Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 746 Give Back to the Clan
In fact, the system of clan fields and clan studies has existed since ancient times.

There are only a few hundred members of the Li family in Lijia Village, all of whom are farmers. They have made their living by farming for generations, and there have never been any high-ranking officials in the family. The family land in the family is only a dozen acres, so the Liu family does not understand These.

Clan land is the land shared by the clan.Most of the clan fields of big clans were donated by officials or rich people in the clan.

The output of the family field is the family property.

It is mainly used to provide expenses for the sweeping of ancestral tombs, the repair of ancestral halls and the addition of genealogy;

Secondly, it is used to support the poor, to set up ethnology, to cultivate and educate the children of the clan, to learn to read and write, and to be friendly with the clan.

These are what Li Mingyue has seen from the book recently. The feudal system in ancient times was not all dross, and there were still many merits.

Although there are many disadvantages in the clan land and clan studies system of the big clan, for the Li clan, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

The Li family is just a small fortune, and Li Mingyue is just an ordinary person. She can't help the world at the same time, so she can only do a little bit to give back to the clan and hometown.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't seem to understand, Li Mingyue changed the words to a simple one, and said it again in detail.

Mrs. Liu understood it this time, so she still paid for it by herself, built a school, bought property for the clan, and then let the children in the clan go to school for free.

This is a great thing to do good deeds, but Kai Liu frowned.

She calculated in her mind that 800 mu of fertile land would cost about 2000 taels of silver, plus building a school and other miscellaneous expenses, it would cost more than [-] taels of silver, which is not a small sum.

"How much money does our family have now? Is it enough?"

Before Li Mingyue could answer, she said again: "The 3000 taels of silver for your sister's dowry cannot be moved, and Brother Yuan's 2 taels of silver cannot be moved. At that time, he will have to pay it back. Besides these, how much silver does our family have? "

Li Mingyue didn't realize at first that this was what she was worried about, but when she recovered, she couldn't help laughing.

She leaned into Liu's ear and whispered a number.

Surprised, Mrs. Liu stood up all of a sudden, and the chair was brought to the ground.

"10 taels? Our family has so much money? Where did it come from?"

Li Mingyue said with a smile: "Of course I earned it, maybe I snatched it."

What she didn't say is that this is just a rough idea, and the sum of all kinds may be more than this.

Liu Shi didn't come to her senses for a long time, she only knew that the workshop she ran made a lot of money, but she didn't expect to make so much money.

10 taels of silver would be as high as a hill, she didn't even dare to think about it.

Suddenly I felt a little empty, my heart was up and down, like I was dreaming.

After a while, she said, "For your sister's box silver, add 2000 taels.

Let's also build the schools well, and build them into large tile-roofed houses with blue bricks, so that children can study comfortably.

Wouldn't [-] mu of family land be too little, or add a little more to make up [-] mu? "

Li Mingyue got up and pushed her back to the chair to sit down, then squeezed her stiff shoulders to let her relax slowly.

"My sister's box silver, you can give as much as you want, I have no objection.

The school will definitely be built well. I will draw sketches and find the workers who built the house for our family.

As for the family land, [-] mu is enough now, and it is not good to have too much.Depending on the situation in the future, we can donate again. "
