Chapter 500 If you don’t believe in Zhe’er, how can you believe in outsiders?
“Listen to your elder brother.”
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Mr. Zhu stood up at this time, but Mr. Zhu still felt in his heart For the sake of the entire Zhu family, at least that's what he thought. Zhu Ping'an is his proud grandson, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Zhu Ping'an, but things have already happened, and now the most important thing is to consider the whole family.
Except for 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, not panicked when encountering problems, and has a quick mind.
This was 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 cannot be erased.
After Mr. Zhu spoke, her mother, Mrs. Chen, gritted her teeth angrily towards her uncle Zhu Shouren, but 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 sleeve with the other. He took a sip of tea in a very polite and elegant manner, then put down the tea cup and put on a look of thinking about the future of the Zhu family. He cleared his throat and said seriously:
"Second brother, younger brother and sister, your I can understand my feelings. He'er is the Qilin son of our Zhu family, and I don't want anything to happen to He'er. But the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. When something happens, we have to prepare for the future. After thinking about it, I think someone as smart as a pig must be like this."
The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune? !
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 and 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 Hugh's fame, but if Hugh'er If he is gone, you will have to pay taxes and bear the corvee.”
The pig is not here? !
This sentence stimulated Mrs. Chen again, and she gritted her teeth. She glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren coldly, and said coldly, "I don't need to worry about it, brother, I have a sixth-grade peace certificate."
The uncle shook his head when he heard this and sighed. He took a breath and said, "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, my brother and sister, your sixth-grade Anren's imperial decree only provides you with ceremonial treatment, such as not kneeling before officials, etc. However, it has no real power, and there is no exemption from taxes and corvee."
< br>"So what." Chen's tone was very impatient.
"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, you will have to pay at least a hundred taels of silver a year. This is terrible. It's not a small amount," Uncle Zhu Shouren said in an exaggerated tone.
Although his uncle Zhu Shouren did not know the specific amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family, he did know the general amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family. After Zhu Ping'an passed the examination to become a scholar, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased land once, and Zhu Ping'an passed the imperial examination. Later, Zhu Ping'an's family purchased land again. 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 first prize, the land purchased by Zhu Ping'an's family was even more. Much more. Even if we only count these lands, the tax would be over a hundred taels of silver.
It is obvious that the more land there is, the more taxation there will be. Father Zhu glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren but said nothing.
"This is just your inherent land. If you add the 10,000 acres of land that the Li family is dowrying 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.
Dowry land? That was the dowry of the second daughter-in-law Li Shu, and it was Li Shu’s private house! It is Li Shu's body and property that belongs only to Li Shu.
"What do you think, brother?" Chen glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren and asked sarcastically.
"It's not a good idea, but it is still 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 merit and fame and transfer the land to his name, Can we still be exempted from taxes?" Uncle Zhu Shouren's eyes flashed and he suggested in a provocative tone.
"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, a family can't write two things if they don't speak the same language. There is nothing more reassuring than a family. Why not transfer your property to my name? This way I will be exempted from taxes and corvee. "Servant, you don't need to pay taxes on your land. It's still your land, but it's in my name. I don't need to pay any taxes. I save hundreds of taels of silver every year. What can I do?"
Hearing this, The irony in Chen's eyes became even stronger, and the fox's tail was exposed. After talking and going around, 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 relying on your own hands to work hard. For decades, all the food has gone into the dog’s belly. He was already a Tongsheng when Xue'er started school. He was still a Tongsheng when Xue'er was admitted to Tongsheng. Xue'er was admitted to be a scholar and a scholar, and now he is the number one scholar. His uncle was still a Tongsheng. If he doesn't work hard like this, I don't think he will be able to become a scholar if he is given a few decades.
"Oh, the land will be transferred to you, exempt from taxes. Well, why not transfer the land that I got as a dowry today to you. Oh, let me think about it, by the way, there are also people in the town "My shop, well, many of the shops that I came here with today will 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 his uncle Zhu Shouren didn’t believe what he heard. He thought Mrs. Chen was the most difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen agreed after saying it once. Sure enough, it was hair Long experience but short of knowledge, the excited uncle was breathing rapidly 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 with contempt.
"Your" uncle.
"If I remember correctly, the eldest brother is not a scholar now, is he? You still have to pay the taxes. Let's wait until the uncle becomes a scholar." Chen glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren and said very He sneered disdainfully.
"In my opinion, I am sure to be a scholar this time. Mr. Liu and the others have made promises to me. In addition, I have also been recommended to the administrators of academics and politicians, and they have left their names. As a rule, all those who put their name on it have passed the test," said the uncle Zhu Shouren very excitedly, with the confidence of being a talented person.
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, and he has said it no less than ten times. Every time I swear, I fail every time. Only the old man and the old lady believe it.
Looking for relationships and going through the back door is just a crooked way. You never want to rely on yourself.
Ms. Chen rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"Let's wait until the eldest brother passes the scholar examination." Father Zhu glanced at his eldest brother and said in a deep voice.
"You still don't know what Shi'er committed in the capital? You're confused?" Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't give up until he achieved his goal. He threw out another one when his plan failed. He said with a heavy face, and then The story of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment and impeachment for killing Liang and taking credit for offending Yan Song was repeated again while exaggerating the danger.
"What She'er did must be right, I believe in She'er." Mrs. Chen was unmoved.
"Why? Xie'er was deceived by others, the general." Uncle Zhu Shouren told the old man Zhu again.
"I don't believe in pigs, how can I trust outsiders?" Mrs. Chen choked her uncle Zhu Shouren, which was completely different from Mr. Zhu's original reaction.
“We and Shi’er are a family, and we naturally share joys and sorrows. As Shi’er’s parents, we are not capable, but we are not afraid of trouble. If someone comes to cause trouble for this, we will do it for him. "Xie'er seeks justice." Zhu's father also replied in a deep voice.
Uncle Zhu Shouren.
"That tax is not a small number." Mr. Zhu reminded.
"Dad, firstly, my eldest brother has not yet been selected as 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 lightly. (End of this chapter)
