The Prestigious Family’s Young lady and the Farmer

It turns out that everyone's face is not good, because this time we are calling everyone to go there, just for the corvée. And this corvée is not hard labor, it is the most tragic military service in corvée.

Men who are recruited in the range of 16-50, if there is more than one person in the family who agree with the range, they need to serve one person. There are many families in the village who are not separated, so there are many within the scope of echoing.

This time, even if the family was divided, even if they escaped the catastrophe, only one person would be recruited because a family needs to have two people in the same age range. Generally, after the separation of the family, there is only one pillar of the family, and the dolls are still young, so they are not within the scope of recruitment.

According to the scope, Lin Qingwan ruled out that the Yang family, the three-bedroom couple, and their family were not within the scope of recruitment. The closest people have been lined up, and the others are relatively close people, that is, Mr. Yang Er, the Daju family, and the Liuzhi family.

Yang Er's family is not divided. In the scope of recruitment, the Daju family is divided. When he is not there, the Liuzhi family has only one son, the Liuzhi man, but there is also Liuzhi's father-in-law. Lin Qingwan also didn't know how old Mrs. Liuzhi was, so she didn't know whether he was there or not.

Lin Qingwan finally understood why everyone's faces were sour. Although she didn't have to serve in the military, most of her close family members were within range, so how could she be in a good mood.

Of course, there is another kind of person who does not need to serve, and that is the person who is famous. Lin Qingwan only now understands why farmers place so much importance on fame.

The heavy corvée and the not-so-heavy land tax, the poll tax, were all levied on the peasants. If there is a person of fame and fame in the family, it can reduce a lot of burdens, and there is no need for corvée service. Of course, it doesn't mean that the whole family doesn't have to serve, it's just the one person who is famous.

Yang sighed and said that many people in the village were crying, and all the way back, every household was crying.

Lin Qingwan's house was far away at the end of the village, otherwise she could hear the crying outside while sitting in the house.

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but think of a poem by Du Fu she had read in her previous life——

The chariots, the horses Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. Ye Niang's wife went to see each other, and Xianyang Bridge was not seen in the dust. Qianyi stood up and cried, and the cry went straight to the sky. Those who pass by the road ask pedestrians, but the pedestrians are frequent. Or from the 15th North Fanghe to the 40th West Yingtian. When he left, he was wrapping his head, and when he returned, he was still guarding the side. Bianting bleeds into sea water, and Emperor Wu has no intention of opening the border. Don't you hear that the Han family has two hundred states in Shandong, and thousands of villages are born with Jingqi. Even if there are strong women hoeing and ploughing, Hesheng Longmu has nothing. Condition Fu Qin soldiers fought hard and were driven out of the same dog and jī. Although the elder asked, the servant dared to express his hatred. And now this winter, the Kansai died without a break. The county officials are urgently asking for rent, where will the rent and tax come from? Faith knows that having a boy is evil, but having a girl is better. Having a daughter is like marrying a neighbor, and having a man is buried with a hundred herbs. You can't see the head of Qinghai, and no one has collected the bones since ancient times. The new ghosts are troubled by the old ghosts crying, and the sky is rainy and wet.

Although the poem "Army Chariots" is aimed at the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Xuanzong used troops in Nanzhao, Yang Guozhong had dictatorship, lied about the military situation, and a large number of recruits caused public resentment. But compared to this time, it is almost the same. When encountering corvée labor, it is really better to have a boy than a girl. If you have a daughter, you can marry someone nearby, but if you have a boy, you die and are buried in the grass in the field. Not even a corpse was collected.

Military service, where is the war going to be?

The original owner, Lin Qingwan, had no memory of wars, but in her previous life, Lin Qingwan knew the horrors of ancient wars. When it comes to fighting, people at the top don't think it's a big deal, but the people at the bottom are all over the place.

If there are conscripts for military service, there will be those who evade military service, and when the number of refugees increases, factors of instability will increase. It's okay for the authorities to win, but if they fail, they will continue to do military service. At that time, there would not be such a wide range, and the age span would be wider. If it is a civil strife, it will cause wars in various places. When officials really fight, they don't care whether there are ordinary people here. It counts where they fight.

Xia Dacheng also thought of this point, and slowly explained, and comforted everyone, looking at the scope of military service, the situation is not bad.

Yes, it's not bad, at least no one in the family has been recruited. Even if he was scolded for being inhuman, he had to be thankful for that. As for other people, they are not able to manage at this time, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and there is no sympathy for others.

Ugh--

As for another point, not only Xia Dacheng, but also Yang Tiezhu thought of it. But he didn't dare to say it, for fear of worrying his family, he and Xia Dacheng looked at each other, and the two decided to hide it for now.

...

Everyone still ate dinner at Yang Tiezhu's house. The food was silent, and everyone seemed so heavy-hearted.

While we were eating, Mr. Yang Er came.

Yang Tiezhu greeted the second uncle to come and have some food. The second old man Yang had something in his heart and knew that he was here by accident, so he did not refuse and had dinner with everyone.

After they were all finished eating, Mr. Yang Er opened his mouth to say the purpose of this trip.

It turned out that Mr. Yang Er was here to borrow money. Borrowing money is still a matter of military service.

In the matter of corvée, although the scope of recruitment is peasants, if the peasants have money, they can not serve. You can use silver to serve, and to put it bluntly, you don't have to serve with money.

Of course, it's not that simple. Substituting silver for service is pricey. This price tag is not explicit, it is secretly set up by the county government in order to collect money.

The price is very high. In the case of labor, I heard from Yang that the previous example was five taels of silver per person. For military service, it depends on the number of conscripts. That is to say, when there are not many people in need, the money will be less. If there is a large shortage of people, or if the pressure is too tight, then the money will be reduced.

The money needed is very large, or even the county government dare not use silver as a servant.

This time, it can be seen from the recruiting range that the recruiting scope is very loose, only between 16-50. If it is a large number of recruits, the age range will be between 16-60, or if you see a man, you will be caught.

Yang and the others are young and have never seen such a scene, but some of the older generation in the village have seen such a large-scale 'lazhuang'. At that time, it was really called Aihong everywhere, and there were hardly any men over ten years old in the whole village.

This time, the lieutenant of the silver generation also showed his tone, fifteen taels of silver per person. Fifteen taels of silver is not a lot for the rich, but for the poor people, it is no less than the bottom of a coffin saved by a lifetime of hard work, or many people can't save so much silver in their lifetime.

Lin Qingwan rejoiced once again, fortunately they did business and saved a lot of money. Otherwise, when it comes time to use it but don't have it, it's really crying without tears.

Money can make ghosts run the mill, it seems that this sentence is used everywhere.

Mr. Yang Er's family has two sons of the same age. Mr. Yang Er himself has passed the age range, just over fifty, and is no longer within the scope of recruitment. One person needs fifteen taels, but in Lin Qingwan's opinion, it is not much.

Who would have known that after hearing the discussion between Mr. Yang Er and Mr. Yang and Yang Tiezhu, it turned out that the government did not calculate it this way. As long as your family decides to use silver as a substitute, that is how many people there are in the family. It doesn't mean that if you have two in your family, you spend money to buy one, and the other one doesn't need to be recruited. You spend money to buy one, only to say that this one does not need to serve, but it is also counted, and it is still counted as one of two draws, and the other one cannot escape without money.

In other words, it takes thirty taels of silver to want both of the two sons of Mr. Yang Er who do not have to serve.

I have to say, this government is very tricky. But there is nothing you can do, a poor and powerless common man can only recognize it.

This money, any of the three families present can take it. I have been doing business for more than a year, and each family has saved a lot of money.

Lin Qingwan's family spent about the same amount of money when they built a house and bought some extras, but they have saved more than 500 taels of silver in more than a year. Yang Tiegen and Yang's family paid less dividends, and each family received less than two hundred taels of silver.

The three families present at the scene usually hide deeply, but they are all people with small wealth. That's why everyone is so interested in the business of Lawei Xian, which can leave farming 800 miles away. It may seem that the profit is not big, and each restaurant sells 10 to 20 catties per day, but they can't stand the number of restaurants they develop. You can't make a big fortune, but you can still make a small fortune.

Mr. Yang Er's family has two daughters-in-law who work in the small workshop. He also knows how to start a small business together with these three families. However, he had no idea how much money other people could make from this business.

But the family really can't make up so much money, and the only place where I can think of borrowing money is here. What he planned was that there would be no family, and a few should be enough. Yang Tiezhu, Yang Tiegen, and the Yang family are not required to serve in the military, and the second old master Yang knew that, so he came to the door.

Yang shi didn't say a word, let the second brother not worry, she lent him the money. Since all the elders of the Yang family have spoken, the younger ones have not said a word.

The old man Yang Er was relieved and thanked the eldest sister again and again.

It must be the best thing to do in a hurry, so Mr. Yang took Mr. Yang Er back home to get the money. A few juniors felt relieved when they knew that they could use silver instead. At least it leaves a way for everyone to survive. As for if others can't get enough money, it's not something they can care about. They can't finish their own hearts, so how can they have extra time to sympathize with others.

☆、1.18|Exclusive release

Because of the conscription, almost no one in Luoxia Village or eight townships in a radius of ten miles can sleep, and there are not many people who cry all night long.

When recruiting corvés, they are usually notified in advance, so that each family arranges people to come out, and then when the call comes, they will go to the county government together with Lizheng to report.

It’s ok if you don’t go. When the time comes, report your name, and the county government will send someone to arrest you. You can run away, other people in the family fill in, fill in if the age is not old enough, and fill in if the male is not enough for the female. Of course, you can also run the whole family, which is commonly known as 'escaping'.

Those who evade military service must be blacklisted. If their origin is not recognized, they will not be given a household registration. People who do not have household registration elsewhere will not be accepted, and they will become refugees. The refugees had no land to grow and no food to eat, and in the end they all died. So it's not that there is absolutely no way to survive, and no one will escape from service.

After all, if you think about it this way, no family has only one son. If you go to one, you can at least keep one. This time is also the most chaotic time for every household in every village, because it is not easy for the elderly to decide who to let go and who not to go. So at this time, in addition to the mourning, there are the sounds of quarrels or fights from every household. No one is willing to die, even if the other party is a real brother.
