Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 580 Harvest
Zheng Ying took the risk of revealing the news to him, so after Gu Jinan read the letter, he set it on fire.
After listening to Gu Jinan's words, Gu Jinli asked, "Brother, are you still taking the achievement exam?"
Gu Jinan smiled: "Of course there is a test. It is the same whether you are effective or not, but fame is a good thing, and it will be very beneficial for our family.” .”
With fame, he could better protect his family.
Gu Jinli also laughed: "Sister is a wise person, so I'm relieved."
And the rest of the family didn't go to the funeral, and they had money at home, so they just paid it with money.
The next day, their family found Village Chief He and gave them the money to replace the corvee.
Madam Chen was still very distressed, and cursed: "Ten taels of silver are twice as expensive as previous years. You are so inhumane. Are you going to make us die?
" “Is the family short of these ten taels of silver now?”
If you say something like that, you don't want to live anymore, do you?
Chen Shi stuck out his neck and said: "It's gone, the family has to build a house, why is there no shortage?"
Gu Dagui choked, there was absolutely nothing he could do with this cruel woman.
Old Yan's heart was also very distressed, but fortunately, relying on Xiaoyu at home, life was easier, and the family could live without these ten taels of silver. She knew that the work of rods was difficult, when she was in her hometown, almost every household died from the work of rods.
But others are not so lucky.
The village had been gloomy for a few days, except for those who worked in Gu Jinli's workshop, as well as the families of the village chiefs, He Dasu's family, He Wanli's family, He Laosan's family, He Wazi's family, and his family, and some other rich people - do family people use silver to pay corvee, and other families choose to serve in corvee.
The third grandmother thought the people in the village would come to borrow money from their families, and wondered whether to borrow money, but no one came.
The third grandfather said: "Ten taels of silver per person is very expensive. Even if you can borrow it, it will be difficult to pay it back. Instead of carrying such a large debt, you should go to the corvee. " He's Daqian and He
Both of these shabby households wanted to borrow money, but they were suppressed by the village chief He, and they could not even enter the village.
The day before departure, many people in the village cooked meat dishes for the men who would serve corvee.
The government was afraid that civilian husbands would flee the army, so they sent yamen guards to the village one day earlier to guard them, if anyone escaped from the army, they would be immediately arrested.
Dafeng Village was better, no yamen maids entered the village, just because Qin Sanlang came back. He was the head of the district army and the small banner that escorted the farmers, he returned to the village to say goodbye to his family, and he would escort the farmers from Dafeng Village to the district tomorrow.
Knowing that he had returned, Gu Jinli specially made him a large bag of dried meat and fried fish and sent it to him.
Qin Sanlang accepted it, and gave him two more taels of silver.
Gu Jinli looked at the two taels of silver, frowned and said, "Are you going to pay? But it's not enough. "Despite the cost
to buy meat is not two taels, but he does it himself, and his labor is expensive!
Gu Jinli was a little angry, the boy dared to count money with him, and he did not give him food because he was greedy for his money.
Qin Sanlang explained: "It's not money to buy jerky, it's my salary ... I've saved all the money from the past, and there's only so much I have, so I'll keep it for you." Afraid she thought it was too little, she added: "I'll wait until
later I make more money, and I'll give you more money."
Gu Jinli looked at him and asked, "Are you sick? What nonsense are you talking about, can I ask for your money? Keep it to yourself."
His money, what happened to him holding it and keeping it?
Qin Sanlang also felt that his actions just now looked ill, and secretly kept his money: "What Xiaoyu said was that I would save the money first, and that I would keep the money first, and use it to buy you fresh food when I get to the Linhe Mansion."
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, just buy something cheap. Linhe Mansion was the capital of Jianghuai, and the items were expensive. "
He said a few words to Qin Sanlang and went home. Qin Sanlang sent him away as usual, saw him enter The door turned and went home.
Before dawn the next day, Qin Sanlang brought the servants in the village and went to the local government office to gather, she went to Linhe's mansion with her husband.
Qin Sanlang and the district army did not have to stay long in the Linhe House, they were able to return when they sent them, while Squad Leader Yang and the others had to stay in the Linhe House to watch over the peasants until the end of the corvee .
As soon as the people in the corvee left, every household in the county started burning incense, praying that God bless their man and son to return safely.
The county magistrate was relieved when he saw that the civil husband was sent out smoothly, he was really afraid that people would refuse to serve in the corvee due to the sale of the corvee people by Zou Xiancheng, who was the only one who had been sent, and then something will happen.
When the corvee work is done, it's time to harvest the rice. Those who have rice fields at home start preparing agricultural tools and wait to go to the rice fields to harvest rice.
Gu Jinli's family had bought a lot of rice fields this year, and his family was also preparing to harvest rice.
Mi Laoweng and his wife came to the house three days before the harvest and said to Gu Jinli: "Rice is ready to be harvested. I hired 30 farmers who did not have rice fields at home. They are all ancient and able to work Money is paid according to the owner It is counted by you, one mu is one hundred and thirty Wen, and three meals are taken care of."
Gu Jinli finds that old man Mi speaks more respectfully this time around, before his old man is short2 and haughty, what is he ?
Old Man Mi did not let Gu Jinli guess how long, and said directly: "We old couple have thought about it. Young master is a good man. Since he's willing to give us a pension, then we can no longer take care of it." She issued a family household registration
, Hand it over to Gu Jinli: "We want to sell ourselves to the Gu family, and we will be the servants of the Gu family in the future, so that we could feel more comfortable when looking at Zhuangzi for the little master's family." Madam Mi was still worried that Gu Jinli did not want them, after all, they were very old, and they were always there. Probably buried in
land, and it is a disadvantage to buy it.
Dashan After speaking with Mrs Cui, she received the Mi Laoweng family household registration: "Someday my father will go to the local government to get your sales contract. " Him
issued six taels of silver to Mi Laoweng and his wife: "This is your second elder's sales money."
Old Man Mi did not refuse, accepted the money, took the boiled pork Cui prepared for them, and returned to Songzi Village.
Three days later, people with rice fields in various villages began to gather on the ground to harvest rice, after which rice was cut down, tied up with straw ropes and brought back to the threshing place in the village for three days. After the rice withers, begin to shed.
In ancient times, there were no threshers, and they were beaten with rake, or taken and pounded. Some people even rub it by hand. It was very difficult, but everyone was very happy. After all, it was a bumper harvest. The most important thing for farmers is food.Any problem or exhausting it for a bite of food, I willingly.
Madam Chen immediately said: "Our family has made a lot of money. Cheap rice paddies to buy. When I bought it, there were still plants growing in the fields. Now I have a season without success. Hey, when millet enters the barn, I have to kill him." A chicken came to thank God, it was his blessing that allowed us to buy rice fields with crops."
