Chapter 131: Selling Yourself
"The land is yours? So what's the difference between you and asking for our lives? Cui Chengyuan directly glared at Chen Mo, he felt that Chen Mo didn't mean to let them go at all, what was the difference between this and killing them with his own hands?
This is an agrarian society, basically most of the income of the family comes from the land, and there are so many people in the family who need to be supported, if all the fields are given to Chen Mo, then basically the people of the family will wait for death. Pineappleβ β
Landless families are no different, if not worse, from ordinary people.
"Then can you not agree, and if you don't have land, you will die? I don't think so, I will definitely let you go, I will take the land, but I still let you manage it, I want my own ownership, and I have a better livelihood for you, it depends on whether you can grasp it yourself. β
After Chen Mo finished speaking, Cui Chengyuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Cui family master beside him.
"Young people are not sensible, Mr. Chen wants it, then he must give it, I said before, as long as my Cui family can do it, I will definitely agree, and Mr. Chen is a trustworthy person, and if I let my Cui family go, I will not let my Cui family be cornered,"
Cui Chengyuan was anxious: "But Dad, wouldn't we become his tenant farmers in this way?" β
As big landlords, they naturally know what the status of tenant farmers is, to put it bluntly, they have to farm for them and pay taxes for them, and they can't afford to suffer from a few surplus money.
The head of the Cui family glanced at his eldest son and shook his head helplessly and said: "Shut up, I am the head of the family, I am still your father, when will it be your turn to question my decision, if you are talking nonsense, get out of here." β
There are still so many worries between life and death, and the head of the Cui family is very disappointed in his son, it seems that his education is still not enough.
"Okay, the drama of educating my son doesn't need to be played here, I said that if I let you go, I will definitely let it go, and pull the contract of the field over, from now on I will be the owner of those lands, and I will not charge a penny for you if you can use those lands, but you have to help me do one thing, from now on, your Cui family is my subordinate, obedient and obedient will naturally be indispensable to your benefits, the money in this world is like a floating cloud to me, what I want will always be something you can't think of."
Chen Mo, who was sitting in the seat, spoke, and the head of the Cui family also stopped scolding his son, since he had decided to do so, the head of the Cui family naturally had to agree, but...
"The field contract is only mine, although the other clans are also the Cui family, after all, they have been separated, even if I am the patriarch, I can't control them, so I can only represent my branch, you see..."
The head of the Cui family happily brought all the title deeds of their family, including the title deeds of shops in Chang'an and other places, and all of them were sacrificed, looking at these title deeds, Chen Mo glanced at the head of the Cui family unexpectedly, I didn't expect this guy to be so resolute, saying that all is all, and there is no selfishness at all.
And after getting these contracts, the places represented on those contracts were instantly brightened on Chen Mo's mini-map, the map... expanded.
Yang Wei put away these contracts and said: "You are very good, since you are like this, then give you a chance, after you go back, raise more chickens, will you raise chickens?" Forget it, I'll let Jace make you an incubator, and then you can use the incubator to hatch more chickens and ducks and other poultry, by the way, and pig breeding too, find a eunuch in the palace with a knife to come out for castration, can you do it? β
"Chickens? Incubator? Pig? Still need a eunuch with a knife? "A series of requests directly blinded the Cui family master, is there any connection between these things? The so-called incubator should be used to hatch chickens, which is understandable, but eunuchs and pigs...
"You just do it, after you have done all this, wait for the harvest, you will know that it is your greatest luck to take refuge in me, but when you go back, remember to dispose of all the evil slaves in your family, I don't like those foxes and fake tiger things, including yourself.
It is understandable that the family can be superior to others because of the great advantages formed by the legacy of the ancestors such as intellectual wealth and so on, and you can use these advantages to develop yourself, but I will not be accustomed to using such advantages for evil. β
There is already a hierarchy in the world, even if it is in the later life after Chen Mo came over, there is an invisible hierarchy, and it is useless to shout the slogan that everyone is equal every day.
Because people are inherently different, if you insist that all beings are equal, then it is unfair to those who are born smarter than others, obviously I am better than you, why can you live the same life as me without knowing anything? Just because everyone is equal?
That's not equality, in Chen Mo's view, the so-called equality of everyone is just equality of opportunity, everyone has the opportunity to compete, but if you are inferior to others, then you can't blame the world for producing levels.
When the head of the Cui family walked out of the cross slope, he felt like a dream, and when he came, he was ready to be blackmailed and even bankrupt, but now it seems that there is no other loss except for handing over the title deed, and it seems that he has earned something called an incubator.
"When you go home, build a house and then I will go to guide the installation, teach you how to use it, and if you need chickens, you can buy them from the farmers around the cross slope, they have been raising them for a while, and they have some chickens or chicks in stock, the price is stipulated on the billboard, and you can talk about it yourself if you don't exceed that range, okay, that's all for the time being, you can go back."
It was Jace who came out to see them off, and after explaining it, Jace left, and the head of the Cui family stood on the road and Cui Chengyuan and looked blankly at the pedestrians coming and going on the main road.
"That's it? Father, are we all right? Cui Cheng said after a long time, as if everything was in a dream.
"It's okay, but in the future, our branch can't be counted as the Cui family, and when I go back, I will give up the position of the head of the Cui family, and in the future, our surname Cui will not be Qinghe Cui..." The head of the Cui family said with some interest.
"Why should my father do this? No one knows, anyway, we... β
"Nobody knows? Oh, there is no impermeable wall in the world, rather than being found out by others and ousted from power, it is better to take the initiative to let go, so as to get a good reputation, so be it, you are a good official in the court, and now there is a cross slope as a backing, you may not necessarily have a better future, child... The head of the Cui family patted him on the shoulder, and then walked towards the village in front.
