"Daddy, come in quickly. Look at you looking like this. It's already midnight. Why are you going to the fields?" A woman in simple clothes pulled the middle-aged man in and said something to her.

She complained while sweeping the snow for him.

"What do you know, mother-in-law? All the food grown in this land is your own. Can you rest assured if I don't go and take a look? I'd be really heartbroken if I was ruined by some passing bastard." The middle-aged man looked like you don't want to.

He said with an understanding expression.

"Yes, yes, you are right, head of the house." The woman agreed, without arguing with him. She turned around and brought a bowl of ginger soup from the stove, "Drink it while it's hot. Go and get rid of the cold."

Xi Li was snoring, and the man was sipping ginger soup. The woman was watching from the side. Suddenly, she asked with a slight doubt in her eyebrows, "Master, how come this Imperial Mansion has exempted us from rent?"

What? In the past, I would have liked to take away all our crops."

"Mother~Mother~ I know this, I know. Da Zhuang and the others all said that the new emperor is the crape myrtle emperor from heaven who came down to earth to save the people of Ming Dynasty. He is a wise emperor who comes out every five hundred years, so they exempted our rent.

." A young man next to him jumped out and showed off.

"The emperor has descended to earth. He is a deity in the sky who only appears once every five hundred years. No wonder he exempts us from paying rent. How merciful!" Madam looked like she suddenly understood.

"You know nothing!" The man laughed and cursed, and then said what he heard, "What Emperor Ziwei? That is the purple energy coming from the east, which is a sign of the birth of a saint. The emperor is a saint and a saint. This

A saint, just...just..." The man scratched his head. He didn't know what a saint did for a moment. He usually heard people say that Confucius was a saint, and scholars all worshiped him. But when the emperor was also a saint, the emperor

What should we take care of? Should we also take care of reading?

"I just want to help everyone live a good life, so the emperor exempted us from rent." Looking at the eyes of his wife and children expecting an explanation, the man bit the bullet and made up a random reason.

"Oh, so that's it. The Holy Lord is here to lead us to live a good life! You, the head of the house, are really knowledgeable, you all know this." The woman looked adoring, which greatly benefited the man.

"As for the head of the house, what does the family co-production package that the steward said before mean?" Then, the woman asked another question. Maybe it was because she was so happy to see the head of the house today that she poured out all the words she usually held back.

"What a package, it's the household responsibility system, which means that the land in Huangzhuang will be allocated to our tenant households, and each household will be allocated according to its population." The man looked like you don't know, so don't talk nonsense, but his

But he secretly wiped his sweat in his heart. Fortunately, the stewards carefully explained the meaning of this word to them. Otherwise, he would be blinded and how could he show off in front of his wife.

"Ah! Are you allocating the fields to us?" the woman suddenly shouted in surprise.

"It's not a big deal. This field still belongs to the emperor. It's just that he gave it to us to farm and didn't charge us rent." The man gave his wife a sideways look and said, don't talk nonsense if you don't know.

"But... the fields still belong to the emperor. What if the emperor doesn't want us to plant them one day?" When the woman understood, she looked sad. A good employer like the emperor is not found everywhere.

Hearing this question, the man did not answer immediately, but looked around with a guilty conscience, and then lowered his voice and said, "Have you forgotten that our eldest son has just been recruited into the Yulin Army?"

"Oh, why did we forget about the eldest son? We are all the people around the emperor. As long as we say a few words to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not drive us away. Let's..." Before the woman finished speaking,

She felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. When she looked up, the head of the house stared at her with a pair of bull's eyes, breathing heavily.

"Master, what's wrong?" the woman asked timidly.

Seeing his wife's stupid look, the man said with hatred, "I said you also grew up under the emperor's feet, how can you be so stupid and not see through it?"

"What are you seeing? Master, don't hide it." The woman still looked confused.

"Look at you... Hey, forget it, let me tell you." The man lowered his voice, "Did you know that the guards in Beizhili have been abolished recently?"

"I know, we have been arranged to have several dismantled health centers here. I heard that they will leave this kind of land in the future." The woman quickly interjected.

"Hey... I said, can you please stop interrupting?" the man said anxiously, eyes wide.

"Yes, Mom, please stop talking. I still want to listen to Dad telling stories!" The young man next to me was not happy for my mother to interrupt.

"Hey, you two...forget it, I won't say anything anymore. You, the boss, please tell me."

"Let me tell you two directly, the emperor is trying to stabilize the morale of the army." The man did not pause, as if he was afraid that his wife would interrupt, and spoke without stopping, "It is hard to be together in the guard station, but at least it is still good.

I have some land, and I work for the gentlemen, so my life is not bad. The emperor evacuated them as soon as he came, can they have no objection?"

"But if at this time there is a piece of land that does not belong to you, but does not charge you rent and is given to you for farming, would you be happy? Do you still have any objections in your heart?"

"I guess... I have no objection." The woman thought about it in her mind and found that no matter how she compared the prices, life would be better after the abolition.

"Yes, that's why the emperor waived the rent first. With our precedent, wouldn't it be smoother to dismantle the guard stations later on? This is really a wonderful move." After the man finished speaking, he smacked his lips, as if

Reminiscing about the emperor's superb skills.

"Moreover, many people in the Yulin Army, the army that helped the Emperor ascend the throne, are the sons of the tenants of the Imperial Village. For example, our family used to be tenants of the Duke's family, but now we suddenly became the tenants of the Imperial Village. And

Our eldest child has also been recruited into the Yulin Army, and the emperor is rent-free. This is a safe place for people like us who have sons in the Yulin Army." After the man finished thinking about it, something seemed to sound again, and he showed off again.

.

"So, don't worry, the emperor will not drive us away. We can keep farming on this rent-free land."

"This is so true!!!" The complex calculation made the woman dizzy, but after all she grew up under the emperor's feet, so she could easily understand this point.

"That's not right, the head of the house." The woman suddenly became suspicious.

"What's wrong? I didn't say anything wrong." The man was a little confused by his wife's expression. He thought over his words secretly and found that there was nothing wrong. That's what Brother Li said to me.

"What you said is correct, but the person who spoke is wrong. Boss, tell me honestly from whom you heard these words. You don't have the ability to think so clearly." The woman said, "I know you very well."

He seemed to be asking for the truth.

"Haha, daughter-in-law, why didn't I think of this myself?" the man said sarcastically.

The woman didn't speak, but just looked at him. Her knowing look put a lot of pressure on the man. Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore and had to admit, "Brother Li said it. I was worried about this problem like you that day."

, that’s how Brother Li explained it to me.”

"Brother Li? Which Brother Li?" The woman thought about it and realized, "Is it the family that moved here when the guard station was dismantled some time ago?"

"Well. Let me tell you a secret secretly. Brother Li's eldest son is also in the Emperor's Yulin Army just like our eldest son, but he joined much earlier than our eldest son. Five years ago

I entered the Yulin Army when it was first established." The man whispered another secret.

"What's the name of his eldest child?" the woman asked curiously.
