Ruolan agreed and immediately went to the kitchen.
Lin Xu waved to her and walked out.
Looking at Lin Xu's back, Yang Min's mood was complicated, and a pair of dark eyes shone brightly...
...
At the beginning of the founding of the Ning Dynasty, in order to facilitate the rule, the founding emperor did not allow the people to move around and migrate at will. Anyone who left his hometown for hundreds of miles must have a "road guide". In addition, the people in the country were divided into households according to the occupational division of labor.
, military household, craftsman household and other registrations.
All household registrations are hereditary and cannot be changed without authorization.
For example, the descendants of farmers have been farming for generations; the descendants of craftsmen have been working for generations; the descendants of military households have been serving in the army for generations.
Specific to the craftsman household, the trade it engages in cannot be changed at will.
For example, the descendants of a blacksmith have been forging iron for generations, and the descendants of a carpenter have been doing carpentry for generations.
Although after nearly three hundred years of development, the implementation of the household registration system is no longer so strict, but overall, it has basically been followed.
The original old carpenter in Linshan Village was named Chang. His craftsmanship was very good and the furniture he made was very durable. He also had a good character. No matter who asked him for help, he would never refuse. He was well-known in the village!
Unfortunately, last year when he went up the mountain to cut wood, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. Although he struggled to get back home, he was unable to save himself and died of the poison.
Although Lao Chang's son, Little Carpenter, is only fifteen years old this year, his craftsmanship has improved. The furniture he makes is not only durable, but also fits perfectly with very small errors!
Lin Xu strolled to the door of the little carpenter's house and saw the little carpenter sitting in the yard busy, so he walked in directly.
"Gensheng, are you up so early and busy?"
Lin Xu smiled and said hello.
"Brother Xu, why are you here? Do you want to do something?"
Although the little carpenter had never read a book, he knew etiquette very well. He quickly put down his workman and stood up.
"Haha, I want to make a wooden bed with you..."
"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 do you want to make such a big bed? Are you marrying a second wife? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"Why are you marrying a second wife! What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xu stretched out his hand and rinsed the little carpenter's head.
"Hey, Brother Xu, didn't you tell me before? If you marry more wives, you are contributing to the country. The more you marry, the greater your contribution!"
"Really? Have I ever said such a thing?"
Lin Xu touched his nose, coughed twice, and joked: "Actually, that's right. If you marry more wives, you have to pay more taxes. Isn't that just making a contribution to the country? Gensheng, I'll wait for you.
When you grow up, you will have to work hard to contribute more to the country, you know?"
"I got it, Brother Xu! When I grow up, I will marry more wives and make more contributions!"
The little carpenter is very serious!
"Gen Sheng, if you want to contribute to the country, there are many ways, and you don't necessarily have to marry more wives..."
Seeing how serious the young carpenter was, Lin Xu taught him earnestly.
"I know, I want to have more children! Brother Xu, I remember everything you told me before!"
The little carpenter raised his head, with an expression that I knew well!
