Chapter 4 Make a move
After several consecutive sunny days, the mountains and plains were covered with a layer of gold.The sorghum planted in the field has also matured, bending heavy ears of grain.

Beginning of the fall harvest season.

Wang Hua did not leave his hometown immediately, he stayed behind.

One is that although he hid Di Renjie and "bought" a piece of silver cake he painted.If you use it to spend the day, this is a lot of money, but if you use it to start a business, it is far from enough.

Wang Hua once converted it with the current prices, and the current per penny is only equivalent to less than 300 yuan in his previous life. If other factors are considered, it will not be enough to 400 yuan.In other words, this piece of silver cake is only a few thousand dollars, and what can it do if it enters Luoyang, the center of the world, full of countless dignitaries and dignitaries?
Even if he leaves, he must calculate clearly before he can leave.

There is another reason. There are dozens of acres of crops planted in the family, and he can't bear to bear all the burdens on his mother and eldest sister.Since the year before last, he has been trying to learn to do some farm work and help them a little when the farm is busy.

The only thing that made Wang Hua suspicious was that his father also came to the field. Although he was more involved in making trouble than helping, he finally woke up, put down his airs, and started working?

Time flies, and a few days pass by quickly.

Although it happened that the Du family came to withdraw the marriage, because Wang Yi put down his body and his temper seemed to be changing, he didn't use the bamboo sticks these days.Instead, the Wang family was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

However, the Wang family's bad luck did not end because of Wang Yi's change.After a few days, a big event happened.

Many people may think that in the early Tang Dynasty, there were only tens of millions of people, and there were fields to support more than one billion people in the future.In addition to the land equalization system of the Tang Dynasty, in order to be more fair, the imperial court also divided each family into nine classes, and each class received different taxes, so as to protect the best interests of the poor and prevent social conflicts from intensifying.Farmers should be able to live a good life.

But in fact it's as funny as fuck.

The first is the equal-field system.The rulers of the Tang Dynasty had a good idea. In the beginning, normal Ding households were given one hundred acres of land. Later, when the land was merged seriously, even the old men and children were given dozens of acres of land.But this one is just the ruler's obscenity.

In fact, the land controlled by the court of the Tang Dynasty was firstly unowned land and secondly unregistered land.It was okay at the beginning, the number of people was killed or fled because of the war, and two-thirds of them were lost, and countless powerful people were also killed.A lot of land is vacant.But later, the society stabilized and the population increased. At the same time, meritorious soldiers, ministers, and dignitaries were rewarded, further squeezing the land space.In fact, there are few prefectures and counties that actually distribute land according to the Tang Dynasty's land equalization order.In the end, it led to a result. In order to consolidate the land equalization order, the imperial court tried to squeeze the fields, and some farmers were allocated fields that were thirty or forty miles away. Think about it, don’t cultivate it, just run back and forth like this, There is no daylight.

Another important reason is that there is a shortage of fertilizers, and many lands have to adopt rotation measures because of the exhaustion of soil resources.There is a single type of food and the output is very low. Therefore, the same land could feed more than a billion people in Wang Hua's previous life, but it is very difficult to feed 5000 to [-] million people at this time.

That's it. Industry and commerce are still very backward. Of course, things are much better than before.Now the main source of income still comes from land.Although the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited the renting and selling of Yongyekou subfields, this prohibition had little effect.What further intensified the social conflicts was that these emerging common landlords, as well as the original big noble families, colluded with the government and held a large amount of land and wealth in their hands. When classifying their families, they divided their families into inferior ones. Avoid all kinds of corvee taxes.But the taxes of a county have to be paid, so these taxes are all pressured on other civilians.

In some states and counties, because of the severe oppression, many people fled from their hometowns.

For example, Laoqinggou, the mountain village where Wang’s family is located, originally had only one hundred households. Later, due to the construction of a large number of porcelain kilns, a large number of workers were needed, and nearly a hundred households moved here and there. Most of the people who moved here were Made up of fugitives.

But in general, the annexation may be because Wu Zetian deliberately relaxed in order to win the support of emerging landlords. It has just begun, and the population has not yet reached its peak.All the contradictions have not become prominent, and the Tang Dynasty is still moving forward one after another.

Originally, when the Wang family was not in decline, it was the only large family among nearly [-] households in Qingshangou, standing out from the crowd.Taxes are also paid by the upper and second classes.But later, Wang Yi didn't know how to run a business, and because of his habit of gambling, the family property gradually declined. Gong County also kept downgrading his family, and finally became a middle-class second-class family.This is also because Wang Yi had close contacts with some officials in the county before the family property was lost. Perhaps Wang Yi also lost a lot of money to them.These officials still have some friendship, so they took the initiative to divide his family's property down to reduce taxes, so as to reduce the pressure on their family.

In fact, in Wang Hua's mind, apart from a few large tile-roofed houses, the Wang family sold them, and their real income could be called an inferior family in the village.At least the laborers of other villagers' families, in addition to farming, can also work in cave dwellings to get some income, and even go hunting in the mountains to improve their food.But what about the Wang family?Except for dozens of acres of thin land, there is almost nothing.

But this year, two days after the crops were returned, the county government came to collect taxes and suddenly redesignated his family as a third-class family.This tune was undoubtedly a push behind the Wang family who was as embarrassed as they were standing on the edge of a cliff.

Wang Yi was not convinced, so he asked why his family was reclassified?
The yamen servants in the county and Lizheng in the township smiled and asked Wang Yi: "Is your family a gentry? Look again, besides yours, is there another house in Qingshangou that is as beautiful as yours? If you don't ask you now, why don't you run away?" After paying taxes for so many years, just classifying your family as the third class is taking care of your family."

Wang Yi still needs to explain.

Wang Hua took his hand and persuaded him, "Yeah, forget it."

Wang Hua understood that it was not known whether it was Yu's family or Du's family, because of what he said that night, revenge against him.But there are human feelings, but human feelings are empty.Almost all the officials who had a little friendship with his father back then have been transferred to other places in the past few years.Without friendship and without money, where can I get this justice?What else would they use to fight the Yu and Du families?

Let's bear with it for now.

Wang Yi gave him a hard look, wanting to get angry, but the words didn't come out of his mouth.Then he sat down on the chair dejectedly.Originally, the Wang family was a bit more difficult, and they could barely survive until next year's summer harvest.

Now that the level is raised and the tax is increased, not to mention next year's summer harvest, maybe it won't even make it through spring.

Not only Wang Yi, but also Wang Hua's mother and Dafeng felt the pressure brought by this change, and their faces turned pale.Sanfeng and Sifeng were still ignorant, but seeing everyone's unsightly faces, they nervously swept their eyes here and there.

But Wang Hua laughed, and said to everyone: "Yeah, mother, don't be nervous, there is no way out, there is no way out, and there is another village. It's good for them to do this, and let everyone see their hypocrisy."

But in this way, Wang Hua was even more forced to leave his hometown and go to Luoyang to find life.

Another silent night passed.

In the green sky in the east, a big egg yolk rises slowly, and the earth is covered with a layer of oil red, apricot yellow, pine green, and colorful purple in a blink of an eye. Under a colorful and magnificent color, the earth begins again. The vitality of a new day.

Wang Hua is finally leaving.

His mother was in tears. Although today's teenagers are relatively precocious, they are 12 years old after all. What can he do?
In fact, not to mention Wang Yi, even she is the same, thinking that Wang Hua can really save the family just by going out for a while?Not to mention making the two big families of Yu and Du bow their heads.Wang Yi is ready to sell part of the house, and even plans to take the initiative to put down his body and find a job in Ciyao to tide over this crisis.

Taking advantage of Wang Yi's inattention, Wang Hua's mother took out some jewelry from her bosom and said to Wang Hua, "If you encounter difficulties, you can pawn these jewelry."

This is her dowry.

There were not too many words, but this action made Wang Hua feel a deep warmth.He shook his head and said, "No need. You see, this is the money I earned from selling two paintings."

As he spoke, he took out the silver cake.Then he whispered: "You can't let Yeye know."

Up to now, Wang Hua is still worried about this father. He is afraid that if he finds out and forces the money away, his future will be even more difficult.

His mother nodded.

Wang Hua said again: "Mother, don't worry this time."

At this time, Sanfeng and Sifeng came over and said, "Second brother, work hard."

Different from Dafeng and Queen Mother's worries, these two little girls are full of confidence in this brother.

"Okay, work hard!" Wang Hua clenched his fist, then laughed and left Qingshangou!
