Now Zhou Yu's temperament has changed a lot. In the past year, he has not visited friends everywhere like before. Instead, he stayed at home to study the art of literature. His father's words made him alert. If Luo Xin and Zhang Xun passed the exam in the future, but he failed the exam, there would be no place to let this face go.

His foundation was already good. In the past year, Luo Xin kept communicating with him and Zhang Xun, which gave Zhou Yu's literary art a qualitative leap. The elegant spirit of his body became stronger.

Zhang Xun is now in his prime and takes his name as Ziyu.

His knowledge also made great progress, and he had a qualitative leap. He studied hard in the county, and had regular guidance from Zhou Zhixian and the experience that Luo Xin brought from Lu Tingfang. His bookish spirit was very strong.

Although Luo Qing is one year younger than Zhang Xun, his height is already more than Zhang Xun, and he is only two fingers shorter than Zhou Yu, who is twenty years old. His body is mixed with heroic and elegant spirit, and has a different style. This is thanks to his martial arts and military calligraphy.

Luo Xin is the youngest, only eleven years old, but his figure is close to Zhang Xun, but he looks a little shorter than Zhang Xun. His temperament is different. His elegant temperament reveals a kind of elegance and freedom. This elegance and freedom come from his persistence in practicing Taoist Tai Chi every day and has already started.

It's the New Year now, so they naturally don't discuss the art of literary creation. That thing is too boring. The four brothers started chatting in a vast and vast way, and now Luo Qing is becoming very natural when sitting with the other three brothers. He can fully understand what the three brothers say and can also participate.

Of course, there are also times when Luo Qing cannot participate, such as writing poetry.

However, Luo Qing is no longer embarrassed when encountering this situation. Luo Xin once told him that no one is omnipotent, and it is nothing to know how to write poetry. So whenever he writes poetry, he sits there with a smile and looks at the three brothers. Sometimes, whoever does it is too bad, he laughs.

Days pass by day.

Luo Xin's homework is getting better and better, but he is not happy at all. The days are approaching the autumn harvest day by day. This year's situation is indeed not very good. The crops are better than last year. According to my father, there should be 60% of the harvest.

but……

But the court restored taxes...

If this were nothing in normal times, wouldn’t it be that I had paid so much tax before?

But it was just a disaster last year!

The people's homes have no surplus food, and they have finally survived last year. If the tax is paid this year, they will endure hunger and even be unable to survive, and they will sell their ancestral property or even sell themselves as slaves.

Everything is for life!

Even Luo Xin's family gradually disappeared from surplus grain. If Luo Xin hadn't had the confidence in his heart that he could borrow grain from Zhang Shu, Lu Tingfang or Zhou Tingyu, he would have been panicked at this time.

If there were no such ways to borrow grain, the Luo Xin family would only sell the farm that he had just bought and the fertile land he had just bought and return to his difficult life in the past. Even if the scenery next year is better, the Luo Xin family would still be a poor peasant.

Luo Xin didn't want to borrow food. He always felt that if he was a time traveler, if he could not solve this problem with his own abilities, it would be embarrassing for time travelers.

He also regarded the food shortage at home as a test for himself. If he could even solve the food shortage himself, then he would not be afraid to face Yan Song and Xu Jie when he became an official in the future.

He has the confidence to solve all problems as long as he is willing to work hard!

but……

If he cannot come up with a way to solve the food shortage at home this time, he feels that he will lose confidence. In the future, he will definitely encounter a more difficult dilemma than this. He cannot even solve the current dilemma. How can he face the difficult dilemma in the future?

This day.

Luo Xin rode his elder brother's horse to the county town alone, and it was time to go to Lu Tingfang's home to study. When riding on the horse, Luo Xin was a little absent-minded and thought about ways to make money.

The surplus grain at home may not be supported by this method of eating it for a month, so I must come up with a way to make money within half a month. Some people in the village have started selling land and houses.

The land seller is fine. Although there is no land, as long as you have a good job in crops, you can do long-term work.

In fact, in ancient times, the life of long-term workers was not as poor as later generations imagined and was oppressed by landlords. Instead, the landlords were mainly treated well by long-term workers. Long-term workers were not slaves. The landlords were not good to long-term workers this year, and the next year, the long-term workers did not farm land for the landlords, but for other people's homes.

If a landlord has a reputation as a harsh long-term worker and bullying long-term worker, all long-term workers will not dare to farm for him. In this way, even if the landlord has thousands of hectares of good land, he will live a poor life because no one planted those lands for him, he can only waste it.

But not only the land seller but also the people who sell houses are much more miserable. After they eat up all the food they get from selling houses and land, they really don’t live or eat. There are only two ways to give them, one is to become refugees and the other is to sell themselves as slaves.

Once you sign a contract and become a slave to someone else's family, you will lose all your freedom and even your life does not belong to you. Even if the master kills the slave, you will not be punished, at most you will be fined a few dollars.

So in order to avoid becoming a slave, some people don’t want to starve to death, they sell their children and daughters. Of course, some people want to sell themselves, but rich families don’t want it, they only need young people.

Now, people have started to sell themselves as slaves in Shanglin Village, and people from other villages have come to Shanglin Village to beg for food and sell themselves as slaves.

Now there are only three villages in Shanglin Village. Others say that the courtyard is larger at most. Unlike these three villages, they cover a wide area. As long as you look from the outside, you will know that they are wealthy families.

The first-ranked Dazhuangzi is the village chief Zhang Shu family, the second-ranked Zhuangzi is the one that Lu Tingfang bought and was going to give to Luo Xin, and the third-ranked Luo Xin family is the current Luo Xin family.

The Luo Xin family is almost unable to live their own life, so naturally they will not buy slaves. And Lu Tingfang doesn't know much about it. The Zhuangzi originally wanted to give it to Luo Xin, but now Luo Xin doesn't want it. He just sent a few servants to manage it there, what kind of slaves to buy?

Besides, with his current situation, low-key is the way to survive.

In this way, the only one who owns the largest farmhouse is Zhang Shu bought a few maids and servants. Anyway, this year's season is not much money, and it doesn't even cost money. Five kilograms of millet can be replaced by a big girl as a maid.
