Under the guidance of the old patriarch, Huang Tinghui finally found the location of his cousin's house.

is worthy of being a famous man, or a Jinshi background.

is different from poor Xiucai, once Xiucai is admitted to the lifter, the identity and treatment have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In ancient times, there was a class distinction between "Shinong and Industrialist".

And Xiucai's identity has been to get rid of other classes and successfully enter the "shi" class.

And the "gentry" class was the highest status class in the past.

Of course, for Xiucai, Dasheng Dynasty also has some special preferential treatment.

For example, for the tolerance of the court showdown, Xiucai and his wife can be exempted.

At the same time, Xiucai does not have to pay for field grain.

You must know that in the past, for the common people, the tolerance of the court showdown was a great burden.

And compared with ordinary people, Xiucai's identity and status are also higher.

If they meet the county magistrate in the court, they can also be exempted from courtesy and do not have to kneel.

Just like when Huang Tinghui met the county master by the lake, if he met the county master in the public court at that time, Huang Tinghui, a scholar who was not even a child, would naturally have to bow down.

After all, the county lord is the local parent official.

And if Huang Tinghui is admitted to Xiucai, then in the public court, he doesn't have to kneel to the county master.

Of course, in addition, the imperial court will also give some subsidies to Xiucai every year.

However, the subsidies given by the imperial court are naturally not too much.

In addition, most of the talents need to concentrate on their studies and cannot engage in other labor affairs.

So many Xiucai have ordinary family backgrounds.

However, compared with ordinary people, their standard of living is still much better.

Of course, this is only compared to the standard of living of other ordinary people.

If they compare with those who lift them, then the treatment is very different.

First of all, compared with Xiucai, Juren actually has the status of an official.

The lifters belong to the same level as the general prefectural order, so they are eligible to sit on an equal footing.

There is a law in the Dasheng Dynasty that if a person who is admitted to the examination cannot be admitted to the Jinshi, then he can report to the imperial court for approval.

If this person can pass the examination of the imperial court, he can have the opportunity to directly go to the local government to serve as a county magistrate or an official position such as a priest.

In other words, if this cousin of the old patriarch has a way and ability, it is not impossible to raise someone to be an official.

Speaking of which, we have to mention a ruthless man in the previous dynasty.

He was admitted to the juren, but the jinshi has never been successful.

In a fit of rage, this person voted for a different race, and the official became the prime minister.

In the end, the former dynasty was called enough to bully.

After this incident, the imperial court changed the relevant laws and regulations to prevent such a thing from happening again.

This decree was naturally directly accepted by the Dasheng Dynasty.

Of course, if this were the case, Juren would not be so sought after.

After all, whether you want to be an official or not, doesn't it depend on ability and access?

The point is, as long as you have the status of a lifter, then you don't have to pay taxes, and your whole family is exempt from paying taxes.

Therefore, many people who are related to the lifting person will attach all their land to the name of the lifting person, so as to facilitate the exemption from taxation in the future.

And this is also why, many people in ancient times eventually became "landlords".

In fact, this drawback has also led to endless problems.

Taxation has always been the most important thing for the state, and if it is avoided in this way, the revenue of the national treasury will inevitably decrease.

The contradictions between the center and the landlord class will intensify.

This is also one of the biggest problems faced by the Dasheng Dynasty.

"Brother Hui, what do you want?"

"It's here, it's the Li Mansion!" The old patriarch's words pulled Huang Tinghui back from his fugue state.

At this time, Huang Tinghui realized that he was really thinking too far.

A huge country, a huge organization.

It is inevitable that there will be many ills.

This is just like human birth, old age, sickness and death, a natural law, an irreversible thing.

It was far from something that a small citizen like him could consider.

"Patriarch, this is the Li Mansion!"

"Just by looking at that plaque, you know that it's a very angry faction!"

Huang Tinghui has always wanted to buy a house in the city, not to mention anything else, if the house can be rented out to get some "crazy money", it is also a very good thing.

In his previous life, he was not born in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and he failed to become the second generation who had a house to "rent".

If there is a chance in this life, Huang Tinghui naturally wants to make this easy money.

I also enjoy the realm proposed by the "brick family" and "professors", and earn "extra money".

"Look at your unproductive appearance, this scares you?"

"It's just a house, it looks magnanimous!"

"If you are admitted to the Juren in the future, you are still worried that you will not be able to buy such a house?"

"If you can be admitted to the Jinshi, it will be even more amazing!"

The old patriarch stroked his white beard, and he said to Huang Tinghui with a smile.

Huang Tinghui also smiled dryly, he didn't dare to tell the old patriarch that his current wealth could not afford to live in such a big house.

But buying a small house should be barely enough.

If you tell the old patriarch about this, I don't know if it will frighten the old patriarch.

"Let's go!" After speaking, the old patriarch took a few steps forward.

He gently pulled the iron ring on the gate of the Li Mansion, and the iron ring hit the metal on the gate, making a "bell bell" sound.

At this sound, the door was quickly opened from the inside.

Immediately after, a man poked his head out.

At first glance, this person is a servant of the Li Mansion.

"Dare to ask my husband, is there something wrong with you?"

Although the servants of the Li Mansion looked at Huang Tinghui and the old patriarch with some doubts, there was no traditional novel routine of "dogs looking down on people".

From here, it can be seen that the owner of this house is still very educated.

The quality of a slave can easily see the management style of the owner of the house.

"Oh!"

"My name is Huang Mingzhang, and I am a farmer, but your lord's name is Li Baichong?"

"He's my cousin!"

"I did come to my cousin for something today, and I was tired!" The old patriarch said very politely to the servant.

As the saying goes, the prime minister is a three-rank official in front of the door.

To see Li Baichong, it is naturally an indispensable step for this slave to go through.

"It turned out to be a relative of the master!" The servant's gaze suddenly became hotter, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to the old patriarch.

"Uncle, little brother!"

"I'll go and say hello, and ask the two of you to wait outside the door!"

After saying that, the servant closed the door of the Li Mansion again.

Only a sound of footsteps was heard, and the man trotted in the direction of Li Baichong's study.
