Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 41 Choosing a House

Luo Baihu put Song Zhenping's brother and sister's household registration before Zhao Tingduo's case, and explained why the Song family wanted to join the military household.

Only then did he laugh and say: "Third Young Master, even though you are a lowly official, you never lie to others.

Especially when others take the initiative to enter the military households, they think highly of those of us who eat military rations, and they are our own people.

I've said everything I need to say, and if they are still willing to enter the military household, I will arrange for people to choose houses and land for them.

Anyway, those things come for nothing, and the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. "

Suijin Town has now become a ghost town, and the Qili County Government to which it belongs has been abandoned.

The Zhenbei Army is willing to take over, and the county government is still happy to take it easy.

"Well! That's it! You still talk about whether the barracks can be built before winter!" Zhao Tingduo casually flipped through the account book and threw it aside.

It is indeed a way for this kind of desperate farmer to turn into a military household, but it is a decision to make a strong man cut his wrists.

After all, according to the laws of the imperial court, military households cannot be transferred to civilian registration at will, scientific examinations are not allowed for three generations, and every household is recruited into the army after a war.

Just relying on these three items makes many people feel intimidated, and even calls the military status a cheap one.

As for the need to pay [-]% of the food to the army every year, there are no other exorbitant taxes, which are actually less than the government.

Zhao Tingduo, the third son of Zhenbei Houfu, came to Suijin Town, ostensibly to supervise the construction of the guardhouse, but in fact, he was taking care of the placer gold detection on behalf of his elder brother Zhao Tinglei.

It was just a coincidence that someone defected to the Zhenbei Army, so naturally he didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that the third son started to ask about business matters again, Luo Baihu's face immediately sank.

In the past six months, he has been like a foreman, repairing houses and building walls every day, and he has long been tired of it.

But this matter was ordered by Lei Qianhu, and someone was sent to inspect it.

The third son in front of him came from a special background. Although he didn't serve in the army, he was very fond of the Marquis, so he had to raise his spirits to deal with it.

On the other side, Xue Xiaoqi led the three brothers and sisters to the east of the town where the houses are densest.

This is also the most prosperous market in the past, and the houses that survived the catastrophe are basically here.

It is rare to see any new faces in Suijin Town. At this time, when a sergeant leader came to look at the house, the aborigines gathered around to look at the house.

Pointing to a row of cleared small courtyards, Xue Xiaoqi said with a little pride: "Those houses are managed by the guards, and they are vacant now. If I have a word, you can choose a courtyard at random, and no one dares to harass you."

Song Liyun nodded casually, raised her leg and entered a nearby yard.

She doesn't know much about Suijin Town, so she'd better have a look.

The courtyard wall is as high as a person, the courtyard is not big, and the ground is paved with pebbles.

A small vegetable field was left next to it, which is now empty, revealing the newly turned gray-brown soil.

The room is one entrance, three main rooms and two wing rooms.

There are kangs in the two rooms of the main room, and the surface of the kangs is broken, exposing the fire channel that has not been completely blackened inside, which shows that the house has not been used for a long time.

Someone should have searched these houses. There is no furniture inside, no window paper, and the houses are full of sand.

Song Zhenping pulled Xiaoan to look around, and then touched and touched the new-colored wooden pillars under the porch, full of joy.

This is much better than the dark side room of the second uncle's house.

Song Liyun didn't go into the house, just looked outside and directly denied it.

She wants a spacious open space, not such a compact courtyard.

Even if it's a little more desolate and a bit more decadent, at least it can make Xiaoan run happily, the kind that can laugh unrestrainedly and unrestrainedly.

And she doesn't want her neighbors to listen to the corner of the wall, and she has to change her smile when she goes out.

The three brothers and sisters were looking at the house inside, and Xue Xiaoqi stood majestically by the courtyard gate and lectured the neighbors around: "This will be a military town in the future, and there are more and more military households. You civilian households, be honest. If we know that you have All bullying and xenophobia must be thrown out."

The householders shrank back in fear, saying that they dare not.

Because of the tragedy in Suijin Town, from the state capital to the nearest Qili County, more than ten officials were killed and demoted.

Since then, the government has never come to collect taxes, and there is no appeasement and compensation for the dead in Suijin Town, and even the living people are ignored.

Quite a bit of leaving them here to fend for themselves.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. In the past, when Suijin Town was still a village, hundreds of people lived well.

In the middle of the month, there will be salesmen coming, and the village will be lively for a few days.

But Jinsha is like a nightmare for people. After going through prosperity and retreating to deserted villages and towns, everyone can't bear it.

Those who can go have gone, and those who can't will continue to live on, and can no longer find the vitality they used to have.

Now that the Zhenbei Army is going to build a guard station, they have recruited some young people from the remaining 200 people in the town to work, and they have to pay for food and money, so there is some hope.

All hope is given by Wei.

Therefore, Xue Xiaoqi's words were heard in the ears of the residents, and naturally they felt a sense of fear towards the military households.

The three Song Liyun brothers and sisters came out of the yard, and what they saw was Xue Xiaoqi, who was proud and arrogant, and the aborigines of Suijin Town, who were dressed in shabby clothes, watching from a distance.

Seeing Song Liyun coming out, Xue Xiaoqi greeted her with a smiling face: "What do you think, Miss Song? This is in the middle of the town. You can do some business in the future. I have greeted everyone around, and no one dares to disrespect you. "

Song Liyun smiled faintly: "Master Xue is bothering you. For such a big matter as choosing a family, my brother is in charge."

Only then did Xue Xiaoqi seem to think of Song Zhenping, turned around and looked at him with raised eyebrows and said: "What does Brother Song think of this room, I think it's settled like this.

This is in the town, if Brother Song wants to set up a stall to sell some needles and thread, it will be convenient.

To be honest, I asked for the yard next to me when I turned around, so it will be convenient for our two families to come and go. "

Hearing his words was a bit inexplicable, Song Liyun couldn't help but glance at him: Who will be the neighbor?
In the courtyard, Song Zhenping already knew that Song Liyun was not satisfied with the house.

Although in his opinion, this place is already very good, but he still has to listen to the second sister's arrangement.

"Master Xue, I'm a farmer and I don't know how to do business. It's better to be closer to the land."

Song Zhenping said, his instinctive reaction was also that he didn't want to be a neighbor with this person.

"You don't even look down on such a house?"

Sensing the indifference towards him from the brothers and sisters, Xue Xiaoqi's expression turned pale: Although his position is Xiaoqi, he still manages ten brothers under his command.

He didn't even take a sip of tea, leaving his brothers behind and running dryly to help the candidate choose a house, and he didn't appreciate it.

If it wasn't for the loneliness in the army and the girl in front of him, he wouldn't bother talking.

Holding back his resentment, Xue Xiaoqi said in a deep voice: "That's fine, you can look for the yard next to it. Anyway, I can tell you the best yard is here. The further you look back, the worse it will be."

Song Liyun was not in a hurry to look at the house, but walked towards the aborigines who were shrinking away, and said with a smile: "Uncles and aunts, we three brothers and sisters are farmers. Our parents died early and our lives are difficult. Now we only want to live in expensive land. There is a piece of land to grow, there is food to eat, and it will not cause trouble to everyone."
