Chapter 424, the popular military household(2/2)
Wang Gengen thought for a while and said.
"Okay~Okay~"
When Matchmaker Tang heard this, she immediately agreed.
…
Longtou Village immediately became extremely lively when the military households brought it back from the expedition, becoming the focus of the entire ten miles and eight villages.
Everyone talked about their affairs every day. Some people kept bragging about how brave they were on the battlefield, killing several Tatars, and some even showed off the trophies they captured from the battlefield.
But these are not what everyone is most concerned about, what matters most is money.
The dilapidated military households in Longtou Village were turned around.
Almost every household has turned over.
Those who killed Tatars on the battlefield were rewarded, and those who died were also rewarded. In short, almost every household brought back hundreds of taels of silver, and those who came back without any silver became the object of everyone's jokes.
The dilapidated military households were turned around, and these dilapidated military households suddenly became fragrant steamed buns.
In less than half a month after Wang Daniu and others returned to Longtou Village, people started getting married in Longtou Village, and girls from other villages married in.
Then one after another, almost every household began to hold happy events. The festive firecrackers sounded almost every day, and there were no banquets in the village almost every day.
Today is the Li family's wedding, tomorrow it's the Zhang family's wedding, and the day after tomorrow it's the Wang family's wedding, one after another, without stopping. After the eldest is married, the second is married.
Almost the entire Longtou Village is filled with a sea of red celebrations. Sometimes, there are several weddings a day, so much so that there are jokes about going to the wrong place.
Girls from other villages were carried into Longtou Village in eight-carat sedans. This was a very rare thing in the past.
The villagers in Longtou Village are all military households. These military households are very poor and very shabby. No one is willing to marry their daughter to them. Even if they want to change marriages, very few people are willing to do so.
There is no way. Although everyone is poor, at least everyone's status is relatively good. If they are military households, their descendants will all be military households. There is no way to pass the imperial examination. No matter how good Feng Shui is, there will be no capable people.
What's more, they have to be squeezed and exploited by hundreds or thousands of households above. Every year, hundreds or thousands of households are given free land, work, etc. In short, the dilapidated military households are the poorest existence, compared with other ordinary people.
It will be even more painful.
But now, these dilapidated military households have money, and they are not ordinary rich. They are rewarded with one hundred taels of silver for killing a Tatar, which is definitely a huge sum of money.
After getting married, although I was still a military household, my life was different these days.
Longtou Village has become very lively, with people getting married in every household. At the same time, people are starting to build houses one after another in Longtou Village.
The houses built one after another occupy a large area, with three courtyards, and cement is used. The front door and the courtyard are paved with cement, which is very clean. The inside of the room is paved with cement. This is
Houses where people live.
After the wedding wave, there will be a house building wave. In the entire Longtou Village, almost every household is building a house. Some people even plan and build it together. It is very neat. The entire Longtou Village is like a busy construction site. People come here every day to work on the construction.
house.
In addition to getting married and building houses, these dilapidated military households in Longtou Village also began to buy fields. Because there were so many people buying fields, the prices of fields in the entire countryside began to rise.
Originally, the land needed was less than 3 taels of silver per acre, but now it has increased to more than 3 taels of silver per acre because of the land purchased by military households in Longtou Village.
Even so, as long as someone sells their land, people from Longtou Village will immediately buy it. The local tycoons are very rich, and the people in the whole village have a lot of money, making it a well-known wealthy village throughout the country.
At the same time, in the county, the prices of shops and houses in the county have also increased. There are many military households like Longtou Village around the county. These military households have money, and some people also come to the county to buy houses, shops, and work.
Do business or something, or simply move to the city.
