Chapter 659 is wrong, obviously there are four sons, but the eldest and the second, including the third, no one is willing to inherit his family property, which makes Lu Zhuzi feel very lost.Quan Xu persuaded: "The children have grown up, have their own ideals, have their own pursuits, those of us as fathers, we can't interfere with the children's choices, we can only give them some advice, as well as reserve the last warm harbor for them......"
"Unwilling, unwilling!"
”Lu Zhuzi let out a long sigh.He turned out to be an ordinary tenant of the Sanyi Lu clan, which can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Lu Zhuzi belongs to Lu Gong's descendants.Of course, the vicissitudes of life have changed.The glory of Lu Zhuzi's ancestors has long ceased to exist, until Lu Zhuzi followed the immigrants to Liaodong and became rich in a very short period of time.After Lu Zhuzi had money, he not only donated part of the money to the school, but also hired a post bureau to the Lu family of Fengxiang Mansion in Sanyitang.The post office is also a logistics and money express company in Liaodong, which does not cover the whole country, but only covers the areas of immigrants in Liaodong, such as Henan, Beizhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, including some Jiangnan areas, although the fee is more expensive, Kelu Zhuzi still sent 5,000 stone of grain to the poor relatives in the past.Five thousand stone grain is actually not worth much in Liaodong, at best it is more than a thousand taels of silver, but for Fengxiang Mansion, this is a huge amount of money, and at the same time, there is also a big misunderstanding.At that time, the villagers of the Lu family watched Lu Zhuzi send five thousand stone of grain, as well as a letter, Lu Zhuzi very conspicuously found someone to write a letter to tell his fellow villagers that his eldest son became a big official in Liaodong, and the county magistrate had to salute when he saw it.At this time, the Lu family of Fengxiang Mansion did not know how big Lu Zhuzi's son was, so he hurriedly sent someone to inquire, only to know that Lu Shanyue was the general of the whole family's army, and this was terrible, after quickly convening a clan meeting, Lu Zhuzi was given a position as a clan elder, and now Lu Zhuzi is one of the eighteen clan elders of the Lu clan in Sanyitang.If the clan and clan elders of a small clan are almost equivalent to a village or township head, and some large families are equivalent to a small king in Europe.Lu Zhuzi, who has been a common man for most of his life, very much hopes that at this time, he will return to Fengxiang Mansion and live the addiction of the clan elders.On the contrary, Da Laozi is not rare in these fields in his own family, Lu Shanyue has not become married, he has earned eight or nine hundred acres of land, once he is married, he himself will definitely have to go out of the house alone, because Liaodong does not allow a family to exceed 1,000 acres of land.In fact, Lu Shanyue has become independent.The amount of land each household actually owned to set the tax was intended to weaken the influence of the clan.Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the landlord economy dominated the economy of ancient China, not the so-called small peasant economy, the scholar clan took the gate valve as the backbone, and the Shu landlord was the local tyrant, and the common people were tied by the clan.In ancient times, the common people were not like the model of one family in later generations, but were based on clans.After listening to Lu Zhuzi's nagging, Quan Xu smiled disapprovingly: "Look at your little talent, a clan elder will satisfy you?"
Do you believe it or not, in the future, the patriarch of your Lu clan will even give up the position of patriarch to you!
”Lu Zhuzi sighed: "What's good in the city, they are all willing to live in the city!"
”"The city is good, there are many opportunities, convenient, clean and hygienic!"
Quan Xu smiled: "You definitely don't understand, you are used to living in the city, and you don't want to be in the countryside!"
”Beishangguang doesn't believe in sweat, let alone tears, however, countless people run to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Lao Cheng is actually the same, as early as more than 20 years ago, Lao Cheng went south like countless people, tossed exhausted, and ran to Beijing again.Finally it was time for dinner, Lu Zhuzi prepared a rich dinner, a long and large table, the meal was very Northeast characteristics of later generations, and more than a dozen stainless steel basins were directly served, which was a medium-sized basin of about one and a half feet, not an extra-large basin.In order to welcome Quan Xu's pour, Lu Zhuzi killed two sheep, one braised and stewed meat, one roasted whole sheep, and killed four big geese, the kind of stewed goose in an iron pot, one can fit a big pot, and more than a dozen catties of big carp, a pork leg, and stir-fried venison, of course, sauce and beef stewed potatoes are indispensable.Chongzhen sat on the top position, at this time, Lu Zhuzi found out that Chongzhen should have a higher status than Quan Xu, and he could let Quan Xu give up his position in Liaodong, and it was estimated that he was the child of a powerful family from the capital.Despite this, Lu Zhuzi still didn't give Chongzhen a good face, in Lu Zhuzi's eyes, Chongzhen is the son and grandson, and he is not as good as one of Quan Xu's toes.Chongzhen ate the beef and asked, "How did you kill the cow?"
”"What's wrong with killing a cow?"
Lu Zhuzi said eloquently: "Some cows, they can't work, they can only be killed, do you raise cattle as ancestors......"
Hearing this, Chongzhen was really speechless.He knew that the people's families were poor, and he estimated that this meal would make them bankrupt, and when he left, he must leave the money for them.Thinking of this, Chongzhen arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the old man, what is the income?"
”"More than six thousand five hundred taels of silver!"
Lu Zhuzi sighed and said: "Damn profiteer, the price of grain is getting lower and lower, if it weren't for the fact that I would make wine, open a small winery, grow my own grain, make wine by myself, and sell grain for more than 1,800 taels of silver, even so, but the cost is also large, the eldest son is going to get married this year, he said that the wedding is held in Jinzhou, although the amount is poor, it can't be looked down upon, and I am ready to pack a good banquet in Jinzhou, how can a table cost twenty-eight taels of silver, folks, and the boss's colleagues, how can there be eighty or ninety tables......"
Chongzhen heard this, A depressed face.This is the people of Liaodong?
A table of twenty-eight taels of silver noodles is probably a high-end table in Beijing.A small landlord of 1,500 land, with an annual income of more than 6,000 taels of silver, who would dare to believe it?
But the facts are right in front of you.Chongzhen only counted the total income, but did not count the per capita income, Lu Zhuzi has four sons and three daughters, plus a wife and a concubine, a total of ten people, the main income is from his small winery, in fact, Lu Zhuzi's field income is only more than 1,800 taels of silver, about 180 taels per capita.The income of 180 taels of silver is not the highest in Liaodong, and it is the level of the middle class, which is far from being called a rich man.Just like the neighbor opposite Lu Zhuzi, this is a military widow Ge Zuo, her husband Ge Kangping died in the battle between Chongzhen and Jiannu Ussuri River in the fifth year, because he is a martyr's family, so Zuo received preferential treatment in the local government.She has potatoes that can be grown, and a cannery is responsible for pricing the purchase.Although she only has 450 acres of land, she has an income of more than 1,200 taels, although the total income is not as good as Lu Zhuzi.However, Ge Zuo's family only has one son and one daughter, three people, and the average per capita is more than 400 taels of silver, and it is because of tax exemption.Once he drank the wine, Lu Zhuzi's words increased: "The second child is really not a thing, the family is not without a place to live, he actually wants to buy a house in Jinzhou, the house in Jinzhou can be bought by ordinary people, half smaller than my house, and there are seven or eight thousand taels of silver......"
As he spoke, Lu Zhuzi began to greet Lu Er's mother.Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen and several eunuchs to investigate the surrounding people, and it took about half an hour for Wang Chengen to set up an investigation and return."
How do they earn?"
Wang Chengen took a piece of paper and handed it to Chongzhen.Chongzhen glanced at it and was stunned.The income of ordinary people in Liaodong far exceeds that of the small and medium-sized landlords in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that even the landlords who own 10,000 mu of fertile land are far inferior to those who have 100 mu or 200 mu of land.Chongzhen threw the results of the investigation on the ground: "How can this be?
”"Actually, it's not hard to understand!"
Quan Xu introduced: "Liaodong's grain production has no way to consume, can only be transported to the Central Plains and the north of the grain shortage of places to sell, in the past, these grain prices in the hands of businessmen, when they buy grain from the people, what price they want is what the price, and Liaodong's grain price pricing power is in the hands of the government, to give the people the lowest protection price, so as to protect the basic income of the people!"
”This is only temporary, if the Central Plains also falls into the hands of Quanxu, and the whole country adopts this way, then there must be a price reduction in grain, in that case, Quanxu will either find a suitable dumping place for products, or improve the planting area, such as now, the grain production area in Liaodong is declining year by year, while cash crops, such as cotton, flax, and soybeans are gradually increasing."
For one term as an official, for the benefit of one party!"
Quan Xu said lightly: "Compared with Liaodong, the officials in other places are a group of old antiques, they are rotten from top to bottom, pedantic, stubborn, ignoring the development and progress of technology, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the officials are not so ruthless, the people are burning incense, if you want me to say, you should kill those who are officials......"
"If killing can solve the problem, why should I be afraid?"
”"Really!"
Quan Xu said with a faint wry smile: "Killing people can't actually solve the problem, the problem of the Ming Dynasty is that he has gone astray, he only understands the four books and the five classics and does not understand general affairs, how can such an official be a good official if he is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains?"
”"That Liaodong......
How?
”Chongzhen looked forward to it, hoping to get a definite answer.Quan Xu pointed to the school in the distance and said, "That can only be cultivated by yourself, education starts with a baby!"
Educate them from an early age......
Farmers who farm land want to increase production, fertilizer is very important......"
At this moment, in the yard next to him, a young voice sounded: "If you want to be rich, have more children and build more roads, if you want to live a good life, soybeans are treasures all over your body!"
”Chongzhen muttered to himself, "I see!
”"The officials of the Ming Dynasty are actually very speechless, they don't know right and wrong, they don't know right and wrong, they oppose because they oppose it, this is wrong, it's wrong from the root!".
