Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 530 Taoyuan World
Since it is decided to become a country of paradise, the country must have the appearance and rules of a country.

Many more articles have been added to the Taoyuan Law Code that has been issued before, and the tax law has also been introduced.Compared with Donghao and Dai Viet's ten taxes, four or even five, there is only a little [-]% here, and it is only for jewelry, drinks and other high-priced goods, such as small and small commodities, only [-]%, which has attracted countless small traders. Come to the supreme weapon of the island.

Now since Ding Wei brought people to the island for the first time, it has only been more than half a year, and the number has increased by more than ten times. [-]% of the population are soldiers and domestic servants, [-]% are craftsmen with long-term contracts, and [-]% are short-term employees. [-]% of the migrant population is small traders, and of course there are hundreds of natives, but compared to the huge foreign population, it can be ignored.

As for the surrounding area of ​​the stone castle, which was built within a few months, because of the increase in population, a large circle of stone houses was built.They all face inward and back outward, and there are square holes in the stone wall, which are ventilated on weekdays. In case of enemy attack, they are the best arrow stacks.

The open space between the stone house and the stone castle is the small courtyard of each family, leaving a small path in the middle enough for three cars to pass.

Looking from the stone fort, the washed clothes are drying in the courtyards of the various houses outside the stone house. Of course, the dustpan is the most common. In the dustpan, there are various dried fish and shrimps. These can be sold to the workshop. Yes, the smaller ones are ground up to make seafood sauce, and the larger ones are packed in boxes and sent back to the inland Fucheng County for sale.I heard that some people in the inland area no longer buy fine salt. They only buy these cheap and affordable dried fish. When stewing, chop a piece and throw it in. Not only does the dish have a fishy taste, but the salty taste is also just right.

When retreating in the evening, children rushed to the beach in groups to pull seaweed or catch crabs.

Crabs are made into crab sauce and eaten at home. Dried sea vegetables can also be sold for a few cents. Of course, occasionally the old lady at home eats half a bowl, because the wife of the owner said that eating this thing will not make your neck thick. .

After dinner, the sound of books inside and outside the stone castle was loud, causing the waves to soften their voices.

The original reading class can no longer satisfy the desire of all children and craftsmen to read.

Danggui and all the literate people in the soldiers were picked out to be gentlemen. They just taught a simple common word and calculated some simple accounts. up.

The old craftsmen who had been busy all day sat on the rattan chairs at the door, shaking and smoking a bag of dry cigarettes, and the old lady was nagging in their ears, whether they should move the Da'er family from Quanzhou here for the New Year.The youngest daughter-in-law is washing the dishes, and the youngest son has taken his six-year-old grandson to study.

The old craftsman couldn't help sighing in satisfaction, fearing that moving to the island to work and live was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

"When I got off work, the manager above said that the wife of the boss sympathizes with the hard work of us old fellows, and we should give two taels more rewards."

"Really?" the old woman asked in delight, and finally bowed to the stone castle again and again. "No wonder those refugees who fled from Da Viet called Madam Bodhisattva. Madam is truly a Bodhisattva."

The youngest daughter-in-law heard the news and came over to inquire, and she was also very happy when she heard about it, thinking that if the New Year's goods sent back to her natal family in two days were filled with a piece of material, the mother-in-law would not object.

Now there is a cloth shop on the island. Except for the materials distributed by the main family in four seasons, if you still need one, you can choose a piece, and the price is very reasonable.Of course, the merchants are all black-hearted, and they can't wait to sell the cotton cloth as silk, but I heard that there is a clause in the newly posted tax law that if they dare to raise the price unscrupulously, the merchants will be kicked out of Taoyuan Island, so everyone is very relieved.

This craftsman's home is just a small microcosm.There are hundreds of yards like this, and each family lives a very prosperous life.

On top of the stone castle, Ding Wei held a bowl of Bingbao, chomping on it while looking at the small world below.

Sometimes when she looks at the past from such a distance, she feels a little overlooking all living beings, proud and at a loss.

Originally, she just wanted to be an ordinary woman, with a husband and children, a land and a yard, and a peaceful life.

Unexpectedly, fate probably threw her into this strange time and space, so she didn't intend to make her an ordinary person.

Stumble along the way, eat hard all the way, of course also get a lot, family, relatives, friends...

Now she is building her ideal world with her own hands, taking shape bit by bit like a bird building a nest.At such a moment, she desperately hopes that someone will share it, even if it is just to hug her and say, "Well done!"

It's a pity that that person is thousands of miles away. I don't know if he eats well and sleeps well. Does he ever think of her like this?
She is building her world, a world of peace, harmony and abundance.

Why isn't he building his world, glorying, ruling the world...

"Ma'am, why did you steal the ice bowl again?"

Ding Wei was lost in thought, when suddenly she heard the angelica rushing in, she quickly cleared up the melancholy in her eyes, turned her head and smiled awkwardly, "I only ate half a bowl, and I went to the glass kiln today, it's too hot."

Dang Gui took the empty glass bowl with disapproval, and said angrily, "Old Master Wei said, you got sick on the way to the south, you can't be greedy for cold, otherwise you will suffer when you get old."

"Oh, I'm at least 80 or [-] years old. I'm only in my twenties now. What are you afraid of? There are still a few decades left. Just eat a bowl, it's fine."

Ding Wei simply cheated, and quickly changed the topic, "The literacy get out of class is over? Where are the children, are they all asleep?"

Dang Gui knew that his master was avoiding mistakes, but he could only respond, "They are all asleep. Lady Bai and Sister-in-law Zhao are guarding the young lady and the second young master, and the eldest young master has Sister-in-law Cheng. Both young master Bao and Miss Fu are guarded by the second Uncle Madam took it back to sleep."

"That's good," Ding Wei nodded, and after thinking about it, she said, "Let's invite my second uncle to talk for a while, serve her an ice bowl, and I'll have a cup of jujube tea, isn't that all right?"

There are still masters in the world who discuss with maids to please, and I'm afraid this is the only one in front of me.

Dang Gui was both funny and proud when he heard it, but his mouth was still merciless.

"Second uncle and wife come to sunflower water these days, so don't be greedy for the coolness, just a pot of jujube tea will be fine."

Ding Wei rolled her eyes, "Okay, Detective Dang Gui, congratulations for you decisively exposed my conspiracy to steal food."

Even though Dang Gui didn't know what a "detective" was, she laughed wildly and went downstairs briskly to invite Mrs. Dong.

Mrs. Dong had just put a few children to sleep, and when she heard that she was coming home, she told Yu'er's nanny, and then went up to the top floor.

The two aunts and sisters-in-law smiled and lay on the stone wall. The stone was exposed to the sun for a whole day, and it was still warm at the moment. It was very comfortable to lie on, and the cool sea breeze was blowing, which made it very comfortable.

Dong couldn't help sighing, and said with emotion, "I never thought that I would have such a good time in my life, blowing the sea breeze, watching the night scene, drinking tea, although far away from home, but my heart is very peaceful .It’s all thanks to my sister, otherwise I would still be sitting in the farm and watching the sky.”

"Sister-in-law don't blame me for causing you to leave your hometown."

As Ding Wei spoke, thinking of her parents and elder brother who passed away early, her expression darkened, and she suddenly felt sad, "If my parents are still alive, I'm afraid they will also like this place."

"Sister, don't think too much," Dong hurriedly persuaded, "Father and mother only hope that you will have a good life. If you know that sister has built this Taoyuan Island independently, I'm afraid you will be extremely proud."

Ding Wei held back her tears, took a big sip of jujube tea, barely suppressed her sadness, and said with a smile, "In the future, if I have a chance, my sister-in-law will take my parents and younger siblings to live for a while. Dabao mentioned that when I borrowed money earlier, my uncles and aunts stayed with us for a while. They're great."

"Every family should be. My mother looks smart and powerful, but she is actually the softest-hearted. When she was young, she also wanted to go out of the capital. Unfortunately, how could the family allow it? If she is invited by a girl she knows, I'm afraid she will really be tempted. .”

When Dong talked about his old mother, the corners of his mouth also curled up.

Ding Wei thought for a while, but she didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Sister-in-law, your natal third uncle's family also has a sister?"

"Yes," Mrs. Dong was curious and confused, "what's the matter, sister, why do you ask this?"

"The capital sent a letter. Some things involve my sister-in-law's cousin. I just want to ask what kind of tempered girl she is."

Although Ding Wei didn't make it clear, she didn't hide it either.

Mrs. Dong saw how gloomy her sister's face was, and guessed that it was not a bad thing, so she said, "I am the oldest in the clan, the fourth uncle's family has a second cousin, and the third uncle's family has a third cousin. The second cousin is sick, and she seldom met since she was a child, but the third cousin gets along very well. The third cousin is mean and doesn't practice morals, but the third cousin is rarely a good one. Recognizes relatives, and has a good temper Well, it's like playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and not good at female celebrities. If there is something that is good at, it is... um, eating."

Speaking of his cousin's hobby, Mrs. Dong couldn't help laughing.

"My third younger sister's only hobby is eating, but she is a bit plump. My third aunt took good care of her, so she became more interested in eating. Every time she came to the house, I would give her Get some delicious food, according to her, Third Auntie is planning to raise her as a rabbit."

Ding Wei also laughed, and seemed to see a chubby little girl drooling pitifully at a pot of braised pork, so she replied, "Why do you sound like Qixi?"

"That said, it's quite similar." Mrs. Dong nodded, "However, Mrs. Fang can swing a whip, but my sister dreams of eating delicious food all over the world."

After all, she finally asked, "Sister, did something happen again in the capital? My third younger sister won't cause trouble, right? Last time my mother wrote to say that the third aunt sent the third younger sister to the palace..."

The more she talked, the more worried she became, "Could it be that the third younger sister was caught stealing food in the palace, or did she set fire to barbecue and burn down the palace?"

Ding Wei was amused by her sister-in-law, and quickly waved her hands, "How could sister-in-law think of this, no."

"Ah, that's good." Mrs. Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said with a smile, "These things are all caused by my sister when she was at home."
