Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 154
Grandpa was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. Some time ago, the county magistrate counted the poor households and said it was to distribute food and clothes.Although it has been reported, it is still a question mark when the materials will be distributed.

At this moment, someone shouted at the gate of the yard: "Is it Sun Er's family?"

The old man patted the dust off his body, got up and came to the gate of the yard. He saw that there were five or six people riding a tall horse, followed by a few mules. The old grandson didn't remember that he had such a rich relative.

"It's me, who are you?"

Chai Lin said: "I am Chai Lin, the training envoy of the Cangzhou Regiment. I lead the villagers to bring warmth to the needy people. I have a quilt and a leather jacket from your family."

Chailin put a leather jacket on the old man. The old grandson was very happy and said, "That's great. The green goat skin jacket is big and long. It can be used to make clothes during the day and a quilt at night."

"That's for sure. Chaijiazhuang Commercial Bank bought it from Dongping Mansion. The same sheepskin coat can be used for more than ten years. Come on, kid, don't hide behind your grandfather, come out, take this linen quilt, in a few days I will also send a hundred catties of sorghum rice to your family." Chai Lin said and gave the child the linen quilt.

The child said, "Thank you."

The old grandson said: "Thank you, Mr. Chai. It is enough to keep warm with these. You don't need any sorghum. There are some cabbage and radishes at home, and some millet. It will be fine when there are wild vegetables in the spring."

Chailin comforted the old man and said: "You can take it with peace of mind. Everyone has a time when they are young and a time when they are old. Relief is not for the poor. Now your family is in trouble and you are helping you. When the child grows up and can work, you can do it It's up to you."

Old man Sun said: "I'm not old, I'm only 63, and I can work for another ten years, but I don't have any land at home."

Chai Lin was speechless, he had no land, and Chai Lin could not solve this problem.

The old grandson thanked him repeatedly, and watched Chailin and the others leave before entering the house.

The old grandson said: "That's great. Grandpa will wear a big sheepskin jacket tomorrow to find more branches and dry grass, so that we will not be cold and can spend the winter with peace of mind. Our grandparents and grandchildren did not freeze to death in this winter. We must Thank you Master Chai."

"Okay, grandpa, I will serve as a soldier when I grow up, and serve Master Chai." The child said.

The local security leader of the village went to the second family, which was quite dilapidated.The window paper is ventilated, and there is no smoke in the room, which means that there is no fire.

A little girl of thirteen or fourteen was standing at the door in a dirty state.

Dibao said: "The situation of this family is even worse. Both parents of the little girl died, and she lives with her grandmother, who is not in good health. Just point to this child to live. Spring, summer and autumn are better, and there are wild fruits and vegetables. Folks We also help our neighbors on weekdays, but everyone’s life is not well-off.”

Chai Lin nodded, expressing his understanding. Each family has its own difficulties, and each family lives its own life, and the help is always limited.

The little girl ran into the house in fright when she saw the stranger coming, and an old lady with a cane came out, with white hair all over her head.

He is only in his 60s, so mature, obviously he has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the world.

The old lady said: "Gentlemen, my family's imperial food has already paid a bag of jujubes in autumn."

Chai Lin said: "Grandma, don't be afraid, we are Cangzhou Tuanlian, and we are here to deliver winter clothes to your family, not to collect taxes."

Chai Lin handed the big leather padded jacket to the little girl and said, "Put it on for your grandma. This jacket is big. It can be worn during the day and used as a quilt at night. And this quilt can also keep out the cold."

The little girl was too timid to pick it up, and the dibao said, "Just take it, it's donated by the owner of Chaijiazhuang Chaizhuang, to help the poor people survive the cold winter."

The old woman threw away her crutches, knelt down on the ground, and said: "After paying decades of royal rations, I finally got the money back. Thank you, Mr. Chai."

Chai Lin said: "Grandma, you have to wait for the return money. These quilts are from my own pocket in Chaijiazhuang, and the government is poor, so you have to understand."

Difficulties are always strange, except for a few lazy ones, most of them are caused by various accidents, diseases, old age, and wars.Some people become numb after watching too much, but not Chai Lin. The more he reads, the hotter his heart becomes.

Chai Linfa ran for a whole day, running more than 60 miles, and delivered winter clothes to more than 100 needy households.The rest will be handed over to the local soldiers in the pro-barracks. As for Shi Wenbing's subordinates, they are all old fritters, too slippery, I can't believe it.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and all the projects in Chaijiazhuang have almost stopped. The craftsmen hired nearby will get paid and go home after finishing their work, preparing for the feline winter.

Most of the workshops in Chaijiazhuang have entered the indoor operation, and even if they cannot enter the indoor space, they have added sheds and burned fireplaces to keep warm.

The team leaders are busy distributing the welfare of the village. Each household has a pair of ducks. These are ducks pulled from Dongping Mansion. They are all ducks from the spring of that year.Originally, Chai Lin planned to fulfill his promise to let every family have a chicken in the pot during the Chinese New Year, but it is a pity that so many chickens cannot be purchased locally from Cangzhou Prefecture, and they are scattered by each family. , He simply bought [-] ducks from Dongping Mansion as a reward and distributed them to the village.Throughout late autumn and early winter, the people in the village were not idle. Building roads, bridges, and reservoirs should be rewarded.

In addition, each household has two catties of kelp and five catties of dried shrimps.Moreover, in all the workshops in Chaijiazhuang, Chaijiazhuang people are given priority in recruiting workers, and they immediately become the wealthiest village among all the nearby villages.

Girls aged [-] or [-] in the village are not busy getting married, but work in a factory. It is easy for them to get three or four hundred cash a month. Many daughters who are inactive do not marry, but recruit sons-in-law, so that they can receive maternity subsidies , the son-in-law can also find a job in the village, and the children can go to school for free when they grow up.Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The villagers of Chaijiazhuang have to participate in voluntary labor for about a month every year, and at the same time they have to participate in military training occasionally.

The footsteps of the new year are approaching, and it will be late November in a blink of an eye.

In the meeting room of the Chai family, the fire was burning brightly in the fireplace, and the whole room was quite warm.

Chai Lin sat in the middle, Chai Gang was next to him, and fifteen team leaders sat on both sides. Everyone had a meeting, and everyone knew each other, and they were not too formal.

Chai Lin said: "It's too cold, let's not hold the meeting, everyone, go back and convey it. The farmers in our village count as one household, and those who want to raise horses only need to pay two taels of silver, and they can receive high-quality horses. A subsidy of [-] catties of salt per year for one iron-shoeed mare. You can raise it for yourself, pull it, plow the land, and ride it. You only need to pay three one-year-old foals, and the horse will be fully paid. He is gone, and the regenerated pony will belong to me in the future."

As soon as Chailin said these words, he immediately boiled.

Horses, prairie horses are short, but they are still horses. They have great strength, can run fast, can plow land, can pull carts, and they are decent when they are ridden out.

"Okay, that's great. Pulling carts to plow the land is of great help to farmers." The group leader said.

The leader of the third group said: "Do the iron-shoe horses eat a lot of food? If they eat too much food, it may be a burden to the farmers. I also heard that grassland horses have strong temper, so how to control them?"

The leader of the seventh group asked: "According to the owner's intention, the mares are taken. Is there any requirement in the village when it comes to breeding? Should we continue to breed horses or breed mules?"

Chai Lin said: "Everyone be quiet, Chai Gang, please explain to everyone in detail."

Chai Gang said: "Our village distributes female horses and female donkeys. The principle is that those with strong labor force adopt horses, and those without strong labor force adopt donkeys. Everyone knows that mules are good, but mules cannot breed offspring, so the first two litters must be purebred. Breeding, mules can be bred from the third litter. Iron-hoofed horses are a kind of grassland horses. As long as there is enough grass, the grain is used very little, and it can be about one catty a day. As for wildness, don’t worry too much. They are domesticated horses, and the mare has a better personality. Each horse is subsidized with [-] catties of salt a year. Each village is equipped with a veterinarian, and breeding and delivery are free."

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, and some just come here.
