0022Take heart(1/2)

The setting sun sets in the west.

The afterglow of the sunset dyed the clouds red.

After a whole day, Han Zhen finally completed the land measurement and household registration inspection in Xiaowang Village.

Next, just organize this information and register it.

Han Zhen invited, "Little Prince, Zhu Dalang, thank you for your hard work today, let's have dinner with me."

The village chief waved his hand: "No, I still have something to do in my family."

Han Zhen knew that he was in a hurry to go to the mountains to get away from home to make money, so he nodded and said, "Since there is something wrong with the village chief, let's go back first."

However, Zhu Zhengze followed him silently with a stack of paper.

When he returned to the big mansion, Fang Sansan greeted him: "Alang is back."

"Um!"

Han Zhen nodded.

Fang Sansan followed him and said in a chattering voice: "Alang, several young men hunted a deer."

deer?

Han Zhen frowned. When he happened to see a monkey coming out of the downward room, he called out, "Didn't you ask you to wait to investigate the terrain in the mountains? How did you go hunting deer?"

Seeing that Han Zhen looked displeased, the monkey hurriedly explained: "Brother Han, the deer is not a hunter. The deer ran into us in the mountains and was shocked. As a result, he bumped into the tree when he ran away and fainted."

This is OK?

Han Zhen didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only sigh that their luck was so good.

After entering the hanging flower gate, I saw monkey and Xiaozhu’s parents sitting in the yard, with restraint and confusion in their eyes.

Han Zhen walked forward and said a little apologetically: "It's all my fault, and I have implicated my uncles and aunts."

Several people quickly stood up, and Yang's father waved his hand and said, "Erlang, don't want this. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid they are still in prison now."

Han Zhen said, "Since you are here, uncle and aunt will stay here with peace of mind."

Yang's father nodded, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

Seeing this scene, Han Zhen immediately understood their thoughts and smiled: "If uncles and aunts think they are too idle, they can pick up a few acres of barren fields to plant."

Upon hearing this, Yang's father and others were overjoyed.

As a farmer, if they don’t have a few acres of land in their hands, they will be really uneasy.

With the field, my heart is calm.

In their perception, no matter where they are, as long as they are not lazy, they can always eat a bite as long as they are willing to work hard to farm.

At this moment, Chu Niang Shen stood in front of the kitchen door and asked, "Alang, can you start a meal?"

"After the meal."

Thanks to the deer that he killed himself, the supper tonight was very rich.

Chef Shen really showed off her skills. The deer tenderloin was stir-fried with scallions, and the ribs were made into a pot of soup. The remaining bones, internal organs and sewage were washed and boiled into a large pot of soup.

The staple food is wheat rice, but compared to ordinary farmers, there are much less wild vegetables in wheat rice.

This is normal. Even if the landlords are old, they are reluctant to eat essential food every day.

Essential grains such as rice and wheat are kept for making money in the disaster year.

Take one more bite and make less money.

Seeing that Zhu Zhengze had signs of running away after picking up the bowl, Han Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Sit down and eat, and bring one back after the meal."

"Thank you, the village chief."

Zhu Zhengze didn't slow down half a beat this time and immediately thanked him.

...

When everyone was halfway through the meal, the tenants came with their families.

Without waiting for Han Zhen's order, Cook Chen greeted them for dinner.

"Everything is arranged, don't crowd it, everyone has it."

With the shouts of Mrs. Shen, the tenants lined up and went forward to receive the meal in an orderly manner.

Cook Chen filled a bowl of wheat rice and handed it over. A boy about eight or nine years old wiped his hands on his clothes, and then carefully held the bowl.

Seeing the boy turn around and leave, Cook Chen called out, "Don't leave, there is still broth."

As he said that, he used a wooden spoon to scoop a large spoon of broth into the pot and poured it into a bowl.

The rich aroma of the broth accompanied by a hint of heat came into the noses of the tenants, causing everyone's throats to sway.

"Dad, there's meat!"

Seeing several internal organs in the bowl, the boy exclaimed immediately.

Meat!

In an instant, the tenants behind them all shone with their eyes.

Soon, more than twenty people were sitting in the yard with bowls.

Tan Qiang squatted beside his son, looked up and found that the tenants had meat in their bowls, either a few small pieces of internal organs or bones connected to some shredded meat.

There is no way, this deer is not big, and it is less than twenty kilograms of meat to peel and bone, and the venison is not enough for Han Zhen and the others to eat.

But the tenants don’t care. It is already a great happiness to have a bite of meat.

He put all the internal organs into his son's bowl, and Tan Qiang held the bowl and started eating it voraciously with the broth.

After eating three large bowls in a row, Tan Qiang put down the bowl and breathed a sigh of relief.

After living for so many years, he felt that today was truly a true person.

After coming to the well to wash the bowl and put it back into the kitchen, Tan Qiang led his son and wife to bow deeply to the hall before turning around and leaving.

The little dog looked back at the house and was still unsatisfied with his mouth: "Dad, the new owner's family is so good, I'll give it to the meat."

"yes!"

Tan Qiang raised a smile on his lips.

He hasn't smiled for a long time. The last time he was so happy, he was a puppy born.

Nowadays, not only can I eat a full meal, but I also have a monthly salary.

In just one day, he no longer doubted Han Zhen's words.

Since the little husband said he would pay for his wages, he would definitely give it.

Three hundred texts.

I can pull half a piece of linen, and then I will make a new dress for my wife and son.

After careful calculation, I found that my family hadn’t changed clothes for many years.

The little dog seemed to remember something and said angrily: "Dad, Wang Laizi is talking bad about the young man today."

Upon hearing this, Tan Qiang reminded: "That guy is not a good guy, don't play with him in the future."

"Um!"

The puppy nodded solemnly.

...

...

In the study room.

Han Zhen is sorting out the household registration information that was checked today.

It is no exaggeration to say that the information about Xiaowang Village in his hands is more accurate and detailed than that in the county government office.

Because when facing the government, whether it is a villager or a king, he will choose to conceal the information to a certain extent.

There were only three people in the family, and they gritted their teeth.

The other two are dead!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There must be less land, and the villagers are afraid of being entrusted to the yamen for too much land, while the landlords are afraid of being taxed.

It was all caused by heavy taxes and corvee labor, and the people were frightened by the troubles.

This is why Wang Xiao and his wife were like facing a great enemy when they heard that they wanted to measure the fields.

At this moment, Han Zhen was holding a stack of paper and checking carefully one by one.

It was not until late at night that he checked and counted all the information.

At present, there are 127 households in Xiaowang Village, with a total of 396 people.

What surprised Han Zhen was that there were more young and middle-aged people than he thought, and men aged 16-40 accounted for 31%.
