After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 51
There are about forty or fifty households in the village in front of me, and each household has at least one or two children under the age of ten.

Wen Jingyan looked around, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

I might as well set up a medical center here, so that the children in the village can also learn some medical skills.

In this way, he can have frequent contact with the Jiang family, and it will be convenient for him to do things in the future.

These days, no matter how he insinuated, or even directly asked if their family had any ancestral secret medicine, the old man Jiang denied it outright, and even joked that his family's ancestor was an old farmer, so how could there be any secret medicine.

I also secretly observed the expressions and behaviors of the Jiang family. They looked calm, as if they really had no secrets.

If he hadn't witnessed the liquid medicine stained on that strand of hair with his own eyes, and also seen the magical effect of the liquid medicine, he really thought that his junior had misdiagnosed Jiang Erlang's condition.

As for Jiang Sanlang, I have lived here for three days, but I only had a word with him.

It's not that Jiang Sanlang ignores people, but that the young man is too busy and often doesn't see people all day long.

Seeing that there could be no further delay here, Wen Jingyan was extremely anxious.

"Hengchuan, how about setting up a medical center here?" Wen Jingyan turned to ask his grandson.

Wen Hengchuan was puzzled: "Why did grandfather set up a medical center here? We are quite far from here, and it is not convenient to come and go."

Wen Jingyan sighed, "Grandfather knows it's inconvenient, but you also know the situation at home, if that one is not good, our family will definitely be implicated.

I thought, it would be better to send one or two of the children here and let them set up roots here, which can be regarded as a backup for the family.There will always be unrest in the capital. "

Wen Hengchuan was silent.

Grandpa was right, once that person couldn't be cured, my family might be in bad luck.

"Everything is arranged by grandfather." Wen Hengchuan said calmly, "It's just that we need to plan carefully to set up a school here."

Not only must one person settle here, but also have a good relationship with the local big family.

I and my grandfather will definitely not teach here, so we can only choose one or two safe children from the family to come here.

Wen Jingyan nodded, "Since we are running a school, we must discuss the rules with the chief of the Chen family, because the Chen family also has ethnology, so we must not conflict with them.

It's better to set up a women's medical center and teach the female dolls here to learn medical skills, maybe let Wen's women's medicine be passed on. "

Although the folk customs in the Daqian Dynasty were open, very few women studied medicine.

Because women's medical science is different from that of men, most of them treat women exclusively, and most of them treat gynecological diseases, including pregnancy and childbirth.

Women from rich and noble families do not learn maternity medicine, because doctors will inevitably see and touch patients' bodies, which will be regarded as unclean and immoral, and it will be very difficult to negotiate marriage in the future.

Those who are willing to learn are all women who have given birth, but such half-way doctors will not achieve much.

Wen Hengchuan smiled: "Indeed, regardless of others, only the child named Yingbao is a talent."

On the second day, Wen Jingyan's grandparents bid farewell and left.

The old man Jiang sent people to the carriage, waved his hands, and sincerely asked them to come again next time, so that he could give some golden ears to his old brother to taste.

At the same time, Jiang Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally gone.

The grandfather and grandson talked to him, and they kept talking about Erlang's recovery, and asked about some folk remedies and family secret medicines, which scared him so much that he avoided the grandfather and grandson these days.

Alas, don't come back next time after you leave.

"Chun Niang, I'm going to build a brick house in Nanshan."

Jiang Sanlang said while eating: "In the past few days, I went to the brick kiln to order bricks and tiles for three rooms. It is estimated that they will be complete after autumn, and then I can hire people to build the house."

"Really?" Chunniang was very happy.

My family has almost a hundred taels of silver, and it takes less than 100 taels to build three brick houses.

If I earn money in the future, I can buy some good wood, invite people to come and build some sets of furniture, build a big yard, and build some bamboo sheds.

"The eldest brother and the second brother are also planning to build together with us. The three brothers will build the same big house and the same big yard." Jiang Sanlang said happily: "I also bought ten acres of land from several villagers, and the bamboo shed will be built in the future. built right there."

"You still bought the land?" Chunniang was surprised: "Then why don't our family get upgraded?"

If the household is promoted, the taxes paid by her family will also increase accordingly.

For example, her family is now a fourth-class household, and the tax payment is much lower than that of Chen Cunzheng's first-class household.

Jiang Sanlang: "If you don't buy land, you will be promoted. As long as we build a house, Sun Lizheng will come to inspect and register next year."

There are many tax items in the imperial court, even how many chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, mules and horses, how many houses, and how many furniture and agricultural tools are registered one by one, and then the taxation levels are divided into first to fifth grades.

The first to third class are upper households, and the tax paid is [-]% more than that of the fourth and fifth class lower households.

Therefore, many farmers don't know how to build houses unless necessary, and they don't even know how to build yards. At most, they use bamboo fences to surround them.

In order to be rated as fourth-class and fifth-class households, many gentry even spent money to manage officials, just to pay less taxes every year.

In this way, the unlucky ones are ordinary people like Jiang Sanlang.

Chun Niang began to worry again. "If this is raised, our tax will go up, what if the golden ear is not accepted there?"

"If we don't accept it, we'll sell it elsewhere." Jiang Sanlang was not afraid at all. "Anyway, it doesn't cost much to grow golden ears. As long as we can sell them, we will make money."

He had never done business before, and was always worried about this and that. Now that he has silver in his hand, he is full of energy, and his back is straight when he walks outside.

Chunniang thought about it carefully, and felt that what her husband said was reasonable, so she was a little relieved.

"Then build the courtyard wall higher, the Nanshan side is secluded, it's not safe after all."

"That's natural."

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if it's built, we won't live there for the time being. We'll move in with our elder brother and second brother in the spring of next year."

The sky is cloudy in summer, and the leaves are moving in autumn.

In a blink of an eye, it is autumn.

After the autumn harvest was over and the winter wheat had just been planted, the three Jiang brothers started building houses in Nanshan, so that the whole village went to help.

For nothing else, just provide the Jiang family with a meal of rice and delicious pork stew for lunch.

For a while, Nanshan was very lively.

Those who built the courtyard wall, those who cut and transported bamboo, those who helped to make fire and cook food, those who picked up stones to lay the foundation, and those who went to further places to dig stone slabs, came and went in an endless stream.

Yingbao stayed at home with her two younger brothers and did not go to Nanshan, but every day she listened to Aniang come back and tell her about the progress of building the house.

Because it was built by three brothers together and built in a row, the scale of the house looks particularly spectacular.

After more than a month, the house in Nanshan was finally completed, and a few days later, the courtyard walls were completed, and the doors and windows were installed.

But people can't live in it yet, because the new house can only be moved in after the moisture has dissipated.

Just at this time, the last batch of golden ears was ripe, and Jiang Sanlang and his wife hurriedly harvested them and started the oven to dry them.

In such a busy schedule, they forgot the first birthday of the two sons.

"Just order a bowl of longevity noodles, what's your birthday, brat."

Jiang Sanlang didn't take it seriously, and said: "Their father never celebrates his birthday."

Chun Niang gave him a reproachful look, but didn't say anything else. She actually went to cook a few bowls of noodles with two poached eggs on top, and the whole family ate it up.
