Chapter 136: The Banker
If it weren't for the large pocket, where would Jia Lian dare to spend money lavishly, and the previous one or two thousand winter clothes would have been done.
Even with it, he didn't think much of the income of this small Zhuangzi.
After a little washing, Jia Lian stayed in this Zhuangzi, and it was the second day in a blink of an eye.
It's time to get down to business.
Jia Lianqiang, a document about thieves in the Shaanzhou Mansion, took it and saw it, breaking the leader of the thieves in Yuling County, one surnamed Shi and the other surnamed Xue.
He didn't remember the rest of the leaders, but these two surnames were really eye-catching.
Mercy! Xue Yong!
These two pickled men first killed him in the emperor's tomb, and then let him cold guns.
If it weren't for the timely response, Jia Lian would almost have died in the chaos that night, and then he inquired in many ways with hatred, only to know that the two had not returned to Kyoto, and they could not be found.
I didn't think that God had eyes, so I asked him to meet again!
Counting the days, the time of Shi Kou's rise and the time of Shi Enxue Yong's escape are also right!
At present, the imperial court of this group of Shi Kou's strongholds is still unknown, but it is known that he usually haunts Shaanzhou and Ping'anzhou. And here Pingbian County happens to be not far from Ping'anzhou, which is the place where the two big states meet, and someone must have met Shi Kou's traces.
He should have come to visit!
Go to Zhuangzi first and ask, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong are Jia Lian's confidants, and one of them is holding a placket and a cloak with big sleeves, and the other is holding three umbrellas and waiting, so he followed Jia Lian at this time.
Jia Lian put on a cloak and came out of Zhuangzi.
In the cold winter season, it is the end of the year, most of the villagers stay at home, this year's snow is falling, and the winter wheat can not be taken care of, so it can only be placed in the field, hoping not to be frozen to death.
first knocked on a family outside the garden wall, knowing that it was the new owner's house, which male owner hurriedly introduced Jia Lian to the door.
"That's the only day you cook laba porridge?" Bowing his head and entering the house, Jia Lian smelled it and tilted his head to say.
The Zhuang guest replied tremblingly, saying that it was Laba porridge, but in fact, where did he get all that, just a few random additions.
asked Shi Kou about the situation again, Zhuang Ke didn't know what to ask, and only looked at Jia Lian with blank eyes.
When he went out, Jia Lian visited a few more houses, all of which were the same.
The villagers here are protected by a dock fort, and they can farm with peace of mind and ignore the outside world.
And the thieves outside are not good to come and grab here, the thieves can't look down on everyone, and the thieves can't break it, so they can't come over and grab some wheat outside.
After walking a few houses like this, Jia Lian reacted, it was useless to ask the villagers here, he was afraid that he would have to ask Zhuangzi and go to other places in the county to ask.
Jia Lian was a resolute person, so he hurriedly beckoned Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong to follow, and led the horse towards Zhuangzi.
"Second master, walk slowly,......" Zhao Tianliang pulled Jia Lian and persuaded: "Don't you forget the customs?" ”
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard it: "What customs?" ”
He came out to find thieves, and he was not a magistrate in charge of political affairs, and he had to do some errand to find customs.
Zhao Tianliang hurriedly explained that this New Year's Festival is approaching, and the landlord should send red envelopes to the long-term workers for the New Year.
Previously, several families looked at Jia Lian who was visiting, but that's not what it meant.
Jia Lian is from a noble background, and he is not a landlord, how can he understand this, he hesitated for a while after listening to Zhao Tianliang's words.
Zhao Tianliang Zhao Tiandong said: "The second master doesn't know, the red envelopes issued this New Year's Festival are very beneficial!" The people below took the red envelope for a good year, that is, they owe the favor of the main family, so it is easy to be obedient in ordinary times, and it is easy for the main family to collect more grain during the autumn harvest next year, and they are not good to protest.
In addition, at the beginning of spring, the people below also have to borrow farm tools and seeds from the master's house and plough cattle, so it is easy to collect more than eight buckets out of ten buckets......"
Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong talked eloquently, don't look at them as servants in Rongguo Mansion, but when they return to their own house, they are also a landlord, how can they not understand this truth.
"Shhhh
Jia Lian heard this for the first time, so he couldn't help but be surprised: "Eighty or ninety percent of the grain was collected?" You two are so black-hearted...... you are so black-hearted? ”
Zhao Tianliang said with a smile: "Second master, it's not our brother's black heart, it's really the same thing everywhere in the world." These villagers have been sheltered by the master's family and live in the dock fort, they are not afraid of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and they can't help picking wild vegetables, so it is true that the harvest in the field is eighty or ninety, and there are those who have signed the servant deed......
When we saw this Zhuangzi, we knew that no matter how many farmers outside wanted to enter, they couldn't get in! ”
"Bullshit! I'll give it away today! ”
Jia Lian was irritable when he heard this, turned around directly, sat in the lobby in the garden, and called Lao Zhuangtou and Laiwang Laixi.
Sister Feng'er let the two of them come over, firstly, to let Zhuangzi hand over the New Year's goods, and secondly, because Jia Lian, the quartermaster, did not know when he would be the quartermaster, and it was good to set the Zhuangzi's commission for next year.
Jia Lian asked at this time, and found that it was similar to what Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong said, the people who signed the servant deed in the Zhuangzi did not mention it, and the other households collected eighty percent of the grain, and the families who borrowed cattle planted more fields, so the commission should also be added.
Laiwang also carefully explained that because they were all Zhuangke, the taxes of the imperial court were paid here to ensure that the people below would not starve to death.
"Excuse me! Excuse me! ”
Jia Lian patted the coffee table next to him and said angrily: "Don't go all year round, what's the matter with earning a hundred percent of grain and going home?" Excuse me! Fifty-fifty! ”
Next to Laiwang, the account room sent by Sister Feng was calculating at this time, and said bitterly: "Second master, it's not like that, fifty-fifty shares and help pay taxes, then you and grandma have to pay money here every year......"
"You're not fooling me?" Jia Lian hesitated, he really didn't know how to farm, but he just felt that the original draw was wrong.
"Who dares!"
"That'...... June Fourth? ”
"It's still not possible, if you don't say anything, you have to be seventy-three, otherwise you won't even be able to support this garden, let alone help grandma's house."
Jia Lian's good deeds are also difficult to do, he waved his hand.
"That's it......"
Although Lai Wang Laixi received Sister Feng's order, where did he dare to touch Jia Lian's brows, seeing that Jia Lian had finalized the matter of the draw, he could only prepare to pull the old Zhuang head to discuss with a bitter face...... Seventy out of nine is also seventy out of seven!
"Wait!"
Jia Lian spoke again: "Call some sturdy and able farmers from the village to come out and go hunting with me!" Well...... The household that comes out of the house will have its commission reduced next year. ”
"It's easy!"
The old Zhuang didn't care about coming to Wanglaixi, and when he heard this, he shouted excitedly.
Lai Wanglai stood aside with a sad face, lamenting in his heart, how could this deal with Sister Feng.
After waiting for a while, Jia Lian walked out and saw more than 30 people waiting in the garden with guys. As long as the village looks a little strong, they are called by the old villager, among which there are servants who have signed a servant deed, and there are also Zhuang guests.
