Gu Yunhao had heard about this Mr. Su.He came to the village for a month, and according to his nature, he naturally wanted to search for some useful information as much as possible.

In addition to being a farmer, the Zhou family's Zhou Niu has another identity, that is, the head of the Zhou family village, who is in charge of ten farm households, and his status is one level lower than that of Li Zheng.

With such a source of information as Tuesday Niu, it is easy for Gu Yunhao to know the information.

He learned from the dark man that there was a teacher in the village who came to the village five years ago.It is said that he came from the capital. When he came to Zhoujia Village, he brought two followers with him and sat in a carriage. He looked quite rich. Give him three points.

This man's name was Su Fang. When he came to the village, he chose a piece of weedy land in the village, and he chose a well-known craftsman in the county to build a big house on this land.The outside of the house is painted with off-white lime, and it seems to be no different from other farmers' houses in the village except that the tiles are vermilion.

When he first arrived, everyone in the village looked at him strangely, wondering what this rich young man was up to.

Later, Li Zheng talked to several heads of households in the village, saying that this nobleman from the capital was going to open a school in Zhoujia Village this week, and that children who had reached Zongjiao's age could go to his mansion to study and study.

At that time, the farmers in the village were dubious, but many men were still moved and asked about the price of admission.Lizheng passed on the word that a bag of rice would be enough every year.This bag of rice is not handed in by every villager, but the food collection of all villagers.In this way, hundreds of farmers in the village can contribute only one bowl, which is really worth it.

Unable to withstand such temptation, all school-age children in the village were sent to the school to listen to the teacher's lectures.

Thinking about Zhoujia Village, except for Li Zheng who knew a few words, the others were all illiterate white men. When I went to the county to buy goods, I was fooled from time to time, and there were many inconveniences.Although I don't want to be a scholar or something, it's always good to let the offspring know a few words, and I'm not afraid of being fooled by jokes when I leave the village.

This Mr. Su Fang looks young, but he is capable of teaching. There are hundreds of children in the village, including female dolls. They liked him quite a bit, too.

Later, he gradually became acquainted with the people in the village, participating in all kinds of affairs, big and small, and the people of Zhoujia Village treated him as their own family, and no one respected you or me.But everyone seems to have an unwritten rule in their hearts. When they see Mr. Su, they should nod their heads and say hello to show their respect for him.

Based on this information, Gu Yunhao roughly understands that the legendary Su Fang has a high prestige in Zhoujia Village. If he wants to live a good life here, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with him.

Ergou jumped up and down in front of him, and Gu Yunhao followed Xiaowazi to the village road with a large bundle of firewood on his back.

Many people gathered on the village road, including men, women and children, surrounded by a two-wheeled carriage.The decoration of the carriage is very simple, the door curtain is a very common linen cloth, the red paint on the wooden frame is quite conspicuous, there is nothing extravagant about it.

Standing in the distance, Gu Yunhao couldn't see Su Fang's people, but saw two attendants in blue clothes, who seemed to be carrying something out of the carriage and were distributing it to the villagers.He wanted to wait until there were fewer people before going to say hello to Su Fang, but Er Gou kept dragging him forward.

Helpless, Gu Yunhao put down the firewood and moved closer to the crowd following Ergou's guidance.

Er Gou is small, he slipped into the gap of the crowd, slid around and disappeared, and then heard a childish voice coming out from inside: "Brother Hao is behind you." The voice is quite loud.

Perhaps there is a psychological shadow, but all the men who have been beaten by Gu Yunhao can't help but scatter to both sides.The crowd thinned out at once, the children and women were snickering, and some men who were calmer didn't say much, but enthusiastically introduced the newcomer to Mr. Su.

Gu Yunhao finally saw clearly this legendary figure.Before that, he had imagined many images of this teacher, some were gentle, some were arrogant, and some were amiable.

How should I put it, after all, I have never seen an ancient man dressed in formal attire. When Gu Yunhao saw Su Fang, who was wearing a green dress and a headband, he felt an indescribable weirdness.

This man was wearing a long Tsing Yi gown. He had a long body and a good temperament. His face was fair and clean, and he looked like a scholar.

The two looked at each other, but Gu Yunhao didn't take the initiative to move away.

Su Fang curled his mouth and smiled, and said, "Is that Gu Yunhao? I'm next to Su Fang."

Hearing this, Gu Yunhao instinctively wanted to reach out for a handshake, but when he saw the other party clasping fists, he quickly changed his posture and bowed as an archer.

This solemn salute surprised many villagers.

"I heard about you in Lizheng. It is said that you fell from the sky. It's really interesting."

Gu Yunhao couldn't help laughing in his heart. His own background was actually misrepresented into this version, which really makes people laugh.

At this moment Ergou jumped out and shouted: "No, Mr. Su, he came out of the paddy field, I found it."

Su Fang reached out and touched his head, then turned to look up at Gu Yunhao: "Everyone is a guest from afar, no matter where they come from. Brother Gu lives in Brother Erniu's house now, so let Brother Erniu take him again." Take a piece of cloth back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ergou grinned and said, "Thank you, sir." Then he took Gu Yunhao's hand and walked to the carriage, saying, "Brother Hao, you see which color you like, choose it I'll let my mother make you a suit. Mother's sewing is very good."

Children are always the most innocent. As soon as the immature voice of a child wanders around in the crowd, the tense nerves of the adults are immediately relaxed, so they talk about what they should talk about, and they completely forget their previous thoughts.

This was the first meeting between Gu Yunhao and Su Fang, and he didn't say a word, and was squeezed out by the crowd in the end.

When returning home, Ergou was very happy with two bundles of cloth in his arms.Gu Yunhao couldn't help daydreaming that if this child had a tail, it would be like a rhubarb, shaking so hard that it couldn't stop.

Su Fang came back, and it was time for the school to start. Fortunately, the summer farm work was almost busy, and now there was only some finishing work left, otherwise the children would not have time to go to school.

Gu Yunhao was originally a farmer, and later became a soldier, but his experience as a special soldier has already wiped out his previous memories, so for some farming tasks, Gu Yunhao only sounds familiar, and he is completely incapable of doing it.Fortunately, Tuesday Niu is patient and willing to teach anyone who doesn't understand.

He said: "I am very happy to be able to work hard for young people like you. Gouwazi is not here. It would be better to have your help. One is worth ten."

Gu Yunhao said: "I eat yours and live in yours, so I should help with some work."

Tuesday Niu patted him on the shoulder, then suddenly realized something, and quickly retracted his hand.

Gu Yunhao couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, Brother Zhou, I won't break your hand."

Tuesday Niu nodded: "That's good. By the way, did Li Zheng tell you about paying taxes?"

"What tax payment?" Gu Yunhao was puzzled.

"Oh, that's right." Tuesday Niu rubbed his shoulders, "Every farmer in Zhoujia Village has a strong man, they have to pay a poll tax. My Tuesday Niu family only needs to pay a poll tax, but now you Once you move in, you will have one more share, which becomes two.”

Hearing such rhetoric, Gu Yunhao instantly understood that farmers in a feudal society had to pay taxes. Although he still didn't know which dynasty the Great Yan Kingdom belonged to, it was an indisputable fact that farmers had to pay taxes.

Tuesday Niu continued: "Before I saw that you were alone and had no private land to cultivate, I promised to take you in and pay the poll tax for you."

Gu Yunhao was a little bit sorry: "The head tax for this strong man is quite a lot, right?"

Niu waved his hand on Tuesday: "Lizheng will not be embarrassed about a bag of aged rice. But there was a change later. After Mr. Su came back, he talked to Lizheng, saying that you are new here and you don't even have a household registration. Luo Luo, the head tax will be exempted first. Lizheng agreed, saying that the tax will be collected after your household registration is completed, so a bag of rice will be returned."

Gu Yunhao heard the doorway: "What's the matter with this household registration? Do you have to report it layer by layer, and wait for the approval from the superiors before you can be counted as me? And this Mr. Su seems to be quite powerful. Li Zheng decisions can be changed.”

Gu Yunhao was not a special soldier in his previous life for nothing, he had to learn not only martial arts, but also literature, so he knew a thing or two about Chinese history.People like Lizheng are actually representatives of the exploiting class in feudal society. It is common to search for people's fat and anointment, and they can be regarded as small landlords.Although Lizheng of Zhoujia Village has been humanized a lot, this cannot conceal his essential attributes.As for Su Fang, what kind of power does Su Fang have to influence a small overlord like Li Zheng?

On Tuesday, Niu didn't know what Gu Yunhao was thinking, and said frankly: "It is necessary to report to the yamen level by level, but it is said that as long as the report is made to the county yamen, it will be a success. We can't control things far away in the capital. The county yamen is in charge. It will probably take a month or so to finalize your matter. As for Mr. Su, I don’t know, but judging by his outfit, it shouldn’t be easy.”

On Tuesday, Niu said again: "What do we ordinary people do? If we can have food and fields, then we will be content. Don't you think so, brother?"

Gu Yunhao nodded in agreement. He is a modern person in his bones, and it is a bit difficult for him to accept this kind of rule immediately.But since it didn't hurt his interests much, he didn't want to care about anything.They come, the security.He must not be able to go back, he can only choose to accept it slowly.

"By the way," Niu seemed to think of something again on Tuesday, "If the household registration is approved, you will have to do military service next year."
