The little piggy who had become a eunuch was moved to the newly built pigsty, Xu Tian counted on it as a test product, so naturally he would not treat his food badly, the pig food that made the servants in the castle drool secretly Every day, he used his full stomach to comfort his wounded heart, and every day someone came to check his wounds, which can be said to be quite luxurious treatment.

There were five hard-working peasant families standing outside on the land that should have been fallow. Now it was not their day to serve the lord, but they were forced to work by the agricultural officer, but no one dared to argue. After all, it was The land of the lord is the agricultural officer of the lord, and the free people are free people in name, but in the eyes of the nobles, they are not even comparable to a chicken.

The land that was supposed to be fallow for three years is now the second year, but it is already covered with weeds, and there are even many small trees and shrubs. It is not far from the land that is being cultivated by the farmers themselves—the land of the lord. What kind of magic does arable land use? Not to mention small trees, even the most common shrubs and weeds are few, and not just a little bit of land is like this, but all the land that is being cultivated is like this.

In order not to break easily, pottery needs to be added with crushed plant branches and leaves and stone powder. To make mud bricks tougher, dead branches and leaves need to be added. The raging pottery fire does not go out all night, and piles of firewood are used as fuel. The excrement has been completely wiped out by the lord's food exchange policy, and even a lot of weeds and wild vegetables have been picked away as pig food and human food. Everything in this territory is useful, how would the free people know this? change.

The fallow land has been divided, and the branches left shallow traces on the ground as a dividing line. There is a distance between the two lands that can stand on two feet. This is the place to walk in the future, and it is also to prevent free people They are deliberately lazy, secretly erase the traces and draw one by themselves and say that the task is completed.

The agricultural officer asked everyone to stand in a row, and then loudly explained what they were going to do today - each person could be assigned a field, dig out the weeds and put them on one side, put the shrubs and small trees on the other side, and put the stones on the other side. Go to the other side, and then plant the sweet potatoes that are neatly placed on one side. After completing a field, you can get a spoonful of paste or brown jade.

In order to show that what he said was true, the agricultural officer asked several servants to bring two earthen pots, took out a spoon, scooped up the paste, and brought it to everyone for them to see clearly, in the end, he was afraid that these idiots would not recognize clearly How much mud was there, so a servant stretched out his hands and poured it all into the servant's hand. Before the pour was finished, the servant's hand couldn't let go.

There was a sound of gasping, the corner of the agricultural officer's mouth showed a smile, and he stretched out his hand to the other side. There were a few shiny iron farming tools. Of course, these were not for free use. After all, only people cherished things that cost money. People who rent iron farm tools can only get half of the mud, and they have to pay for damages. The free people have no objection to this. After all, in this place where wooden bowls are regarded as treasures, it is already a big deal for the lord to let them use them. gifted.

The families of Huck and David were also there, but they were not forced to come here by the agricultural officer, but asked to come here on their own initiative. Although there was a commotion at home after returning home, it turned out that this choice was worthwhile. You can already imagine how others will envy them when they go back.

The work started quickly, and the visible blur gave the freemen great power to move, but only Huck dared to ask for the use of iron farm tools, and he only took a handful and ran back.

There is nothing to say about work. The whole family went to battle to pull weeds, dig trees and pick up stones. Several strong slaves were waiting beside them. Go to the wooden barrel, and when it is full, it will be taken to the pottery; the small trees and shrubs are also classified, and the thin branches and thick poles are sent to different places to be used as adhesives and fuels; The big ones were picked aside for later use, while the small ones were sent to the river to be crushed into powder for pottery.

It was a scene of enthusiasm, especially when the first person who finished the work really got a spoonful of mush, and the whole family happily shared it, the others worked faster.

so good.

Holding the thick paste in her hands, Anna carefully licked it with her tongue, then narrowed her eyes happily.

She is the eldest girl in the family. Her mother gave birth to eight children, only her and the youngest brother survived. The other children were either not taken care of, or died because of the wrong gender. She didn't want to die. Every day She only ate a little food this time, and she worked hard, but the food at home was still getting less and less.

Today was the first time she ate such a thick paste, and her father did not say that she wasted food, because her younger brother could only carry it on his back and couldn't do work at all, but she helped her parents a lot I'm busy.

It would be great if I could work for the lord every day in the future. At home, Anna could only wait for her parents to finish scraping the stone before licking off the little paste left on the stone.

Most of the people here actually eat all kinds of mush, and they can’t afford to use iron products, so everyone showed their skills. Anna’s father specially paid a stone tax, and it took a long time Time has knocked out a depression on a palm-sized stone, which is their pot, but most people still eat it directly. In order to increase the feeling of fullness, they will drink water vigorously while eating...

"eat fast."

Her father urged her again, but Anna didn't dare to delay any longer, she hurriedly swallowed the sticky paste on her hands, and licked the sticky paste on her hands cherishingly.

"We're going to borrow farm tools, too."

Anna's father could see clearly that David just borrowed a handful of iron farm tools, but it was much faster than their work. Although he had to work two fields to get a piece of mud, he knew that Dai Vi must end up eating more goo than he does.

the other side.

Anna is working hard. This Anna is not the same as the previous one, because minors do not have official names, and people here have limited knowledge. Most of the children have the same baby name. For example, your name is When you say Henry, seven or eight children may look back at you, so when people call their children, most of them will bring their parents' names, such as Anna from David's family or Henry from Jack's family.

Anna also has a younger sister named Anna. People call them Big Anna and Little Anna. The sisters cooperate very tacitly, and their bodies are also very strong after eating. Together, they are no worse than an adult at work, but their father is slow. Even though they retreated, what the sisters got after hard work did not meet the standards - the lazy father didn't turn the ground to the proper depth, and the sweet potatoes that should have been carefully planted were also messed up.

In order to distinguish it from the previous Anna's family, we call this family No. [-] Anna.

Anna No. [-]'s father dragged his feet, mumbling something after being pointed out by the servant who watched them, and then sat down, leisurely watching the three mother and daughter busy making up for his previous carelessness.

The two Annas and their mother spent a lot of time, but in the end they could only watch a spoonful of the paste being half-emptied back into the clay pot by the agricultural officer, while their brazen father stretched out his hand as a matter of course and demanded that the paste be thrown away. Pour it to him.

"I have done a lot of work. People who can only give birth to daughters are not eligible to eat."

Anna felt it was unfair that the shameless man said that, that man was doing the easiest job (and not doing it well), and took all the goo for granted.

"Next time I'll share some with you."

That face, no different from that of a refugee, had a disgusting expression that made Anna want to throw up. Her hands, her mother's hands, and her sister's hands were all clenched into fists, but no one spoke.

Why is she not a boy?

Anna thought a little unwillingly.

"beat."

The agricultural officer looked at the smug man, grinned, put the spoon back, and beckoned to two servants with wooden sticks, and started beating the man without saying a word.

"Come here."

The servants cleverly dragged the man behind to beat him, and the agricultural officer waved at the mother and daughter. The three stepped forward timidly. The agricultural officer looked at the dull red on their skin and sighed inwardly.

"Hand out."

It is impossible to have bowls. Wooden bowls are important property of the family. How can they be taken out easily? Everyone eats the mush with their hands. Fortunately, the mush is already cold, so they are not afraid of burning their hands.

"You have done your work, so you should eat mush."

The agricultural officer poured the muddy into the hands of the three, and said seriously, when he saw their eyes, he knew that he was talking for nothing. The lord did not dig into the horns.

"You can do more work when you are full. If you are not as good as others, then you will not be able to come here again."

After thinking about it, the agricultural officer changed his words, and sure enough, he saw the two little girls start to gobble it up, and the woman also started to eat stuffed food after hesitating.

"If you don't work hard, then go grind for ten days!"

He didn't have a good look at the male agricultural officer, and directly announced the end of the lazy man. It happened that the stonemason had made a new stone mill, so it would be better for this hard-working man to exercise himself.

The three mother and daughter raised their heads immediately. Although the mother said worried words, the surprise on her face was clear, and the two girls proved their happiness with their actions—after a few mouthfuls, they were confused. While licking his fingers, he asked where else he could work.

The agricultural officer smiled, but there was something left in the corner of his eye, and he didn't know why.

The author has something to say: emmm... This chapter is quite heavy to write, can anyone tell me how to get equal rights, I can only provide economics.

I thought of a serious problem: the stone mills here are pushed by people, and they have... ash... lice... (vomit——), please help me patch it——
