Chapter Twenty-Eight: You Can't Do Without Reading
The next day, Xin Kun didn't go to the workshop, she went to the village office to talk about dividing the sect.
In a village where the surname Xin is located, there is also a village office according to the rules. It was built by the imperial court. However, before, everyone would rather go to Master Xin's workshop to chat.
Xin Ye didn't care before, but Xin Kun didn't like them to go to the workshop now, which would delay the work of the masters, so he directly asked them to go to the village office that had been empty.
The cleaning in the village office, so now she can sit in the first place, slowly blowing the tea foam in the tea bowl.
Today, Xin Kun is dressed in five or six people, wearing a silk gown, of course, this is the legendary father's.
It can also be seen from the clothes left by the father that the old man is used to his son very much.
Of the unwanted garments that were left behind, the worst ones were coarse silk. And that room, full of beautiful and shiny furniture.
Thinking of Xin Ye, he would not wear a coarse silk shirt except for important things, and the furniture in the house, he was very skeptical that it was an antique that had been used for several lifetimes.
So these days, she has always felt that the old man did not educate his only son well. It is precisely because of this that he has run away from home for so many years for the sake of the right old man, and he should just make a special excuse to leave because he doesn't want to become the heir of the craftsman family.
Before, the old man wanted to make clothes for him, but she didn't let him, and directly wore the ones left by the nominal father.
But that one should not be tall, and she is dressed just right, which means that the father is thin and small. Then she put it on, and the old man cried with joy.
"Brother Kun, as soon as you come back, let the uncle divide the sect, what do you mean? Didn't your dad teach you? A certain clan uncle finally stopped arguing and looked at Xin Kun.
"It's really because of me." Xin Kun nodded, smiled at everyone, and gently put down the teacup.
"See, it's this stinky boy who makes my uncle ignore us." The one seemed to have found the evidence and said happily.
"It's a foregone conclusion that I'm going out to study, so as long as you can persuade grandpa to stay, that grandpa won't let me leave him after losing my father."
Xin Kun smirked and explained, she felt that her explanation was very good, which was equivalent to telling them directly that the old man had to go. However, she didn't take responsibility, looked at them with a smile, and continued slowly.
"Of course, if you think that you can live a better life under the leadership of your grandfather, we don't mind still hanging the name of the patriarch."
"Uncle wants to go to study with you, how can we stop it, but since we want to divide the sect, we must have a charter for the sect." The clan uncle who questioned him immediately said.
There were all the men in the house, and they didn't really want the old man to stay at this time.
In their opinion, the old man has been able to support them all these years because he can earn enough money.
If they were the patriarchs, they would be able to hire a bunch of people to work for them like the old man, and then live a comfortable life.
"This is the clan ledger, I have seen it, the land outside the village before is actually the family property, which was prepared by the ancestors for future generations. As a result, due to various reasons, in this generation, it became the private property of the ancestors. Basically, we don't mind turning that land into a family property. Xin Kun still had a very gentle smile on his face.
"The land is not valuable, what do we want the land from the craftsman village?" This time the person who roared was someone else.
"It means that you want a workshop, but the workshop has been private property for generations." Xin Kun picked up the tea bowl again, and didn't drink it, just slowly blew the foam.
"But you can't take the workshop with you." The people below were furious.
"We can't take it with us, but we can sell it for money, you know, we have to prepare more money when we leave our homeland. We will sell it together with the mansion. Xin Kun smirked at them, "The point is, it's also private property that has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
Everyone opened their mouths, because this is really hard to refute, although they are all people who have no conscience, but they are still ordinary people.
No matter what ordinary people do, they can't do anything to take away people's private property, even if they want to, they hope that the person who does it is not themselves.
So the people below are all looking left and right, hoping to come to someone.
Xin Kun doesn't speak either, negotiation is a technical job, and she doesn't lack this training. And as scholars, no matter what they produce, they are not short of patience.
He promised the old man that the house and workshop would stay in the village, but the problem was that she couldn't give it like that, and if she gave it easily, it would make these people think that they really didn't want to get rid of the family.
"Brother Kun, you have to know, this village has introduced an outsider...... the leader frowned, this village is full of people with the surname Xin, they can't tolerate it, the biggest workshop owner in this village is a foreigner.
"Then I can't help it, of course, if you are willing to pay for it, we are willing to use the land outside the village as a sacrificial field, and use it to worship the ancestors."
"How much can that field have?" One said rudely.
"Well, you didn't want it because you thought you had to pay taxes, so you ...... However, I suggest that you should not set up a clan study, if you don't study, you will be beaten. She furrowed her face again, smiling heaps on her face, but there was not the slightest hint of discrimination in her eyes.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The leader said.
"I mean, it's pitiful to be uneducated, one is that there is no tax on registered sacrificial fields. Of course, the income can only be used for the clan. But if you know how to settle accounts, if the land becomes a sacrificial field, the income can be used to pay for a lot of expenses, such as buying a sacrificial field, for example, you can run a clan school, your children can study in the clan study for free, and they can also eat three meals in the clan study, do you understand? She shook her head and let out a long sigh.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to refute it. After thinking about it for a while, a certain clan uncle was a little confused, "But no one in this village knows how to farm?" ”
"So I said, there is not a single smart person in this village, including my grandfather. You really don't feel sorry for wasting the land. ”
Xin Kun shook his head, feeling really speechless, obviously there are so many ways in this world, and these people can live so stupidly.
"What do you mean?" That one was really dumbfounded.
"Meaning, you don't know how to plant, you don't recruit a few tenant farmers?" She spread her hands to them, such a simple thing, why didn't these people know what to do.
"But...... yes, why don't we hire people to farm? One of them said.
Everyone is also dumbfounded, yes, why? How does he know why.
So in the end, they looked at Xin Kun together, and Xin Kun spread his hands to them.
"Now that the land problem is solved, let's talk about the mansion and the workshop, how much are you willing to pay?"
