Chapter 66: Reminder
Seeing that the three little girls were having a good time, Lin Qingwan also felt at ease to talk to Mrs. Shi, checked the law, and knew that although Juetian could not be bought and sold, he could build a house, and after the house could be bought and sold, Lin Qingwan planned to set aside a piece of land to give to Mrs. Shi, and she didn't need to give money, just pay the cost of the house transfer when the time came.
"The land below has been planted with fruit trees, I asked people to dig up the fruit trees near Qingfeng Village, and give you four or five acres, and I will help you get the paperwork from the Yamen, you just need to find someone to build a house."
Mrs. Shi thanked: "Thank you, Lord Qingwan, when the house is built, I will invite you to be a guest." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled, "As long as Mrs. goes back and takes care of our family Yubin more, that child has a shy personality and often stuffs in his heart, and I can't take care of it from time to time, so I can't help but be negligent." ”
"Is the county lord already planning to send the county lord to study?"
"Please also ask Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Lu to teach more." Lin Qingwan solemnly asked.
The two Shixian sisters looked at each other, both a little happy, Lin Yubin was the first "outsider" in the women's school.
This women's school is attached to the Lu family, and the girls from the Lu family and the Shi family are all accepted, and now there is a girl from the Zhou family, but it is also the granddaughter of their cousin, and she is still a relative.
Lin Yubin was the first student to come to the door, and of course the two of them were happy to receive foreign students, because this was an affirmation of women's studies.
Although family learning is generally for the children of the clan and relatives and friends to learn, in fact, it is also recruited from outside, and the students who are admitted in the future are also the help of the family.
After all, in this era, in addition to official learning, the form of private learning is mostly family learning.
Mrs. Shi promised to teach Lin Yubin well, and the two sides talked happily.
Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea, glanced at her happy sister and said, "Lord Qingwan, I heard that your family has fenced off the land?" ”
"It's just to prevent disputes, after all, my land has not been cultivated in the spring, and some places are connected to wasteland, in fact, if it weren't for the lack of time, in fact, I actually wanted to lay boundary stones."
"If you have time, it's better to get the boundary stone," Mrs. Lu said meaningfully, "Although it hurts the face, the clear boundary can reduce many disputes." Sister, do you still remember the Zhan land loss case that made a lot of trouble in Jiangdu a few years ago? ”
Shi Xian sneered, "The memory is especially deep. ”
Lin Qingwan's heart moved, "What kind of case is it related to a land dispute?" ”
Mrs. Lu bowed her head, put down the teacup and explained: "The Jiangdu Zhan family moved because they were officials, and they couldn't find tenants in a piece of land in the south of the city for a while, so it was deserted, year after year, the land was not big, but it was not small, and I didn't think about it for a while. When they resigned and returned to their hometowns, the land had been deserted for five or six years, and where did it still exist? ”
"The surrounding neighbors encroached on the past little by little, and when the Zhan family returned to their hometown, they remembered to see that there were less than three acres of land left in more than 100 acres."
Lin Qingwan had been in the countryside when she was a child, and she knew that some people would open up the wasteland and open up the wide ridges for farming, so that the crops could grow in one row, or even two rows.
Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't get off the line, neighbors won't say anything even if they're dissatisfied, but there are a lot of quarrels that arise from this.
Lin Qingwan saw people fight over this when she was a child, and her grandfather was invited to be a notary.
Didn't she let people erect the fence early, just because she was worried that this would happen?
It seems that the Zhan family didn't get back that piece of land, otherwise Shi Hui wouldn't have taken it out and said it, her heart moved, and she couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the land adjacent to the Zhan family belongs to the Zhao family?" ”
Shi Hui raised her eyebrows, looked at her and nodded: "It is the Zhao family, at that time, Zhao Jiegang won the battle in Lingzhou and was rewarded by the emperor, and the Zhao family was in the limelight." ”
"That's why Zhan didn't get the land back." Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "Actually, according to the law, the Zhan family can't get it back. ”
There is a law in the Great Liang that the land of the lord shall not be wasted, and all shall pay taxes, and as far as the common people are concerned, of course they will not be wasted, because the fields are in their name, and they shall pay taxes if they do not cultivate the grain?
But the officials are different, the officials of Daliang have tax-free acres, and at this time, there are often people who abandon the land when they can't find tenants and long-term workers.
And the imperial court also stipulates that no matter who the other party is, wasteland will be nationalized if it is abandoned for more than ten years.
However, there is another provision, although the people must obtain the consent of the yamen to open up the wasteland, but if they open the land without consent, and cultivate it for more than three years but less than five years, and pay the tax on time, they will be fined one percent of the field tax, and the land cleared out of the land shall be owned by the person who opened up the wasteland; Those who have cultivated for five years or more and paid taxes on time do not have to pay fines, and the land belongs to the clearer.
The definition of wasteland is wasteland that has been abandoned for more than two years, unfortunately, except for this one, Zhan's other conditions are met, but it is obvious that in the end Zhao made Zhan's all conditions meet.
"The Zhao family has opened up a lot of wasteland through this method, and some people even planted their own fertile land, and inexplicably a certain heaven and earth lord has changed people, which is the law of wasteland reclamation." Shi Hui has a very bad sense of the Zhao family, her cousin is the old lady of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family and the Zhao family are in Jiangdu, so they don't know too much about the Zhao family's selfish methods.
Lin Qingwan was displeased, "Even if the wasteland is cleared, the law is there, how can the fertile land be invaded as wasteland?" Jiang Du stabbing history doesn't care? ”
"The Zhao family has become more and more domineering, Jiangdu Assassin Shi has turned a blind eye for the past two years," Shi Xian sneered, "If you want me to say, his grade is not lower than Zhao Jie's, there is really no need to be so compromised, kill the Zhao family's sharpness, I see how arrogant he is." ”
"Sister," Shi Hui said helplessly: "That Jiangdu Thorn Shi is from a poor family, and now he is in his fifties, and he is afraid that he will not even be able to keep his home." ”
Lin Qingwan said lightly: "The Zhao family is just a Zhao Jieer, why worry about it?" ”
Shi Xian clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Exactly, it's just a Zhao Jie, what is arrogant, Lingzhou's military power is still in Lu Zhen's hands." ”
But the Lu family can't get involved in Jiangdu's affairs, and this kind of thing is a bit in each family, if you really want to be serious, you will definitely be implicated, and everyone is just happy to pretend to be confused.
"The Zhao family naturally can't provoke the Lin family, but the county lord should be careful, after all, Zhao Sheng was too anxious to buy the land under the mountain a few years ago."
"I'm afraid that some people think that my father and brother have died, and think that our aunt and nephew have nothing to rely on, so we have to come to provoke it." Lin Qingwan sneered, she didn't think that Zhao Sheng bought the land under the mountain just to buy property.
Shi Xian sneered, "No, I thought we were women, so I thought we were weak and could be bullied." ”
Shi Hui was helpless, "Sister, we're talking about the Lin family, why are you involved in yourself again?" ”
"I'm not much different from the county lord, both are widows, both are tired with their families, and there is no man to stand up to the door."
Lin Qingwan laughed and couldn't help but say, "In this way, you and I are in the same situation." ”
Shi Hui saw that her sister and Lin Qingwan looked like confidants, and couldn't help but shake the corners of her mouth, almost the two of you can be mother and daughter, do you want to do this?
The women's school chose to start classes on the first day of the first month of next month, and Lin Qingwan simply asked Lin Yubin to serve tea to the two gentlemen, and waited until the first day of the new year to bring a bundle to the ceremony.
Knowing that Lin Yubin was going to study with them, Cui Rong and Lu Ling were so happy that they simply made an appointment to make sachets together tomorrow.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and when the time comes, you should wear a Wufu sachet with some herbs or herbs in it to prevent insects and avoid epidemics.
In addition to wearing it yourself, you have to give it to relatives and friends, and the natural meaning of making it yourself is even different, and the three girls looked at the adults with blank eyes, hoping that they would agree.
Lin Qingwan couldn't hold their eyes at first, turned her head and said, "If the two ladies are relieved, it is better to let them come to my courtyard tomorrow as guests." ”
Mrs. Shi likes Lin Qingwan, and naturally wants her daughter to be close to their aunt and nephew, so she told Cui Rongdao: "Don't be naughty when you go, you have to listen to the arrangement of the county lord." ”
"Yes, I will definitely listen to the county lord."
Lin Qingwan smiled, "Just follow Yubin and call me aunt, so as not to be angry." ”
Cui Rong secretly stuck out his tongue and whispered "Aunt Lin", and Lu Ling hurriedly followed.
Lin Qingwan smiled and gave them a greeting gift, and Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Lu obediently called her "Sister Wan", and Lin Qingwan no longer called them Mrs. Wan, but called them "Sister Xian" and "Sister Hui".
Lin Yubin also received gifts from two elders, and happily followed her little aunt home.
"Auntie, shall we bring my cousin and cousins here?" Lin Yubin frowned and said, "Sister Danju wrote to me, saying that they haven't been out since the New Year's greetings. ”
"Then you can write a post and ask for it, and let Lin Shun run errands for you."
"Doesn't my aunt write letters to my grandmother?"
"No, there will be a lot of gatherings between your sisters in the future, so I can't write to the old lady every time, right?" Lin Qingwan encouraged her in a low voice: "I think the old lady is quite open-minded, if you invite, she will definitely be willing to let Danlan and them go out." ”
Lin Yubin was apprehensive, but he still wrote a post for Lin Shun to send to Shang's house, "I must come back when I get a reply." ”
Lin Ying went into the city upside down.
The Shang family has been lively these days, and the old lady just relented and wanted to send the girls to the Lu family to study, but the second lady hinted that Shang Danlan was old, and when she saw it, she was going to say that she was married, and it was not good to go out again.
The old lady was already dissatisfied with the Zhao family, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately said that she would go to all three, and if one of them didn't go, she wouldn't go.
Zhao could only swallow her words, but she didn't mention it here, but the eldest lady had a different opinion.
The eldest lady objected to her daughter going out to study, she just had to think that there was a group of strange men next door to the female school, she couldn't stand it, no matter how Danlan persuaded her, it was useless, and the old lady's words had already been spoken, so naturally she couldn't change it, and she was prejudiced against Mrs. Shi, who was teaching, and she was half okay and half impossible for the girls to go there to study, so she was naturally happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Shang Danlan didn't expect things to be stuck with her mother, and her eyes were red in the past few days.
Fortunately, the two cousins didn't blame her, otherwise she would have been even more uncomfortable, Lin Yubin's post came at the right time, and the three sisters felt that it would be good if they could go out of the house to breathe.
The old lady naturally liked that they had more contact with Lin Yubin, and seeing that it was a post written by Yubin, she agreed without asking Zhao, "Let your sister-in-law take you there, and go out early tomorrow, just don't trouble your Aunt Lin." ”
Shang Mingjie was very envious, "Grandmother, let me go too." ”
"No," said the old lady with a straight face, "you still have to go to school tomorrow, you forgot what you said, you will have to visit Mr. Lu in a few days." ”
Shang Mingjie was lost, and when he returned to the house, he found a lot of things, and Tuo Danzhu gave them to Lin Yubin, "These are all bought when I was shopping, not a good thing, but they are exquisite and interesting, you take them to Cousin Lin to play." ”
Danzhu tilted his head and smiled, "Why don't you see my brother send us?" ”
"Don't you all have it?"
"That's the same, we bought it with Brother Qianyang, Cousin Lin didn't ask you to buy these things."
Shang Mingjie hurriedly said, "Good sister, you give these to Cousin Lin first, and I'll buy some for you another day." ”
Danzhu snorted and said, "I'll spare you for the time being, but don't forget." ”
