Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 336 Rejection
"Then if I didn't make things difficult for the Li family, would the Li family still reveal the secret recipe?" Chen Yan asked rhetorically.

"Then we can only endure it. The youngest son of the Li family is a civil official and is also in Bianjing. We can't touch him. Even if you kill all the Li family, he can still reveal the secret recipe and still have to face him. Revenge." Master Wu said calmly.

Chen Yan wanted to say something else, but Fu Aimin waved his hand and said, "Just do as Master Wu said."

"Yes." Chen Yan felt that Fu Aimin was too timid.

As long as you tell King Yong about this business, King Yong will naturally find a way if he knows that this business is so profitable.

There is no need to be so timid.

But Chen Yan couldn't help it. After all, he relied on Fu Aimin to survive today.

……

"Sir, that member Chen is here again!"

The store has not been open these days, so Li Nan and Li Ping have kept them at home.

"Why is he here again?" Li Nan asked with an ugly face.

Unlike last time, this time he brought several followers with him, all carrying things in their hands.

"Executive member Li, I took the liberty of coming here to disturb you." Chen Yan said with cupped hands.

After a while, Chen Yan walked in.

Although he would not hit the smiling man, Li Nan felt very uncomfortable when he thought that because of Chen Yan's scheme, not only had his family business been taken away, but he was also imprisoned, and would have to leave his hometown in the future.

Li Nan nodded, told the concierge to invite the people in, and then said: "Thanks to the Second Young Master Gu this time, Aniu, you can invite the Second Young Master Gu to your home for dinner later, and our family will thank him."

"Don't worry dad, I know." Li An nodded.

Chen Yan was startled and asked, "Is it possible that Mr. Li wants to move?"

"Ah."

"Packing up, tidy up?"

"Our family is about to move away, why does he seem not satisfied?" Li Ping asked doubtfully.

Chen Yan gave a few words of persuasion with an ugly face, then asked his entourage to put down the gifts, say goodbye and leave.

After experiencing this incident, the two finally became a little scared. Under Li An's persuasion, they agreed to follow Li An to Bianjing.

He just said lightly: "I wonder what Mr. Chen is here for this time?"

"Thanks to Mr. Chen, we don't dare to stay in Yangzhou anymore. We are planning to go to Bianjing with our family." Li Nan said.

"Our Li family has already felt Mr. Chen's apology. We still have to pack up, so we won't leave Mr. Chen alone." Li An said calmly.

Li An did not tell him the solution he discussed with Gu Tingye. He only said that he would ask Gu Tingye to help negotiate and the matter would be resolved.

"Haha, the people below are ignorant and caused trouble to Mr. Li. After I found out, I punished them severely and came to apologize to Mr. Li personally." Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Dad, let's take a look first. Maybe Zhong Huai has already made an agreement." Li An said.

A few days passed and the two of them recovered.

However, Li Nan was a little worried about his father and eldest brother's family, and was worried that Chen Yan would cause trouble for them.

Li An sneered. Chen Yan was naturally dissatisfied. The Li family stayed in Yangzhou, and he could still monitor one or two things to prevent the Li family from leaking the secret recipe.

Once he got to Bianjing, he would be beyond his reach.

However, Chen Yan thought things were too simple, and Li An was ready to overturn the table.

However, Li An did not tell his father and eldest brother, but smiled and said: "Ignore him. Since he came to apologize, it means that Zhong Huai's talk worked. With Zhong Huai's face, he would definitely not dare to go to his grandfather." Let’s pack up our things and see my grandfather and the others tomorrow, and then leave for Bianjing.”

He himself planned to stay in Yangzhou for a while. After all, he came out in the name of studying abroad, so he couldn't go back too soon.

However, now that something like this happened, Li An didn't trust his parents and eldest brother to go to Bianjing by themselves, so he had no choice but to go back.

……

The next day, Li An and his family returned to Lijiacun together.

When the grandparents saw Li An coming back, they happily took Li An's hand and talked non-stop.

The news that Li An passed the examination had spread as soon as Liu and the others came back from Bianjing.

At that time, Li Nan and Liu held a banquet in Lijiacun to celebrate. However, the protagonist Li An did not come back, which is almost meaningless.

Now that Li An is back, not only his grandfather and uncle's family are happy, but the entire Lijia Village has heard the news and rushed over.

The uncle's newly built house two years ago was surrounded by water.

The Li family came to Li An and wanted to put all the fields in Lijia Village under Li An's name.

One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

This is very applicable to the ancient imperial examinations.

The Song Dynasty did not treat scholars as favorably as the Ming Dynasty, and they had to be promoted to be exempted from taxes.

The Li family always wanted to put all the fields in Lijia Village under Li An's name in order to get tax exemption.

Of course, Li An will not suffer. The people of Lijia Village will pay the taxes that should be paid to the court to Li An.

It seems that there is no difference. They still have to put their own fields in Li An's name. In name, these fields no longer belong to them.

Once Li An goes back on his word, he can take these fields as his own, and there is nothing they can do about it.

But in reality the difference is huge. When officials come to collect taxes, they often use random excuses to collect more.

After all, they also want to gain some benefits.

But it's different when it's left to Li An. They pay as much as they need to pay, and they don't have to be exploited by officials.

As for whether Ang Lee will annex their fields, they are not worried.

First of all, to put the fields in Li An's name, you need to sign a contract, making it clear that these fields are only in Li An's name.

Although this does not have legal effect, the imperial court has long had regulations prohibiting this kind of thing.

But this phenomenon has become the default unspoken rule.

Normally, no one would make a fuss about this.

However, it would be different if the people took the contract to sue.

Some people may say that even if the people do not file a lawsuit, it will easily leave evidence for political opponents.

In fact, this is not the case. Everyone does this. If someone uses this kind of thing to criticize others, it is equivalent to breaking the window paper.

Those who are criticized will expose these things even if they break the jar.

Therefore, using this method to criticize others will offend everyone who benefits from it.

Just like in the officialdom, when a lower official gives a gift to a superior official, he calls it Bing Jing in summer and Tan Jing in winter.

Judging from the name, it is for Shangguan to buy ice in the summer and charcoal in the winter.

But in fact, it is just a bribe, but no one dares to pierce this layer of paper.

It is impossible for the officials not to know about this kind of thing, and they can only turn a blind eye to it.

The same goes for being affiliated with a field.

But if you are greedy and want to annex other people's land and be accused, that is a completely different matter.

Therefore, after signing the contract, the interests of both parties are protected.

Of course, since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people.

If this really happened, they might not dare to file a complaint.

Therefore, they did not just randomly choose a famous person to work in the field, but chose people from the same clan, clan, or village.

The concept of clan was deeply rooted in people's hearts in ancient times. Even if you became an official, you had to take clan seriously.

This matter seemed to be beneficial to both parties, but after hearing this, Li An pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Uncles, my academic status is in Bianjing, and I can't rely on my land in Yangzhou."

In fact, Li An was talking nonsense. After their family separated, although they had different citizenships, his native place was still in Yangzhou.

Moreover, there are no restrictions on household registration or school registration for the land to be affiliated. As long as the number of acres of land is limited by the court, it can be registered with the government.
