Jiang Shiwu said boredly: Yes, after Brother Xu moved to live in his uncle's house, my cousin became a little uncomfortable alone, and my uncle always came to talk and let my cousin live with him.said that he didn't live in his uncle's house and lived in his aunt's house for many years, what is it like?
Cut, as far as his house is serious, who wants to live there, my cousin simply went out and rented a yard, and moved in two days, which is still very close to you.These Lin Fangxu have actually heard Shang Tan say it a long time ago, and what Uncle Shang said is not wrong, but it is also a fact that his temperament does not get along, it is nothing to live in the short term, and it is better to forget it in the long term.Jiang Shiwu chatted with Lin Fangxu about the training in the Beijing camp for a while, and said what kind of formation his little brother had done, and he was seen by the eldest brother of the emperor during training a few days ago, and won the commendation of the eldest brother of the emperor.But in his opinion, the little brother is like a joke, the three little brothers stand back to back, around and around as if dancing, of course, his little brother naturally disagrees with him, and because of what he said, he won't play with him for a while.After Lin Fangxu heard him complain and play, he left someone for lunch before sending him out, before getting on the horse, Jiang Shiwu patted his head, took a purse out of his arms, and said with a happy face: Look at me!
I almost forgot, my father has been forcing Xiaoyun to be a female celebrity recently, this purse was made by him himself, and when I went out, he asked me to bring it to you.Lin Fangxu took the purse, almost blurted out and scolded, saying some boring gossip and nonsense, but you almost forgot such an important matter!
What an unreliable guy!
A palm-sized purse with a base made of indigo satin embroidered with a red and tillian?
Could it also be a peony flower?
Of course, such a big flower is definitely not plum blossoms, peach blossoms or the like, nor can it be living creatures such as mandarin ducks and white cranes, in short, no matter what it is, it looks good anyway.Lin Fangxu put away the purse with great care, and when he thought about it and asked Lin Fangyuan to find someone to hang it on his waist, he didn't know how the dark tide was surging all over the south of the Yangtze River.Shang Zhongyan's master and apprentice have already been contacted, and most of the like-minded people hit it off, but a few of them seem to be a little hesitant and move too much, which also makes others faintly aware of some situations, but they don't know.Just when this dark tide was surging and the crisis was everywhere, Xu Zhao hesitated and said: "Master, do you want to send a letter to Brother Xu, he is now a member of the Zhongshu House, and he can help with the situation when the time comes."
Shang Zhongyan said with a smile: At this moment, it's better not to make extraneous branches, you can rest assured, your apprentice is more slippery than you, needless to say, he will also know what to do.Chapter 65 The ordinary tea seedlings on the thumb slope have grown, and Lin Fangqin doesn't have to collect fresh leaves everywhere now, there is less rushing, but it takes some effort to find someone to pick, not to mention the whole family, but also to pay attention to the fact that the hired people can't run around.After finishing the production of autumn tea, the grain collector in the county town also arrived in Linjia Village.Compared with other places, because there is a river running through the village, the grain harvest in Linjia Village has not been affected much, but as a person who often runs outside, Lin Fangqin naturally knows what the scene is outside Linjia Village.The tax of the Great Wei Dynasty was not high, after several adjustments, until now, the tax stipulated by the imperial court is about 30 taxes, which are paid twice a year, once in summer when the wheat is ripe, and again in the autumn when the rice is ripe.When the wind and rain are good, even the most barren land, there is at least one stone of harvest per acre, and it is common to harvest three stones of rice every year in the fertile and fertile fields along the river like Linjia Village.According to the standard of 30 taxes and one tax of the imperial court, 30 acres of land are levied on one mu of grain, the upper land is generally collected by hand according to the standard of two stones and two buckets of grain, and the lower land is according to the standard of eight buckets.But no matter how it is calculated, in general, if you really only pay taxes according to the standards stipulated by the imperial court, then it is not much, the people do not say that the family is rich, but as long as you are diligent and hard, it is still easy to do it if the family has surplus food, but unfortunately as far as Lin Fangqin sees and hears, it is not the case.When the north and the south were just unified, the power of the northern scholars in the court was huge, and Jiangnan and other places could still pay 30 taxes in the first two years, but as the southern families gradually entered the court, problems such as land annexation and hidden fields and hidden households were no longer hidden.Year after year, in addition to the taxes paid by the imperial court, ordinary people will also have many salaries and apportionments every year, and it will become more and more intense in the later years of the emperor.As far as Wuyi County is concerned, in the two years when the first emperor was seriously ill, all kinds of miscellaneous taxes were paid, and the output in the land was even less than half, until the current saint ascended the throne, and it slowly improved.When Li County Ling was in office, it was almost fifteen taxes and one tax every year, which was much better than those places in Hangzhou and Jinhua where families gathered and ten taxes and even eight taxes were one.Industrious farmers, if the wind and rain are smooth, and there is no illness or disaster, even if they pay so many miscellaneous taxes every year, in addition to having no balance at the end of the year, they can still eat miscellaneous grains and rice for three meals a day, and occasionally buy half a catty of meat, and the whole family can make a tooth sacrifice.But with this year's output, people with less land are afraid that they can only drink gruel at once, barely mixed with water, as long as they don't starve to death, it will be a great luck if the family does not lose their ding.But Lin Fangqin knows that the reality is not so good, grain production has decreased, and taxes must be raised.There are many hidden households in hidden fields, and ordinary people pay a tax on ten acres of land to pay a tax on one acre of land in order to make up enough taxes for the imperial court, so what about now?
The output of one mu of land this year is not more than half an acre last year, and according to the unspoken rules of taxation in Jiangnan, Lin Fangqin is afraid that Wuyi County will be changed to eight taxes and one, or even more.The Lin family does not have to pay taxes this year, the reason is that his younger brother earns money, and the Lin family is now considered an official eunuch family and belongs to the privileged class, but even so, Lin Fangqin can't stay out of the matter with peace of mind, after all, most of the Lin family still have to pay taxes.Lin Fangqin sent the fried autumn tea at home to his father-in-law, and when he went home, the grain collector had already led the grain to transport the grain back to the county seat.Zhao Shiyue greeted Lin Fangqin when he entered the door, and whispered in Lin Fangqin's ear: You finally come back, the eldest uncle will let you come back and go to him, I seem to have something urgent to discuss with you.Lin Fangqin estimated that it was a matter of grain tax, and he didn't know how much it had been added this year, and when he arrived at the eldest uncle's study, the eldest grandfather and the sixth grandfather were there, and the three elders were worried.Lin Chengwen always thought that Lin Fangqin was the most affordable among the Fang Zi generations, and he was also very optimistic about him, until Lin Fangxu won the top prize in the examination, Lin Chengwen completely decided to train him as the head of the Lin family, that is, the future patriarch.So when Lin Fangqin entered the door, Lin Chengwen deliberately tested his judgment and didn't explain much, only telling him that the tax had not increased this year, and even decreased, and the grain collected according to the standard of eighteen taxes and one was collected.Lin Fangqin frowned after hearing this, he was not annoyed by his previous guess, after all, it is a good thing to be able to reduce taxes, who wants to see people starve to death?!
He just felt that it was unreasonable, not in line with the style of those families, and he always felt that something was wrong!
The sixth grandfather had the same idea as him, squinted his eyes at this time, and said seriously: After reducing the people's grain, where does the lack of tax and grain come from, it is impossible for them to pay out of their own pockets!
There's something strange about this!
Lin Chengwen and others naturally have this kind of thought, people with heavy minds will inevitably have to think more in the face of the pie suddenly handed over by others, will this pie be poisonous, can you eat it?
Lin Fangqin remembered some rumors that he heard when he went to the capital at the beginning of the year to see Brother Xu's childhood, as well as some things that Brother Xu told him in private, smiled, and comforted the three elders and said: The climate is not good this year, it is estimated that some people are moved by compassion, and we ordinary people receive the benefits, but we don't need to worry so much.Lin Chengwen accepted his comfort, only felt that this kid was deliberate, and said angrily: What kind of garlic are you kidding, are you looking for this?
You usually have letters with Brother Xu, and you always run around, so you don't have any other ideas!
Seeing that the uncle was in a hurry, Lin Fangqin also put on a smile and said solemnly: Brother Xu didn't say a lot of things clearly, but he faintly mentioned that the saint was dissatisfied with the Jiangnan family, but the current matter must have nothing to do with the sacred heart, but it should not be connected at all.Lin Fangqin thought for a while, and then continued: My nephew just said that it was not a joke that someone was moved by compassion, I am afraid that some people really can't stand it, and they want to break the Jiangnan salary and invade the fields.It's not an uninformed person, knowing the seriousness of this matter, I don't know what to say for a while, the atmosphere in the room is also a little dull, Lin Chengwen feels dry mouth, and he picks up the teacup to moisten his throat, but unfortunately he opens the lid and finds that the cup is already empty, and he slams the cup on the table with some annoyance.Lin Bingguang glanced at his son, an old man who was usually in good spirits, but at this time he said in a trance: When I was only four or five years old, the family got together to eat dumplings in the first two days, and suddenly one day I packed up my things in a hurry and returned to Linjia Village overnight.Before his feet could hit the ground, the grandfather led his father away, leaving only a group of women and children.It took three or four months for my grandfather and father to come back with my grandfather's coffin.When Lin Bingguang said this, his voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were a little red, and he slowed down for a while before continuing: It is said that grandpa has left a name in history, and the Lin family has also gained fame, but since I was a child, I have only seen how the Lin family has been excluded and suppressed by those people, how my grandfather and father have been humiliated for the future of the clan, and how the clansmen have struggled to protect the inheritance!
That's enough!
Enough is enough, the Lin family has already done this kind of thing for the people, so let others go this time.Lin Bingyao may have spent most of his life traveling from south to north, he has seen more ups and downs, and his heart is stronger, although he is also a little sad at this time, he can still joke: Heh, big brother, you really think too much, with the current situation of the Lin family, there is a small revision of Brother Xu, even if you want to participate, people may not be willing to take you to play.Lin Fangqin read the palace exam answer sheet written by his younger brother, thinking about the content of the answer in it, and then looking at the eldest grandfather who was squeezed by the sixth grandfather with a smile, it was not a smile, and he suddenly felt a little weak, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.It's a pity that Lin Chengwen didn't let him go, and asked: Brother Qin, most of our lives are almost over, it doesn't matter what, if there is really anything, you young people in the clan have to make your own decisions.After Lin Fangqin listened, he put Brother Xu'er's advance aside, after all, it was too far away, and he couldn't control him, so he arranged the things in front of him first, and then said solemnly to the eldest grandfather: Grandpa, as the sixth grandfather said, with the current situation of the Lin family, there should be no involvement.It's just that a few days ago, I heard that some clansmen want to take refuge in the name of Brother Xu, and Sun Er thinks that this matter will be slowed down, but now I am afraid that it will not work.After listening to this, Lin Bingyao agreed: Well, you really need to take it slowly, if you really want to make a fuss about Yintian this time, the Lin family should not rush to this outlet.Lin Bingguang agreed without thinking about it: After paying so many annual taxes, it is not bad for those years, don't worry, I will explain the stakes to them.Several people asked Lin Fangqin to accompany him along the river for a while, and explained to Lin Fangqin these days, asking more about how taxes are collected elsewhere, and whether there are any abnormal situations in various places.After Lin Chengwen arranged the task for his nephew, he said earnestly: Brother Qin, you don't have to pay too much attention to what your grandfather said, he is old, and it is inevitable that he will be too sentimental in the past.There are some things that you can't get on your head if you don't want to avoid them, you can write to Brother Xu and let him act when he has the opportunity.Lin Chengwen saw that his eldest nephew looked surprised, and said with a smile: What?
Strange why did my uncle say that?
Hehe, in the land of Jiangnan, if something big happens, do you think you will not know with the status of the merchant and the Xu family?
Mr.
Shang is Brother Xu's master, Xu Zhao is his mentor, and Brother Xu is now a member of the middle school, so he can't get around.However, your grandfather's worries are not unreasonable, the Lin family is about to get up, you still have to tell Brother Xu that you must do what you can and not be reckless.Chapter 66 The Lin family has added a lot of people in the past two years, and the house is a little unlivable, and then Lin Fangqin took the lead and added a new one behind the original large courtyard, and the Lin family moved to the newly built larger and more exquisite inner courtyard, in addition to the guest room and study in the front yard, only Zhao Niangzi's family and Lao Wangtou's family lived.The autumn sky is exceptionally clear, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the moonlight shines through the windows, the room is bright, and the newly built house smells carefully, and it seems that there is still a smell of tung oil.When Zhao Shiyue came back from the children's house, Lin Fangqin had just finished writing the letter to Brother Xu, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and said: Are you asleep?
Zhao Shiyue replied with a smile: Well, you fell asleep, there was something wrong with you when you came back from your uncle's house, is there anything embarrassing?
Lin Fangqin was not surprised, in the past few years, he has been able to be more or less happy and angry, but he is only an outsider, at least he has never been able to hide Yueyue whether he is happy or worried, but this matter is not suitable for him to tell, Lin Fangqin had to explain: There is nothing troublesome now, but it is estimated that there will be in the future, hey, in fact, it can only go with the flow, and it is not easy to make a conclusion now.Sometimes the person next to the pillow hides it from you, which is not necessarily a bad thing, Zhao Shiyue feels that there is no need to ask why, so he only smiled and said: Since it didn't happen, then I won't ask, but I have something that has happened here, do you want to hear it?
Lin Fangqin saw that his face was full of what I wanted to tell you, where did he dare to refuse, so he had to take the initiative not to speak: What is the matter?
Zhao Shiyue immediately became interested, sat next to Lin Fangqin, and said with a gossip on his face: When you went to the tea shop with your father this morning, I chatted with my father and came back early, but my father told me an interesting thing!
Zhao Shiyue still left suspense when he said this, and stopped to look at Lin Fangqin.Lin Fangqin: Lin Fangqin said helplessly: What's interesting?
Zhao Shiyue continued: Father also heard what Mrs.
Liu said, saying that Aunt Xiao took her daughter Liu Mingzhu to Hangzhou to play a few days ago, and when she was incense in Lingyin Temple, Liu Mingzhu's clothes were accidentally stained with the new red paint of the temple, so she went to the backyard guest room to prepare to change it.As a result, it turned out that a Xiucai who lived in the guest room had something left, and when he came back to look for it, he happened to bump into Liu Mingzhu who had taken off his clothes.Zhao Shiyue shook his head and sighed: Father said that Liu Mingzhu had already married that Xiucai, and Aunt Xiao finally found a scholar as her son-in-law as she wished.Lin Fangqin saw that his husband sighed, and he actually smiled happily to himself, and he didn't care about his father-in-law, but he didn't realize what was interesting about this matter at all.If Lin Fangxu were replaced, he would probably know what was interesting about this matter, and the interesting thing was that there was exactly the same situation in his previous life, and the Xiucai who went back to get things was him.In the previous life, Ai Xiaoya said that the second brother bought him a wolf's hair, put it on the table in the guest room, and asked him if he remembered to take it when he left?
You didn't say hello when you put it, who remembers to take it?
So he went back and got it, and then he cheated himself for the rest of his life.Lin Fangqin naturally didn't know about his younger brother's bad marriage in his previous life, but he only felt that since Yueyue turned thirty, she seemed to be a different person, and she liked to talk about some boring gossip in the parents.will not be like before, happy or sad will be coquettish with himself, and even hug himself and kiss himself, he is now after talking about other people's gossip, after laughing, he actually plans to go to sleep.Lin Fangqin was depressed for a while, and took a few steps forward to pick up the person who was undressing and threw him on the bed.Yes!
Zhao Shiyue exclaimed: Lin Fangqin!
What do you do?
Lin Fangqin closed the curtain and quickly pressed it, what to do?
Oh, the lost benefits, he has to double it back!
Dongsheng my brother has not been here for a long time, I don't know what your situation is, can everything go well?
Parents at home are healthy, children are lively, everything is safe, don't think about it.But there was one incident that made my brother deeply surprised and had to write to tell him.
