Chapter 3 The cub sells Ye Tian and is not distressed
The Wang family in Hengshili is headed by Wang Min of the long house.
The Wang family is the most prominent Wang Zongyi of the Zhengde Dynasty, Wang Min is the third grandson of Wang Zongyi, with the help of the great ancestor Yu Yin, Wang Min has been the head of the Wang family, and his status in the family is respected.
However, Wang Min's ability to study is far inferior to that of his great-grandfather, he has been in the field for more than ten years, and every time he is famous, he sees that the imperial examination is hopeless after the age of thirty, so he simply donated a prison student status and concentrated on becoming a rich man.
Wang Kefan came to Wang Min's mansion, was hung in the side hall, and sat for most of the hour.
A cup of tea was brewed, drunk, so faint that I couldn't see the color, if I changed to a young man, I would definitely be impetuous and restless after waiting for so long. Wang Kefan has always been calm, sipping slowly with a teacup, and the faint tea seems to have an endless taste.
This can be regarded as a disadvantage, it seems that today's things are not simple......
There was a sound of footsteps, the curtain was lifted, and Wang Min finally appeared.
"My nephew visits my uncle." Wang Kefan got up and saluted, and threw himself to the ground.
Wang Min nodded as a reply, and sat down with a straight face, showing the majesty of the elders in his demeanor, but the corner of his eyes was looking at Wang Kefan coldly.
He and Wang Kefan's father Wang Rui are cousins, and the two had a bit of friendship when they were young. But with Wang Rui's imperial examinations in high school, Wang Min has been reprimanded and ridiculed countless times for many years, and in addition to jealousy, this brotherhood has long been wiped out, and he can't wait for Wang Rui to be killed by Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, so that the old father can see the fate of the villain in the spirit of heaven.
"Nephew, has there been any news of your father recently?"
"The north is not quiet, Li Chuang is in turmoil, and my father has not sent a letter for a long time." Wang Kefan shook his head.
"When Li Chuang occupied the entire territory of Shanxi at the beginning of the year, all the civil and military forces in Shanxi surrendered ......" Wang Min was halfway through speaking, suddenly raised his voice, glared at Wang Kefan and said: "I received conclusive news that your father has also surrendered to the thief!" This is a great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, do you know?! β
Do you scare children? It's a pity that he found the wrong object, and Wang Kefan stubbornly pushed back.
"My father is strong on the outside and inside, he is tough and tenacious, and his nephew is willing to vouch for his life, even if his father is white-bladed, he will definitely not be a thief! This kind of rumor is not good for my Wang family, please be careful in front of people. There is a faint warning in these words, everyone's surname is Wang, Wang Rui is smeared, and the entire Wang family is not good.
"Ridiculous! You're just a teenager who has just won the crown, so why should you vouch for your father? β
Wang Min frowned, trying to make a sad look, but he couldn't hold back the excitement in his eyes: "If the court investigates it, the whole Wang family will not escape the punishment of the court!" I have made up my mind, in order to ensure the safety of my Wang family, I have to expel your father from the clan! β
One family to one family, elders to juniors, and prepared a big hat to surrender to the enemy, adding up to the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, not afraid that Wang Kefan will not bow his head.
Wang Kefan raised his eyebrows slightly, the other party really had an arrangement, and he was so ruthless as soon as he made a move.
"In that case, how will my family be settled?" He asked calmly, now was not the time to be hard-hitting.
"The women and children in the family are naturally fine, and they will be raised in the old house, but the virtuous nephew is the eldest son and male in the family, so it is best to go out and avoid it."
"What to do with the family's land and house?"
"The house and the land are the same, and the old mansion is still inhabited by Lingtang, and it will not disturb her." Wang Min said kindly: "But you still have to make a show on the scene, your family's clan field will be handed over to me to take care of first, and it will be taken back to the clan to the outside world." β
Wang Kefan nodded, the other party's hole cards have been opened, the so-called no profit is not early, Wang Min has spent so much effort, in fact, he is still eyeing his own property.
Kai Kai father Wang Rui, drove himself away, and the clan field was also handed over to Wang Min for management, one ring after another, it was really calculating. Under the pressure of step by step, we must devour our own industry!
It's ridiculous that this uncle has exhausted all his organs, but he is short-sighted and short-sighted. As the Qing army moved south, Huguang would fall into a long-term war, and the jade would be burned, so what was the use of asking for these fields?
"My father is as innocent as the moon, and he will see it over time. Now the truth of this matter is unknown, if the father is to be expelled from the clan, the nephew can only go to Chongyang County to ask Xu Daling to be the master! β
Wang Kefan's voice was flat and calm, but it revealed an undoubted firmness, Wang Min was slightly stunned, and his face had changed color.
Chongyang County Ling Xu Bingzhong is Chongzhen's seven-year son, and he has a friendship with Wang Rui in the same case, if it comes to him, Wang Min will definitely not be able to please him. He believed that he also had a meritorious reputation, and he could barely compete with the county order, so he wanted to turn his face on the spot and use it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Kefan suddenly changed his words.
"But ......, now my father's whereabouts are unknown, and rumors are spreading. My uncle's dilemma can be understood by my nephew, so it's best to be flexible. β
The troubled times are coming, how can Wang Kefan have the leisure to compete with a rural landlord for family property, since Wang Min jumped out, it just gave him an opportunity to use his strength.
"Oh, hehehe...... this is a reasonable statement, how is the virtuous nephew going to be flexible?" Wang Min turned his anger into joy and nodded with a smile. This is a bargain, although this son is young and light, he is clever in his speech, and he should not be underestimated.
Although I firmly believe that Wang Rui has been a thief, but for the sake of stability, there is no need to rush to do things absolutely, if Wang Kefan knows each other, he will implement the favor first, and it is not too late to clean up Wang Rui after the news is clear.
The so-called being a man leaves a line, planning and then acting, this can only be understood, not spoken to others!
"You might as well deal with the matter of opening a monk and leaving the clan in a low-key manner, and delay it for a while. The matter in Shanxi will be settled within a few months, and then the father will naturally be able to return a clean slate, if the father is really a thief, let the uncle deal with it according to the family rules, the nephew will have nothing to say. β
Wang Kefan made a promise with all his heart, without any psychological burden. A few months later, the general trend of the world is a different situation, even if Wang Rui really demotes Li Zicheng, as long as Wang Min is not a bad brain, he will not come to entangle this matter.
"Well, what else?" Wang Min took a sip of tea noncommittally, and was more concerned about Wang Kefan's other conditions.
"In case the entire Wang family is implicated, I plan to move out of Hengshili with my mother and live temporarily in Chongyang County."
"This ......, isn't it right? Ling Tang is frail and sickly, so he should recuperate at home. Wang Min kept it in his mouth, but his heart was relieved. Wang Kefan is a young man in the end, he is arrogant and can't stand the grievances, and he will move his family away if he doesn't agree, which is so naΓ―ve and ridiculous! It just so happened that Wang Kefan's mother and son moved away from Hengshili, it was indeed a good move to clear up the relationship, am I still reluctant? Even if Wang Rui really surrenders to the thief, the Wang family will have a rhetoric to deal with it in the future.
"Thank you uncle for your concern, Chongyang is located in Chongchong, you can inquire about my father's news, it is more convenient for us to go there." Wang Kefan suddenly frowned, hesitated and said: "But there is another tricky thing, after my mother and I moved away, the acres of land in the family are unmanaged, and the farmers will inevitably slack off after a long time, which is really a trouble......
If Wang Kefan was intentional, if he was unintentionally tempted, Wang Min only felt a shortness of breath and a heartbeat.
Land, in this day and age, was the most important means of production, and there was no one. Except for the children of the broken households, few people are willing to sell their land. On the contrary, landlords will never think that they have too much land, and will still try to buy more land whenever they have the opportunity.
In order to seize dozens of acres of clan land, Wang Min did not hesitate to attack his cousin Wang Rui's family, but listening to the meaning of Wang Kefan's words, he didn't even want private land!
Wang Rui's family's private land has two or three hundred acres, most of which are on the haode paddy field, and suddenly throwing out such a big temptation, Wang Min couldn't help but be excited.
"What the virtuous nephew said is right, those farmers are lazy and cunning, and they do everything possible to deceive the master's family, so that a piece of high-quality good land will be destroyed into a thin field in their hands in two or three years, and they must not be left alone!" Wang Min pointed to a chair next to him and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, please sit down, if you can trust the uncle, let me help take care of these fields." β
At this time of the conversation, Wang Kefan had a seat, he sat down calmly, and said lightly: "Uncle is naturally trustworthy, but before my father clears his grievances, it is best to avoid suspicion and dare not bother your old man." β
The nails in the words were sharp and cold, Wang Min touched a solid knot, his rare old face turned red, he opened his mouth and was embarrassed, and he regretted it for a while.
I was in a hurry, and my eating appearance was too ugly!
Two or three hundred acres of haode paddy fields are worth thousands of taels of silver, and Xu Bingzhong is there, don't want to swallow it in vain, do you really think that the Chongyang County Order is not a decoration?
It's rare to find these good lands, it's a big deal to spend some silver and coax Wang Kefan to sell them to himself......
"Since the virtuous nephew insists on moving out of Hengshili, it is good that these fields are disposed of. In my opinion, regardless of the private land, it is all sold at a price. β
"Uncle is right, my father is in trouble, my mother and son are using the money, it is better to sell these fields, but I am worried that I will not be able to sell the price and receive cash."
"With my uncle here, how can I make you suffer? In this way, as long as your family's land and property are sold to the clan, the uncle will be a guarantor and ensure that you are not short of cash and silver......"
β¦β¦
Wang Kefan said goodbye and left for a long time, but Wang Min was still so excited that he couldn't help himself.
The preliminary purchase intention has been reached, Huguang is now high in the price of land, and there is no place to buy it with silver, but Wang Kefan's family has about 300 acres of land, there are few dry fields, and there are many paddy fields, and the initial price is not expensive, it is simply a big bargain falling from the sky.
The acres of land are the foundation of farming and family heirlooms, how can they be easily sold? Wang Kefan, a loser, sold his land in order to fight for his breath, and he was really distressed when he sold his field. Even if Wang Rui didn't die under Li Chuang's hands, he would have to be angry with his son to death!
Wang Min is confident that he has seen through Wang Kefan - he is a little smart, but he is young and vigorous, and he is not familiar with the world, and he will inevitably run into walls everywhere in the future.
Such a loser doesn't cheat for nothing, and if he doesn't cheat, it will only cheapen outsiders! In this case, it is better to let your uncle take a good shot!
The only thing that made him feel unhappy was that he thought that Wang Kefan was young and young, had no knowledge, and would give in if he was just scared twice, but he actually moved out of the county order Xu Bingzhong, and there were twists and turns out of thin air.
