Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 449 Autumn Fu (V)

"Third Uncle! This must be another blackmail trick that Lao Ba came up with!" Liu Guangbiao, one of his nephews, said helplessly.

Liu Guangbiao has studied business in Fucheng, can plan and keep accounts, and understands various business tricks. He is considered a very remarkable talent in Lingao, so the Liu family simply asked him to come back and be the general accountant to manage the family's property .

Liu Youren didn't say anything, it goes without saying that Chen Minggang took the opportunity to blackmail him.The question is: Do the Australians have any plans for Zhang Tian?Is it just to use this to knock the mountains and shake the tiger, forcing everyone to pay a few more "reasonable burdens", or do you really want to figure out the number of acres of land in the whole county, and start a new stove in the style of changing the dynasty?

The discrepancy here is huge.If it's just knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, the countermeasure is easy. It's nothing more than offering more benefits to bribe Chen Minggang to ask him to apply for another [-] mu of land, and pay more money and grain himself; if it's the latter, things will be much more troublesome.

Liu Youren has always been a very assertive person, but at this time he also fell into a state of hesitation.Australians are no better than the government. This is a group that is more efficient, decisive, and daring to do things.He had already seen this clearly.A "good official" like Wu Mingjin, who was considered to be a "good official" in the past, tried to do something in the county but never succeeded.Even if they really wanted to conduct a thorough household registration cleanup for the entire county, it wouldn't be surprising.

It is of no use to them to rely on the past to deal with the government and bandits.If it is hard, Australians are not afraid of extermination, and they will probably be happy to give them such an opportunity; if it is soft, Australians are surprisingly clean, and money bribes are useless to them.

What do Australians want to do?Liu Youren thought that if he really wanted to grow the land, it might be the best choice for him to honestly report the number of acres in his family's land.But if it was just a bluff, and he was so honest, it was nothing more than taking advantage of the subordinates in vain, and he was laughed at in vain-he couldn't afford to lose this position.

"What did Master Zhang say?" he asked.The so-called master Zhang is Zhang Youfu, the intermediary messenger.

"He said that he had been there, and Chief Wu, who was in charge of this matter, was not at home. The others didn't care about this matter, and they didn't know."

"Not at home." Liu Youren chewed on the taste of the words, "Really not at home?" He muttered to himself, this group of people is really unpredictable.

"Nanong of the Tiandihui—Nong—"

"Agricultural technician." Liu Guangbiao said.

"Yes, is Master Yun here?" Master Yun is also Xun Suji.Because there is a shortage of agricultural professionals, he has a lot of experience in growing vegetables, and was hired by Tiandihui as a part-time agricultural technician. Of course, he has received special training in advance.The people of Tiandihui are now shrouded in a mysterious aura in the hearts of Lingao people, so Ye Yuming would rather find a monk who has become a half-way traveler than temporarily use the indigenous agricultural technicians. This is like the beginning of the reform and opening up, everyone believes in foreign products.

"He doesn't come until every Wednesday."

Liu Youren calculated that it would take seven or eight days for him to come, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.If Xun Suji came here, he could try to find out what's going on inside them—it would be good to let him know a little bit.

Unfortunately, the general benefits, they are not interested.Liu Youren once again sighed at the invulnerability of the traverser's honesty and dedication to public service.It's really not used to people who are officials and have power not to accept bribes.

Liu Guangbiao is very clever, knowing that the head of the family is worrying about this matter, he has an idea in his heart, and now he feels that the time is ripe.

"Third Uncle!" Liu Guangbiao said carefully, "Meilan in the fourth room is not young anymore, she is tall and tall, and has never been able to find a suitable husband's family—" As he spoke, his eyes rolled on Liu Youren's face.

"Oh!" Of course Liu Youren knew what this nephew wanted to say, money is not the way to go, maybe a woman can.He has long heard that there are very few women in Australia, and many people have nothing to do except watch "Secret Shadow Movie" all day long...

Liu Youren used to think about sending a maid or something to Xun Suji as a reward.But I thought that the maids in Liujiazhai are no better than the maidservants of rich families in the city. Not only are they from a farming family, but they also work hard all day in the Liu family, with thick hands and feet, and dark skin.Chief Xun has never shown the slightest interest in them.

In contrast, it is better to marry a girl from the same clan to him.After all, the servant girl is an outsider, married as a servant girl, has no status, and will not be valued by others.If he really got married with Xun Suji, he would have to take care of his wife's natal family.

Liu Meilan is a girl in the fourth room. Because she is tall and strong, she has been ridiculed by others-she doesn't look like a girl, and she still has no husband's family at the age of nineteen.The grandniece of this family can be considered.This family's status in the clan is not high, even if they don't want to, they dare not violate it.

Liu Youren nodded, thinking that the cost would not be too much: Meilan's family is a distant branch, even if the Australians are defeated by the government in the future, it will not be too much burden on the family, and it is a pawn that can be sacrificed.

"Okay. Go and talk to her father!" Liu Youren made up his mind.

"Yes," Liu Guangbiao secretly satisfied. He still had another dark plan in his heart.Liu Meilan had offended him in the matter of collecting sacrificial rice in the past, and he had long wanted to take revenge.

"Humph, this time I'll throw you into the fire pit to taste the wax dripping." Liu Guangbiao heard a mysterious story from an aborigine in Dongmen City who had watched the "Secret Shadow Movie" of Australians. Very **: I like to tie up women like zongzi, and then torture them in various ways, and I also like to use candle hot oil to drip naked women...

Liu Youren didn't know his nephew's dark thoughts.He thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow you prepare a post, please come on Saturday."

"Don't you invite Mr. Chen?"

"I'm afraid I can't invite him now." Liu Youren said, "Zhou Qi is his big apprentice, and words are just as useful."

"Come here, send off Lord Chen." Huang Shoutong greeted.

"Don't dare, please wait, Mr. Huang—" Chen Minggang smiled all over his face, and left with his men.

Huang Shoutong watched them go out of the courtyard, and greeted the housekeeper, "Have all the people under him been dismissed?"

"Back to the old man," said the steward, "each person is three hundred 'straw sandal money', and they also entertained a meal and wine."

"Okay, you can go." Huang Shoutong coughed, and his second son Huang Tikun hurried over to help him.Since Huang Shoutong was injured in the counter-offensive battle last year, his health is not as good as before.

"It's okay." He said, and asked, "Why don't you go to the county school to study recently?"

"The son is not a grannie, so there is no need to go."

"It can't be done." Huang Shoutong shook his head and said, "You are a scholar after all, and you have to win a job to shine in the family."

Huang Tingkun smiled wryly and said: "It's not like you don't know, master. In the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have never been ten Juren in the county. My son probably doesn't have such a great fortune."

Huang Shoutong shook his head and said, "Although it's Mo's thesis in the field, don't be too depressed." He went back to the hall of the back house and sat down, "Now the county is being disturbed by Australians, and everyone is a little bit unwilling to study. In this way, you will put more effort into your homework, so as not to waste it..."

Huang Tinkun originally thought that his father wanted to discuss with him about the harvesting of autumn gifts by the Australian husband, but he didn't expect that the opening remarks would be a cliché that asked him to study hard, and he couldn't help but wonder if his father was a little stupid.

"Master!" He couldn't help but said, "What are you going to do about Qiu Fu this time?"

"Hmph, this group of thieves are showing their disobedience." Huang Shoutong patted the table with great enthusiasm, "They also made Zhang Tian?!"

"Master, how should we deal with it?"

"This matter is very mysterious." Huang Shoutong said, "What kind of Australian ecstasy did this old man take so hard to help the gangster toss the grain households?" Is this the Kun bandit's? It really has lost the law of heaven and kings!"

"This kind of subordinate staff is nothing more than profit-seeking. Don't be angry, sir."

"The matter of Zhangtian is just a false shot to Lao Ba." Huang Shoutong said, "He didn't plan to take any fields at all, but he wanted to use this excuse to force everyone to pay more food, and he himself wanted to please him." Australians can reap a lot of benefits."

"Yes, my son thinks the same way. The thief was probably persuaded by the old man, thinking that he could collect more food. Today, the old man's words are very lively. The son wants to give him some more personal benefits and distribute them to the people in the village. A reasonable burden, plus dozens of stones..."

"No, although Zhang Tian shot a feint, the matter is not that simple." Huang Shoutong waved his hand, "Who is the Kun thief, and will be played by the old man like this?"

"Then what do they want to do?"

"Money and food are probably not their main purpose," Huang Tingkun said. "Think about it, how much money can Lingao have? Besides, if they want to collect food and ask the liaison officer to take care of it, which village would dare not pay it? Why bother to pick the old man?" Get rich? Lots of hands and feet—they're drunkards who don't care about drinking."

"Could it be that they want to take the opportunity—"

"Kill chickens to warn monkeys!" Huang Shoutong said with a gloomy face, "Take advantage of this opportunity to gain prestige! I think it's easy for small households to pass this time - not only is it easy to pass, most of the time there are some benefits. For big households like us, this test can be difficult. It won't be easy."

Huang Tinkun suddenly became nervous: If you want to say who is the most hated by the big family in Lingaoli, my family and Liu Dalin are probably called twins.Back then, when dealing with the Kun bandits, one was to make suggestions, and the other was to fight personally.The Kun thief probably hated it long ago.But Liu Dalin has the title of "the only Jinshi in this county", and his reputation is so great that the gangsters have no choice but to buy it.From the re-opening of Molixuan Academy last time, we knew that Liu Dalin was their main target.In contrast, my own home is an excellent target.
