Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 331 Su He always knew to save his life

Since Su He came here, he has always felt that he must have three burrows and not keep his money in one place in order to survive.

When she has money in the future, she will register for several more places of residence, so that the whole family can escape and live in anonymity. The lack of information in ancient times also has its advantages. As long as you run fast enough and hide deep enough, you can live again.

Of course, she would not commit the kind of crime that would cause a nationwide wanted notice. In modern times, she is an honest citizen, and here she would be a poor citizen who secretly makes a lot of money.

As for her brothers, it would be great if they could each make a breakthrough, becoming an official, doing business, or farming. As long as she earns more money to support them, I believe the family can live well and safely here.

She never thought that one day she would feel that being alive was the most important thing. So only in the war-torn era did she know that some ordinary people had very low wishes, which was to live well.

As long as they could survive, they could eat wild vegetables and coarse grains and wear rags. Their family was like that before, they could barely survive with one meal a day, digging for food in the soil every day, and had to hand over the grain they grew to the government, while they themselves barely survived by eating bran and vegetables.

Even here, many of the common people in the outer city and Wengcheng are still wearing patched clothes and eating coarse grains for one meal a day. Aren't they trying hard to survive?

Humans are really tenacious creatures. No matter how bad the environment is, they have to live like weeds. They not only have to resist various natural disasters, but also prevent harm from bad people. It is especially difficult for people to live in this world. They pay for the mistakes of others and pay the price of their lives for the change of dynasties.

The people were also suffocated by various taxes and corvée labor. They struggled in numbness and could not be free no matter where they went. The government's ropes bound the people and enslaved and oppressed them.

They just opened a shop, and they had to pay a fixed amount of tax every month. After they opened, the local security guards had already informed them how to go to the government to pay the tax. The tax was collected according to the area of ​​business, and their teahouse had to pay at least ten taels of silver every month.

For them, this amount of money was still affordable. But it was 120 taels a year, which they could never earn in their lifetime in the past.

When her mother heard that she had to pay ten taels of silver a month, she complained that it was too much. She was distressed and didn't want to give it up, but later she saw that the teahouse business was booming and the daily income was not bad, so she slowly put her mind at ease.

She realized that business is also dangerous. She had to earn money to buy a house and pay taxes every month. This is why many shops fail. They have to earn money to survive.

Su He and his sister also received a letter from Ye Jingchen, which was of course handed to them by their master. After dinner, the brothers and sisters gathered together to read the questions in his letter, and Su Run was especially excited.

Su He had a vague feeling that his second brother was going to join the army. Sooner or later, someone in his family would have to serve in the military, and it was probably his second brother who would go. His second brother was more interested in fighting than his other brothers, and of course, one of Su Pei and Su Che could not escape the shackles of military service.

Their registered residence is still in Shili Village. When the time comes, no matter where they are, if the government recruits soldiers, all adult males in the family must go.

Now we just hope that the border will be stable. Even if we recruit soldiers, they will be responsible for guarding the border and will not have to fight the enemy. Once the two countries go to war, how many people will be able to return home alive, and how many will be able to leave the battlefield intact.

Su He is sometimes really tired. Not only does he have to work hard to make money every day, but he also has to think about how to make a living and not be overwhelmed by the things here.

They discussed the issue together, and then Su Run wrote back, writing down their opinions. Since the Ye family children had lived there for a while, the relationship between the two families had become much closer.

Su He's brothers often copied good books and gave them to their family. After they became rich, they did not give up this habit. The brothers often went to the library in Fenggu City to buy and copy books. They all thought that this way they could practice calligraphy and copy books at the same time, which was the best of both worlds.

By then, several families will have books, and they will have books to read wherever they go. Su He certainly didn't object. Buying books in this era was too expensive. He could copy a few more copies himself and sell them for money when they were useful.
