Chapter 236 Arrangement (1)

Grandpa, grandson will never forget! Zhu Yunxiu said seriously, grandson, not only will they remember forever, but also let their descendants remember them, so that they can know the difficulties of the world!

Good boy! The old man praised.

At this time, after Hu Laosan sent his wife to buy fish, he turned around and said with a smile, "Old man, young master, you guys, just sit there!"

The yard was a little messy, and the old man didn't dislike it. He pulled Zhu Yunxi to sit on the only two rattan chairs. The others formed a circle and looked around with caution.

The third son of Hu covered his chest and walked into the thatched room, whispered to the room in the front room, "Mom, I'm back!"

An old woman's voice came from inside. She was not working in the field and came back so early. After hearing so much noise outside, who came?

Hu Laosan pushed open the door and then exclaimed inside.

Then the old woman swears, you want to piss me off to death? You take so much money for no reason? Do you think I am old and confused? How did I teach you? Although we are poor, we must be poor and have ambition and conscience!

Obviously, Hu Laosan wanted to give the silver dollars to my mother. His mother was frightened and thought it was ill-gotten gain.

As Hu Laosan defended, an old woman with gray hair bent over and pushed open the door and walked out slowly with crutches. She looked at the yard with muddy eyes and said humbly, "Dear guest, my child is not a little careless and confused." She just suppressed some crops, how could she collect so much money!

As he said, carrying the money bag, he said tremblingly, take it back quickly, we dare not bear this money!

He is a sensible old man!

Zhu Yunxiu stood up and said with a smile, "Old man, Brother Hu San didn't explain to you that this money was not for nothing. You can buy a few acres of grain from your family!"

The old woman was stunned. There was no need to be so much food for my little land!

Zhu Yunxiu thought about it and said, not only are the ones who buy grain, but the rice in your field is planted better than other people's, and the ears are larger than those in other people's. I also have some fields in my house, and I want to ask Brother Hu San to go and grow them next year. The crop style is also a skillful way. If he grows well, he is capable. This money is the wage he gives him!

Be serious? The old woman still doesn't believe it, but there are too many of them!

Old sister, please take it! The old man also said, "Cultivating crops well is a secret recipe that is not a secret. We can spend a little money to get the tips of your farming, and we are not happy yet!"

What secret recipe does he have...but...

Mom, don’t worry, you have to understand the money. You can go back to the house and rest and stew fish for you later! Hu Laosan quickly helped his mother back.

After settling down his mother, Hu Laosan came out and smiled honestly again, which made the old man laugh!

What a joke? Your mother is a sensible person. The old man smiled and looked at him. You are also a filial son. If you have money, you will give it to me first!

My mother is the biggest in the family, whom I don’t give to her? Hu Laosan squatted outside the threshold and grinned.

The old man also smiled and asked casually, where is your father?

My father died long ago, and he fell to death while repairing the city wall! Hu Laosan sighed and said, he has been dead for more than 20 years!

Suddenly, the smile on the old man's face disappeared.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was established in Yingtian Prefecture, and it was expanded several times over the years based on its original foundation. The people who worked were all the people around the capital.

The official, didn’t you give me any pensions? The old man asked in a deep voice.

I gave it to my family, and the two acres of paddy fields were for the pension! Hu Laosan smiled and said, "Your Ming Emperor is so good, you treat us people as humans." The village said that when the Emperor Dayuan was there, people died, and they were no different from dead animals. I was born in the Ming Dynasty, and I still had land for death. This is paddy fields and I can't buy them even if I spend money!

As he said that, he laughed again. These two acres of paddy fields were of great use. At that time, I was young, and it was not easy for my mother to pull me. With this little rice, I changed coarse grains every year and raised some chickens and ducks, which made me not hungry. When I got older, I used two loo of rice as a betrothal gift and married me a wife! Haha!

The old man's face calmed down and he whispered, "Duji!"

Others may not be able to hear it, but Zhu Yunyu heard it sincerely, but only the old man knew who the old man was scolding.

The farmers and the people have to bear both national taxes and labor service, and they have no time to spare in their lives.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the objects in the yard and several children who were hiding away. He didn't want the old man to feel uncomfortable any more. He asked, "Holy San, your family has six acres of land. Is there enough food for the family after going to the imperial grain? As he said that, he pointed to the children. If they were older, they could eat very well!"

Hu Laosan looked at his sons and frowned, but he still smiled. The poor family had a way of living. Now the world is peaceful and the weather is good. The fish in the river, the grain in the field, and the wild vegetables in the mountains can't starve to death. When they are older, they are also strong laborers. If they really can't go to the city to carry packages on the wharf, they can make a living!

Although I eat a lot, I can’t do it without strong labor. Only when there are too many people can I live a good life! Hu Laosan has a simple view of life and continued to smile and said, today I got the money rewarded by the old man, so I went back to buy some land and couldn’t be hungry!

People, no matter how hard they are, they have never given up their beautiful hope for life!

The old man asked again, how much imperial grain do you pay in a year?

Hu Laosan was stunned. He forgot his fingers as thick as a carrot, and he had a bitter face. I didn’t know. Anyway, the village chief and the official told him to give me as much as I would give me?

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "You are such a fool, aren't you afraid that others will lie to you and ask you to have more friends?"

Who dares? Hu Laosan glared and said, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so cruel to kill corrupt officials!" How much does he ask for money? Who dares to increase the amount? A few years ago, there was a grain collector in the next village. The big bucket changed to a small bucket, and the emperor and his family killed the whole family!"

As he said that, Hu Laosan grinned, with our Ming Emperor here, it would be impossible to bully the common people. They have a few heads! When they get angry, I have a great imperial edict on my head and go complain!

Suddenly, the old man laughed again.

The Great Edict is the highest law that was personally promulgated by the old man several times. It records in detail the methods of handling various corrupt officials.

To promulgate the world, everyone should have a copy of it. If the people are illiterate, the local officials should send a master to explain it so that the people can understand the reason. If the local government is not implemented properly, they will be dismissed from office and dismissed from office and sent to the army. If the people refuse but refuse, the whole family will be sent to the border and the Ming Dynasty will be cancelled.

Once the people find that officials are harming them, they can go to Beijing to file a lawsuit with a great imperial edict. The officials along the way are not allowed to stop them, and whoever stops them will die.

Maybe the emperor could not do this far away from the mountains. But after all, this is at the foot of the emperor, and the officials dare not fool them at all.

Moreover, due to the last year's case of knocking on the verge, the old man once again made repeated orders to make the people of the world know the great edict. No matter the city and the farmers, they are all one.

At the same time, a few points were added to the great edict: Any virtuous and upright people in cities and villages, if local officials act as traitors of the people, they can tie up the capital to complain.

To put it bluntly, I just tell the people who dare to bully you, arrest you and send it to the capital, and I will make the decision for you.

Although it is somewhat idealistic and the people may not dare to do so, the old man is indeed the first emperor who has encouraged the people to sue officials and arrest officials throughout history.

Where is corvee service? The old man asked again, although there is little land in your family, you are also a farmer. You have to perform corvee service during the slack farming period. Is corvee service important?

Hehe! Hu Laosan laughed, I am lucky, the corvee service arranged by the officials is a good job!

This made Zhu Yunyu a little curious. Corvée service is to serve the country, and it does physical work and can slightly compensate for some taxes. It is like Zhu Yunyu conquered Goryeo and sent Liaodong civilians to use it with the army. These people brought their own food and used their labor for tax reduction and exemption.

Others avoid it, why does this Hu Laosan still say that he is a good life?

What kind of work are you? The old man asked with a smile.

Collect manure! Hu Laosan was so happy that when I was in labor service, I drove a donkey cart to the capital to receive manure along the street!

How can this manure be collected? The old man was interested and asked.

You don’t understand! Hu Laosan smiled proudly and said, “Doing is a treasure. My land can grow so well because of the manure! I collected the manure in the city and took it back to my own fields. What is this called fat water?







?

The fat water does not flow from outsiders to the outside world? The old man smiled and said, "Your youth is so smart!" The manure is a good fertilizer!"

In addition to being fertilizer, how much money can you get! Hu Laosan said mysteriously, I am diligent and carry a brush with me. The toilets of wealthy families are cleaned. I can get a reward of copper coins every once in a while! The one who collects manure with me is a few wealthy families in Lin Town. They think it smells bad, so each of them gives me a few buckets of coarse grains, and I will pack up the living!

No wonder you grow crops so well! Zhu Yunxiu also smiled and said, "That's right, although you have little land, your life is not worse than others." Even if you have two more sons, you won't be tired!"

I dare not say that!

Hu Laosan waved his hands repeatedly, and it was also hard! Look, my donkey is tired when pulling a cart every day.

The Zhu family was curious and turned their heads to look at the donkey. The beast was quite proud. While eating hay, it blew its huge nostrils and rolled its eyes.

What a beast! The old man smiled.

At this time, the children in the yard cheered and my mother was back!

I saw that Hu Lao San’s wife came in with a fish weighing about ten pounds and a few pieces of tofu. She smiled shyly at the old man and Zhu Yun.
Chapter completed!
