Young rich peasants

After August [-]th, it's time to harvest rice. Lei Shounuo and Mei Xiaodie will go to help other people harvest every year and get some rice as a reward.There are more than [-] households in Mazishang Village, and the real land belonging to the villagers is only a few acres. It belongs to Dr. Hua, because he once treated a dignitary in the county, and the other party mentioned a few words to the county magistrate before they allotted the land.

In the south itself, the land is sparsely populated, and the land is not expensive, and you can buy half an acre of land for half a penny.Of course, fertile land will cost more, but the fact that it is "adjacent to Mazi Village" alone is enough to make the price cheaper.However, in Mazishang Village, no one can buy a piece of land, but the villagers have to pay the county magistrate the tax stipulated by the court every year.Now these farmlands used to belong to a certain rich family. Later, the whole family of the rich family disappeared in the disaster, and they became ownerless again and were taken back to the emperor.

I want to say I bought it myself—in the generation of Mazishang Village, some people still had some savings, but the county magistrate would not let you buy it, and the tax went into his pocket, and these fields were still up for sale.

Fortunately, the land of the houses in the village belonged to the former village, and the land deeds were clearly held in the hands, so they were not corrupted by the county magistrate.

Now that several county magistrates have been changed, the handling method is still the same.If no one wanted the land in Mazi Village, the village would have suffered even more. Not only would it have to pay the landlord a tax, but it also had to pay the county magistrate an unwarranted sum of money, as well as other taxes to the court.

Why did the magistrate do this?Who wouldn't want to have money in their pockets? The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It's a disliked village. If you don't take theirs, who else?The most important thing is that there is also a "credit" from a big family for making suggestions.

This big family is the Lei family. During the plague that year, they took the opportunity to stuff all their enemies into this ravine, and they couldn't make people turn over, so they hooked up with the current county magistrate and came up with such an idea.Later, Lei Shounuo and his little father were kicked out, and because of this, they received a lot of stares and criticism from the villagers—fortunately, he acted rightly and sat upright, which gradually changed the views of the villagers.

The golden flower Ada of Lei's family gave money to the county magistrate in private, and was even more mean to Lei Shounuo's family. It's just that the new county magistrate after the county magistrate was transferred was idle and didn't bother to do such little tricks. Lei Shounuo and his little father Only then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lei Shounuo didn't quite know what Lei's family was trying to do before, until Zaozi told the reason why Lei's family gave him a new baby.It turned out that the Lei family wanted these two hills for nothing.

Lei Shounuo sneered at this, the head of the Lei family was dazzled by the golden flower potion, he dared to do such an extreme thing, no matter how far away the emperor was, he couldn't bear the big deal, he would definitely be exposed one day .He wanted to see what happened to the family in the end.

After a few days, the land was harvested.There is very little rice from harvesting, and everyone has their own way of earning a living. The income is small, but it can barely be considered food and clothing, so the rice is taxed, and the rest is considered to help the five internal organs.Moreover, people who always have their feet on the land are destined to bring soil. Everyone hopes that one day in the future, good officials will take office so that they can buy a few acres of land and become people with land and land.

For now, we still have to follow the usual practice.After tidying up everything that needs to be packed, many people in the village started to do other jobs, mainly to help the village, or to go to a farther county to earn a little money incognito.

Lei Shounuo and Uncle Liang were also preparing to leave for the north.For the past few days, Zaozi has followed his father to help Lei Shounuo make thicker cotton-padded clothes and shoes. He heard that it is very cold in the north now.This time, a few people from the village went together, and there were several baskets of dried longan, so it was better to come by myself than to hire someone.

Zaozi heard that this trip will be by boat, and the situation at sea is anyone's guess, unlike the solid land under the feet of the land, if a big wave covers it, maybe the person will be gone, and even the body will not be found.He thought about it a little more, and immediately became more worried.

"Brother Lei, do you have to take a boat?"

"It takes almost a month by boat, and it's too slow to go by land." Lei Shounuo said, "You don't want me to come back early for the New Year?"

Zaozi shook his head like a rattle, "You must come back soon!"

Lei Shounuo looked at Zaozi's braid, it was messed up, so he took Zaozi to the edge of the courtyard and sat down, sat on the stool by himself, untied the cloth strips, and combed Zaozi's hair, "Of course I will be back soon. More than a month, at most three months... I'm not at home, my little dad has to be busy with other things. You're going to learn to tie your own hair, you know?"

Zaozi nodded, accidentally pulled her hair, and let out a soft cry in pain.Lei Shounuo lifted his forehead with his palm, found the painful part, rubbed it, and said with a smile, "Little stupid pig." Zaozi's eyes were half watery, and he was really aggrieved.It was careless, and it wasn't on his intentions. Those who insist on hurting themselves are really stupid.

People here are all tied in a bunch before they are adults. Boys have low ponytails, which are usually tied at the end to prevent it from being messy. Boys have braids, which look good only if they are neatly tied.The jujubes are tied crookedly, and they often hurt themselves.Lei Shounuo couldn't see it anymore, so he learned to help him comb, and it was even better than Zaozi himself.

"I have to lower my head to see..." Zaozi remembered that she was still sewing, so she tilted her head and said, "I'm sewing clothes for you."

Lei Shounuo leaned over and saw that Zaozi was indeed sewing bags for the inner layer of his cotton coat. He put his hands on Zaozi's shoulders and pressed down a little, so that his face was almost touching Zaozi's, "What are you sewing this for?" use?"

Zaozi muttered in his heart that Lei Ge was really important, and explained: "Put the money here so you won't be afraid of losing it." Finally let him use the knowledge of modern people once.No one in this place has such pockets in their clothes.Moreover, he found that he was making rapid progress in needlework.

Lei Shounuo burst out laughing, Zaozi was puzzled, he suppressed a smile and said, "How many copper coins can be contained in such a small bag? If it contains silver taels, then I think it's too harsh."

Zaozi was taken aback for a moment, yes, after a second thought... "Then, isn't there a bank note?"

Lei Shounuo scratched Zaozi's cheek, "Accept your precious words, when you earn money that needs to be exchanged in silver bills, I will definitely ask you to sew this kind of small bag on every piece of clothing. Now... ..."

Zaozi was frustrated, so he inserted the needle back into the small cloth bag and did not move.Lei Shounuo shook him lightly, "Unhappy?"

"No……"

"Children have a temper. I didn't say I don't want this bag. Is this good? You put my amulet in it, huh? Little daddy went to the Earth Temple with you to ask for it."

People who travel far will always wear a talisman on their body, and Zaozi did ask his little dad to ask for it two days ago.In a small earth temple, an old man gave them a talisman, which contained some spices, and it smelled a bit pungent, but after putting it in the clothes for a while, the smell would be much more pleasant.

After Lei Shounuo said that, Zaozi had no choice but to continue to pick up the needle, continue to sew the bag, and put the talisman into it.Lei Shounuo sat up straight and combed his long hair again.He likes Zaozi's hair, it's not very black, but light brown, it looks soft, thin and smooth, very similar to Zaozi's personality.

The braids were tied and the clothes sewn.Lei Shounuo put on his upper body, and specially patted the position of the talisman, right on his heart, "It must be safe now."

Well, Zaozi thinks so too.

Lei Shounuo went back into his little dad's room, and calculated the family's savings. This time, going by boat would cost a lot of money, so he had to calculate carefully.When you stay there, you have to stay and eat, and the big county towns cost a lot of money for these things.Lei Shounuo didn't think about taking too much money from the family.He can do something to make money when he gets there, be a good boy, what are you afraid of.

Explained everything, he and a few people who went out together had a meal at Hua's house, which was paid for by the villagers. After all, it was regarded as helping the village find a way out, and a meal was still needed.It can be regarded as a wish in it, I hope these people are safe when they go out, remember the people at home, and come back soon.

The next day they finally set off.Lei Shounuo was the shortest among them—he was still a 15-year-old boy with a large basket of dried longan on his back, but he was at the front of the line.Zaozi followed Xiaopa and stood at the entrance of the village with everyone, watching the group of people go farther and farther, and finally became a few shadows blending into the vegetation.
