Chapter Thirty-fifth: Gloomy Clouds
This one will open until very late, so late that Ma Ruyue fell asleep and heard the sound of the gate and got up.
Alert has always been her occupational disease, and she can hear a little sound clearly.
"My father is gone, and the upper party will pay the taxes." Jiang Zhiyuan said coldly: "The second old master cried and said that he was sorry to the Jiang clan and his father, so he would not be able to protect Jiangjiaba and let the next capable clan leader."
What?
Give up the pick?
"What's even more funny is that someone recommends me." Jiang Zhiyuan sneered: "There are still Dingyou as an official in the court. I am filial and obedient, and I have to be the patriarch. What kind of virtue can I, Jiang Zhiyuan!"
"It's just that great skill." Ma Ruyue smiled and said, "The Second Young Master didn't take over?"
Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at her, could he let him take over?
"If I do, I will take it." Ma Ruyue said: "Anyway, I can't save it. It's better to divide the land and soil equally according to the number of people in the clan, and divide it into each household. At that time, I will plant the land and pay taxes by myself according to the assigned land."
This can also be exempted from rent, and you can still survive by paying only taxes.
"Impossible, Mr. Jiang said that when he bought the yield per mu, he said that it belonged to the public and could not be turned into private property." Jiang Zhiyuan said: "The land cannot be divided, and the rules of the tribe cannot be changed, but the people in the tribe must fill their stomachs and live a good life."
These conditions are quite harsh.
Have he ever wondered how many people were hungry during his tenure as patriarch?
Wherever you look, are singing and dancing, eating full?
He didn't think about it. He was a privileged class. They held meetings every ten days and half a month to eat meat; they could use the keys to open the warehouse door; they could have a meal for various reasons...
Ma Ruyue really looked down on the rules of this Jiang clan.
Why don’t you let yourself be the patriarch?
"Sister-in-law, your surname is Ma, you are a woman." If the clan leader is a foreign daughter-in-law, and even the daughter-in-law cannot enter the gate of the ancestral hall, how can she become the clan leader?
"I know." Ma Ruyue raised her eyebrows: "I know myself, which is a great misfortune among the Jiang clan."
The Jiang clan is selfish and selfish and has selfish intentions.
Jiang Zhiyuan felt that he couldn't tell the truth from his sister-in-law.
When I was in the prefect, I heard from my father and mother that the Jiang clan members felt that they were united, friendly and hardworking. Now I realize that everything is just a superficial phenomenon.
Even their father and mother were deceived by them.
If his father knew that his descendants would be treated like this one day, would he spend a lot of money to buy 600 acres of land into the clan?
"Actually, I think your father is so generous." Other officials buy houses, shops, land and farms, but he is better, giving it to his clan members 600 acres. Ma Ruyue thinks that the prefect Jiang is ill. Otherwise, he has received favors from the Jiang clan members, such as those who grew up eating a hundred families, and then the hundreds of families raise money to support him in exams. If he becomes an official, he will naturally be grateful.
"No, my grandfather had done some small business in the early years and left Jiangjiaba very early." Jiang Zhiyuan said: "The money earned by my grandfather to support my father to go to school to get married. I still had some impression when the Jiang clan members came to my father."
In Jiang Zhiyuan's memories, Ma Ruyue knew that there was not much intersection between them, but contacted them again after becoming the magistrate in Jiang Kun'an.
Moreover, the person who was looking for Jiang Kun'an at that time was the second old man Jiang.
"Why do I hear that there is something wrong with this?" Ma Ruyue frowned. Based on her years of experience as a police officer, she felt that there must be a plan in it.
No one is concerned about the poor in the downtown area, and rich in the deep mountains have distant relatives.
The old man in the Jiang family's big house may be the first person to go into business. He made a fortune in a small business, and at the same time broadened his horizons, and then he worked hard to cultivate his son to study.
Jiang Kun'an went from a peasant child to a businessman, and finally won a good future through his own struggle and became a magistrate.
At this time, the Jiang clan members were shocked to find talented people in the big house, so they hurried to contact us.
Jiang Kun'an could not withstand the temptation, or he was indeed capable, so he was proud of his family and placed 600 acres of land as the property of the public, under the second grandfather of Jiang. He wanted everyone in the Jiang clan to have food and clothes.
The glamorous Jiang clan members were valued in the magistrates and even the prefects.
In the early years, Jiang Kun'an was there, and he could even flatter and praise him.
Now, the tree is falling and the macaques are scattered. After seeing it, I still want to eat it, so I can't do it in vain.
"Sister-in-law, it's very late, let's take a break." The more Jiang Zhiyuan saw, the more he felt bored. It's not unreasonable that the fragrance of the world is smelly.
Let's have a rest, she's eating a commoner's meal and is worried about the patriarch's heart.
Ma Ruyue yawned a big yawn and walked into her room without any image.
Jiang Zhiyuan felt a strange feeling when he saw her leaving. This sister-in-law's words and deeds were too far apart, and she didn't know which one was the real one.
Ma Ruyue thought she would have to be praised for making such a delicious dish.
As a result, everyone was frowning when they looked at each other in the kitchen.
It’s not that my mother died, why are you so sad?
"I've passed this house, and I don't know how to live next year?" Bai sighed: "Some people used to say that the food in our kitchen was not delicious and the food was a little bit small. In the future, I can't even get the few."
"Sister-in-law, this is not true, right?" Tao went up and said, "Why pay so much tax, what's left to eat for more than 400 people."
"I said that it's okay not to pay taxes, so I'll give up the dynasty." Bai Shi said: "It's all the children of the Jiang family. Whoever wants to be a dynasty? The men of our old Jiang family are all farmers, and no one can do martial arts." Such a person will die when he goes to the army.
"Has the second old master agreed?" Li asked in a low voice.
"Choose one of the two. The second old master and the elders of the clan also discussed for most of the night. They thought that leaving behind was the most important thing. They would rather give taxes than let the children suffer." Bai Shi said: "I think he thought very thoughtful."
That being said, what should I do if a person has no food to eat?
"So, it's good to have food in the future. Don't be picky." Bai Shi said: "We should save money in our kitchen, don't waste it. Starting today, cook ten kilograms of rice less every day."
ah?
Ma Ruyue was shocked when she heard the news. She cooked ten kilograms of rice less and one bite would have to be less for each person. It was not enough, but now even the gaps between the teeth still have to be kept in her hands. How can the people below live?
There is nothing wrong with saving, but there seems to be something wrong with the direction of saving.
If you really want to save money, you should take the lead from the second elder of Jiang in the clan.
