Chapter 80

(Chapter 3 is given, additional updates!)

The osmanthus trees in the courtyard are decorated with golden flowers, and bursts of refreshing osmanthus fragrance are wafting.

The weather was good today, so the Luo family placed several long tables under the osmanthus tree in the yard and put them together, which was neat and neatly never seen before by the Luo family.

The four married daughters all came back with their husbands and children.

Lao Blacksmith Luo, who was serving and working outside the county, came back, the eldest and second, the third, fourth, and fifth, too. In addition, Lao Liu, who was at home, the man from the Luo family was not absent today.

In addition, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law who married into the Luo family, and the fifth daughter-in-law who has not yet been married.

The long table in the courtyard is already full.

Dad Luo looked at the big table and was very happy. He, who had always been serious, made an exception and asked Xiaoliu to buy a jar of wine early.

"Family reunion, happy today, I have to have two drinks!"

"Old man, I'm happy, too, and I'll have a drink with you." Luo's mother also said.

Luo Cheng was surprised and unexpectedly, Luo's mother also drank.

The wine is made of water wine, and is brewed with a low degree and low purity. The wine is muddy and yellowed, and there are even unfiltered wine lees inside. There are also some wine mosquitoes in the wine.

Such wine tastes bad, but the price is not cheap. In the past, the Luo family could not afford to drink wine. Even during festivals, the Luo family never bought wine, and the food collected by their own family was even more reluctant to make wine.

"Drink them all!" The third brother Siye picked up the wine jar, poured a glass for Luo's father and mother each, then poured a glass for the eldest brother and second brother, and finally filled it with himself.

The fourth brother looked at the third brother, "Brother, I should buy some good wine."

As a result, the third brother glared at him and he stopped talking immediately.

Each of them poured a bowl of wine, and even several son-in-law poured it on.

My eldest brother-in-law Zhou Dewei, whose family is twenty miles away from Nanshan Village, has forty acres of land at home. He is considered a self-cultivated farmer and lives a pretty good life.

The second brother-in-law, the second son-in-law, is the only one among the son-in-law of the Luo family who has read more books. He was once selected by the county and went to Daxing City to take the imperial examination for the Ming and Ming dynasties. Although he failed in the end, he was considered a person who read a lot of books. His grandfather even served as a military officer in the state. Although he was a seventh or eighth rank, he was once an official family. However, when he reached his second brother-in-law's generation, he had a small population and lost his family. He had no land at home, so he just lived for others as a husband.

Life is better than that of the Luo family. Although people are a little bit stingy, they are actually quite good to Yue's family. They never celebrate holidays during festivals.

These two brother-in-law are both in their early thirties. They used to live a good life, and they actually felt a little superior when they came to Yue's family. But this time, they keenly felt different, and the energy of the Luo family increased greatly.

Originally, when the third brother came to invite them home, he had something to ask for, but as soon as he entered the door, his father-in-law first gave them ten coins of money, saying that it was to make up for the dowry that the old lady and second mother had married.

A string of copper coins, a total of ten scattered strings, really shocked them.

After listening to the bragging of the fourth brother, they had some preliminary understanding of the current changes in the Luo family. The Luo family was really developed.

Now the Luo family has a huge land area of ​​270 acres!

Not to mention, copper coins and silk are worth hundreds of cents. The old blacksmith family is now the richest man in Nanshan Village, and even in Nanshan, he can be regarded as the richest man. The former richest man, Wang Laogui, was found to be searched for his family due to a crime, and now many of the family businesses have fallen into the hands of the Luo family.

"Dad, I plan to buy some more land!"

After Luo Cheng took a sip of water and wine, he didn't plan to take another sip. This thing cannot be considered wine at all. It is sour and has a little bitter taste, and even has some unknown taste. He has never drunk such a difficult wine. It is even bitter and difficult to drink than Huiyuan juice mixed with foreign wine.

Even beer is not as good as it is far from the bottom.

"Buy land?" Mr. Luo asked after taking a sip of wine.

"Dad, I think so. Although our family now has 270 acres of land, but our family is like a big family, there is not much land. Another thing is that we received some rewards this time, and we also have 190 stagnant coins of money, 190 pieces of silk, and some seizures on the battlefield. We have a lot of cash. It's useless to keep this money in our hands, so it's better to buy some land. Isn't something wrong with the Wang family? His family has a lot of land, so we can take the opportunity to buy some."

The Great Sui Dynasty had restrictions on the land occupied by people without officials and no titles. People without honors, no titles, no official positions could only own a hundred acres of land at most.

The limit of 100 acres must also include the land granted by the court.

However, Changbai Township has never fully subscribed to the land, so the Lao Luo family is now a man with the second middle school of five-year-old male. Their family has 600 acres of land, 100 acres of each five-year-old male, and 50 acres of each two-year-old male.

Now they have 270 acres, and they can buy up to 330 acres of land.

Generally speaking, buying land is not that easy. First of all, you have to have money, secondly, you have to have land to buy, and secondly, you have to be able to cultivate the land after buying it. The court also investigated the phenomenon of occupying land but not farming. Once discovered, the punishment was very severe.

However, the Luo family has planted land even with 600 acres of land. After all, these days, they have harvested a lot of thin seeds. Even thalassin villages like Nanshan Village have to carry out rotation farming and even have to use some of the fields to plant mulberry seeds.

"The Wang family's land has always been good land, and the land price is not cheap. Moreover, if the government takes it back, it may not be willing to sell it!"

Dad thought for a while.

For a farmer, buying land when he has money is the most natural idea. This is just like when he was in later generations, he always wanted to pay a down payment and buy a house with a mortgage.

In this era, land was the investment with the least risk, the most guaranteed and stable capital.

No matter what you do, it is better to buy land.

"Dad, I'll solve this matter." Luo Cheng smiled.

The third brother also said, "Xiao Wu will be the headmaster of the county soon. It is not a waste of money to buy land normally, so it is no problem."

"How much do you buy?" Dad asked again.

"It's best if you can buy as much as you can. It's best if you can buy a full amount of land."

"Even if you can buy so many, can you get arable farming? There will probably be another major battle next year!" The father sighed.

"After buying the land, we can also buy some plowing oxen and rent some of the land out for other families to plant. As long as we can buy land, we will not have to worry about not being able to farm. As for the major battle next year, you don't have to worry. I have a way here to avoid the service and skip classes." Luo Cheng was confident.

Harsh policies are more powerful than tigers, and heavy labor is even more deadly.

Just like this year, the Luo family was 5 and 2 Middle School, and six of them were taken out of labor service. Luo Wu, who came back the most, had to work for March. If this continues to happen next year, even if there is land, it will be difficult for the family to get a harvest.

"What's the solution?"
