Chapter 618
Sure enough, as soon as Li Zheng's words came out, everyone seemed to be exploding, and many women were even more frightened, and they cried bitterly after a long while, "God, this is to let us ordinary people die. It’s almost time to get rid of the pot.” Cries and cries like this can be heard endlessly.

Aunt Jiu and Liu Fengnian stood beside Liu Shi, while Xiao Xing'er went to hold Su Qin's hand. The conditions of the two families were considered good, and the Su family was not within the scope of conscription. However, seeing everyone miserable His expression and complexion are very bad.

"Sister-in-law, these days are getting worse and worse. Your family has two sons, Fengnian and Fengtian, and brother Jiu is also in the scope of conscription. If you don't get enough money, I still have some money here." Liu patted Pat Ninth Aunt's hand and said.

"Hey, if I use it, I will open my mouth. The court lord does not let us people live. Before the poll tax, the villagers sold a lot of land. Now the young seedlings have finally grown. The weather is good. I just waited for the autumn harvest to calm down, but I didn’t expect that the military service and corvee service came again, and the last conscription was less than a year ago, so the world is going to be in chaos again?” Aunt Jiu felt a little confused when she said this Fear, what the common people fear most is war.

"Who knows? Didn't you hear what I said? It's Dayuan. Although our place is not close to Yanhe Mansion, it's not far away. The military service on the frontier doesn't come from us, where else will they come from?" Liu Shi I heard something from my husband, and I know that the border is not peaceful, and it is not certain that it will become chaotic, so I finally have something in my heart.

Everyone chattered endlessly, and they were having a headache, "Everyone can't do anything about it, they all go home to discuss and discuss. We will leave after ten days of corvee service, and after fifteen days of military service. We have discussed it and reported it to my house." Put your name on it, or hand over the money, that's enough, that's enough, let's go, let's go."

Lizheng was also troubled in his heart. The imperial court asked for money for conscription every three days. It was getting more and more difficult for him to do business here. He lived in the same village and watched everyone sell land or even children. Selling women, you can feel better.

Aunt Jiu sent all the children home, and went to Lizheng with the money in her hand. Didn’t I hear that there is a quota for this silver agent? If it’s not too late, her husband and son will be dragged away went to serve.

After returning from Lizheng's home, Liu Shi was in a very bad mood. There were faint crying sounds from many people she met along the way, as well as the crying of children. I am afraid that someone has already started selling children. It's the woman's idea.

"Mother, how's the situation? Are there many people using silver as servants?" Su Qin saw that Mrs. Liu had returned, and quickly poured her a glass of water and asked.

"I haven't been there much with your ninth aunt. Except for our two families and your third uncle's family, that is, a few families that are doing well. I'm afraid the rest are still collecting money. I heard people The child is going to be sold, alas, why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life." Liu Shi wiped the corners of her eyes, feeling uncomfortable.

"Mother, tell me, is it okay for people in our village to pay these silvers?" Su Qin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, Xiahe Village is a small village with a small population. It is estimated that there are only thirty or so families left who can take out silver to replace military service and corvee service. After calculation, there are probably more than 13 taels of silver, and the family can still afford it.
