Chapter Eighty-Five: Family Property

Zhu Jianjun didn't understand it very well, but Yu Mian could see at a glance that this child must be the favorite junior of Old Man Yun, and it seemed that he was asked to serve tea and pour water, but in fact, he had the right to listen.

This is also one of the types of education that teaches by example.

Not everyone has the qualifications to do so.

Zhu Jianjun said: "The matter of Qingzhang, thanks to the help of the Yun family, can be completed so quickly, so the official came over to thank Old Man Yun." ”

Old Man Yun hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." In the old man's opinion, such a thing should have been done a long time ago, otherwise the villagers would suffer a lot, and since the court intends to re-measure, how can the old man not help? ”

Zhu Jianjun said: "Oh? But why? ”

Old Man Yun said: "Childe seems to be the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi. ”

Zhu Jianjun smiled lightly in his heart, and said secretly: "Where is my house just Zhong Ming Ding Food?" But he also smiled silently.

Old Man Yun continued: "The Yellow Book has been Chen Chen for many years, and the people on the Yellow Book are all characters for decades, if someone in their family has passed it down, it will be easy to do, it is nothing more than a father and son inheritance. ”

"But some people have already lost their households, but it is not easy for the government to collect grain."

"Even if some people breed, it's not good to show this matter to them, and my family can only pay for it themselves."

Speaking of which, Old Man Yun also sighed.

The chief of the grain is responsible for the compensation.

At this point, there seems to be a legacy of the Yuan Dynasty's tax package system.

Generally speaking, 10,000 stone of grain has a grain chief, but it is not absolute. Therefore, if the grain chief cannot collect the grain, the grain chief must pay out of his own pocket to make up the difference.

Listening to what Old Man Yun said, it seems that he did not lose any money.

Zhu Jianjun looked at Old Man Yun and asked: "This official has read the grain book, if according to the number after the new Qingzhang, the two branches of the Yun family have a total of more than 1,000 acres of land, which is a lot of numbers, isn't Old Man Yun distressed?" ”

Old Man Yun said: "What is there to feel sorry for, it is natural to farm and pay taxes." Even if you can evade some taxes, how much can you escape, for a little bit of small profit, and damage the reputation of the ancestors of the Yun family, old decay is the extreme of unfilial piety. ”

Zhu Jianjun said: "On the way I came, I saw that there were many bridges and canals built by the Yun family? The Yun family can be called rich. ”

The old man of the Yun family raised his eyes slightly, and took a closer look at Zhu Jianjun with cloudy eyes, and then he was relieved. He thought that Zhu Jianjun was asking for bribes, but looking at Zhu Jianjun's clothes and entourage, his eyes were clear and not evil. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

The Yun family is also considered some money in Changzhou, but in the eyes of such a noble son in the capital, it is not worth mentioning.

Childe laughed. The old man of the Yun family said: "My Yun family is also a scholarly family, a family of poetry and books, I dare not say that the family is not rich, but the ancestors have training, and they have never accumulated wealth." ”

"Each house can trust the old man, let the old man preside over the public middle school, naturally to use the money to the right place, except for some money to buy land for the clan, the rest of the people do these things, so as to accumulate virtue for my family."

Zhu Jianjun asked again: "How much is the Yun family's family property?" ”

The old man of the Yun family was a little unhappy, this is to get to the bottom of it, but there is no way, the old man of the Yun family said: "There are three hectares of land, which were added by the ancestors of the past dynasties. ”

Three hectares of land is not much, but only three hundred acres.

Immediately, Zhu Jianjun asked the Yun family about their family property.

Generally speaking, the people of the Yun family are obliged to donate property to the Yun family, but it does not mean that the finances of each house of the Yun family belong to the Yun family.

It can even be understood that the property of the Yun family is the temple property of the temple, but the people who worship these people are the ancestors of the Yun family, and the people who donate are just the children of the Yun family.

Generally speaking, ordinary Yun family members take out a little money every year to count it as the sesame oil money of the ancestral hall, but this is not mandatory, if it really doesn't work, it will not be mandatory. Even the ancestral hall will give some subsidies to people with special difficulties. If some clansmen encounter things and become heirs, they will also be succeeded by their ancestors.

If the sons of both parents are raised, they will also be raised by the ancestral hall.

And so on, weddings and funerals are all related to ancestral halls.

Even now, in some places in the south, some customs are maintained, such as the new daughter-in-law to worship the ancestral hall and add her name.

In ancient times, the security of the people was not very good, and the villages often fought for various resources, such as water sources.

Therefore, the ancients, even a poor person, were particularly concerned about the ancestral hall of the family. When there are some ways, they must set up an ancestral hall, just to unite people's hearts and compete with others.

Generally, people who mix out outside will also spend a lot of money on the ancestral hall. Especially those who have merit.

Some people even say that some of the reasons for corruption in ancient China are related to this system. Without him, once someone becomes an official, the clansmen feel that this person must be rich and must repay it.

After all, many times, a scholar is not cultivated by his own small family, but the clan has made great efforts.

It's like a private school next to the ancestral hall.

This private school is to use the property of the Yun family to let anyone in the Yun family, regardless of whether the family is rich or not, but anyone who has the potential to study come here to study.

If it weren't for the private school in the clan, many people would not be able to afford to read.

Therefore, even if many people become big officials, it is difficult to resist human feelings.

Not everyone seems to be Yang Pu, an iron mask never favoritism, but even like Yang Pu, another reason why he lives a tight life in the capital is to save his money and send it to the family.

You must know that Yang Pu's income is more than 1,000 stones per year, which is not less. Converted into the stone of the Han Dynasty, it is ten thousand stones.

Even if the house is raided, the family property will not be raided, which is why in the dream of the Red Mansion, Wang Xifeng dreamed of Qin Keqing, and Qin Keqing explained that Wang Xifeng wanted to buy more family property.

Because of the family property purchased in this way, even if the Jia family is defeated, the descendants of the Jia family can also get some supplies of the family property.

There's a reason, at least now, that family system is embraced by so many people.

After Zhu Jianjun asked, he could be regarded as understanding what the bottom of the Ming Dynasty was like, but he was a little unhappy when he saw Old Man Yun.

This kind of questioning is really unfriendly.

Zhu Jianjun laughed, appeased the old man Yun, and left a black treasure for the Yun family: "Qing Bai family." And will use the prince's private seal.

Old Man Yun took it with both hands, naturally he didn't know what was precious. But Zhu Qizhen's characters can't be practiced well. At most, to the point of being able to see people.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen has strict requirements for Zhu Jianjun's penmanship, Zhu Jianjun has been in various famous posts since he was a child, although he is young, but his pen has a bit of style.

The Yun family is also regarded as a poetry and book heirloom, so this can also be seen. How can the person who wrote the inscription not say, but this word is a good word.

Zhu Jianjun wanted to leave, but it was late, so he stayed in the Yun family for the night, and the Yun family naturally took care of it.

Night.

Zhu Jianjun, Yu Mian and Zhang Mao had a secret discussion and asked the guards to stay outside.

Zhu Jianjun asked the two of them, "Is there a problem in this yellow book?" ”

Yu Mian glanced at Zhang Mao, he knew what Zhang Mao had done when he disappeared today, which was to check the yellow book. He said to Zhu Jianjun: "Naturally, there is a problem. But in my opinion, I can't check it anymore, at least the Yun family has done a good job. There is nothing hidden in their own home. ”

"If you really want to talk about it, there is no problem in the whole Changzhou, no, the entire Qingzhang land in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Your Highness also knows that the number of land in Wujin County is the same as the number of Qingzhang in the Hongwu period, a little more, even if the land south of the Yangtze River is narrow, it will not reach this point."

As a native of Hangzhou, Yu Mian couldn't be clearer about the situation in this area.

Yes, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, large-scale reclamation of wasteland was carried out, and the number of 200,000 mu increased at one time. In many parts of the south, land reclamation has almost reached the limit, and it is not easy to increase it.

But by no means will not increase an inch of land.

From Hongwu to orthodoxy for nearly fifty years, there has been almost no increase, which is a little too fake, you must know that the northern provinces, even if there is moisture, but the moisture will not reach this point.
