"Father," Huang Laigui said quickly: "The rules are strict now, and gambling and drinking are not allowed. My son's current money can be saved."

As he said that, he took more than ten guan from his arms and handed it to his mother, saying, "Now my brothers and two of them are all consuming the imperial grain and official salary. My son is twenty guan a month. To be honest, the officials in the town we lived in before were not as profitable as my son now. With the money he has now, are you afraid that you can't say you're a relative?"

"That's right." Huang's father nodded, looked at the whole family with his hands behind his back and smiled and took the money off. He was also quite relieved.

Huang's father continued, "The money of your brothers is handed over to your parents for collection. You are the eldest. I thought about it. In the past two years, we can pay back the money of this house and build three more west rooms in the open space in the courtyard. At that time, your mother and I live in the west wing. You can get married first and live in the main hall. In another year, save money and then make a yard like this. You move out and ask your brother to come and live with my two elders. From then on, we will take turns to live at your brother's house. In a few years, we will grow old and cannot work, so we have to rely on you to support us."

At this time, parents' orders are generally not allowed to be disobeyed. Those who are sons can fight for a small amount, but many major issues are still subject to the mastery of the family.

If we look at it in detail, Huang Laigui will definitely suffer a loss. His second brother Laifu's monthly salary is only four cents, which is far inferior to Huang Laigui. Even if his second brother became an officer, his monthly salary is not as high as Huang Laigui.

However, the soldiers have a very noble status within the Nan'an Hou Mansion system. Huang Laigui knew that his parents were cared for and treated preferentially in Baihu Village. The status of brothers' soldiers also played a significant role. During festivals, officials would send officials to visit the soldiers' families and give them meat, wine and food. Just this one, brothers' monthly salary was less than that of themselves, and Huang Laigui did not plan to worry about it.

"Dad, don't be in a hurry." Huang Laigui said: "I want to do something well this year, and strive to be the merchant captain of the merchant ship in the navy of Nan'an Marquis's Mansion. I will go west, either Luzon, or Sanfoqi and Lanfang. I will not go west. It is a bit dangerous. Siam, Laos, and Myanmar countries do not go, because the profit is too small. If I can ask me to run the Japanese route and become the captain, I will probably have a dividend of 1,000 yuan a year. If so, our family can apply for more than ten acres of land and build a big house by themselves. The whole family will live together, which is not better than living separately?"

People these days have different families, but according to the tradition of Fujian Road, it is generally not the same as the ones.

"Let's talk about this." Huang's father waved his hand, not complaining about Huang Laigui's suggestions, and signaled that the topic was put aside first. His son had a promising future and could even make plans for the future, which made Huang's father very satisfied. He had studied for several years. The Great Wei Dynasty was not as sad as it is now. Ordinary people would send their children to study for several years, so they should not open their eyes. However, when Huang Laigui and Xu Zixian were young, Huang's father did not have the financial resources to do such things, which became a hidden pain in his life.

Especially when seeing both brothers become rude men, only those who are fathers will understand this feeling of heartache.

Now, my son speaks gracefully and politely. It is said that people under the Nan'an Marquis Mansion have to force themselves to read and read... Even the second son, who is a little confused, has been able to write letters from his own house recently, which is even more commendable.

Although I wrote four of the ten words wrongly, and I was as big as a walnut, and I didn’t write a few words on more than a dozen pieces of paper, even such a letter made Huang’s father cry with joy.

The income gap between the two brothers is now large. If Huang Laigui said, the gap will be even bigger in the future, Huang's father still plans to separate the family.

Huang's father still reads books without worrying about being weak and uneven.

If both brothers marry their wives in the future, then the women will argue about their income and their contributions to the family, but their sons will be bad, and their parents will be shameless.

It's better to separate the family.

Huang's father had made a decision in an instant, but it was not good for his son to hurt his heart. He smiled and said, "Come in and help me roast jujube slices."

"Dad wants to make a bow?" Huang Laigui followed his father into the kitchen. The house was full of firewood and bunches of grass, and the yard outside the house was piled with bunches of grass like hills.

"Well, I have to make a bow," Huang's father said with a smile: "Originally, I was in my hometown, I had a bow. Now people say that the bow is weak. At this age, I can't drive ten strengths anymore, and I have to have at least eight strengths, otherwise I will ask me to leave the club... I can only find good zhemu and make one by myself."

"There are all raw lacquer, glue, and strings?"

"There's it." Huang's father said: "The neighbor hunted a big deer a while ago. Each family gave two kilograms of meat. The skin was paid for four jin of money. The remaining meat was smoked and eaten slowly by the family. It was so enviable."

Huang Laigui laughed when he heard this. His father entered the Archery Club when he was a teenager. Originally, the Great Wei Dynasty gave preferential treatment to the men who joined the club. The men who joined the club practiced for two seasons every spring and autumn, one for ten days a day. If there was a military operation to suppress the thieves, they could send troops with the wing army or get rid of corvee service.

After reaching Chengzong, in addition to joining the army to repay corvee labor, the original discount gradually disappeared, the court was short of money, and there was no previous trust in the civilian bow and arrow organization...

In the Great Wei Dynasty, the officials and the people were united, and there were bow and archery clubs everywhere. The government took the initiative to organize the people to form associations and practice martial arts, and it was not necessarily a fear and could not sleep.

Today's Emperor Chongde said that he was respecting virtue, but in fact he had no talent and no virtue. He exploited the people in every way. There were dozens of taxes, which made the people breathless. The more taxes they paid, the more distrust the government, and indeed, there were more and more bandits in various places. A few years ago, the bow and arrow club in Fujian was also forced to disband. Huang Laigui watched his father hide the bow and arrow under the bed, as if he had hidden some of his past faith.

Now it is different... The various measures of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion seem to have the style of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is even better.

Such an official is certainly not afraid of the people holding weapons, and even encourages the people to organize, which can be used to fight against bandits and the government.

It doesn't matter.

Huang Laigui didn't know that Xu Zixian's philosophy was that if an official asked the people to organize their resistance, its meaning of existence would be zero.

Even the Great Wei of Xu and the Great Wei of Emperor Taizu.

"The wood chips need to be baked slowly to discharge all the moisture..." Huang's father slowly guided him and slowly turned the slabs of jujube wood chips into pieces and bake them.

Bow making is a science. Not only does the bow body need to be baked, but the lacquer, strings, corners, and lacquer are all knowledgeable.

It usually takes at least about half a year for a good bow to be used from the beginning of production to the molding.

If it is a more particular treasure bow, it is not surprising to take a few years to make it.

Huang's father once made many hard bows. When he was old, he felt that his muscles and bones were weak, so he made a soft bow, which was usually used for hunting occasionally.

The soft bow has up to five forces, which is really not very useful.

Seeing his father skillfully flipping the bow, adjusting the angle, and matching the qualified horn ribs, the prototype of a hard bow appeared. Huang Laigui felt a little moved. He had just felt that he had made the right decision before, but now he couldn't help but speak: "Dad, mother, doing things for the Nan'an Marquis Mansion is the most appropriate thing I have done since I was a child."

"That's right." Huang's father nodded repeatedly and said, "Hello, you were born in the Hou Mansion fleet. Your mother and I live a good life, so you don't need to worry..."

After this time, Huang Laigui felt that he had nothing to worry about, and was even quite relieved.

Before, at sea, no matter what, I would have worried about my parents, either not being able to keep food and clothing, or being bullied and insulted. Now it seems that these worries are redundant, and the rest are some details.

"You have to hang the tattoo, don't save this money..." Huang Laigui said to the doctors who came with the boat, asking his parents to be careful of mosquitoes and beware of plagues. Once they get sick, most young people can survive it, and older people can't bear it.

Huang's father smiled and said, "I've forgotten that I didn't say this. After a while, the hundreds of households nearby all came out of the army. The people from the Archery Club and the guards guarded me. I heard that a small team of cavalry came from the Nan'an Mansion. We went to the southeast to burn the wasteland and burned the hills there and the shrubs and weeds at the foot of the mountain."

"Son is going together, too." Huang Laigui was excited and said, "Since you catch up, of course you have to put in some effort."

At this time, the sound of drums came from outside. Huang's father hesitated and said, "Time is up. I will use this soft bow. You want to go. What should I do if there is no bow or arrow?"

"There is no bow and arrow, I have a hard bow over there, for Brother Huang."

A voice came from the gate of the courtyard. Huang Laigui quickly walked out. The man was a man in his thirties and less than forty years. He had a similar stature to Huang Laigui. The two of them crossed their hands to greet him. The man said, "Is this brother Laigui? I have met brother Laifu once, what a big man."

Huang Laigui smiled and said, "Is this Brother Li? My brother eats coarse grains and wild vegetables with me every day, but he is a big man that ordinary people cannot reach. Brother Li is also a good man."

"We are neighbors in Zhuang, so there is no need to be polite. We may have to be neighbors for a long time in the future." Li Guozhu smiled. Since he arrived in the Dongfan, he first lived in Nan'anxi. Most of the early refugees built tarpaulin tents and then kept building houses under the leadership of Dr. Lin Jiusi and others.

Then the lottery was drawn to determine the order of residence. Li Guozhu was very lucky and was drawn to the eleventh round. Then, when the living sites here were demolished one by one, the new settlements were changed to 100 households, Li Guozhu and his family were assigned to the 1100 households.

There is no need to worry about anything. Originally, the refugees in Zhangzhou were quite together, but later they were dispersed. Now there are more than ten refugees in Zhangzhou. The remaining ones are the original residents of Dongfan, immigrants in Fuzhou, soldiers from Xinghua, Penghu, and 100 households are divided into several states, more than a dozen counties, and more than twenty counties. Almost no region can be grouped together, which effectively prevents the large clans or regions from bullying foreigners.

Because the battle was too scattered, the new neighborhood relationship was quite good. In addition, the Nan'an Hou Mansion intended to guide each other, emphasizing that neighbors should help each other, and to form hundreds of households and small banners, that is, to ask each household to organize the small banners to watch over each other and help each other.

Modern society is atomized, and it is normal for living in a building for ten years to not call out the name of a neighbor. Xu Zixian neither wants the old clans and village party forces to appear, nor does he want the people under his rule to be in a mess of scattered sand.
