Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 15 Three lots to protect the same production
At that moment, Li Su first opened his mouth to express his position, saying that after the death of his father, he took care of his younger brother and took care of his future in the imperial examination, and later went to work in Beijing, etc., and he had no time to dissect his property.
Today, Defan County reminded me that I should make a break to this family affair that I would have time to cook in the future.
And the children and nephews have all grown up, and they should also let go, so that each family has a livelihood and will not worry about the future.
This was immediately approved by Li Tonglu: "Yan Ruo (Li Suzi) is very good, and he can be called a model for your generation!" ”
Li Wuqi didn't hear it clearly, but when he heard the word "model", he immediately nodded and agreed: "What I said is, what I said is!" ”
Fan Xianling was very satisfied with this, and he turned his head to look at Li Yan, who was quietly wiping his sweat: "Xuanzhi (Li Yanzi), what does Brother Zun mean, what do you think?" ”
"Uh, yes, good!" Li Yan hurriedly bowed down and replied.
"What about Goro's opinion?"
Li Shuo looked up at his mother, hugged his fists and saluted first: "The eldest gathered the patriarch, the elder, the uncle, and the third uncle to discuss, and there was no place for the kid to speak."
It's just because his father died early, and his cousin is impatient with mundane affairs, so the boy is shy to become the last. The old man of Lao County asked, and the kid thought that those who follow the law of the country and are good because of human affection!
The separation of property is conducive to the country's tax revenue, and our generation should pay it according to the law. It's just ......, the kid is ignorant, and he doesn't know what the charter is for this property, and how to do it? I hope you will give me advice! ”
"Well, good! The presentation is clear, concise and to the point. Gorou is worthy of the name of "the least talented" in my province. ”
Fan Xianzun smiled and nodded to Li Tonglu (Li Shuo is from his disciple) who was shaking his head when he heard it, and turned his face to look at Li Su: "Brother Yan Ruo, you have a manuscript in your heart." If you have any suggestions, you may wish to say it, and everyone will discuss it. ”
"Wait!" Li Yan suddenly got up and arched his hand: "Elders, Lord Fan, I want to let Inuzi Dalang and Erlang also come to listen, it is also an opportunity for his brother to increase his knowledge, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Oh, that's what you want to do?" Fan Xianling looked at Li Su as he spoke, saw him nodding slightly, and looked at Li Tonglu without saying anything.
He nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, then invite the two sons to be there." Speaking of which, after Wenzhou returned, I only saw him once, but I really wanted to take a closer look at the demeanor of the new lifter! ”
After a while, Brother Li Zhi came in, saluted the elders above and Fan County, and stood behind Li Yan on the left and right.
With the blessing of two sons, Li Yan suddenly felt a lot bolder, and he didn't dare to delay too much, so he hurriedly said to the county honor: "Boss, please ask my eldest brother to start." ”
Li Su's idea is actually not complicated, and he put forward three suggestions around the topic of "separation of production without separation":
After all the fields and shops are cleared, the three rooms take turns to sit in charge of the village;
At present, the Li family's ancestral house, furniture, miscellaneous uses, livestock, vehicles and other floating wealth are divided into three, and each family takes one;
Slaves and maidservants belong to their respective owners, and servants are hired to follow their employers.
"Changfang has already spoken, do you two see anything wrong?" Li Tonglu asked tremblingly while rubbing his beard.
Li Shuo felt that there seemed to be a problem here, but he couldn't say it at once, he frowned and looked back at his mother.
At this time, Li Yan first said: "It's not appropriate to do this, right?" Then he leaned back and asked, "Son, did you say?" ”
"My father is thinking that there is something wrong with it." Li bowed and said.
"Oh? What does Da Lang think is wrong? Tell your uncle about it. Li Su said with a smile.
Li Zhi glanced at Li Yan, and seeing that he didn't object, he stepped forward half a step forward to salute, and then said:
"Uncle Fang Cai means that after the birth of the third room, the parents take turns to sit in the village, but this is afraid that it is not suitable in the second uncle's room.
The second aunt obviously can't show her head, and the third and fifth brothers are still young and not good at this, so it is difficult to order the shopkeepers.
Therefore, how to take care of these real estates, the little nephew feels that it has to be properly discussed.
In addition, there is a floating wealth, which can be seen as the eldest uncle said, and the items are complex and numerous.
Many of them belong to the elders who bought the house after the death of their grandfather, and it is not appropriate to take out all of them and divide them equally.
As for the treatment of slaves and servants, the nephew had no objection. Whether it's right or not, all the elders and county elders, please correct! ”
After speaking, he saluted again, took half a step back and still stood with Li Jin.
After listening to his words, Li Shuo's heart brightened a lot, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking that after all, his brother was a lifter, and his knowledge was different. I wondered when I would be able to say this?
Fan County Ling smiled: "Originally, Yan Ruo, as a parent, was in charge of the livelihood of the whole family, but it has not been easy to say that these years, the eldest brother is like a father."
Selected, both of your brothers benefited from Yan Ruo's nurturing and teaching. Wulang, you also have to remember that even if you separate your family and live your own life in the future, don't forget Yan Ruo's contribution to the Li family! ”
After he finished speaking, Li Yan's family quickly got up, Li Shuo also stood up, everyone bowed down together and said "yes", and then saluted Li Su, and Li Su was busy returning the salute.
There was a lively scene, everyone sat down again, and then Fan Xianling asked Li Shuo: "Wulang is also famous now, can he have words?" ”
"There are no words yet." Li Shuo hurriedly got up again and replied.
"In that case, how about I give you a word by fate today?"
"The boss is the head of this county, how fortunate it is to be a student who is respected by the county!"
Fan County Ling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Zi Mingshuo, the word given to you is 'Ziyuan', okay?" ”
Yuanzi is intentionally knowledgeable, and the word Shuo is the opposite, Li Shuo immediately understood that Fan County's order meant to make himself strive to be strong and be a person with a profound bachelor's degree.
He hurriedly gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Lord for giving words!" Fan Xianling laughed.
In the past of this episode, several elders have exchanged opinions, and they basically agree with Li's book.
Real estate is easy to say, everyone is by lot, but how is floating wealth good, several people argued for a while, or did not agree.
At this time, Li Zhu saw that the room was quiet, and said, "Rank elders, juniors have a suggestion, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Is it reasonable for a new person not to listen to what he says?" Li Tonglu smiled and nodded: "Da Lang, let's listen to it." ”
"Yes. The younger generation thinks that there are two key points in today's property analysis: that is, the eldest uncle's 'property analysis is not divided', and the property left by the grandfather of the person who analyzed. ”
As soon as Li said this, he immediately became the center of attention of everyone in the room.
He hesitated and continued: "In this case, my grandfather bought an estate before he died, and the family had account books, and the county government had a deed to use as a proof.
The extra should be as long as the deed after the death of the grandfather is presented, or the deed can be checked in the county office, then it can be counted as the property of the house, and it is not included in the analysis.
In this way, the amount of inheritance left by the grandfather at the time of his death is verified, and then the three families draw lots to divide it equally.
In this way, not only the land, the shop, but also the house, livestock, slaves, etc., as long as there is a contract, can be done in this way.
The rest of the real ones that have neither the previous deed can be checked, nor any family has presented a new deed to claim them, they will be included in the separate list, and after the grandfather's estate is disposed of, they will be disposed of by lot in the same way.
As for the furniture, bedding, utensils, ornaments, etc., which are now used and stored, they will not be divided into the house in which they are used and stored.
Shared goods such as carriages and horses can be divided by lot, and the unearned family can receive the same amount of floating wealth as compensation.
After deducting compensation, the remaining floating wealth such as gold, silver, money and accounts receivable in the accounts during the year is also ...... thirds. Do you have any objections to this division? ”
After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the patriarch and the old scholar, and then looked at the eldest uncle, the second aunt and the father in turn, and saw that everyone had nothing to say, so he gave a salute to the head of Fan County.
Li Wuqi still didn't hear clearly, but he still said: "What I said is, what I said is." ”
Fan Xianling ignored him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a new person, it's very good!" ”
"Property analysis can be handled in this way, so ......, what about the 'no division of production'?" Li Tonglu asked.
"I wonder if I can ask my uncle to continue to take care of it?" Li asked. Li Yan turned his head in surprise, but saw that his eldest son nodded slightly to him, so he didn't speak as if nothing happened.
"Don't, don't, I've been in charge for so many years, and I should rest, rest." Li Su hurriedly waved his hand, and turned to Fan County's order: "Besides, if the imperial court issues an order one day, it will be ......." ”
"Don't bother the two masters." Fan Xianling smiled and said, "I think it's good that Yan Ruo is in charge for the time being." In this way, if it is really the imperial court, then it is not too late for you to hand over the selection, how about it? ”
"It's ......, it's fine." Li Sumian nodded in embarrassment.
At this time, Li Yan suddenly felt that Fan Xianling was giving him a look, and he was stunned and suddenly realized. Busy said: "Oh, the third room has been thought of, and I am ready to buy another courtyard to live in this county."
The eldest brother has worked hard for many years, and I don't think the ancestral house needs to be divided, and all of it is left to the long house. ”
Li Su expressed surprise, and quickly got up and said that he would give compensation, but Li Yanjian refused. This time it was the turn of Li Zhu, who didn't know it, to be surprised.
But he noticed the eye exchange between his father and Fan Xianling, thought about it, and stood there silently without saying a word.
"Mother, should we move out too?" Li Shuo turned around and discussed softly with the Gao family.
"Silly boy, what are we going to do with this wind?" Gao was very unhappy, not only because he felt that Li Shuo was too sincere and had no scheming, but also because Li Yan made her very passive.
You have done it all the good people, so that we can't go up or down! She bit her lip with anger, but the occasion was not suitable for her to speak, and she didn't know how to stop or refute it.
Seeing that his son was embarrassed, Gao twisted his veil for a long time, so he had to sigh and whisper in his son's ear:
"But, if we want to move out and live, we have to buy a house, there are so many people in our family, if you add that courtyard, wouldn't it cost nearly a hundred taels of silver?
Alas! Anyway, it's not comfortable for people to live under the eaves. Move, move! However, I have to talk to your uncle, and let him slow down, so we don't rush too much.
It takes time to find a new house, and it will take time to repair and whitewash, so it will take Chenguang! ”
As a rule, women should not be present at the men's meetings, but because Gorou was still young, he allowed Gao to come in.
She was worried that her son would be honestly bullied, but after listening to it for a long time, she felt that this method was acceptable, so she didn't say anything. After Da Lang finished speaking, she began to think about the taste.
Seeing Li Su waving his hand and saying that he could move out within three months, he boldly said:
"And the ...... of the master. The slave listened to it for a long time, and after the uncle went back to be an official, he was going to hand it over to the third uncle, so ...... Doesn't the second room have the right to ask? ”
"How can you speak like that, woman!" Li Tonglu blushed and slammed his cane on the ground and shouted unhappily.
"Yes, yes!" Li Wuqi also joined in the fun.
"It's okay, it's okay, Grandpa Seven doesn't have to worry about her." Li Su hurriedly explained, and then said to Gao:
"In this way, let's set a rule to take turns to manage each family, three years each.
For the first three years, I will be in charge first, and Gorou is still young, and after three years, or if the court revives me, I will hand it over to the third brother, and for the next three years, it will be handed over to Gorou.
If Gorou goes out to be an official in high school, and it is inconvenient for his younger siblings to come out, then he can ask a shopkeeper to take care of it.
In another three years, I should return to the long house, and if I am not at home, I will appoint a shopkeeper. Such an example, younger siblings, third brother, do you think it is feasible? ”
When he said this, it was appropriate for the two families to think about it, so they had nothing to say.
"Also, there's ...... What is ...... in my family? Gao suddenly felt that it was not good to say this in front of his son, so he did not continue.
"Hehe, brother and sister, don't worry, let's do one thing, one thing. When the big thing is over, it's easy to talk about the rest. ”
Li Su waved his hand. He knew what this stupid woman was going to say in a hurry, how could such a thing be said here in front of the patriarch and the county magistrate?
However, he himself has a "big event" that must be said here: "In front of the two elders in the clan and Fan Xianzun, I have a reluctant request to say to the third brother." ”
"Brother has something to say?" Li Yan was a little surprised, he didn't know what the other party was going to do, add conditions, or set preconditions?
So far, everything has been as Li Yan envisioned, and he is happy that everything is going according to him.
But Li Su's sudden interjection of this question suddenly made him nervous: "The younger brother listens, but the elder brother may as well talk about it." ”
"The third brother is not surprised, it's a good thing." Li Su glanced at Fan County's order, who was still smiling:
"You also know that there are only three daughters under my brother's knees, which is quite a pity. I see Erlang's character is elegant and handsome, and I have long liked it.
I don't know if the third brother can cut his love and put Erlang Chengxu under the door of the long house, I will treat him as a parent! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan was already stunned, he didn't expect his brother to propose to let Erlang succeed him today. He looked a little overwhelmed and looked back at his two sons.
Li Zhizao caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of his brother's mouth when he lowered his head, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
It seems that he knows, and may even have hooked up with Nagafang very early! Li Zhu took a deep breath to stabilize his mentality.
"Well, that's not a big deal, eh...... Could my brother please allow me to go back and discuss with the people in the house? Li Yan had no choice but to say this.
"That's a good thing." Li Wuqi nodded.
"Yes, first the long house worked tirelessly to propose an equal share, and then the third room took the initiative to give up the ancestral house, and now the long house is willing to be inherited by the second son of the third room, what kind of brotherly love is this?
The occurrence of such a thing in my Li clan is all due to the enlightenment of the saints! Li Tonglu lost no time shaking his head and agreed.
"Yes, yes!"
"Okay, good, it's really a good thing worth writing in the county chronicle! Brother and brother, this is an example! ”
Fan County Ling was also accommodating, and said: "Of course, you can go back and discuss with the people in the house, and everything is voluntary."
If you agree, choose a good day, and I will send a scrivener to witness and record it! ”
Li Jin stepped forward with joy when he heard this: "The junior thanked the boss first!" ”
Li Su and the others all smiled and nodded in approval, Gao and Li Shuo were dumbfounded, and Li Yan was embarrassed. Seeing that his father had not yet expressed his position, but his younger brother had snatched the talk, Li Zhu's face became even more gloomy.
Everyone discussed the details, such as the ancestral hall and the sacrificial field are still taken care of by the long house, etc., and finally asked Lao Xiucai to choose an auspicious day a few days later.
The plan has been decided, and Li Erlang took the initiative to assume the responsibility of secretary. He spread out the pen and paper, and wrote down the "Essentials of the Methods for the Analysis and Separation of the Property of the Yugan Li Family" according to the results of the discussion among the elders, noting:
The parents died, the discipline has been served, and the three rooms of the brothers are scheduled to be divided into households on October 2, the ninth year of Jingwu.
Then he handed it over to Li Shu to copy three copies, and each family held one.
The original is handed over to the patriarch for safekeeping, and according to this, on the day of separation, check whether there is any contradiction, and after writing the "Analysis of the Book of Lots" and "Separate Orders", etc., they will go to the county government to pay taxes (deed tax) and file together.
