Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 425, the popular military household
The irritable Wang started wandering around Longtou Village as soon as he left the house.

At this time, almost every household had their doors closed, and it was obvious that they were all talking about money.

"Bang~"

"You unfilial son, others can snatch the Tartars, why didn't you even kill a Tartar?"

"You still have the nerve to come back?"

"Look at other people's houses, the one with the least one has a hundred taels of silver to take home, and the Wang Daniu's family who has more can kill four Tartars, but you haven't even killed one Tartar. Why didn't you die in the hands of the Tartars?" , so that the family can at least get two taels of silver."

Not long after he left the house, Wang Yigen heard old man He growling, and saw him chasing and beating his son He Dagou with a shoulder pole in his hand.

Beating and cursing at the same time, I was really angry.

Seeing other families returning home with a lot of money, He Dagou from his own family didn't get a single head on the battlefield, and he almost came back bare-handed.

Thinking of the fact that almost every household in the village who went out to war came back with a lot of silver dollars, but his son didn't get anything.

The old man He became even more angry, and beat the pole in his hand mercilessly.

"Dad~Dad~"

"Didn't you say it when you went out to fight, don't rush forward foolishly, escape when you have the chance, everything is possible only if you are alive, I didn't do what you said, I didn't get hurt at all."

He Dagou said while hiding.

"There is no injury at all, you are mad at me, aren't you?"

"Look at people like Wang Daniu, Chen Mazi, and the scholar. They don't bring back a lot of money. After a while, they get married one by one, and build houses one by one. At that time, you can only watch helplessly. Let me see if you are hurt or not?"

Old man He was furious, hating that iron could not be made into steel, one hundred taels of silver for a tartar, he didn't seize such a chance to make a fortune, he was really going to die of anger.

Wang Yigen outside could see clearly, and suddenly he couldn't help showing a smile on his old face, and at the same time he straightened his back. It was his son who killed four Tartars, and the four hundred taels of silver was enough for his family. No worries about food and clothing.

"Hey~ Isn't this a brother?"

After wandering around, Wang Yigen came to the center of Longtou Village. There is a grain drying field in the center of the village, and everyone likes to gather here.

When Matchmaker Tang saw Wang Gengen appearing, she immediately stepped forward to say hello. She is the most eloquent matchmaker in ten miles and eight villages. Of course, she is also a famous matchmaker. With a sharp tongue, even the dead can be said to be alive.

In the past, her Tang matchmaker would never come to Longtou Village, because Longtou Village is full of dilapidated military households, and it would be very difficult to do matchmaking for these dilapidated military households. The money is also pitiful.

But it's different now. Everyone knows that these military households have issued a reward of one hundred taels of silver for killing a Tartar, and two hundred taels of silver for those killed in battle.

This time, every household in Longtou Village went to the battle, and the imperial court won a big victory. I heard that the rewards alone amounted to tens of millions of taels of silver. rich people.

Not only money, but also a market.

These dilapidated military households used to be poor, and no one was willing to marry here, so there are older unmarried young people in every household, which is where her matchmaker Tang comes in.

So, before these expeditionary military households came back, he ran to Longtou Village every day, and at the same time, he was looking for girls who had reached the bidding age in ten miles and eight towns, so that he could be a matchmaker.

This time, she came to Longtou Village again, saying hello to everyone she saw.

"Matchmaker Tang~"

Seeing Tang Matchmaker, Wang Yigen put out a smile on his dark old face. His eldest son was not married, and neither were the second and third sons.

I also went to Tang Matchmaker before and asked her to help me talk about marriage, but Tang Matchmaker just didn't answer and didn't answer at all, and there was no follow-up at all. After changing marriages several times, many times, no one might be willing to change marriages with military households like them.

"Brother Yi, how many Tartars did your big cow kill?"

Matchmaker Tang looked around and asked in a low voice.

First ask how much money the other party has in hand. If there is more money, she will naturally work harder. After the introduction is successful, the happy money will naturally be more.

"Four~"

Wang Yiyi raised four fingers and said with a smile on his face.

"My dear, isn't there four hundred taels of silver?"

When Matchmaker Tang heard this, her eyes widened slightly and she said in surprise.

"Hehe~"

"Matchmaker Tang, if you have a good girl in your hand, hurry up and introduce them to my three cubs. You are indispensable for this money."

Wang Yigen smiled, now that he has money, he has the confidence to speak.

"Okay~ okay, no problem, no problem~"

"Brother dissatisfied, I came here this time to introduce and introduce you to your family. Does blacksmith Zhang from Shannan Village know?"

"His eldest son and daughter are twenty-eight years old, and they are juicy and handsome. The key is to be hardworking and hardworking, and their buttocks are easy to bear. Now marry them back, and they will let you have grandchildren next year."

When Matchmaker Tang heard this, she immediately smiled, and after thinking about it, she began to introduce.

"What's so good about Zhang Tiejiang's daughter? I have a lot of good girls in my hand. The second daughter of Li Butcher's family in the town is really beautiful. She is better than Diao Chan. She is beautiful and beautiful, and she is a perfect match for your big cow."

At this time, another voice sounded, and it turned out that another Dong matchmaker came over.

Like Matchmaker Tang, Matchmaker Dong was obviously interested in the huge market in Longtou Village, and she also came here to say goodbye.

"Butcher Li's daughter, I've seen it, and it's really good looking."

Upon hearing this, Wang Gen immediately nodded and said.

"Brother Yi, don't listen to her nonsense, this Butcher Li's daughter is beautiful, but she said that she wants to be a scholar."

"I still have a lot of girls here. What do you think of the daughter of the tailor Zhang's family in this town?"

"Tailor Zhang's daughter is not inferior to Butcher Li's daughter at all. The key is that this tailor's daughter has a good craft and can make clothes. Think about it. By then, your big cow will have money. Maybe in the future." You can go to the county town to buy a house, if you have a shop or something, you can directly open a tailor shop or something in the county town, and you can marry Zhang Tailor’s daughter to keep it safe.”

When Matchmaker Tang saw that the business snatcher was coming, she immediately became anxious. She gave Matchmaker Dong a hard look and told him that this was her first target. You go to another house, and at the same time began to introduce.

"This is really good~"

When Wang Gen heard this, he nodded again and again.

"There are also girls from the county town. Your Da Niu killed four Tartars. Here are four hundred taels of silver. There are girls of all kinds. As long as you ask for it, I will find it for you."

Matchmaker Dong was also in a hurry, and said hastily.

In this era when you can marry a wife with three taels of silver, four hundred taels of silver is definitely a super rich. Each house in the county town is at most a dozen taels of silver, and the house with a shop is worth a few dozen taels. silver.

Four hundred taels of silver can do too many things, and for ordinary people like them, they will not need much money in their lifetime.

"Matchmaker Dong, what do you mean?"

When Matchmaker Tang saw it, she became angry immediately, and said to Matchmaker Dong with her waist in her hands.

"It's nothing interesting. I'm just talking about marriage with Brother Yi's family. Are you allowed to come?"

Those who can be matchmakers are naturally not easy to mess with. Matchmaker Dong also had her waist in her waist, and she immediately confronted Matchmaker Tang.

"Don't know first come first come?"

"Why are there many families in Longtou Village? You just came here to compete with me for business. Believe it or not, I called you bloody today?"

"Come on, come on, let's see who's bloody?"

"It's a matchmaker. Who can say who has the ability? If you don't have the ability, what kind of matchmaker do you eat?"

Matchmaker Dong and Matchmaker Tang stared at each other aggressively.

"Matchmaker Dong, Matchmaker Dong, my scholar is back, didn't you promise to kiss our scholar?"

At this time, the scholar's father came over, and when he saw Matchmaker Dong, he also hurriedly said.

"Okay, okay, how many Tartars did your scholar kill?"

When Matchmaker Dong heard this, she immediately put on a smiling face and said with a smile.

"Not much, just one. I came back with a hundred taels of silver. I'm just this one son. You have to introduce a good girl. If you introduce well, the money will not be missing from you."

The scholar's father said with a smile all over his face that he never thought that the scholar could kill a tartar and come back with a hundred taels of silver.

"Okay~ okay, no problem, wrap it on my body, and keep it to your satisfaction."

When Matchmaker Dong heard this, she immediately agreed, and then introduced the scholar's father.

"Brother Yi, what do you think?"

Here Tang Matchmaker feels angry when she looks at Dong Matchmaker, but when she looks at Wang Yigen, she immediately smiles.

"I said it's useless, I still want to see my son, why don't you come to my house and have a drink?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Ok~Ok~"

When Tang Matchmaker heard this, she immediately agreed.

……

Longtou Village immediately became extremely lively as the military households brought back from the expedition, and became the focus of the entire ten miles and eight towns.

Everyone talked about them every day. Some people kept bragging about how brave they were on the battlefield, killing several Tartars, and some even showed off with the spoils they captured from the battlefield.

But these are not what everyone cares about the most, the most important thing is money.

The dilapidated military households in Longtou Village turned around.

Almost every household has turned salted fish over.

Those who killed the Tartars on the battlefield were rewarded, and those who died were also rewarded. In short, almost every household brought back hundreds of taels of silver, and those who did not bring back silver became the object of everyone's jokes.

The dilapidated military households turned over, and suddenly these dilapidated military households became fragrant buns.

In less than half a month after Wang Daniu and others returned to Longtou Village, some people in Longtou Village began to get married, and some girls from other villages married in.

Then one after another, almost every household started to hold weddings, and the sound of festive firecrackers sounded almost every day, and the banquets in the village were almost unheard of every day.

Today is the marriage of the Li family, tomorrow is the marriage of the Zhang family, and the day after tomorrow is the marriage of the Wang family, one after another, there is no intention of stopping, the eldest is married, and the second is married.

The entire Longtou Village is almost filled with red festive seas. Sometimes, several families get married in a day, so that there are jokes that go wrong.

Girls from other villages were carried into Longtou Village in eight sedan chairs, which was very, very rare in the past.

The villagers in Longtou Village are all military households. These military households are very poor and run-down. No one is willing to marry their daughters over. Even if it is a marriage exchange, few people are willing to exchange.

There is no way, although everyone is poor, but at least everyone has a better status. If they are military households, the descendants will all be military households, and there is no way to pass the imperial examination.

What's more, they have to be squeezed and exploited by the hundreds and thousands of households above. Every year, hundreds and thousands of households have to farm and do things for free. In short, the dilapidated military households are the poorest existence. It will be even more bitter.

But now, these dilapidated military households have money, and they are not ordinary rich. There is a reward of one hundred taels of silver for killing a Tartar, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

Married in the past, although still a military household, but these days are different.

Longtou Village has become very lively here, and every household has people getting married. At the same time, people in Longtou Village have started to build houses one after another.

The houses built here occupy a large area, and they all have yards with three entrances, and they also use cement. The household registration in front of the door and the yard are covered with cement, which is very clean. The inside of the room is paved with cement. house where people live.

After the wedding tide is over, there is a housing boom. In the entire Longtou Village, almost every household is building a house. Some people are planning and building together. It is very neat. The whole Longtou Village is like a busy construction site. People come to work every day. house.

In addition to getting married and building houses, these dilapidated military households in Longtou Village also began to buy land, because there were so many people buying land that the price of land in the entire ten miles and eight towns began to rise.

Originally, it only needed less than 3 taels of silver per mu of land, but now it has increased to more than 3 taels of silver per mu of land because of the purchase of fields by these military households in Longtou Village.

Even so, as long as someone sells the land, people from Longtou Village will immediately buy it. The local tyrants are very rich, and the whole village has a lot of money. It has become a well-known wealthy village in ten miles and eight towns.

At the same time, in the county, the prices of shops and houses in the county have also risen. There are many military household villages like Longtou Village around the county. These military households have money, and some people also come to the county to buy houses and shops. Do business or something, or simply move to the city to live.

In turn, it also drove up the housing prices and store prices in the entire county. At the same time, because these military households saw the magic of cement, the cement stores that were not very good in sales began to become popular.
