Chinese say that they eat thin when they are free and dry when they are busy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThese days are the summer harvest season, and Jiang Mancang also sent a large bundle of wheat, which is cheap Li Gou's leftovers, and he has eaten steamed buns, pimple soup and dumplings for several days, and the days are called a pleasant.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was time to pay the rent, the imperial court collected the summer and autumn every year, and the landlord's family was the same, and when it came to the summer and autumn harvest season, this would urge the tenants to pay the rent.

Whenever the landlord rents the land to the tenants, he will bury the boundary stones, set up an account of the acre, which is signed and pledged by the tenants, and the rent is calculated according to the harvest and the acre account at the time of harvest every year, and this has been the case for generations.

Li's father is now pushing a wheelbarrow to pay the rent, and Li Gouyu is sitting on the car while swaying and nibbling on the white flour buns, humming a little song from time to time, shaking his head and shaking his head is very cute.

The car squeaked, and after a while, it arrived at Mr. Li's house, and a group of tenants lined up in a long queue this morning, and dozens of wheelbarrows lined up at the door of Mr. Li's house, the scene was spectacular.

Looking up, there is a huge signboard on the tall gatehouse - Li Mansion.

Different from the adobe house of the dog's leftover family, all the high-ranking families in the Ming Dynasty generally used blue bricks and ashlar to build houses, which is called "green brick meeting", which is the treatment of the landlord and the old wealth, just like the old man Li on the rich side in front of him.

All the tenants now look at Li Gouyu and praise a few words, young can carry Xiao Jiujiu, that has to be a prodigy, one by one to see the thumbs up, envy, I really can't wait to pinch the ears of their children and come over and say, look, this is Li Gouyu, this baby is smart, you have to learn from him in the future.

"Li Shishi, ten acres of wheat, one mu out of 200 catties, ten acres of two thousand catties, 70% of the rent, 1,400 catties of rent."

The Li family seems to have some guests coming today, the house is lively and lively as if they are setting up a banquet, Master Li is probably busy greeting guests, and he did not show up, it is Li Papi who has passed the scales and bookkeeping, this guy crackles and pulls the abacus for a while.

The grain output in the Ming Dynasty was not high, such as wheat, the yield of 200 catties per mu was already smooth, according to the mu account, Li Papi could easily calculate the approximate total output of grain, which deducted the tenant three-percent ration, and the rest belonged to Master Li.

A few family members said that they were carrying the grain over the scales, and Li Papi squinted his eyes and supervised on the side, glancing at Li Gouyu from time to time, a cold light.

"Hmph, stinky boy, what do you know about carrying Xiao Jiujiu's spirit? I want to see if you can pass the five-finger pass of our old Li Tou today! ”

Glancing at Li Gouyu, this kid had a simple expression that had not changed for thousands of years, and Li Papi said viciously in his heart.

A few days ago, Lao Tzu made such a big ugly, look at our old Li Tou today to make you look good!

I don't know what the hell idea is again, Li Peel's villain has a good will.

Li Gouyu on the side glanced at it obliquely, and couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, this guy, it looks like he's going to play some tricks today.

"Cheng, 1,400 catties, sign and draw it."

Everything seemed to be smooth sailing, the amount of grain was sufficient, and after the scales, Li Papi wrote down the number of catties of grain with a wave, and called Li's father to come over and sign the pledge.

Li's father couldn't read and write, so naturally he couldn't write his name, so he used to make a cross and put a handprint, which was the case for most of the tenants.

After Li pulled the abacus, he tapped his fingers on the table, just waiting for Li's father's handprint to press it, and today, the work is over.

"Stinky boy, what if you can carry Xiao Jiujiu? Hmph, we have inquired, you have not been educated, you must be as illiterate as your father, although we said that 1,400 catties of food, but how much did we pay, it is not our pen to say? Li Papi said viciously in his heart.

Mr. Li is careful, and he has to check the account book of the tenants' rent every year. Hmph, Master Li has collected the land for you, don't complain about our old Li Xinhei!

The more Li Papi thought about it, the more comfortable he felt, he made us ugly a few days ago, and today, we have to find a place again.

As he spoke, Li Papi handed the account book with 140 catties of rent to Li's father.

When Master Li checks the accounts in a few days, he will naturally find this flaw! should have paid 1,400 catties, but only 140 catties were actually paid!

If you Li Shi can't make up for the shortfall of 1,260 catties, you will have to sell yourself and return the land! Hmph, I'll take a look at what your Li family eats when the time comes! What to drink!

"Okay, okay, let's sign, let's sign."

Father Li nodded with a smile when he heard this, grabbed the ink and was about to press the handprint.

Father Li is blind and can't read, but he doesn't know if this finger is pressed down...... Then the family will be ruined!

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Li's mouth, and Li's father's fingers were about to be pressed!

"Wait!"

A young man's sharp voice came into everyone's ears, and the spirit of the tenants who had not yet left were also attracted by this side.

It was Li Gouyu who spoke.

"What's wrong? Dog leftovers. Father Li was puzzled, drew a cross, pressed a handprint, and handed over the grain, isn't the job over? What are you nervous about, son?

Li Gouyu glanced at the ledger and found the clue, and was furious: "Okay, you Li Peel, you actually bullied my father for not knowing how to read!" There is a scoundrel like you in the world! ”

Li Papi, who heard this, was shocked, but after all, it was an old Jianghu, and soon this returned to calm, and he had never heard that this Li Gou was left to learn, and he was illiterate, so he must be calling himself.

"What's wrong? If you rent the land of Master Li's house, you have to pay rent to Master Li, which is justified! You little, why are you running around again? ”

Thinking of this, Li Papi was shocked in his heart, so he straightened his waist and said.

"Justified? I received 1,400 catties of grain from my family, but I only recorded 140 catties in the account book! Let you, a beast with a human face and a beast's heart, get that 1,260 pounds of grain for nothing! And say that it's a natural thing to fuck? You wolf-hearted thing, deceiving my father is blind, your mind is so vicious! ”

Li Gouyu scolded.

When the tenants heard this, they were all shocked, what kind of trick did Li Papi play?

"You! You're squirting blood! ”

Li Papi, who was once again exposed to the trick, stood up suddenly, and his angry fingers trembled: "The sky is blue and the sky is white, don't spray people with blood!" ”

Although he said so, Li Papi had no confidence in his heart, Li Gou left this kid, could it be that he not only memorized Xiao Jiujiu, but also his mother's literacy!?

"You received 1,400 catties of grain from my family, but you wrote down 140 catties in black and white in the account book! What are you and what are you? Bullying my dad is blind, but I still have a man who can read and write! ”

Li Gouyu said this loudly, as soon as he heard this, everyone began to talk nonsense, Li Papi also used this method in the past, and the tenants could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and now Li Gouyu said a wave of thousands of waves: "Yes, last year I also remembered that the rent was paid enough, but later Master Li urged me to pay 200 catties, is it difficult to ......"

No matter how stupid Father Li is, he can hear the reason at this time, his angry body trembles, and he pointed at Li and said, "You wolf-hearted thing, you are so black-hearted!?" You are the key to this, my family is ruined, so I can't stop? ”

"Yes, Li Papi! Human faces and beast hearts, they all say that you must be honest and sincere, and you actually do such things that are not as good as pigs and dogs? Jiang Mancang also came out at this time.

Everyone was chattering there, and then a maid trotted over: "Everyone, don't quarrel, the master is here." ”
