Faced with their father's tough attitude, the three Li brothers could only keep silent.

There is no way, in this etiquette society, everyone must abide by the constraints of etiquette.

Just like the future generations, we must pay attention to our own reputation, once the credit is over, this life will be ruined.

Ancient times were a strange society, yes, in Li Yuanji's opinion, it was indeed like this.

It is said that it is a legal system, and there are a large number of human factors in the system, and it is said that it is a human system, but the legal system is real.

Although Li's father released cruel words, none of his sons dared to go to the government to sue his father, for no other reason, in today's society, as a son, if he dares to sue his father, the government will not care whether you are right or wrong.

Of course, there are even more bizarre things, crimes committed within three generations of direct lineage, as long as it is not a rebellion or a crime of great rebellion, we must follow the principle of hiding the prime minister by kissing the prime minister.

That is, as long as they do not commit crimes other than rebellion or rebellion, the guilty should cover up and conceal each other, and they must not report it to the government.

The government will not pursue criminal liability for acts of accommodating crimes between relatives.

It comes from Confucius's propagation that 'the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and it is directly in it'.

Since Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, this law has been used by later generations, and it was also still used during the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, if you have to report, it's not impossible, the government will verify your report according to it, and it can be regarded as a formal case, but as a whistleblower, you won't get the reward you imagined.

What awaits you is the punishment of the government, the accusations and scolding of the people and neighbors.

Li Biao was very smart and directly threw this problem to his father and asked his father to make this decision.

No matter whether the decision made by his father was a blessing or a loss for himself, Li Biao admitted it.

In the same way, the other three brothers were also recognized.

Otherwise, an unfilial daimyo will be buckled, and it will be considered light to kill all three of them.

As long as Father Li ruthlessly goes to the government to accuse them of unfilial piety, there is no need for any other evidence, and he directly takes out today's matter, and there is no doubt that the second, fourth, and fifth children will be in prison, and there will be no good results when they get inside.

I don't know if it was specially arranged by God, or if they happened to meet together.

As soon as Li's father finished making a decision, and his four sons did not dare to have an opinion, the members of the working group knocked on the door of the Li family.

In order to demonstrate efficiency, the household department and Luozhou have made a lot of money this time, not only did a lot of preparation work in advance, but also specially borrowed some people from the supervisor's desk and the academy.

Efficiency, this is what Li Yuanji has repeatedly advised.

Three days of dry sinking here, with these three days, to show the world the results of a series of reforms in the imperial court.

Although it may not be possible to be so fast all the time, no matter how you look at it, the same thing, before and in the future, will definitely be two different efficiency.

"Gong Li, do you have a ruler at home?" Tian Weng waved his hand towards Father Li and asked.

Every working group must be led by a small official who is familiar with this place, which is equivalent to the film police in later generations, but it is far more responsible than the film police, and of course, the area in charge is much smaller than that of the film police in later generations.

These little officials squatted here all day long, and if there was any news, they would report it quickly, and what things would be conveyed through them, and each of them would be responsible for about a hundred households, so they could clearly say which family's surname was what, what it was called, and how many people it was.

And the Li family is also very familiar with Tian Weng, Tian Weng's father is a minor official of the government, and Tian Weng also took over his father's position, which can be said to be a generational junior official......

"Yes! Yes! Da Lang go and get it......" Although he couldn't figure it out, Father Li still nodded and urged Li Biao to move faster.

"It's still good for Gong Li, this old man is also old, full of children and grandchildren, and now he has encountered this great thing, and the eldest brother is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, and the life of this family in the future will be directly on par with the landlords." Taking advantage of the gap between Li Biao's ruler, Tian Weng chatted with Father Li with a smile, and deliberately raised his voice, as if he was saying it to some people.

"Hey, even if you have a lot of money, it's not as good as Rijin Douwen, old, old, the affairs of this family will be under the care of Dalang in the future, and the old man still enjoys the blessings."

"Yes, that's it." Tian Weng chuckled and nodded, and continued to ask, "I don't know how Gong Li plans to divide this property?" ”

"The second, fourth, and fifth will each take one percent, and the rest will be Da Lang's."

"Hey, this is also to meet an enlightened person like Li Gong, I heard that when Chang'an was demolished, there was a family that had been separated for one or two decades, similar to your situation, his sons outside came back to ask for money and property, but because the sons have never taken care of the old couple since they split up, so the old couple was angry, and they didn't give them a single penny, all of which were left to the eldest son. As a result, the sons made a fuss, and in the end, it was the government that came forward and sent all the sons who didn't know what to do to the frontier, which stabilized. Tian Weng said pointedly, but it was not good to save face, and continued:

"The fourth brother and the fourth brother are good, although they have divided the family, but the food that should be given every year is not less, and now Li Gong divides them into one, which is also what they deserve for not forgetting their father's affection over the years."

Hearing that there was a similar case in Chang'an, and the result was so miserable, the second, fourth, and fifth three instantly shrank their necks, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts in their hearts.

After all, the family has been separated for so long, and it has been said that the boss will give them money, and they will go to their hometown to build a house, this old house will be given to the boss, and the boss will be responsible for the life of the second elder, they only need to give three stones of grain every year.

But in fact, they didn't lose at all, because of the war, plus other reasons, even if Luozhou is a narrow township, the thirty acres of land under Li's father's name are still not less at all, and when it comes to a few of their brothers, each of them only has a dozen acres left, not that they are sold, but there is no land at all, everyone is the same, who can blame whom?

And these thirty acres of land are divided into fields, but there is no boss to do, and they are all divided equally by the three brothers.

Therefore, even if three stones are taken out every year, and some other factors are removed, each household can still drop more than five stones of grain from these ten acres of land every year.

They don't want to be assigned to the frontier, not to mention that there are precedents there?

After a lot of effort, Li Biao found a ruler, which was made by the government in a unified manner, and the specifications were the same all over the country.

However, because of poverty, Li Biao did not buy a regular ruler, but borrowed one from a neighbor, and then found a piece of wood to make a handful, although there were some errors, but the error was not large, within the acceptable range.

Tian Weng took the ruler, handed it to the person next to him, and said to Father Li and the others: "Gong Li, it is definitely not possible to use your ruler to measure the house, it is too short, and the measurement is not accurate. ”

"No...... Naturally, it won't ...... Can the government still believe it? Father Li and the others shouted that they wouldn't, but they took a step very honestly.

What Tian Weng had to do was very simple, that is, he took out the long ruler newly made by the government, which was actually made of a piece of cloth with words on it, and a ruler made by the government in a unified manner, as well as the ruler that Li Biao took, and compared the three together, so that they could see that it was no problem for them to see clearly.

However, the embarrassing thing is that maybe Li Biao's ruler has been used for a long time, or maybe it is for other reasons, the two official rulers are actually longer than the one Li Biao took out, although not much.

Then there's the measurement, which is even simpler.

The houses are all rectangular or square, but in order to convince the people, they still went around the courtyard wall, although the data is a little different, but the deviation is not large, there is a deviation of less than a foot.

"Sixteen zhang long, fourteen and a half zhang wide, does Li Gong have any objections?" After measuring the data, Tian Weng asked Father Li, but someone behind him was pressing up.

"No, no." Father Li shook his head again and again, how old is his family, can he still not know? Therefore, this data is still relatively recognized.

"Figured it out!" A middle-aged man who looked like a student wrote and drew again, and then handed it to another person to measure, confirmed that it was correct, and handed a piece of paper to Tian Weng.

"Your family is a total of 232 square feet (no meter, this unit, in fact, is a meaning. According to our compensation standard, each square zhang is 300 yuan, a total of 69,600 yuan, that is, 69 square zhang 600 yuan, and the moving fee is 25 square zhang and 500 yuan, and you are nine 25 square zhang, less than ten, so it can only be calculated according to nine 25 square zhang, that is, 4,500 yuan, four 500 yuan, and the other is these trees...... Tian Weng pointed to those flowers and trees and the like, and checked them one by one.

Because someone had already checked it when it was measured before, the final compensation could be obtained, but it was still necessary to explain it to the Li family.

"A total of seventy-six and one hundred dollars!"

"Seven...... Seventy-six? Li Si's mouth widened and said in disbelief: "Miscalculated, right?" Sixteen zhang, isn't it supposed to be sixteen? ”

If it's sixteen, forget it, that one percent is less than two, but seventy-six percent, even if you take one percent, but the boss of Temeow still has dozens of runs in his hands.

What are you doing with dozens of times? The answer is obvious, the threshold of the old family will be broken, and there are people everywhere who come to talk about matchmaking, not only those who talk about matchmaking, but they can also pick at will.

Even if you don't do odd jobs in the future, this day is still beautiful, and it won't take ten times to build a bigger and more magnificent new house outside.

MMP, the fourth and others couldn't help but feel a resentment in their hearts, but they could only bury it in their hearts and didn't dare to show it.

The next step was even simpler, no one thought that there would be so much money, so when Tian Weng took out the agreement and asked them to sign half of it, Father Li's hands trembled and pressed his fingerprints.

As for why the other half didn't sign it, it was very simple, what was signed was a confirmation agreement, and then the government would put the money on their account, and then they took the note issued by the government and went to the money bank to sign the other half, and after signing, they could take it and save it.
