Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 183
The old man said directly, "Boss and second child, you can build a yard by yourself and move out after the next year, and you can also build another yard and live in another yard when you get married after four years. It can be done like this."

"As for the family property, I will give one hundred guan to each of them, and one hundred acres of land. That's it, and it will save you the trouble of dividing it."

Dad is a very straightforward person, the originally complicated matter of family separation is much simpler in his hands.

The households are divided first, and then the sons who become families will start a new house to live. As for money, each person will be given [-] mu of land and [-] yuan.

The eldest brother Jizu and the second child Chengzong have no objection to this. The family used to be poor and had little property, but now some of them were saved after they just woke up this year. [-]. For their merits, they can share one hundred acres of land and one hundred pennies, of course there is no objection.

"Big brother and second brother will build a new yard in the next year, let me pay for it." Luo Cheng said.

The old man said, "It's the same at home, but if you really have the heart, it's okay, they are brothers with the same mother, it's up to you."

Then Xiao Liu said, "Then I will buy two cows for the elder brother and the second brother to cultivate land."

Jizu and Chengzong couldn't help being moved, "Thank you fifth and sixth brothers."

"Thank you, all my brothers."

After the agreement was made, the second brother-in-law Wang Ziming personally helped them register.

After some formalities, Luo Cheng's family was divided into seven families from one household. Luo Cheng's account was headed by himself, and then there were four foster sons, Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan, Ximen Junyi, and Wang Huiniang. Adoptive daughter, there are still many people.

As for the eldest brother and the second brother, each of them has only his husband and wife in his account.

The third child, the fourth child, the sixth child, and the only person in the account is himself.

On the father's account, there are still the old couple and a young daughter.

After dividing the households, Luo Cheng handed over the righteous warehouse money by the way.

As Du Ruhui confessed, Luo Cheng and his seven families were all registered as households by him.After all, even if the family is separated, each household has more than 100 mu of land under its name, and those with houses and cattle are indeed counted as upper households in the county.

Households are divided into nine classes. This class is very important. You must wait for a few years.

For example, for the righteous warehouse grain, five stones of millet are required to go to the household, and in addition, grain is requisitioned per mu, with two liters of grain per mu.

Now one household in the Luo family has changed into seven households, all of which are upper households, so every family has to pay five shi of millet, and all of a sudden 35 shi of millet is gone.In addition, Luo Cheng used to have 24 mu of land, but now he has given [-] mu of Yongye land, making it [-] mu.There is no need to pay additional grain for two hundred mu of land, two liters per mu, twenty shi for a thousand mu, and [-] shi here.

"59 Shisu, although our family has increased a lot of land this year, it was all added after the autumn, so it should start to be handed over next year, right?" The eldest brother Jizu felt distressed.

59 Stone Millet.

This is almost one year's rations for the family. I used to eat less, but I couldn't eat so much.

"Forget it." Luo Cheng didn't bother to bother about this, "Can I get a discount?"

"It's not allowed according to the rules, but we don't have any food at home. I can contact the grain merchant. The same goes for buying grain and paying it to the warehouse."

Now the price of rice is about 150 cents per bucket of rice, and millet is paid for warehouse, which is cheaper. It costs about 59 yuan per stone, and 8000 stones of millet cost at least [-] yuan or nearly [-] yuan.

This is because Luo Cheng is an official, and the second brother-in-law is Hu Zuo. They will show up to the grain merchants to save face, otherwise, at the end of the year, if they want to buy so much grain, they will probably be raised in price, and they may pay tens of thousands of dollars.

"Then trouble the second brother-in-law to help us find a grain merchant to buy millet and pay the warehouse. I will give you [-] yuan later."

"Not so much, about eight thousand."

"Don't take advantage of them. In addition, let Husi brothers help. I have to treat everyone to drink. For the few hundred dollars left over from the millet purchase, I can ask my second brother-in-law to buy everyone a drink on my behalf."

"Xiao Wu, you are too particular and too polite." Wang Ziming agreed with a smile.

After handing over the food from the righteous warehouse, Luo Cheng asked Wang Ziming to check out the accounts of the money and food owed by the Luo family before.

But for the former Luo family, this is not a small number.

In fact, the Luo family had never owed rent adjustments before. The main ones in arrears were grain from the free warehouse and some additional apportionments. There are often various apportionments in the county. I owe more and more.

The elder brother and his ancestors are still counting there, "Now the fifth brother is an official, and next year he can be rent-free and transferred to mediocrity, and he doesn't have to serve miscellaneous Yao, and he doesn't need to pay apportionment, but we have separate households, but we have to pay rent and transfer."

"There are a hundred acres of land, but the rent is still paid by the dime. A dime is no more than two stones for rent, two feet of silk, and three taels of cotton. It is affordable." Luo Cheng comforted.

When there was no land in the past, it was really stressful to rent two stones, two zhangs and three liangs of silk, but now the boss has a hundred acres of land, and one mu of land is actually only two liters of rent for one mu of land.And at least one acre can be collected per mu of land. Even after deducting the cost of labor and so on, the tax is about [-] yuan. It can be said that it is not high for self-cultivated farmers with land.

The real pressure on the people of the Sui Dynasty was not the rent adjustment, nor the 20 days of regular service a year. On the contrary, the people who suffered the most and squeezed their power the most were the various miscellaneous labors in the Sui Dynasty.Especially since the Emperor Daye came to the throne, he has made great achievements, various projects have continued, and people in counties and counties all over the country have been recruited continuously. Everyone has no time to farm and produce at home. Being called to serve will not only delay the farming time, but also exhaust the body. , especially after the eastward expedition to Goguryeo, the imperial court dispatched 110 million troops to conquer Liao, and recruited several times as many civilians to transport grain, grass and equipment.

Millions of peasants were conscripted to transport food and equipment thousands of miles away, sending a stone of grain, and spending seven stones on their own way.

"It's okay to pay some rent and transfer. Now you also have official status and official status, at least you don't have to worry about serving in the military."

The second elder brother Chengzong said, "But we are all busy with the yamen affairs now, who will plant so many lands next year?"

"Second brother, you are really worrying too much. We don't have time to plant, so we can ask people to plant. Don't we have more than 20 slaves in our family? What's more, if the slaves can't be planted, we can also farm out the land, or Hire long-term and short-term workers. Don't worry, let alone [-] acres of land, even if it is [-] acres of land, you don't have to worry about not being able to grow it. Instead, you have to worry about the weather next year. Don't have any floods, droughts, locusts, etc. good."

Having said that, the elder brother and the second brother felt a lot easier.

Luo Cheng looked at the whole family, but what he thought in his heart was not that he had added thousands of acres of land for the family, but that he had worked so hard to find an official status for everyone, at least after a few years, The men in their family no longer need to be conscripted by the yamen to serve in various places.

My father and brother don't have to go to Zhuojun to make ordnance, the third brother doesn't have to go to Donglai County to build ships, the fourth brother doesn't have to go to Luoyang to build a city, and he doesn't have to go to Hebei to dig river ditches. Even the brothers-in-law don't have to worry about this trouble next year. Human miscellaneous labor.

It's just that after the next year, it will be the sixth year of Daye.

Next year will be the last year of preparations for the Eastern Expedition, and the year after will be the time when 110 million troops will march to Goguryeo. At that time, the emperor will recruit millions of people from all over the world to deliver food and military equipment to Liaodong. I am afraid that they may not be able to escape at that time. up.
