Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Chen Bosong took Ni Wenjun away, pretended to go to Chen Youliang, and killed him by surprise.

Li Congrong will lead people to follow behind, and will support if the situation is not good.

Lin Yuan was in Hanyang, dealing with Hanyang's government affairs, and had to wait for the news from Anfeng.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the city of Hanyang. It had not been a few months since they took Hanyang. If there was no strong army guarding it, no one could tell if someone would be bold.

Lin Yuan asked people to divide all the markets in Hanyang, just like Gaoyou, to build various factories so that poor people can find jobs.

As for the big officials and households in Hanyang, Lin Yuan asked Yang Shaowei to deal with them.

He can now free up his hands and focus on people's livelihood.

Hanyang's economy is not bad. Although the court is full of smog, the market is still there. The people are not living well, but after all, it is the capital of Tianwan, so it is not too bad.

But in places other than Hanyang, counties, districts, villages and towns are different. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local officials are the earth emperors.

What You Ming is going to move is the surrounding villages and towns. If the villages and towns are changed, it will gradually affect the city.

Lijia Village is at the foot of the mountain, and people here rely on farming and hunting for their livelihood, but the land here is not fertile. When the imperial court was in charge, they planted the land and hunted by themselves, but they could not live at all. After giving birth to a child, only one or two remained with her.

The other children were sold away, sold away, and if the family had the money and a few full meals, the child would have a chance to survive.

Li Er is an ordinary villager in Lijia Village. His family has no land. He was a hunter a few generations ago, and he is still a hunter now. However, from generation to generation, the prey on the mountain has gradually decreased. go.

Now their superiors have changed again. I heard that it is Nan Wang. They have never been out of this small mountain village in their life. Naturally, they don't know who Nan Wang is and what he has done.

The days seem to have not changed.

It doesn't matter if the person on top of the head is changed or not.

"Li Er, someone from above is here." The villager ran to the door of his house panting, "Let us all go over, no one will be missing, and your house should go quickly, don't make people wait."

When Li Er rushed there, he brought his family with him, his father, mother, daughter-in-law, and three children.

Nobody knows what happened or what they did in the past.

His daughter-in-law walked behind him, and asked cautiously: "The head of the house, nothing will happen, right?"

Li Er didn't know either, but he still comforted him and said, "It should be nothing, don't be afraid, if something really happens, I will protect you and run away."

The daughter-in-law stopped talking.

But they all knew in their hearts that if something happened, they couldn't run away, but they didn't dare not to go, so they walked to the village in such a frightened manner.

From a distance, they saw a group of soldiers, about a dozen of them, each of them was holding a weapon. They looked extremely vicious, like bandits, and many of them had scars on their faces, which was extremely hideous.

The daughter-in-law grabbed his clothes, trembling all over.

Li Er gritted his teeth and continued walking with his family.

Ordinary people are simple, and most of the time they can only accept passively instead of making their own choices.

There are not many middle-aged men in Lijia Village, and most of them have been conscripted away. There is only one middle-aged man in each family. There are more women than men, and there are more old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if they want to run, they can't run away with their children , can only pass honestly.

Li Er walked into the crowd, and the family was close together, as if they wanted to draw strength from each other.

"Everyone is here." The villager said to the leading soldier. He bent over, lowered his head, and squeezed out a flattering smile on his face full of grooves.

The soldier said, "Since everyone is down, I'll say it."

"Now, you are all under the control of Nan Bodhisattva. From now on, you will also be the subjects of Nan Bodhisattva."

"We didn't come here this time to recruit soldiers, but if you want to join the army, you can just come to me."

When the soldier was talking, no one dared to interrupt. The villagers looked up at him, their simple faces full of bewilderment.

The soldier continued: "Nan Bodhisattva said that there will be requirements for which villages to do in the future. If you want to raise chickens in this village, we will build the shed. You don't need to spend money on the chickens. We will raise chickens when they are ready. Come here and take away the chicken at the price."

"Each village needs an experienced chicken farmer." The soldier winked, and a middle-aged man who looked like a farmer waved to them quickly and smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, that's all. You guys go to your own business." The soldier said, "Ask me if you don't understand anything."

After the crowd dispersed, Li Ercai took his family home again, and the whole family sat around the table.

The daughter-in-law couldn't help asking: "Do you raise chickens? How many chickens?"

"Can I eat chicken?" The child is young, and when he hears chicken, he thinks of meat. "Are there any eggs?"

The daughter-in-law also asked: "Are we just raising chickens for the elders above?"

Li Er was sitting on the side, not stopping his hands, and was weaving rattan baskets. He raised his head after hearing the words, also with a confused expression on his face: "The soldier said just now that they will build the shed, and chickens don't need money. He also said that when the time comes Only take away the chickens that are paid off."

The daughter-in-law asked cautiously: "Is that... the chickens are raised, how many can we share?"

Li Er was not sure: "...Probably?"

Soon, the soldiers began to build the sheds. They were strong and quick to move. All the wood they used to build the sheds was cut on the mountain by themselves, which was faster than the carpenters. Bing didn't have a big temper, so he mustered up his courage and asked, "Master Bing, what are you doing?"

The soldier replied to him: "Fix the wood according to the drawing, and then it will be assembled. It will be much more convenient."

Muramasa can also do some carpentry work, watching and doing it himself. Although he can't read the words, he can still understand the pictures. The more he reads, the more reluctant he is to put the paper down.

But he didn't dare to ask if he could take the blueprint back.

The villagers didn't dare to get close at first, but only dared to watch from a distance. Later, they found that the soldiers were very busy every day and had no time to take care of them. The shed was built quickly and big, and they finished their work. They would go and watch, watching the chicken shed grow from scratch, and they seemed to have a strange sense of participation.

After all, the shed is simple, not like a modern chicken farm.

The chicken farmer who was brought to this village said to the villagers: "You have to be careful about raising chickens. How good it is to raise chickens. There are eggs and meat. I have raised chickens for more than ten years. These chickens are just like people. If you treat it well, it will treat you well."

After the greenhouse was built and the chickens were delivered, the villagers suddenly realized that the soldier was about to leave.

But the soldier still warned them before leaving: "We will come here every month. If you don't raise well, we will take the chickens back."

"Also, if something happens to Master Zhao, he will settle the score with you."

Master Zhao is a professional who was sent to the villagers to raise chickens in greenhouses. He raised chickens very well in Gaoyou before.

He was sent here for technical assistance this time, and if he returns to Gaoyou later, his job title will be promoted, he will be allocated a bigger house, and his monthly salary will be adjusted upwards, otherwise he would not have joined Gaoyou. Come to this poor and backward place.

Li Er was a quick-witted person, seeing that he couldn't hunt any prey, he always started to join Master Zhao.

He doesn't dislike raising chickens and ducks as a woman's job, the most important thing is to find a new livelihood as soon as possible.

And Master Zhao relies on raising this for food, so he naturally wants to ask more questions.

"A few years ago, when Nan Bodhisattva was not in trouble, Gaoyou was not like it is now." Master Zhao ate dried meat and gave Li Er a share. Now Li Er talks to him every day, so he has to be nice to others. "At that time, I lived on two acres of land and had to pay taxes, but I was not the worst one. The worst one was the salt man who could only transport salt. If the people above didn't pay them, they would have nothing to eat. Eating, doing more doesn’t necessarily mean getting more.”

"I was raising chickens back then, and the meat was delicious when I raised them. If I could lay an egg a day, that would be a good day." Master Zhao said with a smile, "Chicken are not easy to raise, so I bought the big ones at the beginning. , The big ones are easy to raise, and the later ones are easy to raise, so I started raising chicks."

When Master Zhao talked about the past, his eyes drifted a little: "Later, the little official in charge of our area saw that my chickens were well raised, so he let me raise them well, but he had to give him one chicken and seven eggs every seven days."

Master Zhao: "I don't want to raise chickens anymore, but he still wants to come to me for it..."

Li Er didn't speak.

Master Zhao: "I can only spend money to buy it. I didn't have much money at first, and life became more and more difficult, so my mother-in-law ran away."

"I don't know where she went or if she's still alive."

Master Zhao wiped his face: "Fortunately, I still have a daughter. With her here, I can survive."

"After Nan Bodhisattva came, he started to build a factory to raise chickens, ducks and pigs." Master Zhao had a smile on his face, "There are so many chickens! They are all raised! I can't count the eggs every day. !"

Master Zhao asked Li Er: "When was the last time you ate chicken?"

Li Er was stunned. The last time he hunted pheasants on the mountain was last year: "Last year."

Master Zhao said in a low voice: "When I was in Gaoyou, I could eat two eggs every day, and there was meat every day. Because I did a good job, besides the monthly money, I could take a chicken back every month. The rooster is still an old hen. It’s up to me to choose, I like to choose the little rooster, and my daughter likes to eat it.”

Li Er listened, with a mouthful of saliva in his mouth, he wanted to eat meat.

After the prey on the mountain dwindled, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

He would rather give it to the villagers and get more food than dare to eat it.

Master Zhao patted Li Er on the shoulder: "You are lucky! With Nan Bodhisattva here, you can live a good life."

Li Er stared blankly at Master Zhao. He didn't know if Nan Bodhisattva was a Bodhisattva, but as long as he could keep them from starving, he was a real Bodhisattva.
