Chapter 15: When a thief comes, he needs to be beaten
Yun Zhao was stunned after hearing what Yun Yang said!
He found that he seemed to have forgotten that he was not in an era of great material abundance, but in the late Ming Dynasty, an era of great material scarcity.
The reason why the Yun Family’s Dafang can make all the difference in the Yun Family Village, and the reason why a woman like her mother can hold the power in the Yun Family, is because the Yun Family’s Dafang controls the most means of production in the village. .
The best seeds are in Yun’s Dafang, the best farm tools are in Yun’s Dafang, and basically all the big livestock are also owned by Yun’s Dafang. In addition, farmers basically have There is no money, and only Yun's mansion has a large amount of copper coins.
In this situation, it is basically impossible for ordinary farmers to stand up.
For farmers without land, raising a cow or mule is an unbearable burden.
Just like Yun Yang wants a knife that can be used for fighting, he needs to go to the stream and borrow the blacksmith's magnet to absorb the iron powder in the sand. After collecting the iron powder, he can smelt it, and then smelt it. Forging over and over again, the extra impurities and carbon in the iron block are knocked out through the sparks produced by the forging, and finally a piece of wrought iron that is not very soft can be obtained.
Wrought iron is too soft to be used as a weapon, so wrought iron and pig iron need to be mixed and smelted in proportion to make steel. This is the so-called steel filling method.
Then the folding and forging processes need to be repeated to make the carbon content in the steel uniform. According to different needs, steel with corresponding carbon content is made into steel, and finally it is forged and quenched into weapons. , or farm implements.
Yun Yang is one of the few young men of the Yun family who has practiced martial arts. Wanting a good sword has been his dream for a long time.
And iron is expensive, which is a luxury for this young man, let alone steel. According to his family’s situation, even if steel is available, his father’s first choice is to build Two plowshares instead of a steel knife.
"Have you collected enough iron sand?"
"Yes!" Yun Yang nodded proudly.
"In this case, you should collect more, and when the blacksmith named Liu Zongmin comes, let him make more knives."
"If your family has money, just buy some It's just iron material."
Yun Zhao looked at Yun Yang sadly without saying a word.
Yun Yang thought for a moment and nodded: "Your mother won't give it to you?"
Yun Zhao patted his shriveled chest and took out two shriveled red dates and handed them to the child. The younger sister said: "There are only two dates."
As soon as there were red dates to eat, the younger sister became quiet. Yun Yang imitated an adult and shook his head helplessly and said: "Then call Yunshu, Yunjuan , you and my brother are coming too, we are collecting iron sand on the beach."
Yun Yang stood up and walked, looked up at the sky, hugged Little Sister Yun and went home to get his things.
Yun Zhao walked slowly and leisurely towards Yunjuan's house.
Yunjuan’s home is more like a pigsty than a home. Yunzhao dove into their dark home and came out immediately.
I didn’t know what to eat, and my mouth was filled with black clouds. Yun Shu walked out of the pig pen and handed a piece of black stuff to Yun Zhao with a smile.
Yun Zhao looked at the black thing suspiciously.
Yun Juan said: "Huang Jing, I dug it when I went to chop wood on Bald Mountain today. It's delicious!"
Yun Zhao shook his head and didn't look at the black stuff. Instead, he looked at the pigsty-like house where the two brothers lived and frowned.
Proletarians are the best revolutionaries. Yun Zhao naturally knows this. However, Yun Zhao also knows the famous saying that proletarians have no perseverance.
If the two brothers want to have a real sense of belonging to the Yun family, they must have certain assets, such as a house, a real, warm house that can shelter from wind and rain.
When Yun Yang brought his younger brother to see Yun Zhao, he found that Yun Zhao had changed his mind and no longer wanted to go digging for iron sand in the creek and build a house instead!
"Go ahead. My classmates and brothers are calling. Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we will do nothing. We will just help Yunjuan and Yunshu build their houses!"
This Yun Zhao didn't ask the two Yunjuan brothers about their intentions, and directly made the decision, not to mention the two brothers' blushing faces.
“We have no money and nothing!”
Yun Zhao glanced at Yunjuan, who was embarrassed and said: “The house can be dilapidated or small, but it cannot be dirty!
p>The husband told us that the house can be broken down because there is no money. If the house is dirty, it means that the person has no ambition.
I will not allow my brother to live there. In the pig pen, my brother is not allowed to live in shabby clothes.
We brothers will do big things in the future. If we can't even handle such small things as the house, what the hell. "It's a big deal."
Yun Yang was randomly moved when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and said, "We can help them build a house. We don't have anything like wood, thatch, nails, or ropes." ."
Yun Zhao sniffed and said: "I will take you to my house to get it."
Yun Yang said awkwardly: "The lady will not agree."
Yun Zhao said angrily: "Then just steal it. My mother will come over and say that I asked you to take it, and I have decided to build this house."
"You will get beaten! "
"Even if they get beaten, it is better than living in a pig pen for many years. Stop talking nonsense, looking for people, and stealing things!"
Brother Yun Shu Yunjuan! Both of them had tears streaming down their faces, and they didn't even know half of Huang Jing fell to the ground. They just cried with their mouths open.
Yun Yang said with a smile on the side: "Let's go steal together, it's amazing that we are punished by the eldest lady!"
Yun Zhao himself had no intention of taking on this matter by himself. Yun Yang was very satisfied with his performance.
Not long after, classmates from the school arrived one after another. They all looked very excited when they heard that Yun Zhao, a young master from a landlord's family, was going to lead a group of people to steal their belongings.
The idea of stealing the Yun family's big house has been in their minds for a long time. If they were not afraid of the housekeeper Yun Fu and those sturdy servants, they would have done it long ago.
Yun Zhao made some arrangements in the middle, and the group of people dispersed happily, leaving only five or six half-year-old boys demolishing Yun Shu Yunjuan's rotten pig pen.
When the spring rain came, the owner of Yun's big house felt relieved. Yun Niang, who had always been elegant, was also in the mood to take out the embroidered quilt that had been dusted for a long time and looked at a bouquet of gorgeous apricot flowers blooming outside the window. Stitch by stitch, the charming charm of the apricot blossom is displayed on a piece of blue silk.
Grandma Qin ran in in a panic, and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "Madam, someone stole the wood piled outside our gate!"
Yun Niang scratched her head. He stood up, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "What does Yunfu do for food? Let the servants catch the thieves and give them a beating!"
Grandma Qin said quickly: "It's all The leader of the students in the school is our young master!"
"Oh, that's it!" Yun Niang sat down slowly and picked up the embroidery quilt again: "Go and find out, this kid! How crazy are you?"
Grandma Qin left in a hurry. Yun Niang looked at the branch of apricot blossoms outside the window and said to herself: "This child is really troublesome... No, my son never does useless things... Why do you steal your own things?
Chunchun, go to the front yard study to see if Mr. Xu has returned from his trip to Yushan. If he has, Just tell the teacher that his student is working as a thief!"
Yunchun, who was learning embroidery from the lady, agreed crisply and hurried into the rain.
Yunniang shook her head helplessly and continued to focus on the embroidery. < /p>
Yun Niang rolled her eyes at Yunchun, reached out and pinched the little maid and said, "After you finish speaking, you know how to say half and leave half. Why, do you feel sorry for your young master?"< /p>
Yun Chun knelt on the ground with a puff and wiped his tears and said: "The master also said that the young master will be severely punished, and no one else can be spared. All thieves must remember this punishment!"
Yunniang burst out laughing, picked up the embroidery bag again and said, "I knew it would be like this."
Yunchun took two steps and hugged Yunniang's legs. She begged, "Please, madam, please let the young master go. The young master is very obedient and never does bad things. It must be Yun Yang and the others who deceived the young master and then did the bad things."
Yun Niang lowered her head and saw that it had already begun. The crying little maid snorted softly, gritted her teeth and said, "This little bastard really knows how to behave."
After saying that, she raised her leg and kicked Yunchun away gently.
“Go, go, go, what do you, a stupid maid, know? Tell Yunfu that if they want to be thieves, don't stop them. I want to see what they want to do. ”
