Chapter 18 Tang Shuan gave birth to a capable son (Part 1)
"Although the Chen family is doing things too badly today, I am indeed a little reckless," Tang Que did not let him sit after entering the room, and said directly, "I also thought about it on the way back. Whether it was because of today's water release or the Chen family's private transfer stone before, the root of the matter was still on the acre of paddy fields. My father is anxious to wait for the money for medicine and there is no industry at home, so he is thinking about selling this acre of paddy fields. After thinking about it, he still thinks that it is most suitable to sell it to Uncle Liu. I wonder if Uncle Liu can help my family save this urgently?"
"The Chen family is in trouble first. You are young and reckless. Listen to what you said." Liu Li, who was thinking in his heart, was as deep as water, but after Tang Que said he wanted to sell the paddy fields to him, his dark face changed after all. Why did he come to the Tang family to buy paddy fields a while ago? Why didn't he wait for it just now? It's all for paddy fields!
Although Liu Lizheng has a different identity now, he is a farmer who grew up in the village. His attitude and thoughts towards paddy fields are no different from those of other villagers. What he often likes to think about on weekdays is to bring the dozens of acres of paddy fields to his own hands and pass them on to his descendants. If this wish can be fulfilled, Liu Lizheng will be worth it in his life.
People who have never planted land will never know the temptation of land on farmers, especially in the Tang Dynasty in the agricultural society, which was like paddy fields. "Nephew of the Tang family, what do you mean by this? Do you think that Uncle Liu is a villain who takes advantage of the situation..."
"I clearly asked Uncle Liu for help, why did it get involved here?" Tang Que's experience determined that he would not have any land complex. In fact, when he understood this matter, he had the intention to sell the paddy fields. On the one hand, he had the intention to sell it. On the other hand, it was a little intention to cause trouble for it. On the other hand, it was more important that the local paddy fields were scarce, so its value was greatly overestimated. The price of a mu of paddy fields could buy five mu of slope land, not counting the different types of rice and noodles. In terms of grain output alone, the output of five mu of slope land is three and a half times that of one mu of paddy fields. After checking the accounts, the acre of paddy fields was not as good as selling them for slope land, especially in the current situation of my own family.
Of course, he chose this at this point in time to say that this matter is not purely for the food account. If today's matter is settled successfully, it will be necessary to force Liu Lizheng to do his best. One acre of paddy fields can bring such a result of killing two birds with one stone, so why don't he do it?
Seeing that Liu Li was hesitating and not speaking, Tang Que thought about it before he thought about what he was thinking about. He didn't wait for him to go around, "If Uncle Liu can't believe me, then I will ask the village scholar Yan Lao Xueyu to come over and make a death deed document?"
The so-called dead contract is a one-time sale contract that can't be redeemed even if you have money in the future. Liu Lizheng was waiting for this sentence. After Tang Queyi said it, the hesitation on his face naturally dissipated, "If the nephew says this, your uncle Liu really can't help you, but this paddy field is different from ordinary land, where is your father..."
"My father was so injured. As the only son, I should take on the responsibility of family affairs. Besides, I was fifteen years ago, and now I have made a contract in the yamen to count."
Once this matter was finalized, the atmosphere between the two became very harmonious. Liu Li was wearing a smile that was hard to hide from his eyebrows and his words were gentle, as if he was Tang Que’s uncle.
"There are a few things in this village every year, as long as there are no dead people, it's nothing to worry about today." Liu Lizheng looked dissatisfied, "It's not easy to tear the money for this medicine. Although the Chen family is the one who is causing trouble, I just saw it. Although your father was injured, he was mainly angry when he fainted. On the contrary, the Chen family was injured more and more severely. After all, the people were using it.
You are moving the iron shovel. Okay, except for Chen Laosan, all the legs are swollen like blowing. If you don’t hit other places, everyone says you are crazy and want to see me. You have planned it long ago? It’s not like you’re going to open a sickle and harvest wheat. Even normal people have to be busy. The four strong laborers in the Chen family were instantly ruined by you. How much loss would this be?"
Tang Que just smiled and said nothing. What should he say? No matter how he said it, it was not appropriate. "How to calculate the rice in the paddy fields? Uncle Liu, you have read it, this year's harvest will definitely be ruined. Seeing that the paddy fields should be returned to Uncle Liu, you can't bear to let my family go empty in the last season, right? Another thing is what to do in the future. After this incident, my Tang family and his Chen family have settled a big grudge. There are three strong tycoons in his family, and my family is only one seedling. What if the Chen family gets healed? What should I do if I make trouble again? Uncle Liu, you must have a charter."
"He dares? Good nephew, don't just swear to me, Uncle Liu. Just perform this drama today. The Chen family has to think about it even if they want to make trouble. What do you think? Why are you fighting today? Chen Linpi just wants to make a fool of your family. Now the paddy fields are gone. He is too sing to make you anger?" Liu Lizheng stood up and said that he was tired. He sat down by the bed without waiting for Tang Quirang. "As for the loss of that acre of paddy fields, don't look for the Chen family. I'm adding fuel to the fire! Of course, your family is in a bad situation now and cannot be wronged. Alas, for the stability of the village, I will suffer some losses and pay compensation. Who made me be the unlucky Lizheng!"
He shook his head and sighed. Liu Lizheng licked his lips and said, "This is what we do. This year, your family has rented me to half the rent of my 15-acre slope land, and only 25% of it is enough."
Tang Quexiao looked at Liu Li acting there, and waited until he finished the performance, and then he said leisurely: "It's nothing that the people in the countryside fight privately, but the Chen family dared to move the boundary stone between the fields and the acres of land privately! This is a serious crime clearly recorded in the "Law of the Tang Dynasty". Uncle Liu, I remember this correctly?" In any agricultural society, land is the most important means of production, involving the livelihood of the people and the social stability, so every dynasty's laws concerning land are extremely strict. For example, the Chen family's private transfer of boundary stones is indeed a serious crime.
"Of course, since it's Uncle Liu, you are dealing with this matter, my family will not make any more trouble for your sake, so whether the Chen family will be charged with this crime is all due to Uncle Liu! Holding this, I think the Chen family will no longer feel so sorry for paddy fields! That's one acre of 700 cents of land, how much rice can you produce in a year?"
The reason why Liu Lizheng agreed to compensate for the losses was that he planned to make a small acre of 700% paddy fields in the Chen family. Of course, he knew that the Chen family was reluctant to let go, so he prepared a soft and hard way. The soft way was to act like he stood on the side of the Chen family, saying that the Tang family had brought the medicine to compensate and he was forced back; as for the fierce intimidation of this trick, Tang Que had already told him.
Liu Lizheng has gained all the benefits in the village for many years, most of which rely on the farmers who do not understand the law and often get a good man if they get a bargain, but today this trick has hit a wall.
"Why did Tang Shuan give birth to such a son like you?" After all, it was boring to hide it. Liu Lizheng, who stood up, waved his hand with great momentum: "I don't want the two and a half points, I'll just give you all the rent this year. For nothing else, just treat me visiting the injured Brother Tang."
Tang Que originally thought that it would be good to reduce the rent by 10% again, but he didn't expect that Liu Lizheng was not very brave. However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. His Liu family did not talk about paddy fields and an incense and candle shop in the city, but there were more than 400 acres of slopes alone. He really didn't care about his rent.
However, it is one thing for people not to care, but Tang Que cannot help but appreciate it. "Then thank you Uncle Liu. When everything you want is done another day, you must prepare a generous gift to congratulate you."
