Chapter 95: Taking refuge
Xiao Ye naturally didn't know that the clan was talking about him behind his back, but he was also unhappy. This was a living dog skin plaster. There was no harm in applying it to his body, it was just disgusting!
‘Lanling Xiao’s family is so unbearable!’
Xiao Ye shook his head secretly.
After all, in the two dynasties of Qi and Liang, the coup of Shijun, the palace was full of scandals. Take the Southern Qi, in just 33 years, there were two deposed emperors, one in Donghunhou and the other last emperor, and the adult emperor Xiao Daocheng and Xiao Luan. The former reigned for three years and the latter reigned for five years.
Nanliang was even more unbearable. Since Xiao Yan starved to death, the country collapsed immediately and Hou Jing was raging inside, but the local royal families attacked and killed each other. It was only after the foreign surname Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbian joined hands to eliminate the Hou Jing Incident, but the country also returned to others.
Every time Xiao Ye heard others say that he was a top family in the Southern Dynasty and a descendant of the Qi and Liang royal family, he felt deeply ashamed. He was really unbearable to his ancestors. With such an ancestor, he still hoped that his descendants would have a lot of future prospects?
‘It seems that we can only wait for my uncle to leave to make the difference and separate.’
Xiao Ye sighed deeply. The five brothers and sisters of the Xiao family were all useless. Once Xiao Song died, they would fight for power and profit, which would separate the clan. This was also a good opportunity for him to interfere in clan affairs.
To tell the truth, he didn't want to use this method to deal with his clan, but the clan repeatedly touched his bottom line and he got tired of it and got upset. Since it was impossible to cut off from the clan, he could only take it into his own hands. Otherwise, the clan would become a burden, sooner or later, overwhelmed and crushed by life.
After all, the clan has great righteousness, but only famous things cannot be given to others in the world. The leader of the Xiao family is better to be the one who is the leader of the Xiao family!
"Duke Jie Yuan, Duke Jie Yuan!"
When Xiao Ye was secretly turning his thoughts, a cry came from behind.
When I looked back, I saw Xiao Yi and a few young and strong men chasing him in a ox cart.
'oh?'
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and stood there. These people were all born in vain and did not belong to Xiao Song's group. He couldn't help but guess. It seemed that Xiaojiazhuang was not a solid piece.
Several people quickly caught up with him, and Xiao Yi bowed with apologies, "The uncle in the clan has a short knowledge, which is really too much. Duke Jie Yuan should not argue with him!"
Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, who do you think of me? No matter what, uncle said, he is an elder. He is an expert in his face. Even if there is a mistake, it is out of good intentions. How could I care about it?"
"That's good, that's good. We are still worried that you will leave with anger, Duke Jie Yuan."
Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Another young man named Xiao Ze followed, "As long as Duke Jie Yuan is still surnamed Xiao, they are all from our Xiao family. Only those old guys are short-sighted. If they don't give it to him, we will give it to him. Please come and get on the bus!"
The Xiao family never forgets the glory of their ancestors. After dinner, the older generation always guides the south of the Yangtze River and sighs to the younger generation: A hundred years ago, it was our territory!
Under the influence of ears and eyes, many younger generations have a sense of mission for their family and take it as their wish to revitalize the clan. Unfortunately, their hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper. I don’t know where to start.
Xiao Ye asked, "Do your parents know you are here to send me?"
"I know, I know!"
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Not everyone in the clan has prejudice against the Jieyuan Communiqué. Our families and more than ten other households have contacted us. We will invest the land to the name of Jieyuan Gong. The rent that should be paid will be a lot. In the future, Jieyuan Gong will be like going to Beijing. You can also pick a few of us from us and take it with you."
Having said that, I almost recognized my master!
In this era, I still valued promises. I bent down and bowed down and respected the lord, and basically had no room for regret. After all, reputation is still very important, and few people were willing to bear the bad reputation of the three surnames slaves.
Xiao Ye was happy and said seriously: "Although the Xiao family did not give birth to me, I have the kindness of raising me. I am also proud of being the top family of the Southern Dynasty and descendants of the Qi and Liang royal family. Thanks to you all, I, Xiao Ye, should take on the important task of revitalizing the clan and work with you to restore the family's past glory."
All of them showed joy.
Xiao Yi hurriedly said, "Mr. Jie Yuan has this volunteer, so we are relieved. Come on, Mr. Jie Yuan get on the bus first!"
"No, let's talk while walking!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand and walked towards Jiangdu with several people.
As we chatted all the way, before we realized that the Jiangdu city gate was already in sight.
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Duke Jie Yuan, we won't go to the city anymore. We will come to find you in a few days."
"Okay, you guys go slowly!"
Xiao Ye didn't force it and nodded.
Several people bowed their hands and turned around and left.
Xiao Ye seized the time to enter the city. When he returned to the store, he saw that there were people surrounding him.
"Mrs. Xiao, we will give you the 60 acres of land, five people!"
"Oh, my house has no land, Mrs. Xiao, look at these wives, they are smart, so why not just keep it by your side!"
"I have two shops in the south gate. I want to join the name of Mr. Jieyuan and offer 30% of the net profit every year!"
Xiao Ye immediately accelerated his pace and saw Du Shi's helpless look on her face. Qiao Niang also collapsed and her eyes rolled straight.
"Ye'er, you're back!"
When Du saw Xiao Ye, he stood up in surprise.
Everyone in the room came to invest in the tenant. Du was inconvenient to make decisions for Xiao Ye, so he only dealt with it. However, the neighbors were not easy to meet each other. She kept bombing, and her temples twitched and her mind was thrust into pain.
"Mr. Jie Yuan is here!"
"I'm going to see you for Mr. Jie Yuan!"
Everyone bowed to Xiao Ye one after another.
"Friends, fellow villagers, thank you for your kindness!"
Xiao Ye bowed to the surroundings and said, "I am happy that the villagers are willing to invest in my family, but the court has a law and orders. Juren is only exempted from 200 acres of taxes, and four households. I just came back from the clan and have a full amount. I am really sorry!"
"Isn't no one in charge of the imperial court?"
Someone muttered.
Xiao Ye said: "You don't look at who the old man in this county is. Mr. Zhang can't rub the sand in his eyes. Once it is found out, I will be scolded by myself. If I treat the villagers as escaping, it will be a big trouble!"
"this……"
Many people who planned to vote for the vote were hesitant.
Indeed, Zhang Jianzhi is known as the blue sky in the county, but he will never tolerate violations of laws and regulations.
Why did Zhang Jianzhi collect too much tax? Because he severely cracked down on evading and concealing reports, he kept saying the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the rich gentry and households were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to pay a lot of taxes and pay a full amount of taxes.
"It's okay to stay these little girls, right?"
Another woman asked.
Xiao Ye looked at it.
He is in a fairly beautiful face and dressed up in a gorgeous manner. He is mostly under the name of serving Du, and finds an opportunity to climb onto his own bed, and is pregnant with a flesh and blood. Even if he cannot be a wife or a child, he is still a concubine. If he has a concubine, he has to snatch some of his money from the bowl.
"snort!"
Qiao Niang snorted secretly, obviously not happy.
Xiao Ye himself was not happy, so he would rather buy maids and maids from others. Can the villagers really work? Aren’t they afraid of being chewed behind their backs?
Moreover, Du's literary talent is weak, and when he encounters a powerful person, he may be able to climb onto the head of the master.
"I'm so sorry, this aunt. Everyone is a fellow villager. I'm looking down and seeing each other. Now I'm sending someone to my house and letting me use it. Isn't it worth my life? No, no, absolutely not!"
