Chapter 496: If you don’t believe in pigs, how can you believe in outsiders?
"Listen to what your elder brother has to say."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Mr. Zhu stood up at this time. In his heart, Mr. Zhu still considered the entire Zhu family, at least he thought so. Zhu Ping'an was his proud grandson, and he was the one who did not want Zhu Ping'an.
Something happened, but it has already happened, and now the most important thing is to consider the whole family.
Apart from Zhu Ping'an, the only one who can honor the Zhu family is the boss.
In addition, after listening to what the boss said when he first arrived, Mr. Zhu still agreed with his proposal. After all, he is a scholar, well-informed, does not panic when encountering problems, and has a quick mind.
This is the Ming Dynasty, the peak of the feudal dynasty, an era when feudal etiquette and patriarchal patriarchy were dominant. Mr. Zhu is the head of the Zhu family. Although the Zhu Ping'an family has been separated, the identity of the Zhu family has been wiped out.
Can't fall off.
Mr. Zhu spoke, and although his mother, Mrs. Chen, was gritting her teeth angrily towards her uncle Zhu Shouren, she could only worry about Mr. Zhu and resisted the urge to have an attack.
Seeing that Mr. Zhu was in control of the situation, his uncle Zhu Shouren picked up the tea cup with one hand and pulled his sleeves with the other. He took a sip of tea in a very polite and elegant manner, then put down the tea cup, pretending to be thinking about the future of the Zhu family, and cleared his mind.
He spoke with a serious voice:
"Second brother, younger brothers and sisters, I can understand how you feel. He'er is the Qilin son of our Zhu family, and I don't want anything to happen to him. But the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. When things happen,
When it happens, we have to think about the future, and I think a clever person like a pig will definitely do this."
The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes?!
When he heard these words, sparks almost burst out from Chen's eyes as he glared at his uncle Zhu Shouren, and his anger almost ignited the surrounding air.
"I wonder if my second brother has ever calculated how much taxes are paid on your family's property every year?" Uncle Zhu Shouren turned a blind eye to Chen's gaze. He looked at Zhu's father calmly and asked.
"My family doesn't have to pay taxes." Father Zhu shook his head slightly.
"Yes, you don't have to pay taxes now, but what about in the future?" Uncle Zhu Shouren stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said, "You don't have to pay taxes because of Xie'er's fame. But if Xie'er is gone, you will have to pay taxes."
You need to pay taxes and bear corvee labor."
Xie'er isn't here?!
This sentence stimulated Mrs. Chen again, and she gritted her teeth. She glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren coldly, and said coldly, "Brother, I don't need to worry about it, I have a six-grade peace certificate."
The uncle shook his head when he heard this. He sighed and said, "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, my sister-in-law, your sixth-grade Anren imperial decree only provides you with ceremonial treatment, such as not kneeling before officials, etc. However, it has no real power, let alone exemption from taxes and corvee.
Just say it."
"So what." Chen said in a very impatient tone.
"Not counting the tens of thousands of acres of land that the Li family received as dowry today, even if your family owns the land, if you pay taxes, it will cost you at least a hundred taels of silver a year. This is not a small sum."
Zhu Shouren said in an exaggerated tone.
Although his uncle Zhu Shouren didn't know the specific amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family, he did know the approximate amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family. After Zhu Ping'an passed the exam to become a scholar, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased land once. After Zhu Ping'an passed the imperial examination, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased land once.
The land was purchased at one time, this time the amount was very large, and many people donated land. The total amount was not a small amount. In addition, after Zhu Ping'an won the number one scholar, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased even more land. That's just counting.
For these lands, the tax would cost hundreds of taels of silver.
The more land, the more taxes. This is an obvious truth. Zhu's father glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren and said nothing.
"This is just your inherent land. If you add in the 10,000 acres of land that the Li family received as dowry today, the tax will have to be doubled several times." After the uncle Zhu Shouren said it again, he sighed with his mouth wide open.
The dowry property? It was the dowry of the second daughter-in-law Li Shu, and it was Li Shu’s private house! It was Li Shu’s body, and it was only Li Shu’s personal property.
"Brother, what do you think?" Mr. Chen glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren and asked sarcastically.
"It's not a high opinion, but it is a method. At first, the property did not need to pay taxes because of Xie'er's fame. Now if we find another person with a reputation and transfer the land to his name, wouldn't it be possible to still be exempted from taxes?
Come on." Uncle Zhu Shouren's eyes were shining brightly, and his tone was full of inflammatory suggestions.
"Where can I find such a person?" Chen asked knowingly, with contempt in her tone.
"After all, you have so much land. If you look for an outsider, you won't be at ease. It's better to find an acquaintance. The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in the battle. If a family doesn't speak the same language, they can't write two Zhu characters in one stroke. There's no comparison.
It's more reassuring for the family. It's better to transfer your land to my name. In this way, I will be exempted from taxes and corvee, and your land does not need to pay taxes. The land is still your land, but it is in my name. I don't
If you don't move a penny, you can save hundreds of taels of silver every year, so there's nothing wrong with it."
Hearing this, the irony in Chen's eyes became even stronger, and the fox's tail was exposed. He talked and went around, and it turned out that the idea was to get the family's property.
I really look down on you, how old you are, if you don’t study hard and review your lessons, you think about these crooked ideas all day long, and never think about working hard with your own hands. For decades, all the food has gone into the dog’s belly. When Xuel was in school, he was already
Tongsheng, when Hugh'er was admitted to Tongsheng, he was still a Tongsheng, Hugh'er was admitted to be a scholar, a scholar, and now he has been admitted to the top prize. His uncle is still a Tongsheng. If he doesn't work hard, I think if he is given a few more decades, he will not be able to do it.
Don't even think about becoming a scholar.
"Oh, the land will be transferred to you and you will be exempted from taxes. Well, why not transfer the land that I got as a dowry today to you as well. Oh, let me think about it, by the way, there are also shops in the town. Well, today
Many of the shops that I brought here as a dowry should also be transferred to yours." Mrs. Chen said calmly.
What?
Even the dowry is transferred?
Are there any stores that will be transferred as well?
Happiness came so suddenly that uncle Zhu Shouren didn't believe what he heard. He thought that Mrs. Chen was the most difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen agreed after saying it once. As expected, Mrs. Chen was so excited that she had long hair and short knowledge.
The uncle's breathing was rapid, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
The eldest aunt and Zhu Ping'anjun's wife on the side all had smiles on their faces.
"Second brother and sister, are you kidding me?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked in disbelief.
"You were the one who made the joke first." Mrs. Chen sneered, showing contempt.
"You" uncle.
"If I remember correctly, my eldest brother is not a scholar now, right? You still have to pay the taxes. Let's wait until the uncle becomes a scholar." Mrs. Chen glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren and mocked with disdain.
"In my opinion, I am sure that I will be a scholar this time. Mr. Liu and the others have made promises to me. In addition, I have also been recommended to the stewards of the academic and political houses, and those who have given their names are invited. As usual, all the posts with names are given.
All of them are stable." Uncle Zhu Shouren said excitedly, with the confidence of a talented scholar like someone searching for something.
It's the same old thing again, what is stable and how difficult it is to find a relationship. These words have been said by his uncle since the first time he took the scholar examination. He has said it no less than ten times. Every time he swears by it, every time he fails.
Only the old man and the old lady believed it.
Looking for a relationship and going through the back door is just a crooked way. I never want to rely on myself.
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"Let's wait until the eldest brother passes the scholar examination." Zhu's father glanced at his eldest brother and said in a deep voice.
"You don't know what Xie'er committed in the capital, do you? Xie'er is confused." Uncle Zhu Shouren would not give up until he achieved his goal. He threw out another plan when he failed. He said with a heavy face, and then he impeached Zhu Ping'an with a memorial.
The story of killing Liang and taking credit for offending Yan Song was repeated again, exaggerating the danger.
"What Xie'er did must be right, I believe in Xie'er." Mrs. Chen was unmoved.
"Why? Xie'er was deceived by others, General Zhu Shouren." Uncle Zhu Shouren repeated the trick he used to convince Mr. Zhu.
"I don't believe in pigs, how can I still believe in outsiders?" Mrs. Chen choked her uncle Zhu Shouren, which was completely different from Mr. Zhu's original reaction.
"We are a family with Hugh'er, and we naturally share joys and sorrows. As Hugh'er's parents, we are not capable, but we are not afraid of trouble. If someone comes to cause trouble for this, we will seek justice for Hugh'er.
" Father Zhu also replied in a deep voice.
Uncle Zhu Shouren
"That tax is not a small number." Mr. Zhu reminded.
"Dad, firstly, my eldest brother is not yet a scholar, and secondly, the produce from the land is always more than the taxes. If we have something to eat from now on, you two will not be hungry." Chen explained calmly. (To be continued.)
