Fan Changwang, the patriarch of the Fan surname, was at the head of Fan Changyou in Xiao Fan Zhuang at this time, because the social fire was selected in Xiao Fan Zhuang, the prestige of Da Fan Zhuang was reduced by a few percent, and Fan Changwang could only move the bottle to teach, and went to Xiao Fan Zhuang to discuss the charter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But after years of accumulating prestige, Fan Changyou is still a voice worm in front of him. The two smoked bag after bag of cigarettes, and the room was full of smoke, but nothing could be discussed.

Fan Changyou's grandson Fan Zhiwu's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Uncle Nine! There you are! Please come in, grandpa and the patriarch are in the upper room, and I will show you the way. ”

When the door opened, the two old men saw Fan Jin, dressed in a brand-new straight jacket and wearing a new corrugated hat, walking slowly from the outside. Against the backdrop of smoke in the house, it is as if Da Luo Jin Xian came to the world. The two old men looked at each other, and a thought arose in their hearts: the shield had arrived.

"Jin Zai, it's good that you're back, I heard that you were hit by the crime in the city this time, so it's not prestigious. Originally, Uncle wanted to set up a few tables of wine and congratulate you. But who would have thought that there would be such a disaster again, but they didn't have the heart to do wine. This time, our Fan family can only rely on you to get ahead, if you don't make a move, our whole clan will be in great trouble, and the whole village will not be able to keep it. ”

The two old men are usually in the village, and they are also the overlords of one party, they cared about widows when they were young, and they were related to other people's fields when they were old, but now they are in tears, and they look pitiful, which makes people almost unbelievable. Fan Jin remained silent on his face, only invited the second elder to sit down, and then said,

"Two uncles, the little nephew only heard one or two sentences from his mother about this matter, her old man is a woman after all, and her knowledge is limited, please tell me about the second elder, what is the situation?"

The situation introduced by Fan Changwang is actually no different from Fan's mother, and Fan Jin's move is nothing more than taking the responsibility off his mother to show that he knows nothing. After listening, he nodded and said:

"I see, that's tricky. Originally, the county magistrate had something to say, let the little nephew go home, go to the provincial capital as soon as possible to study, and prepare for the government exam after January, this is a major event of fame and fame, and it cannot be delayed, so the little nephew will not be in his hometown for too long. And this matter, the cause of trouble, if it is involved, I don't know how much time it will take, not to mention that it involves the two Guangyin military gates, once the army is evil, how can I resist this little future? ”

Fan Changyou saw Fan Jin's words and pushing, his face was pale, but Fan Changwang took two puffs of cigarettes, "Jinzai, now there are only the three of us, the words come out of your mouth, into our ears, what do you want, just say, don't go around in such a big circle." ”

Fan Jin said: "Cool! I don't ask for much, my mother is very old, and the work in the field keeps her old man busy, and the son of man is like burning inside, her heart is anxious, her mind is confused, and she can't think of any ideas. ”

"Is that all there is to it? That's easy, from tomorrow, Changyou and I will send someone to help your family take care of the fields and ensure your family's harvest. If it doesn't work, he will allocate a ration from the food in the clan, so that his brother and daughter-in-law will not starve. ”

"There is another thing, the little nephew is going to study in the provincial capital, and there are few people in the family to cook. Although Sister Hu can help, her strength is always limited, can the village send a few women to help the family do some work......

Fan Changyou took over this time, "I have several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law in my family, and the old man can still support them, just send them." ”

"Third, this matter cannot be perfected, it can only be cut with a knife and tofu on both sides. We can't be exempt from all the money, food, and servitude. The demand for money and food is very urgent, and this expense is inevitable, so we can only solve the problem in terms of money and food. The little nephew was in the provincial capital this time, did a small business, had good luck, and earned more than 20 taels of silver. I'll take eighteen taels out to help our village get this money and grain. ”

The total annual tax grain of the large and small Fanzhuang is less than 100 stones, and the current silver price in Guangzhou is acceptable, and one tael of silver can buy more than two stones of white grain. However, in order to supply the officers and men with rations, there is no need for good fine grains, and only cheap coarse grains can be used to meet the demand. These eighteen taels of silver can buy nearly sixty stone of coarse grain, and if the two villages get together, the remaining forty stone of grain will be much less stressful.

In the hands of the two leaders, they actually still have some life-saving silver taels, but they are unwilling to take them out to solve this matter. Now that Fan Jin has taken out his private savings, if they don't take out the money, the two of them are in the village, and it is actually difficult to explain. Fan Changwang said: "Jin Tsai actually took out so many silver taels, then I will not fall behind, the rest of the part, we Dafan Zhuang to get together, the tax and grain thing, can always be completed." ”

Fan Changyou also said: "I can't let the Da Fan Zhuang family suffer, although my Xiao Fan Zhuang is weak, I am willing to go all out." Brother Changwang rest assured, even if I smash the pot and sell iron this time, I will have to make up for this part of the money and grain. What about the Master? Jin Zai, you know, Mr. Hong is the most unreasonable, in a word, he wants a hundred men from our village, how can we have so many men? I think it's better for you to talk to Hong Chengen and ask him to send less ding, even if it is more silver. ”

Fan Changwang said: "I have thought about this Ding service. We can't afford a hundred people, but sixty people can always be accepted. Since this messenger sent us two villages, not two surnames, there is a place to do tricks. As long as we assign the servants to those with foreign surnames, our own people can be exempted from hard labor. As soon as those people were gone, their fields ...... We just bought it. ”

Fan Jin shook his head, "Uncle, now, don't bother with the idea of digging up meat and mending sores." is like a person with a foreign surname like Hu Butcher, who will send him to serve, I'm afraid he won't take a knife and fight with you? Besides, if there is internal discord in Fan Zhuang, if we go against the Hong family again, we will definitely suffer. The current matter of this master is a golden opportunity. In the past, we fought with the Hong family, and most of the other surnames sat and watched the success or failure, and the victory or defeat depended on themselves. This time his master was sent to the whole village, and those men were also among them. It's time to mobilize everyone to fight the same enemy and meet the Hong family together! If we miss this opportunity, where will we look for it? ”

"Having said that, you don't use those people with foreign surnames to be masters, so who do we use? You can't really call your own people to be teachers. ”

Fan Jin shook the sleeves of his robe and said, "The money and food will be handed over, master...... Not a pie! On the battlefield, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and there is danger to life at any time. Our fellow villagers in Fanjiazhuang are all relatives of Fan's siblings, how can we watch them go on adventures on the battlefield? As long as the two of you follow my method, you have to collect the money and food, and leave the rest to the little nephew to do, but I want to see if Hong Chengen has the ability to pull the people in our village to the battlefield! ”
