Pastoral Song [Farming]

"compensation?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a deep voice from behind, and Tian Li's fat body trembled instantly, thinking that what the villagers said was true, how could this Jiang Ye be like a poisonous snake? , but thinking about the vain money, she still plucked up the courage to continue: "We don't want more from you, twenty taels, our brother Yu is engaged, you are not destroying his innocence, what about his husband's family?" Miss us Brother Yu."

"Twenty Liang, this Tian Li really dares to ask for it." The people in the courtyard began to whisper, not knowing whether it was jealousy or envy.

The average yearly expenses of a general farmer's family is only six or seven taels, and it is enough to save a little four or five taels. This Tian Li's opening is twenty taels, which is three or four years of expenses.

Looking at this vicious and greedy family, Makino is really rotten: "You probably didn't understand what I said just now, so let me say it again: I, Tian Yu, will change my name and surname in the future and decide to be Muye. Irrelationship. If you disagree, it’s okay. We can go to the Yamen right now and ask the county magistrate what crime it is to murder someone’s life. Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unrighteous. I have died once. There is nothing to be afraid of, but when the time comes, your youngest son's scientific examination may not go well, family murderer, tsk tsk tsk."

The reason why Makino dared to say that was thanks to the gift from the current Holy One.After promulgating the new law today, in order to implement it better, it is required that the yamen must be spread to every household.Tian Yu grew up in this village and did not know a single word, but there was a student named Tian Cheng at home, who would often read some articles and poems in the house, and Tian Yu secretly hid under the eaves and memorized them. After a long time, her memory improved Not to mention, the meaning of some uncommon words and phrases can also be figured out.At that time, when the yamen asked an old scholar who could read and write to lecture on the law in front of the ancestral hall, Tian Yu listened very carefully, and even now remembers some of the regulations.

The newly promulgated punishment divides the crime of homicide into seven categories. For the convenience of remembering, everyone calls them "seven killings".The seven killings are specifically divided into: murder, robbery, intentional killing, fighting killing, manslaughter, joking killing, and negligent killing.Among them, robbing and killing refers to killing people while robbing prisoners; murder refers to killing people in an organized and premeditated manner;Conspiracy, robbery, crime, and fighting are all punished according to the law, such as beheading and strangling, basically to "pay for life".As for manslaughter, joking, and manslaughter, although the crime is not fatal, it will still flow for three thousand miles.

Among them, there is one article that shocked many people, "If you kill your child without authorization, you will be tattooed as a city danchong", which means that parents who kill their children at will will be severely punished.Even if it is a manslaughter, the parents will also be tattooed, with tattoos on the forehead or cheekbones.

Lingnan country is sparsely populated, and many protections like this have been introduced, but there are still countless people who died unexpectedly. Although there is such a law, who will really sue?Not to mention that it has only been implemented for less than two years, who dares to treat himself as a guinea pig and sue his parents, if it doesn't work, what good will it do?Not to mention the deep-rooted feudal thought that the father wants the son to die, and the son has to obey.

Muye knew that even if he didn't sue for murder, he could still kill manslaughter, and the Tian family might not be able to deal with it.Although it is said that the son sued his parents as unfilial, and the official may not punish the Tian family if he sees him living a good life, but now that the law is being implemented in full swing, if he does not express his position, people will seize the opportunity and sue him , I'm afraid this official career is not good.In order to warn these unscrupulous people not to cause trouble, the Tian family must pay some money.Coupled with the innate "people do not fight with officials" of farmers.They are unwilling and dare not have anything to do with the government.

But Makino also knew that if it really got to that point, he wouldn't be able to get anything good.It’s fine if you meet a good official who is dedicated to serving the people, but if you meet a corrupt official or an old fritter with high qualifications, he will probably hate himself. After all, this kind of thing is caused by himself. In their opinion, you are a brother Just listen to the family talk honestly, what's the trouble.If you are small-minded, you will make trouble for yourself from time to time, which is enough to be aggrieved and upset.

Makino just wanted to scare the Tian family temporarily and separate himself.He even wanted to buy a few books of the law before he settled down, and studied it carefully.In the past, Tian Yu didn't even go out to this village, so he only heard about many things, but Muye knew that if he wanted to live comfortably, he definitely couldn't live in this one-third of an acre of land, so it is very necessary to understand this era matter.

As soon as Makino finished speaking, Tian Lixiao's face immediately changed. He didn't want to care about the troubles at home, but Tian Yu was right in one point. If there was a big trouble, it would definitely affect Tian Cheng's scientific research.

According to the regulations of the Lingnan Kingdom, there must be someone to be a guarantor in the examination of a scholar, and before the examination, there will be a special person to investigate the candidate's character and whether his behavior is correct.Such officials are called investigators, and these investigators change every year and are dispatched randomly. Before that, no one knew which investigator would come to investigate.Although there are also many students with bad conduct who bribe (huiluo) investigators with money and jewels to get through, it depends on who the investigator is.What's more, this money may not be available due to their family's conditions.He also counted on Tian Cheng to be a scholar, and he could be the father of a scholar, and follow the scenery.

Tian Lishi didn't think so much, she only saw that Tian Yu, who was submissive in the past, dared not listen to her now, and threatened her with the future of her youngest son, she immediately became angry: "You vicious and scumbag, how dare you Curse my son, you have the ability to go, what proof do you have? I am your mother, I will let you die, and you will die."

Makino thought: "Why are you yelling so loudly, I can hear you." It's really pitiful for him to be reduced to arguing with a woman in the field.He knew that he was really not good at quarreling with people, and if he went on like this, he would not be able to handle it anymore, so he needed a quick solution.

Mu is pitiful and will never admit that when he hears other people making loud noises, he will reflexively give up.

At this moment, Jiang Ye had already walked to Muye. Muye tilted his head, and winked at him with a smile, "Brother Jiang, can you give me a certificate?" It was Jiang Ye who dug him out, and he also asked him The doctor, besides himself, I am afraid he knows most about this matter.

Jiang Ye had never met such a lively brother who flirted with him in public and flirted with him.Yes, Jiang Ye thinks it's flirting.However, Jiang Ye was used to being expressionless. No matter what was on his mind, he never showed it on his face. He didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He said coldly, "Yes."

"Look, I also have witnesses." Makino looked at his sweetheart standing next to him, unknowingly wavering again.

Just as Tian Lishi was about to speak, Muye interrupted her.

"However, even if there are no witnesses, you say that if I go to the gate of the academy and tell everyone a story about how their classmate Tian Cheng's family abused their own brother, and how they buried their seriously ill brother alive, I don’t know if everyone is interested or not. Although I can’t let you go to prison for a while, it’s easy to tarnish the reputation of your old Tian family, not to mention that everyone knows that some things are true or false.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly stared at Lishi Tian viciously, and said word by word: "So let me say this for the last time, don't mess with me in the future, or we will die. Since you won't make me feel better, then you don't want to make it easier either. I, Makino, have bare feet and are not afraid of wearing shoes. If you have the ability, you can kill me again, or I will definitely let your whole family die."

Makino knew that there was no way to reason with such unreasonable people, so he simply used the most rogue method to solve it.They all said that they were afraid of being stunned, and they were afraid of dying. Looking at the dumbfounded faces of Lao Tian's family across the way, Mu Ye felt that this sentence was true.

Just as I was about to go back to the house, I suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "Master Qi, please be a witness. I will go to the village chief to apply for household registration tomorrow, so I have to trouble you. Thank you in advance from Muye, and I will visit you later. .”

Look at this old man with golden eyes, if you don't allow him some benefits, maybe you will come up with something.

After speaking, he followed Jiang Ye into the house without looking back, leaving behind a whole yard of stunned people.

"This Tian Yu, oh, what will he be called Mu in the future?"

"Makino"

"Oh, Makino, it was really scary just now, his eyes are like swallowing people alive, so stay away from him in the future, so as not to cause any trouble."

Tian Lixiao knew that if he continued to stay, he would only be judged by others, so he dragged Tian Li and Tian Yue who was stunned aside, and hurried home, and sent a message to his son in the academy, telling him to go home when he had time.This son is so smart, he must have a solution.

As soon as he returned to the room, Makino collapsed on the chair. His body was already severely damaged. After standing for so long just now, he was so angry that he had already collapsed.

There was a moment of silence in the room, Makino was suddenly sad and wanted to cry, he knew it wasn't his emotions, but Tian Yu's.When Makino looked at Tian Yu's memories, he knew that this child hardly cried. He probably knew that crying was useless. His family never regarded him as a human being. He was raised with food when he was young. From the beginning of sensible work, he did all the dirty work at home. He lived for 18 years, starved for 18 years, suffered for 18 years, and was tortured for 18 years.Every day, year after year, he hopes that his family will treat him better and have a full meal.But I was disappointed day by day year after year, and I didn't know what it was like to have a full stomach until I died.Not to mention that in the second year after Tian Li entered the door, a little brother and a young man were born in the family. As the saying goes, with a stepmother, you have a stepfather, especially his father always hated him, saying that he lived in the Tian family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the dire straits are hot.

Speaking of Tian Yu's unpopularity, there are also some other reasons.After all, although he is a brother, he is a beautiful brother. When he grows up, he can find a better family and get a generous dowry, but...

The author has something to say: The "seven killings" mentioned in the article appeared in the Tang law, and "killing a son without a will, tattooing him as a city danchong" is recorded in the Qin law, but it is more about filial piety constraints, and there are other Some conditions can be established.The article is written in this way to make it easier to solve some current problems. If you don’t know when you can enter the text if you are noisy, it will be quite boring.
