Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 4
Hu Sanniang is recruiting relatives. Sun Xin got the news from his original owner's memory. When he got the news, Sun Xin started to use his brain.

When Sun Xin watched Water Margin when he was young, he had a deep impression of Hu Sanniang. Hu Sanniang is beautiful and powerful. She is the dream goddess of many Water Margin lovers. Of course, this is not what Sun Xin thought of at this time. In his previous life, he was also a vertical and horizontal Hua Cong's emotional needs for women are just the same. The key is that he also took a fancy to Hu Sanniang's identity.

If he wanted to become a powerful man, he had to rely on him. Although his elder brother Sun Li was under the command of the Dengzhou soldiers and horses, when he went to rob the prison in the Water Margin, one of the ranks in the Dengzhou government prison dared not give Sun Li face. It can be seen that whether Sun Li's status as a superintendent can protect a huge Zhuangzi is really a question mark, but Hu Sanniang's family is different.

According to the records in Water Margin, there are three Zhuangzi on Dulonggang: Hujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang, and Zhujiazhuang. Zhujiazhuang alone has a radius of "three hundred miles", and "there are five to seven hundred families in front of and behind the Zhuangzhuang, all of whom are tenants." And these three villages are "a total of 700 to [-] soldiers and horsemen."

Even if the description of the Water Margin is a bit exaggerated compared with the actual situation, Hujiazhuang must have soldiers, horses, suspension bridges and ditches, and the three villages can join forces to fight Liangshanpo. It is not an exaggeration to say that Hujiazhuang is a small city.

The distance between Dulonggang and Dengzhou is only a day's journey, and the influence of Hujiazhuang can definitely affect Dengzhou City.Hu Taigong has such power, he can definitely become his helper in developing the farm.

After some thought, Sun Xinguo said, "Brother, I want to marry that Hu Sanniang."

Sun Li's eyes widened: "How dare you think, that's Taigong Hu's precious daughter. Do you know how much bride price Hu Taigong gave for that girl? A whole hundred shi of grain!"

"It's not long since I've been a soldier in Dengzhou, and my family has only saved more than a dozen shi. If you want to put two sheep and lead pigs to help you propose marriage, you can still support it, but you want to marry me?" Hujiazhuang's daughter...how can our family endure it?"

When Sun Li said this, Sun Xin did not doubt him.This brother of mine is wholeheartedly devoted to him, and if he has a little extra money, he will definitely use it to help him marry a wife. Since his brother said so, the surplus money of more than a dozen shi is all of Sun Li's property.

Sun Xin knew that a stone of grain could probably be exchanged for one or two taels of silver these days.

The monthly salary of Sun Li, a soldier in Dengzhou, is less than ten taels of silver. He needs to support a family of four and two maidservants. How much money.

For ordinary families, the one hundred shi dowry that Hu Taigong asked for to marry Hu Sanniang was basically equivalent to the savings of a family of five or six people for more than ten years.

"Brother, although we want to get married well, we have to say that we are well-off, right? With our family's conditions, how can we marry the daughter of the Hu family village? If you want me to say it is Miss Gu from the wealthy Gu family, she is from a small family. He knows how to take care of people when he is hot and cold.”

Listening to Sun Li's words, Sun Xin wanted to laugh in his heart, he couldn't help shaking his head, does the description of knowing how to take care of others if you know the cold and hot, be related to Mrs. Gu?That is the master who can break the legs of her husband by pulling up the well fence.

"I just fell in love with Hu Sanniang."

Sun Li listened anxiously and said: "That Hu Sanniang is pretty, but how can she eat? You may not know the meaning of that Hu Tai openly offering a gift of one hundred shi of grain. She wants her daughter to live a good life in the future , marry into the rich man's house, since we can't satisfy him, why bother to make up for it?"

Hu Taigong probably really thought so when he was able to offer such a condition.But later in Water Margin, Hu Sanniang got engaged to Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhujiazhuang in Dulonggang, but her fiancé was a fool, and in the end the whole family was ruined. In the end, only Hu Sanniang was left alive, and this girl was forced by Song Jiang to marry Wang Ying, a lecherous and evil ghost with short legs.

"That's it again, that Hu Sanniang is a young lady who never touches the sun, even if you really marry her into your home, can she live with you as honestly as Big Sister Gu?"

Sun Xin disagreed with this. In Water Margin, Hu Sanniang was married to the short-legged tiger Wang Ying and lived with Wang Ying for a lifetime after gritting her teeth.

Although many people will feel that Hu Sanniang has no fighting spirit when she finally spent her life honestly with Wang Ying, but in the eyes of Sun Xin, who has experienced more than 50 years of ups and downs in her previous life, she knows that fate is often involuntary In the face of the injustice of fate, Hu Sanniang can still grit her teeth and persist in living in the face of the injustice of fate. This alone is better than most people.

Sun Xin listened to his elder brother nagging in front of him for a long time without changing his face, and finally uttered a sentence: "I just like Hu Sanniang."

Sun Li folded his fingers and talked for a long time, only to find that his younger brother had become reclusive today, and finally got annoyed by talking, and slapped the table and said, "It's easy to marry, you go and get a gift of one hundred shi! "

"Okay, if I can come up with a hundred shi of grain this fall, you have to help me propose a marriage!"

Sun Li looked at Sun Xin with a face full of surprise, and saw that his eyes were firm, as if he was not joking, and he laughed in disbelief: "If you can really come up with a hundred shi of grain, brother, don't you want to give up your own face? Miss Hu, tell me back!"

"A gentleman's word!"

"Hurry up and whip!"

"Both brothers, I'm hungry!"

Sun Xin and Sun Li looked at Xie Zhen who was wiping her nose at the door at the same time.

After all, Sun Li's family is an official, and the food is much better than Sun Xin's eating chaffy vegetables every day at Shili Pai.

That night, Sun Xin and Xie Zhen ate a belly ball. When Sun Xin and Xie Zhen got up early the next day, Sun Li had already gone out to order mao, but his sister-in-law Mrs. Le brought a bowl of mutton to the two boys. .

After asking, I found out that before my eldest brother went out in the morning, he specially asked the soldiers at home to go to the market to bring a sheep back. After seeing the slaughter and stewing with his own eyes, he went out to work, and waited for the two of them to eat meat and drink soup after getting up.

Mutton that has not been stewed is fishy and woody, but in this age without oil and water, Sun Xin and Xie Zhen, two young people who are growing up, still enjoy eating it.The two killed half of the sheep in one meal, and in the end they were embarrassed and left half to ask their sister-in-law to clean up and eat together at night.

After dinner, Sun Xin went to the blacksmith's shop to have a look. The structural parts of the pressure well hadn't been finished yet, so he simply continued to stay in Dengzhou City.

In the afternoon, Sun Li came back from the training ground with a bottle of wine, and sat down to discuss martial arts with Sun Xin and Xie Zhen.

In his previous life, Sun Xin himself was a soldier and learned some fighting techniques in the army. Later, in order to entertain the old leaders, he also learned some Tai Chi. His body was still very strong at the age of 50, but it was only in this era that he discovered The accumulation of my previous life is not a little bit worse than the master at this time.

In this life, Sun Xin has a lot of martial arts inheritance from the original owner in his mind. Both the original owner and Sun Li are the apprentices of the famous Hebei hero Zhou Tong, and the juniors of Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong, so they can be regarded as martial arts Quite proficient.

Listening to Sun Li and Xie Zhen talking about guns and sticks enthusiastically, Sun Xin secretly judged the level of martial arts in this era, and soon he had his own judgment: the level of martial arts in this time and space is not as good as that of the legend of the water margin. Mysterious, but compared to the martial arts level in the era of hot weapons in the previous life, it is still a lot higher.

After all, martial arts these days is the real ability to save one's life and life, and it is worth everyone's effort to study it.

Sun Xin felt that the few well-known national martial arts masters and Sanda champions he knew in his previous life should be similar to his current skill, and should be much inferior to his brother Sun Li.And his elder brother Sun Li is not considered a top figure in Water Margin, so it is conceivable to know what level the top martial arts level of this era should be.

(The prices in this book are calculated based on the actual environment of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is different from the Water Margin, otherwise it would be too exaggerated. For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the county magistrate of Xiaoxian only had a monthly salary of fifteen guan, while the Huangnigang in the Water Margin It costs ten guan to carry the wine, and the reward for anyone who catches Ruda from the sea is 5000 guan, and he robbed Zhujiazhuang of 5000 million shi of grain...In the Northern Song Dynasty, the country's annual grain tax was only [-] million shi)
