After saving the pig god, I counterattacked and became the richest man in the village

Chapter 16 016 Wang Baochang

He Ju was beside him and said, "Okay, Niushuan is ready to eat."

Zhao Ercheng was eating porridge boiled with crucian carp beside him, and Zhao Yuantong was eating porridge with a special spoon for babies.

I have already eaten yesterday's leftovers at noon today, and the dinner is a little bland.

After eating, Zhao Yuanle took out the branch and brought it in front of Zhao Ercheng.

"Father, come and teach me how to make a slingshot."

Zhao Ercheng glanced at the branch, and couldn't help admiring it.

"This is good. The slingshot will be good and straight."

Zhao Yuanlan came over and said, "Let's take it and hunt birds to eat."

He Ju heard the words, glanced at the tree branch, and said: "If this is made into a slingshot, all the dolls in the valley will follow you and run away."

Zhao Sancheng came over, took the branch and looked at it, very satisfied.

"I'm going to cut off that piece of cowhide, and the tendon. Make sure to get a good slingshot."

Zhao Yuantong also leaned over, staring at him with big eyes.

He Ju smiled and said, "Even if Yao'er is older, I can get Yao'er a good slingshot."

Zhao Yuanlan patted Zhao Yuantong on the back lightly.

"At that time, my sister will take you to hunt birds."

He Ju couldn't help laughing at Zhao Yuanlan's appearance.

"You're like a boy."

Zhao Yuanlan: "Mom, so you said I look like a boy, okay?"

He Ju paused.

She has said such things, but this girl is different from a boy after all.

"Girls still have to marry. How can you talk about your husband's family after you look like this? You still have to look like a girl in front of outsiders."

Zhao Yuanlan didn't listen.

Before Zhao Yuantong was born, she had always been the youngest in the whole family, and all her brothers and sisters were kind to her.

At that time, her mother also indulged her a lot.

As a result, after her second mother gave birth to her younger brother, her mother began to say that she was not like a girl anymore.

really change...

But Zhao Yuanlan didn't care about these things, she just got a few more words from her mother, but her younger brother and second sister had no mothers anymore.

So she never complained that her mother treated her younger brother better.

She glanced at Zhao Yuanle next to her.

In fact, her second sister had a temperament similar to hers before, or she had followed her second sister to become this temperament.

But since the second mother was gone, her second sister has more things to do, and her temperament is different from before, and she is not so happy a lot of the time.

Zhao Yuanlan found that after diving into the cave that day, the second sister seemed to have regained her temper.

It is estimated that he was hit by a ghost, so he was stimulated.

She thought that she should treat the second sister better.

but…

Looking at the branch in Zhao Yuanle's hand.

Zhao Yuanlan thinks that she is better at hitting the slingshot, and she will be the first to use it.

On the second day, Zhao Yuanle was still asleep, and Zhao Yuanlan next to him tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She got up all at once.

"Second sister, let's get up and make a slingshot."

Zhao Yuanle rubbed his eyes.

She really admired Zhao Yuanlan's energy.

"Sleep for a while, it's still dark, can the slingshot still run?"

The slingshot can't run away, but there are guests at home.

Or... the future in-laws.

Wang Baochang, who had appeared many times in everyone's mouth, brought a group of servants to Zhaojiaao.

Wang Baochang is the local snake in this area.

Not only Zhaojiaao, but also other ditches and villages, many people rented the fields of Wang Baochang's family to plant.

Unlike ordinary landlords, the reason why Wang Baochang is Wang Baochang is because he still has the right to manage this area.

There are dozens of long-term workers under him, plus the servants at home, there are hundreds of entourages, and there are dozens of guns in their hands. Although they are earthen guns, they are enough for this place.

This local snake is very confident.

Today, Wang Baochang personally came to solve some tenants' problems.

Although the past two years have been smooth and rainy, there are always surprises in life.

For example, a disease that costs money, such as an accident with a broken arm and short leg, or an accident where you have to pay for something.

These things can easily destroy an ordinary family, especially this kind of people who don't have their own land and can only rent it.

Wang Baochang's land rent is still a conscience, as long as [-]%.

But the renters don't only pay [-]% of the grain, they also pay the officials' grain tax, which is another [-]%.

This percentage is often more than [-]%.

At this time, the output of rice itself is not high, and it is not bad to be able to get a full meal after busy work, and more than [-]% of the tax is added.

Most people, that is, live half-starved.

If there is another accident, people may starve to death. If you don't want to starve to death, and you don't want to sell your children and daughters and wives, then you won't be able to hand over the food to the family.

Chief Wang Bao came this time to deal with these matters.

Isn't it time for spring plowing?

Passing by Zhao's house, Wang Baochang thought of his son's marriage with Zhao Yuanxi, so he came over to be a guest.

Zhao Yuanle searched the memory of the original owner and found the memory about this Wang Baochang.

This Wang Baochang said that his ancestors had produced scholars.

In this era, what kind of feudal ideology of family status still exists for the awe of scholars.

Wang Baochang is a man who wants face.

The Zhao family is a well-known family, and Zhao Dacheng is a very well-known person, who looks like a scholar.

And Zhao Dacheng's mother-in-law is Zhao Yuanle's aunt, and her grandfather was a scholar.

As a woman, Mrs. Zhao Yuanle can read and write, and even read some books.

Even with her, he taught his daughter Zhao Yuanxi how to read.

The original owners, Zhao Yuanle and Zhao Yuanlan, were also pressured by this aunt to learn to read.

But the two of them spend most of their time in the fields and mountains, and reading and writing is a novelty, and after the novelty, the two of them refuse to learn more.

It's okay for Zhao Yuanle, the aunt, to see that the two girls can write their own names.

Because Zhao Yuanxi grew up in the county, the environment was different, and his mother taught by her side, so his education level was not bad.

Mr. Wang Baochang's father, Mr. Yuan, was sick and was rescued by Zhao Dacheng's father. Later, Wang Baochang himself fell ill, and Zhao Dacheng cured him.

Wang Baochang saw the right people, and knew that the Zhao family had a good family style, Zhao Dacheng was a very good person, and Zhao Yuanxi was a literate girl.

He took the initiative to talk about the marriage with Zhao Dacheng.

In itself, Zhao Dacheng was not very willing.

Zhao Yuanxi's mother was also very reluctant.

This Wang Baochang's family is rich because they are rich and have power, but how many concubines are there in this Wang Baochang's family.

Oh no, it should be called my aunt now.

It's hard to guarantee that Wang Baochang's son will not follow suit.

Was she wronged by marrying her daughter?
Her grandfather was also a scholar after all, and his family was considered a scholarly family. His daughter grew up well and could read and read. The family was not bad, so why would he marry into this Wang Bao's family.
