Nongmen prostitutes are adorable

Chapter 7 Countermeasures
007 Countermeasures
"The imperial court issued an official document, and each household collected one serviceman.

We are good, because the taxation is much more relaxed than other places when we are close to the capital, and fortunately the second child is a scholar, so our family only needs to pay 100 taels of silver and there is no need to send someone out.

But I heard that the frontiers have won successive battles, and our Beiying Kingdom has regained many small countries. The territory has become larger but the loss is also fast.

The village chief estimated that there would be another levy, and our generation would soon usher in a peaceful and prosperous age, which would last for a few years. "

Bai Dachuan looked at his three sons, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't support the second wife for nothing, and it really came in handy now.

The people in the room were not very happy when they heard this. Anyway, those rumors were nothing.

The Beiying Kingdom has a large population, is powerful, and is very warlike. How many years has this war been fought on and off?There are countless dead people!

Because the conscription has not been cut off for many years, the number of males in the common people is getting less and less, and there are so many who never return, and even the population is gradually declining.

Bai Dingfeng was very disturbed, and whispered something in Xiao Meng's ear, and Xiao Meng bit her lip.

"100 taels? Who can come up with so much money? Our family only has 20 taels of silver." Old Meng exclaimed.

As soon as Du Shi heard that money could be used, he began to think in his heart, then poked Bai Dinglu, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Bai Dinglu is timid, it's okay to do farm work, but he doesn't have the courage to go to the battlefield.

On weekdays, the daughter-in-law kills even the chickens at home. Although it is a bit embarrassing, she still said, "Father, mother, it is reasonable to say that the elder brother is the eldest son and he should not go. Besides, the elder sister-in-law is pregnant with a happy event, and she can't do without the elder brother.

I have many children and they are all young, besides, you and the elders know that I am so strong, I will die if I go here, how will they live as orphans and widows?
The family sold a lot of land because of military service, and now there are 15 acres of paddy fields left. If this is not possible, we can only sell another 3 acres. The rest is enough for us to live on. When my son grows up, let them open up wasteland. The family is slowly recovering.

After selling the field, you can get 36 taels of silver. Qiaoniang (Du Shi)’s family is not rich, so you can get 4 taels of silver at most, and you have to rely on your elder brother for the rest.”

Bai Dinglu made his statement, and Mrs. Du took advantage of the situation and began to wipe away tears.

Sifang didn't say a word, he still acted like a normal person, in short, anyone in the family can go to serve in the military, but Bai Dingfu definitely won't go, otherwise he will make a mess!

"100 is a lot of things, but if you don't have the fame of the second child as a scholar, let alone money, you have to pay one. Who knows that you are going to die when you go to the battlefield."

Bai Dachuan snorted coldly, he got angry when he saw his sons who didn't live up to expectations.

"What? That's still 60 taels short. Even if the mother is willing to take out all the money in the house, it's still 30 taels short. How can we make it up?!

In good conscience, I have added a lot to the family by weaving kang mats and my dowry for so many years, and my daughter can earn a little money in embroidery now.

The children will grow up soon, and there will still be plenty of places to spend money in the future. Even if I go back to my mother’s house and beg for death, I won’t be able to get the 60 taels.” When Xiao Meng heard that Sanfang was throwing the pot away, she became impatient. With red eyes, she sat on the kang covering her stomach and yelled loudly.

When the old Meng heard this, he also frowned, and the little Meng's natal family probably wouldn't give them any more money.

"What are you shouting about, listen to Dad."

Bai Dingfeng was also full of sorrows and joys today, just now he and Xiao Meng's plan was that as long as she gave birth to a son in this birth and could go back to her mother's house to lend 10 taels of silver, she would not mention the matter of remarrying a concubine again.

Regarding this tricky matter, he never expected that his younger brother would speak first, but relied on the family's land to solve a little bit of it, and the rest of the matter still fell on his elder brother!

Mrs. Du rolled her eyes, looked at Mrs. Meng and said, "Oh, I said sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Do you mean that the Bai family relies on you two to support them?

Isn't it just that there are a few dowry silvers, less than 20 taels of silver in total, need to talk about it every day? ! "

"You, I don't mean that. Today is not a day for quarreling, so don't stab me." Xiao Meng leaned back on the kang, looking like she was protecting her stomach. up!
Little Meng is more precious than the Queen Mother when she gets pregnant. Every time she gives birth, there are twists and turns. Forgot how she beat Bai Luoxia just now. Is she not afraid of losing the child? !

The old man frowned and smoked the pipe for a while without thinking about it.

Everyone was very anxious, but it was Bai Caiyun who said: "I'll just say sell that disaster star, why daddy is going to fight on a good day.

If you sell her, you will have money, and my father, third uncle, and fourth uncle don't have to go to war, and it will be no good to have her at home all the time.If selling her is not enough, the two little slaves can be sold! "

The room was silent for a while, Bai Caiwei lowered her head and smiled, knowing that this younger sister was a fool, so she was coaxed again with a few pieces of candy.

She is doing it for herself to marry a good family in the future. This calamity must not damage the reputation of her Bai family. It is best to die outside.

As for Ye Wanshuang's ability to take care of their family, if she doesn't sell it, she won't. It just so happens that she lacks a maid to serve her.

But Bai Luoxia's scourge must be taken away. She has been ridiculed by the ladies in the village several times. There is an ominous person in the family. How will she marry in the future? !So she can only let her silly sister be the first bird.

The people in the fourth room looked at Bai Caiyun and said nothing. Bai Jinfeng, who was sitting in the kang with the empress, was an old daughter of the old Meng family. Make pie.

She glanced at Bai Caiwei indiscriminately and sneered.

After a while, the old Meng coaxed all the children out. Of course, there must be no idiot Bai Dongsheng, Bai He, and Bai Xue here.

Generally speaking, Ye Wanshuang is not qualified to enter the house when talking about things in the family, and she is not allowed to come to the upper room, so she didn't know until Bai Luoxia was sold.

After the house was quiet, the old couple, the third son, and the daughter-in-law looked at each other without speaking.

Xiao Meng said: "Caiyun is right, the child Luoxia is indeed unknown, we have served in the military in the second year of her birth, if Dingfeng did not happen to meet that child, I am afraid we will not be able to survive these few years days of settlement.

Our ancestors were lucky for generations, and they didn't settle down in the poor country to avoid the soil, but our peasant family is so modest, and every family is not rich. With so many people in the family, we have to support the second house and a family in the town. Board and lodging, everyone has had a hard time living this day.

It's only been a few years since she issued the pestilence stick (meaning madness and madness) today, so she only has one meal, and she will serve in the military again!
As for Mrs. Ye, let's talk about it after I give birth. Now the family can't do without her to work. Baihe and Baixue are too young to sell at a high price. "

Little Meng didn't say anything about Erfang's family, because there are indeed scholars from Erfang's family, and some of them have a reputation as a scholar, which really makes them harden their backs in the village.

In addition, the scholar did bring some benefits to the family. For example, the military service this time is equivalent to halving. After all, their family is probably the first in the village to be able to spend money to reduce or exempt military service!
