Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

The righteousness shown by Taoyuan Village and even the whole Daoxiang County before this catastrophe made the emperor praise several times in the court. The second is to use it as an example to inspire others, so the imperial court's reward for Taoyuan Village is essential.

The emperor granted the people of Taoyuan Village that they would never have to pay taxes and military service, etc., and gave them a lot of farm tools, money, books and food.

Everything is attached to everyone's heart, not those flashy things, which fully meet the needs of the people of Taoyuan Village.

Both Chang Xile and Chang Yu were rewarded individually, and the most important thing was to give the Chang family's Iron Scroll Pill Book.Except for treason and treason, all death sentences will be exempted, and it will benefit future generations.

When Chang Xile took the Iron Juan Dan book, he breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was indeed a benevolent emperor, and he was worthy of their efforts to support him before.

Chang Yu was famous before, although it greatly boosted everyone's morale and reversed the whole situation, Chang Yu is definitely a well-deserved hero for winning such a smooth victory.Without him, no one is sure what will happen in the end.

But at the same time, Chang Xile was also very worried. Such a terrifying assassin had his head cut off under heavy guard. Would the current emperor fear the existence of such a person?Would you also be worried that you would lose your life unconsciously in your sleep?

He had even prepared for the worst, secretly plotting how to blow him up.But now that he has the iron scroll pill, he can at least breathe a sigh of relief, he doesn't need to be so nervous, he just needs to live normally as before.

The emperor gave them gold medals to avoid death, which also showed his trust in them.And it was not sent to the two of them, but to the entire Chang family and the third room, which showed their appreciation for them.After all, the two of them will have no children and grandchildren when they get married. This will also benefit more people and make them feel more at ease.

"Thank you, Lord Long En, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The Chang family worshiped devoutly and were very satisfied with the reward.

After receiving the decree, the Chang family members stood up from the ground, and Chang Xile said to the Xuan decree, "It's not easy for my father-in-law to come from a long distance. How about if you don't mind eating some simple food in the humble house before leaving?"

Eunuch Xuanzhi is a chubby man with a festive smile. He said with a smile, "I was waiting for Mr. Chang to say this. I heard that the food in Taoyuan Village is simple but delicious. I wanted to try it a long time ago. This time I came out to announce the decree." But the miscellaneous family finally got it, so naturally you can't miss it!"

Not only did the Chang family get the Iron Juan Dan Book, but Chang Xile and Chang Yu were also given the titles of Mr. Qingzhu and Tiger Warrior respectively. Although it was just a title and had no real power, it was a great affirmation to them.

Appreciate Chang Xile's noble character and Chang Yu's bravery and fighting skills.

Chang Xile naturally knew that these were just polite words, but these people had already expressed their attitude by being willing to stay, which showed that the emperor appreciated them very much.

The Chang family was worried about how to receive them. Although the father-in-law was not a big official, he was someone close to the emperor, and he came on behalf of the emperor. In fact, I have never eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas, so I am sure that they are not uncommon for their rough food.

Chang Xile directly asked them to prepare according to the usual banquet. Since the other party wanted to have a farm feast, they would serve these dishes.Besides, they are not like before now, it is still feasible to cook some delicate dishes, so there is no need to pay too much attention, after all, if you really want them to cook that kind of delicate dishes, it will be completely different.

And this group of people ate very happily, the father-in-law explained: "This is the first time that Zajia has traveled so far from Beijing, and after taking such a long boat, the whole person is dizzy every day and can't eat anything. The food was just right."

These people can only listen to half of what they say, but it can be seen that the other party is at least not disgusted, and that it is enough for Chang Xile and his party not to feel neglected.

Before leaving, Mr. Xuanzhi said: "Mr. Chang is so talented, why don't you plan to become an official? There is a shortage of talents like Mr. Chang in the court."

Chang Xile had previously submitted the prescription for preventing the post-disaster plague from Song Wan, and it was not only accepted but also played a great role.But Song Wancheng is sincere and did not take all the credit for himself, but told Chang Xile in detail.

Later Chang Xile did so many things, the emperor intended to let Chang Xile enter the court as an official, Song Wancheng helped him decline according to Chang Xile's previous wishes, not only Chang Xile, but also Chang Yu.

Although it is the father-in-law who is asking now, Chang Xile understands that this is what the emperor means.

Chang Xile cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your love. There is a specialization in art. Being an official in the court is not just about having these little cleverness. I am more suitable for this leisurely person. If the country is in trouble, I will do my best. Doing economic things on weekdays and keeping people in my hometown prosperous is the greatest thing I can do. And Chang Yu is different from ordinary people, and it is difficult to get along with others, so he is more suitable in this mountain."

Chang Yu's life experience cannot be hidden from the emperor, and there is no need to hide it, so that everyone can know that such a character is unique, so there is no need to worry that there will be many more in Taoyuan Village, which would be a bit scary.

The father-in-law nodded when he heard the words, knowing that the two people had made up their minds, and that he stayed just now, not only for eating, seeing the appearance of the Chang family compound, but also knowing the mentality of the two people.

The Chang family compound is not luxurious, let alone compared with the imperial palace, it is a bit shabby compared to the rich family.But the decoration inside is particularly comfortable, and it can be seen that the owner is a person who enjoys peace very much.Not just the Chang family, but the entire Taoyuan Village as well.Those soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield a while ago returned to the farmland as soon as they came back, and started working like ordinary farmers.

It's fine if it's an ordinary soldier, but many soldiers who have made a lot of military exploits put it down as soon as they say it, without any nostalgia at all.And it can be clearly seen on their faces that they like this place very much and enjoy this kind of life.Even if they know that if they are officials, they will be rich and prosperous, but they can't impress them.

It's no wonder that when the court was thinking about what to reward, Song Xueshi would propose such a plan. Looking at their expressions when receiving the reward, he knew that it was very in line with their wishes.

He also read the village rules and the rules and regulations of various workshops, as well as the library in the village. The experience is also taken away.

Unambitious, loyal, kind, and hardworking, he is the emperor's favorite example of common people.

Chang Xile knew everything her father-in-law had done in the village, so she deliberately let her father-in-law see it.They all show that they are good people, great good people, and will never rebel. The emperor must not have delusions of persecution, let alone overestimate their strength.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for a new reward from the imperial court to come again. This time, it was awarded the title of "No. [-] Village in the World" to Taoyuan Village, calling it a role model for people in the world to learn from.

When the title of 'No. [-] Village in the World' was awarded, the entire Taoyuan Village was stunned, and everyone cheered after realizing that this is a great honor, something that money can't buy back!

All the villages from ten li and eight villages got the news and came to congratulate them one after another. The county magistrate also went to the village in person and sent over the plaques that had been made, and the prefect of the mansion also gave words of encouragement.

Another big banquet was held that night, this time with rewards from the previous imperial court, so it was extremely lively and could reach the level of the previous rich days.Everyone jumped up and down, talking about their joy, and even more grateful for everything they had done before.Sure enough, if you pay, you will be rewarded. The ancients did not deceive me.

And Li Zheng also said very seriously before the banquet that night: "We are so loved by the emperor. As long as we are the people of Taoyuan Village for one day, we must abide by our responsibilities. Don't forget what we are called when we get praise. After all, even if the imperial court sees that we don’t pursue our past contributions or punish us lightly, we Taoyuan Villagers will punish us severely! Anyone who dares to insult the name of our Taoyuan Village will have to be severely punished!”

As early as when the previous rewards came down, the village formulated a lot of rules, mainly for field personnel.In order to prevent Taoyuan Village from enjoying the tax-free benefits granted by the imperial court, it would continuously annex fields from other places, causing monopoly and breeding disasters, so it was decided at that time that in addition to the existing land, unless new land is opened up in the future, the foreign land is not considered Taoyuan. village land.Whether it is purchase or compensation or gift from others, it cannot be incorporated. This item is not only included in the village rules, but also sent directly to the imperial court to set its rules, so as to prevent future generations from committing crimes by short-sighted people or bullying by intentional people. .

Secondly, I want to have strict regulations on naturalization in Taoyuan Village.Generally speaking, only marriage is allowed to enter, otherwise outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The disaster victims at the wharf were not included in the household registration of Taoyuan Village. This was decided before, and the people who governed them were also selected from among the disaster victims. The people of Taoyuan Village were only responsible for supervision.

This is not because of being wary of these disaster victims and fearing that they will have different ideas.Instead, there are thousands of disaster victims left behind. If they merged in privately, the number of people in the whole village would be the same as that of a small county town.According to the management method of Taoyuan Village, it can be said that one party dominates, which is not appropriate after all.

No matter how beautiful it is now, everyone takes a long-term view.No one knows what the future holds, so it's best not to give others any excuses.

"Li Zheng, don't worry! Whoever dares to make trouble, ask my fist first!" Dayingzi shouted aggressively, waving his fist.

Someone laughed and said, "Dayingzi, you are pregnant now, don't make yourself look like a female Rakshasa, don't affect the child."

Speaking of Dayingzi's pregnancy, Chang Xile felt ashamed.

Dayingzi's belly is already big now, and it's almost ripe.So when he was working as his bodyguard before, Dayingzi was already pregnant, and at that time he fought with the assassin several times.And the most amazing thing is that after such strenuous exercise, the child is doing well, while Dayingzi, a careless mother, is waiting for her stomach to bulge.It was Ding Ning who found out that something was wrong, and only then did he know that she was pregnant, which almost scared everyone to death.

However, Dayingzi also cheerfully said that this child is skinny, and it will definitely be just like her when it is born.

Dayingzi patted his stomach, "You have to start teaching from the stomach, my big girl has already picked up her father, so the one born this time must pick me up."

The belly slapped loudly, making everyone's eyebrows twitch.

"Take it easy." Ding Ning was on the point of crying, if he could have a baby, he would definitely not let Dayingzi come.He would rather die in pain than see Dayingzi being so inconsiderate.

Dayingzi giggled, "I, I just forgot."

Everyone didn't dare to look at Dayingzi, because they were afraid that their hearts would jump out of their throats.

Although the pregnant women in the village are not as expensive as the ladies in the city, but at this time, they are mostly taken care of and not allowed to do heavy work.This is especially true as the day before begins to improve.If you are very happy to say that the pregnant person has to move, otherwise the birth will not be easy, and you can't wait to confess and not let you move.

In this world, even Taoyuan Village has a relatively high survival rate, but giving birth to a child is still at the gate of hell, and even an adult or child who is not careful can't keep it.

The news that Taoyuan Village was named the No. 50 village in the world quickly spread everywhere, and I learned that the previous rewards, if there are unmarried men and women in the Taoyuan Village family, the threshold is almost broken by the matchmaker, even if it is an old widower aged [-] Many people like the widow.Especially men, after all, although they can still enjoy the benefits of Taoyuan Village after they marry, according to the secular rules, if they get married and move out, they cannot enjoy the benefits of the imperial court.And if they don’t live in the village, it’s difficult for their family members to enjoy the welfare of the village. It’s better if they are closer, but it’s more difficult to find some jobs if they are far away.

So there are some people who are willing to be door-to-door son-in-law, and these people are often not very poor.This world is still a typical patriarchal world, and the son-in-law who comes to visit is looked down upon by others, and most of them are caused by the bad family.But now it is different. There are many conditions that are quite good. They all come for the name of Taoyuan Village, hoping to be naturalized in Taoyuan Village.

Of course, most of these are farmers or small traders, and those who have some assets in the city or big landlords are not likely to do so.

But now the people of Taoyuan Village are not as difficult to marry a wife as they were when they were poor. They have already enjoyed such treatment when they were rich, but it is not so exaggerated, so it is calmer to face it again.Everyone pays more attention to character, otherwise, if you marry someone who is worthless, even if the village can be used as a backer, and even if you can't live with it, you can promote reconciliation, but after all, marriage is not a child's play, and this toss will always hurt a lot.And if you marry someone who is inconvenient, it will be even more troublesome, and it will directly bring down the whole family.

You must know that Taoyuan Village actually implements continuous sitting to a certain extent. If one person does not act properly, the whole family will suffer accordingly.Just like the case of a foreign daughter-in-law before, that man only looked at her appearance before, how could he know that she would do this under her delicate face.Always thinking of being greedy for cheap and not doing things, but because of laziness, he made a mistake in the workshop and caused a lot of losses, and also shirked responsibility and falsely accused others. After finding out the truth, the whole family was involved.

Everyone in the workshop had to be lowered one level, and the woman was fined and banned from entering the workshop for ten years.

The principle of Taoyuan Village has always been that you can make mistakes, as long as you have the courage to take responsibility, although there will be punishment, it will not affect the whole family.But if you make a mistake and don't know how to repent, or even frame others, then the whole family will bear the blame together, and this is also to make the family members become supervisors.

And the husband was obedient to him because he was married to a beautiful woman, and he even forgot the principles of life. At that time, the whole thing had a process, and there was a day between the incident and the result, but that The husband never told the truth.Although there is a possibility that the husband may be deceived, the person next to the pillow does not know how to behave as a husband, so he deserves to be punished for being so foolish.

But punishing the husband alone is not enough, there are other people, since the husband is soft-hearted or unable to supervise his wife for other reasons, then the whole family will supervise together.

This kind of effect is also very effective, and the little daughter-in-law never dared to make a fuss again.The former high status in the family is gone, so I can do whatever I want.After all, if she did such a thing, the loss would be very heavy.And there is still a criminal record, which is a black spot that cannot be erased.

Sometimes Chang Xile felt that the rules were too strict, but Li Zheng and the clan elders insisted that only in this way could the whole village be managed well.The village is different from the outside. Everyone is relatives at every turn. They are not afraid of strictness, but they are afraid that things will not be done well if they are too affectionate.And Chang Xile also wrote to Song Wancheng who asked for advice. Song Wancheng also said that there is no harm in doing so, and Taoyuan Village is not harsh, because they are only financial and reputation punishment, while other places are corporal punishment.

Seeing that Song Wancheng had no objection, Chang Xile felt relieved.He has a lot of theoretical knowledge but little practical knowledge, and most people in the village follow his advice. If there is no guidance from outsiders, he is worried that he will fall into a misunderstanding.This is also the reason why although he seems to know more than many people in this world, he still keeps enriching himself, because if he does not advance, he will retreat.

"Uncle, look, this watermelon is not big!" Yang Zi led a few little ones back from the outside, holding a watermelon bigger than his head in his arms.

The watermelons were brought back from overseas by Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun. In the first year, the watermelons grown were small and not red inside, and the taste was not too sweet. This year's watermelons seem to be much better, but no one has tasted them yet. Pass.

Chang Xile was also very happy to see her, "I just went to see it a few days ago, are you familiar with it now?"

"It's ready, listen to this sound." Yang Zi patted Chang Xile's ear.

"Hearing the news, it must be Hongdi's." Chang Xi said joyfully.He has always liked eating watermelon, especially in the hot summer, eating a few slices every day can quench his thirst and hunger.

"Uncle, just wait, I'll find a knife to cut it open..."

Before Yang Zi finished speaking, Chang Yu broke it open with his hands, and it turned out to be the red scoop!

Chang Xile was a little speechless at Chang Yu's rudeness, but she just said nothing.

Everyone took a bite and applauded, and Chang Xile wanted to cry silently, as she had found the taste of watermelon.When it was planted last year, he almost wanted to cry, and wanted to shout, what the hell is this.Fortunately, everyone has never eaten it, and they all think it is not bad, and there is quite a lot of water. When I went to work, I ate one that was chilled in the well. It quenched my thirst, so I didn't let those watermelons go to waste.

"This is much more delicious than last year's!" Yang Zi shouted.

"I just heard what you said outside, what happened outside?" Chang Xile asked after finishing eating a piece of watermelon.

"It's nothing, but the Dafu family who left the village before came back and knelt at the entrance of the village and wanted to return to our village, saying that they were wrong before and that nowhere is as good as their hometown."

Chang Xile almost forgot about this person. At the beginning, she was determined to leave without leaving any way out, but now it is not so easy to come back.

"Did something happen to their family?"

Then Yang Zi was willing to lift his head from the watermelon, "Uncle, you are really good at predicting things! I don't know what happened, and they didn't say anything. But seeing the whole family is very embarrassed, dressed The second aunt said that their clothes were from when they were in our village, and Dafu’s son had lost his hands. He must have been out in misery, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to come back brazenly.”

Chang Xile nodded and stopped asking. As for how to deal with Ziyou Lizheng and the clan elders, such matters would not bother him.

It didn’t take a few days for Joy to know the whole story. It’s not hard to guess. At the beginning, Dafu left Taoyuan Village to do business. Before he dared to leave like this, he had the confidence and connections. So it went very smoothly at the beginning, and the family lived well after a while. day.It's just that Dafu's son later started to hang out with people in the city, and started to gamble again, and the temptation in the city was even greater, so he fell into it.

At first, the family could afford it, especially when the natural disaster just started, Dafu took the opportunity to make a lot of money.However, no one cares about Dafu’s son’s gambling. At most, he just said a few words and finished it. As a result, he gambled more and more, but the court began to rectify it again.

As a result, the whole family went bankrupt. It wasn’t that they still had some savings. It’s just that the business will be more difficult in the future, but Dafu’s son’s gambling made Li’s last bit of property disappear. He was also cut off by a debt collector.They still owed a whole lot of debts outside, and finally managed to run back to the village, because this was the last refuge, otherwise the whole family would have to be sold.

The Chang family members all shook their heads when they heard this, and Father Chang said: "Just say that this gambling is not worthwhile, Dafu didn't listen to the training back then. Look at the three who gambled with his son before, they didn't dare to do it anymore after being taught a lesson. Now everyone is very promising, look at them again!"

This incident shocked the people of Taoyuan Village very directly, especially seeing that Dafu's son lost his hands and became sickly. He didn't know how much he had suffered before.Looking at the other three people they gambled before, all of them are strong and capable, and they lament that gambling is harmful.This also makes everyone even more afraid to gamble, and the trend has been passed down.
