Chapter 12

After helping the woman, Zhou Ming was successfully fired from the construction site and returned to the rental house happily.

Of course, the foreman still gave him the salary, not because he felt pity for him, but because Zhou Ming could do as much work as one and a half bricklayers these days, and he could carry it for more than ten days in a row. It's so amazing. The contractor has never seen a few of them in so many years. How dare he deduct his wages?

In fact, it’s not that Zhou Ming has strong physical strength. He really couldn’t bear it anymore in the next few days. Fortunately, he found some tricks by playing “Zhang Ergou’s Counterattack Life” in injection mode. He relied on beating sap, opening a harem, and raping. Using unscrupulous means such as plundering and looting, he got a 3S rating for three consecutive games and earned more than 8,000 achievement points.

These achievement points were all exchanged by him into [Strength Point Cards], which added 8 points of strength attributes to his body, making it much easier to move bricks on the construction site.

Returning to the rental house, he spent a day cleaning the inside and outside of the room, and then went to a nearby supermarket to purchase a large amount of instant noodles, biscuits, bread, ham sausages and other convenience foods to take home. The amount was enough for him to eat for a month or two. as long as.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, a relaxed Zhou Ming lay comfortably on the bed, closed his eyes, and opened the game panel in his mind.

"System, enter the game."

"Drip~"

"Players start to enter the game..."

Game background introduction:

This is an absurd, ignorant and conservative era. The lords are selfish, the knights are addicted to force, the farmers are hungry, the priests spread hypocrisy, and the slaves live on... In this era of frequent wars, epidemics, and thieves. In this world, as the son of an ordinary farmer in Glenland Rose Town, how should you intervene in this dispute between lords...

"Wow~wow~"

A clear and loud cry spread throughout Rose Town from a dilapidated and crooked earthen house.

"@#¥ # ......¥%" A woman with dark yellow hair and white skin said weakly.

"@#¥#@!¥@#!" A white man with curly hair excitedly held the baby in his hands and babbled, obviously very excited.

"What are these two talking about?"

Zhou Ming was stunned in his infant state, but when he saw the happy faces of these two men and women with typical Caucasian features, he knew that these two must be his parents.

"If you don't understand, learn slowly. Anyway, I'm just a baby now."

After eating the breast milk fed to him by the white woman, Zhou Ming felt a little dizzy and fell into a sweet sleep.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Sitting on a round wooden stake in front of the fence, Zhou Ming swung his calf, looking at the environment of this world.

Fields with green wheat seedlings, quiet and peaceful towns, streams with clear water, castles towering on hills...

"It's really a paradise-like world."

Yes.

If there weren't the lords and knights stationed in that castle, the hateful-looking tax collectors and lords' housekeepers, and the thieves all over the mountains and fields who came to harass the town from time to time...then this place would be a paradise.

Zhou Ming's name in this world is "Lian", his father's name is Derek, his mother's name is Julina, and he has a one-year-old little sister named "Alice".

A fairly happy family of four.

But this kind of happiness is also based on the fact that the weather has been good and the weather has been good in the past few years, and the family has barely maintained food and clothing.

His father, Derek, who was a farmer, rented and planted a hundred acres of land from the lord, Baron Connor.

One-third of this hundred acres of land will be used as fallow, and the other two-thirds will be used to grow crops such as barley, oats, wheat, and rye, as well as a small amount of peas and pasture.

The yield of crops in this world is generally very low. In a better year, the return rate of seeds is about 4 times, that is, one pound of seeds can be planted and four to five pounds of food can be harvested.

This kind of harvest looks pretty good, but half of it is the land rent to be handed over to the lord.

In addition to the lord's land rent, the church also collected tithes. Although it was not much, the only thing left in the end was to ensure that the farmers would not starve to death.

In addition, his father, Derek, was also obliged to do weekly work for the lord. Three days a week, he had to do handyman work for the lord, plowing, transporting, sowing, and threshing until it was put into the warehouse. Only then could he drag his tired body back to Work on your own land.

After completing his labor service, his father Derek also had to perform military service for the lord. Whenever Baron Connor had to fight with Baron Howard or Baron Garcia around Glenland, his father Derek was obliged to be drafted into the army and stand at the front of the queue. , serving as cannon fodder for the knights in the rear.

In the past two years, his father Derek has been drafted into the army twice, once to fight against Baron Garcia in the west. After winning by chance, he was rewarded with a small bag of black flour (flour ground from rye, after being made into black bread, the hardness is Comparable to bricks)

The second time I fought a group of thieves, I wasn't so lucky. Someone shot an arrow in my right hand. Although it didn't penetrate deeply, it affected my normal work for three months, and I still can't get rid of it well.

Forget it if it’s just high land rent, heavy labor, and dangerous military service. Farmers like my father, Derek, are also subject to all kinds of strange and diverse taxes, even down to the tax of one chicken, one egg, and one firewood. .

You can't catch fish in the river, you can't hunt wild animals on the mountain, you can't catch rabbits in the field, even if the lord's pigeons are ruining the crops in your field, you can't touch them... because all these belong to the lord.

Even the father Derek himself cannot leave this town at will and marry off his daughter at will...

In short, for his father Derek, apart from honestly farming, paying taxes, and performing military service, everything else is not allowed or allowed, unless the benevolent lord lord shows mercy.

Zhou Ming was extremely surprised that this kind of feudal serfdom system, which oppressed farmers to the extreme, was even more miserable than slaves who were regarded as private property, could exist in this world.

Aren't those lords afraid that these farmers will join forces and swarm them to pieces on a desperate and angry day?

but……

Look at that tall and solid castle, look at the knight covered in bright armor, and look at my father Derek's weak and malnourished body...

Even a thousand farmers with this kind of physical condition wouldn't be able to attack that tall castle guarded by only ten knights, right?

Zhou Ming frowned.

It's difficult, it's really difficult, this picture simply doesn't give the people at the bottom a chance to survive. Compared with these lords, Li Shouzheng in "Zhang Ergou" is as kind as a Bodhisattva, Zhang Ergou's The living situation is really much better than mine.
