Chapter 94: The Wheat Is Ripe (Part 1)
At the end of April, the Tang Dynasty's three-pronged army pressed the Koreans to the front line in Pyongyang. Facing the 170,000 wolf and tiger divisions led by Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Liu Rengui, three famous thugs in the early Tang Dynasty, 160,000 were made up of old, young and disabled soldiers.
The improvised Goryeo army was like a large herd of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they could only wait for the other party to rush forward and bleed themselves.
Du Feng, a middle-aged handsome man who looks elegant and handsome, has a cruel and cold heart. In order to successfully win the Goryeo Dynasty, he will do anything and use all kinds of cruel and inhumane methods in an endless stream. Wherever the army goes, there will be no grass.
.The grain reserves were exhausted and new grains had not been harvested. Goryeo was like a hell on earth. Under the threat of war and famine, a large number of Goryeo refugees left their homes and fled to neighboring countries.
The endless stream of refugees made the human traffickers waiting in Liaodong a huge profit market. A large number of fake Silla girls (passed by Korean girls) flowed into the human market, causing an incalculable blow to the once old brand of Silla maids.
The men were sold to Liaodong, Youyou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places where labor was scarce. The economic value of the Korean people who ate less and worked more was once again discovered, laying a good manpower foundation for the harvest of summer grain, and they were deeply loved by users from all over the world.
Good reviews.
As the price of Silla maids, which has always been supplied to the high-end market, has been hit by an unprecedented impact. The city of Chang'an in the rear was also affected. Even Hu Accountant, who had just become a well-off man, carefully selected and purchased a beautiful personal maid.
Manager Qian's family members poked fun at Hu's accountant, looking like they were getting sour grapes.
Ying originally wanted to buy a few at a bargain price, but I sternly refused. They are not the kind of grasshoppers that put themselves in cages and listen to calls in autumn and kick their legs after two months. It is difficult to let go of dogs and cats after a long time.
Well, people have to live for decades. If I develop another relationship, the two ladies will get jealous and play tricks.
I have to die of heartache even if I have nothing to do with my life. (The Tang Dynasty did not yet have a people-oriented concept, and the class concept was particularly strong. Kindheartedness refers to the people of the Tang Dynasty. To kill a slave at home, you only need to go to the government to fight.
Hello, there are all kinds of reasons, even farts that smell too bad can be used as an excuse, this is true)
The summer grain harvest season has arrived in various places, and the agriculture-based "government" of the Tang Dynasty has made it a top priority. Within a month, all strong men with fields at home had to go home to farm. Officials with fiefdoms,
From the princes and princesses to lazy landowners like me, they all have to
Participate in the entire harvest process. The imperial court sends officials to various places to supervise and report, mobilize all labor, and the people of the country work together to seize grain from God. The summer grain harvest is the season when thunder, rain, and hail are raging. If local officials do not manage it well, they will cause losses.
If so, the consequences will be serious.
The papermaking workshop and toilet workshop on Wangjiazhuangzi have all stopped production. All craftsmen, male and female, are all paid to go home to harvest wheat. Cheng Chu, who was practicing in Jiannan Road, also hurried back, and Princess Lanling also respected her.
The imperial court gave an order to supervise the harvesting of grain, and they stopped coming to me for the time being. As for me, the lazy head of the family, I was called to work by Ying before dawn, and the whole palace was in a state of panic and busy.
"Do I have to wear this?" I felt like Ying was dressing me up as a disciple of the Beggar Clan. "Isn't it good? I'm embarrassed to go out wearing this."
"Stop talking. It took you a long time to get up. God will blame you for delaying Kaiyan!" Ying looked anxious and hurriedly hung up my clothes for me. She turned around and shouted to the two girls who were putting on shoes: "Be quick with your hands and feet."
Oh, I’m still in confinement! Come here quickly and help me!”
The two girls shivered when Ying called out. They didn't even have time to hook up their shoes before they ran over to help, "You put on your husband's clothes, and I'll go to the yard to greet you. Lao Qian didn't pinch the position correctly last year, which led to his serious illness. This year
If the priest messes up again, his old skin will be peeled off." After saying that, he turned around and went out in a hurry, and the door closed with a "dong", I was so scared.
There was silence in the room, and both of us were frightened to death. The second daughter and I wiped the cold sweat from our foreheads at the same time, and looked at each other in horror, "Hurry up and put it on me, your little skin is peeled off." "Touched".
He touched the messy hair that the two girls had not had time to clean up, and sighed: "This is the real Madam Gaoming. Second girl, you are not good enough."
The two women nodded in agreement. Their hands and feet were as fast as ghosts urging them.
"Pull down the ribbon around your neck. It covers your face. It's uncomfortable." I was very uncomfortable with this outfit. I suggested to the second girl that I wanted to change the look a little bit. "Loose the straps on the waist and back. It's tight."
My spine hurts."
The second daughter shook her head, with a smile in her eyes, and whispered: "No, I will die."
"Forget it." Ying attaches great importance to this ceremony, and it would be bad if she gets angry with the two girls. "Will you go later?"
The two girls shook their heads in joy, feeling relieved that they could not participate in this ceremony.
"Well, it's all feudal superstition anyway. It's better to be less involved in coaxing melon seeds." I helped the two girls tighten the rope behind their backs. It was still dark outside, and the candlelight was shining brightly in the bronze mirror.
A vague garbage dump-like object was reflected in it, which really couldn't be connected with a creature like a human being. He asked the two women: "What would you do if you met a guy wearing my outfit in the middle of the night?"
"Calling." The two women answered seriously.
"What are you calling for?"
"Fight ghosts!"
"Correct." I rewarded the two girls with a slap of fifty cents on their butts, "Shall I go out now?" Seeing that she had packed it up for me, I asked hesitantly: "Will it scare others?"
Before the two girls had time to make a move, there was a loud thunder outside. Could it be that God doesn't like my dressing up? But I haven't gone out yet.
Ying opened the door anxiously and came in, "Husband, go out when you're done. The farmers are all waiting in the fields. Thundering so early in the morning is not a good sign." She told the two girls: "Look after the house and say hello.
The kitchen is making a quick meal, and when it’s done, I send someone to hitch up the cart and pull it to the field, and the pigs that were half hung are cooked.” After saying that, I pulled the pig and left.
The two girls nodded.
"Is our family going to have dinner today?" I asked as I walked, "Will it cost a lot of money?"
"Our family will provide food for the next ten days. The farmer has been busy with the family for a year, so we can't be stingy at this time." Ying said seriously: "Although our rent collection is not much, the farmer's family is not rich, plus
It’s a lot of labor to come back to harvest wheat, so if our family can’t do it, who will do it?”
Ying's natural tone made me feel warm in my heart. It was completely incompatible with the landlady in primary school textbooks. Landlords are so enlightened. Of course, I, as a landowner, cannot lag behind. I suggested: "We can't charge less rent."
?The family has a bit of savings now, so even if we collect less, it will be enough."
"That's not what I said!" My motion was immediately rejected. "They farm our land and it is natural for them to pay rent. There is no reason to blame others for reducing the land rent."
"Who? Who's scolding?" Will the landlords criticize me if I reduce the rent? What's the point? "Aren't the landlords unwilling to reduce the rent?"
"They are really willing, and they really hope you don't want to rent a house." Ying pulled me to the door and asked the housekeeper Qian and the servants who were waiting outside to follow her. "If you don't want to see people in this circle, you can reduce the rent."
Our family is going to start this, how will other families live?
"I'm afraid that Princess Lanling will come to ask for something from us tomorrow." Ying smiled and sent me forward, asking me to walk in front of everyone, "My husband will take the lead. When you go to the field to offer sacrifices, you will follow the housekeeper's arrangements. Women's families cannot
If you participate, I will watch from a distance for a while."
"Well, don't worry! With your husband here, our harvest will definitely be good!" After listening to Ying's explanation, it seems that trying to provide benefits to the farmers is not feasible. Since everyone is used to this, there is no need for me to "fuck"
With this attitude, the worst possible outcome is to subsidize farmers with some grain in winter.
