iron face man laughing husband

"I can't help it. The old man is getting old, and I can't leave my house." Tie Qing is now considered a landlord, not a country gentry, but it is definitely impossible for him to do hard labor.

"Do those long-term workers in your family... also buy labor quotas?" Xu Zhou asked a sharp question.

Tie Qing was taken aback: "I never thought about it."

"Go back and ask, they are all locals, good farmers, even if they work for you as long-term workers, they still have to do hard labor." Xuzhou said: "Go back and ask, if they all buy quotas, I will give them a bargain Some."

"What? Is it still possible to negotiate the price?" Tie Qing was a little confused.

"No, if you bought quotas like this, we can get your money if we have extra people who want to find work." Xuzhou said: "Besides, this year is different from last year. Last year was dredging the river, so bad luck The people above have suffered from old crimes, this year they are going to repair the city gate, it is simple, and they can earn a living in the army.”

When the city gate was built, meals were provided by the army. Although it was said to be a big pot of food, at least the local government did not need to bear the meals.

And the food in the army is somewhat meaty.

"Oh, I'll ask." Tie Qing really didn't think about it.

As a result, when he went back and asked, all the long-term workers asked him for leave to do hard labor!

"Can't you buy a quota?" Tie Qing was depressed.

"I can't, it's so expensive!" Tang Min said, "I'll go, my husband is still doing the work at the house."

Tie Qing thought for a while: "Forget it, who will do the housework after you leave? I will pay for the hard labor."

He has a lot of food and a lot of income this autumn harvest, so he has spent so much food money, not short of this labor money.

So Tie Qing went to Xuzhou.

His long-term workers are all from separate families. In name, they are all single households. According to the regulations of the court, they need to pay taxes. However, they have no land under their names, no farming, and no grain income, so there is no need Pay taxes.

Taxes only need to pay money.

But labor must be paid, and this is an obligation that must be fulfilled.

And each household has one person, so if there is no separation, just one labor will do.

Therefore, in general, if the parents are present, they will not separate the family. If the family is separated, they will have to do hard labor.

In order not to perform hard labor, many families will not divide the family casually, but if one of the parents is gone, the family will be divided.

Tie Qing found Xu Zhou: "All the long-term workers' labor must be bought with money."

"Are you sure?" Xu Zhou didn't expect such a result: "You are too kind to the long-term workers, aren't you?"

"It's okay." Tie Qing didn't care.

He didn't care about the cost, because he didn't expect it to make money at all, he just lived.

As long as the day is easy and comfortable, it's fine.

Tie Qing paid the redemption money for work and rest, one person only needs five taels of silver, there are ten people in total, Sun Kong is a disabled person, so he doesn't need to work hard.

Neither husband nor husband.

Another reason is that the three brothers of Lao Sun's family did not separate.

50 taels of silver, Tie Qing gave twelve taels of silver, and then another five taels of silver: "Please trouble the county magistrate."

As for the benefit fee, it must be enough.

It's better to find Xuzhou to do business in the future.

"That's interesting." Xuzhou likes cheerful people like Tie Qing: "Let me tell you, the county magistrate is going to be transferred."

"Ah?" Tie Qing was taken aback: "Leaving?"

"Yeah, this is not enough for the three-year term, and I still have to work for another year. The superior has lost his relationship and wants to be transferred from this place. In our place, the first thing is that there is no money, and he has to be assigned various tasks by the superior; The second is that it is not suitable for adults, as adults, a southerner, I really can’t adapt to this place in the north, and I don’t even want to leave the door in winter, I feel that I will be frozen to death.”

Tie Qing was amused: "It's true."

At this time, there is no such thing as a "greenhouse effect" in the north.

It was very cold, especially last year when there was a lot of snow and wind. I heard that in some places, even livestock froze to death.

Of course, there were also cases of people freezing to death, and this county magistrate was not easy to be.

The county magistrate of Beifeng County is good, but unfortunately, he was assigned to Shulin County.

The entire Northeast Mansion is cold enough, the county magistrate wants to be transferred to the south, even if he is not in his hometown.

"I left after the new year, and a new county magistrate came to take up his post." Xuzhou said, "I don't know what kind of person it is."

Those who have just been familiar with this position are about to be replaced.

"Then you have to be more careful." Tie Qing thought for a while and asked him, "Can't you be the county magistrate?"

"Unless no one comes, the local county magistrate will be promoted to be the deputy county magistrate. If you do well, you will be officially appointed in [-]." Xuzhou sighed: "If I am a Juren, this county magistrate will be able to be appointed. .”

It's a pity that he is not even a scholar, he has only read books.

There is no decent school in Shulin County, there is only one county school, the head of the mountain is an old scholar, and the teachers who teach are two scholars.

These are the only three talents who teach and educate people in Shulin County.

Everything else is gone. Shulin County is indeed very barren.

It's fine if it's not profitable, but the county magistrate didn't sell the "Dazhen Dharma Code" ordered by the imperial court, and he bought the remaining three copies himself.

This is tantamount to losing money!

Do you think he can think of a way to be transferred?

"Yes." Tie Qing was also a little regretful, if Xu Zhou became the magistrate, it would be convenient for him.

When leaving, I also saw Yang Daqing.

"Brother Yang!" Tie Qing greeted him.

"Tieqing." Yang Daqing also greeted him cheerfully: "Come to see Xu Xiancheng?"

"That's right, buy labor quotas for those long-term workers in our family." Tie Qing said, "How are you doing here?"

"It's okay, it's good." Yang Daqing asked him in a low voice: "How many quotas did you buy? Starting this year, there will be no restrictions on quotas."

The days are getting better and better. In fact, there are not many places for labor, and it doesn't matter if everyone pays more or less.

If you are busy with work, the quota can be more than five taels of silver, at least ten taels!

When the labor is not busy, the government also wants to sell a few more places, and the money from the sale can be left to fill the public account.

When employing workers, hiring young and strong people to work does not cost them their own money.

"I bought more than a dozen, our parents have a lot of work, and my old man's pole." Tie Qing pointed to himself: "And myself."

"You!" Yang Daqing was happy: "You won't be tired if you are young and strong to do labor."

"No way." Tie Qing shook his head: "I can't live without my family, the old ones, the young ones, there are a lot of things to do."

He would rather go hunting in the mountains than do hard work outside.

"It's true." Yang Daqing knew that Tie Qing's family was very different now, they had become landlords, and there were more things to do, so he could understand.

"You're a headhunter now?" Tie Qing looked at Yang Daqing's clothes and said happily, "Congratulations!"

Yang Daqing used to be just an ordinary catcher, but now he is a head catcher. Leading a team of catchers is equivalent to being the number one person in their county.

"Congratulations, the arrester in front was brought by the county magistrate. He is not a good person, and he basically never leaves the county seat. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he probably has to go to the next place with the magistrate." Yang Daqing, the arrester The head was no longer wanted, and he had a good relationship with Xu Zhou, and he was indeed a bit smart, so he became a head catcher.

After becoming a headhunter, I realized that some things are really tiring.

"That's pretty good, you work hard and lean on the county lieutenant!" Tie Qing said: "At any rate, he is also an official."

In the county government, there is a county magistrate, which is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate, but a county magistrate, is equivalent to the director of the police station.

And the county lieutenant, like the county seat, has an official status of eighth or ninth grade, but he is the most hopeful official for a commoner, although it is a bit lower.

Yang Daqing was happy: "Where is it so easy? Only when there is an opportunity to make great contributions, the superiors will consider it, and the county lieutenant is an official. At that time, it was different from now."

Now it's the headhunter, and the people at the top can say whatever they want, and scold them whenever they want.

It's different to become a county lieutenant, that's a colleague, an iron rice bowl, without the court's nod, at least, without the prefect's nod, the county magistrate would not be able to do anything to him.

"Then you will make a great contribution!" Tie Qing pointed to the various notices pasted on the wall, among which there were many pictures of Jiang Yang's robbers.

Although the painting doesn't quite look like it, it still has a look.

"Where is it so easy? In the past few days, a lone thief came here. I heard that he is a guy wanted by the court. Not to mention his evil intentions, his skill is not bad. A reward has already been offered. One person is worth 500 yuan." Two silver coins, but he can't get along with us in Dazhen anymore, and he wants to go out to the grassland, offending too many people, and wants to go out to live the rest of his life."

In this era, there are also many neighboring countries around Dazhen, and the north is the Dameng Grassland.

To the east is the country of Koryo, and to the west there is also a country, but I don’t know what country it is called. To the south are the countries of Haixi and Fulang.

This is the information that Tie Qing bought a lot of seafood and chatted with people from the caravan from the south.

The Northeast is inherently cold, and Shulin County is so remote, the border land, the caravans from the south, and the things they transport are all cheap things in the local area, and they will be sold at a higher price in the north.

For example, kelp, it is possible to feed pigs by the sea, and the cheap ones are basically as if they came for nothing. In the north, a catty of dried kelp can be sold for [-] to [-] copper coins.

I heard that they also brought precious pearls here, which were sold more expensively.

Many Jiangyang thieves can't get along in their own country, and they will go out to other countries.

So now there are people who want to pass through Shulin County and go to Shanlang Pass to leave the country.

"500 taels is so much?" Tie Qing was moved.

500 taels, if this is caught, wouldn't it be a free money?What's more, this person is a lone thief, and he doesn't have any relatives, let alone close friends, so it's much more convenient than Seven Star Thief.

"Yeah, this guy named Bailiba has a lot of family background. If he hadn't stolen the Ye Mingzhu from a royal relative in the new dynasty, he wouldn't have been wanted, and he wouldn't have been forced to leave. It's a foreign land." Yang Daqing told Tie Qing mysteriously: "I heard that Ye Mingzhu is priceless, I don't know what it looks like."

Tie Qing's eyes flickered: "Then you have to work hard, if you catch it, you'll be fine."

"Where are you going to catch them?" Yang Daqing himself didn't even have confidence: "There are so many capable people in the six gates of the capital and they can't catch them. I can catch them as soon as I come to the countryside?"

The two chatted for a while, and Tie Qing asked him to go to Shilixiang for dinner in the afternoon after a errand.

Tie Qing went back to the inn.

It just so happened that everyone had finished delivering the tax and food, and it was much easier. Some people went to the grain store in the county and asked about the price of the grain.

"There are only five grain stores in our Shulin County, one of which is owned by the imperial court. According to their purchase price, a catty of grain is only a penny. Who will sell it!" Old Xiao Boss muttered to Tie Qing unhappy: " The other four companies all charge two cents a piece, and the price cannot go up.”

"Oh, two cents a catty is very little, and when you sell it, you pay five cents a catty!" The corn yield is high, but if the price doesn't go up, it's useless.

The country people don't have much income, so they just point to this little grain and sell it for money.

However, after the beginning of spring next year, when there is no harvest, the food price will rise again. The most expensive thing is ten copper coins for a catty of corn grains, and twenty copper coins for a catty of corn noodles.

Ancient food is really a huge profiteering ranks!

However, the preservation method of this ancient grain is very primitive. The corn grains are not ground into corn flour, and they can be stored for two or three years. Although it is old grain, it is still edible.

"There is no way. This autumn's harvest will bring down the price of grain. It has been done like this in the past." Lao Xiao boss was worried: "You have so much land and so much grain, what should you do? This is a long-term worker and a meat worker. Yes, how much did it cost you?"

He was afraid that Erxu would not make much money, and that he might lose money. He hired long-term workers.

"It's okay, we still have a lot of money in our family." Tie Qing didn't take it seriously at all: "We'll do it this year first, and we'll see the situation next year. Besides, we won't make much money, and we won't lose money."

Old Xiao Boss is still worried: "The food in the house can't be sold at the price."

"Just sell as much as you want. Anyway, the family doesn't count on that little grain for food." Tie Qing smiled. He planted the land of the old man Ganzi's house, and he also harvested it. The old couple didn't go to the land at all. He planted a vegetable garden and raised some livestock at home, and he went to see it every day. The old couple lived a much more comfortable life than before.

"Yes, the family doesn't need to rely on the land to get by, but food is also a good thing, and it's not suitable to sell it too cheap." Old boss Xiao still couldn't get over this hurdle.

He used to live like this, but now he suddenly stopped selling grain for money, and he still can't make a turn. What's more, the family has saved a lot of money, but he is an old farmer after all.

He felt distressed that the food could not be sold at a price, and the labor he had put in was sweating in vain.

"I'll invite Yang Daqing to drink tonight, are you coming?" Tie Qing changed the subject: "Still eating here with everyone? Tonight's dinner is stewed mutton, haggis soup, and big pancakes."

"You go with him, I won't go." Old boss Xiao was a little disheartened: "I'm here to eat with the big guys."
