Chapter 229 Those who see have a share
Because of such a thing as donating money to fight tigers, for rich people, it can be said that killing two birds with one stone is a great thing! The so-called "double eagles":
The first carving is the same as the role of doing good deeds in ordinary times, and mortals in the secular world generally believe that doing more good deeds can bring blessings to themselves and their families, and this donation is also the so-called "breaking wealth and avoiding disasters"!
The second eagle is to get a good reputation, this kind of big thing to fight the tiger, the local repercussions are also great, and it is also a political achievement of the local parent official, which is to be reported to the imperial court for commendation!
Such a big event as fighting tigers should be written into the local chronicles by serious Ba'er, and they can go down in history! These rich people who donate money must leave their names in the local chronicles in order of the number of donations!
On the contrary, those who participated in the tiger fight, because of the large number of people, will not be written into the local chronicles, only a few leading figures will be written, and others will be given the title of "a certain place and nearby mountain people"!
In fact, the personnel who participated in the tiger fight, in addition to the tiger meat, the tiger fighting tools will not be taken back after they are used up, and they are also owned by the owner, some of these weapons are knives, guns and iron, some are wooden sticks, and long-range attack weapons such as bows and crossbows!
No matter what kind of weapon it is, they will not take it out and use it again, they are all treasured and passed down from generation to generation in the family: "This is the weapon that ancestor so-and-so used to fight tigers back then!"
In addition to being a symbol of honor, these weapons are also said to have a magical effect on warding off evil spirits!
It turned out that the tiger that was killed this time, drinking water in a mountain stream, was accidentally discovered by a hunter in Cai Jiachong, and this hunter came back to report the news to the head of the Cai family in accordance with the ancestral rules!
The local people organized by the Cai family patriarch to hunt this tiger, and there were more than 100 people who participated, and everyone was on the scene, waiting for the patriarch and a few of their leading figures to work out a plan for the distribution of loot!
Since He Yuanying came, he was not in a hurry to go back, but let go of his divine sense and listened to them talk about the plan for distributing tiger meat.
Although it is also a very rare thing to kill a tiger, there is no need to discuss the distribution plan, because since ancient times, there has been a distribution principle of "seeing and having a share"!
And the duty of those leading figures of the organizing committee is to determine the order in which they receive the loot according to the number of participants and the size of their merits!
But because of Cai Shiyi's sudden addition, he picked up a wooden stick and killed the tiger, which made the organizing committee more difficult for the people of the organizing committee, whether Cai Shiyi should be allocated tiger meat!
Cai Shiyi, also called Cai Frustrated, is the scholar who beat the tiger to death with a wooden stick just now! Because the pronunciation of "frustrated" and "eleven" is exactly the same, most of the countrymen do not know how to read, so naturally it doesn't matter if you are "eleven" or "frustrated"!
He Yuanying also thought that this scholar killed the tiger because a family member or friend was injured by the tiger, and the killing of the tiger was purely to get angry, but it turned out that he came to mix a trophy!
After the story of "Cai Shiyi killed the tiger" spread in ten miles and eight towns, it became a household name, and it was regarded as a joke, and it has been passed down all the time! It has become a famous allusion of Cai Jiachong, and it is often used to describe the people who sit back and enjoy it, which is very vivid!
Although the people in the mountains are not very rich, they have the most important face, especially the scholars! Cai Frustration is also a student, and if he can do such an act, it is almost a scoundrel!
Although Patriarch Cai is the person in charge, he also has a lot of complaints about his nephew's approach, after all, this is not an internal matter of the family, and he does not dare to make decisions on his own.
Patriarch Cai submitted the issue of whether to give Cai frustrated tiger meat to the organizing committee for a joint decision, and to his surprise, no one expressed his opinion after it was raised!
More than a dozen people in the organizing committee, not only did not a single one put forward opinions for approval or opposition, but also no one spoke, and it was cold for a while!
After a while, a villager surnamed Wang finally came out to speak, but he raised a question that had nothing to do with this issue, that is, the question of whether to collect donations, no matter what, how could someone speak!
Regarding the issue of giving Cai Shiyi points of tiger meat, I don't know who took the lead in saying "let the patriarch call the shots", and the people present simply unanimously stated that the patriarch would be the master!
It turns out that the people in the mountains have a good face, and of course they don't want to easily refute the face of others, although Cai Fuyi's reputation is not very good, and the prestige of the "dog-headed military division" is only enjoyed among those ruffians, but no one wants to offend him for no reason!
It doesn't matter if you give Cai Frustrated or not, the main thing is to see if the rules set by the ancestors are bad!
Although Cai Frustrated was fighting a dead tiger, according to the distribution principle of "those who see have a share", it is naturally not against the rules to participate in the distribution!
None of these people with heads and faces put forward the opinion of agreeing to give Cai Frustrated a piece of tiger meat, not because they couldn't make up their minds, but because they didn't agree to give it in their hearts! Otherwise, they would all compete to speak and agree, be a good person, and earn a favor!
They didn't dare to raise objections, but in their hearts, they were still quite afraid of Cai Shiyi's name as a "dog-headed military advisor"!
In the end, it was the head of the Cai family who made the decision, and gave Cai Frustrated a share of tiger meat and earned a favor! The reason is that the rule of the older generation is that "those who see have a share", not to mention that Cai Frustrated also beat the tiger to death!
Now that the distribution plan has been decided, a butcher with amazing skill stepped forward and called two young men to work on it, peel off the tiger's skin completely, remove the bones, and then start to divide the meat!
This butcher's skill is very good, although this tiger is not small, he has to divide the meat into more than 100 portions, and the weight of each piece of tiger meat is difficult to grasp.
The butcher accurately divided the tiger meat into three grades, the first grade was only a dozen servings, a little more than two catties, which was specially distributed to the organizing committee personnel.
There are more than forty copies of the second grade, about one and a half catties, which are distributed to those hunters who have made a greater contribution.
The third grade is the most, there are as many as sixty parts, but the weight is only about a catty, and these are distributed to the nearby villagers who participated!
This division was fairly fair, and everyone was very happy to accept it! Because the villagers just made a lot of fun, although each of them hit such a stick, they did not make any great effort!
Compared with Cai Shiyi, there is not much difference in the size of the output, and even Cai Shiyi has more than most people, the key is the difference between the life and death of the tiger. They are all beneficiaries of the "those who see it" distribution rule!
The patriarch of the Cai family took the lead in stepping forward, scanning his eyes back and forth at the larger portion of tiger meat a few times, before picking the one he thought was the best, holding it in his hand, and then began to call people to receive their tiger meat in the order of the list.
