Chapter 240 Autumn Fu Five
"Sanbo download, this must be another new blackmail trick that Lao Ba came up with." Liu Guangbiao, one of his clan nephews, said helplessly.
Liu Guangbiao had studied business in Fucheng. He could keep accounts and knew all kinds of business tricks. He was considered a very great talent in Lingao, so the Liu family simply asked him to come back and become a general accountant to manage the family's industry. .
Liu Youren didn't say anything, and it goes without saying that Chen Minggang took the opportunity to blackmail him. The question is: do the Australians have any plans to own land? Are they just using this to scare away the tigers and force everyone to pay a few more "reasonable burdens"? Or do they really want to find out the number of acres in the county and start anew in the style of changing dynasties?
The discrepancy here is huge. If it was just to knock on the mountain and stun the tiger, the countermeasure would be easy. It was just to bribe Chen Minggang with more benefits and let him apply for another 100 acres of land, and he would pay extra money and food. If it was the latter, things would be much more troublesome.
Liu Youren has always been a very independent person, but he was also in a state of hesitation at this time. The Australians are no better than the government. This is a group that is more efficient, decisive, and daring to do things. He had long understood this. Wu Mingjin, who was considered a "good official" in the past, had never succeeded in doing anything in the county. When the Australians came, they just did what they said, and they got through many complicated things one by one. It wouldn't be surprising if they really wanted to conduct a county-wide cleanup of household registrations.
Trying to rely on the old methods to deal with the government and bandits is of no use to them. If you look hard, the Australians are not afraid of massacres, and will probably be happy to give them such an opportunity; if you look soft, the Australians are surprisingly honest, and monetary bribes are of no use to them.
What do the Australians want to do? Liu Youren thought that if he really wanted to own land, it might be the best choice for him to honestly report the number of acres of land at home. As for the land that was secretly placed in his own name, he could not busy. But if this was just a bluff, and he was so honest, he had just gained a lot of subordinates in vain, and was ridiculed in vain - this was something he couldn't afford to lose.
"What did Mr. Zhang say?" he asked. The so-called Master Zhang is Zhang Youfu, the intermediary messenger.
"He said he had been there, but Chief Wu, who was in charge of the matter, was not at home. Others didn't care about the matter and didn't know."
"Not at home." Liu Youren savored the taste of these words. "I'm really not at home." He murmured to himself. This group of people is really unpredictable.
"That Nong-Nong of the Heaven and Earth Meeting"
"Agricultural technician." Liu Guangbiao said.
"Yes, has Mr. Yun come?" Mr. Yun is Xun Suji. Because there is a shortage of agricultural professionals, he is very experienced in growing vegetables and was hired as a part-time agricultural technician by Tiandihui. Of course, he received special training in advance. The people of the Tiandihui now have a mysterious halo in the minds of the people in Lingao, so Ye Yuming would rather find a traveler who has become a monk halfway than use the indigenous agricultural technicians for the time being. This is just like the early days of reform and opening up, when everyone particularly believed in foreign products.
"He won't come until every third day."
Liu Youren calculated that it would be seven or eight days before he came, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. If this Xun Suji comes, we can try to find out what's going on inside them - it would be good to get some information.
It's a pity that they are not interested in the general benefits. Liu Youren once again sighed at the invulnerability of the time traveler. It’s really not customary for a powerful official to not accept bribes.
Liu Guangbiao was very smart and knew that the head of the family was worried about this matter. He had already had an idea in his mind, and now he felt that the time was ripe.
"Third uncle," Liu Guangbiao said carefully, "Meilan, who lives in the fourth room, is not young anymore. She is tall and has never been able to find a suitable in-law." As he spoke, his eyes rolled on Liu Youren's face.
"Oh" Liu Youren certainly knew what his nephew wanted to say. Money was not the way to go, but women might be. He has long heard that there are very few women in Australia, and many of them have nothing to do except watch "Secret Shadow Movie" to relieve their anger.
Liu Youren used to think about giving Xun Suji a woman like a maid as a reward. However, I thought that the maids in Liujiazhai were no better than the maids of wealthy families in the city. Not only were they from a peasant family, but they also worked hard all day long in the Liu family. They had thick hands and feet and dark skin. This leader has never shown any interest in them.
In comparison, it would be better for a girl from the same tribe to marry him. After all, the maid is an outsider. After marrying, she has the status of a slave. She has no status and will not be valued by others. If he really got married to Xun Suji, he would have to take care of his wife's family.
Liu Meilan is a girl in the fourth room. She has been ridiculed by others because she is tall and strong - she does not look like a girl. In the blink of an eye, she is nineteen and still has no husband. The nieces and nephews of this clan can be considered. This family's status in the clan is not high, so even if they don't want to, they don't dare to interfere.
Liu Youren nodded, thinking that it would not cost much: the Meilan family was a distant branch, and even if the Australians were defeated by the government in the future, it would not have much impact on the family. They were chess pieces that could afford to be sacrificed.
"Okay. You go and tell her father." Liu Youren made up his mind.
"Yes," Liu Guangbiao said secretly, but he had another dark intention in his heart. Liu Meilan had offended him in the past because of collecting sacrificial rice, and he had long wanted to take revenge.
"Huh, I'll throw you into the fire pit this time to taste the dripping wax." Liu Guangbiao heard a mysterious saying from an Aboriginal man in Dongmen City who had watched the Australian "Secret Shadow Show" that the Australians were very good at sexual intercourse. Very sadistic: He likes to tie women up like rice dumplings and subject them to all kinds of torture. He also likes to use hot candle oil to drip on women's vaginas.
Liu Youren didn't know his nephew's dark thoughts. He thought for a while and said: "Prepare a post tomorrow and ask to come on Saturday."
"Don't invite Master Chen"
"I'm afraid I can't invite him now." Liu Youren said, "Zhou Qi is his great disciple, words are just as effective."
"Come here, see Master Chen off." Huang Shoutong greeted.
"Don't dare, don't dare, please stay, Mr. Huang -" Chen Minggang left with his men with a smile on his face.
Huang Shoutong watched them leave the courtyard and called to the housekeeper: "Several of his men have been dismissed."
"Sir," the steward said, "each person received three hundred straw sandals, and they also entertained us with a meal and wine."
"Okay, go ahead." Huang Shoutong coughed, and his second son Huang Xunkun hurried over to help him. Huang Shoutong has been injured since participating in the counterattack last year, and his health is worse than before.
"It's okay." He said and asked, "Why don't you go to the county school to study recently?"
"My son is not a junior citizen, so he doesn't have to go in the first place."
"This can't be done." Huang Shoutong shook his head and said, "You are a scholar after all, and you have to win the imperial examination to shine in the family."
Huang Xunkun smiled bitterly and said: "Master, you don't know. Over the past 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the county has not produced ten people to be elected. My son probably does not have such a great blessing."
Huang Shoutong shook his head and said: "Although it is time to write a paper, you should not be too depressed." He returned to the hall of the back house and sat down, "Now that the county is disturbed by the Australians, everyone is a little uninterested in studying. The more In this way, you will have to work harder on your homework, so as not to waste it."
Huang Hankun originally thought that his father was going to discuss with him the matter of the Australian father-in-law harvesting autumn gifts. Unexpectedly, the opening remarks were a lot of clichés asking him to study hard. He couldn't help but wonder if his father was a little crazy.
"Master," he couldn't help but say, "what are you going to do about the Qiu Fu incident this time?"
"Hmph, this group of thieves have shown their disloyalty." Huang Shoutong slapped the table angrily, "They are the ones responsible for Zhangtian's affairs."
"Master, how should we deal with it?"
"This matter is quite mysterious." Huang Shoutong said, "What kind of Australian medicine did Lao Ba take to help the Kun thieves torment grain farmers so hard?" He snorted, "Does he think that the world will be like Kun from now on? The thieves really have lost the laws of heaven and kings."
"This kind of subordinate official is just seeking profit. There is no need for me to be angry."
"The matter of acquiring land is just a false shot for Lao Ba." Huang Shoutong said, "He has no intention of acquiring any land at all. He just wants to use this excuse to force everyone to pay more grain and tax, so that he can please himself. Australians can reap huge benefits again."
"Yes, my son thinks so too. The Kun thief was probably persuaded by Lao Ba and thought he could harvest more grain. Today I saw that Lao Ba was very lively. My son wants to give him some more personal benefits and distribute them to the people in the village. Reasonable burden, plus a few dozen stones added."
"No, although Zhangtian was a feint, the matter is not that simple." Huang Shou waved his hands in unison, "Who is the thief Kun, who would be manipulated by Lao Ba like this?"
"Then what do they want to do?"
"Money and food are probably not their main purpose," Huang Hankun said. "Think about how much profit Lingao can have. Besides, if they want to collect food and ask the liaison officer to take care of it, which village dares not to pay? Why pick the old man to get rich?" There are so many tricks and tricks - they are drunkards who don't care about drinking."
"Could they want to take advantage of the opportunity——"
"Killing chickens to scare monkeys," Huang Shoutong said with a sullen face, "I think it will be easier for small households to get through this time by taking advantage of this opportunity to establish their own land. Not only is it easy to get through, most of them will also get some benefits. For a big household like us, this level is not easy." It was easy."
Huang Henkun suddenly became nervous: Among the big families in Lingaoli, who hated Kun the most, he and Liu Dalin were probably the best. When dealing with the Kun thieves, one of them made suggestions and the other took action in person. The thief Kun probably already hated him deeply. But Liu Dalin had the title of "the only Jinshi in the county" and his reputation was so great that the thieves had no choice but to buy into it. From the last reopening of Molixuan Academy, we knew that Liu Dalin was their key target. In comparison, my own home is an excellent target. ,.
