"Hu Butcher is very shrewd, his mother-in-law is even more sophisticated, and the two of them are really a pair of live treasures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is now seeing that the princess is looking at it, and the aunt is a responsible person, and she is very kind, but she is not very bright in taking care of the family business. One of them becomes a housekeeper, the other becomes a housekeeper, and the son will be a long-term follower for you, and the daughter will be a maid for you, and if you give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, you can have a name, and the family will rely on you, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing from now on. I bet that if you answer him, within half a year, your family property will have to be 30% surnamed Hu. ”

After all, Liang Pandi was mixed up in the market, and his mind was sober, and after analyzing Yu Hu's calculations, he guessed his intentions. Hu Butcher's biggest loss was that he failed to make a marriage contract with Sister Hu before Fan Jin was developed. It's impossible to think about it now. So many eunuchs have not succeeded in the front, and he has no hope. And with Fan Jin's identity, sleeping with Sister Hu will not become a shortcoming, and there will be nothing to make trouble, all he can do is stop loss.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongwu system did prohibit ordinary people from keeping slaves and maids, but they could still be mixed up in the way of righteous children. In the Jiajing period, even from the judicial point of view, the legality of keeping slaves and maids began to be gradually recognized. For example, during the Chenghua period, the powerful families in Nan'an and Ganzhou hid and migrated, acted as domestic slaves and servants, and ended up being thieves. During the Jiajing period, when Lei Menglin of the Criminal Department explained the law, he believed that the homes of the common people were not allowed to keep slaves and maids, and the families of scholars and doctors were allowed to have them.

And Guangzhi also recorded in the interpretation: Guangshan recommended the township book (that is, the Zhongju people), and the ten hundred generations of slaves came with the land, and they did not listen to the dispatch, and did not spend food and clothing. It can be seen that at this time, it is actually a very common thing to raise people to keep slaves.

A township test Yakui, no accident will definitely be able to become a Jinshi, Hu Butcher misses a Jinshi son-in-law, he can't miss a Jinshi gold master. Sold into Fan's mansion as a slave, it seems that he suffered a great loss, from a free man to a slave, but in fact, there is no harm except that he may call Fan's mother and call his mother, and be commensurate with Fan Jin's brothers.

First of all, Fan's mother is not the kind of powerful woman, as a slave in the Fan family, there will be no threat from anyone. Secondly, the status of a slave affects the imperial examination, but Hu Er obviously has nothing to do with the imperial examination, his biggest ideal before was to change from a servant to a regular servant, and in the social structure of the Ming Dynasty, a poor person can't take the imperial examination, so it doesn't make a difference if he is a slave or not. Fan Jin is currently on the rise in his career, and the Guangdong Township Test Yakui is definitely a gold-lettered signboard, and going out with this signboard can deter a group of people in the government.

Hu Butcher is now the head of the slaughterhouse in Guangzhou, and if he borrows this tiger skin again, he doesn't know how much benefit he can leave in the future. Even those land rents under Fan Jin's name, as long as he thinks of a way, he can make a lot of money. Compared to the two, this slavery is actually nothing.

Liang Pandi said: "Then how do you reply to him, do you agree or not?" After all, there is the face of the eldest sister here, and if things are stiff, the eldest sister will not be a good person. ”

"It's not going to be stiff, it's always easy to talk about it. I'll take it big sister, after all, if you follow me, I'll be right about her. As for the Hu family's family of three, forget it, I can't afford to have such a big brother. Hu Er has been a servant for so long and has not become famous, but fortunately, he has not caused a big disaster, I just let him be a servant, and this bit of face can still be given. As for the Hu butchers and their husbands, I will not take them as slaves, but I will give them some money...... Don't think about big numbers, the more you give, the more troublesome it is. ”

Liang Pandi sighed and said: "This is my benefit, my father doesn't know where he died, several sisters only have a second sister, and she has a temperament that doesn't smoke or fire, so she doesn't dare to help me do things in the grain store, let alone ask for benefits." So you just pick a cheap one for nothing, and no one asks you for this or that. ”

Fan Jin smiled and hugged her slender waist and said, "Good third sister, even if you really ask for me, I will give it to you." Well, I still have something you want to do for me? If people want to leave Guangzhou, they must also leave something for Ling Zhijun, one is iron, and the other is the land inspection ......"

"Land inspection?"

"Yes, if you want to implement a whip law, the most important thing is to know how many fields and how many people you have under your rule. I don't know how to collect taxes. It's easy to say, but it's going to kill people, and the servants go to measure the land, either forcing people to death or being beaten to death, and they can't figure it out. But the same thing cannot be done by the government, so the landlord can do it. It's all land in my name, and I always have to know how much I need to collect rent, and that's no problem. As for people, the same is true, the white books of the government have long become waste paper, and it is difficult to figure out how many people there are. I took this opportunity to find out how many people and fields there are in Jinsha. Third sister, you can write and calculate, write a booklet for me and send it to the yamen of the army, and with this army, you will have a rough idea of the tax. Then there is iron ore. In that place in Danzhou, there should be a big iron mine, I can't say where it is, but as long as you look in this direction, you can definitely find it. ”

"Qiongzhou is salt-drying, and Danzhou is iron-mining. With salt and iron, Guangdong's manpower can absorb most of it. Plus land inspection...... It can be regarded as helping Ling Zhijun as much as possible, so that he can do a few achievements. His old man prepared a fire card for me, and contacted a boat to send me to Nanjing, and this is the only thing I can repay him. This favor was handed over to the third sister, and the work of inspecting the land was done by Hu Butcher and his wife. If they don't listen, they will drive them away, and they will turn their faces when they should turn their faces, and they will not be polite. The good thing about these two people is that they are shrewd enough and not easy to fool, and besides, they can't guess what I think, so you just have to say, they can do a good job. ”

Liang Pandi covered his mouth and smiled, "You still have brains, and you make the best use of your materials." But all this favor has been done to me? ”

"Yes, my family can't find anyone who can negotiate with the outside, only hard work. Perfunctory with all aspects, do business. Therefore, you have to make these contributions, and you will have an identity to deal with the government in the future. Even if Ling Zhijun is promoted, it will not be so good that people will go to the tea, and with these credits, newcomers will have to sell your face. ”

The separation is imminent, and this separation is afraid that it will not be an overnight achievement, Fan Jin also wants to try to leave a way back for his family and the people he cares about before he leaves. The foundation of the Fan family is too poor, and it is impossible to find a steward who can come out to support the field. Sister Hu is loyal and reliable, but she is clumsy as a director, and she is very reluctant to be an internal manager. The Fan family has never seen the world, and it is extremely difficult to find someone who can entertain the government, Liang Pandi is not a suitable candidate, but he is the only one who can push out.

If you don't have enough of yourself, you can only rely on other things to make up for it. Fan Jin is actually not interested in mining, but he came here to perform by chance in the previous life, and heard that there is a huge iron mine in the Changjiang area of Hainan, which was plundered more than 500,000 tons of excellent ore Yunyun in World War II. According to geographical speculation, it should be in the area of Danzhou now.

Judging from his experience in the governor's yamen, this iron mine is still unknown and is considered a blank. This kind of gap may be protected by the place, or it may be simply not discovered, and it is not easy to say the reason. Fan Jin didn't think that if he said this iron ore, the imperial court would definitely be able to mine a large amount of ore, but with the Luoshan incident in the past, the local forces that wanted to hinder mining had to weigh the weight.

Salt and iron are both military affairs, Qiongzhou salt drying, Hainan iron mining, these two jobs can be carried out, Yu Lingyunyi itself is very beneficial, Yu Daming is naturally harmless. The so-called emancipation and development of productive forces and other things, Fan Jin did not think about doing it, nor did he think that he could do it, only within the scope of his ability, without affecting himself on the premise, put forward some suggestions, and by the way, let himself obtain some benefits.

Dedicating this mineral deposit and land seizure allows Ling Yunyi to see his own feelings, and the local iron ore also has related interests to share. There is a relationship of interest, Liang Pandi Nian and even the entire Fan family clan will be smoother when dealing with the government, which is his main purpose.

Liang Pandi didn't know Fan Jin's specific judgment, but he knew that he was thinking so much about himself, and the emotion in his heart went without saying, and he held Fan Jin's hand tightly and said:

"Xianggong, when you go to Beijing to take the exam, why do you have to bring people with you. The Fan family will definitely send someone here, this is nothing to say. But I have a sentence to say, they are all croppers, and following you is just to mix up the future, and there are actually things that cannot be trusted. I want to send someone who can use it with you, how about Guan Qing? He is okay, and people have run through the rivers and lakes, and he will not suffer with him. And Ah Qiao......"

"She's blind, isn't it a burden for me to take her?"

"I know, but she's always a girl. You...... How can I do without a woman around? In case you can't help it......"

"Then let's go clear the building."

"Then put up with me!" Liang Pandi gritted his teeth and said, and then he was hugged by Fan Jin, and the two rolled together with a smile. Pieces of clothing flew up, and they were about to separate, and they had to hurry.

In another room, the eldest sister was concentrating on sewing a cotton jacket under the lamp, and filled it with fine silk cotton with great care. In fact, with Fan Jin's current financial resources, it is not difficult to buy a few cotton clothes, and the eldest sister's craftsmanship is not outstanding. But she continued to concentrate on her work, filling in cotton and mending needles and threads. Making winter clothes is a very wasteful job, in order to complete it before Fan Jin's departure, she has been working for several nights, but she has never called a bitter word. The eldest sister, who has never been far away, only heard that the winter in the north is very cold, and she will wear her own hand-sewn cotton clothes when she wants to enter her brother, as long as she wears it, she will not be cold when she enters ...... brother. Seeing that they were about to separate, she had to hurry.

The needle was pricked on the finger, the blood beads fell into the silk cotton, leaving a little blood on the cotton, the girl gritted her teeth, stitch after stitch, and continued to work hard......

Ten days later, the Pearl River Wharf.

The ship had already untied the cable and set sail, Fan Jin was standing on the deck, behind him were Guan Qing and Fan Zhigao, one carrying a bookcase and the other carrying a bag and package. The two women on the pier waved their hands desperately, jumped on their feet, and gestured to Fan Jinbi. Sister Hu was already crying like a tearful person, and said while crying: "What should I do? The cotton clothes don't fit, but how can they be good? ”

"Jin Zai accepted it anyway, what does it matter if it fits or not?"

"I'm sad because Brother Jin accepted me, he is a scholar, what if he wears such a cotton coat, what if others laugh at him?"

"Don't worry, he's so powerful, no one laughs at him."

"Also, will Brother Jin get sick, will he meet robbers, will he fall in love with other girls, don't you want us?"

"He's going to take the exam, how can it be so easy to have girls ......" Before the words fell, he saw a small boat appear in the field of vision, the boat rowed very fast, and it was already getting closer and closer to the big boat that Fan Jin was riding, and then saw a figure jump up from the small boat, crossed an arc in the air, and then landed on the deck of the big ship.

Although because of the distance, I can't see the person clearly, but I am no stranger to this figure Liang Pandi, and gritted her teeth and said: "Why is the bigfoot sister here to see off, and she has to get on the boat!" Guan Qing, beat her to death! This is also too shameless! ”

The waves were rolling, the boat was far away, and the two women, who had had enough of crying, found each other's hands clasped together. When the man was there, the two were quite unfriendly, but when Fan Jin left, the two found that the closest person to them in this world was actually each other.

Liang Pandi touched the eldest sister's head and said, "Don't be afraid, he won the Jinshi this time, and he must be married." It is certain that the eldest woman will enter the door, but don't be afraid, there is a third sister to support you, and she doesn't dare to do anything to you. Go back, Haosheng watched the business for our men, and he kept telling us that women are not worse than men, and women can do what men can do. We can't disgrace him, we must do things well, otherwise he will lose face. ”

"Third sister...... Actually, I have an idea, it would be good if I didn't get into the Jinshi this time. Then no one will recruit him as a son-in-law, he can go home and accompany us, and we can be together forever without separation. Am I bad? ”

"No, actually, I also have this idea, but I don't dare to say it. Come, follow me to the pineapple temple to burn pillar incense. ”

"Don't be so desperate, I'm just saying, you don't have to beg the sea god not to let you enter the brother middle school, right? In fact, I also made a wish to Grandpa Wenchang, as long as I enter the brother and win the champion, it doesn't matter how much Yang Shou I take. ”

"You're stupid. Does the sea god care about this kind of thing? I'm asking the god of the sea to bless me and drown that man surnamed Lin in the sea! Dare to rob my husband with me, and hack her to death sooner or later! ”

Sister Hu looked back, the sail was no longer visible, only the hull was left, and the people on the boat couldn't see clearly. Thinking about this farewell, I don't know how long it will take to meet again, the eldest sister only felt extremely sour in her heart, and suddenly remembered what Fan Jin said to herself: regret asking her husband to find a marquis.
