prosperous age

Chapter 24 Chapter 24
Father Wei is still envious of Qiu Luan who made great contributions on the battlefield and later got promoted and made a fortune, but after hearing Wei Guangde's words, is it not that important?
"Father, didn't you say that last time you heard the news in Zhenjiang, the imperial army avoided fighting? Why does this man named Qiu Luan dare to lead the Datong army to fight the Tartars?"

Wei Guangde asked when he thought about it, remembering what his father said when he first came back.

"I didn't know that, it was written in the mansion newspaper, and that's what I heard people say at the beginning."

Father Wei also thought about it now, it seemed that there was such a thing, a bit contradictory, but he didn't bother to think about it.

As for Wei Guangde, he searched the memory in his mind again, and made sure that he had never seen the news of the Minister of the Ministry of War named Ding being beheaded, and there was no information about the general named Qiu Luan, so naturally he would not be able to find it in later generations. The history of this era is white to ask.

Of course, if he had known that there would be such a time-traveling adventure, and read more articles and reports in the Ming Dynasty, he should have known that in the 29th year of Jiajing, Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tumed Tribe, made a "tribute to the city" of the Ming Dynasty. "A war waged by failure.

In this war, Qiu Luan, the commander-in-chief of Datong, who was still regarded as a hero by Wei Guangde and his son at this moment, achieved the goal of preserving Datong by bribing Altan Khan inconceivably, and Altan Khan turned to Datong after receiving the money. Invaded the Gubeikou Great Wall and marched into Beijing.

This was a farce completely directed by a shameless person, and it also awakened Emperor Jiajing, who had always relied on his brilliance and martial arts, from the illusion of a prosperous and powerful country.

Immediately afterwards, I was repeatedly rubbed on the ground by Al Da Khan, because after the raging in the suburbs of Beijing, I retreated completely, and Emperor Jiajing's face was gone.

But when the crisis was resolved, Ding Rukui, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was Yan Song's party member, was an abandoned son, and was finally beheaded by the furious Emperor Jiajing and abandoned the market.

But when he got here, Wei Guangde suddenly remembered that the one who forced his family to sell the land this time, he didn't know whether it was the civil servant or the vassal king who was sealed in Jiangxi.

If it is a vassal king who wants to buy the land by force, then he can only admit it, but if it is a family of officials, there seems to be another possibility.

At this moment, what Wei Guangde thought was that the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War would kill if he wanted to. If the buyer this time was also a civil servant, there might be bad luck in the future.

Of course, as a small six-rank hundred household, they definitely can't afford to offend civil officials, even if they are seven-rank magistrates, they can't fight.

At that time, my descendants also said on the Internet that being an official, especially a high-ranking official, is actually a high-risk occupation, unless you can really keep yourself clean.

As for the current Ming Dynasty, people in my impression say that Zhu Yuanzhang is rather stingy, and the salaries for officials are very low, so corruption in official circles is common.

Although Wei Guangde has not passed the examination of fame, let alone become an official, and does not know how much the court's salary is, he seems to be able to imagine that in the future, the buyer will be beheaded for publicity if he commits a crime, and his family property will be confiscated. A piece of "hidden field" seems to have operational value.

"Father, the land must be sold, and the other party doesn't want to be known by more people. When we negotiate the price and sign the contract, can we try to blur the location of the land in the contract as much as possible? It’s best for our family not to sign.”

Wei Guangde tentatively said, after all, these are just his own thoughts, and it is not clear whether it is operable or not.

"Fuzzy location?"

When Father Wei heard that his son had suddenly moved from the battlefield in the capital to the matter of selling land, he thought about it and understood what his son meant.

The transaction involved this time is "Yintian". Naturally, the land transaction contract will not be recorded in the Yamen, but it is just a handover between the two parties, and the middleman will guarantee it.

Because of the concealment of the field, it is impossible for people in nature to look outside casually, but they will find someone who knows the power of it to sign and pledge, and exist as a witness.

In ancient land transactions, a contract was usually written in written form, but there is no standard format today. There is also a picture behind the land certificate, which clearly shows the four points. Everything is written in words, which naturally has a little operability.

Although there is a high probability that the other party will find someone to do the middleman, but if you can't keep it, you will let yourself sign the contract as a middleman, which is actually to trap them.

Because it is Yintian, it is natural not to state who the buyer and seller are in the contract, but it would be really troublesome for Old Wei to sign the middleman.

For the buyer, what he wants is that Dad Wei will not make troubles for nothing in the future, and shut up after taking the money.

"I probably understand what you mean. When the time comes to see what they mean, I will definitely not sign on it, because the identity is not suitable."

Father Wei looked at Wei Guangde and said something meaningful.

Seeing his father's expression, Wei Guangde knew that he should know what he meant. The big brother Wei Wencai's eyes lit up, indicating that he also guessed something, so naturally he didn't bother to say anything, but thought about it before he said it. Later words.

"I think, if they bought the land, they must also cultivate it, and it is impossible to leave it unused.

At that time, Dad can still try to talk to them. The eldest brother will help them be the head of the farm and watch the farmers below plowing the land. "

"Let me be the boss?"

Wei Wencai immediately said loudly, with obvious unwillingness in his tone.

"If possible, it would be best for us to take down the management of this land."

Wei Guangde ignored his eldest brother, but looked at his father and said.

"It's probably difficult, so I can only mention it."

Father Wei stroked his beard and said something, and now he is more sure of Wei Guangde's idea.

If the buyer is lucky, of course nothing will happen, but if something unexpected happens, it's hard to say.

"You can't just mention it, you have to say something."

Wei Guangde didn't think so, but felt that the fight should be fought.

Although the land is sold, in principle, the buyer should decide what to do, but after all, this land is special, isn't it?

Wei Guangde went on to say: "Father, you have to make it clear when we talk, we can't support so many people on the land of our hundred households, but our people can work on their land.

They can grow anything they want, as long as they can give the people below a bite to eat, everything is done according to the routine.

As for whether it is divided by unit or quota, it is easy to say.

As for our family, helping them look after the land, the benefit of Zhuangtou is also important.

No way, when they bought the land, they didn't have anyone to watch over it. "

"It can be said that if you try your best, you can at least earn some income. Otherwise, if you sell it, it will have nothing to do with our family in the future."

Mrs. Wei and Wu understood what her son meant now, and she was an official of a hundred households, and by the way, she also became the head of the land.

As long as it can be done, I can get some benefits from that piece of land every year.

As for the buyers, since the land was bought with money, they can pay as much as they should when collecting the rent.
