Chapter 18: Tang Xuan Gives Birth to a Capable Son (I)

"Although it is said that the Chen family's things are too unreasonable today, but I am indeed a little young and reckless", Tang Que did not let him sit after entering the room, and said directly, "On the way back, I also thought, whether it is because of today's water release or the previous Chen family furniture transfer stone, in fact, the root of the matter is still on that mu of paddy field, my father is now anxious to wait for the soup medicine money, and there is no industry at home, so he is thinking about selling this mu of paddy field, and after thinking about it, I think it is most suitable to sell it to Uncle Liu, I don't know if Uncle Liu can help my family save this emergency?" ”。

"The Chen family is the first to lose, you are young and reckless, listen to what you say", Liu Li, who was thinking in his heart, was as heavy as water, but after Tang Que said that he wanted to sell the paddy field to him, his dark and gloomy face finally changed. Why did he come to the Tang family to buy paddy fields some time ago, and why did he delay just now, wasn't it all for the paddy fields!

Although his identity is different now, after all, he is a farmer who grew up in the village, and his attitude and thoughts towards paddy fields are no different from those of other villagers.

People who have never planted land will never know the temptation of land to farmers, especially in the Tang Dynasty in an agricultural society, and land like paddy fields, "Tang nephew, what do you mean by this, you are your Uncle Liu is a villain who fell into the well......".

"I obviously asked Uncle Liu for your help, why did you get here", Tang Que's experience determines that he will not have any land complex, in fact, he had the intention to sell the paddy field when he understood this matter before, on the one hand, he certainly had the intention of causing less trouble for it; On the other hand, more importantly, because of the scarcity of local paddy fields, so its value is also greatly overestimated, the price of an acre of paddy field can buy five acres of sloping land, not counting the difference in the type of production of rice production area, in terms of grain output alone, the yield of five acres of sloping land is three and a half times that of an acre of paddy field, after settling this account, the acre of paddy field is really not as cost-effective as selling it for sloping land, especially if it is like the current situation of their own home.

Of course, he chose this point in time to say that this matter is not purely for the sake of food, and if today's matter is to be concluded successfully, it is impossible not to urge Liu Lizheng to contribute. An acre of paddy field can be exchanged for such an effect of killing two birds with one stone, why wouldn't he be happy?

Tang Que saw that Liu Li was hesitating and didn't speak, and after thinking about it, he thought about what he was thinking about, and he didn't wait for him to go around again, "If Uncle Liu can't believe me, I'll ask the village school to come over and make a death deed document?" ”。

The so-called death deed is a one-time sale, and it is a sales contract that cannot be redeemed again when there is money in the future. Liu Li was waiting for this sentence, and as soon as Tang Que finished speaking, the hesitation on his face naturally dissipated, "If the virtuous nephew says so, your Uncle Liu really can't help you, but this paddy field is different from ordinary fields after all, and your father ...... there."

"My father is injured like this, and as an only son, he should take responsibility for the family. Besides, I turned fifteen the year before last, and now I have made a contract to go to the yamen and count them."

As soon as this matter was finalized, the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, Liu Lizheng had an inexhaustible smile between his eyebrows, and his words were gentle, as if he was Tang Que's own uncle.

"There are a few things like this in that village every year for the water release and the land to fight, as long as there are no dead people, it's nothing, don't take this matter to heart today", Liu Lizheng looked disapproving, "It's not good to tear up the innocence of this decoction money, although it is the Chen family who provokes the trouble, but I saw it all just now, although your father was injured, but he fainted at that time, mainly to let the anger top." On the contrary, the Chen family was injured more and more seriously, after all, people use fists and feet, but you move an iron shovel. Okay, there are four men in the Chen family, except for Chen Laosan, all of whom have swollen legs as if they were blowing. If you don't hit other places and focus on your legs, everyone says that you are crazy, and in my opinion, you have calculated it a long time ago, right? This is not the time to open the sickle and harvest the wheat, that is, normal people have to be busy and crazy, and the four strong laborers of his Chen family were abolished by you at once, how much loss does this have? ”。

Regarding Liu Lizheng's statement, Tang Que just smiled but didn't say much, how to say this? It's not appropriate to say anything. "What about the rice in the paddy field? Uncle Liu, you have also seen it, this year's harvest is definitely in vain. Seeing that the paddy field should belong to you, Uncle Liu, you can't bear to let my family fall short in this last season, right? There is another one is what to do in the future, after this incident, my Tang family and his Chen family are considered to have a big feud, his family has three strong calves, my family can be a single seedling, what if the Chen family is injured and makes trouble again? You also have to have a charter for this Uncle Liu."

"How dare he? Okay, my eldest nephew, don't talk to Uncle Liu and me, just your performance in today's play, the Chen family has to weigh it if they want to stir up trouble again, you say that's it. Why fight today? Didn't he just want to get your acre of paddy field, and now that the paddy field is gone, he can provoke you, a two-pole bastard, just to be angry? Liu Lizheng was tired from standing, and sat down on the edge of the bed without waiting for Tang Querang, "As for the loss of that mu of paddy field, don't look for the Chen family, isn't this adding fuel to the fire!" Of course, your family is in a bad situation now, and you can't be wronged. Hey, for the stability of a village, uncle, I will pay for a loss, who made me this bloody bad luck Lizheng! ”。

Shaking his head and sighing, Liu Lizheng licked his lips and said: "That's it, your family will halve the rent of my fifteen acres of sloping land this year, and only collect two or five, this will be fine."

Tang Que smiled and watched Liu Li acting there, and waited until he finished his performance before he said leisurely: "It's nothing for the people in the countryside to fight privately, but his Chen family dares to move the boundary stone between the acres of land without permission!" This is a felony explicitly recorded in the "Tang Law". Uncle Liu, I'm not mistaken, right? In any agrarian society, land is the most important means of production, related to the livelihood of the people, social stability, so every dynasty has extremely strict laws and regulations related to land. It is indeed a felony to smuggle the boundary stones of the fields that the Chen family did.

"Of course, since it is Uncle Liu who is handling this matter, for the sake of Uncle Liu's face, my family will not make this matter again, so whether the Chen family will bear this charge or not is all up to you, Uncle Liu! Pinching this one, I think his Chen family shouldn't be so distressed about the paddy field anymore! That's one acre and seven points of land, how many meters can be produced in a year? ”。

The reason why Liu Lizheng's old slippery head promised to compensate for the loss was that the Chen family's one-acre seven-cent paddy field was plotted, of course, he also knew that the Chen family was reluctant, so he prepared both soft and hard hands, and the soft one was to make a look of standing on the side of the Chen family, saying that the Tang family had compensated for the decoction and was forced back by him; As for the hard hand to intimidate with a felony, it has already been revealed by Tang Que.

Liu Lizheng has taken advantage of the village for many years, most of which depends on the fact that the peasants do not understand the law, and they often get cheap and can sell well, but today this trick has hit a wall.

"Tang is an honest pimple, how could he give birth to such a capable son as you!" , It's all said about this, and it's boring to hide it anymore, Liu Lizheng, who stood up, waved his hand and said: "Count the ball, I don't want the two and a half points, your family's rent will be wiped out this year." If nothing else, I'm going to come to visit the injured Tang brothers."

Tang Que originally thought that it would be good to be able to lower the rent of another percent, but he didn't expect that Liu Lizheng's courage was not small, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, his Liu family didn't talk about paddy fields and an incense and candle shop in the city, there were more than 400 acres of sloping land alone, and he really didn't care about his family's rent.

But it's one thing for people to not care, but Tang Que can't help but appreciate it, "Then thank you Uncle Liu, another day when your wish comes true, you must prepare a generous gift to congratulate."

"What kind of congratulatory gift, it's not that the wool is out of the sheep, spend my own food to give your Tang family face, you kid don't get cheap and sell well, go, this is still the Chen family's mouth", Liu Lizheng said and walked out with a smile, and as soon as he opened the door curtain, he saw Tang Zhang's supporting a bruised man standing at the door, "Brother Tang, you are ......."
