Rise From the Humble

"Listen to what your brother has to say."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Mr. Zhu stood up at this time. Mr. Zhu still considered the entire Zhu family in his heart, at least that's what he thought. Zhu Ping'an is his proud grandson, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Zhu Ping'an, but things have already happened, and now the most important thing is to consider the whole family.

Except for Zhu Ping'an, the only one who can honor Zhu's family can only rely on the boss.

In addition, after listening to what the boss said when he first arrived, Mr. Zhu still agreed with his proposal. After all, he is a scholar, well-informed, not panicked when encountering problems, and has a quick mind.

This is the Ming Dynasty, the peak of the feudal dynasty, the era when the feudal ritual system and the patriarchal patriarchal system dominated. Mr. Zhu is the head of the Zhu family. Although Zhu Ping'an's family has been separated, the identity of the Zhu family cannot be erased.

Mr. Zhu spoke, and although his mother, Ms. Chen, was gritting her teeth angrily towards her uncle Zhu Shouren, she could only worry about Mr. Zhu and resisted the urge to have an attack.

Seeing that Mr. Zhu was in control of the situation, his uncle Zhu Shouren picked up the teacup with one hand and pulled up his sleeve with the other. He took a sip of tea in a very polite and elegant manner, then put down the teacup, pretending to be thinking about the future of the Zhu family, and cleared his mind. He spoke with a serious voice:

"Second brother, younger brothers and sisters, I can understand how you feel. Hu'er is the Qilin son of our Zhu family, and I don't want anything to happen to him. However, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. When things happen, When it happens, we have to think about the future, and I think a smart pig will do the same."

The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune? !

When she heard these words, Chen's eyes almost burst into sparks as she glared at her uncle Zhu Shouren, and her anger almost ignited the surrounding air.

"I wonder if my second brother has ever calculated how much taxes are paid on your family's property every year?" Uncle Zhu Shouren turned a blind eye to Chen's gaze and looked at Zhu's father calmly and asked.

"My family doesn't have to pay taxes." Father Zhu shook his head slightly.

"Yes, you don't have to pay taxes now, but what about in the future?" Uncle Zhu Shouren stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back, and said after a while, "You don't have to pay taxes because of Xie'er's fame, but if Xie'er is no longer here, you will have to pay taxes." You need to pay taxes and bear corvee labor.”

Xie'er isn't here? !

This sentence stimulated Mrs. Chen again, and she gritted her teeth. She glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren coldly, and said coldly, "Brother, don't worry, I have a sixth-grade peace certificate."

The uncle shook his head when he heard this, sighed and said, "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, my sister-in-law, your sixth-grade Anren imperial decree only provides you with ceremonial treatment, such as not kneeling before officials, etc. However, it does not have real power, nor is it exempt from taxes and corvee. Just say it."

"So what." Chen said in a very impatient tone.

"Not counting the tens of thousands of acres of land that the Li family received as dowry today, even if your family owns the land, if you pay taxes, it will cost you at least a hundred taels of silver a year. This is not a small sum." Zhu Shouren said in an exaggerated tone.

Although his uncle Zhu Shouren did not know the specific amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family, he also knew the general amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family. After Zhu Ping'an passed the examination to become a scholar, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased land once. After Zhu Ping'an passed the imperial examination, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased land once. The land was purchased once, this time in a large amount, and many people donated land. The total amount was not a small amount. In addition, after Zhu Ping'an won the first prize, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased even more land. Even if only these lands are counted, the tax would cost hundreds of taels of silver.

It is obvious that the more land, the more taxes. Father Zhu glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren, but didn't say anything.

"This is just your inherent land. If you add in the 10,000 acres of land that the Li family received as dowry today, the tax will have to be doubled several times." After the uncle Zhu Shouren said it again, he sighed with his mouth wide open.

Dowry property? It was the dowry of the second daughter-in-law Li Shu, and it was Li Shu's private house! It was Li Shu's body, and it belonged only to Li Shu's personal property.

"What's your opinion, big brother?" Mrs. Chen glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren and asked sarcastically.

"It's not a high opinion, but it is a method. At first, the property did not need to pay taxes because of Xie'er's reputation. Now if we find another person with a reputation and transfer the property and land to his name, wouldn't it be possible to still be exempted from taxes? It's gone." Uncle Zhu Shouren's eyes were shining brightly, and he suggested provocatively in his tone.

"Where can I find such a person?" Chen asked knowingly, with contempt in her tone.

"After all, you have so much land. If you look for an outsider, you won't be at ease. It's better to look for an acquaintance. The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in the battle, a family does not speak the language of the two families, and cannot write two Zhu characters in one stroke. There is no comparison. It's more reassuring for the family. It's better to transfer your land to my name. In this way, I will be exempted from taxes and corvee, and your land will not need to pay taxes. The land is still your land, but it is in my name. I don't If you move a little bit, you can save hundreds of taels of silver every year, and it’s not good to do anything.”

Hearing this, the sarcasm in Chen's eyes became stronger, the fox's tail was exposed, talking and going around, it turned out that it was the idea of ​​the family's land property.

I really look down on you, how old you are, if you don't study hard and review your lessons, you think about these crooked ideas all day long, and never think about working hard with your own hands, and all the food you eat for decades has been eaten by dogs. He was already a Tongsheng when Xue'er started school. He was still a Tongsheng when Xue'er was admitted to Tongsheng. Xue'er was admitted to be a scholar and a scholar, and now he is the number one scholar. His uncle was still a Tongsheng. If he doesn't work hard like this, I don't think he will be admitted as a scholar if he is given decades.

"Oh, the land will be transferred to you and you will be exempted from taxes. Well, why not transfer the land that I got as a dowry today to you as well. Oh, let me think about it, by the way, there are also shops in the town. Well, today Many shops that came over as a dowry should also be transferred to yours." Chen said lightly.

What?

Even the dowry is transferred?

Are there any stores that will be transferred as well?

Happiness came so suddenly that uncle Zhu Shouren didn't believe what he heard. He thought that Mrs. Chen was the most difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen agreed after saying it once. As expected, Mrs. Chen was so excited that she had long hair and short knowledge. The uncle was short of breath, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

The eldest aunt and Zhu Pinganjun's daughter-in-law at the side all smiled.

"Second brother and sister, are you kidding me?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked in disbelief.

"You were the one who joked first." Chen sneered, very contemptuous.

"You" uncle.

"If I remember correctly, my eldest brother is not a scholar now, right? You still have to pay the taxes. Let's wait until the uncle becomes a scholar." Mrs. Chen glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren and mocked with disdain.

"In my opinion, I am definitely a scholar this time. Mr. Liu and the others have made promises to me. In addition, I have also been recommended to the stewards of the academic and political houses, and they have left their names. As usual, all the names are posted. Yes, it's all settled." Uncle Zhu Shouren said excitedly, with the confidence of a middle-ranked scholar.

It's the same old way, what is the stability, what is the relationship, how hard is it to find, this kind of words have been said by his uncle since the first time he started the scholar examination, and he has said it no less than ten times. Every time I swear it, and every time I fail, only the old man and the old lady believe it.

Looking for a relationship, going through the back door, is all crooked, never thinking about relying on yourself.

Chen rolled his eyes disdainfully.

"Let's wait until the elder brother has passed the examination of the scholar." Zhu's father glanced at his elder brother and said in a deep voice.

"You still don't know what He'er committed in the capital? He's confused." Uncle Zhu Shouren would not give up until he achieved his goal. He threw out another plan when he failed. He said with a heavy face, and then he impeached Zhu Ping'an with a memorial. The story of Sha Liang taking credit for offending Yan Song was repeated again, exaggerating the danger.

"What She'er did must be right, I believe in She'er." Mrs. Chen was unmoved.

"Why? Xie'er was deceived by others, General." Uncle Zhu Shouren told the old man Zhu again.

"I don't believe in pigs, how can I trust outsiders?" Mrs. Chen choked her uncle Zhu Shouren, which was completely different from Mr. Zhu's original reaction.

"We are a family with Hugh'er, and we naturally share joys and sorrows. As Hugh'er's parents, we are not capable, but we are not afraid of trouble. If someone comes to cause trouble for this, we will seek justice for Hugh'er. " Father Zhu also replied in a deep voice.

Uncle Zhu Shouren.

"That tax is not a small number." Mr. Zhu reminded.

"Dad, firstly, my eldest brother has not yet been selected as a scholar, and secondly, the produce from the land is always more than the taxes. If we have something to eat from now on, you two will not be hungry." Chen explained calmly.
