Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Everyone has seen the difference between the stone house and the adobe house, and no one in the Shen family wants to move out!

"Mother, why don't we let my eldest brother talk to Lan Xi." Shen Conglian muttered softly.

"What? Let her bury eldest brother in the ground again." Shen Congli curled his lips. He kept thinking that his niece was cruel, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Mother, let my eldest brother go and talk to him!" Shen Congyi not only didn't want to leave, he also wanted to get another stone house. How could so many people live in one yard?

Shen Congwen lowered his head and said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"If big brother doesn't want to go, you can let Yuan Jing discuss it with Lan Xi!" Yuan Jing went to Lan Xi's house for dinner from time to time, and he must have treated her, his older brother, differently.

Old Madam Shen looked at her depressed and discouraged children and grandchildren and couldn't help but sigh again.

None of them is capable of anything. She is already so old, yet she still has to be pushed out to plan a future for her children and grandchildren!

"I still have some silver here, all of which was earned by Yuan Jing!" Old Lady Shen took out a bag of silver.

One ingot after another was placed on the table, a total of eighty taels!

"The eight-liang and fifteen-liang yards we saw before are both very good. Go buy them. Second, third, and fourth brother, you guys draw lots and move in!"

The three brothers Shen Conglian looked unhappy.

"Mother, it turns out that you have been living with us brothers. We have not separated. A family should live together and help each other!" Shen Congyi was the first to object.

Madam Shen said calmly, "We should have been supported by the eldest wife. If you want to split up the family, all the money is here, then split up the family!"

When Shen Conglian and the other two heard what the old lady said, their faces suddenly changed.

Even a fool can see that the eldest family is making profits now. If they don't split up the family, they can still find an excuse to share some of the profits. But after the split up, they will get nothing.

Besides, what can you do with this little money? If you divide it into several parts, you won't be able to celebrate the New Year!

"We agreed before that we will not divide the family as long as our parents are alive!" Shen Congli said sullenly.

Shen Conglian stood up and took the silver: "There are so many exiles behind us, and I don't know if they will be assigned here. If we buy the house now, maybe the price can be cheaper!"

These words gave reassurance to those who were originally wavering.

But when they thought about not being able to live in such a nice stone house and having to live in a thatched house, they felt very uncomfortable!

Coming out of the stone house, Liu immediately curled her lips and said, "Mother, can't you put aside your pride and go find Lan Xi?"

Shen Conglian said angrily: "She even dared to bury my eldest brother, what else is there that she dare not do? If she is really mad enough, and she abandons us and doesn't care about us, let's see if you will still complain about these things!"

"Lan Xi used to be a very gentle and filial person. How did she become like this?"

"Speak softly, and think about those people on the road to exile before you speak." Shen Conglian warned.

Liu curled her lips and said nothing.

"Let Yuan Kun, Yuan Xu and the others spend more time with Yuan Jing. I think Lan Xi is very good to the children except for being a little cruel to my eldest brother and his concubines!" Shen Conglian thought of the cakes and pastries that the children brought back after every martial arts practice, as well as the things they brought back, and couldn't help but remind Liu a few more times.

"Have you hidden the money and things that Yuan Kun and Yuan Xu brought back?"

Liu quickly looked around: "Smaller ones."

Seeing Liu's look, Shen Conglian felt confident again.

"It's not that we can't afford a stone house. Now that the old lady is willing to pay, we should spend the money. I don't think there's anything wrong with a thatched house. Don't people live here? We'd better choose one with a good yard. Then we can hide in the house to eat and drink without anyone seeing us!" Shen Conglian became happier and happier as he thought about it.

Liu also thought so. It was good to have a house to live in without having to spend any money!

When buying a house, the three brothers discussed it again and decided to buy one near the stone house, so that they would be closer to their family and could take care of them if anything happened!

After a busy afternoon, everyone fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, we continued shopping!

Liu Yanhui took the opportunity to go to the county town with Zhang Liao to purchase goods.

Wei Dongzhu's injuries were critical and he couldn't be exposed to the wind, so his men went out to buy charcoal for him.

The women of Liuzhao Village and the students of Qinglan Academy sent half of their people to go out shopping.

Some people stayed at home to repair and reinforce the roof, clean the house, and exchange things with the people in the military camp.

Exchanging things is secondary, the main purpose is to find out information.

Shen Lanxi took Chunxue and Qiu Shuang for a walk nearby.

Hongliutun has been particularly lively these two days because of their arrival.

The women gathered in groups of three or four and talked about them all the time.

"They don't look like exiled prisoners!"

"It doesn't look like it to me!"

"When Wang Er and his family came here before, they were no longer in human form!"

"They look like officials to me! Maybe they offended someone and were demoted here."

"How did you tell?"

Knock knock knock on the door

"Who?"

Liu Taoye Lanhua smiled and said, "I heard that you have the most chickens and ducks at home. Can I exchange some of the food for them?"

The women who were talking in the room looked at each other.

Exchange for food? How? You can’t give less!

"Come in, come in, it's very cold outside, come in and talk!"

The women of Hongliutun warmly invited the two in and did not leave until it was time to cook lunch.

At noon, Zhang Liao brought people to buy food back, and the people in Hongliutun shouted with joy.

On the way, Liu Yanhui had already asked.

"Brother Zhang, there is a lot of land in Dongchuan, so there shouldn't be a shortage of food. Why are you still buying food?"

Zhang Liao replied helplessly: "All the hard work of the year has been paid for. What's left is not enough to eat for two months. If we didn't go hunting in the mountains to supplement the family, we wouldn't survive the winter!"

This is the helplessness of the garrisoned troops. Most of the grain they grow must be handed over, and at the command of the emperor, they must go into battle to kill the enemy!

……

"If you want to eat your fill, keep your mouth shut and don't let anyone know!" Zhang Liao kept reminding them while distributing food.

Liu Yanhui went to report with the good tea she had bought.

"There was a centurion above Zhang Liao named Cao Lianwang, who was ruthless and didn't care about the lives of the soldiers. According to regulations, each military household had to pay 600 kilograms of grain. He collected an extra 200 kilograms, and the soldiers had no choice but to reclaim more land. When Cao Lianwang heard about this, he directly confiscated all the grain grown from the reclaimed land."

Therefore, these garrison troops had to buy food secretly, divide it secretly, and eat it secretly!

But Shen Lanxi heard something different!

"How did Cao Lianwang hear about the land reclamation?"

Liu Yanhui's eyes lit up and she suddenly said a few words to Shen Lanxi.

"Go ahead, once it's done we can do things more conveniently in the military settlement in the future!"
