Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 61 061 - Take a look at Tiandi Zhuangzi

What if the family is poor?
Zhen Wu came from the thinking of later generations, and his first reaction was to do business, but this era is different. Apart from being an official and receiving a salary, the next thought of everyone, no matter gentry or ordinary people, is to buy land.

I can live without money, but I can't live without land.

This is a common perception among people of this age.

The Chinese have passed down since ancient times, and there are no words to express their nostalgia for the land.

Especially in this age when materials are not abundant and food and money are directly linked, without land, it is impossible to have a sense of security.

Moreover, the food production in this era was not high. When natural disasters and man-made disasters encountered, the first people to starve to death were the landless people.

This made Zhang Yuqing not value the land deed.

Also, land is different from a house. It is not that if you want to buy it, someone will sell it. How many people have land, even if their lives are tight, they will hold on to the land tightly and save it.

Zhen Wu smiled bitterly: "Mother, what are you thinking about, this is also a reward for my meritorious service, but it was only sent here today, you don't have to worry, King Yan didn't ask me to do anything dangerous."

"Really?" Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhen Wu suspiciously: "You must not deceive your mother, a woman like me."

"Don't worry, I didn't lie to you."

Zhen Wu made repeated promises, which made Zhang Yuqing put down the stone in his heart.

But just after Zhang Yuqing didn't worry about it, he changed hands like holding a treasure. He carefully looked at this land deed, his eyes full of fascination.

Five hectares, Zhang Yuqing was counting with his fingers.

Zhen Wu smiled and said, "A total of 20 mu of land. I heard from people in the palace that there are more than [-] tenants planting it, all in one farm."

"That's too much." Zhang Yuqing smiled sheepishly.

Not too little indeed.

Zhen Wu had to admit that the boss Zhu Di was really generous in this regard.

With this land, Zhen Wu is completely a landlord now.

After Zhang Yuqing smiled, he carefully touched the land deed again.

After a long time, Zhang Yuqing raised his head and looked at Zhen Wu seriously.

"Boss, I want to see our land."

Zhen Wu seldom saw Zhang Yuqing look so serious, how could he be willing to reject Zhang Yuqing, so without thinking, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow, and we can watch as long as we want."

Zhang Yuqing laughed very happily, his eyes and face were full of hope.

At night, while sleeping.

Lying on the bed, Zhen Wu still lamented the lethality of the fields to Zhang Yuqing, and at the same time couldn't help but think of Zhu Di and Zhu Neng's words when they were drinking.

Zhen Wu didn't know if Zhu Di had the intention of rebelling at this time, but after thinking about it, Zhu Di probably felt that Zhu Biao was alive, and he basically had no hope of the throne, but he was still calmly trying to win over the loyalty of the soldiers.

This really echoes that sentence, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

The next day, after getting up early and having dinner, Zhen Wu asked the third child to borrow a carriage, put it on, told the second sage to look after the house, and then took Zhang Yuqing and the third child to Zhuangzi where the field was located.

Erxian sighed with a touch of sadness.

In fact, she wanted to see it too.

Just thinking that I belong to a daughter's family, and I always want to get married, I can't open my mouth anymore. Then, thinking about getting married, Er Xian sighed again, she's an old girl.

.

This age is like a thorn, deeply stuck in her heart, and it hurts every time she thinks about it.

But what can she do.

Even though she secretly compared her appearance with others and clearly knew that she was good-looking, God still didn't let her delay until now.

On the contrary, Erxian didn't understand Zhen Wu very much.

Zhen Wu is already this old, but he doesn't care about marrying his wife at all, allowing Zhang Yuqing to work around like a headless chicken.

Zhang Yuqing was still soft-tempered and didn't dare to take Zhen Wu's idea.

Still eccentric, the two sages pouted, if the third child dares to interfere in the marriage, let's see if Zhang Yuqing dares to deal with the third child.

I don't know how long it took.

Just as the two sages were thinking about it, there was a shout outside the door.

Erxian walked over, opened the door and looked at it, and saw that it was not a stranger, so she opened it wider with confidence, and she smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, it's really unfortunate today, my brother is not at home, you can wait another day Come find him again."

Zhang Wu at the door didn't expect Er Xian to open the door, he was almost stupid, and when he heard that Zhen Wu was not at home, he couldn't help laughing.

"Then is it convenient for me to go in and wait for your brother?" Zhang Wu asked.

Erxian directly shook his head, "Brother Zhang, it's really inconvenient to have only me and a few younger siblings at home. If there is any urgent matter, I will ask my brother to look for you when he comes back."

There was a gloomy look in Zhang Wu's eyes, he shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, I'm here today to give you... you guys something to send."

After speaking, Zhang Wu lifted the basket forward with his hand, and it was full of purple-black mulberries.

Erxian thought for a while, then smiled brightly, took the basket and said: "Then I will take it for my brother, and when he comes back, I will let him know."

As soon as the two sages finished speaking, they wanted to close the door.

Zhang Wuben was still caught in Er Xian's gentle smile, and was awakened instantly by Er Xian's action of closing the door. He kept the words in his mouth, and said them impulsively without thinking.

"I heard from your brother that you like to eat mulberries, so I went to the forest to pick them."

Er Xian paused, and the next moment, she quickly closed the door.

……

The Zhuangzi where Tian Qi was located was called Sijingzhuang, which happened to be on the side of Fangshan Mountain, and it was not far from Liujialing where Zhen Wu collected medicinal materials and rented a yard.

That courtyard has never been retreated, and the third child often runs there, and today is also the past.

So after arriving at Sijingzhuang, the youngest took a quick glance and found it boring, so he talked to Zhen Wu, and after resting the cart on the horse, he rode the horse to Liujialing, and came to pick up Zhen Wu and Zhang Yuqing later in the evening. .

Zhen Wu accompanied Zhang Yuqing, walking slowly on the fields of Sijingzhuang.

Grain has been planted in the field, and tender green shoots have emerged from the ground. The whole looks tidy and refreshing. Zhang Yuqing can't tell which piece of land belongs to his own. When I went to the farmers who were busy farming, I even came forward to have a chat.

Much like a lion patrolling its territory.

Zhen Wu could tell that Zhang Yuqing was really happy and proud.

It's not that Zhang Yuqing has never seen a field before, and his family still has a military field, but the military field belongs to the imperial court, not only the tax is high, but it cannot be bought or sold. To put it bluntly, they are only tenants of the imperial court, helping the imperial court to farm.

But it's different now, this field really belongs to him.

The more than 20 tenants below rely on farming their own land to survive, and they have independent exercise rights over the land. They can grow whatever they want, and they can do whatever they want.

This is how the landlord feels.

At this time, in Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Di was discussing matters with Master Daoyan in his study, and just after the discussion was almost done, he received a message from Zhen Wu to take his family out of the city to Sijingzhuang.

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

　Thank you for the 400 rewards from 'Fellow Daoist Don't Leave', and wish you all your wishes come true in the new year.

　　PS: Visiting relatives today, I really drank too much, I am dizzy now, tomorrow should be later.
