Chapter 52: Fight with Me?
By the time Liu Ming's inscription was completed, Liu Yue was already impatient, and after stepping forward to salute the town official, he said after saluting Liu Zhao: "The patriarch is co-opted today, and it just so happens that my nephew Liu Ming has already performed the gift of a weak crown!" I think it's time to start! ”
"What's the hurry! I made a letter with my son, how can I not teach me the rules of the Liu family? Do you want to wait and let him collide with you, Sanc, do you have a bright face? ”
Liu Zhao snorted coldly, took out the book of Liujia Village's clan rules from his arms and handed it to Liu Ming: "This is the rule that you must abide by as a patriarch!" I hope you can take a good look at it! ”
I didn't expect my father Liu Zhao to do this! Liu Ming was also helpless, and took over the book of Liu Family Rules, but it was a little yellowed!
The printing time is the third year of Taiping Xingguo, Bianliang Yishi Bookstore!
It seems that the clansmen have been beautiful before!
Bianliang, an international metropolis, can go to print the family rules, which can be seen!
Liu Ming turned the first page, and wrote a sentence from the ancestor on it: The world has been suffering for a long time! If you are not a sage, you must not be exposed! Liu's is the secret of the Han Dynasty! Don't let it be known to outsiders!
Listen to the speeches lightly, know the inhuman complaints, and think patiently; Fight over things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I don't know what I'm not, I need to think calmly.
Looking at the content of the first article, Liu Ming has been deeply impressed by the grand thoughts of the ancestors! It's a great way to put yourself in your shoes!
Before he could read the second one, the town official was a little anxious, and walked up to Liu Zhao and hugged his fists and said, "Patriarch Liu, do you want to start the co-optation ceremony?" If not, let's do it another day! I'm going to the East Temple to preside over the sacrificial ceremony! ”
As a grassroots organization of the official faction, the town officials were mixed in the rural elite circle all the year round, and the rural elite was composed of the landlord class, the squire and the monks, forming the foundation of the Song Dynasty in the countryside!
Because of the limited national strength, it was difficult to do power to the countryside in ancient times. That's why! But it doesn't mean that this statement really means that the state has given up its jurisdiction over the village level, and if it really gives up, it will not be a cause for chaos!
The Townsman is nothing more than a garrison stationed here, mainly responsible for apprehending thieves and controlling illegal activities such as fire bans and the prohibition of the sale of illicit liquor!
This is equivalent to the infiltration of the lower classes of the Song Kingdom, and it is more powerful to control rural culture!
"Don't panic, town officials, I'll announce the start of the co-optation election!"
Liu Zhao was a little anxious when he saw that the town official wanted to leave, and he didn't know how many Liu Ming had read!
"Today is the period for the new patriarch to be elected within the Liujia Village clan, and according to the usual practice, I should read out the merits and demerits of the new patriarch in public, and then the clansmen will evaluate them! But at this moment, something has changed, and two pseudo-patriarchs have been born, and I hope that all of you in the clan will consider it carefully!"
Liu Zhao naturally didn't need to read out the merits and demerits of the patriarch, because Liu Yue's strong competition made him have to make adjustments!
"My Liu Yue in Liujia Village is probably known to everyone, there is a town official sitting in Liujia Village, don't be afraid! Just do what you think! Before I do that, I would like to say one thing first: if I become the patriarch of this clan, I will adjust the rent of next year's land to be halved! ”
Liu Yue can be regarded as a bloody investment, the people at the north gate were originally angry with Liu Yue, but now they hear that the land rent has been halved, which is a real income! Although so far it seems that it is just a pie!
"Sanc, don't be a fool! Are you telling the truth? ”
An old woman wearing linen clothes held a child in her arms and questioned Liu Yue's statement!
"Third aunt, don't worry, I, Liu Yue, have always done the same! If you don't believe me, how about booking on the spot? ”
"Well, if you really make a contract, we can support you!"
The people at the north gate were relieved when they heard Liu Yue's words! This time, looking at the situation, it seems that it has been very unfavorable to Liu Ming's side!
There are also some people in the south gate who rent Liu Yue's land, although there has been a fight, but it does not affect their qualifications to become tenant farmers!
In the township, because in the Song Dynasty, the population could move freely, and in terms of personality, tenants, tenant farmers and landlords were equal! The only inequality is in the means of production!
This bait is very eye-catching!
Almost everyone already thinks it's a sure thing!
Even Liu Yue wanted to give an acceptance speech in public!
"Brother! I believe you! ”
Liu Biao, who was standing on the side, clenched his fists, although he was a scholar, he still couldn't get used to Liu Yue's appearance as a countryman!
"Hehe, Liu Yue! Have you forgotten that Venerable Fuhu didn't speak, and you already thought you were the patriarch? ”
Liu Zhao looked at Liu Yue with a smile and caring eyes!
The town official looked at everyone and smiled: "The eldest son of the head of the Liu family hasn't spoken yet, so let's restrain it for the time being!" Wait for him to finish before making a decision! ”
I can hear that this town official had a good relationship with Liu Zhao before, and he protected Liu Zhao's side almost everywhere!
"What else is there to say! Just let Liu Yue be the patriarch! ”
"Third aunt, you can't say that!"
Seeing the old woman chattering, Liu Zhao was also sweating, and this old woman was very good at talking in the village!
Liu Ming finished reading the three articles and didn't continue to read them, because the situation seemed to have exceeded expectations!
The town official looked at Liu Ming's smiling face and asked, "Does Fu Hu have something to say?" ”
As soon as Liu Ming was identified as Fuhu, this guy called him by his name!
Although Liu Ming knew that he was calling himself, he still felt awkwardly panicked!
"First, I will be the patriarch, and I will first release the one hundred and fifty-four people who were imprisoned at the North Gate for free!"
If you want to make trouble, Liu Yue, Lao Tzu will accompany you, Liu Ming smiled and looked at Liu Yue's uncertain face!
"Second, expel Liu Yue from the Liu family! From now on, all walks of life! ”
Hearing the first one, everyone still didn't know what Liu Ming wanted to say, but when they heard the second one, they were completely shocked! What is it called? Expulsion from the family?
If it is true, Liu Yue's family will be completely unable to mix in this township! There is no shame to mix!
"You.... You..... Why do you want to expel me? How can you do it! As a patriarch, you can't expel your clansmen at will, unless you're a thief! ”
Liu Yueqi's face turned blue, and he pointed at Liu Ming, who was smiling, and snorted coldly!
"Hehe, third uncle, has you recognized my position as the patriarch?"
Everyone could hear Liu Yue's speech, and they couldn't help but want to laugh a little!
"It's almost impossible, if you want me to admit it!"
"You don't admit that I'm still the patriarch! You don't have to admit it! ”
"Then it's up to us to see who wins the support of the clansmen! Are you done talking? The town official is going to read and support! ”
Liu Ming smiled and shook his head: "Third uncle, don't be impatient!" I have something to say! ”
For this grinding Liu Ming, Liu Yue hated it so much that the root of his teeth itched!
