Xu He's worries about the payment are real, but Lu Dingyuan has no such concerns. Of course, he knew that he couldn't make up a hundred taels of silver, and he knew that Xu Yuanzuo had already borrowed money for them.

Although you have to pay a lot of money, but the risk is borne by others, and you are just a trip, what else can you worry about?

Of course, Xu He didn't know.

Because Xu Yuanzuo didn't sue him.

Lu Dingyuan thought that Xu Yuanzuo must have told his father, where would he run to talk more?

Xu Yuanzuo really deliberately didn't say it.

He felt that those ignorant children in later generations who shouted all day long that "there is a kind of coldness is that your mother thinks you are cold", and he never planned to run in front of Xu He to be a "virgin". The best way to deal with this kind of person is to let him really know "cold", and then run to kneel and beg for clothes and bedding.

So Xu Yuanzuo should have no such thing, he should eat, drink, and recite in the room all day long. Mother Xu contributed to the family because of her eldest son, and this time for the New Year, she also made a lot of money, opened a big oil pot, and fried a lot of dim sum. They also used good glutinous rice flour to make sticky cakes and dumplings, which were opened for the three children to feast on.

Xu He didn't eat less, but after all, he had to mumble: "The coming year is just a few days." ”

At this time, Xu's mother will say: "When the time comes, see what is useless at home, just take it out and die." ”

The most useless thing in the family is Xu He, so in order to avoid a quarrel during the New Year, he obediently walked away.

Xu Liangzuo took more than 100 dollars from his brother and claimed the king and hegemony outside; Xu Wenjing took the ten taels of bonuses from Xu Yuanzuo, and had a promise not to tell others, and happily saved it as private money. Except for Xu He's long sigh, the whole family lived a happy New Year's life.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu He walked around the street, and everyone praised his eldest brother for his promising, listening to the anger. When he returned home, he saw that the local squire Zhu Dahu was leaving with his son.

That Zhu Dahu's eyes were on his forehead, and he only bowed to Xu He for half a salute, but Xu He was really startled.

On weekdays, this Zhu Dahu ignores him when he sees him, and treats him as nothing! I actually took the initiative to salute today, what happened to the hell?

Xu He and Zhu Dahu didn't have anything to say, they walked into the house quickly, and saw that Xu Yuanzuo was about to go upstairs, but there were four colored paper wrapped gifts on the table, and at a cursory glance, there were silk and rouge gouache.

"That Zhu Dahu has never had anything to do with my family, why did he give so many gifts today?" Xu He stopped Xu Yuanzuo and asked.

"He's the head of the Hechun Hall, of course he's coming to see me." Xu Yuanzuo said as a matter of course.

Xu He said "ha" and said, "What a big breath!" Do you know what Hechuntang does? ”

"I thought it was selling medicine, but I didn't expect it to be a church." Xu Yuanzuo did not hide it.

Just now, Zhu Dahu came over and reported to his home, Xu Yuanzuo did think that he was opening a pharmacy and medical hall. In his understanding, since Zhang Zhongjing, aren't all hospital pharmacies called so-and-so?

Who knew that this hall was the same as his mentor He Xinyin's "Cuihe Hall", which was a non-governmental autonomous organization.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a small country and knows the disadvantages of the local situation best. Among all the reasons for not being able to survive, the harassment of the servants was at the forefront.

This is because the bigwigs of the DPRK and China will certainly not kill chickens and take eggs on the issue of formulating national policies and taxation, but will leave enough means of life and production for the people, otherwise the people will rebel when they are hungry, and they will suffer the most.

And the local officials are all rats, with only an inch of light and no vision. Local officials are all outsiders, and they leave after the three-year examination, and they are more concerned about their own political performance. In this way, the officials forced each other, and the people lived in fire and water.

In view of this, the wise and great Hongwu Emperor set the rules and summarized them in one sentence, that is, the popular "imperial power does not go to the countryside"!

Since the emperor took the initiative to give up the construction of grassroots political power, and the county officials could not control the county seat, who would manage the larger towns and villages?

Here I have to introduce the social organization of the Ming Dynasty:

Households are the basic cells of Ming society. Each one hundred and ten households is divided into one li, and the ten households with the most grain are served as the chiefs, and the remaining 100 households are called the first head. The widows, widows, and lonely households who are unable to bear the burden of errand work in each mile are under the control of one hundred and ten households, and are called abnormal households.

The ten lieutenant chiefs take turns to serve in a cycle of ten years, and the order is pre-arranged according to the amount of grain, and every year a lieutenant chief leads ten first-class chiefs to serve on an errand, and is responsible for "managing the affairs of one mile".

There are ten households in the place, which is called "the whole map". If there are just less than ten households, or four or five, or five or six households, they are all half a map.

In the case of inconvenient transportation conditions, these township officials, who should report to the county order, rarely go into the city themselves. When the tax season came, the county officials came down to supervise the grain, and they helped to complete it; On weekdays, there is a small dispute between neighbors in the township, and it is fair to mediate it; Then there is a deed of sale and purchase that people should witness. In terms of simple social activities, it is indeed not necessary for the imperial power to go to the countryside.

With the development of society, people gradually found that some of their neighbors were more powerful than others. Or have a fame, or make a lot of money in business. There are also some lieutenants who have mastered public power and gradually learned how to oppress others.

So these people decided to choose another man who was not very strong to be the head of the lieutenant - if this position did not have the support of the powerful clan, not only would he have no power at all, but he would have to make up for it when he could not receive food. This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang let the person with more food be the chief at the beginning.

This kind of governor, who was almost forced to be the chief of the house, naturally could not control the others, so a new local self-government organization was formed among the gentry, the rich family, and the big landowners.

Originally, they were born for the benefit of the township, such as building a righteous warehouse together, or building a canal, or building a righteous school...... Because they are consciously obliged, the people naturally want to give them power, even though they already have power.

As a result, these people gradually formed congregations, formulated village rules and conventions, collected taxes, arranged miscellaneous labor, and responded to various demands of county officials. Given their status, the county officials did not dare to go too far.

This is the case with He Xinyin's Cuihetang, and it has also set up a communist farm within the radiation range, where every household communicates with each other, distributes according to needs, sets up checkpoints, violently resists taxes, and resists the government...... As a result, He Xinyin not only lost his identity as a lifter, but also became a wanted criminal of the Ming Dynasty.

In Juri, Hechundo is one such local self-governing organization.

It's just that because Hechun Tang is a group of local wealthy people who don't have a political status, they don't make all kinds of moths like Cuihetang, so that Xu Yuanzuo, a teenager who lives in the center of his influence, has never heard of its existence.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that everyone often uses "Zhu Dahu" to refer to Hechuntang, because Zhu Dahu's family is the real person who talks about Chuntang.

As for why Zhu Dahu's family is the majority shareholder of Hechuntang, you only need to look at the name of this place.

It is called Zhujia Village in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and it is called Zhujie Pavilion after entering the Ming Dynasty, also known as Zhuli and Zhuxi, and it will be called Zhujiajiao in the future...... has not left Zhu for generations, precisely because there are so many people surnamed Zhu here!

Although the Zhu family has never been a jinshi or a person, it can't stand the crowd and is a big clan, so Zhu Dahu also has the right to control one side after his career.

There is a poem in the book to prove this:

Zhu Li Supreme, big Zhu family.

Ordered Zhu Xi, don't dare to disobey.

If the Lu family doesn't come out, who will compete!

As for the Shen Xiang Lu family, people don't even care about the high-ranking officials of the ministry, will they still put a little Zhu Li in their eyes? It's nothing more than that when someone comes to collect donations, they casually scatter some silver taels, which is also considered to have fulfilled their social obligations. For the most part, their homes are closed and they live a hermit-like life.
