Hearing that his parents were going to marry him, Zhang Tiezhu's face turned red immediately, and he quickly shook his head and refused.:.../

"My mom and dad, this money is for you to use normally. If I really want to find a wife in the future, I can earn enough money..."

"Now the imperial court is attacking our provinces in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and wants to take back all the fields and cattle and sheep that the general just distributed to us. Of course, our general Wei will not do it. The general said that as long as the imperial government army dares to come to the provinces in Shanxi and Shaanxi, we will destroy them."

"When I was fighting with the poor and useless people in the court, I could make some military achievements casually. According to the rules of the Tiger and Leopard Army, as long as I have military achievements, the General Wei will reward me with silver and continue to be promoted to my official position. At that time, even a few hundred taels of silver will be easy for me."

"So, you can use the money I have brought back by my son."

Seeing the confident smile on the boss's face, Zhang Tiezhu's face also smiled like a flower. It was as if the person who was going to the battlefield was himself, and he said boldly: "Okay, I am worthy of being my son of Carpenter Zhang, who has backbone..."

"I remember that back then, our family was also very angry with the government army. Your grandfather was beaten to death by the government army."

"In my opinion, the government army does not have a good thing. Seeing us living a good life, I want to come and rob. It is simply a group of bandits who are inferior to beasts. When you arrive at the battlefield, you must cut off the heads of a few more officers and soldiers to avenge your dead grandfather."

Zhang Tiezhu nodded and replied: "Dad, don't worry. As long as the official army dares to come, we will dare to kill them all. Even if we die, we can't go back to live such hungry days."

After saying that, Zhang Tiezhu turned his attention to fifty taels of silver again.

He said with gratitude to the two elders: "My parents. I am in the Tiger and Leopard Army and I can eat meat every day. I know that our family does not have shortage of food, but it is still difficult to eat a bite of meat. Look at my younger brother and sister, it is time to grow up now. So, you can use these money and buy more meat to eat..."

"My son is in the army of the Tiger and Leopard Army. He is unable to respect your two elders in normal times. He can only give you more money. Therefore, no matter what, you must accept the money."

Hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu shook his head again and replied: "No matter what, we won't use these silver. You must know that these silver are all exchanged for your life. Since you insist, I will take it for you to take it away. Keep it for you to marry a wife and build a house in the future. As for the family, don't worry, after the autumn harvest, we will not be short of silver..."

"Care autumn grains, I promise you that you will definitely let your younger brothers and sisters eat a meal every few days."

After saying that, a smile of relief from the bottom of his heart then appeared on Carpenter Zhang's face.

Hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu, who was a soldier, also showed an expression of interest on his face.

He asked with anticipation on his face: "Dad...Mom...Let me tell me how much food our family can collect this year. It's so happy that you're almost unable to stop."

Carpenter Zhang shook his head and replied: "I don't know how much it is. After all, this is our first time growing wheat. However, I have asked my neighbor's house because the Grandmaster dug us deep wells, and the Governor's Office asked us to use a lot of fermented fertilizer in the fields. This year's yield is better than in previous years. There is absolutely no problem to collect two chunks of wheat per acre of land."

"However, the exact amount of harvest can be found only after the autumn harvest is over."

"It just so happened that Tiezhu, you are back. From tomorrow, our family will start to harvest wheat, and strive to take ten days to collect all the wheat into the granary."

The next day, the whole family of six came to their own farmland and began to harvest wheat.

As time passes day by day, more and more wheat is harvested...

After a series of harvesting, threshing, and drying..., bags of wheat were taken into the granary by Carpenter Zhang.

When the last bag of grain was carried into the granary, the tension and worry on Carpenter Zhang's face immediately disappeared. At the same time, a smile of satisfaction from the heart also appeared on Carpenter Zhang's weathered face.

Because the total income of my family's forty acres of wheat fields unexpectedly reached an astonishing 88 dan. It was as much as eight dan more than I had expected.

Faced with this result, not only Carpenter Zhang, but everyone in the family laughed...

In order to express his excitement, the excited old father directly hugged the bedding and slept in the granary full of food for one night.

After the whole family recovered from excitement, Zhang Tiezhu, who had learned a lot of things in the Tiger and Leopard Army Middle School, immediately asked a question he was most concerned about: "Dad, it's impossible to pile all of them in the granary... I wonder how you plan to use this grain?"

Faced with this question, the excited Carpenter Zhang immediately returned to his calmness and answered to the boss.

"According to the agreement when dividing the fields, five dou of grain will be paid per acre of land in the first three years after the fields are distributed."

"Two of the douches of grain are grain taxes, and the remaining three douches of grain will be used as the Governor's Office to divide the fields and dig deep wells. The price of food rations for about a year will be returned to the Governor's Office."

"So, among these grains, there are twenty thrones of grain from the Governor's Office, and they cannot be moved no matter what."

"The Governor's Office is so good to us. Now that we have a good harvest, we must not owe the Governor's Office grain tax."

After nodding to his father's answer, Zhang Tiezhu continued to ask: "Except for twenty dans of grain tax, our family still has 68 dans of grain left... I don't know what parents, what are you going to do with the remaining grain."

At this time, Carpenter Zhang responded to a word he often heard, that is: "If you have food in your hands, you won't feel panic"...

Facing the question raised by the boss, Carpenter Zhang, with a smile on his face, answered calmly...

"We have seven people in our family, so we have to leave thirty thrones of food..."

"In order to deal with the possible disasters next year, I plan to leave fifteen tracts of food to store."

"In this case, forty-five dans of grain will be taken. As for the remaining twenty-three dans of grain, I decided to respond to the call of the Governor's Office and sell them all to the Governor's Office. I will pay back the sixty taels of silver that our family had bought and owed to the Governor's Office."

"As for the remaining money sold in the grain, we will keep it as our family's expenses for a year."

"When the grain is collected next year, we will save the money for your second brother, so that we can marry a wife for your second brother next year..."

Facing the satisfied smile on his father's face, Zhang Tiezhu shook his head and denied: "My parents, to be honest, I don't agree with you doing this..."

Carpenter Zhang was stunned and immediately thought that the boss is no longer a boy who didn't know anything, but a lower-level officer of the Tiger and Leopard Army. He has much more knowledge and knowledge than himself.

In this case, the boss in front of him may have better ideas and opinions than himself.

Thinking of this, Carpenter Zhang asked directly without any hesitation.

"Tiezhu, you have a lot of knowledge. What do you think? If you say it well, we will listen to you..."

Zhang Tiezhu did not hesitate and directly expressed his thoughts...

"Sixty-eight tracts of grain, except for thirty-tenth tracts of food left behind, the remaining thirty-eight tracts of grain will be sold to the Governor's Office. At the current price of four taels of silver per tract of grain, thirty-eight tracts of grain can be sold in total more than one hundred and fifty tracts of grain."

"As for these silvers, I got 100 taels of them and went to the Governor's Office to buy a plowing ox. The remaining fifty taels will be used as our family's annual expenses to make the family's life better."

When it comes to plowing ox, Carpenter Zhang felt a pain in his heart.

When I was distributing cattle and sheep, I thought cattle were too expensive and didn’t want them.

However, with the help of the ox, the garrisoners who sought oxen, only half of their time had to cultivate all the fields distributed by the Governor's Office. In this case, because the spring plowing time had not yet ended, each of these garrisoners used this time to privately reclaim four or five acres of land.

Although these lands also require grain tax, after removing the grain tax, all four or five acres of land will be harvested and seven or eight dans of grain will still be harvested.

Based on this harvest, these residents can get a plowing ox for no more than two years without paying any other price.

And such a good thing was actually ignored by myself and gave up...

Therefore, whenever Carpenter Zhang sees these oxen plowing people, he will feel very jealous and heartbroken. He also regrets why he couldn't be so cruel to bring back a ox like them.

Faced with his son's sudden idea of ​​buying a plowing ox, Carpenter Zhang was ready to agree without thinking.

At this moment, Carpenter Zhang suddenly realized that in the boss's proposal, he did not pay back the Governor's Office 60 taels of silver.

So Carpenter Zhang asked directly: "Tiezhu, what about the sixty taels of silver we bought for sheep?"

Zhang Tiezhu replied without thinking: "I owe you for the time being... I will wait until next year, I will directly sell the sheep and pay the money..."

"My son just saw it. The six sheep we bought back at the beginning have now become nine. According to this development momentum, by the autumn harvest next year, there will be fourteen or five nine sheep..."

"At that time, you can pay back the money if you sell six or seven sheep..."

Carpenter Zhang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Boss, you are right. I just thought about food, but I forgot the nine-headed sheep in my family..."

"Anyway, we owe the sixty taels of silver from the Governor's Office without interest, and this year is the same as next year..."

"Nine-headed sheep, by next year, it will be at least fifteen..."
