prosperous age

Chapter 19 Chapter 19
Wei Guangde saw that some of his partners were eager to try bird hunting, and he didn't want to displease them. He just said a few perfunctory words, and then separated from the children and went home.

Wei Guangde entered the gate of his house, but he didn't see his father and elder brother in the front yard. In the past at this time, the front hall was always occupied.

But I didn't think too much about it, so I walked directly to the backyard, and when I entered the door, I saw several servant girls standing near the courtyard gate, and felt strange.

Usually, at most one of these people is sweeping the yard, and the others are busy with their own business, either cleaning the tables and chairs in the house, or cleaning up the sundries, why are they all standing here at the gate of the yard today.

"Aunt Li, why are you all standing here instead of going into the house to serve?"

"Second young master, you are out of school."

Aunt Li is the woman who takes care of his mother. She usually stays in the house, and it is rare to see her standing outside.

"The master, madam and young master were talking in the main room, and we were not allowed to pass without a call."

"oh, I see."

Wei Guangde understood what was going on, and didn't take it seriously for a while.

Thinking of what he had overheard two nights ago, he wondered in his heart whether Father Wei could not bear the temptation in his heart at last, so he held an enlarged meeting of family members and called his eldest brother in to give advice.

Although in this day and age, the fate of parents is heaven, but now it's a big deal for Wei Wei's father to hesitate, and it seems normal to let the eldest brother know the inside story.

Wei Guangde didn't bother to eavesdrop on what was being said in the main room, and walked directly across the courtyard to his own house. When he passed the door of the main room, he glanced inside inadvertently, and instantly the four pairs of eyes met.

At this moment, Wei Guangde's parents were sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the main hall, and his elder brother was sitting on the chair on the left side below. He didn't speak at this time, so they all saw Wei Guangde passing by the door.

Just when Wei Guangde was about to walk through the door, Wei Wushi said: "After school, put down your schoolbag, you can come here too."

Want to go there by yourself?

Thinking to himself, Wei Guangde immediately agreed, quickly returned to his room, took off the study and put it on the desk, turned around and went out to the main room.

After Wei Guangde came in, he sat on the chair on the right side opposite his elder brother, imitating his elder brother's appearance and sitting properly.

"Wen Cai, tell Xiao Er about the matter."

Wei Meng spoke at this time.

The elder brother Wei Wencai agreed, and told Wei Guangde about today's events in detail. As Wei Wencai told, Wei Guangde gradually opened his mouth.

Wei Guangde actually wanted to yell "I wipe" at this time, and then continued to yell at that dog Taoist priest. He is really inhuman, and he dared to rob his own house. The shameless guy said hello respectfully.

After Wei Wencai finished talking about the situation, Wei Meng asked, "Xiaoer, what do you think of this?"

Although Wei Guangde is only 11 years old now, he is still stuck between the level of children and teenagers. When Wei Meng died of his father, he was not as old as Wei Guangde, but he had already started to support a family. Make him a man.

Therefore, Wei Meng at this time also regarded Wei Guangde as his own situation at that time, and felt that he should be sensible, so he asked Wei Wencai to tell Wei Guangde about the matter, and wanted to hear what he meant.

"Father, is there any room for change in this matter? Uncle's side"

Wei Guangde was thinking about it when he heard what his brother said, but after all, he still has little knowledge, and things are a bit difficult to handle. Although he still doesn't understand many things, he still asks if there is any room for solution.

Father Wei shook his head and sighed: "Since they dared to come to the door, they naturally knew about that, which means that there is no way to find them."

"Is the field they are talking about the farmland in our fort? The farmland in our fort has been registered with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. How dare they want it?"

What Wei Guangde knew about the family relationship was his uncle, his mother's elder brother, and his aunt was the commander of the Jiujiang Guard and the second-in-command of the guard.

It doesn't matter if there are other things, Wei Guangde's memory is gone.

It is estimated that this is the case, after all, it is only a hundred households, and the level is there.

Even if you want to make friends with dignitaries and dignitaries, but you are like that, it is not something you can make friends with if you want to.

After Wei Guangde asked this question, Father Wei didn't answer, but his eldest brother Wei Wencai said: "The land behind the mountain is a wasteland that was reclaimed by our ancestors before."

"Not Tuntian?"

"No."

"Who is that Taoist dog? Why did he threaten us to sell the land to him? Only five taels of silver."

Wei Guangde still couldn't figure it out, if it wasn't the land of Baihusuo, it must be his own land, why should he sell him a Taoist priest, unless he was just a lobbyist standing at the front desk, and the buyer was someone else.

In addition, when the eldest brother introduced the situation just now, he also mentioned the price offered by the Taoist priest, five taels per mu of land.

Although Wei Guangde doesn't know how much the current land price is per mu of land, but according to his elder brother, the price is a bit low, otherwise he wouldn't be so gnashing.

All these properties will belong to him in the future, although Wei Meng is still the head of the family now.

If it is sold now, if it is sold at a low price, it will actually be his money that will be lost.

Although Wei Guangde is only 11 years old, his actual age is indeed in his 20s. Naturally, he can think of many things, but he still wants to say so.

"The people behind him are very powerful, we can't afford to provoke them."

Father Wei said at this time, "Actually, that field was wasteland before, and your grandfather and his generation began to ask military households to help cultivate it."

Father Wei began to slowly talk about the origin of the land, which naturally aroused Wei Guangde's curiosity.

Before that, Wei Guangde was very curious about what happened to the land and why he was threatened by others, but now that he heard Father Wei talk about it, he gradually understood what happened.

The root of everything is that the field was wasteland before, and it was reclaimed by the military households of Baihusuo by his ancestors. It is conceivable that how the ancestors did it back then was undoubtedly the land reclaimed by using these labor forces for free.

Of course, these are not the key points. The point is that after the land was reclaimed, it was not reported.

That is to say, this piece of land has always been occupied and used by the Wei family, but there is no title deed, it is a "hidden field", and the government does not know about it, so naturally there is no need to pay land taxes.

Father Wei doesn't know what the situation of this kind of field is in Daming.

However, in the boundary of Jiangxi, there are still many similar lands.

But too much doesn't mean it's okay. According to the government's pissing nature, once it is exposed, the land tax will definitely be recovered, or it will be confiscated and used as official land.
