Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Isn't Daddy's yours? You're welcome to spend whatever you want!"

"That won't work. Who would think that he has too much money? Daddy, you are deliberately fooling me and wanting me to spend more."

"Forehead"

The result of the battle between the father and son, there is no need to guess, Ling Wen will definitely win again, no matter when and where, as long as it has something to do with money, Ling Jingxuan, the old man, will never try to win.

"Squeeze.

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and the father and son, who were staring at each other, had to die. Ling Wen looked at the coffee table and the money on the ground, and seemed to realize that it was impossible to put it away so quickly. The door is open.

"I said you didn't have to kidnap him, why? You know he's stingy, and you ask him to bring one hundred taels of silver on him as soon as you open your mouth. Isn't that cutting his flesh?"

Glancing at the frustrated Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui shook his head amusingly. Everything had to be done step by step. He came so violently this time, it was no wonder that his son would fight back with all his strength.

Talking to Ling Wen about money is more tiring than living, Ling Jingxuan slumped on the chair and curled his lips weakly: "I didn't see him thinking about using silver ingots, thinking about chasing after the victory, who knows?? This is stingy. When will my temperament be cured?"

To say that their family only has tens of thousands of taels in savings now, he is also considered a small local tyrant. In the countryside, this money is enough, right? Why is my son still so stingy and reluctant to spend? Was his nearly three months of teaching really useless?

Thinking of this, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but be hit hard, why is it so difficult to train him into the second generation grandfather.

"Hehe... Don't worry, just take it slow, he has made progress today, at least he took the initiative to think about spending money to buy things for his family, so don't expect so much."

Reaching out and patted his shoulder, Yan Shengrui comforted him dotingly.

"Huh?? That's the only way it can be."

Who made their values ​​so different? Ling Jingxuan sighed helplessly. At the same time, the two steamed buns who went to open the door walked in with Chu Yan. Seeing the money all over the floor, Chu Yan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, but didn't ask anything, and shouted respectfully and politely. : "Uncle Sheng, Uncle Ling."

"Yan'er, you're welcome, sit down."

Yan Shengrui nodded lightly, Ling Jingxuan swept away the decadence, and pointed to the chair next to him, Chu Yan nodded and thanked softly, walked over with the two buns, and after they sat down, Ling Jingxuan asked with a smile, "Yan'er has something to do with it. ?"

Usually at this time, isn't he studying?

"Well, Uncle Sheng Ling, I heard that you are going to the county town tomorrow, can you take me with you?"

Carefully glanced at the silent Yan Shengrui, Chu Yan asked a little awkwardly, since he and his father came to Datong Town, almost all of them did not go outside the door. This time he can come to Yuehua Villa. He was really happy. Hearing that they were going to the county seat, he couldn't help but want to follow him. This thought was hard to contain. After obtaining his father's consent, he ran over immediately.

"Of course you can. If Yan'er goes together, you can help me take care of my younger brothers. I'm too late to be happy, how can I not?"

Looking at his face full of expectations despite trying his best to hide it, Ling Jingxuan agreed without thinking. This child is really annoying, and he doesn't know what kind of environment he grew up in. He was only nine years old after what kind of injury he had experienced, but he looked more mature and stable than those fifteen or sixteen year olds. It was no wonder he didn't feel bad for his little bun as well.

"Really?! Thank you Uncle Ling, I will definitely look at several younger brothers."

Hearing this, Chu Yan's small peach blossom eyes glowed with surprise and excitement. ? The young and handsome face that has not fully grown yet is covered with a sunny smile. He is really happy to be able to go to the county town with them.

"Haha." Looking at him with a smile, Ling Jingxuan turned his head and threw a look at Yan Shengrui, as if to say, you, the uncle, also expressed it, but the latter just shrugged and glanced at Yan Shengrui happily. Chu Yan is done.

"Dad, you really lied to me. Brother Yan said that the silver earrings are very cheap, not expensive at all."

Suddenly, Ling Wen, who was chatting with Chu Yan for a while, pointed at Ling Jingxuan's face full of accusations, and he just said, 10 taels of silver are already a lot, how can it be enough?

"Uh?? Are you sure your values ​​are the same?"

Ling Jingxuan's forehead turned black, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. He dared to use his head to guarantee that Chu Yan's so-called cheap buns would definitely hurt him.

"What's the difference? Daddy will fool us, Xiaowu, don't listen to Daddy, let's bring 10 taels of silver notes, and a silver ingot and copper plate, and save the other money??"

Angrily gouging out a look at his father, Ling Wen decisively took Xiao Baozi's hand, squatted down and helped him put the copper coins all over the floor into the piggy bank. Xiao Baozi, who had always been the only one who followed his lead, had no objection. The two brothers added a Chu Yan, the three of them squatted on the ground and kept stuffing the scattered money into the piggy bank. Once again, Ling Jingxuan, who was disliked by his son, shook his head helplessly. The abduction tactic failed completely!

Chapter 140 Go to the county seat and take a boat

Qingyang County Government Office is located in Qingshui Town next door. The original county seat is actually very far from Datong Town. Since the late emperor pointed Cangzhou to Prince Sheng as a fief, Yan Shengrui, who has been leading the army all the year round, out of the convenience of management, put The six counties of Cangzhou were integrated into 120 counties, and the merger of the merger, the split of the split, the Qingyang county government moved to the original Qingshui Town and Lingjiang Town, and the two towns were merged into one city.

The next day, Ling Jingxuan and his party, who had already decided to go to the county seat,

It’s time to start. Today, in addition to Yan Shengrui Ling Jingxuan, the two little buns and their book boys, Chu Yan, Ling Jingpeng, Zhang Qing, and the three Zhao family members, all the book boys Long Dashan who brought Tie Bazi are going. There are a total of thirteen people in the group, plus them They also brought a few handbags made by Wang Jinyu. The carriage would definitely not fit, so they had to go by water.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Han, Tiewazi, Dashan??"

After breakfast, the steamed buns, who were specially dressed in new clothes, ran out of the house in a joyous manner, and the adults who followed behind couldn't help but laugh. Isn't it just going to the county seat, so excited?

"Xiaowen Xiaowu, Brother Yan, you are all here."

Hearing the call of his friends, Tie Wazi, who was eating, threw away the tableware and rushed out to open the door happily. Today, he is also wearing a new blue dress. Although it is not a high-quality brocade, it is not suitable for a countryman. up silk cloth.

"Tie Wazi, where is Uncle Zhao and Uncle Han? We're going to get ready to go."

Ling Wu stepped forward happily, and his eyes frequently crossed his body to look into the yard. Ever since he knew that he was going to the county seat, he had been looking forward to it. He finally got to this day. He couldn't wait any longer. Fly to the county seat.

"Father, father, how are you? Uncle Ling and the others are all here."

Taking a look at Ling Jingxuan and the others who were not far behind, Tie Wazi turned around and rushed into the yard again, tying his hair a bit loose because of his constant running. Han Fei, who was already clearing the table, hurriedly stopped what he was holding in his hand. To do the work, he took him to the room to re-comb. When they came out, the older Long Dashan had already helped Zhao Dalong to clean up the table, and the family went out to meet Ling Jingxuan and others who were waiting at the door.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Last night Tiewazi was so excited that he couldn't sleep. We stayed up all night with him. We got up a little late this morning."

Han Fei turned around and locked the door while talking, Tie Wazi Long Dashan had already run to the front with Ling Wen and the others.

"Hehe...it's okay, we just got here."

Smiling and nodding, the group slowly moved towards the ferry port not far from the village market.

"Jingxuan, can we just go to the county master to buy land? Can those poor brothers let us see Mr. Hu?"

Han Fei has been nervous about this for several days. When they split the money on the first day of September, Ling Jingxuan said that he would go to the county seat to buy land on the sixth day of the first lunar month and asked them to prepare the money. Since then, he has been nervous all the time. I'm worried that up to now, farmers like them are almost always looking for a guarantor to buy land and land, and they would be nervous for a long time on weekdays even if they saw a fast-paced arrester, let alone seeing the county magistrate and looking for him to buy land. .

"How do you know if you don't try it? I didn't think about asking Liu Baoren to accompany you, but what we want to buy is half-salt land, and Liu Baoren may not be willing to take over. Besides, the quantity we bought is very large, and we may be able to go directly to the county master. Get some discount or something."

Semi-salt land is also land. Unlike homestead, its price may not be very expensive. After all, no one wants to buy it, but once it is bought, it must be taxed every year according to the same crop land. The reason why Ling Jingxuan insisted The main purpose of looking for the county master to buy land is taxation. As far as he knows, because the imperial court fights every year, the taxation is higher every year, and almost half of the harvest is paid, although the half-salt land may only be paid according to the most Taxes are collected on barren land, but if it occupies too much land, the money or food that needs to be paid every year is not a small amount. It is not certain whether Ling Jinghan will be admitted to the Xiucai next year and make them exempt from taxation. Before that, he must be well prepared. , at least to grind the county magistrate to exempt them from taxes for a year or two.
