Chapter 7 The bastard who took advantage of the fire

I don’t know if it was because Wang Fulin’s words were not nice, or if I really realized that it was unsafe to run alone to swim in the wild. For several days next time, Wang Fulin did not see this young man who knew him and did not know him again.

He didn't take it too seriously. As usual, after returning home after morning exercises, he found that there were two uninvited guests at the door. In the yard, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were rushing to feed a few chickens as if they were playing. The two ragged people stood outside the door separated by a wall, but they did not dare to go in rashly. Until they found Wang Fulin's arrival, a hint of surprise appeared on their faces and came up in a hurry.

You know me again, I don’t know you!

Seeing that these two people had never seen them in the village for several days, Wang Fulin felt a little pain in his head, and had to pretend to be polite and nodded slightly. He was a gift, so he didn't dare to beat him casually when he greeted him. But as soon as the two of them met, they lay down and kowtowed and called him a little official. At this time, Wang Erniang inside probably heard the movement outside, and took a basin of food for feeding chickens and went straight out of the door.

"Okay, I'll ignore you, you will just pester my brother! Who said that the young official has almost lost his fame and fortune, so he should be kind and reduce the rent of land. Now he still has the face to pester him?"

Wang Erniang raised her eyebrows and saw that the two of them were kneeling there and she put the food basin heavily at her feet. She put the food basin on her feet and said, "I'm not sympathetic enough for you? In that year, the rent was not collected at 60% of the amount. The family didn't want you to come and work all day long. At most, I would call you occasionally, but what about you? I followed my brother to Huizhou City before, but because of his words, I left my master and came back. How could I be a tenant servant like this?"

Thanks to the fierce Wang Erniang, I finally knew the identities of these people. It turned out that this was the legendary Wang family tenant servant!

Wang Fulin looked at these people and saw that they were scolded by Wang Erniang and could not speak. He was in the tenet of not knowing the situation and did not meddle in other people's business. What's more, Wang Erniang had just said that these two tenant servants even brought out the reason that he was about to lose fame and fortune, which shows his character and thickness.

Even these guys want to take advantage of the situation!

Sure enough, Wang Erniang had no intention of stopping at all, and pointed to one of the middle-aged men and cursed: "You have the face to come to the door? You know that the land in your family has been sold out, and the children left by the ex-wife are all sold out for people to do as a cow and horse. I owe a lot of debt to come to the door to ask for mercy. My mother then took you in, so that you can have a tiles on your head to live in, and married a wife. But what are you doing?"

"I actually took the food that should be paid for rent to bet! If you didn't see that you were good at farm work, who would want a bad gambling like you!"

Wang Erniang was qualified as a middle-aged tenant servant's daughter. At this moment, she cursed at the face, but the other party had no temper at all. She just paused her head and didn't dare to speak. The other person seemed to know that the master's second wife was not easy to provoke. Seeing that Wang Fulin was still standing aside, he hurriedly turned around and looked for the next breakthrough.

"Little official..."

"I don't understand the things in the family and the fields. Whatever Erniang said is what he said." Wang Fulin didn't give them the chance to get entangled and kicked the ball back to Wang Erniang.

Sure enough, Wang Erniang smiled because of her brother's trust, and then became even more proud. Seeing that her brother flashed into the door, she pointed at the two tenant servants and scolded her.

Wang Fulin heard her tone inside and could tell the strengths and weaknesses of the two people, and no one could even think of making a word. In the end, these two tenant servants who came to block the door early in the morning could not even say anything they wanted to beg for. How did they come and why did they leave reluctantly? When Wang Erniang came in without losing her temper, he asked, "What are they here to do?"

"It's not just to reduce the rent that was owed before! Live in our house and buried in our house in the future. My mother set the rent in the village, only 60% of the other family, but they still have to come to the door to try harder! I don't know that their lives are really hard, one is a bad gambling man; the other is already poor but still hooking up with a woman outside, and has been beaten to the house several times! The weather has been good in the past two years, and it's not a famine. During the famine years, who doesn't reduce the rent for the families with a lot of land in our Songmingshan Village? The three tenant servants in our family are reliable, and my mother is too kind to them!"

"It's all something that is lazy, so why should I be angry for them? Besides, when I scold them now and look back, I'm going to be even more angry if they shirk their responsibilities?"

Before Wang Fulin could speak, a sound suddenly came from outside. Then someone came uninvited and entered the door like this. It was Jin Bao's biological brother Wang Qiu.

Wang Qiu did not feel the uninvited guest at all. He smiled and called out his uncle to Wang Fulin. Seeing that Wang Fulin or Wang Erniang were frowning and unhappy when he entered the yard, as if he could issue an order to expel the guest anytime and anywhere, he quickly laughed and said, "Uncle, you will not go to the Sanbao Temple for nothing. I know you are recuperating, so I dare not disturb you for nothing. Seeing that the summer tax is going to be collected again, the government wants to send grain chiefs again. It is said that there are a lot of noise in the county yard houses. Some people say that they need to re-search households and select real households to be grain chiefs."

Just as those tenant servants came to the door before, and Wang Fulin gave Wang Erniang, who was familiar with the situation, he was also not very clear about the names of grain chiefs and households, so he simply remained silent. Seeing that Wang Erniang frowned slightly, but there was some doubt in his eyes, he suddenly realized that Wang Erniang, who was waiting to be a good person, obviously didn't know whether he was the one who was in the boudoir.

I think so, being able to manage tenant servants can be explained by the fact that they were influenced by their mothers in the past, but even Wu himself may not be able to understand the job of being a food boss at home!

Wang Qiu was quietly observing the reactions of the brother and sister. Seeing their expressions, he was secretly happy and immediately continued: "Now it is different from the time when the beginning of the country. In the early days of the country, we have a total of 15 grain districts in She County. Each eleven miles is a father and son. Brothers are one after another. We only need to listen to the big grain chiefs in Qianqiu. But now no one in the big household is willing to be the big grain chiefs, so we have to send small grain chiefs in each mile, and there are two families to help. It is not that I am exaggerating. There are nine out of ten families in our village, and there are hundreds of acres of fertile land in our family, and there are not many of them. Among them, the more than 100 acres of land in my uncle's family is the first."

Hearing this, Wang Fulin felt 10,000 divine beasts trampled by. Although he had not been to those rich families in the clan with picturesque gardens and houses like clouds these days, he also knew that they were hundreds of times richer than their own family, and even the clan leader's family was much more wealthy! Moreover, he was a student and a scholar. Isn't he exempted from taxes and service if he had fame and fortune these days? Whoever is the grain chief has anything to do with him!

Wang Qiu seemed to see through Wang Fulin's thoughts and added another fire: "Uncle probably thinks that Mr. Nanming and other uncles have great family backgrounds, and it is not your turn. But my uncle used to study and some situations are not very clear. Just like my uncle, who was selling salt in Huguang, Mr. Nanming's brothers and even elders, and many of them are salt merchants in Lianghuai. The family's family background is in the salt industry, not in the fields. Even if there is land, they are in Lianghuai or even Jiangnan. There are very few lands in Huizhou Prefecture, so of course they are not the turn. Although my uncle has become a student now, isn't there any rumors outside?"

Wang Erniang was immediately furious: "Wang Qiu, what do you mean?"

After breaking Wang Fulin's fame and fortune was in danger, Wang Qiu quickly apologized for the sake of increasing his persuasion, and then said humbly: "I don't mean that. I mean, even if my uncle is a student, he can be exempted from taxes and service, but according to the previous rules, he is exempted from miscellaneous service, and the official service of the Lijia family is inevitable."

Although he still doesn't understand, he pretends to understand something like this. Thinking about Wang Fulin's success in school and society, how could he show his timidity in front of Wang Qiu at this moment? So he simply asked quietly: "So, what are your good ideas?"

Wang Qiu was so angry that he was waiting for this sentence! He tried his best to suppress his joy, and then said mysteriously: "I'm not hiding it to my uncle. I stayed in Huizhou City a few days ago and happened to have a good relationship with Liu Sili, a household house, and promised to make up for a bookkeeping job. Therefore, I also learned a lot from him. In history, as long as I pass the exam and get rid of taxes and servitude, someone in the clan will definitely send the land to his name. This is called offering, in order to exempt taxes. Therefore, my husbands like my uncle, and even the juren and Jinshi, have more and more land, but there are exceptions."

He paused slightly and said meaningfully: "That is to avoid being appointed as a superior household, pay less taxes, and at the same time, avoid being sent by the chief of grain to make a fortune. Therefore, he sent the land under his name to the place of relatives and friends and tenants, turning the large household into a middle household, or even a small household. This is called flying sprinkler!"

The show meat is finally here!

Wang Fulin only understood a little bit of the trick of sending grain bosses, but he could understand Wang Qiu's intentions. Sure enough, Wang Qiuhua said all the sweet words next, nothing more than urging him to send the more than 100 acres of land in his family to the name of tenants and relatives. The tenants did not have any household registration after betraying him, so he did not have to worry about them taking away their property. As for the place where they sent it to his relatives and friends, he recommended himself. Finally, he even said with a saliva: "My uncle is now a student, and he can also be exempted from two mates and one mate in addition to his old uncle. If he can pull me, I will definitely do this and not let my uncle worry about it!"

Bastard, I really think I am a three-year-old child!

Wang Fulin narrowed his eyes and suddenly yawned, saying lazily: "Since the time when the grain was sent to the chieftain is not yet here, I won't be in a hurry. It's not too late to decide when my parents come back. I still have to study behind closed doors and not leave you anymore. Second sister, prepare to close the door."

Wang Erniang was confused when Wang Qiu said that just now. At this moment, when her brother spoke, she immediately agreed and immediately said to Wang Qiu: "My brother said it, let's talk about it again, you go back first!"

Wang Qiu's face suddenly froze and wanted to continue lobbying. Seeing Wang Fulin stretching and walking in, even if he was unwilling to give up, he could only return helplessly. When he crossed the threshold and came out, the two doors behind him were tightly closed. He looked back at the old mansion, which was not old and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Wang Fulin, why are you better than me? I’m shameless. The charge of buying a nephew as a slave has already started. You can wait and see!

In the door, Wang Fulin ordered Wang Qi to be careful of the portal, immediately called Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei to come in front of him, and whispered: "If I go out in the future, you will close the door. Whether Wang Qiu or the tenant servants, they will block the door, and no one is allowed to be put in."

Wang Erniang didn't care about Wang Qiu, but she didn't dare to let go of the tenant servants, and immediately defended: "Brother, when I was there, I also often those tenant servants..."

"This matter is not discussed! Especially that bad gambling man, he is afraid that people and dogs will jump over the wall! As for Wang Qiu, ignore him for now!"

Wang Fulin interrupted his sister without saying a word. Seeing that he disagreed with it at first, and then under his own eyes, he had to agree. He bent his fingers and realized something.

In the blink of an eye, he had woken up for more than a month. He had almost recovered himself. The external fame and fortune have been accumulating for so long. Even Wang Qiu dared to come to him to make a decision. It is estimated that he should soon enter a substantial climax. He died early and was reborn. Only by solving that annoyance can he live a peaceful life!
