Chapter 29 Household Division
In fact, Gu Chengyu had thought of this a long time ago, so he never proposed to split up.
First, because he was young with the third and fourth brothers before, and the family had always relied on the eldest brother and second brother, so he wanted to make up for it; The second is that if he can earn money, but he proposes to split the family, he will inevitably be considered unkind, and even Father Gu will probably think so, after all, they are all biological sons; The third is that he is a scholar, and he has to consider his own reputation.
So in any case, the separation is not something he can bring up.
As soon as Lin Li said this, Father Gu also thought of it, and when the family was separated, the second child and him proposed that Xiaobao couldn't let Xiaobao carry this pot! At this time, everyone happened to have arrived, and Father Gu planned to explain the reason for the separation.
"I'm really sorry, I have to trouble you to come to the house so late, today it is my Gu family who wants to split up, so I love you to come." It's too late to eat today, so I'll set up a table at home in the next few days, please be sure to enjoy it! "Daddy Gu is not a person who has never seen the world, and he can say a few words on the scene.
"As the saying goes, the tree is divided into branches, and the people are divided into families. There are many people in this family, and it is common to divide the family. Years ago, the family discussed the matter of dividing the family, and now that the family has arrived, they simply divide! My mother and I are not young anymore, and we don't have the energy to manage this big family, so it's better to split up! ”
Daddy Gu was a little sad when he said it, in fact, who doesn't want to have a full house of children and grandchildren? Which family in the village didn't live together?
"Changqing is right, everyone has different temperaments, there is always a time when there is disagreement between brothers, it is better to divide the family, and in the future, you will be in charge of your own affairs, and you will save trouble! What do you say? Although Uncle Gu didn't know why Father Gu was in such a hurry to split up, this did not prevent him from standing on the side of the third brother, thinking about this big family, and not a mother, it must be too much to live together, so it is better to divide it early!
The other three didn't have any opinions when they heard it, after all, this is a family matter, and even the head of the family wants to split up, what else can they say? Besides, who doesn't know the situation of the Gu family?
"I have no opinion on the third uncle and the uncle of the Lin family, so let's talk about your family's division? Let's be a witness, too. Lin Lizheng is actually also curious about the Gu family's background, this is an opportunity to know the Gu family's background, the people in the village say that the Gu family has a lot of money, and they don't know if it's true.
"That's it! Xiaobao! You show that paperwork to Lizheng! ”
Subsequently, Father Gu told all the things at home and put the silver ticket on the kang again.
Lin Lizheng and Uncle Gu were all dumbfounded, obedient! How much silver is this? More than three thousand taels of silver? They had never seen so much silver in their lives.
When Li Zheng saw so much silver, the greed in his heart was almost uncontrollable, and then when he heard about the Gu family's soap business, he was even more jealous. He knew the soap, the worst kind of soap in the town was sold for five dollars a piece of silver, not to mention the expensive one, no wonder the Gu family had so much silver.
How nice it would be if this soap business had its own? Li Zheng felt that he was about to be unable to suppress the greed in his heart, this thing can really be hidden! There was not a single wind in the village.
"The soap is to wait for the end of the year to settle the silver, and then everyone will divide it equally, according to the head of the house, if anyone wants to pay the silver, they can also withdraw it in advance, but not more than five hundred taels at most. The flower field is still used as soap at home, and I won't say who I will give it to now, but I will talk about it later. Let's say first, make soap, you still have to make it, you can't be lazy, whoever doesn't do it, don't think about getting silver! ”
Daddy Gu asked Gu Chengyu to add all these to it, and it was better to write it in advance, otherwise he would have to be a demon in the future.
"Daddy! This soap can't guarantee a good income every year! We also gave Master Wang a share! If Master Wang wants to bring other nobles together in the future, then our silver may be less! Can you borrow 500 taels a year, isn't it? ”
Gu Chengyu saw that Lin Lizheng had just heard that the soap was made by the Gu family, his facial expression was distorted, and the greed in his eyes was even clearer, maybe he was thinking about how to calculate the soap recipe at this moment! Therefore, he immediately brought out the old man Wang and the nobles, so as to dispel Lin Lizheng's thoughts.
No, it's too dangerous to have a Li Zheng who wants to calculate their family at any time, Li Zheng is a person who knows the times, but he is also the most greedy. I have to find a way to pull him off the horse. This is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves!
"That's right! Then three hundred taels! It's still when there is soap income, if this soap business is gone, don't think about it. ”
Gu Chengyi was a little unconvinced, how could there be no gains, could it be that the fifth child wanted to swallow it alone? Hum! He was going to keep Saburo on them.
Lin Lizheng was a little reluctant when he heard that there were still nobles involved, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't stand the temptation of money, and he was ready to find an opportunity to intervene again!
The third uncle and Uncle Lin are old, although they are also shocked that the Gu family has a strong background, but it is someone else's background, and they can only envy and envy, and they don't go to the town, and no one in the family can afford it, so they don't know that soap is sold so expensive! They don't know what soap is!
"Evergreen! The family is divided, and you have left a lot of silver, but who knows what will happen in the future? This baby still wants some pension money! No matter how bad it is, you have to give some rations! "The third uncle is a member of the Gu clan, of course, he really thinks about Daddy Gu and his wife.
"Third uncle! I kept the pension money. So be it! In the future, one room will be given 100 catties of rations every year! The fourth and fifth, wait until they become pro-give! ”
Father Gu thought about it for a while, the silver will always run out one day, and the rations are more reliable, and if you have the rations, you are not afraid of starvation!
"Hmmm! As long as you want to, you can do it! The third uncle nodded.
"Little treasure! Add this one as well, and that's it, what else do you have to say? Father Gu glanced at his sons, and focused on Gu Chengyi.
"Daddy! Should the family go to the government for archiving? Gu Chengyi took a deep breath and decided that it was better to bring it up.
Uncle Lin and the others were a little surprised, why did the Gu family still want to divide it so thoroughly? Although the tax of the Dayan Dynasty is levied according to the number of people and acres, when serving in the conscription, a family only needs to pay a ding, which can be more cost-effective than households.
Uncle Lin is Lin Lizheng's family, he and Lin Lizheng glanced at each other, and the Gu family really had money to burn.
As soon as the third uncle heard this, he knocked the floor tiles a few times with his crutches, originally separated so early, it would always be criticized if it was passed out, and now a junior still mentions the division of households? Did he not take his father in his eyes, or did he not take the entire Gu family in his eyes?
