Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Little Patriarch's "Kong Mingce"
When he saw Mei's, Gui Chongyang couldn't help but moan, not because he was pretending to be anything, but because of the hot pain in the palm of his hand. He already regarded Mei as a relative in his heart, so he couldn't help but be coquettish. It is like a child who falls and gets up on his own without an adult by his side; With adults around, be sure to cry and wait for someone to coax.
"What's going on?" Mei Shi was startled and hurriedly asked.
"Hurt ......" Gui Chongyang stretched out his hand pitifully.
Mei hurriedly went to look and saw two or three soybean-sized blood blisters on the tiger's mouth on the white and tender little hands.
"It's going to have to be picked." Mei Shi showed a little distress.
Gui Wu and Gui Chun also regretted a little, they shouldn't have allowed Gui Chongyang to mess around.
Mei took a needle and thread, picked up the blood blisters on Gui Chongyang's hands, and wrapped them in clean cloth.
"Show it to the fifth uncle." Gui Chongyang saw Gui Wu retract his right hand back into his sleeve and said busily.
Everyone looked at Gui Wu, and Gui Wu smiled: "I'm fine." ”
Mei Shi trusted Gui Chongyang and knew that he was not a child, so he still looked at Gui Wu.
Gui Wu sneered, stretched out his right hand, and the palm of his hand was a mess, and several blood blisters the size of peanuts were worn out, revealing the tender flesh inside.
Gui Chun was stunned, looking at his expression, obviously unable to understand why his uncle's hand was more injured than Gui Chongyang.
Gui Chongyang's eyes narrowed, and he finally understood why the Jiang family and Gui Wu could "break up peacefully", and Gui Wu still had to bear the pension of the Jiang family after returning to the sect. The Jiang family's raising of Gui Wu is really "pampered", and it is rare that Gui Wu, who has enjoyed a good life for more than ten years, has not forgotten his roots and dislikes the poor family, nor is he greedy for wealth and nobility, he does not seek to be motivated, and only thinks about the Jiang family's teahouse.
"What can you do?" Mei is a cousin, and there is nothing to avoid, so she helped Gui Wu clean up her wounds and bandage them.
Gui Wu laughed at himself: "If you don't move your muscles and bones, you will be wasted." ”
Mei said: "Take your time, where is a handful!" ”
Gui Chongyang saw that Gui Wu's blood blisters were all in the palm of his hand, and there was a thin cocoon at the tiger's mouth, so he said: "Fifth Uncle's hand is a writing hand, so don't worry about these agricultural things in the future." ”
Gui Chun saw the wheat field in the six points, and he hurt his uncle and cousin, and he was very uneasy, and immediately said when he heard this: "Yes, I will be alone in these jobs in the future." In total, there are not a few acres of land at home, so they don't need so many people. ”
Gui Chongyang said: "Brother Houchun doesn't need to go to the ground, as long as you know the doorway here, don't let people fool you." ”
Gui Chun was still confused: "Zhuanghu, how can you not go to the ground?" ”
Gui Wu and Mei glanced at each other, but they were worried.
"Chongyang, are you going to buy land?" Gui Wu asked.
"Yes, the shop has to be bought, and the land has to be bought. The fifth uncle is going to end next year, and the cultivators are more willing to talk about it. Brother Chun is simple and honest, I am afraid that it is not suitable for other businesses, and it is just right to take care of Zhuangtian. Gui Chongyang said.
In the past, Gui Chongyang had arrangements for Gui Chun and Gui Qiu's brothers, but now that Gui Wu is here, he can let Gui Chun concentrate on farming.
Mei frowned and said: "It's not that easy, not to mention that the land is expensive now, even Village Chief Du will not let the Gui family buy the land naturally." ”
Gui Chongyang said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it just waiting to be bought in the village, and a little village chief can still cover the sky with one hand?" ”
Since there is a relationship, if you can bypass Village Chief Du once, you can bypass him a second time.
Gui Wuyi was stunned: "Then where are you going to buy it?" Nanjing's civil and military officials moved north, and good land was in demand. ”
Gui Chongyang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, and when the time comes, let Uncle Zhong help introduce a similar one." The magnates are all big Zhuangzi, and the scattered hundreds of acres may not be worth it, and this kind of partiality is not something that ordinary people can afford. ”
The "Uncle Zhong" in Gui Chongyang's mouth is not someone else, it is Zhong Xiaoyi, who has met twice in the past few days. He is the secretary of the county government, not only the migration of the population to settle down, but also the transfer of land to sign the red deed here.
Gui Wu nodded, this little Chongyang will use people. If you want to buy land, Senior Brother Zhong is indeed a shortcut.
Mei and Gui Chun focused on another important point.
"A hundred or ten acres?" Mei disagreed: "It's too ostentatious, in this way, I'm afraid that everyone in the village will target the Gui family." ”
"No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains", this sentence remains unchanged.
Gui Chongyang said: "I just want them to keep an eye on it, now in this world, everyone has a pair of snobbish eyes, if the Gui family is still 'poor', then they will only be bullied." With the land under his name, life will pass, and people will follow suit. ”
No matter what, we must give the people in the village a step to ease relations with the Gui family, and we can't let the Gui family continue to be isolated like this. There is a village chief Du with ill intentions, who knows when to calculate the Gui family, rather than the Gui family being isolated at that time, it is better to find a way to pull the villagers as allies now.
The Jiang family's teahouse is the first in Xiji Town, and it can be kept intact, and it is not afraid of being robbed and annexed, which is the strength of the Jiang family.
Since they are all a family, Gui Chongyang has no intention of seeing the outside world, and before the Gui family is established, he has to borrow the relationship of the Jiang family to temporarily shelter one or two. More than 100 acres of land are the top of the sky in the eyes of the villagers, and they are nothing in the eyes of the people of Xiji Town.
Gui Wu didn't know that Gui Chongyang had already calculated the Jiang family in his heart and broke the deadlock between the Gui family and the villagers for more than ten years.
Gui Wu praised on his face: "How does your little head grow, I didn't even think of this." To lure it, not bad, not bad. ”
In the final analysis, the "Difficulty of Jiuding" is all about the Gui family and the Gui family's in-laws, and the other villagers are just a false alarm. The reason why the villagers hated and rejected the Gui family was at first the guidance of the Du village chief and the Mei family, and later it was the fear of the Du family, which made them dare not get close to the Gui family.
If there is the benefit of real money, who will remember to mention Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains again? After all, the village chief is only the village chief, and he can put on small shoes for disobedient villagers, but he will not really have the ability to kill people. At that time, the silver money is strong, and the fear of Village Chief Du is nothing.
Gui Chongyang said proudly: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Kong Mingce in the book!" ”
Seeing that Gui Chongyang really wanted to buy land, Gui Chun hesitated and said, "Chongyang, if you really buy land, can you give me a plant?" I'll give you forty percent of the rent, and I'll take good care of the land. ”
The land rent in Tongzhou is thirty and a half to forty percent, and what Gui Chun said is not less.
Gui Chongyang was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Gui Chun.
Gui Chun looked serious, expecting to be apprehensive.
"Brother Chun, that land will be the first family land of the Gui family, and I added it to the family on behalf of my father, not mine, but everyone." Gui Chongyang is colorful.
Gui Chun didn't understand, and his eyes showed confusion: "Then can I still plant?" ”
"No, I'll give it up." Gui Chongyang did not hesitate.
The light in Gui Chun's eyes was annihilated, and his thin and tall figure involuntarily stiffened.
Gui Chongyang said: "Brother Chun will go to the head of the village, and go to check the crops when the spring is planted and the autumn harvest is made." ”
Only then did Gui Chun understand the meaning of Gui Chongyang's words, and hurriedly said: "Don't go out, I planted it, and I don't have to give the grain to others in vain!" ”
Gui Chongyang shook his head and patiently explained: "Brother Chun, because of the Du family, we can't buy the fields in the village, we can only buy those from other villages. At that time, it is necessary to use the tenants in the local village, so that the field can be safely maintained. In the future, I will continue to buy the fields at home, and there will be more places to work with Brother Chun when the time comes, and I won't let you be idle. ”
Gui Chun was still ignorant of the future described by his cousin, but he still nodded honestly and responded: "If you use me, I will help you." ”
In Gui Chun's heart, he still regarded the land he was going to buy as his cousin's private property, and he didn't have the idea that it was communist.
Gui Chongyang saw that he was not enlightened, and shook his head helplessly.
Mei Duo came over to call everyone to dinner, heard the conversation between the two brothers, looked at Gui Chun's clumsiness, lowered his head and smiled.
It's good that stupid people have stupid blessings.
