Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 245
If Chen Xiaoyu accepts the more than 1000 taels of silver calmly today, Chen Daniu plans to only give Chen Xiaoyu some ideas for the next sweet potato deep processing business, and will not mix with Chen Xiaoyu again.

Chen Xiaoyu's performance today made Chen Daniu very satisfied.

Chen Daniu decided that after he finished the deep processing of sweet potatoes, he would give Chen Xiaoyu a share as before.

Chen Xiaoyu didn't know what Chen Daniu was thinking, but Chen Xiaoyu felt Chen Daniu's probing intention.

Chen Daniu's careful thinking made Chen Xiaoyu smile a little.

To be honest, ever since Chen Xiaoyu found a more lucrative "drawing" business, she had already put the sugar business behind her.

However, Chen Xiaoyu would definitely not shirk the money that he had agreed with Chen Daniu to start a business partnership.

"Xiaoyu~! Grandpa will keep the more than 1000 taels of silver first, but grandpa won't use it. Your grandpa is getting old, and sometimes he doesn't know how to do things. I'm going to leave the money to your grandpa and the others. , do you have any objections?" Chen Daniu thought for a while and asked.

Although the younger brother Chen Erniu is a bit stupid, he is also a bit stubborn.Chen Daniu, who is the eldest brother, can't bear to really ignore it.

"Grandpa, this money belongs to you. You can spend it however you like." Chen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Grandpa, in fact... if my grandparents agree to separate the family, I am willing to give it to you." Their 1000 taels of pension money."

Chen Xiaoyu has long wanted to separate.

The tree forks, and the children separate from each other.

When the children grow up and have their own small families, a bunch of people live under the same roof, bumps and bumps are common, and there are too many sisters-in-law, so it is natural to have verbal disputes.No matter how good the friendship between brothers is, it will be worn away in endless quarrels.

After the separation, wouldn't it be nice for each of us to live our own beautiful lives?
It's a pity that every time Chen Xiaoyu asked for a separation, Chen Daniu confuses it in a peaceful way.

Chen Xiaoyu really didn't understand, why did Chen Daniu always disagree with the division of their family?

"Xiaoyu~! You are still young and don't understand the laws of our Xuanyuan Dynasty. It is inevitable to want to separate the family." Chen Daniu said with a sigh.

"The law forbids family separation?" Chen Xiaoyu was stunned.

"That's not true." Chen Daniu pondered for a while, and said, "Xiaoyu, look at our village. Some families live under the same roof for four generations. Do you know why?"

Chen Xiaoyu shook her head.

After being reminded by Chen Daniu, Chen Xiaoyu really discovered a strange phenomenon.

Villagers in Xinghua Village seldom separate from each other.

Even if the house at home is not enough to live in, a few more rooms will be built in the back to make a second or third yard.

"Xiaoyu, according to the law of our Xuanyuan Dynasty, every three years, each family must take out one person to do labor, or build roads, or dig rivers and canals. It is hard work and tiring work. After the separation, your mother Weak and slender, this kind of work can't be done at all." Chen Daniu explained.

"Ah? Women also have to do hard labor?" Chen Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

Isn't men superior to women in ancient times?Why do the women of the Xuanyuan Dynasty have no human rights and still act like men?
"Well. As long as they are adults, no matter they are men or women, they have to do hard labor. Once every three years, they are distributed according to households. Those who have a reputation of being a scholar or above are exempted from hard labor." Chen Daniu nodded and said.

"Can't I use silver instead?" Chen Xiaoyu was anxious.

Chen Xiaoyu thought before that as long as she had enough money in her pocket, she could lead Jin Cuicui to live a prosperous and peaceful life in this time and space.

But listening to what Chen Daniu said now, it's not the same thing at all!
People above the level of scholar can be exempted from corvee. Even if Chen Xiaoyu starts to study hard now, it is impossible for him to take the examination of scholar!Women in the Xuanyuan Dynasty were not allowed to take the imperial examination.

"No. The holy grandfather made this rule to increase the remarriage rate of widowers and widows. Therefore, unless your mother remarries, or you find a son-in-law when you grow up, otherwise, road construction and canal digging are so labor-intensive. Corvée, your mother can't hold on." Chen Daniu explained.

Thunderbolt!
The holy grandfather of the Xuanyuan Dynasty even cares about whether widows marry or not?Really busy!
Chen Xiaoyu was in a hurry.

(Outside the Nine Heavens Tower, Shenmu Shenjun was taking a nap, and suddenly sneezed loudly. Shenmu Shenjun opened his eyes and looked around. Who? Who is scolding this Shenjun?)
Before Chen Xiaoyu could complain, Chen Daniu went on to say: "If there is a war in the frontier, you will have to serve in the military. After the family is divided, the three houses in your family will be divided into three households, and you will have to serve three parts for corvee service and military service!"

Chen Xiaoyu was speechless.

No wonder even Wang Laidi, an honest boss who was oppressed by the Chen Wang family, never expressed her opinion when it came to separating the family!

It turns out that there are such harsh conditions.

Spicy chicken grandpa!
How much does he want the Xuanyuan Dynasty to increase its population?Not even widows are spared.

Chen Daniu looked at Chen Xiaoyu's shocked expression, and was secretly proud of himself.

Although the Xuanyuan Dynasty stipulated that the use of silver to replace labor was not allowed, in fact, there were still ways to operate it.

At most, take money to buy a few slaves to come back, and ask the slaves to go when they are doing hard labor, isn't that all right?

However, this method of "cutting the edge" cannot be put on the bright side.Chen Daniu didn't want his younger brother's family to break up, so he naturally wouldn't imply that Chen Xiaoyu could do this.

After Chen Xiaoyu figured out the reason why Chen Daniu didn't want their family to be separated, she didn't even eat, excused her headache, and went home in a daze.

After Chen Xiaoyu came home, she lay down on the bed.

Chen Xiaoyu felt very sad.

What Chen Daniu said made Chen Xiaoyu a little helpless.

Here, money is really not everything, at least it cannot replace corvee.Then why did she earn so much money so hard during this time?
"Xiaoyu~! Xiaoyu~! What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing Chen Xiaoyu's expressionless eyes, Jin Cuicui was almost frightened.

"Mother~! Grandpa said, if our family splits up, you will have to serve in corvee every three years. Is this true?" Chen Xiaoyu grabbed Jin Cuicui's hand and asked.

Chen Xiaoyu looked at Jin Cuicui with expectant eyes, and said in her heart: Deny, quickly deny, saying that Grandpa is lying to me.

Unfortunately, Jin Cuicui does not know how to "read minds".

"En." Jin Cuicui nodded slowly.

"Mother, then...you agreed to separate the family last time? You are in poor health, how can you bear the hardship of hard labor?" Chen Xiaoyu was anxious.

"Xiaoyu, mother thought about it. Rather than being disliked at home, it's better to separate out. Our mother and son live together, no matter how hard or tired, mother is willing. At most... Mother gritted her teeth After insisting on serving hard labor twice, at most three times, my mother's Xiaoyu will be able to marry!" Jin Cuicui touched Chen Xiaoyu's head, her eyes were full of love.
