Lu Fuzi just stared at Xu Yuanzuo, but he couldn't think of how to speak for a while.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled slightly, he already knew Lu Fuzi's thoughts, which obviously wanted him to take the initiative to speak.

"Master, but you want to ask about Youfu?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.

Lu Fuzi nodded imperceptibly, and was afraid that Xu Yuanzuo wouldn't be able to see it, so he said, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "Dare to ask Master, are there any relatives in the township?" ”

Lu Fuzi came to Zhuli from his father's generation, and at that time, the family still had land and cultivated for the villagers. Later, Lu Fuzi passed the small test and became a showman, but he failed to suppress the decline of the family road, and those fields were sold to relatives of the clan, except for the winter solstice to worship the ancestors, he did not go back.

"There are still relatives, but they don't have contact." Lu Fuzi said.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Not communicating does not mean that the friendship of relatives is gone." In this way, Master will allow me to prepare some texts, and when Master is free, we will go back to our hometown and spend half a day to get things done. ”

Lu Fuzi was still a little hesitant: "My family doesn't even have any land......"

"Master Lu only needs to take me back to the township." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile. His plan was very simple, taking advantage of the legal loopholes in the Ming Dynasty to sell Lu Fuzi's tax-free and exempt quota to the clan relatives in the township.

But these don't have to be broken by outsiders, otherwise Lu Fuzi can do it himself.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the grain tax has not been high, and what is really scary is the forced labor.

The conscription was divided into the main service of the Lijia and the miscellaneous errand service.

The main service of the Lijia is based on the grain households, etc., ten years and one week, taking turns, and cannot escape and escape.

Part of the scary part of conscription is the miscellaneous servitude.

Among the miscellaneous errand service, some of them are evenly served, which is similar to the regular service of Lijia. The other part is "miscellaneous", which is sent when there is something to do, and closed when there is nothing to do. However, since Zhengde, the court has been in constant trouble, and the local trivial matters are frequent, and the miscellaneous affairs of the people are naturally innumerable, and the pressure is great.

As for those who donate and send money, there are not many who really want to evade grain taxes, and the main thing is that they are fleeing from this "miscellaneous errand service". In the later period of Wanli, because there were many people who fled, all the miscellaneous fell on the people who did not flee, and this vicious circle forced the people to flee.

Although there is not such a huge pressure now, it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal to spend a tael of silver to keep you safe for a year.

At the end of September of the second year of Longqing, Xu Yuanzuo walked out of the small town of Zhuli for the first time, and saw patches of mulberry gardens and farmland along the way. He didn't get the slightest excitement, but repeatedly revised the speech in his abdomen, hoping to impress the villagers and make his first business a perfect ending.

When he arrived at Lu Fuzi's hometown, Xu Yuanzuo realized that he really thought too much.

Lu Fuzi found the patriarch of the Lu clan, talked about his friendship, and said that he wanted to resell the tax-free and exempt places. The patriarch who seemed to be so old and wilted that his eyes suddenly flashed, and he didn't think about gathering the clansmen at all, and directly took over the deal.

Lu Fuzi was slightly surprised, and said secretly in his heart: How could I not have thought of such a convenient transaction in the early years?

Xu Yuanzuo was worried in his heart, such a simple transaction can't reflect my value!

Human beings are so realistic that they have given a name specifically to something that has no value: garbage.

This thing does not refer specifically to things, but also to people.

"Sir, I have prepared the text, just ask the villager to be a me-a-me." Xu Yuanzuo stood up at the right time and held a stack of deeds.

To put it bluntly, this kind of buying and selling behavior is digging the corner of Emperor Zhu, and of course there can be no legal standard contract. In fact, the reason why the predecessors did not buy preferential exemptions from Xiucai was precisely because they were worried that Xiucai's status was not high and could not become the umbrella of this illegal behavior.

Xu Yuanzuo exploited the loophole in the laws and customs of the Ming Dynasty: adoption.

Daming is a society that values the rule of law and does not value blood, and the step-son is the same as his own son. Back then, Emperor Shizong Jiajing made a big ceremony, and to put it bluntly, he was arguing for a saying: whose son is he?

Xu Yuanzuo avoided the focus of interests, and directly started from the succession, and determined the rights and obligations of the stepson, such as still sacrificing in the family, still being the family's score, and having no inheritance right to the inheritance of Lu Fuzi's "father...... A legal state of "passing but not continuing" has been formed.

Lu Fuzi didn't read all of these articles, he just picked out the questions he was worried about and looked at them, and saw that Xu Yuanzuo arranged them very properly, so he didn't have the last worries.

The patriarch has many sons, but he doesn't care about one or two successives. He listened to Xu Yuanzuo's detailed introduction of the future state, and when he saw that it was clearly written in black and white, his heart was also stable, so he immediately called a son out and told him about it.

The Lu family is in his forties, and he is also walking around on weekdays, and many neighbors have collected silk and woven cloth, and they have entrusted him to sell it. One is that he is honest, and the other is that he is well-informed and will not be deceived.

So after hearing about it, this person knew that this matter was feasible, and immediately kowtowed to Master Lu and called his father, but he still called his biological father father, and he didn't need to change his words.

After sitting for a while, the villager came.

Lu Fuzi and the patriarch only talked about the succession, and did not talk about anything else. The villager didn't ask much, but when Lu Fuzi couldn't give birth to his son Cheng's incense, he happily signed and sealed as a Zhongjian person. After completing the formalities, he took his Xie Yi and left.

Xu Yuanzuo sighed in his heart, even bargaining is so refreshing in this era, it is really an era when capitalism spits out the bud!

After all the paperwork is signed, procedurally speaking, it is still necessary to go to the yamen for the record, but this matter can be handled by Lu Fuzi, and Xu Yuanzuo does not need to contribute. He is also a student anyway, and he can not worship when he sees the county official, and the post says "governing students", which belongs to the privileged class.

On the way back, Lu Fuzi was in a good mood, and this trip opened a fixed source of money for himself every year. Although the preferential exemption of the second Ishida rent is a favor, the exemption money alone is one or two pieces of silver.

"Tomorrow, you can't do anything if you don't have a reputation." Lu Fuzi is in a good mood, so he is naturally willing to bring his juniors. Although he didn't think that Xu Yuanzuo had made a great contribution, and he didn't mean to pay for his labor, he always had a sense of indebtedness, so the "priceless" thing that people had experienced in the past was just used to repay the favor.

"When my younger brother is a student in the future, and the family is more comfortable, the students will naturally have to work hard to go to school." Xu Yuanzuo also knew that he couldn't interfere in the next work, purely because his identity was not enough.

The simplest one: The old student Lu Fuzi can submit a post to the county government at any time, can he do it?

"No matter how hard you work at home, you should study." Lu Fuzi said: "I think of the former Song Ouyang Wenzhonggong, four years old and lonely, the family is poor and has no capital, so he can only study day and night, and forget to sleep and eat...... Your family can still afford to talk about it. ”

Xu Yuanzuo admitted that what Lu Fuzi said was very reasonable, compared with many predecessors in history, his family background is actually quite good. However, the old students forgot one thing, Mr. Ouyang Xiu can never forget it, it is the standard liberal arts talent.

Now that my talent is in mathematics, can I compare it?

In addition, most of the candidates with their new brains will need one to two years to familiarize themselves with the textbooks and master the test center. Is it a mix of things at home for a year or two? Although there is no situation at home where the pot cannot be opened, as a mature soul, how can he do this kind of gnawing at the old with peace of mind?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he had to take the exam with all his might, Xu Yuanzuo didn't think that Lu Fuzi was a reliable teacher. The children's test depends on the county officials, and if it is not a superman of learning, then face is the focus.

Xu Yuanzuo wants to be born without background, if he wants to be educated or not educated, if the teacher has no face, why should the county officials point to him from two or three thousand candidates?

Considering the above factors realistically, Xu Yuanzuo still firmly believes that he will work first to make a living, and then think about fame after having a good material foundation. And this is also the only way to maximize the advantages of their vision, the township school and the home are two points and one line, the pattern is too small.

But for now, let's get the payment first.
