Zhang Jiacheng dragged his plow and walked step by step on the field, breathing heavily, his blue blood vessels twining like the roots of an old tree. On the neck, sweat rolled down the dark skin.
Behind him, a little woman about ten years old was holding on to the plow. It could be seen that she was already working very hard to push the plowshare down.
Even if people are used as livestock, the furrows Zhang Jiacheng plows are still very shallow.
Zhang Jiacheng was not dissatisfied with this. The court allocated twelve acres of land to his father and daughter, of which three acres were irrigated land, six acres of dry land, and three acres of hillside land.
He plowed the paddy field bit by bit with a shovel, and it is now being ventilated. In two days, when all the grass roots dug up have been burned to death by the sun, he can use a bamboo grinder to smooth the ground. Then start sowing.
There were too many dry fields and there was no way to plow the ground with a shovel, so we had to borrow a plow and use people to pull it.
One person cultivating nine acres of land is obviously a life-threatening business.
However, Zhang Jiacheng did not feel tired. He felt that if these lands were not planted with food, his life would be meaningless.
For many, many years, Zhang Jiacheng’s family has not had land. As long as he can remember, their family has farmed other people’s land. He is a person who likes farming. His father and grandfather both It's a good way to grow crops... However, their family has no land.
Now that he suddenly has land, Zhang Jiacheng doesn’t feel tired.
From sunrise to the scorching sun, Zhang Jiacheng dragged the plow and plowed half an acre of land. Looking back, he saw that sweat had made strands of his daughter’s hair stick to her forehead. Zhang Jiacheng couldn’t bear it. Feeling distressed.
"Daughter, take a rest."
"Dad, I'm not tired."
"How can I not be tired from hard work."
Zhang Jiacheng worked hard to pull the plow to the edge of the field, then put down the rope and sat with his daughter under the tree to rest.
Cai Danzi is not a good thing, but it is the only food for the father and daughter at present, and it is very delicious.
"This land is full of corn. When autumn comes, daddy will cook corn for you to eat."
The girl did not listen to her father's words, but looked enviously at what was happening in the field next to her. Large farm animals.
It would be great to have big animals to plow the land. The furrows are deep and neat, unlike her land, which only has some messy shallow furrows.
This scene fell into the eyes of Liang Ying, a wise man, and she just sighed and left.
The government stipulates that only three people can form a family, and Zhang Jiacheng's family can only have two people. The government also stipulates that only a family of three can borrow an animal from the court, and Zhang Jiacheng's family can only have two people.
In fact, as long as Zhang Jiacheng marries a wife during this period, everything will be solved, but Zhang Jiacheng refuses!
There are many helpless women in the capital, and Zhang Jiacheng doesn’t want any of them, because these women are all taken by Li Hongji.They have been ruined... They are obviously victims, but no one is willing to accept them... not a single one.
Because they were both women, Xu Wu thought it was natural to leave the matter of how to arrange these women to Liang Ying.
She originally thought this was an easy task to complete. After all, after the capital city experienced such a disaster, countless families were broken up and people died.
It is a very beautiful thing for everyone to comfort each other, hold each other together, and then continue to support each other to survive. Unfortunately, people in the capital don't see it that way.
Just like Zhang Jiacheng, he would rather plow the land by himself than find a suitable woman to start a new family from the orphanage run by Liang Ying.
They refused very firmly, leaving almost no room for negotiation.
Liang Ying walked over from the other side of Zhang Jiacheng’s field.
This honest farm man knew Liang Ying’s identity, so he bent over and said hello with a smiling face.
Liang Ying leaned over and pinched a handful of soil from the ground, kneaded it in his hands, looked at the quality of the soil, then threw away the soil and said to Zhang Jiacheng: "It's a good land, although it is dry land. It's good for growing corn." It is still feasible. If you plant some peanuts in the corn field, the output of these few acres of dry land will not necessarily be worse than that of the three acres of irrigated land."
Zhang Jiacheng laughed and said, "We don't have enough labor. I can't do such delicate work."
Liang Ying said with a smile: "You and I are the only two people in the family, and you haven't thought about marrying one of them. There are many daughters from good families in the orphanage. It's so good for a family of three, not to mention that after you get married, your family will be enough for three people, and you can also get a big animal from the government.
You can raise it for two years until the big animal is born. Son, isn't it good to return the kid to the government and leave a big animal behind?"
Zhang Jiacheng's originally smiling black face turned completely dark. He looked at Liang Ying and said, "My mother-in-law is there. When the beast wanted to harm her, he used a pair of scissors on his chest and left us, father and daughter.
Why did those women in the orphanage do what my mother-in-law could do? Not even?
Even if I, Zhang Jiacheng, live with my daughter for the rest of my life, I will not want those women who insult my ancestors.”
It’s hard to say anything at this level.
Liang Ying sighed and said: "They are also pitiful..."
Zhang Jiacheng shouted angrily: "Why don't they die?"
Liang Ying He said angrily: "Shut up, when your wife was in trouble, why didn't you go up and fight the bandits?"
Zhang Jiacheng pulled open his clothes and pointed at a terrifying scar on his thin chest. Said: "I tried my best, and so did the baby's mother. It's because God pitied my baby that he couldn't live without his parents, so he allowed me to crawl back from the dead.
Master Guan, the Zhang family Although it is not a wealthy family, it is a respectable family. If I marry a rotten woman, will my child be able to be considered a good family member in the future?
There is no wealthy family?It's just that life is difficult. As long as I work hard in the fields, life will get better. In the future, I will make money to buy big animals, which will make me more energetic. ”
Liang Ying sighed, the governor was right, the current capital is a place filled with anger.
Everyone’s heart is full of anger, and this anger has no power. Venting everywhere has resulted in the current situation where everyone is mean.
In fact, there is one less person to take the lead in this matter. As long as one person takes the lead, others will follow immediately, and things will be easier to handle.
In fact, there are still people who want to marry women in the orphanage, and there are many, but Liang Ying became furious after he sent people to investigate their backgrounds.
Most of these people are scoundrels in the capital. These bastards actually want to get those poor women out under the guise of asking for wives, take away the benefits given by the court, and then let these women work as half-closed prostitutes to support them.
These bastards not only wanted to get those women from the orphanage, they also collected many of these poor women to make a profit before the imperial army entered the city.
Liang. When Ying first entered the city, she entered Beijing as a kind-hearted female official. She believed that with her special status as a female official, she could carry out her work better.
When she took the government officials with her. After they found the women controlled by the gangsters, they witnessed a hellish scene.
The gangsters even threatened Liang Ying. If the women in the orphanage were not given to them, even Liang Ying would be killed. He couldn't even protect himself.
Then, this seemingly harmless female official drew her sword in anger.
In front of the horrified eyes of the people in the capital, Liang Ying held a knife. From the front to the back of the filthy Luo Street, she killed sixteen scoundrels in one go in the name of quelling the chaos.
When she was full. When he walked out of Jiluo Street covered in blood, the people in the capital who were watching the incident were all terrified. Those who had no time to escape and were controlled by the government officials all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Even so, he was born. Liang Ying, a veteran secret agent of the Secret Intelligence Department, knew deeply that if these rogues could not be killed and beaten to death, such evil things would happen again in the future.
, Liang Ying personally killed Level 6 in the street, establishing her reputation as "Living Yama" in one fell swoop. At this point, Liang Ying was able to speak her mind in her own jurisdiction in the capital, and the rogues who were lucky enough to survive also fled her jurisdiction.
However, as a result, the number of women temporarily placed in the orphanage has doubled...
"The possibility of placing these women in the hometown is almost gone. ”
When she saw Xu Wu wanted to follow Zuo Maodi again, Liang Ying was somewhat frustrated. She had done a lot of work and even set the threshold for receiving welfare for those disabled families, but she still failed to achieve her goal. .
Zuo Maodi laughed silently and said: "Jingcheng, Jingcheng, the people here live like this.With such a face, they think they are people who have seen the big world, and think that they are an example for the people in the world.
Although they performed poorly when the bandits came, this still did not allow them to give up the idea of being superior to others.
If Dali Chang uses the power of your "Living Yama", this matter can still be carried out. However, in this way, when these people in the capital have been wronged by you, they will Get it back from those poor women.
So, this is the last resort.
Xu Wuxiang frowned and said: "Liang Ying, this is your business. If you can't do it well, I will only ask you. If you think more about it, there will always be a solution. Don't always put yourself in trouble." Delegate the job to your superior.
From the way you look, it seems that you already have an idea, and you just want me and Lao Zuo to be your backers. This is not okay. You are responsible for your own ideas.
Lao Zuo, don’t look at Liang Ying in pity. You are her superior officer. You should have seen her resume. Huh, as a person from the Secret Service, if you still do it before killing people and suppressing riots, Without thinking of countermeasures, she is not a qualified Lantian official. ”
Zuo Maodi looked at Liang Ying suspiciously. He also felt strange that the officials under Lantian did not have the habit of handing over their official duties to superiors casually. These people were officials and did a lot of things. She is independent and ruthless. If she really wants to hand over official duties, there is only one reason, and that is - her method may involve violations, and they need to find someone with a big head to take the blame.
"Tell me about it. Well, what on earth are you going to do? ”
“The women from the surrounding areas of the capital are assigned to the capital, and the officials from the capital are assigned to the surrounding areas of the capital. "
Xu Wuxiang was shocked when he heard this. He pointed at Liang Ying and said: "Official matches in different places can only be maintained for a while and cannot be kept secret for a lifetime. Doing so will cause endless troubles. "
Liang Ying sneered and said: "People here can even do such nasty things as buying marriages and walking marriages. I don't believe that they are really all innocent people who want face."
The reason why I refuse to accept them now is purely bullying. Since the two superiors do not agree with my method of long-distance marriage, then give me some more support. I want to reform these women and let those who are today Those bastards who look down on them will never be able to climb high in the future! ”
