Chapter 09: Relatives
With the completion of the collection of family members, daily trivial matters have also come to the door.
Today, there are a few clansmen of the so-called lawsuit.
Although they are all trivial matters, they also take time to pass, so Zheng Long wants to find someone else to deal with it on his behalf.
The so-called trustworthy is none other than my uncle.
Zheng Long called a farmer and went to his maternal uncle Zhang Gui to deal with it.
Zhang Gui originally had a round face, but he was malnourished and became a thin face. The eyebrows are neither thick nor light, and the eyes are soft. Realized the character of Zheng Long's mother, and her heart was kind.
Deal with trivial matters, even if you don't handle it well, both sides can accept it because of Zhang Gui's kindness.
Although my uncle's family was so poor that he was fighting ghosts, my uncle always had to save some rice from between his teeth to keep Xiao Yu'er full. Ignoring the little name Niuniu's cousin Zhang Rui is also a little devil star, and he wants to eat meat every day.
Zheng Long called his uncle and asked him to help deal with trivial disputes. He gave his uncle three taels of silver a month.
Moreover, Zheng Long was also grateful to his uncle in his heart, so he said that in addition to the monthly salary, he would also reward Zhang Gui with one hundred taels of gold. Anyway, I won't let my loved ones live aggrieved.
Zhang Gui is a kind-hearted farmer, where he dares to take a hundred taels of gold from his nephew? Kill or die.
So, Zheng Long gave his uncle three taels of silver, which was regarded as a month's salary first.
Zhang Gui walked out of the council hall and glanced at the sunset.
What a beautiful sunset.
He clutched the first month's civilian salary advance in his palm, three taels of silver.
A few days ago, Zhang Gui didn't have any rice to cook, if his sister was here, it would be natural to ask his brother-in-law's house to borrow some rice, but his sister and brother-in-law have been gone for three years. In the past three years, he has rarely moved around his nephew and niece's house, and every time he goes to Zheng's house, he doesn't give some rice and grain to his niece and nephew, Zhang Gui feels flustered, and naturally moves around less.
In Zhang Gui's opinion after the change of focus, Zheng Yaojie is the kind of woman born to her brother-in-law, which is worse than an ordinary concubine, and has nothing to do with herself, only Zheng Long and Zheng Qiuyu are the flesh and blood of her sister.
Now, when I want to borrow my nephew's money, I really can't wipe my face.
I borrowed money from my two sisters and brothers-in-law, but my family was poorer than my own family, and they often relied on credit to eat, so how could they take out rice and grain?
I also blame myself, I don't have to worry about serving the crops, one acre of land, there are two buckets less than the neighbor's house, and this day is sad.
Fortunately, although the nephew did not say it, he also knew the difficulties of his uncle's family, so he arranged the so-called clerk position.
Clerk, clerical, helps nephew with trivial things. Like Zhou Aniu's hen flew to Zheng Sigou's chicken coop and laid a nest of eggs, which family should this egg belong to? Is this egg laid by Zhou Aniu's hen? There is not a mark, no one can say for sure, and no one can say it.
It's these trivial things, if there is no clan elder to scold them, it is not new to make more than ten generations of villagers turn their faces.
Therefore, Zheng Long directly arranged the so-called clerks to deal with these things.
Clerks don't need to be shrewd, they just need to follow the rules. The so-called handling according to the rules, at this time, that is, Zheng Long made a decision.
As long as Zheng Long has dealt with more things and formed rules, in the future, he will do it according to the rules.
The silver bar in Zhang Gui's hand was engraved with the name of the craftsman, and there was an unknown text of 37.5 grams, but one or two, Zhang Gui understood. And, in terms of weight, it's definitely one or two.
One or two small silver bars, there are three in the palm of your hand.
This is hope!
Three taels of silver, the best year of the ordinary harvest, those who can see the silver dust, and the villagers, all use copper coins.
Since Hongwu Tongbao, Yongle, Xuande, Hongzhi, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Changchang, Tianqi, Chongzhen Tongbao have been cast.
In recent years, it is common on the market to be Chongzhen Tongbao.
Chongzhen Tongbao was minted in the first year of Chongzhen, and it was the most miscellaneous and most varied currency of the Ming generation. Copper-colored mixed, common yellow, red, white. Generally, the irrigation I county at the moment is a small flat diameter of 2.5 cm, folded two diameters of 2.8 cm, folded five diameters of 3.4 cm, folded ten diameters of 4.4 cm, weighing 28 grams.
Although I don't know how many grams are, I really don't know that the Chongzhen Tongbao copper coin weighs twenty-eight grams, but one or two silver is heavier than Chongzhen Tongbao is three into five.
This small silver bar, in any case, is much heavier than Chongzhen Tongbao, that is, it is definitely a full one or two lines of silver.
The closest is the maternal uncle, so the opposite, the closest is the nephew.
This warm current in Zhang Gui's heart has flowed thousands of times.
With these three taels of silver, tomorrow, I will go to Guankou County early in the morning, pull four feet of cloth, buy two catties of meat, and buy another stone of rice, and a family of three will be able to pass the salary next month.
On this day, how can it be beautiful in the blink of an eye?
By the way, I don't have a son yet, it seems that I have to do more homework at home, but I can't let the Zhang family die. The Zhang family can't fall!
Zheng Long's two aunts also brought their cousins and cousins to Zheng Long and asked them to arrange some work.
Zheng Long said to think about it, now, the little cousin Niuniu can play with her sister, they are too young, there is no need to enter the children's school at this time, but the two little cousins are already seven or eight years old, and it is time to enter the Mongolian school.
Well, enlightenment education, literacy education, it is never too late, and it cannot be lacking at any time.
Zheng Long decided to send someone to the county seat to see if there was anyone to recommend the county counselor.
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, Guan County produced five Jinshi, and both of them were surnamed Zhou.
Zhou Chongyi was a scholar in the third year of Zhengde (1508 AD), and a military member of the Thousand Households Institute of Guan County.
He was also the big landlord of most of the original more than 5,000 acres of land.
It's just that after Zheng Long's arrival, after the time and space mark of the demon, it turned into a clear stream. More than 5,000 acres of land have become Zheng Long's family property.
The most recent one, also the Zhou family, Zhou Gongxian, is a member of the Wanli Bingxu (1586 AD) Kejinshi, and is a celebrity of the Zhou family branch who lived separately to the second class of the raft village.
The two Zhou Gongxing famous teachers and education have benefited a group of people.
However, no matter how pure and good it is, the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, you all know it. The land that was donated to them was more than 3,000 acres, and in addition to the forcible seizure of the past dynasties, Zhengjia Village and the nearby 5,600 acres of fertile land were in their hands.
The Zhou family in Zhengjia Village is their side branch relative, and the Zhou family leases the land for two weeks and subleases it to the Zheng family and the Zhang family, and the Zhou family is the second landlord. Therefore, speaking of Erzhou, he is also a distant relative of the Zheng family, but now, Erzhou has been directly changed his memory and title deed, and the two landlords of the Zhou family in Zhengjia Village have been changed into ordinary farmers by Zheng Longmo.
The Zhou family in Guan I County should cry. It's just that their memory has changed, thinking that Erzhou is a Qingliu celebrity, so poor that they fight ghosts, and they rely on the help of the Zhou family in Guan I County to have a beautiful burial. I don't know that they are the second landlord, and the second week is the landlord.
Now, although the Zhou family lives in a brick house, and their food and clothing are obviously much better than the Zheng family and the Zhang family, in the eyes of the Zhou family in Zhengjia Village, this is all because they are in the grain business. At least, the Zhou family's original grain store and oil store are still open in the county.
Of course, the wealthy children of the Zhou family are really not too keen to be a family member under Zheng Long.
However, the emperor has three poor relatives, and the concubines of the Zhou family also like to run to Zheng Long to be a family.
For Zheng Zhang's Wednesday surname, as long as he is not physically disabled and not particularly thin, Zheng Long will be preferentially hired. After all, one is the father's family, the other is the mother's family, and the other is the grandmother's family, all of which are not outsiders.
