Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 761
Little York is a child of a typical old-age peasant family. Hunger and labor were the eternal themes during his growth.

After the father was beaten to death by the master, the pillars of the family collapsed all of a sudden.

It was a desperate time.

Losing the main labor force of the family, the family's production capacity has dropped significantly, but the land tax of the gentlemen has not been reduced at all. Mother Monia works from dawn to dusk every day, and with the continuation of the family, she can barely support her. For half a year, until the food ran out.

The difficulties at home made Little York understand a lot at a young age.

During that desperate time, Little York not only did his best to help his mother with the farm work, but also went out to mow grass in his spare time while pulling with his younger siblings, just to exchange a handful of peas with the livestock officer. , to supplement family income.

If the Blue Dragon Kingdom hadn't called, the Little York family might not survive that winter.

It was the Blue Dragon Kingdom who rescued their family from the abyss of despair, and it was the respected village chief who gave them the hope of living in despair.

Till now, Little York is grateful from the bottom of his heart to the mayor of the village and to the great His Royal Highness Austin.

He will always remember the scene when he couldn't bear the hunger that day, ran to the old man's castle, and took the black bread from the village chief.

From that moment on,
The past and future life have drawn a very clear dividing line.

In the past days, there was always not enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes. I was busy every day, but I could barely get some beans to make ends meet. I also had to bear the extremely expensive taxes of the lords, and I was struggling on the verge of starvation.

right now,

As long as one is diligent and diligent, not to mention the black bread that could only be expected at the Harvest Festival in the past, even the white bread, cheese, etc. that only noble gentlemen were eligible to enjoy in the past, can be eaten occasionally.

In the Blue Dragon Kingdom, with the rapid development of the commodity economy and the substantial increase in productivity, even the people in the newly occupied areas have obtained the same development convenience.

What's more, after getting rid of the oppression of the old nobles, the land tax has dropped to an unprecedented [-]%. As long as you work a little harder, you can basically maintain food and clothing from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and spend extravagantly buying some white flour and cheese in small towns , making a sumptuous dinner that only noble gentlemen were eligible to enjoy in the past.

In the past few years, under the background of the rural development policy of the Southern Dragon Kingdom, the Little York family has also enjoyed the convenience of the fast lane of economic development in the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

I still remember the first time I enjoyed the delicacies that nobles are entitled to enjoy,
Not only Little York and his younger siblings, but even Little York's mother, Monia, almost swallowed their tongues.

Oh my god,

In the words of his mother Monia, he has never tasted such delicious food since he was born. It is not a food that can be had in the world, but a delicacy that can only appear in heaven.

His mother, Monia, was the daughter of a poor peasant family.

Soon after growing up, he married his father and had children, started a family, and gave birth to Little York and his younger brothers and sisters. He spent half of his life busy like a spinning top every day, so that the family could barely maintain go down.

Even in the most plentiful years, the most delicious food is dark brown bread.

Seeing his mother's first time enjoying the delicacies that used to only exist on noble tables, and seeing his mother's rough hands full of calluses, Little York swore that he must let his mother live a good life in the future.

It is precisely because of this,
Taking advantage of coming to the city to study middle school and summer vacation, Little York did not go back to the countryside, but stayed in the city to do odd jobs. By chance, he came to Smith's house to do odd jobs for a period of time.

Although middle school tuition and miscellaneous fees are free, little York's grades allowed him to get a scholarship, and basic life is not a problem.

But at home, in order to let his mother and younger brothers and sisters live a better life, York basically studies hard while doing odd jobs outside in his spare time. Most of the pocket money he earns is sent home to make up for the consumption at home. cost.

Although these years, with the rapid economic growth of the Blue Dragon Kingdom and the success of rural policy reforms, the living standards of the Little York family are much higher than before.

But people always yearn for a better life.

I am used to eating black bread every day, and occasionally eating white bread and cheese, and no one wants to go back to eating beans and other foods that are not as good as livestock.

Not long ago, an interesting story was reported in the newspaper.

A certain place rebelled against the old nobles and nested in the mountains for several years. Taking advantage of these years, the Blue Dragon Kingdom has gradually eliminated most of the old feudal remnants and relaxed its hunting forces. The rebellious war in the dragon kingdom.

As a result, as soon as he returned that day, he was caught by a group of farmers with dung forks and escorted to the township office.

Just as the final conclusion of the newspaper said: After these years of good times, a fool will go back to the life of gnawing on half-baked beans and not even being able to fill his stomach.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

The hearts of the people in the entire Blue Dragon Kingdom, especially the peasants at the bottom, are firmly inclined to the great His Royal Highness Austin.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

No one wants to go back to the days when they were exploited and oppressed by the old noble lords a few years ago.

but,

Life is getting better and better, which can be regarded as a disadvantage.

The days are indeed getting better, but the instinct and nature of intelligent life is to move towards a better life.

before,

Little York's greatest wish is to be able to eat black bread.

Now, the Little York family, who eat black bread every day, are tired of the taste of black bread, and want to eat the delicious white bread and cheese every meal.

Although the land tax in the Blue Dragon Kingdom is only [-]%, with the economic development, the income level of the peasant class is more than ten times higher than before.

but,

If you want to live a better life, you need to spend more.

For example, the three major items recognized by low-level farmers such as sewing machines, televisions, and motorcycles, white bread and cheese that they want to eat every meal, canned beef produced by canning factories, and so on.

Life is better than before, but the daily work is more complicated than before.

Because only if you work harder, can you live a better life. Human desires are endless. If you get better, you want better.

Compared with other families, the York family is still on the poverty line.

This is also one of the reasons why Little York does odd jobs to make money to support his family.

　Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

　　The updates in the past few days are really hard to describe. I don't have the face to read the comment area, but don't worry, I just don't know how to be a eunuch.
