Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Mrs. Wang, Zhang Qiang still had memories. In a blink of an eye, he looked at old man Ding.

Old man Ding was not affected by Wang's miserable expression.

He was already numb to the embarrassment, and now he might be too thick-skinned, but he didn't feel any embarrassment at all!

"This is the daughter-in-law of the third child in my family, who also happens to be the granddaughter of the old lady. At that time, thinking about the difficulties of the family, I asked some women in the family to go back to help."

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Wang's already high arrogance became more and more intense, and she walked towards Mrs. Wang in small steps.

Wang kept watching her, and when the old lady moved, she started running.

"Master Zhang, please help me. I am the daughter-in-law of the Ding family. Even if I am a cow or a horse, I should also work in the Ding family. It is not that there are no people in the Wang family. There is no shortage of everyone in the family..."

"You short-lived ghost, how dare you curse me!" Old Mrs. Wang's eyes were tearing apart.

Seeing Mrs. Wang being caught by Mrs. Dajiang, the old lady's skinny but unambiguous fist was about to fall, Zhang Qiang said in a deep voice: "What kind of dignity?"

Mrs. Wang, who was just so close to hitting Wang, shuddered, and Wang, who was almost beaten again, let out a sigh of relief.

"Master Zhang, you have also seen that you treat me like this in their family, let alone when you are away, Master Zhang, please let me go home, if I don't go home, I will be punished." They are so torn to death, such a big family, let me wash the clothes of such a big family, I will be beaten if I go home late, and I will be beaten if I cook late. Master Zhang, I am a married woman, so I don’t say yes when I go back to my mother’s house Eat well and be treated well, at least you can't beat and scold at will, they don't treat me as a human being, they want to kill me!"

Up to now, Wang still can't figure it out.

Ding Xuewei has lost sight of it.

As for Zhang Qiang, who was regarded as a life-saving straw by Wang, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to old man Ding.

"It's hard for an upright official to decide on family affairs. This is a family issue for you, and it's not good for me to participate."

Wang, who thought she could go home, was stunned and at a loss.

I thought I would hear something I didn't want to hear, but in the end, I didn't. The Wang family was pleasantly surprised.

But at this moment, old man Ding spoke.

"My in-law's grandma is ruddy and full of energy now, and my in-law's father is also in good spirits. I guess there is no need for my daughter-in-law to take care of her." Under Wang's incredulous eyes, he said again: "Your mother's family is very active." Yes, I don't need you anymore, so you can go home and take care of the children."

"My eldest nephew..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Wang was dismissed by Old Man Ding's cold gaze.

Old man Ding looked away and paired up with the old village chief.

The old village chief immediately stretched out his hand: "Two messengers, please."

Family disputes are not handled by officials, but they take care of them. Today, old man Fan Ding is showing a headache, so he can't even think about the property of Xiaojiu Li's family.

Old man Ding was confident, so they naturally didn't need to worry about it.

"I won't go inside the house. Our brothers are here on business today." Looking around everyone, Zhang Qiang asked the village chief again: "Is everyone in the village here?"

The village chief knew about the corvee collection in the mansion early in the morning, and when he said that, he knew it immediately.

He nodded quickly: "The population is already here, and our village has a small population."

"Master?" Old Mrs. Wang stepped forward very blindly.

Li Xiaojiu has made it clear that her family is not there yet.

Zhang Qiang wanted to speak, but Mrs. Wang came to block him, and he was disgusted all of a sudden.

As soon as her sharp eyes stared, the old lady immediately became sluggish.

Withdrawing his eyes, he raised his voice to output the meaning: "The Jiuqu River floods every year, and the dams break every year. Last year, it caused such a large-scale disaster..."

After investigations and explorations by officials at all levels, the riverside dams are no longer suitable for repairs. In order to prevent the people in the mansion from suffering disasters this year, new channels must be built before the summer flood season arrives.The emperor was grateful for the misery of the people in Fengcheng Mansion, and decided to reduce the poll tax for all the people who participated in the corvee for the past two years. Zhang Qiang beeped a cup of tea without breathing.

At the beginning, everyone was very excited, but it sounded wrong.

In the past, corvée had one family when it was light, and had to keep a young man to continue the incense in the hard year.

This year, all the strong men from [-] to [-] are actually required.

What's more, all animals over the age of one year must also participate.

Those who don’t go will not only have to make up for last year’s poll tax, but also pay this year’s tax, and get 20 taels of money to buy it!
"There is no risk factor in digging waterways, so don't worry too much."

Digging waterways is not dangerous, but the main labor force of a family has been expropriated. What about the fields and this year's grain?
"village head!"

The village chief has exhausted all his strength.

"Master Zhang, is there nothing else that can be accommodated?"

"This matter has been done all the way from Ning County. The surrounding area of ​​Fucheng was the last to be notified. Ning County has already started work."

Zhang Qiang didn't explain much, but the meaning was clear.

The old village head gave everyone an apologetic look, and then asked: "Should I register today?"

"Registration today, departure on the fifth day of February." Zhang Qiang pulled the bag cross-body.

The old village chief knew what he meant to complete the regulations as soon as possible, and nodded: "You two are tired all the way, so you will go to the house for a rest. The villagers will inform you immediately after discussing it."

They thought quickly, and they had to give the villagers a chance to discuss it.

This time, the two went to the main room smoothly.
-
"What should I do? This is simply killing people!"
-
"I thought this year would be easier, but I don't want to wait here!"
-
"The children and their father have left, and the animals have gone with them. How can I grow my land!"
-
"Ouch, I have a headache, it's going to explode!"

"Father, why don't we buy diced?" Aunt Bai said in pain.

There are only four of them in their family, two husband and wife and two children. The eldest Bai Xiang is only fourteen, and the youngest Bai He is only ten years old.

They are the couple who pay the tax. The head of the couple for two years is 12 taels, plus the 32 taels for buying a small meal, they get [-] ​​taels.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Uncle Bai refused without thinking.

"With these thirty taels, this year's grain can be harvested. If you leave, what will happen to our field? How can I manage it by myself? Don't talk about planting rice seedlings, even if they are planted and taken care of. difficulty."

"Let's not talk about it yet." Uncle Bai's heart was heavy.

Aunt Bai wanted to say something more, but Uncle Bai raised his hand to stop her: "Listen to what the village head and Elder Ding have to say first."

Ding's family, there are quite a few people selected this time, the men, except for Ding Lao Wu who is under the age, even Ding old man is impressively listed.

Even old man Ding doesn't know how to carry a shoulder pole, so it's naturally impossible to do coolies.

He didn't do it to the Ding family, but wanted to know how the Ding family, who couldn't find labor nearby to farm, would respond.

After turning his mind around for a few times, the old village chief's eyes finally fell on old man Ding.
