Chapter 86 The Prime Minister’s Mother 26 (Fifth update)

With a thought, Mingyue closed the system interface in front of her, closed her eyes and covered herself with the quilt next to her.

Today is another full and energetic day.

I will wake up early tomorrow morning and work hard like an old scalper to plant cabbage! This is a vegetable for the whole winter! You have to plant more, because there may not be enough for you to eat by then.

I am destined to be as tired as a dog these days.

Old scalper Mingyue!

Because Mingyue went to bed on time at seven o'clock tonight, she got up very early the next day, that is, at ten o'clock.

Mingyue got up early in the morning, finished exercising, and was preparing to have lunch when there was a knock on the door and a familiar loud voice.

Zhao Lianhua stood outside the courtyard door and knocked very loudly, shouting loudly: "Widow Zhou! Widow Zhou! Are you at home now? I have something to ask you."

As soon as Mingyue heard this, she immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by Zhao Lianhua a few days ago. Mingyue frowned involuntarily when she heard this familiar voice.

Oops! Oops! Isn’t it because you were addicted to chatting with yourself a few days ago? Now you are still gossiping about yourself, oh my god! I can’t bear it!

Moreover, it was still noon, it was time to eat, why did Zhao Lianhua come to call her? Did she want to take advantage of her?

But Zhao Lianhua is not so sensible! Knowing that there are only orphans and widows left in her family, and she doesn’t even have enough food to eat, she probably doesn’t have the nerve to come over and eat!

Mingyue thought uncertainly.

But Zhao Lianhua knocked so loudly on the door, and since he hadn't gone out in the past few days, it was impossible to pretend that he didn't hear it!

Alas! Mingyue accepted her fate and opened the door.

As soon as Mingyue opened the door latch, Zhao Lianhua's whole body was leaning against the door. The door latch suddenly opened, and Zhao Lianhua almost fell in. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held both sides of the door.

When the door opened quickly, Mingyue immediately stepped back, fearing that the door would hit her.

Seeing that she had made a fool of herself, Zhao Lianhua smiled sheepishly, but she still said: "Widow Zhou! Li Zheng informed us that something happened!"

???

Li Zheng informed me that something happened.

Why did Li Zheng gather everyone together at this time? Mingyue looked confused and couldn't figure it out at all! Moreover, it was lunch time, so if something happened, shouldn't it be better to gather at one o'clock in the afternoon after dinner?

Mingyue asked: "Are the whole village gathered together? Do everyone have to go?"

Zhao Lianhua nodded and said in a loud voice:

"Yes! Everyone is going. I see other people have gone. They have been staying in the yard for the past few days and have never gone out. I guess you don't know, so I'm here to inform you! You see what I mean to you

All right!"

Mingyue reluctantly accepted Zhao Lianhua's kindness, but she couldn't accept Zhao Lianhua's kindness. What if she got close to her, and what if she went into her home to gossip with her every day when she had nothing to do? She could just eat something secretly.

Can't eat anymore.

But he still asked: "Do you want to go now? Can you wait until I finish eating?"

Zhao Lianhua shook his head directly and said, "Li Zheng said no, I have to go now! I have to go even if I haven't eaten!"

Li Zheng said so, what could Mingyue do? He had no choice but to lock the courtyard door on an empty stomach and follow Zhao Lianhua to the sun drying ground in Shai Valley.

At this time, many people have gathered in the sunbathing area, and everyone is chattering and discussing, what are they doing this time? They called us here without eating at noon, do we still have anything to do?

After a while, almost everyone came.

Li Zhengcai walked slowly and walked in front of everyone.

Li Zheng frowned and had a sullen face, feeling that something big was about to happen.

Li Zheng's eldest son shouted in front of everyone: "Be quiet! The court has something to announce! The order was conveyed today."

Hearing what Li Zheng's eldest son said, it was an order from the court, and everyone became quiet, as quiet as a chicken.

Even if everyone quieted down, Li Zheng's frown did not relax at this time. Obviously this matter was a bad thing and very difficult.

After the entire sunbathing area became quiet, Li Zheng began to speak:

"Villers of Sunjia Village! I just received an order from the imperial court. The imperial court is going to build a canal. Now I am recruiting corvee workers! And I will set off tomorrow. The reason why I called everyone here in such a hurry today is to

This news will be announced immediately."

Hearing the word corvee, all the villagers were stunned. How could they come to do corvee?

Corvee labor is not a good thing. Each household needs a strong labor force to work for free, and it is very hard. Many people who were called to labor force died directly in the place of labor because they could not bear the heavy work!

The sunbathing area, which had been quiet just now, instantly erupted into a lot of discussion, which was even louder than the discussion before it was quiet.

Li Zheng's son shouted again: "Everyone, be quiet! My dad has something else to say!"

Hearing this, the villagers' discussion gradually became lowered, wanting to hear what else Li Zheng had to say.

Li Zheng saw that everyone had calmed down, and continued: "The order also said that if you don't want to do corvee service, you must pay one tael of silver, so that you can be exempted from corvee service!"

What! One tael of silver? So expensive?

What is the concept of one tael of silver? A family may not earn one tael of silver in a year.

Isn't this the same as saying something or not saying it?

The villagers broke into even more heated discussions.

Li Zheng finished everything and let them discuss it. After all, the corvee was also very distressing for his family. Although his family was not as poor as these villagers, it was still very difficult to spend even a tael of silver!

Hey! It’s not easy to live in this world!

Li Zheng also walked to his home sadly. Should he send his son to serve as a corvee, or should he pay a tael of silver?

When Mingyue heard this, she felt like she was relying on me. How could she come to do corvee work? This is an activity with a huge number of deaths. Like her own family, she had to pay money, but because she was a female household,

, you can just pay 500 Wen.

But the original owner's natal family couldn't do it. The original owner's natal family was so poor that they couldn't afford even a tael of silver.

If he wants to go, it must be Sun Mingyu who goes. There is absolutely no way he can let his father go. If he lets his father go, he will definitely go and never come back. If Sun Mingyu goes, he may come back alive. After all, he is a young man.

But if you go there, it will cost you half your life! The best thing is to pay, but it’s only one tael of silver!

At this time, Zhao Lianhua didn't care about Mingyue, she was almost bald with worry, and her whole body was spinning in anxiety.

After Mingyue heard what she said, she went home. After all, she had to pay the money. There were only orphans and widowers left at home, and what she wanted was only strong labor force. She didn't have a share if she wanted to go.

Mingyue thought for a while, and she first lent a couple of silver to her parents' family. She must not let anyone go, otherwise what would happen if she couldn't come back? That would be a life! She went back to her parents' house after dinner and said, she must not let the original owner's brother

Or the original owner's father.
