029 Liushui North Branch

For example, when a thief was found stealing something, he used a murder weapon in anger and was subdued by a righteous and brave person, but the latter entered the bureau for deliberately hurting people......

Zhao Xiang had an epiphany! It turns out that the two worlds are not different, and there will always be some unreasonable to almost absurd truths, but they are always taken out in a grand way to trick people, such as what Chen Xiucai said in front of him.

Zhao Xiang arched his hand, scared that Chen Chun was going to beat people in the future, for Zhao Xiang, who was tall and tall, Chen Xiucai was still very afraid of this possible physical conflict, and took four or five steps back.

Zhao Xiang smiled: "Why did Chen Xiucai run so far?" I just have a question I want to ask, I don't know who these villagers are going to sell the wood to? ”

Chen Chun said: "Of course, it is impossible to sell it to Kaiyuan Temple, and I am the only one who can buy this batch of wood, which not only picks up Mr. Zhao's charge of being rich and unkind, but also solves the dilemma of the villagers of Liushui Village. ”

Such shameless words, but Chen Chun said it righteously, and Zhao Xiang admired it in his heart. It's a pity that he found the wrong object, if he went to pit that group of monks, this person could definitely be a friend, but he actually ran to break ground on his head. However, since Chen Chun and the villagers of Liushui Village are just a simple interest relationship, this matter is much simpler.

Zhao Xiang ignored Chen Chun anymore, and turned to the villagers of Liushui, who were still standing on the pile of logs: "The villagers of Liushui Village should come over and discuss the matter of renting land and borrowing grain. ”

The villagers of Liushui Village were suspicious, and He Defang persuaded him: "Come down, Mr. Zhao said that he wants to discuss with you, how can you talk about things so far away, what is the use of so many of you deceiving you?" ”

The villagers of Liushui jumped down one after another.

Zhao Xiang asked: "You push a leader to come out and talk to me, don't say a word to one person, I can't deal with it with one mouth." ”

The villagers of Liushui pushed back and forth, and finally selected a middle-aged man, who was not tall, but also lean, looked very capable, and very importantly, he was the most unworn among the villagers of Liushui.

The middle-aged man came over: "Mr. Zhao, my name is Chen Hanlin." Regarding the matter of renting the land, the gentleman will say directly what the regulations are. ”

Zhao Xiang looked at Chen Hanlin and asked, "You are a carpenter, right?" ”

"My ancestors passed on some skills, and they also did some carpentry work to supplement the family when they were not working, how did Mr. Zhao know?"

Zhao Xiang smiled secretly, I don't know if it's strange, everyone is prying there with sticks, and you alone take an ink fountain to play the line on the wood, but you didn't answer, and asked: "So, you came up with the idea of grabbing the wood?" ”

Chen Hanlin thought for a while, nodded and responded: "Yes, I heard Xiucai say that the family is going to expand the backyard and can't find good wood, and he said that you have a lot of high-quality wood from Kaiyuan Temple here, so ......"

Zhao Xiang looked back at Chen Chun: "Chen Xiucai, it's quite a coincidence, I got these woods, and it just so happens that your house is about to expand." ”

Chen Chun smiled: "It's not, it's just such a coincidence." It's still a "I'm shameless" style.

Zhao Xiang said: "Chen Xiucai, there is nothing for you here, these woods can't reach your house, so don't join in the fun, hurry home." ”

Chen Chun said: "I, the villagers of Liushui, are here to discuss the matter of renting land with you, the villagers are pure and simple, and I, as the only talent in Liushui Village, help the staff and staff officers, so as not to be deceived by you, this is very reasonable, right?" ”

Well, this kind of person always likes to stand on the moral high ground, even if the dirty and dirty thoughts in his head have long been seen through, he still has to hold on.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him: "You can give them a staff officer, but no matter what you think, you have to remember one thing, this Uncle Hanlin is now the representative of the masses in Liushui Village who rents land from me, I only recognize him, not you, understand?" ”

Chen Chun simply didn't answer, and patted the folding fan in his hand to look at the top of the tree.

After picking Chen Chun out, Zhao Xiang officially entered the agenda and first understood the situation, the forty-five Liushui villagers here were all former tenant farmers, and they happened to belong to twenty households. From this point, it can be seen that Liushui Village is much larger than Wutian Village, at least the number of young and strong people is dominant, and these 20 households have a special identity: they are not the real aborigines of Liushui Village, and in the early years, they were outsiders who flowed into Zhangzhou from the north together with Wutian villagers, but they chose to join Liushui Village. Although they are all surnamed Chen, they are landless people in Liushui Village, so they can only rent land from Kaiyuan Temple.

This phenomenon still exists in modern rural areas, not to mention ancient times. The attached households are subsumed under the name of the attached clan in terms of clan relations, but there is no change in the land - unless everything is broken and redivided, they can only share as clansmen, but if the social environment does not change, they can only rely on individual struggle.

Twenty households are listed as a separate branch in Liushui Village, and they are directly recorded as "North Branch" on the clan tree, which is somewhat discriminatory.

People under the eaves can't say that anything is bad, at least they have their backs against the tree of Liutian Village, and they are at least somewhat relied on compared to the "floating guests" of the entire village of Wutian Village.

The twenty households in the north branch are the outliers of Liushui Village. This is the judgment made by Zhao Xiang after understanding the situation.

He was not hypocritical, and directly gave the land rental policy to Wutian Village to the North Branch.

As soon as they heard Yicheng's field rent, these villagers in the north branch of Liushui directly blew up, Yicheng? Did you hear it wrong?

Chen Hanlin asked: "Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about, is the output of the field as a field rent?" ”

Zhao Xiang nodded and pointed to He Defang on the side: "You can ask He Xianglao, is this the case." ”

He Xianglao naturally nodded: "Mr. Zhao is righteous, so he only collects one percent, and the borrowed grain does not count interest, and the amount borrowed is repaid, and the other ......" After speaking, he looked at Chen Xiucai on the side, and did not say any more. He wanted to talk about iron cattle and high-yielding rice seeds, but the stakes were so high that he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Chen Xiucai was also shocked in his heart, especially He Xianglao also left a section of his words, obviously there was something that could not be said in the back, so he simply stood cheekily.

If Chen Hanlin didn't get rid of Chen Xiucai at this time, it would be really stupid. I heard Chen Chun's instigation before, and gathered a crowd to grab wood. Chen Chun promised that as long as the timber was delivered to his house, he would rent the barren land to 20 households in the North Branch at the price of 60% of the land, and then return 10% after paying the rent. If he hadn't faced the dilemma of having no land to cultivate, he would not have agreed to this ridiculous proposal.

Chen Hanlin naturally understood Chen Chun's sinister intentions, now that he had even solved the problem of borrowing grain, what else was there to worry about, and walked out to Chen Chun: "Xiucai, since Mr. Zhao is willing to rent the land to us, we can't rob the timber, they are all good people, if there is no rations, who is willing to do that pickled thing, you just kindly stayed for us as a staff officer, I thank you here, now that we have said it, how about Xiucai go back with all the brothers of the same clan?" ”

Chen Chun really can't help it, he can stay here just now because the Liushui North Branch didn't express his position, and now everyone has come out to invite him to leave, and he can't keep it if he wants to, so he flicked his sleeves and said: "Hmph!" Han Lin, don't forget that your surname is Chen! ”

Chen Hanlin said with a smile: "That's natural, that's why I thank Xiucai for coming over to help the staff." ”

Chen Chun asked hatefully, "Don't use it now?!" ”

Chen Hanlin said: "No need, Xiucai, you go back first, it's really not very convenient for you to be an outsider here." ”
