"Then, should we prepare in advance?"

Guo Deng asked Li Kai if he wanted to make some battles and welcomed Shangshu Xu.

Lee smiled.

"You don't know what kind of Shangshu Xu is? Those who can take off their official uniforms and work with us, you say that you look down on Shangshu Xu."

"Oh, I dare not say that!"

Guo Deng quickly waved his hand: "Then, do nothing? Just wait like that?"

"It still has to be done. The township chief said, let you gather everyone together tomorrow morning, men, women, and young people. Xu Shangshu will take everyone to every inch of land in the village, personally check whether there are locusts in this land, and then teach everyone, so that everyone can learn to check every day to ensure that the locusts cannot rise this year."

"When this is calculated, it seems to be almost done."

Guo Deng nodded: "Okay, uncle knows, I'll make sure to arrange it for you tomorrow!"

"Okay, that uncle, I'll leave first, oh by the way, and there's also."

Li Kai said again: "I told you a few days ago that the village was going to do a school school. How were the people in the village thinking? This is a good opportunity to turn over the study. You can't miss it. You can't even care about lunch!

There has been no such good thing in the past thousand years. As the Emperor of Qin did this, we should not miss this opportunity. The village head said that the school will start in the spring of next year, and we must send the list in advance."

Guo Deng smiled immediately.

"What you said is, can I not support your uncle? It's not that good at studying, but it doesn't cost money. Can we not agree? There are 100 families in the village, every family has children, at least 100 children. I promise to send them to the school. Who dares not go? I'll suck his butt!"

Li Kai smiled too.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. The village chief has something to tell me, so you can prepare well."

"Don't worry!"

Li Kai nodded and rode his horse away. Guo Deng walked back under the shade of the tree. Guo asked, "What did the Li boy say?"

"Let's prepare, Xu Shangshu is coming tomorrow morning."

The family was stunned.

"Shangshu Xu?Shangshu Xu Guangqi?"

Guo asked with his eyes wide open.

Guo Deng nodded.

"Yes, Xu Shangshu is going to lead us to check the locusts in person to see if there are locusts in our field. Now it's time. In April and May, didn't Xu Shangshu personally lead people to check the locusts in Lantian County? Now it's here."

The family was immediately excited.

"Dad, Shangshu Xu! Official! Let's... let's prepare quickly?"

The eldest son asked immediately.

"What are you preparing for? You don't know who Xu Shangshu is?"

Guo Deng gave his eldest son a blank look: "If you can follow us to work in short-term work, you just look down on Xu Shangshu! You should do whatever you should do. Tomorrow morning, the whole village gathers together to follow Xu Shangshu to check locusts, that's all."

"That's all?"

My family is still a little worried.

"That's it! Now it's the world of Qin, not the world of Ming Dynasty. There is no landlord who is pressing on us to collect rent. Officials will no longer bully us. You, I am a sesame official now, and I will receive a salary. Have I bullied you?"

The whole family was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud.

"Dad, what kind of official are you? You're just a messenger!"

When facing his family, Guo Deng also smiled.

"What's wrong with the message? Isn't your father arranged the big and small things in the village? Alright, eat quickly and do whatever you should do after eating. By the way, the boy from the Li family told me something just now, which means that the school will be held in our village at the beginning of the spring of the year, and all the five boys in our family will go to school."

Except for the five little unknowns, the adults at home looked at each other.

"Really, Dad? Didn't you fool us by joking?"

The second son looked dull.

"What you said is that the emperor and the emperor are so powerful that he can't pursue it. That's a golden word. How could he fool us?"

Guo Deng glared at him and was very upset.

"No, dad, this... I don't spend money to let our children read and read, and I also care about lunch. This... it's unlikely that I think about it..."

The third son agreed.

"What's impossible? We all have 240 acres of land. Is it possible before? Now we don't have it anymore? Your father, I am the miserable life of a tenant farmer, and now I am the president of the farmer association. In the past, do you believe it? Isn't it still true?"

Guo Deng frowned and scolded his family: "Everyone said that the weather has changed. There is no Ming Dynasty. Now it is our Daqin. Does the Qin Dynasty understand? There are not so many rents and taxes. The emperor gave us the opportunity to read and read. Is it because the kids are blind like us?"

My family members look at me, and I look at you, and I think what my father said is right.

"Dad, we are either unwilling to do it or being scared. We don't dare to believe it. How could the court do such a good thing? In the past, those officials and masters were all fierce, but now they have changed?"

The fourth son's face was hesitant.

Guo Deng sighed and touched his head.

"What do you want your father to say about this? But we all have to think about it. After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, after the officials came, did they deceive us? If they say they would divide the land, they would give cattle, they would give them agricultural tools, and they would give them taxes. This is real."

After Guo Deng said this, his family had nothing to say, and this was indeed true.

"So, the government said that we should give us the opportunity to study, which is true. We should send all the children, study, recognize words, and strive to be promising people in the future. Don't eat a bun like we used to, and the hungry chest is on the back..."

As he said this, Guo Deng's eyes turned red again. When he remembered what happened before, he just couldn't get better.

The family comforted a few words, after dinner, the men continued to farm the land, while the women went back to make clothes for the garrison troops. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty never disturbed the people, nor stole or robbed them. During the busy farming season, they would take the initiative to help everyone, and everyone was willing to make clothes and shoes for them.

The winter in Guanzhong is cold, and it has become even colder in recent days. No one wants to let these men who are willing to help everyone with farm work and don’t have money to freeze.

At night, before the sun sets, the whole family finished work and got together for dinner. They were having fun and laughing, and they didn’t eat a lot, but at least they could fill their stomachs, which was very satisfying.

After that, it became dark and the family went back to their own houses and went to bed.

Nowadays, people can’t afford lamps. When it gets dark, they lie down in bed and sleep. They either do some human-making exercises or fall asleep. Life in the farm is so simple and simple.
