Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Lin Wenliu is a scholar, when has he ever had this kind of beating.The brother-in-law punched him a few times, the scarf was crooked, and his forehead was bruised and swollen.

Sexual pain is nothing at all, the key is that the father-in-law's slap in the face made him completely humiliated.

Lin Juren yelled in grief and indignation: "Boss Taishan, what are you doing?"

Lin Juren's father-in-law, old man Huang, pointed at his son-in-law tremblingly and cursed: "You don't live up to your expectations. You live in my house. I didn't say a single word. I just looked at my poor daughter. Ordinarily You are a master of Juren. If someone else has this fame, in his hometown, he will have land and land, and his life will be easy. But in order to become an official, you abandoned your family business and lived in the capital, which caused my daughter to suffer for so many years. I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness either. That's all, but now you are colluding with outsiders to harm me, tell me, I'm going to pay you for such a bastard?"

Lin Wenliu didn't understand why his father-in-law would say such words, and he was very puzzled: "Yuezhang, my son-in-law can't understand you when you say this. How can I come to harm you this demolition?"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Er punched him a few more times: "You bastard, you know the good deeds you have done yourself. From now on, get the hell out of Huang's house. Also, the land acquisition and demolition of Shuntian Mansion I'm the one to decide everything, and it's not up to you, an outsider."

For these years, Lin Wenliu lived in his house, and Huang Er paid for all food, drink and toilet.However, this Lin Juren still acted like a gentleman, and bullied his brother-in-law very hard.

Huang Er had held back his anger a long time ago, but this time with his father's consent, he let it all out.

After beating his brother-in-law, he turned around and scolded all the scholars: "Whether our Huang family's house will be demolished or not, and how much money we want to get for the demolition, that's my business, not yours. You don't know that you are eating my brother-in-law What **** soup, you want to come and make trouble with him. Get out with me!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Wenliu and his father-in-law's family had such a trouble. In this way, this incident has evolved from being humiliated by scholars to his own housework.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs. Whether the Huang family will be demolished or not, the family members have not made a decision. As an outsider, they are naturally not qualified to intervene.

Not only the more than 100 scholars did not speak, even the common people who watched the excitement became quiet, only the hot sun shone down.

Zhu Houzhao snorted: "Lin Wenliu's misbehavior and gathering crowds to cause trouble should have been reported to the school and the government office, and sent to prison for punishment. However, considering the decency of the scholar, considering that this is just a small matter. Today is the end of the civil dispute. Lin Juren, you go home by yourself and don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, I will spare you, and the law of the country will not spare you.”

After finishing speaking, let the uncle and nephew of the Hu family let go of Lin Wenliu, turned around and said to the Huang family father and son: "Huang Weng, Huang Er, please go home and invite two middle-aged men to come over. Shuntian Mansion will send someone to discuss with you the compensation for the demolition Land delivery matters."

The Huang family father and son nodded: "That is, that is, Xiaomin will do it now."

Zhu Houzhao and others released Lin Wenliu, turned around and returned to the Yamen.

When the gate was closed, the Huang family and his son ignored Lin Wenliu and went straight home.

Lin Wenliu looked at the shining white sunlight outside, and at the silent scholars, he felt a coldness in his heart.

He couldn't figure it out, he said it well last night, and he wanted to take this opportunity to knock the government a fortune.But why did the father-in-law and brother-in-law make a 180-degree turn?

……

Entering the Yamen, because of his status, it is impossible for the governor to come to accompany him.

Under the guidance of a book office, everyone entered the signing room, sat down, drank tea and waited for the news.

Su Mu was idle and bored, so he picked up a book and started to read. As for Zhu Houzhao, he was sitting on a chair, but kept sweeping his feet in front of him, probably still reminiscing about the trick just now, and couldn't help sighing: "Miao, Wonderful, this trick really makes the antelope hang its horns like a cloud, and there is no trace to be found. During this period of cultivation, I feel that both physical speed and reaction have improved to a higher level than before. This is probably the so-called Raise your realm!"

Su Mu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and thought: You kid has to run along with me for several kilometers every morning, and you also have to stride, your physical fitness is naturally much better than before, even if you say you are fat, you are panting!

The future Emperor Zhengde sat on the chair with Su Mu, while Eunuch Liu and the two guards stood respectfully aside, not daring to do anything wrong.

As for Hu Shun, for some reason, seeing Su Mu's calm and calm look, he didn't dare to sit down, and just stood quietly aside, with growing doubts in his heart: "Why did that Master Meng treat Su Mu like that?" So respectful, he is a high-ranking official of the third grade! Also, what method did he use to make Lin Wenliu's father-in-law and brother-in-law change their positions? I can't figure it out! I don't know why. When it comes to this boy Su Mu, I'm afraid from the bottom of my heart. It's like seeing a high-ranking official in the court."

In fact, Su Mu didn't let Hu Shun handle the matter of Lin Wen Liuzhang and his brother-in-law, but persuaded Zhengde to let him do it.Now he is very disappointed with Hu Shun. His former prospective father-in-law was also like a character in Baoding, but when he arrived in the capital, he couldn't hold it when he was on a big scene. When he saw an official older than himself, he was frightened. Don't look like a man.If you let him do it, it may not mess things up.

On the other hand, Zhu Shou is not afraid of anything, and he is very good at doing such mischievous things.

So Su Mu asked Zhu Houzhao to immediately go to the Lumi Cang area to spread rumors to the demolition households, saying that because Lin Juren wanted to be a nail household, the court felt a headache for him, and in order to avoid trouble, he decided to build it in another place, and this place would not be demolished. .Then, he asked him to take a few taels of silver to bribe some relocated households to go to Huang's house to make trouble.

At the beginning, Zhu Houzhao was still reluctant, saying that the matter was not done aboveboard and that he had his share.

Later, Su Mu persuaded Zhu Houzhao with one sentence: "Didn't General Zhu always want to lead troops? In this big battle, the two sides dispatched 2000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to put all the troops on the front line. During the battle It is necessary to constantly test and entangle, and it is actually the [-] people who really decide the outcome. War is not about everyone rushing forward to fight, but the most important thing is to grasp people's hearts. It is also a common method in the art of war to make countermeasures to make the enemy fight among themselves. What you will do in the future is not a reckless man, but a wise general. Although this matter is small, it requires tricks, time, and spreading rumors. It is also a big deal for you kind of exercise."

Hearing that Su Mu brought the matter up to the art of war, the future Emperor Zhengde immediately regained his spirits, and immediately took his hands down to make arrangements.

I have to admit that although Zhengde is very absurd in historical records, his action ability and IQ are top-notch, and he will settle this matter quickly.

The residents of Lin Wenliu's father-in-law and the others are actually not rich, and they can be regarded as slums in the capital. Many houses have a history of a hundred years, and the earliest ones can even be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty.Aside from being small and dilapidated, the supporting facilities for living are also so poor that it couldn't be worse.

If nothing else, the residents will live in this dilapidated and dirty place for the rest of their lives.

The reason why the Lumi warehouse was established here at the beginning was that the court considered that this piece of land was not worth much, and there was no need to compensate too much cash.

Now, the imperial court is finally going to expropriate the land, and the compensation is very generous.

If the more than 100 taels of silver are distributed, it will cost 20 taels of silver to buy a small yard, and there will be 100 taels left.During the Hongnian period of the Ming Dynasty, silver was valuable, and one tael of silver was equivalent to more than one thousand and one yuan in later generations. 100 taels is more than [-] yuan. With the low prices of the Ming Dynasty, the living expenses are only two or three yuan a month. The whole family can live for a lifetime without doing anything.

Many people are already thinking about whether to release the money for interest if they get it.

It is a life-changing opportunity for everyone to change from the bitterness of being a laborer to the rentier class.

But at this time, a rumor spread that the court decided not to confiscate the land after Lin Juren made such a fuss.Scholars, I can't afford to provoke or hide, at worst, I'd better change the place.

Seeing that such a fortune was about to fly away, everyone became nervous.It's just that Lin Wenliu has a noble status after all, he is a master of Juren, and he is very prestigious in this area, so it's hard for everyone to say anything.

However, a few families took the lead in making a fuss, and rushed directly to Huang's house to ask Mr. Huang for an explanation.

Now that there was a leader, the others also wiped their faces off, rushed over at the same time, and yelled at the Huang family.

The situation suddenly intensified, which was different from the polite scholars at the gate of Shuntian Mansion Yamen.The poor people in this area are not so polite, they all pointed at the old man Huang's nose and cursed, saying that your Huang family took advantage of the situation and there was a master in the family, so they wanted to blackmail the government.Anyway, if your family is rich and powerful, even if the house is not demolished, it will have no impact on your life.

But this is an opportunity we can't wait for in a lifetime, but now it's going to be ruined by your son-in-law, as a human being, you can't do this!

The old man Huang was surprised to see so many people come to trouble him, and quickly cupped his hands: "Fathers and elders, the so-called closest neighbors are the neighbors. If you have something to say, talk about it. I have never heard of the government not expropriating land. ?”

The management of the household registration system in the Ming Dynasty was not as strict as modern people can imagine, especially for citizens. Once you are born, your body is tied to the residents of the entire community, organized by ri or guarantors.If something happens to your family, you are obliged to help.If a family encounters a thief, you must help catch the thief, otherwise you will be guilty of the same crime as the thief; if a family encounters a fire, if you do not fight the fire, you are an arsonist.

Humans are social animals. It is conceivable that if you offend all your neighbors, it will not matter if you are alive in this life.

Before the words were finished, a family that Zhu Houzhao bribed in advance immediately yelled: "Pretend, you continue to pretend, don't think we don't know. Your son-in-law wants to use this to invite fame. If it is done, your Huang family will If you get 2000 taels, we will still compensate you with the 100 taels. If it doesn’t work out, your son-in-law will get the title of a famous person. No matter how you look at it, you will take advantage of it. On the contrary, it is us grassroots who get involved for nothing, but there is no benefit at all. The surname Huang, you are good at calculating. It’s all right now, the government will not expropriate the land, and we will not get our money. We have been hurt by you. You do not want us to be good, and we will not give you a good life. , smash this place!"

Someone made a move, and other people were also aroused in righteous indignation, and followed suit.

Only now did the Huang family know what was going on, and the old man couldn't help but clasped his hands and wailed: "Fellow folks, I really don't know about this, it's really impossible, I'll go and ask what's going on, okay?"

"You don't even have to ask, even the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion has been surrounded, how can this matter be taken lightly?" someone replied.

"Yes!"

Others smashed more happily.

The old man Huang was still talking, but his son Huang Er hurriedly grabbed his father and muttered: "No wind, no waves, maybe this is the case. The government doesn't want to expropriate the land, and it will be troublesome then."

Old man Huang, "Why is it so troublesome?"

Money is indeed touching, but Huang Er feels that this matter may not be as good as he imagined before, and he might not be able to get a penny in the end.

He has always been disgusted with his brother-in-law, thinking that he is just talking big, otherwise it would be impossible for him to eat Huang's family for so many years.

In his mind, Lin Wenliu's credit has gone bankrupt and he is not worthy of trust.

Besides, if I really got 2000 taels, my brother-in-law would use it to buy an official, and I wouldn't get any benefits.

If Lin Wenliu really bought an official job to do it, he, as a brother-in-law, might be able to stick to it.If you are afraid, you are afraid, the yamen in this capital are full of cannibals who don't spit out their bones, and it is not uncommon to see people who take money and do nothing.

Moreover, with Lin Wenliu's selfish nature, it would be too late for him to make a fortune in the future, and it would be his brother-in-law's turn.

The point is, in the past ten years, Huang Er has seen through this brother-in-law's behavior, and is also tired of it.

Seeing his father asking, Huang Er said: "Father, why don't you understand? If the government really doesn't expropriate the land, there will be no loss to brother-in-law. He is still the master of Juren. No matter where he goes outside with this title, You have a bite to eat. But you, an old man, have offended the neighbors all over the place this time, how will you gain a foothold in this world in the future. Do you want to go out every day, and you will be poked at the back and scolded by others? If you are not careful, you will be beaten Sap. Look at these folks, I'm afraid they even have the intention to kill my father and son."

He let out a breath, and said again: "Not to mention anything else, if you are an old man after a hundred years, I'm afraid you can't even find a coffin-bearer, it will be miserable!"

"Bah, you little bastard is cursing me to death!" Old man Huang spat at his son, but Huang Er's words made him secretly startled.Seeing that the belongings at home were about to be smashed, I shivered with distress.

If the government wants to expropriate land, as long as the money given is fair, just give it to them.

The ancients had more or less shame, and felt that the lion's mouth was really unkind. Besides, so many neighbors were involved. Thinking of the consequences of offending all the actual social relations, Lao Huang shuddered.

Unable to hold back anymore, he took his son to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to see if he could bring back that cheating son-in-law.

Thus, the previous scene happened.

……

Today, as long as the Huang family agrees to the government's compensation conditions and signs and pledges on the demolition notice, the crisis of Hu Baihu's family destruction will be resolved smoothly.

Things went on smoothly as Su Mu predicted, will the final result be satisfactory?

Hu Shun was not sure either.

The wait was long, and Hu Shun felt nervous one after another.

There are many things that fall short for the sake of the mountain.

At this moment, a yamen servant ran in quickly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hu Shunhuo went up to meet him and hurriedly asked, "How, what's the matter?"

The yamen servant said: "I signed the signature, and the master Fu Yin also knew about it. I asked Xiao De to come and inform all the relatives. The elder master said that this matter is over, and it is not a good thing. I will not come to meet with you."

Hu Shun said "ah", a stone fell to the ground, and he felt like tears were about to flow down.

Su Mu smiled and stood up: "Okay, since that's the case, we're going back. Zhu Shou, you performed well today. You really have the demeanor of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, which is impressive!"

Isn't it just demolition, small meaning.There will be many such events in the future, and if there are not more than ten or twenty cases every year, it is not considered imperialism with Chinese characteristics.

Compared with this time when the scholars attacked the government office, the later generations are even more outrageous, such as bombing, attacking public officials with incendiary bombs, raising the blue sky with a hundred-day flag, and putting up big slogans, there is no trick.

The government has also accumulated a whole set of experience in dealing with these vicious incidents.

To solve this problem, you only need to copy a case from later generations.

Su Mu's trick today is to "mobilize the masses to all the masses", and the effect is surprisingly good.

Hearing Su Mu's praise, Zhu Houzhao felt complacent: "It's so-so. I had a very fulfilling life today, Ziqiao. If there is such excitement in the future, don't leave me alone."
