Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 92

The banquet hosted by the Du family was very lively. Almost all the people in the village came, and many people from the town also came.

Although Mrs. Qi was heartbroken to death seeing the high expenses, but later the villagers said that the banquet was so good that no one else could compare to it. She was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

After the excitement, life still has to go on.

But first of all, Wei Dashuan's marriage is imminent.On the side of the eldest aunt, there are also relatives from the same family to help, and they will go to the wedding banquet at that time.

The eldest aunt also helped the Du family a lot in the past, and sent them any good things. This time, everyone agreed to give the Wei family a heavier gift. In addition to gift money, silk and satin were also sent over.

In Du Youzhong's case, in addition to taking a courtyard house in the county, there were also a few shops in the town donated by Qin Yuanwai and others.They were all sent as congratulatory gifts.

Not to mention cash and so on.Looking at these things, Du Yu couldn't help but think of Niu Juren. He also won the exam at the time, so someone gave him things. It's probably very likely, because that's the way it is.

No wonder he was able to marry a beautiful lady, but later he returned to Jinxi Academy because he was not good at socializing.It may also be because I know that my recruit is very lucky, and I will have no chance to go further in the future, so I might as well stay in Jinxi Academy.

But the matter of Niu Ju's family has nothing to do with Du Yu's family.

The main reason is that now that you have money on hand and a little bit of power, how to arrange the next step is very important.

Now everyone calls Du Youzhong the master of juren, old man Du is called the old man, Du Youxian and the others are also called the third master Du, the fourth master Du and the fifth master Du.

If you win the lottery, you will have [-] mu of land under your hands, which can be exempted from land tax.Some people still came with land and wanted to put the land under Du Youzhong's name, and then become tenants of Du Youzhong's family. In this way, only part of the rent was given to Du's family, and they could get more good things.

Du Youzhong discussed with the whole family this time, instead of buying another land for all of them, he also allowed several families to become his family's tenants and signed a contract. Naturally, the rent was much less than after the land tax.Moreover, there is such a big tree as Juren, and no one will dare to spoil their fields casually in the future.

However, a large number of people still feel that their land is in their own hands. Even if they have to pay land taxes, it is better than being a tenant.

Everyone has different ideas, and it is not required that everyone thinks the same.

This time, I asked Uncle Du's family to put a few acres of land under his name, and they didn't want them to rent a house, but Mrs. Zhang suddenly disagreed. She was afraid that Du Youzhong would become more and more powerful. Turning her land into theirs, she couldn't win even if she filed a lawsuit, and she didn't dare to make trouble. She just thought that this side wanted to take her land, and she was suspicious, so that in the end, there was no one here. More to say, let her do whatever she wants, treat her as a donkey with good intentions, and don't hang her name if she doesn't have her name.

Of course, there were still other shortages, and they also took out money to buy land, and the family immediately had [-] acres, including those listed in their names.

When you become a Juren, you are not afraid of others taking advantage of your rent. After all, people do not fight with officials. Although Juren is not considered an official, in everyone's heart, that is an official!
"The field must be too busy. If it doesn't work, let's hire a long-term worker." Du Youzhong said.

In addition to the tenants' land, there are also their own. The brothers are usually too busy to fertilize and so on. It's better to get a few long-term workers, and then it will be much easier.

Mrs. Qi hurriedly said: "If you hire a long-term worker, where do you live? We don't have enough land here, so we might as well find a short-term worker when the time comes, and we'll be paid when we're done."

Du Youde said: "Mom, where can I find short-term workers at that time? Others also have fields in their homes." He is a leader in farming, so he naturally understands that it is a good suggestion for elder brother to find a few long-term workers.

Mr. Du also said: "Don't be the same as before the boss didn't win the exam. Now it's different. We have to add people on hand."

"What's wrong? You still need someone to serve you? You are beautiful!" Qi Shi said.

"You old woman is unreasonable. Why can't you hire long-term workers? We have more than 100 acres of land on hand. Let a few sons take care of them. How can we take care of them? Besides, the boss is a master. Let him Is it reasonable for brothers to work in the fields?"

Du Youxian and the others all said: "Father, we are comfortable farming, what can we say and what can't be justified?" They were not allowed to work, and they were still uncomfortable.

"It's not that you won't be allowed to work, and you can't all be allowed to do it. This long-term worker must be hired." Anyway, it is also the home of Ju Ren, so it is very appropriate to hire a long-term worker.

Mrs. Qi said: "Okay, you said to hire long-term workers, but where do you invite them to live? Where do we have a place for them to live?"

The owner's family lives in this yard, so it's not unreasonable for a long-term worker to live in it.

Du Youzhong said: "Mother, it's easy to talk about the house, and we can build another one at that time, but the long-term worker must be a good candidate, honest and willing to do it. The third brother and the others have more experience than me, so let the third brother take care of this matter." Let them do it. The few shops in the town, we can't do business now, so we will rent them out, and we will just collect the rent at that time. I entrust the middleman to handle this matter, so mother doesn't have to worry about it."

Speaking of these shops, Mrs. Qi was still a little worried, and asked Du Youzhong, "You said Qin Yuanwai and they gave us shops, but they didn't want you to do things for him. If there are difficult things, I would rather not use this shop. I can't drag you down!"

"Mother, I'm just a recruiter. I don't have an official position yet. Even if I want to do things for them, I don't have the right. Don't worry, the business of this shop is fine, just wait for the rent to be collected later."

The shops in the town are worth five or sixty taels of silver, which is not a big deal.If he really has the ability to win the Jinshi and become an official, then he can't accept these things.

But at that time, it was not uncommon for him to be able to earn these things himself.

According to Du Yu, Qin Yuanwai's behavior is called investment, and the capital invested is not much, even if they lose money, they don't feel bad.

What's more, being able to make friends with Master Juren is a matter of mutual benefit for both parties.

The yard on the Du's side is surrounded by other people's homes, and it's not easy to expand. We can't let others move away, that's definitely unrealistic.If you want to build another house, you have to find another land.There is also a lot of wasteland in the village. If you want it, just tell Qin Decai, pay a little money, and go to transfer the property.

It's just that Mrs. Qi thinks that the Fengshui of this old courtyard is good, so she doesn't want to move out, and has lived in it for decades, and has feelings for it, as does Mr. Du, and he doesn't want to move elsewhere, thinking that this place is not bad.

In fact, the old yard is big enough. There are east and west wing rooms, a vegetable garden at the back, and five main rooms. At the beginning, Mr. Qi and Mr. Du thought that they would have more sons, so they would build more houses by then?Moreover, this piece of land was also wasteland at that time, and it was not worth two dollars at all, so they bought it big.

Thinking about it now, the Qi family really had the foresight to build a few more houses, and there would be room for them.

But this time, if we really want to build it, we should build it towards the good side, don't pay attention to the big, just pay attention to the good.

In the past, their houses were all half earth bricks and half green bricks, but now they must be all green bricks.

"It really needs to be built. We can't live here?" The Qi family is still a little bit reluctant to part with the money. Now that the daughter-in-law is married, there is no need to use the house to decorate the facade. What is the use of building the house? Waste of money isn't it?

Although, their family is doing well now, but they have to be frugal.

But Mr. Du said: "Build it, build it, we have lived in this house for decades, it is already old, and the new house has a new look."

In private, Qi said: "Youzhong is a Juren now, is it reasonable to still live in such a house? You want others to poke his back." Speaking of which, they are no different from landlords now, and their son still has Fame really needs a new look.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi also knew that this was indeed the case. Not to mention anything else, she already had hundreds of taels of silver on hand. Although let’s just say, she would have to pay back favors in the future, but she still had land at home, and there was The shop and the rent can also be collected, so there is no need to worry about the problem of food at all.

Qi's family now has a deep understanding of her in-laws, why do they have to work so hard to support their husband's education? Isn't it because they hope that their husband can become famous in one fell swoop and live the life they are now?
At that point, the silver and money are not a problem at all, but how many people can really be selected as scholars and candidates?Some people may not have that fate after a lifetime of delay, such as Mr. Du.

The Qi family thinks that she is luckier than her in-laws, otherwise how would she have a good life now?
After discussing the matter of the house, we will still build a new green brick and tile house on the original foundation. The main house will be built first, and the east and west wings will be reserved for residents. After the main house is built, the east and west wings will be built.

"In this way, we don't have enough room to live. The elder brother and the second brother have to go to the academy to study, and the academy doesn't provide any accommodation." They don't live in the courtyard of the academy anymore.

Mrs. Hu said: "Your father is a Juren now, can't he still teach your elder brother and second brother?" Yes, in the academy, it is a scholar who teaches them, but her father is a Juren. Du Yu is really confused. With such a good teacher, and my father was a teacher in the academy before, why can't he teach the eldest brother and the second brother?This is a complete waste of resources.

Seeing that my father has no plans to go back to the academy, he can just teach the eldest brother and the second brother.

However, after a while, Dean Chu of Jinxi Academy asked someone to bring a letter to my father, and my father went to find Dean Chu by himself in a mule cart.
