Chapter 23

"Why."

Ruolan agreed and immediately went to the kitchen.

Lin Xu waved his hand at her and walked out.

Looking at Lin Xu's back, Yang Min was in a complicated mood, and her dark eyes were shining with bright brilliance...

......

At the beginning of the founding of the Daning Dynasty, in order to facilitate rule, the founding emperor did not allow the people to move around and migrate at will. Anyone who leaves his hometown for a hundred miles must hold a "road guide". In addition, according to the division of professional labor, the people across the country were classified as civilian households, military households, craftsmen, etc.

All household registrations are inherited and cannot be changed without authorization.

For example, the descendants of farmers work for generations; the descendants of craftsmen work for generations; the descendants of military households work for generations.

The specific business of craftsmen is not allowed to be changed at will.

For example, the descendants of blacksmiths have made irons for generations, and the descendants of carpenters have worked as carpenters for generations.

Although the implementation of the household registration system has not been so strict after nearly three hundred years of development, overall, it has basically been followed.

The original old carpenter in Linshan Village was Chang's surname. He had very good skills and made furniture very durable. He also had good character. No matter who asked him for help, he would not refuse. He was well-known in the village!

Unfortunately, last year he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake while climbing up the mountain to cut wood. Although he struggled to return home, he was still unable to turn the world back and died of poison.

Lao Chang's son Xiao Carpenter, although he is only fifteen years old this year, his craftsmanship has gone further. The furniture he made is not only durable, but also has a tight fit and small error!

Lin Xu walked to the door of the little carpenter's house. He saw the little carpenter sitting in the yard busy, so he walked in directly.

"Gensheng, did you get up so early and work hard?"

Lin Xu greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Xu, why are you here? Are you going to make something?"

Although the little carpenter had never read a book, he was very polite. He quickly put down his friend and stood up.

"Haha, I want to find you to make a wooden bed..."

"Wooden bed? What does it look like?"

"Seven feet long and six feet wide."

"Seven feet long?! Six feet wide?!"

The little carpenter was very surprised: "Brother Xu, why are you going to make such a big bed? Did you marry a second wife? Why didn't I hear that?"

"Which second wife is married! What are you thinking about?"

Lin Xu reached out to scrub the little carpenter's head.

"Hehe, Brother Xu, haven't you told me before that marrying a wife more means making contributions to the country. The more you marry, the greater your contribution!"

"Is that true? I've said something like this?"

Lin Xu touched his nose, coughed twice, and joked: "Actually, this is true. If you marry an extra wife, you have to pay more taxes. Wouldn't it be a contribution to the country? Gensheng, when you grow up in the future, you should also work hard to contribute more to the country, do you know?"

"I understand, Brother Xu! When I grow up, I will definitely marry more and make more contributions!"

The little carpenter is very serious!

"Gensheng, if you want to contribute to the country, you don't have to marry more women..."

Seeing that the little carpenter was so serious, Lin Xu taught him earnestly.

"I know, I have to have more babies! Brother Xu, I remember everything you said to me before!"

The little carpenter raised his head, with an expression I knew about!
