Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 731
When it came to wine, the Japanese youth who spoke was extremely excited: "This time, the wine that the village head father rewarded is really good wine. I didn't expect to be able to give three jars of wine to my family."

Lu Ping said flatly: "That's what you deserve. Last winter, the team you led to renovate the mulberry forest was awarded the first place. The construction will start in two days. This canal must be repaired. They are too lazy .”

Before Lu Ping finished speaking, a few young Japanese jumped down and beat those lazy ones violently.

After you're done, let's continue working.

One of them also said to Lu Ping: "These bastards, you see, they work much faster after the beating."

"The village chief said that more education is needed, and people always need to understand the truth."

"It depends on who it is, they will beat them hard. Tomorrow we will accompany you to take care of them and beat them hard, so that the canal can be repaired in one day. Didn't the village chief say that this person has to be flexible? .”

Lu Ping waved his hand: "It's always difficult to grasp the scale. But it will start in two days. We will harvest dozens of villages here this season, and the five most outstanding villages will have precious rewards from Chang'an. Don't let us The village lost face."

"Really?"

Lu Ping nodded solemnly: "You know, I can read and write. I saw a notice when I went to Kumamoto Castle last time to collect New Year's rewards. Although I don't know what the rewards are, the ones from Chang'an will not be ordinary objects. .”

"Let's go, drink. You tell us well."

Someone was pulling Luping, and a few others beat the lazy one again, and then dragged him to the small black room.

All of this is under the control of Village Chief Xie. He is happily drinking with the old guys, and discussing in private how to manage these Japanese people better.

Not only does it give the Japanese people something to look forward to, but it also prevents them from causing trouble.

The village is Datang's most grassroots management organization in Wodao. They are also constantly tapping their own potential and using their wits to find ways.

As stewards of counties and states, but actually officials, they are studying and thinking day and night.A considerable number of people here are from the county magistrate who was hit by the drought in Chang'an. They came here for a higher future. If they don't do well here, their official career will probably come to an end.

The New Year's holiday in Wajima is over. According to the plan given by Liumu earlier, the villages first held a mobilization meeting, and then revealed the two magic weapons of competition and rewards, and the work of raw silk in spring officially started.

Silk is better in spring than in autumn, so silk in spring is the most important thing in every mulberry area.

What's more, spring is the time to plant new mulberry trees.

On Liumu's side, Hangzhou, it's not just the Cui, Wang, and Lu families who come here.Zheng, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui.It can be said that without exception, they all sent people over.

And the status of the people who came is getting higher and higher.

Taking the Cui family of Qinghe as an example, Cui Hong is already the elder of the clan, but the elder of the clan also has a ranking.

This time not only Cui Hong came, but also his cousin, Cui Junsu's father Cui Yuan.In addition to these two, the Cui family also sent four well-educated celebrities of the Cui family, as well as four senior housekeepers of the Cui family.

Liumu also greeted these people with a high standard, and also borrowed the big garden built by the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty for himself beside the West Lake. It was not completed here. The reason why the Tang Dynasty established the country was because this was the garden of the former Sui royal family. No one dared to come here. Renovation, naturally no one dares to live in it casually.

Although it is not finished, it has no problem receiving hundreds of guests.

Wang Junji, an idler with the position of a great general in the Tang Dynasty, knew that he was not suitable for leading troops to fight, so he chose an idle title, and he was also the No.1 choice for the next patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Known as the young patriarch, he is less than 40 years old.

He also has a distant cousin who is more famous than him.

Wang Junkuo died at the hands of Liu Mu, but even if he knew it didn't matter, he was a son of a famous family back then, and Wang Junkuo was just a bandit.

As soon as Wang Jun saw Liu Mu, he handed over a letter.

Liu Mu took a closer look, and it turned out to be from his great-uncle Liu Chongchong. Liu Mu remembered that Liu Chongchong seemed to have written a letter to himself, what does this another letter mean.

He continued with a smile and invited the guests to enter.

Wang Jun was startled but said: "Don't Prince Liu read the letter?"

"it is good!"

Liu Mu opened the letter, and the contents of the letter turned out to be a copy of the marriage contract between the Wang family and the Liu family.

After scanning quickly, Liu Mu put the letter in his purse, and asked, "I heard that General Wang's two aunts wore old clothes at the New Year's banquet."

"That's right. Although the Wang family has a big family and a great business, they also know how to be frugal. This time, with the efforts of the whole family, the Taiyuan Wang family has collected 360 million yuan. This is the entire family property of the Wang family. The [-] hectares of fertile land connected to each other were handed over to the Tuntian District of Bingzhou, and the settlement palace gave this share."

Wang Jun took out another letter in surprise, which turned out to be written by Li Shimin himself.

Li Shimin's handwriting can be recognized by Liu Mu at a glance. At any rate, he has been in Datang for these years, and Liu Mu's calligraphy progress is not small, so it is not surprising to be able to see the handwriting.

Willow opened it on the spot, and there was an authorization inside.

It means that the imperial court accepted the [-] hectares of fertile land, and how to deal with the settlement of willow trees, a considerable amount of money will be deducted from the money handed over to the account department by the general shipping department.

Seven thousand hectares is 70 mu of land.

Based on Liumu's understanding of the Wang family, it can be said that this is at least [-]% of the land owned by the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Entering the main hall and sitting down, Zheng Yuanxuan insisted on letting Liu Mu take the seat. After all, this is also a person who bears the title of duke of the country, and is the owner of this place, so he is qualified to take the seat.

After Liu Mu refused, Cui Yuan and Liu Mu, the eldest of the Cui family of Qinghe, sat at the top. Liu Mu chose to sit on the right side to show his respect for the elderly.Cui Yuan said a few polite words, but he didn't think there was any point in fighting for this seat.

Coincidentally, the first six chairs are naturally divided according to age.

It is not easy for the five surnames and seven Wangs to say in public who is the strongest of the seven clans, so it is more appropriate to divide the seats by age.

The chairs at the back are for the nephews, while the grandchildren can only stand but not sit. The Tang Dynasty was an era that was very particular about etiquette.

After sitting down, the young grandchildren of each family put one wooden box after another on the plan between Liumu and Cui Yuan in turn, seven in total.

When Liu Mu opened it, he was startled.

These seven boxes are full of land deeds, and the most ferocious one is the Li family in Longxi, whose land deeds are at least 150 million mu. Liu Mu believes that the lowest land deeds here are more than [-]% of the land owned by each family.

Seeing Liu Mu's astonished expression, Cui Yuan smiled brightly: "My son-in-law Liu, the rice that I have been eating for the past six months has been Liaodong polished rice that I bought. It is good that the land at home is enough for the family to eat, too much is useless."
