  Chapter 500 Don’t Believe in the Pig, Do You Believe in Outsiders?

   "Listen to what your elder brother has to say."

   Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, at this moment, Mr. Zhu stepped forward. Mr. Zhu still considered the entire Zhu family in his heart, at least he thought so. Zhu Ping'an is his proud grandson, and he does not want Zhu Ping'an to have an accident, but things have already happened, and now it is important to consider the whole family.

   Except for Zhu Ping'an, the only one who can honor the Zhu family's ancestors can only rely on the boss.

   In addition, after hearing what the boss said when he first came here, Mr. Zhu still agreed with his proposal. After all, he is a scholar, well-informed, not panic when things happen, and his brain is quick.

   This is the Ming Dynasty, the peak of the feudal dynasty, the era when the feudal ritual system and the patriarchal patriarchal system dominated. Mr. Zhu is the head of the Zhu family. Although Zhu Ping'an's family has been separated, the identity of the Zhu family cannot be erased.

  Old Master Zhu spoke. Although his mother, Mrs. Chen, gritted her teeth angrily at her uncle Zhu Shouren, she could only care about Old Master Zhu and resisted not having an attack.

Seeing that Mr. Zhu was in control of the situation, the uncle Zhu Shouren held up the teacup with one hand and tugged at his sleeve with the other. He took a sip of the tea in a gentle and elegant manner, then put down the teacup, and put on an attitude of thinking about the future of the Zhu family. With a serious voice, he said:

"Second brother, younger brother and sister, I can understand your feelings. She is a unicorn of our Zhu family, and I don't want anything to happen to me. When it happens, we have to think about the future, and I think a smart pig will do the same."

  There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune? !

  When he heard these words, Chen's eyes almost burst into sparks as he glared at his uncle Zhu Shouren, and his anger almost ignited the surrounding air.

   "I don't know if the second brother has ever calculated, how much is the annual tax on your family's land?" Uncle Zhu Shouren ignored Chen's gaze, and asked Zhu's father calmly.

   "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 got up and walked around with his hands behind his back, and said after a while, "You don't have to pay taxes because of his fame, but if he's gone, you can just pay the taxes." Need to pay taxes and bear corvee.”

  彘 is not there? !

  This sentence irritated Mrs. Chen again, he gritted his teeth, glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren coldly, and said coldly, "Don't worry about it, brother, I have the order of the sixth-rank security officer."

The uncle shook his head when he heard the words, and sighed, "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, your brother and sister, your sixth-rank Anren, are only ordered to be treated in a manner of etiquette, and they do not kneel when they see officials, etc., but they have no real power, let alone tax exemption. Say it."

   "So what." Chen's tone was very impatient.

"Not counting the tens of thousands of acres of land that the Li family brought as a dowry today, even if you own the land owned by your family, if you pay taxes, it will cost at least a hundred taels of silver a year. This is not a small sum." Uncle Zhu Shouren said in an exaggerated tone.

Although the uncle Zhu Shouren didn't know the specific amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family, he also knew the approximate amount of land owned by Zhu Ping'an's family. The land was purchased once, and this time the amount was very large, and many people contributed land. The sum is not a small amount. In addition, after Zhu Ping'an became the number one scholar, Zhu Ping'an's family bought even more land. Even if only these lands are counted, the tax would cost hundreds of taels of silver.

  The more land, the more taxes, this is a very obvious truth. Father Zhu glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren, but didn't say anything.

   "This is just your inherent land. If you add the 10,000 mu of land that the Li family married today, the tax will have to be doubled." After the uncle Zhu Shouren said it once, he opened his mouth and sighed.

  Dowry property? It was the dowry of the second daughter-in-law Li Shu, and it was Li Shu's private house! It was Li Shu's body, and it belonged only to Li Shu's personal property.

   "What's your opinion, big brother?" Mrs. Chen glanced at her uncle Zhu Shouren and asked sarcastically.

"It's not a good idea, but it's a way. At first, the land property didn't need to pay taxes because of his fame. Now, if you find another person with fame and reputation and transfer the land to his name, wouldn't you still be able to exempt from taxes as usual?" It's gone." Uncle Zhu Shouren's eyes were shining brightly, and he suggested provocatively in his tone.

   "Where can I find such a person?" Chen asked knowingly, with contempt in her tone.

"After all, you have so much property. If you look for outsiders, you don't feel at ease. It's better to find an acquaintance. The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, a family does not speak two dialects, and can't write two Zhu characters in one stroke. There is no comparison. The whole family is more reassuring. It is better to transfer your property to my name. In this way, I will be exempted from tax and corvee, and your property will not need to pay taxes. The property is still your property, but it is in my name. If you move a little bit, you can save hundreds of taels of silver every year, and it’s not good to do anything.”

  Hearing this, the sarcasm in Chen's eyes became stronger, the fox's tail was exposed, talking and going around, it turned out that it was the idea of ​​the family's land property.

   I really look down on you, how grown-up you are, if you don’t study hard and review your homework, think about these crooked ideas all day long, never think about working hard with your own hands, and decades of food will go to the dog’s belly. He was a child student when he was a child, he was still a child student when he was admitted as a child student, he was a student when he was admitted as a scholar, and now he is the number one scholar, and his uncle was still a child student. If he doesn't work hard like this, I don't think he will be admitted as a scholar if he is given decades.

"Oh, the land is transferred to you, and the tax is exempted, um, why don't you transfer the land acquired today as a dowry to you. Oh, let me think about it, by the way, there are also shops in the town, um, today Many shops that came over as a dowry should also be transferred to yours." Chen said lightly.

What?

  Even the dowry is transferred?

   There are also shops that are also transferred?

Happiness came so suddenly that Uncle Zhu Shouren couldn't believe what he heard. He thought that Mrs. Chen was the most difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect to say it once, and Mrs. Chen agreed. Sure enough, she had long hair but short knowledge, and was excited The uncle was short of breath, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

  The eldest aunt and Zhu Pinganjun's daughter-in-law on the side all smiled.

   "Second brother and sister, are you joking?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked in disbelief.

   "You were the one who joked first." Chen sneered, very contemptuous.

   "You" uncle.

   "If I remember correctly, the elder brother is not a scholar now, right? You still have to pay taxes. Let's wait until the uncle is selected as a scholar." Chen glanced at his uncle Zhu Shouren, and mocked with disdain.

"In my lady's opinion, this time I'm a scholar. Master Liu and the others have promised me. In addition, I have also been recommended by others to be in charge of scholars and politicians, and they have left a name card. According to the usual practice, all name cards Yes, it's all settled." Uncle Zhu Shouren said excitedly, with the confidence of a middle-ranked scholar.

   It's the same old way again, what is the stability, what is the relationship and how hard it is to find, this kind of words has been said by his uncle since the first time he started to take the talent examination, and he has said it no less than ten times. Every time I swear it, and every time I fail, only the old man and the old lady believe it.

  Looking for a relationship, going through the back door, is all crooked, never thinking about relying on yourself.

   Chen rolled her eyes in disdain.

   "Let's wait until the eldest brother has passed the examination of scholar." Zhu's father glanced at his elder brother and said in a deep voice.

"You don't know what he committed in the capital, do you? You are confused." Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't give up until he achieved his goal. He threw out another one when he failed to achieve his plan. He said with a heavy face, and then sent Zhu Ping'an to impeach him. The matter of killing Liang and offending Yan Song was repeated again, exaggerating the danger.

   "What Xi'er did is definitely right, I believe in Xi'er." Chen was unmoved.

   "Why? I was deceived by someone, my general." Uncle Zhu Shouren repeated the story of persuading Mr. Zhu.

   "I don't believe in pigs, can I still believe in outsiders?" Mrs. Chen choked on her uncle Zhu Shouren, which was completely different from the reaction of Mr. Zhu back then.

"We are a family with Xi'er, so we must share weal and woe. As Xi'er's parents, we are not capable, but we are not afraid of getting into trouble. If someone comes to cause trouble because of this, we will seek justice for Xi'er. "Father Zhu also replied in a deep voice.

  Uncle Zhu Shouren.

   "That tax is not a decimal." Mr. Zhu reminded.

   "Father, firstly, the eldest brother has not been a scholar, and secondly, the production in the field is always more than the tax. In the future, if we have a bite to eat, you two will not be hungry." Chen explained lightly.
