Seeing the unconcealable doubts on everyone's faces, the eunuch who oversaw the army continued to laugh and said, "Why? Don't you believe what our family said?"

Chen Er, Zhang Ergou and the others waved their hands together and said, "Of course my father-in-law's words will be believed by Caomin and others."

But the eunuch who supervised the army laughed and said: "Okay, don't pretend, I can't believe these four words are engraved on the face, what can't be said directly?"

Ignoring the embarrassing expressions on everyone's faces, the military supervising eunuch went on to say: "In the early years, our family also followed His Majesty to go north to conquer the Hal tribe. Was incorporated into the military eunuch.

Our family still remembers that when we were in the grassland, His Majesty once said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. This is the nonsense made up by those shameless poor in the old Song Dynasty to cover up their incompetence.

His Majesty also said that reading is an opportunity to change one's destiny. As long as a person has the opportunity, he must study hard. The more illiterate he is, the more he should learn to read. "

After finishing speaking, the military supervising eunuch looked at Chen Erdao with a smile again: "Our family just heard that the two boys in your family can write their own names?"

Chen Er smiled awkwardly and said, "If you go back to your father-in-law, the two boys in the family say they can write, but the villain doesn't know if they are right."

The military eunuch smiled and said, "If you can read and write, you can do other things in the future. You don't need to dig around like you. Tell me, does this change your destiny?"

Chen Er immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "It is true, it is true."

The eunuch then smiled and said, "Also, if you don't know how to read, you won't follow your son to learn it? Don't you know whether what they wrote is right or wrong?

Don't think how difficult it is to read and write. As long as you work hard, you can read a few big characters no matter what.Our family was originally illiterate, but now we can still read some simple articles? "

After finishing speaking, the eunuch of the supervising army also became interested, so he simply picked up a small wooden stick from the ground, stroked it casually and said, "Look, isn't this a T-character? The first thing our family learned was this T-character. You can Make a good note of it."

Listening to the heated conversation here, the dead eunuch also started to teach some mud-legged people to write. The talented master next to him suddenly shook his head and snorted coldly: "Mencius said: the trouble of people is to be a teacher."

When the eunuch of the supervising army heard the words, he didn't take it seriously, he just sneered and said: "Zi said, three people must have my teacher!"

When the scholar heard the words, he stopped talking immediately, and after a cold snort, he got up and left.

Because I moved to Luzon and other places, I was extremely upset, because I was not afraid of offending a dead eunuch.

Chen Er and the others looked at the supervising eunuch in bewilderment.

Although I didn't understand the conversation between the talented Lao Tzu and the eunuch of the supervising army just now, both of them are very knowledgeable, unlike people like myself who speak dirty, they are obviously learned people.

Moreover, the military supervising eunuch made the scholar go away with just a few words. It is obvious that the military supervising eunuch is superior in knowledge, which surprised Chen Er and the others.

But the eunuch of the supervising army snorted coldly: "Bah! Poor!"

After scolding, the eunuch of the supervising army explained again: "Just now that poor man borrowed from Mencius and said that a eunuch of our family taught you to write this T-character is an act of overreaching, and our family borrowed from Confucius' saying that everyone has to learn from others. , the poor have nothing to say."

Although the fight between the two was not like that at all, but in order to take care of these people who didn't understand at all, the eunuch could only choose to use the simplest explanation method to explain.

The eunuch of the supervising army saw that everyone suddenly realized that they didn't understand at all, so he didn't care. He just got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and said with a smile: "You guys go on to rest for a while, our house will go to another place. have a look."

After the eunuch of the supervising army left, Chen Ercai asked in a bewildered expression: "Just now, that father-in-law's knowledge is greater than that of the scholar? Didn't you say that the scholar's master is all Wenquxing Taifan?"

Zhang Ergou was also a little confused: "Who knows?"

After a few people rested for a while, the villagers who were compiled into Lizheng hurried over: "Get up quickly, let's go right away, don't waste the time!"

Chen Er, Zhang Ergou and others stopped chatting immediately, got up and gathered with the crowd, and continued to go to Quanzhou.

After the Southern Royal Army slaughtered all the Spaniards in Luzon, they joined forces with Li Zizi and other pirates to deal with the natives on the island.

After all, as officers and soldiers, the Southern Yulin Army still had to worry about face. They couldn't make a big fuss about arresting natives and selling them as laborers. The pirates didn't have such worries.

As for how to divide it among them, who has more and who has less, that is a matter between the Southern Yulin Army and the pirates, and even Zheng Zhilong didn't ask.

After Chen Er, Wang Ergou and others arrived in Luzon, apart from some wild creatures, there was no humanoid animal that could stand and walk.

The Luzon Governor's Mansion, which had already been prepared in advance, naturally allocated places for these relocated common people to live in. They were all the original residences of the barbarians, and many of them were allocated temporary structures built by the guys from the Southern Imperial Forest Army. barracks.

After the work of allocating the residence is over, the settlement money will be distributed, and the land will be allocated to each household. After the messy things such as cattle and furniture arrive, they will be distributed according to the account. There are a lot of them, and it would be a headache for anyone to replace them.

After staying in Luzon bored for several days, Chen Er looked at the large piece of land in front of him and asked, "These lands all belong to villains?"

The yamen servants who were sent to Luzon were obviously not in a good mood, and they snorted coldly after hearing the words: "What are you dreaming about? There are your daughter-in-law and your two sons in these lands. What do you mean it's all yours?

Your son's land can be planted by you until they graduate from social studies.

But no matter whose land it is, you are not allowed to buy it, let alone sell it, remember? "

PS: Returning to Beijing today, there is only one update, and it will be added tomorrow.

Chapter 557 The Flying Snow in May

Don't care whether this land belongs to your son or your wife, anyway, you are planting it yourself, and the food you receive is also your own, only a fool will sell it!

As for the two children in the family who graduated from sociology and gave them the land to grow, Chen Er didn't care much.

After working hard all his life, no matter how much he accumulated, wouldn't it still be for these two children?Could it be possible to take it with you when you die?

After sending away the official yamen servant with great gratitude, Chen Er ran to the land of Zhang Ergou's house not far from his own home, who had also just sent the yamen servant away.

Smiling and rubbing the mud on his hands, Chen Er laughed and said, "Er Gouzi, how much land did your family get?"

After some calculations in his mind, Zhang Ergou said to Chen Ergou: "My father, my mother, my mother-in-law and myself, the total is [-] mu of land."

Chen Er was startled and said: "My uncle's health is not very good, and your daughter-in-law has a big belly. How did you plant these [-] mu of land?"

Zhang Ergou was also a little worried: "Who says it's not? Four hundred acres, I can't grow it even if I risk my life alone."

After spitting out thick phlegm with a bah, Zhang Ergou said: "Tell me about this person, he is a scumbag. I used to think about having land when there was no land, but now I worry about having too much land!"

Chen Erheng said: "Who says it's not? My family also has a total of [-] acres of land. It's just me and my daughter-in-law. I can't take care of it!"

Zhang Ergou gave Chen Er a sideways look: "There are two people in your family, and I'm the only one in my family, with the same amount of land. You are much more relaxed than me!"

Chen Er still had a sad face: "What about next year? My wife won't have a baby next year?"

After the two of them worried for a while, Chen Ercai suddenly slapped his head: "Aren't you stupid? We can't take care of it alone, can't we find a few more people to take care of it?"

Zhang Ergou sneered and said: "You are so fucking stupid! Your two sons have to go to social school to study, you dare to let them come back and try farming? Can the government spare you? Could it be that you still want to hire someone else to do it for you? Do you farm?"

After sighing twice, Zhang Ergou continued: "Don't be stupid, no one can take care of their own one hundred acres of land, and who else will help you plant the land?"

Chen Er laughed and said: "You are so stupid! It is His Majesty's favor for my son to study. It is a great thing. We must remember this kindness, and we dare not delay our son's knowledge.

But isn't the government selling some native women?Let's go buy two and come back to be concubines. Isn't someone planting this land? "

Zhang Ergou slapped his head and said: "That's right, the local women sold by the government are only five taels of silver. There are four people in your family, and there are 40 taels of silver for the settlement. If you buy two, you can still have 30 taels of silver." Two, it's the same with my family, isn't there a race in this land?"

Chen Er nodded and said: "I plan to go to the government to buy one back. It can not only warm the bed but also cultivate the land. It is very cost-effective. If it is good, I will buy two more. If it is not good, it will be five taels of silver and sell it for three dollars. Five taels will not lose too much."

Zhang Ergou said: "Sure enough, it's good to have a scholar in the family, even you are enlightened!"
