The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

There are about forty or fifty households in the village in front of them, and each household has at least one or two children under the age of ten.

Wen Jingyan raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

I might as well open a medical clinic here and let the children in the village learn some medical skills.

In this way, you can have regular contact with the Jiang family and make things easier in the future.

These days, no matter how much he made innuendo, or even directly asked if their family had any ancestral secret medicine, Old Man Jiang denied it and laughed and said that his ancestor was an old farmer, so how could he have any secret medicine.

I have also secretly observed the expressions and behavior of the Jiang family. They looked calm, as if they really had no secrets.

If he hadn't witnessed the liquid on the strand of hair with his own eyes and witnessed the miraculous effects of the liquid, he would have thought that his junior brother had misdiagnosed Jiang Erlang's condition.

As for Jiang Sanlang, he has lived here for three days, but he has only spoken to him.

It's not that Jiang Sanlang is ignoring people, but that the young man is too busy and often doesn't see people all day long.

Seeing that he could no longer delay here, Wen Jingyan was extremely anxious.

"Hengchuan, what do you think about setting up a medical clinic here?" Wen Jingyan turned to ask his grandson.

Wen Hengchuan was puzzled: "Why did my grandfather set up a medical clinic here? We are quite far away from here, and it is not convenient to come and go."

Wen Jingyan sighed, "Grandpa knows it's inconvenient, but you also know the situation at home. If that person is not good, our family will definitely be affected.

I think it would be better to send one or two of the children from the family over and let them establish themselves here, which would also give the family a backup plan. There will always be unrest in the capital. "

Wen Hengchuan was silent.

Grandfather was right, if that person could not be cured, his family might be in trouble.

"It's all according to my grandfather's arrangements." Wen Hengchuan said calmly: "It's just that we need to make careful preparations for setting up a school here."

Not only does one have to settle here, but one also has to have a good relationship with the local big family.

I and my grandfather will definitely not teach here, so I can only choose one or two safe ones from the family.

Wen Jingyan nodded, "Since we are running a school, we must negotiate the rules with the Chen clan leader, because the Chen clan also has a clan school, so what we set up must not conflict with them.

Why not set up a women's medical clinic and teach the female dolls here medical skills, and maybe let Wen's female medicine be passed down. "

Although the people of the Great Qian Dynasty were open to the public, very few women studied medicine.

Because women's medical studies are different from men's, most of them specialize in treating women, and they mostly treat gynecological diseases, including pregnancy and childbirth.

Women from wealthy families would not learn the medical skills of pregnancy and childbirth, because doctors would inevitably look at and touch the patient's body, which would be regarded as unclean and inappropriate, and it would be difficult to discuss marriage in the future.

Those who are willing to learn are all women who have given birth, but such half-way doctors will not achieve much.

Wen Hengchuan smiled: "Indeed, regardless of others, the child named Ying Bao is a talent."

The next day, Wen Jingyan's grandparents said goodbye and left.

Old Man Jiang put the people on the carriage, waved his hand, and sincerely asked them to come back next time so that he could give some golden ears to his brother to try.

At the same time, Jiang Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally left.

The grandfather and grandson talked to him, and they kept talking about Erlang's recovery from illness. They also asked about some folk remedies and family secret medicines, which scared him so much that he avoided them for the past few days.

Alas, don’t come back next time after you leave.

"Chun Niang, I'm going to build a brick house in Nanshan."

Jiang Sanlang said while eating: "In the past few days, I went to the brick kiln to order the bricks and tiles for three rooms. It is estimated that they will be completed after autumn, and then I can hire people to build houses."

"Really?" Chun Niang was very happy.

My family already has almost a hundred taels of silver, and I can't even use a hundred taels to build three brick houses.

When you make money in the future, you can buy some good wood, hire people to come over and build a few sets of furniture, build a big yard, and build a few bamboo sheds.

"The eldest brother and the second brother are also planning to build with us. The three brothers will build the same big house and the same big yard." Jiang Sanlang said happily: "I also bought ten acres of land from several villagers. From now on, the bamboo sheds will be built." Just build it there.”

"You also bought land?" Chun Niang was surprised: "Then our family won't have to wait for household upgrade in the future?"

As her household level increases, the taxes her family pays will also increase accordingly.

For example, her family is now a fourth-class lower-income family, and their tax payment is much less than that of Chen Cunzheng's first-class upper-class family.

Jiang Sanlang: "You will be promoted even if you don't buy land. As long as we build a house, Sun Lizheng will come over next year to check and register."

There are many tax items in the imperial court. Even the number of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, mules and horses, the number of houses, and the number of furniture and farm tools in the people's homes must be registered one by one, and then the tax levels are divided into first to fifth grades.

Those in the first to third grades are the upper households, and they pay 10% more taxes than the lower households in the fourth and fifth grades.

Therefore, many farmers do not know how to build houses unless necessary, and they do not even know how to build yards. At most, they can only surround them with bamboo fences.

In order to be rated as fourth- and fifth-class subordinates, many wealthy gentry even spent money to manage officials, just to pay less taxes every year.

As a result, ordinary people like Jiang Sanlang are the unlucky ones.

Chun Niang began to worry again. "If this gets upgraded and our taxes go up, what if they no longer accept gold ears?"

"If we don't accept it, we will sell it elsewhere." Jiang Sanlang was not afraid at all. "Anyway, it doesn't cost much to grow golden ears. As long as we can sell them, we will make a profit."

He had never done business before and was always worried about this and that. Now that he has money in his hand, he is full of energy and his back is straight when he walks outside.

Chun Niang thought about it carefully and felt that what her husband said was reasonable, so she felt relieved a little.

"Then build the courtyard wall higher. The Nanshan side is secluded and not safe after all."

"That's natural."

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if it is built, we won't move in for the time being. When next spring, we will move in with my eldest and second brothers."

The sky is filled with summer colors, and the leaves of the trees are moving with the sound of autumn.

Autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye.

After the autumn harvest, as soon as the winter wheat was planted, the three Jiang brothers started building a house in Nanshan, so that the whole village came to help.

For no other reason than to provide the Jiang family with a meal of rice and fragrant pork stew for lunch.

For a time, Nanshan was bustling with activity.

Those who build the courtyard walls, those who chop and transport bamboo, those who help make fires and make food, those who pick up stones to lay the foundation, and those who go further to dig stone slabs, there is an endless stream coming and going.

Yingbao stayed at home with her two younger brothers and did not go to Nanshan, but listened to her mother-in-law coming back every day to talk about the progress of her house construction.

Because it was built by three brothers together and built in a row, the scale of the houses looks particularly spectacular.

More than a month later, the house in Nanshan was finally completed. A few days later, the courtyard walls were built and the doors and windows were installed.

But no one can live in it yet, because the new house must wait for the moisture to dissipate before it can be moved in.

It happened that the last batch of golden ears was ripe at this time, so Jiang Sanlang and his wife hurriedly harvested and dried them.

In such a busy time, I forgot about my two sons' first birthdays.

"Just have a bowl of longevity noodles, whatever is your birthday?"

Jiang Sanlang didn't take it seriously and said, "Their father's birthday is never celebrated."

Chun Niang glared at him angrily, but didn't say anything. She actually cooked a few bowls of noodles, with two poached eggs on them, and the whole family was full.
