"Brother-in-law, what are the gains from reviewing the reprint document this day?" Chen Baiqi asked while passing the bag to Ju.
Seeing that she was covered in dust after returning from this trip, she could not hide her tiredness in her eyebrows. Therefore, she did not want to mention the troubles that made her embarrassed, but she asked in person, and then she thought about it and said: "There are 48 naturalized concubines, and fourteen people were lost during the riot. Three of them were from Dongmai Pingling, Yangyu, and the remaining ones were from Beixia, Baoding, and a few... Chen Yu."
Beixia and Baoding... Chen Baiqi recalled that it should be under the jurisdiction of Beiting County.
As for "Chen Yu"... it is Danyang, the capital of Chu.
One is where the Northern Geng Chu family, who must have a engagement with Chen Jiaoniang, and the other is where the Chen family is...
Chen Baiqi lowered his eyes and smiled, walked through the winding path of the courtyard corridor, and asked, "Where is that person named Wu Niang?"
Seeing that Chen Jiaoniang's expression was dull, Ji Yun couldn't tell whether she realized the complexity of the shuttle.
"She is a Baoding native."
"Oh, her family background?"
"The rest of her words are silent."
"That's because my brother-in-law's methods are too gentle. Let me retrial myself later." Chen Baiqi smiled faintly, and his lips curled up and his face was out of reach.
Ji Yun's face was slightly stunned and she was speechless for a long time.
From then on, he knew that Chen Jiaoni had already known everything, but he did not expect her performance to be like this. Under all the expressions of wind and clear clouds, he had a heart that was colder and harder than a man.
Outside the main hall of the central hall, a black paint was smeared, and the tiles and the courtyard was brighter. Chen Baiqi took the veil from a maid, put down the white gauze roll covered by the brim of the hat, glanced at Si Jiang and Ju: "There are so many people, you don't have to follow me."
Chen Baiqi followed Ji Yun slowly to avoid the front hall, and walked around the courtyard and entered the room through the side door. The room and the main hall were blocked by exquisitely carved bamboo curtains. The candles inside and outside were shining, so that they could be seen vaguely and vaguely distinguished.
Chen Baiqi straightened his back and knelt on the reed mat, listening to Chen's father talking to several men with strange accents in the front hall. Compared with Chen's father Wen's low voice, the other people's voices were rough and strong.
Chen Baiqi knew that they used the official language of Chu. Generally speaking, Di belonged to the Danyang Jiangsu accent. Although it was not very standard, it was also "working" to put out the superior tone.
Chen’s father and Chen Baiqi are authentic Danyang people, and their ancestors are from generation to generation. In fact, they present the Chudu genealogy in front of Chen’s father. These people are as ridiculous as if they were imitating each other.
Ji Yun went out from the side door to invite Chen's father. Chen's father was "teached a lesson" so that his head drooped. When he heard that Chen Jiaoniang had returned, his eyes lit up. He quickly accused the people and left Ji Yun outside to entertain guests. He swung his sleeves and wiped his sweat to the inner room. When he saw Chen Baiqi, he pouted his mouth and his eyes were red with aggrieved.
"Jiaojiao'er, these thieves are so bullying!" He rushed to her and complained hard.
Chen Baiqi probably heard that he was bullied by someone with a lip and a lip. Fortunately, he was not worried about his face and cried in public. She patted him on the back comfortably, and said calmly: "Who is here?"
When Chen's father heard the sound, he looked at Chen Baiqi with tears in his eyes. The girl's thin eyebrows, apricot eyes, facial features were vaguely visible at this moment. The gentle lady's face was still childish, but her deep and insightful eyes and calm and soothing tone made people unable to believe that she was less than fifteen years old, but she gave people such a strong feeling. She was wise and wise, calm and steadily.
He sniffed, gritted his teeth angrily, "The uncle of Chu Shang, a commoner, and Li Zhubo of Beiting County, have two cousins of Chu Shang."
"What's the matter?"
Chen's father was shocked when he heard this, and clenched the corners of his clothes.
Chen Baiqi replied on his behalf: "Break off the engagement? In what name?"
Seeing that she was a little surprised, Chen's father was still hesitant and unwilling to say it, but now the paper probably couldn't bear the heat. He finally lowered his head and murmured: "He, Master Li said that I would sell my family and go to the county government to handle relevant procedures. However, the front chief of Pingling County government has been moved, and the later chief of the post has been sent to me. I... I didn't know that it would be so troublesome. He said that if the household registration was eliminated, all the land tax would still be paid as usual. At the end of June, a new round of tax collection of food will begin in the country, but Chenjiabao had just suffered a hardship, so how could there be surplus grain to pay the tax..."
"Just just now, Chu promised that if we were willing to break off the engagement, they would pay the taxes for the year on Chenjiabao and immediately reorganize the official office procedures for land purchase and sale and relocation for us."
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu Hou State introduced reforms and new monarchical centralization systems. Among them, Chu State was implementing a preliminary tax acre called "Taxing acre" and has gradually abolished the well-field system.
The so-called initial tax acre means that one tenth of the total income should have been paid in the past. Now, the division of public and private fields has been abolished, and one tenth of the harvest is drawn from each acre.
In other words, if the part he sold was not registered with the state, the state still obeyed his land. Even if he had signed a contract with others in private, he would still bear the tax he should pay.
Of course, since the state does not recognize it, can this contract of buying and selling land be fooled and ignored?
This does not work, because when signing an important contract, both parties will definitely invite a person with a certain right to speak on the spot to witness it. If you accept the contract with the other party, it is certain that it is certain, and if you don’t want to count, then you will return the contract to others as much as possible.
But Qiding was looted on the night of the Chenjiabao riot, and asked Chen's father to pay for others what to pay, it is now a difficult situation.
Chen Baiqi frowned: "It only took a few days for you to sell your private land. How could it be transmitted to the ears of the Northern Gang Chu family, thousands of miles away? The selling of land belongs to your and the buyer's privacy..."
When Chen heard this, his father bowed his head guiltily: "Actually, you didn't say anything about it before... The person who sold the land was Chu's wife in the middle, and they were witnesses..."
Chen Baiqi's face stagnated, and there is nothing I don't understand now.
She was silent with her dark eyebrows and eyes, and her slender jade fingers were casually slashing on the reed mat lines - she felt that everything was finally connected into a line.
Wu Niang advised him to sell, Yiqi, and riot, Bei Gan came to him and broke up with the engagement.
This Chu family set up a big plan waiting for them.
Chen's father was nervous by Chen Baiqi's silent attitude that was not happy or sad. He was sweating like rain, but he didn't even dare to move.
After a long time, Chen Baiqi looked at Chen's father and sighed: "Father, let's break the engagement."
Chen's father looked up excitedly: "No! Once this marriage is retired, your reputation will definitely be greatly damaged. In this remote Pingling County, not to mention the aristocratic families, even the poor and common people......"
Chen Baiqi analyzed to him rationally: "Father, as the saying goes, "Father, it is said that rituals will be given first and then soldiers. This trip is for them. If we refuse, they will make the matter public and leave as soon as they go out. Chenjiabao is already notorious just by selling land and rioting. The girl still has reason to be resigned. Chu's plan is not sure of another plan. This is not difficult for them, but Chenjiabao can no longer afford to bet. Instead of doing this, it is better to sacrifice a marriage that men hate women and resent to calm the war."
After hearing her wise words, Chen's father covered his face and cried: "But what should you do? You will be in trouble soon. I'm sorry for you for your father, I'm confused for you for your father..."
Chen Baiqi's eyes were as dark as varnish. She only chuckled and turned around and left. As she stepped out of the side door, the shadow cast by the door beam covered her face, and the calm face suddenly became cold-
