Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Even Saburo's idea of ​​splitting up and living alone was fooled by his stupid brother? Gu Erlang looked at his father in surprise, "Did he really tell the uncle?"

Gu Erzhu didn't deny it, nor did he want to deny it. It was just like this. After finishing the business in the afternoon, Sanlang cried to his uncle.

Seeing his father nodding, Gu Erlang frowned, "This matter, let alone my grandfather, even my uncle would not nod."

But no, the idea is good, but it is difficult to realize. In this age when the word "filial piety" is as important as heaven, as long as the father does not nod, it is absolutely impossible to live alone.

If possible, why did his father-in-law wait until now to adopt him? Why don't Mr. Zhou Daniu and his wife just say nothing and wait until his wife takes action before he can get his wish.

And all of this is not without a prerequisite. First of all, there is a scandal that is enough to bring shame to the daughter of the Zhou family and has to be covered up. This is the fundamental solution to the problem.

Otherwise, whether it is the Zhou clan leader or his great grandfather, the head of the Gu family, from the perspective of their overall situation, it is impossible for them to hope that "unfilial sons" will appear in the clan.

Want to separate?
Although the imperial court did not support a family living together for more than four or five generations in order to collect more household taxes, and originally supported the separation of households, the patriarch may not have such an idea.

Even his great-grandfather, who was called a good patriarch by his tribe, according to his father, would not have been willing to wait for his youngest son to get married if he had not experienced first-hand how many people lived under one roof, and the children and grandchildren were not united. After one hundred days, the three sons were separated early.

But even if Gu Sanlang is the second son, if he wants to separate the family and lead a separate life, unless his grandfather makes the decision or his father nods in agreement, the patriarch will not be able to make the decision.

I still think too simply. If Gu Sanlang can separate the family and lead a single life, can Gu Silang also split up? What will happen to the remaining Eighth Lang?

Of the four sons of the eldest family, only Gu Sanlang and Shilang have started to make money. The remaining eldest son is still chewing on the old man now that he is a father, and the younger one is still studying in the village.

Now the whole family relies on his uncle as the accountant, earning more than one tael of silver a month, which seems like a lot, but this monthly salary is not enough to support his eldest son's education.

What's more, it is difficult for Saburo to support his eldest son's education alone. All the expenses of the eldest son's family of four come from the family. It would be even harder for Saburo to separate the family and live alone.

These questions that Gu Wenxuan could think of, Gu Erlang also thought of, and after a moment's hesitation, "Why do I think Sanlang suddenly wants to separate the family and live alone? Is it better to say that he doesn't hand over his wages?"

Gu Wenxuan thought about it and reminded him, "The key lies with the wife."

"You want to say that it was Sanlang's wife's idea this time?" Gu Erlang said the words and nodded slowly, "Don't say it, Dad, Liu Lang might have been right."

Gu Erzhu glanced at his two sons and said, "You don't need to tell me, you uncles all thought that it was your uncle and the others who had annoyed Sanlang's wife this time.

That's what your uncle is worried about. He's still in confinement, so he's going to pay the summer tax now to talk about it. He's also worried about this, so he comes to our house to find some way out of me.

As for whether to separate families or not, that is a household matter for their eldest family members. With your grandpa here, not to mention your uncle, even your eldest grandpa can't interfere.

Your uncle doesn't have to worry about this. It's easy to say, but if it really needs to be divided, 60% of the family's wealth belongs to Dalang, leaving 40%. Eighth Lang is still young, so how much can Sanlang and Silang get.

His wife is not like Huniu Sanya, who has a dowry and no worries about food and drink. No matter how diligent she is, she can be exempted from the annual corvee with silver, which is a lot of money.

In addition, the two children are young, and they are still young and will not have children. Is it really better to live alone as a separate family than now? It was just a young couple like him who thought their life was too easy.

If it were so simple, it would still be his turn to tell your uncle that he wanted to separate the family. I had separated the family a long time ago when your uncle went to be the accountant.

At that time, I was still thinking about you, young ones. If you can't use the money to do the corvee, you have to go in person. At least there are many brothers, and if you take turns to endure it, you won't lose your life.

Let me tell you something that your mother didn't hear. Your grandparents themselves are not happy for me to marry your mother. They don't even care about you. How can I be the same when I am here and when I am not here? "That's the truth.

Whether the villagers are divided or not, the land tax and the dingyin cannot be changed, only the corvee.

The law stipulates that for those who have lost the ability to work and are "disabled", a man becomes an adult when he reaches sixteen and has the obligation to perform corvee service until he is fifty.

In addition, there is another situation, such as an extinct household or a one-child household. Like the conscription order during the war, they are not included in the scope of corvee service.

His father happened to have two sons. Regardless of whether the corvee was based on household or capita, as long as the male was registered, he had to serve. The difference was whether he could use silver to do the work.

Similarly, this also means that his uncle is still under the age of fifty and still needs to serve in the military. As a son, Saburo wants to separate the family and live alone?

As long as his uncle doesn't nod, not to mention the clan leader, even his own father can't force a "son to serve on his father's behalf", so what if he doesn't pay for it!

In the past, his father basically complied with whatever the old man said and listened to. He never thought that if the trouble was too much, the old man might give up.

Gu Erzhu didn't know that his old son had thought so much for a while. He shook his head and refused the tea cup offered by his eldest son. He continued to tell his two sons his thoughts.

"Since dad can think of this, your uncle is still the eldest son trained by your uncle, so he is not worried about Sanlang's family separation at all.

He just came to deliver a message to me, telling me what Saburo had said to him. I thought I had a good idea, so don’t turn around and get your young couple involved. "

Gu Erzhu's last words were to his old son, and Gu Wenxuan understood what his father meant.

His uncle, Wen Yu's father, had gone to Zhending Mansion with his wife before, so he knew their situation relatively well.

Compared with Sanlang, who only knew that his wife had a large dowry, the uncle and his son knew better that his wife had a house and a village in Zhending Mansion, the province.

His wife now not only has a lot of money, but also a kind heart, and is also easy to talk to. Since she can win over Wu Lang, it is not impossible not to win over Saburo.

It is estimated that Sanlang and his wife have the same idea. If they are divided equally, it has nothing to do with Dalang. Life will be difficult for them, so they are not afraid that he and his wife will not help him.

"In addition to this, your uncle also wants me to have a good chat with your uncle, so that your uncle can take care of your uncle's mother, and don't let outsiders laugh at you all day long."

"Dad, did you agree?"

Gu Wenxuan shook his head secretly.

It's impossible for our father to agree. How much he wanted to support the family so that outsiders wouldn't laugh at it, now he doesn't want to get involved.

"How stupid is your father?" Gu Erzhu glared at his eldest son angrily, "It's none of my business if his family makes jokes. As long as you two brothers don't make other people laugh."

"That won't happen."

"Impossible." (End of chapter)
