Chapter 7: The Bastard Who Took Advantage of the Fire

I don't know if Wang Fulin's words are not good, or if he really realized that it was a little unsafe to run alone to swim in the wilderness, and for the next few days, Wang Fulin did not see this young man who knew him again, and he did not know other people.

He didn't pay too much attention to it, and after returning home from morning exercise as usual that day, he found that there were two more uninvited guests at the door. In the yard, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were rushing to feed a few chickens as if they were playing, and these two ragged people stood outside the door separated by a wall, but they didn't dare to go in rashly, until they found out that Wang Fulin was coming, and then they showed a hint of surprise on their faces and hurriedly greeted them.

You know me again, I don't know you!

Seeing that these two people had not been seen in the village for several mornings, Wang Fulin only felt a little pain in his head, and had to pretend to bow his head politely slightly, which was regarded as a return gift, and he didn't dare to beat casually when he greeted him. But as soon as the two of them met, they knelt down and kowtowed, and called a little official. At this time, Wang Erniang inside heard the movement outside, and went straight out with a pot of food for the chickens.

"Okay, I'll ignore you, but you will directly entangle my brother! Who said just now that the petty official was about to lose his fame, so he should be benevolent and reduce the land rent, and now he still has the face to entangle him? ”

Wang Erniang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and when she saw that the two of them were kneeling there and couldn't get up, she casually put the food bowl at her feet, and then stepped forward and shouted: "Mother has always not been considerate of you enough? The rent for a year is not collected at 60% of the full amount, and the family does not want you to come and work all day and night, at most occasionally call you, but what about you? I followed my brother to Huizhou City before, but because of his words, I left my master and came back by myself, how can I be a tenant like this! ”

Thanks to the pungent Wang Erniang, I finally know the identities of these people, it turns out that this is the legendary tenant of the Wang family!

Wang Fulin looked at these people, and saw that they were scolded by Wang Erniang, and he bowed his head and couldn't make a sound, he didn't open his mouth to meddle in his mind because he didn't have the right to speak if he didn't understand the situation. What's more, Wang Erniang had just said that these two tenants even came up with the reason that he was about to lose his fame, which can be seen in the thickness of his temperament.

Even these guys want to take advantage of the fire!

Sure enough, Wang Erniang didn't mean to stop at all, and pointed to the nose of one of the middle-aged men and scolded: "Do you have a face to come to the door?" I know that gambling, the family's fields have been sold, the children left by the ex-wife have all died and sold them to make cattle and horses, and I owe a lot of debts to come to the door to plead, my mother took you in, so that you have a tile on your head to live on, and married a daughter-in-law, but what about you, what have you done? ”

"Gambling on the grain that should be paid for rent! If it weren't for the fact that you would be able to do a good farm job, who would want you to be a bad gambler! ”

Wang Erniang is qualified to be the daughter of this middle-aged tenant at her age, and at this time she scolded her with her head and face, but the other party didn't have any temper at all, but she just nodded and didn't dare to speak on her stomach. The other person seemed to know that the second mother of the master's family was not easy to provoke, and when he saw that Wang Fulin was still standing aside, he hurriedly turned around to find the next breakthrough.

"Petty Officials ......"

"I don't understand the things on the fields at home, what Erniang says is what it is." Wang Fulin didn't give them a chance to entangle at all, and directly kicked the ball back to Wang Erniang.

Sure enough, Wang Erniang smiled because of her brother's trust, and then she became even more angry.

Wang Fulin listened to her tone inside, and he was able to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the two of them, and others didn't even want to interject into half of their mouths. In the end, the two tenants who came early in the morning to block the door could not even say what they wanted to plead, how they came, how they left. And when Wang Erniang entered the door in a particularly angry manner, he asked, "What are they doing here?" ”

"It's not about relieving the rent arrears from the past! Living in our house, buried in our family's land in the future, the rent set by my mother is also the lowest in the village, only sixty percent of other families, but they have to come to the door again and again to grind and soak! Those who don't know think that they are really having a hard time, and one is a bad gambler; A woman who is already poor but is still hooking up with a woman outside, has been beaten to the house several times! In the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and it is not a famine, who does not reduce the rent of our families with many fields in Songming Mountain Village during the famine? There are three tenants in our family, and there is only one reliable one, and my mother is too kind to them! ”

"It's all delicious and lazy things, why should the second aunt be angry for them! Besides, if you scold them at this time, and when you can use them in turn, wouldn't it be even more angry if they passed the buck? ”

Before Wang Fulin could speak, such a voice suddenly came from outside, followed by someone who came uninvited, and entered the gate like this, it was Jinbao's brother Wang Qiu.

Wang Qiu didn't have the consciousness of an uninvited guest at all, saluted with a smile, and called Uncle at Wang Fulin again. Seeing that Wang Fulin or Wang Erniang was all frowning and unhappy when he entered the courtyard, as if he might issue an eviction order anytime and anywhere, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, I know that you are recuperating from your injuries, and you don't dare to disturb without anything." It is said that there is a lot of noise in the county yahu's house, and some people say that they should re-screen the households and elect the real upper household to be the grain chief. ”

Just like those tenants came to the door before, and Wang Fulin handed it over to Wang Erniang, who was familiar with the situation, to deal with it, he didn't know much about the name of the grain chief and household at the moment, so he simply remained silent. Seeing that Wang Erniang's brows were slightly furrowed, but there were some uncertain doubts in his eyes, he suddenly realized that Wang Erniang, who was waiting for the boudoir, was obviously not clear about this kind of grain chief!

Thinking about it, being able to manage tenants can also be explained by following my mother in the past, but even the Wu family himself may not know about this kind of errand as a grain chief!

Wang Qiu has been quietly observing the reactions of the two brothers and sisters, seeing their expressions, he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately continued: "Now it is different from the beginning of the country, at the beginning of the country, we have a total of fifteen grain districts in She County, eleven miles in each district, and the big grain chiefs are father and son successively, brothers attack each other, we only need to listen to the big grain chief in Qianqiu." But now no one in a large household is willing to be a big grain chief, so he has to send a small grain chief every mile, and there are two households to help him. It's not that I'm alarmist, our village has nine Wang out of ten, and there are hundreds of acres of fertile land, and there are a few in total. Among them, the more than 100 acres of land in my uncle's house is the first one. ”

Hearing this, Wang Fulin felt that there were 10,000 divine beasts trampled by. Although he hadn't been to those rich and noble families with picturesque gardens and cloudy houses these days, he could see that they were hundreds of times richer than his own, and even the patriarch's family was much more prosperous! Moreover, he is a student and a talent, isn't he exempt from servitude if he has merit and fame these years? Who the chief of grain is, what does it matter to him!

Wang Qiu seemed to see through Wang Fulin's thoughts, and added another fire: "Uncle is probably thinking, Mr. Nanming and other uncles and ancestors have a great business, how can it not be your turn." But my uncle used to be studying, and some things were not clear. Like his uncle's family, his uncle and grandfather sold salt in Huguang, Mr. Nanming's brothers and even elders, and many of them were salt merchants in Lianghuai, and the family's family background was in the salt industry, not in the fields, even if there was land, they were all in Lianghuai and even Jiangnan, and there was very little land in Huizhou Mansion, so of course it was not their turn. And although my uncle has now entered school and become a student, isn't there a lot of gossip outside? ”

Wang Erniang was furious: "Wang Qiu, what do you mean by this?" ”

piercing the layer of window paper where Wang Fulin's fame was in jeopardy, Wang Qiu hurriedly apologized again and again just to increase his persuasiveness, and then said in a low voice: "I didn't mean that." I mean, even if my uncle is a member of the army, he can be exempted from servitude, but according to the old rules, he is exempt from miscellaneous service, but he is not exempt from regular service. ”

Although he still seems to understand whether he understands or not, he doesn't know how to pretend to understand this kind of thing, and he thinks that Wang Fulin was perfect when he mixed school and society, how could he show cowardice in front of Wang Qiu at this moment? So, he simply asked quietly, "So, what good idea do you have?" ”

Wang Qiu was waiting for this sentence! He tried his best to suppress his joy, and then said mysteriously: "Don't hide it from my uncle, I stayed in Huizhou City a few days ago, and I happened to have a good relationship with the household secretary Liu, and promised to make up a book for me. So, I learned a lot from him. Historically, as long as the meritorious name is obtained and the servitude is exempted, someone in the clan must send the field to attach to the name, which is called contribution, in order to be able to exempt from taxation, so such as the uncle, and even the promotion of people, most of them have more and more land, but there are exceptions. ”

He paused slightly, and said meaningfully: "That is, in order not to be classified as a superior household, pay less taxes, and at the same time avoid being sent to the chief of grain and bankrupt the family, so I put the land under my name in the place of relatives and friends, and turn the large household into a medium household, or even a small household." It's called a sprinkling! ”

The drama is finally here!

Wang Fulin only understood a small part of the grudge of the grain chief, but he understood Wang Qiu's intentions. Sure enough, Wang Qiuhua said all the clever words next, which was nothing more than to persuade him to send the more than 100 acres of land in his family's name to the tenants and relatives and friends. The tenant is because he has no household registration after selling himself, so he doesn't have to worry about them taking away the property, as for the place to send to relatives and friends, he recommended himself, and finally said with a salivating face: "Uncle is now a living member, and he can be exempted from two ding of miscellaneous labor outside of himself, and one ding outside of his uncle, if he can pull me, I will definitely do my best to do this thing, and I won't let my uncle worry about it!" ”

Bastard, I can't do it when I'm a three-year-old!

Wang Fulin narrowed his eyes, suddenly yawned, and said lazily: "Since the time for the grain chief has not yet arrived, there is no hurry, and it is not too late to decide when my father and mother come back." I still have to study behind closed doors, I won't keep you, second sister, prepare to close the door. ”

Wang Qiu's words just now, Wang Erniang also heard it in a fog, and when her brother spoke, she immediately agreed, and immediately said to Wang Qiu: "My brother said, let's discuss it later, you go back first!" ”

Wang Qiudeng's face stiffened, and he wanted to continue lobbying, but when he saw Wang Fulin stretching his waist and walking in, even if he was unwilling, he could only return helplessly. When he stepped over the threshold, the two doors behind him were tightly closed, he glanced back at the half-new mansion and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Wang Fulin, what are you better than me? Give you a shameless face, the crime of buying a nephew as a slave has been opened, you wait and see!

Inside the door, Wang Fulin instructed Wang Qi to be careful about the door, and immediately called Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei to the front, and whispered: "In the future, if I go out, you will close the door, no matter Wang Qiu or those tenants, they are all blocked from the door, and none of them are allowed to come in." ”

Wang Erniang didn't care about Wang Qiu, but she didn't dare to let go of the tenants, and immediately defended: "Brother, when my mother is here, I also have common ...... of those tenants."

"It's not negotiable! Especially that rotten gambler, I'm afraid that people and dogs will jump off the wall! As for that Wang Qiu, ignore him first! ”

Wang Fulin interrupted his sister without saying anything, seeing that he was unimpressed at first, and then under his own gaze, he had to agree, so he curled his fingers and calculated, and realized something.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since he woke up, and his own body has almost recovered, and the external fame turmoil has been gathering momentum for so long, even Wang Qiu dares to run in front of him to make up his mind, and it is estimated that he should soon enter a substantial climax. died early and was born early, and solved that ** annoyance, so that he could live a peaceful life!
