My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

On the way to the town, Xu Tianxin finally had the opportunity to have a general understanding of the town he was in.

It turns out that Helan Town covers an area and population distribution, so large that it is famous in Fucheng.

For example, there are more than 100 households in their village, even more in Wangjiagou, and in the early [-]s in Leijiawo. There are as many as twelve villages with more than [-] households in their town, which amounts to tens of thousands.Counting those small villages with dozens of households and the permanent population of the town, Helan Town is qualified to form a separate county.

But for some reason, it is still under the management of Pingzhou County.

Xu Tianxin guessed that the tax may be too low, or it may be that the imperial court has always had other arrangements for the ownership of Helan Town and even Pingzhou County.

So how should such a large town be managed?Their town is quite far from the county, so they can't go to the county to report everything.

Liu Laozhu saw that Xu Tianxin was very interested, so he explained: "There is a yamen of the township office, called the Zhisuo. It's bigger than the Hebosuo I took you to that day. You'll see it in a while. It's on Donger Street. The biggest official is Zhenting, he is in charge of Lizheng like us."

Xu Tianxin immediately understood that in modern times he was called the mayor, but here he is called the town pavilion, and Liu Bang used to be the pavilion chief.

"Then does he have a rank?"

"Yes, our town is different from other small towns. They are the ninth grade of seriousness."

Liu Laozhu never told anyone that his dream was to be a town pavilion.

It's so majestic, even if they are upright, they have a lot of salary.

He is not like Wang Lizheng, who has a background and looks down on a small town or the little salary, he likes it, the main thing is that we don't earn black money for killing people and stealing goods, is two taels of silver on the surface a month not enough?
"Lizheng like us have a lot of worries throughout the year. There are only grain, firewood, and paper (travel), which is not enough for this old cow.

And if you have a rank, you will have everything, as much as you can think of spending money, they will make up for it, and even the servants will give back [-] copper coins a month. "

These words really make Mei Zhuang unimaginable.

Liu Laozhu is always envious when he mentions it.

Here, if you want to raise maids and servants at home, if it is not in the form of renting short-term and long-term workers, but in the form of buying and selling, you will have to pay a lot of servant tax to the servants you buy every year.Unless the family is very rich, if you think of paying a lot of taxes for the servants to eat, drink and drink, you will feel taken advantage of. You should do the dirty and tiring work at home by yourself.

Liu Laozhu turned his head to look at Xu Tianxin, gossiping: "Your Uncle Zhao also has a rank. Apart from Zhenting, he is the only one in the town who has a rank. The rest are called officials. Does your grandma know about this? "

Xu Tianxin was in the live broadcast, and when he heard that he stopped watching his family swiping the screen, he quickly shook his head at Liu Laozhu.

"I'll tell you later, he is from Jiupin. He used to do Dutou and transferred to our town. What is Dutou, do you understand, girl?" Liu Laozhu also went to the county last time. Just mentioned it to know.

Xu Tianxin thought that she should understand, because the family members in the live broadcast responded every sentence:

Who, Wu Song, isn't he the head of the capital, who manages a hundred or so people, and belongs to the last level of the establishment.

That Zhao Dashan has transferred from his position in the military camp.

Some family members asked, from the ninth rank, what level should Zhao Dashan be in modern times.

Someone answered: deputy at township level.

So for Xu Tianxin, a few hours' journey is not lonely at all.

Liu Laozhu said here that she wants to answer, and she also needs to be distracted to watch her family members chatting in the live broadcast room.

Arriving at the entrance of the city tower where I used to be A Piao, the crowds are still mostly in rags, and there are also many cattle cars waiting for people here.

Liu Laozhu first found the cart to go to Lei's nest, handed the other five copper coins and asked him to send a letter to Lei Lizheng.

The letter involved a lot of content, and Liu Laozhu was painting.

He drew a big bastard running in a car, followed by a group of little bastards.I also drew a stone tablet of Wangjiagou Village, with a headless bastard next to it.I want to tell Lei Lizheng that no one is in charge of Wangjiagou Village at present.There are dragons without a leader, and he painted a king without a leader.

These two pages of pictures are attached, and the third page of blank paper is just a short line of words. He wants a lot of livestock grass to feed mules and cows.

Then Liu Laozhu dragged the ox cart and drove Xu Tianxin and Meizhuang to the treatment office.

Xu Tianxin didn't expect that the town office's yamen was quite big, and it looked much more formal than Hebo's.

The river pool I visited that day was set up by the river, like a house for ordinary people, with a large yard behind to store fishing salt.

And here are the gate, the ceremony gate, the main hall, the meeting hall, and the main room is the central axis. On the right is a big sign "Leading Supervisors and Taxes", and on the left is "Chasing Thieves."

Xu Tianxin felt that Grandpa Liu should be using Uncle Zhao's name to put on face.

Because Grandpa Liu suddenly introduced to her loudly: "The left side is all under your care, Uncle Zhao."

Following the sound, the yamen servant who led the way in front immediately turned around to take a look at her, and led them to the empty corridor between the two rooms to wait.

There's a row of stools here, and... a draft.

Since when did Xu Tianxin feel that Grandpa Liu was pitiful?
After sitting on the bench and waiting stupidly for two hours.

The yamen servant who led the way brought them three cups of hot water, and Grandpa Liu said to her and Aunt Mei Zhuang happily: "Usually when I come here, there are only a few cold days when someone can give you hot water. In this season, it can be seen For Zhao Butou's face."

Then the three clerks who dealt with the land deed and house deed tax finally came back. Liu Laozhu signaled Mei Zhuang and Xu Tianxin not to follow, and he waved his hand before going in.

Then Xu Tianxin saw that Grandpa Liu bent over those clerks who obviously had no rank, smiled apologetically, turned around and offered to help them close the door.

The moment he was about to close the door, Xu Tianxin heard Grandpa Liu calling those people one by one, talking about New Year's greetings, saying that those three people had worked hard.

What's the hard work? According to the leading yamen servant, it seems that he just came to work.

Xu Tianxin and Meizhuang looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: I don't know if it can be done.They bought the wasteland this time in order not to leave a story for others, and the procedures are quite complicated.

When she was at home, she heard from her grandma that Grandpa Liu should first set up one and pay according to the number of acres of wasteland, and then issue a certificate to prove that the wasteland has too many tree roots and it is impossible to open up wasteland for farming. The purpose is to build a house, and then pay a room tax, so that the land area costs less money and the house is reasonable, so it is all her family.

And if they buy wasteland directly according to the housing, the area they buy is too large. In that case, it will cost twice as much money inside and outside.

After a stick of incense, Xu Tianxin saw Grandpa Liu waving his hand to tell her and Aunt Mei Zhuang to go in, but he was still coaxing the clerks: "Please trouble me."

"Can you write?"

Liu Laozhu hurried over to help Xu Tianxin and Meizhuang sign, "These are all children from our village, I will sign."

It's just that when he bent down, Xu Tianxin had already signed his name with his handprint, and even helped Aunt Mei Zhuang to write it.

The three clerks looked at Xu Tianxin in surprise, but Liu Laozhu didn't even care about the surprise, because he was blocking with his body, signaling the two children to pick up the official deed with three big red stamps, even his Pick up a copy too.

At the same time, Zhang Luo said to the three clerks: "Let's go, brother, the fragrance is ten miles away."

"You old guy, you have troubled us so much, and it's only ten miles of fragrance? You are too embarrassed."

Liu Laozhu's face was full of smiles, and he gritted his teeth in his heart: "I'm wrong, what kind of head am I? I'm old and talk, I must Liuhelou!"

Xu Tianxin saw on the land deed that it was written that her family's 11 taels of silver had just been spent, and if it was a treat, Grandpa Liu would spend the money himself.

In the private room on the second floor of the Liuhe Building, Xu Tianxin squeezed in together while Xiao Er was serving the food. There was a live broadcast through the screen that Grandpa Lizheng had already drunk half a jar of wine, watching the waiter in the shop move up one jar after another. It is estimated that today's appointment will get drunk.

The family members in the live broadcast room lamented: It is unavoidable in modern times, let alone in this hierarchical ancient times, it is really difficult to do something.

Xu Tianxin exited the private room silently, but Xiao Er called her on the stairs, handed over two oil-paper bags and said, "Your grandfather bought them for you, he said that if you don't want to take a walk, you can wait downstairs, and if you want to take a walk, you can come back in an hour." Find him."

Xu Tianxin told him to go outside to buy some things.When I opened the oiled paper bag downstairs, I realized that it was a meat bun stuffed with pork and green onion.

She hasn't eaten pork since time travel, not to mention, it's so delicious, the bun skin has been soaked in oil.

And she and Aunt Mei Zhuang have four buns each.

Liu Laozhu: He can invite those people to dinner, and he is short of the steamed stuffed bun money of the two children downstairs.

Xu Tianxin only ate one, and wrapped the remaining three in oiled paper, planning to take them home to his grandma and aunt.

Mei Zhuang ate two and left two. She planned to go to the village and leave in the arms of Mrs. Sai Xu.You ask her man?She used to be delicious, but men are too used to it, she is changing.

But today is destined to be a day that makes the family members in the live broadcast room feel bad.

Mei Zhuang waited outside with the bullock cart.

Xu Tianxin was urged by his family to go and buy the toothbrush and toothpaste he was thinking of. Grandma brought you money this morning and told you to buy it, but when you walked into a little red rouge shop, you got a cold reception.

The proprietress of the rouge shop knew at a glance that Xu Tianxin was not a customer group.

Because of her parents, this girl's hair can be damaged like dry grass, and she can afford anything in her store?

There is also dark skin, which means that she has been engaged in manual labor for many years since she was a child, and it also means that the girl in front of her has no possibility of a miraculous encounter as told in the book, for example, which lady is in trouble.What's more, he was dressed so shabby, with one or two on his body... The proprietress was counting the patches on Xu Tianxin's body.

So when the girl in the shop was going to meet the guests, she stopped her.

"busy?"

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy tooth powder, where is it, can I have a look."

Xu Tianxin really couldn't tell which small clay pot contained tooth powder, and he didn't even have experience in his memory.

At this time, she was quite surprised, these bottles and jars are so beautiful, please watch more and broadcast live to her family.

Is this little basket filled with the legendary bath beans?
That looks like nectar water.

Xu Tianxin's hand unconsciously touched a small gourd-shaped ceramic pot. She was about to ask what was in it. She really liked this small pot, but the proprietress of the rouge shop grabbed it and covered her mouth with a handkerchief He said: "This is face cream, and it costs two taels of silver. The cheapest tooth powder costs half a tael of silver. When you buy the tooth powder, you also need a toothpick. Do you still want to see it?"

Xu Tianxin is the rouge shop that left in the two different voices of the family members in the live broadcast room.

One is: just buy it, let her open it, arrange the tooth wipes one by one, and let her take care of the bureau, you motherfucker.

One is: don’t buy it, it’s awesome for her, what a great thing, the toothbrush is designed to look like a shoe brush, if she wants that crap, let’s go home and make it myself.

What made Xu Tianxin more responsive was that the proprietress covered her mouth with a handkerchief, as if she was afraid of something strange about her body.

She didn't buy it, she had salt, and she couldn't use willow branches to wipe her teeth and rinse her mouth when she went back.

And this little episode was nothing to Mei Zhuang, the whole village didn't brush their teeth, and she was a bit more particular, rinsing their mouths with plant ash water or charcoal water.

But when Xu Tianxin was chased away by Xiaoer of the book shop again, Mei Zhuang felt a little uncomfortable.

Because she could guess from the fact that Xu Tianxin signed the certificate for her just now, and that she was faster than Liu Jingdong, who was serious about studying, and that Tian Xin was young and extremely intelligent.If he could send him somewhere to study abacus and buy a few more books to learn, Tian Xin would be more than enough to be a shopkeeper.

Mei Zhuang wondered: How many books should I buy?She doesn't understand any of this.She still has the last five taels of silver left by her parents. Should I go back and persuade my aunt to buy books for Tian Xin?

Mei Zhuang thought that he could learn it by reading a book, but there is a saying that there is a house of gold in a book.

In the end, the day ended with Meizhuang carrying Liu Laozhu home on his back.

Liu Laozhu's vomit was also all over the board.

When Mrs. Xu heard from Mei Zhuang that her granddaughter was asked by the bookshop’s waiter if she wanted to buy a book, and if she didn’t buy it, please go out; when she heard from Mei Zhuang that her granddaughter didn’t even buy tooth powder because of her poor clothes, and she was looked down upon by the old lady at the rouge shop in the town. ; When she heard her granddaughter say that Liu Laozhu was embarrassing enough by those who handled the land deed, she remained silent for a long time.

On the second day, she and her fourth uncle provoked the leaders of the village again.

The old lady Xu waved her arms and instructed the villagers: "Pickle sauerkraut, pickle pickled vegetables, hug more horse grass, more ulagrass, pick more mushrooms, use all the money in your hands to buy food, start signing up now..."

The fourth uncle leaned on a walking stick and shouted at the strong laborers: "Pluck the head of the house, go up the mountain to cut the purlins and put up the beams, and the adobes from each family will be handed in, and the boys will dig the foundation. The straw roof is made of loess for the wall, and the loess kang is stronger than the bed. I build a house like this!"

The people in the village were very confused, they felt that Erdaohe Village had contracted some big job, they didn't see that Lizheng came back after drinking like that last night.

At this time, Liu Laozhu left everything in the village and began to walk around writing IOUs and arrears.

He knocked on the door of Bai's house, a wealthy scholar's family in Shiliba Village, and there was a clay pottery workshop in Bai's house. He explained that he wanted to buy a lot of large vats, and he could use the defective ones for his own use, that is...

The head of the Bai family accepted the words, anyway, it's not easy to sell, so use it first, and then calculate the money at the end of the year.

Liu Laozhu hurriedly wrote an IOU to someone, thanking him very much.

On this day, Liu Laozhu also wrote seven taels of IOUs to the well-drilling team, and Li Zheng, who helped collect adobes in various villages, also wrote six IOUs for exchanging fish for adobes.

But he settled all the brick money for the clay brick kiln first.

Because he saw that there were many boys from Erdaohe village working in this black brick kiln.

These boys eat black dry food that will kill people if they eat too much, drink soup that is not much better than swill, and their daily wages are only twenty copper coins. People say it's good outside, but it turns out they're all here.

I heard that they can't go back now, and the black brick kilns don't give them wages.

So when Liu Laozhu bought bricks, he talked with people. I want so many bricks, and I can pay them in one lump sum, but you have to settle the wages for the boys in my village and let them go immediately.

And this side of Erdaohe village, many boys who work in black brick kilns have also seen Liu Laozhu.But to be honest, they didn't have any hope of repaying Li Zheng, and they didn't even complain about their grievances. They just continued to work numbly.

But never expected that after a while, the owner of the brick kiln asked everyone to stop.

"From Erdaohe Village, come here to pay your wages, your village is coming to pick you up and go home!"
