306: Strength and Ambition [Please vote](1/2)
Taking the name "Zi" as its name is a good word, but the meaning of Yu Zi's name is not very good - "evil purple seizes vermilion" is taken from an article in the Analects of Confucius - "evil purple seizes vermilion";
Zheng Sheng's chaos is also the result of elegant music; his bad words bring down the country and the family.
"Purple" means defect...
It is not a normal color, but a five-color defect.
"Zhu" is the positive color, and "Purple" is the mixed color.
Therefore, this "Zi" is also given the meaning of "heresy" and "evil" in the eyes of the world. Yu Zi knew this but still named him "Zi", but in that village, the pair of "Aweng and Granny" also had the surname "
Zhu", which shows his stubbornness and determination.
If Heyin belongs to the poor mountains and poor waters, then Zhujia Village is the "best" among the poor mountains and poor waters. Most of the terraced fields cultivated near the village are poor fields with medium to low fertility, and there are few good fields.
Dozens of households in one village live deep in the mountains.
The village is extremely remote.
Because it is inconvenient to get in and out, except for those who go out to "do business", ordinary villagers have to wait until the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year to go to the market before leaving the village. They use the crops they grow in exchange for rice, grain, money or other needs. At first glance, it seems similar to
It’s no different from an ordinary village.
Kang Shi brought people over, and saw smoke rising from the scattered huts in the villages. Looking around, he saw three or two women in thin clothes bent over, picking up weeds in the fields. A dozen men were sitting at the head of the village gathering.
What to laugh and talk about together.
They saw Kang Shi and his party from a distance.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Kang Shi.
There was more curiosity and scrutiny on his face.
No fear or fear.
Zhujiacun rarely sees any strangers throughout the year, unless the son of a family wants to marry a bride when he reaches his age.
When did you see so many new faces at once?
In the past, the people they dealt with were common people dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes. But this was the first time they saw such elegant scribes as young men wearing brocade and fine clothes. There were dozens of people behind them, which they had never seen in their lives.
The biggest pomp.
Soon someone turned around and invited Muramasa. Muramasa was old, prestigious, and the most knowledgeable person in the village.
Muramasa lives near the village head and will be here soon.
Kang Shi secretly looked at the layout of the village.
When he saw the village chief, he didn't talk nonsense and directly showed the document with the seal of the governor of Heyin County to the village chief: "The governor wants to build Fugu City, and the city is in urgent need of manpower. He ordered me to go to various villages to recruit people. Please trouble the village chief.
Everyone in the village, old and young, shouted out."
Muramasa was a little surprised when he heard this.
In my heart, I frowned and beat my drum in sorrow.
Is this going to impose corvee again?
Muramasa respectfully took the document, but did not go down immediately to follow it. Instead, he asked what he was wondering: "It's not that the common people are questioning the messenger, it's just that Zhujiacun's information is blocked and not communicated to the outside world. I don't know when He Yin came again."
A new Sheriff?"
Kang Shi replied: "My Lord has not been in office for a long time, and he is very busy with secular affairs. He has not yet had time to issue documents to notify various places within his jurisdiction."
Muramasa heard this and said no more.
From what I hear, this new county governor is really new.
However, he has been the mayor of Zhujia Village for more than 20 years and has seen much more than the mud-legged people in the village. The word "county officer" sounds very powerful, but the county governor of Heyin is actually a
A useless flower stand.
Not only is it useless, it's also very short-lived.
"The envoy will be waiting for a moment, let's go and do it now." Muramasa felt quite scornful in his heart, and asked, "But, how long will the corvee be served this time?"
Kangshi was still an old fox at a young age. He could see at a glance the perfunctory thoughts underneath Muramasa's seemingly worried face, so he smiled and said: "This time it is not a corvee. My Lord has spent a lot of money to recruit hungry people, but the manpower is still insufficient, so he ordered me to
Come here."
"If Muramasa can help me recruit one more person, I can get ten more silver coins." Kang Shi took out a large piece of broken silver from his sleeve.
Muramasa's heart skipped a beat.
He lowered his voice and said, "Is the envoy serious?"
Kang Shi said: "Nature is true."
When Muramasa heard this, he suppressed his racing heart, suppressed the greed that was about to burst out, and pretended to be worried.
Kang Shi also talked about how much food a person could earn by working for five hours a day. The people watching and eavesdropping not far away became jealous. The village leader was completely convinced. Now the weather is cold and the first snow has fallen. Zhujia Village
People of all ages stay at home doing nothing, only coming out to bask in the sun when the weather is nice.
It is completely a state of sitting still and having nothing to gain, only getting out but not getting in.
The harvest has been getting worse and worse in recent years.
The amount of rice paid in is increasing.
Every household is too poor to open the pot.
He read the document carefully. He didn't know much about literacy, so it was a bit difficult to read it, but he could still understand it, and it was exactly what the messenger said. Muramasa passed the news on, and asked each family to read it.
Hudu brought people out to gather.
He also returned home to find his son.
Tell the old lady about the good things.
The old woman looked hesitant.
"Yao'er is going too?"
Muramasa said: "Of course I have to go."
The old woman said: "But my daughter-in-law has only been here for a month and a half, and her stomach hasn't moved yet. My son is about to go out..."
The Muramasa family has three sons.
The eldest son and the second son have already married and separated, and the younger son just got a new wife a few days ago. In order to have children as soon as possible to continue the family line, I listened to the Muramasa couple and stayed in the house with their new wives every day. It was a busy time for the farmers, and there was nothing else.
thing.
Muramasa was silent for a long time after hearing this.
In order to solve the life-long problem of their younger son, the two elders, the eldest and the second child all worked together to find a youngest and daughter-in-law.
Because of the small amount of money given, this youngest daughter-in-law has given birth to babies twice, and she is no longer just a young lady.
They and the youngest are not satisfied with this.
But some people said that the youngest daughter-in-law's two offspring from her previous family were both healthy, white and fat boys. She had a huge butt and could give birth to a male grandson with just a move of her legs. She said it was effortless and not delicate at all.
If you weren't old, would you still want to buy it with this money?
Muramasa hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and buying it.
Now I hope that the youngest daughter-in-law will be able to live up to her expectations and give birth to two children. After his death, he will be able to rest in peace and see his ancestors.
Thinking of this, Muramasa felt a little regretful.
What's a pity?
It's a pity that the pretty widow died a few years ago.
If that thing hadn't happened, I could have shamelessly asked my old brother about it, and asked that old brother's pretty widowed daughter-in-law to be my youngest's daughter-in-law. That way I would have saved money and still have a free and enlightened gentleman...
…
Tsk tsk.
It's a pity that the youngest hadn't grown up yet at that time.
He squinted at the old woman and said fiercely: "What do you know?"
Then he said: "Call the youngest here."
The villagers in Zhujia Village also said that the good news was passed down. After a while, someone came to ask if it was true or not. When they learned that it was true, they showed a simple and silly smile on their faces and said: "I want one too, I have the strength."
Mighty at work.”
A fellow villager smiled and said, "Just you?"
I don’t know how many people to recruit, but if I recruit the best of them all, if I only select the best few, then everyone around me will be competitors.
He was annoyed: "Why can't I do it?"
Another fellow villager laughed and said: "How come you can do it? How long has your wife been here and she is still taking advantage of her?"
Zhujiacun held two marriages this year.
One is the youngest son of the Muramasa family.
One is this man.
The youngest son is much younger than this man, and his wife has already become obedient. The couple stay at home every day without seeing anyone, but this man, on the other hand, is scratched by his wife every day, causing wounds on his left side and scars on his right side. There is a scene in the village.
all know.
The man became angry from embarrassment: "Humph, she behaved yesterday."
Another person said: "If we brothers hadn't given you some advice, how would she have behaved? The daughter-in-law you bought is going to be beaten to death. If she is beaten too much, she will become obedient. You provide for her,
She just rubs your nose in your face and wants to steal someone..."
The man looked educated.
To be continued...
