Section 46 Rent Collection by the Landlord's Family (3)
With the heroic mentality of dying in Yunjia Zhuangzi, the young Yushi Huang Yu sent his name post, ready to meet the thief in person, holding his hands and waiting outside the door, the porter warmly invited him to go in to drink a bowl of tea, he smiled and refused, the battle has begun from this moment, Mr. said that there are three no-fights, do not fight with gentlemen, do not fight with villains, and do not fight with heaven and earth.
Yun Ye has the name of a gentleman, a villain, and a reputation as a craftsman, and he has committed all the creeds in the three precepts, and it was only at this time that he understood the helplessness that Mr. said, and he couldn't win his heart of yearning for justice, his pity for the people, and his belief in defending the reputation of the sage.
The buzzing voices on the street seemed to disappear, and Huang Yu held his breath, ready to meet the biggest challenge of his life, and there seemed to be clouds and mist rolling in the empty side door, as if a tiger would roar out in the next moment.
A young man who was not handsome, but still handsome, walked out of the door, and it could be seen that his body was relatively weak, his steps were weak, and he was shaking a gold-painted folding fan in his hand, which he also wanted to have, but the high price of two yuan kept a famous man like him out.
"Huang Yushi, I've admired it for a long time, I heard that Yushi is supervising the people's livelihood in Chang'an, what is the matter with my Yushan? The people here are peaceful, the merchants are prosperous, and all industries are prosperous, so I really can't think of anything that Huang Yushi needs to work on. β
Yun Ye actually didn't want to come out, he fell asleep in the morning, his legs were still sore and weak, he punished Xin Yue too badly last night, he was so tired that he died, he didn't get up until the sun was in the west, he ate a meal, and just prepared to sleep in the shade of the tree in the yard to regain his spirits, and the porter sent a post that he didn't know what the imperial history was, and he was idle and idle, and it was good to see him, if people hated it, it was not too late to sleep after sending them away.
"I have long heard that the Yunjia Zhuangzi is wealthy, and the subordinate official Meng XiΓ Jian Ba supervises the land rent of the three counties of Chang'an. When you arrive at Yushan, you are ready to learn the art of getting rich from Yunhou. Please also ask Yunhou to complete. β
Looking at the respectful and courteous Yushi, and then looking at his simple sewn robe, I have a good feeling, this is a diligent person, and it is not a matter for him to always sleep, and it is good to walk around.
"Huang Yushi has won the award, since you have the emperor's order, you want to see the process of the Yun family's rent collection, so you can. Seeing that you are in the dust, why don't you go into the house to drink saliva, rest a little, go to the heat, and then see how about it? β
Huang Yu didn't want to give Yun Ye any chance to prepare, so he arched his hand and said, "There are still two counties in Xiaguan that haven't been seen." In Yunfu, we can only look at the flowers, and there is really no blessing of rest, how do we start? β
Yun Ye, such a diligent official, saw a lot, so he was not surprised, and took Huang Yu all the way to the backyard, where the Yun family's rent was all collected.
When Huang Yu came to the backyard, the first thing he saw was a huge shed, in which sat several well-dressed old men, drinking tea and eating snacks. One side of the shed is filled with various kinds of sweets. Some he had never seen before, and the sweet smell of a shed was permeating. It makes people feel comfortable, I nibbled on a dry cake at noon, and now I smell the aroma of food, and my stomach rings involuntarily, which makes Huang Yu very embarrassed.
"It's normal to be hungry, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, you run around all day, and you don't have the time to eat, this is your pride, what to be ashamed of, just drink saliva with a snack, and when you finish checking, I will bring you a bowl of noodles, that thing is a good thing to fill your stomach, much stronger than any banquet."
He saw a child throw a bag of money on the table, signed, and jumped to the shed, carrying a basket to fill his favorite snacks, the osmanthus cake was directly ignored, the mung bean cake hesitated for a while before taking two pieces, and when he passed by the jujube cake, he covered his nose, obviously the sweet fragrance of red dates, but the child seemed to smell the smell and dodged it.
Yun Ye slapped the child's head: "What kind of nose is covered by the stinky boy of jujube cake." β
The child was not afraid of this legendary demon, so he reluctantly let go of his nose and said: "The second aunt in the school always steams jujube cakes, and puts more dates than rice, I want to vomit when I smell it now, Master Hou, it's no problem for me to take more cakes." β
"I've only eaten a full meal for a few days, and now my children want to vomit when they smell the jujube cake? God, the old man was beaten by his father and mother countless times in order to eat a bite of jujube cake, and he could smell the fragrance in his dreams, and he always thought that one day he could eat a beautiful meal, and now children don't know how to cherish blessings. β
After an old man in Geyi shook a pu fan, he slapped the child's buttocks, and watched with a smile as the child greedily took the cake in the wooden box.
Yun Ye took out a piece of cake from the box and handed it to Huang Yu on a plate, and then asked his attachΓ© to take it at will, brewing the boiled teacup in the vat, and took one out with a bamboo tong and handed it to Huang Yu.
This is etiquette, it is not good to say this is Corporal Yunhou Lijie, Huang Yu has no qualifications to refuse, he took it in a daze, he really didn't expect Yun Ye to be such a casual appearance, even if he spoke harshly to himself, he was more comfortable than being so approachable now.
Putting down the food in his hand, Zhengse said to Yun Ye: "Yun Hou, the lower officials are not hungry in their stomachs, and it is not too late to eat after reading the account books." He decided to first see why Yun Ye's behavior and the things he did would go to two extremes, and the little children could talk to him casually, why they were so vicious to those dealers.
The bookkeeper brought the account book and pointed it to Huang Yu, the handwriting was clear, the account was clean, and the pen had the ins and outs, but Huang Yu didn't understand that the Yun family was executing a five-draw rent, which was already the lightest in Datang, but why the numbers on the books were so frighteningly large.
A middle-aged man with a sad face also came to pay the rent, and when he saw that everyone was a child, he wanted to run, but he walked two steps and came back helplessly, and waited in the middle of the children to call himself in the account room.
Huang Yu saw this person early, he felt that this person should be a person with a story, if there is a breakthrough today, then a gap should be opened from this person.
"Jiao Laoya, it's your turn." With the shouting of the account room, the scene was full of laughter, the naughty child also mouthed a sweet mouth called by an old girl, and the middle-aged man who wanted to have a seizure trembled his lips a few times, and helplessly lowered his head and threw the burlap bag on the table like a thief, and whispered: "This year, my family has paid rent three times and seven, and the fruit has not yet grown, and it will be counted after the autumn." β
The bookkeeper smiled and said: "Brother old girl, you can see from the rent that you have a good harvest this year, and when you put the fruits in the autumn, it is a big income, why don't you do it this year?" β
Dahan said angrily: "Just enough to eat, what to do with all the money and food, the four girls in the family, just leave them some dowry, don't bother with that." β
Huang Yu couldn't imagine that this big man was not unhappy because he paid too much rent, but because he didn't have a son, he couldn't think about it, and he sulked by himself.
The man was unhappy, and others didn't need to make fun of that person's shortcomings, only the account room pointed to his nose and said: "There is no interest, there are four girls who are like flowers and jade, this is a blessing that others can't look forward to, you still complain, there is no male baby, that God will not give it to you, you have the ability to go every day, a few days ago I heard that you are going to buy a Goryeo woman to give birth to a baby for you, you will make less sins, our Zhuangzi can not tolerate a Goryeo cub, dare to break the feng shui of Zhuangzi, your ancestors will be ashamed for eight generations, raise your daughter well, When the time comes, it is only serious to recruit a son-in-law, and less crooked and evil ways come out. β
Dahan wanted to speak and stopped, nodded and pressed his handprint on the account book and left gloomily, the family business he had accumulated all his life was not so comfortable to give to outsiders. β
"Yunhou, please forgive the lower official, can you explain to the lower official why the farmer on your village has to pay so much rent? You see, Zhang Quan, pay rent six guan three, Zhang Yuan, pay rent nine guan five, this He Dachang actually paid forty-seven guan six, the account books of the transfer department of the subordinate officials, such a number is unheard of, I don't know how Yunhou taught me. β
Yun Ye smiled dumbly, the account books of the Yun family will indeed make people suspicious, in this era of generally low productivity, the Yun family's various operations are extremely conspicuous, Yu Shi can only ask questions now, he is already a calm person, you must know that Wei Zheng has nothing to do and always likes to go to the Yun family's Zhuangzi, there is nothing to say about the Yun family, the eldest grandson has to look at the Yun family's account books very rudely every time he comes back, and he has to get angry every time, saying that the Yun family's fat is oily, this is to get the world's money back to fill the grave.
Since the big river of the Yun family is wanton, the small river ditch of the farmers is naturally full, the vegetables, grain and oil, poultry eggs and meat, as well as all kinds of snacks, seasonings, especially chili peppers, this thing makes the Yun family's farmers make a lot of money, others can only stare and drool, the farmers never give seeds to outsiders, Yun Ye gave the Cheng family, the Niu family, the Qin family, and the Wei Chi family were all scolded by the farmers behind their backs for several years.
An old man drinking tea under the shed stood up and said: "This official, the little old man is He Dachang, I paid the rent this year and paid forty-seven yuan six, I originally wanted to pay eighty yuan in one go, but unfortunately the main family did not agree, sitting here grinding the account Mr. Liu, and the old man did not agree for a long time, you also think that the old man paid less, you see, the money is on his back, you and Mr. Liu talk, I will pay him eighty yuan in one breath this year." β
Before Huang Yu could react, Liu Jiaofang jumped to his feet and scolded: "He Dachang of the dog day, I want to be beautiful, and I don't have you to take advantage of the owner's house, you pay the money clearly, next year the pastry shop will account for forty percent, next year you will pay a little more, not fifty percent, three or five years you will lose a vigorous good shop, the shop makes more and more money every year, you want to use this year's share to top next year's share, want to get benefits from the old man, die." (To be continued.) )
