I

Zhao Han didn't immediately refuse, but said, "I want to discuss it with my sister."

Fei Yinghuan didn't force it, she smiled and said, "Move chopsticks and eat."

Chapter 013 [The World's No. [-] Brothel]

County government office, punishment room.

An old official came with a booklet in his hand, with a slightly flattering tone: "Little Young Master, this is the "Da Ming Law"."

"Thank you sir." Zhao Han took it with both hands.

The old official smiled and said, "I don't dare to be."

All day long and bored, Zhao Han thought about getting a copy of "The Law of the Great Ming".

First, you can pass the time, second, you can familiarize yourself with traditional Chinese characters, and third, you can understand the legal knowledge of the Ming Dynasty.

The officials of the county government could not figure out the details of Zhao Han.Some people think he is Fei Yinghuan's junior, some think he is Wang Yongshi's junior, anyway, they are quite respectful to Zhao Han, tacitly allowing him to come and go freely in the county office.

The power of a fox and a tiger, Zhao Han won the samadhi!

As for the book boy, of course Zhao Han didn't discuss it with the younger sister, Zhao Zhenfang would definitely say "I listen to the second brother".

As a domestic slave, as long as he is not abused, he has no psychological burden.

At least it's better than being a beggar. In two or three months, it will be winter.In the Little Ice Age, the winter in the south may not be easy. What if a little girl gets sick and has a fever again?

As long as I can grow up to be an adult, I won't leave if I say go!

Will runaway slaves become black households?

Hehe, I was originally a refugee, and it seemed that I had nothing to lose.

What's more, Daming is about to end, and when the time comes, there will be refugees everywhere, and maybe they will be able to do a great job.

Being an obedient citizen under the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Han felt that he did not have that blessing, and the hairstyle of the money rat tail was too ugly.It is necessary to fight for a while. It is best to succeed. If you fail, you can become a monk, or go into exile with your little sister.

The reason why Fei Yinghuan didn't agree immediately was purely because he wanted to wait for Wang's return. What if Wang Magistrate could provide better conditions?

……

Sitting in the torture chamber, Zhao Han opened the "Law of the Great Ming".

The opening chapter is a preface written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, expounding the original intention and significance of promulgating the "Daming Law", followed by the ritual system of mourning for the elders.

Funeral five costumes, cut decline, Qi decline, great power, small power, numbness.

In fact, according to the distance between relatives, the deceased is dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and the styles of each mourning dress are different.

It's not difficult for Zhao Han to guess, but there are still some terms that he can't understand, so he can only ask the old officials in the punishment room: "Sir, I can understand stepmother, adoptive mother, auntie, biological mother, and stepmother. Who is the loving mother in particular?"

The old official explained patiently: "The mother or biological mother died of illness, and the child is raised by the father's concubine, and this concubine is the son's loving mother."

"So it is." Zhao Han suddenly realized.

Judicial terms are indeed different from common sayings and must be answered by professionals.

After Zhao Han finished reading the "Service Order", he had to feel that the etiquette was cumbersome.

For example, if a concubine can give birth to a son, the husband's other children must call the concubine "concubine mother".If you can't have a son, you don't have the qualifications to be a "concubine mother", and you won't get the family status you deserve.It's really a mother and a child!

Looking further down, Zhao Han suddenly regained his senses.

Good guy, Ling Chi chapter!

And there are still a lot of entries in Ling Chi, not just a big crime of treason.

If there is no reason to kill a family of three or more, the presiding judge can directly sentence Ling Chi.Descendants who beat their elders to death can also be sentenced to Ling Chi.

The elder is dead, take the elder's wives and concubines, ask for beheading!

Brother dies, take in sister-in-law or sister-in-law, hang!

Zhao Han asked the old official, "Sir, I'm afraid it won't really be sentenced to hanging for taking in my brother-in-law and sister-in-law?"

The old official smiled and said: "The law is dead, but people are alive. If the family is poor, the elder brother dies and the widow is widowed, it is difficult to raise the children, and the younger brother has no money to marry a wife. What about the wife? Everyone is happy. If you don’t lift it, the officials will not investigate.”

This can also be heard the other way around. The younger brother accepts Qi's sister-in-law and violates the etiquette.

Looking further down, Zhao Han was a little frightened.

Those who beat up brothers, sisters or elders within four servings, and those who are seriously injured, will be hanged regardless of the reason!

"Daming Law" is really harsh.

During the day, he only read three articles in the torture room. Zhao Han held the law book and planned to take it to the county government house to continue reading.

Before leaving, Zhao Han suddenly asked, "Excuse me, sir, where is the righteous man (servant)?"

The old official was stunned for a while, and explained in detail: "The household registration is divided into positive and secondary. The righteous man who lives with the master is attached to the main household of the master's family and is regarded as the descendant of the master's family. The assistant household is regarded as the servant of the main family. In addition, the righteous man and the righteous daughter, if the adoption period is not long, are also regarded as the servants of the main family.”

Zhao Han frowned and said, "Why an employee?"

The old official explained: "This is hard to say. The hired worker is between the good and the cheap, the bad is not cheap, the good and the cheap. During the employment period, they are cheap, they are attached to the master's family, and their status is not as good as that of a family slave. If the employment contract is terminated , can be turned into a good citizen, and the descendants can also participate in the imperial examinations.”

Well, Zhao Han suddenly opened his eyes.

This hired worker is not another hired worker. It belongs to the legal term of the Ming Dynasty.

Hired workers are not regarded as their own by the master family, so they are often treated harshly, and even domestic slaves can bully them.But at least there are still thoughts, there is no need to change the surname of the ancestors, and the descendants can still participate in the imperial examinations normally!

In theory, when the employment period expires, the employee is free to leave.

However, in reality, the hired worker must be treated harshly by the owner and cannot save any money at all.Without the financial ability, of course, it is not possible to be self-reliant, and it is better to be a domestic slave honestly.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Zhao Han held the "Law of the Great Ming" and walked towards the county government house.

……

Wang Yongshi has returned to the county seat, but he has not returned to the county government very often.

This gentleman was so daring that he withheld the summer grain that had already been collected and refused to send it to the Hejian Mansion to hand it over.Instead, the money and grain were used to provide relief to the disaster victims in the county, and Shangshu asked the emperor to reduce or exempt taxes.

Taxes are not handed over, and it will be difficult to pass the performance appraisal.

Wang Yongshi is taking his own future and saving the lives of countless victims!

Not only that, he also took the power of beheading the master bookkeeper, eliminating thieves and bandits, forcing grain merchants to stabilize grain prices, and forcing big households to donate money.For a time, the gentry boiled and complained.

With money, grain, and people, Wang's servants built official warehouses and lent food and seeds to the victims.

The disaster victims who really have no land to cultivate, implement the method of "work-relief", allowing them to repair the county seat, and then dredge the canals to rebuild the abandoned Tangguantun Post Station.

In this way, he was so busy that Wang Zhixian had already forgotten about Zhao Han.

Even Fei Yinghuan saw Wang Yongshi again after half a month.

Wang Yongshi was tired and haggard, and seemed to be much older. He smiled and said, "Brother Dazhao, you are a rich and noble son, and you lived a very leisurely and comfortable life."

Fei Yinghuan sighed and said, "Oh, why is Qi Zhao brother doing this? I'm afraid you won't be able to wear this black gauze hat next year."

Wang Yongshi was a little helpless, but he could still laugh, pretending to be lighthearted: "I'm not meant to be an official, it's better to be dismissed as soon as possible and return home. The loss of one person is better than the loss of thousands of people. It is very cost-effective. The Buddhists say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I built a [-]-level pagoda this time, and maybe my descendants can enjoy some blessings.”

Fei Yinghuan was speechless, she could only straighten her clothes and bow to the servant Wang to the end.

Wang Yongshi smiled and said: "I have sent my master to go to the Hejian Mansion to deal with the prefect and the censor. I just hope that this official hat can be worn through next spring, so that the people will not be unhappy and make trouble again. A famine."

Fei Yinghuan felt a heavy heart, and said ashamedly, "Brother Qi Zhao cares about the people, I am not as good as me."

Wang Yongshi suddenly burst out laughing: "Anyway, I am the magistrate of the county, and I also got the money through the door. If I lose it, I lose it. It's nothing more than a loss of silver money. Quan should throw it to Sister Yao in the brothel."

Fei Yinghuan was finally amused, and said with a smile: "The official of the Ministry of Personnel is indeed like a kiln sister, who will not refuse anyone who gives enough money."

Wang Yongshi smiled even more happily: "In this way, the Ministry of Officials is the number one brothel in the world!"

Fei Yinghuan jokingly said, "Shangshu is the prostitute, and the waiter is Duke Gui."

"Hahahahaha!" Wang Yongshi burst into tears with laughter, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Brother Dazhao, my generation is studying hard, is it a bitch or a benefactor?"

Fei Yinghuan muttered, "Bitch."

Wang Yongshi said, "Even if I'm a bitch, I'll be Liang Hongyu."

Fei Yinghuan pouted and said, "Then I can be Su Xiaoxiao at most."

"Su Xiaoxiao is enough," Wang Yongshi said with grief and indignation. "There are many officials in the world who are not as good as bitches. It is not easy to be a famous prostitute for a generation."

The two talked for a long time, and finally sat in the tower and had a drink.

Sunset falls.

Fei Yinghuan patted his buttocks and stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Qi Zhao, Brother Yu is here to bid farewell."

"When are you leaving?" Wang Yongshi asked.

Fei Yinghuan said, "I will leave tomorrow."

Wang Yongshi said: "I wish you a smooth journey."

Fei Yinghuan said, "I plan to accept the child who offers a way to defeat the enemy. He doesn't answer, and he probably has been waiting to see you."

Wang Yongshi frowned and said, "Why take advantage of people's danger like this?"

Fei Yinghuan said: "It's true that I took advantage of the dangers of people, but my Fei clan has declined to the point of being, and the dog is a born idiot. If I die one day, the dog will not be able to keep the Fei clan's business in Goose Lake, and sooner or later will be embezzled by other sects. Exhausted. I have to leave a minister for my son's life."

"Brother Dazhao also took great pains." Wang Yongshi expressed his understanding.

Fei Yinghuan said: "This son is very smart, and he will definitely not be in the pool in the future. If he is really talented, I will help him to rise to the sky, and I will be a strong aid for the Fei family in Goose Lake. The money can also assist Inuzi to keep the family business. It is not a loss if you are horizontal, vertical, left and right."

Wang Yongshi laughed and said: "You have a good plan. Forget it, I will send someone to give him 20 taels of silver, and help Brother Dazhao cut off his distracting thoughts." As he spoke, he teased and sneered, "Cultivate this son well, Maybe he can enter the cabinet as a prime minister, and when the time comes to marry him, won't your Qianshan Fei family be happy again?"

Fei Yinghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Qi Zhao, why are you making fun of me?"

Wang Yongshi scolded: "You are a bastard, two people, and one child. You are shameless and shameless!"

Fei Yinghuan excused herself: "The calculation is calculated, and it didn't hurt the world, and even saved the lives of their brothers and sisters."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't help you," Wang Yongshi couldn't help but swear, "Although you are a bit of a bastard, you still have a little conscience. It's not like the beasts of the dynasty, whose conscience is eaten by dogs. !"

Chapter 014 [Sword Sword Boy]

There was a packet in front of him, and when he opened it, there were four small silver ingots, totaling 20 taels of silver.

"Ugh!"

Zhao Han sighed and reached out to play with the silver ingot.

In his two lifetimes, it was the first time that he had seen the real silver ingot with his own eyes.

It is not as regular and delicate as in the TV series. The four silver ingots in front of me are rough enough, and there are large and small dense pores on the surface.

Zhao Zhenfang was able to walk down the ground and came to her brother: "Second brother, are these silver? A lot of money."

"Yeah, a lot of money." Zhao Han said.

Zhao Zhenfang wondered: "With the money, why is the second brother not happy?"

Zhao Han laughed at himself: "I expect too much."

Since Wang Zhixian sent the money, and it was neatly packaged and courteous, but he didn't call Zhao Han to meet him, obviously he didn't want to have anything more to do with it.

It must be Fei Yinghuan's trouble to alienate a child who has the ability to offer advice so painstakingly!

Isn't this Fei Yinghuan expressing his sincerity?

I tried my best, just to recruit a servant, not to recruit back to beat, scold and abuse.

At least at Fei's house, Zhao Han and his sister won't have a hard time.

Holding the silver ingot in the palm of Zhao Han's hand, Zhao Han weighed it, 20 taels of silver, not too much, not too much, and he could barely get along.

But what the brothers and sisters really need is a stable growth environment, not a precarious life.

That's it.

……

It is September, the sequence belongs to the third autumn, and the weather is getting cooler.

Zhao Han pushed open the door, wearing moonlight, and went to the next door to find Fei Yinghuan to talk to.

"Little brother, please come in." It was Wei Jianxiong who opened the door, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Fei Yinghuan was reading a book by lighting the lamp, and when she heard the movement outside, she asked with a smile, "Have the two of your brothers and sisters discussed it?"
