Small drill wind patrols the red building

What is a sacrificial field? It is the foundation of a clan. It is the land used for sacrifice in the clan field. It is also the last reliance that a clan can leave to the clan members. Because, as long as the crime of extermination of the clan is not committed, even if all the property is confiscated , Jitian is also not within the scope of inspection.

Therefore, it is inevitable that aristocratic families will have to sell their land to overcome difficulties due to various reasons such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, but even if they sell the land of meritorious service, no one will use the land for sacrifice.

Under normal circumstances, in order to leave more support for future generations, the clan will spend part of the money to buy sacrifice land every year when there is surplus land.

After the clan members have made a fortune, they will also take out a sum of money and send it to the clan to buy sacrifice land. For example, Jia Amnesty, Jia Jing and others, every time they receive an official promotion, they will take the opportunity to send a thousand taels of silver back, so that People buy land for sacrifice.

The sacrificial fields are generally arranged around the ancestral hall or the ancestral cemetery, which has the meaning of worshiping and thanking the ancestors. Moreover, the sacrificial fields are registered with the government after paying a large amount of tax at one time, and there is no need to pay tax for private land afterwards. .

However, the annual income of the registered sacrifice land needs to be strictly registered. This income can only be used to help the clan members, such as the widowed, lonely and helpless clan members in the clan.

In addition, if there are clansmen who want to rush for exams or study, but their families are unable to support them, they will also use part of the money here, and it will be used to repair ancestral halls and ancestral graves, and the excess will be saved for natural disasters and man-made disasters. , Take it out for the relief of the tribe.

Some selfish people will falsely report the cost of studying and repairing their clansmen. This is an implicit rule, as long as it is not too much, generally no one will pursue it.

It is said that it is for the study of the tribe, but who knows whether you want to study or not, anyway, everyone has more or less shared the money, so naturally no one reported it.

As for the silver taels spent on repairs, just like Jia Dairu lied about the time when Jia Jiayi was studying in the capital, you can really investigate how many tiles were added and what kind of craftsman was used?

In fact, in order to allow those in the clan who really need relief to get a few more taels of silver, the brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, when they confiscated the land of the country, they have specially reserved enough benefits for them, the elders of the clan.

The Jia family was originally a group of mud-legged people, so there was no place for their ancestral graves, but they just circled a place with good geomantic omen on a nearby mountain, and buried them in the shape of a swallowtail.

After the Jiayan brothers made their fortunes, Mrs. Rong Guo reminded them of the importance of offering sacrifices to the land, so they went directly to buy a few mountains behind the village and used them as ancestral graves.

A [-]-acre arable field connected to the mountain was also directly included in the cemetery mountain range, and naturally became the private property of the Jia family. This is actually the hard work left for these clan elders.

But Jia Jing and Jia She never expected that the people of the Jia family were not only greedy for profit, but also so short-sighted that they even directly partnered with Mrs. Wang to sell the Jia family's sacrificial land to the Xue family for some immediate benefit.

Jia Jing and Jia She were so angry that they wanted to go to Jia Zheng and his wife to fight for their lives, and they wanted Jia Zheng to return the stolen land for sacrifice.

After Jia Lian thought for a while, he stopped them first, and said against their anger: "Father, Second Uncle, I think this is a good thing."

Jia She was trembling with anger, pointed at Jia Lian and cursed: "You said it was a good thing? I don't think you should be an official anymore. You are so short-sighted. Sooner or later, you will bring disaster to the family, so that you won't hurt Zhuo in the future." If you cause trouble, I will beat you to death right now!"

Jia Jing calmed down a bit, stopped Jia She who was really going to find the board, and then asked Jia Lian, "Why did Lian'er say that? You should know the importance of offering sacrifices to the clan."

Jia Lian knelt in front of the two of them and said, "Father, Second Uncle, what Jia Lian is going to say may be a bit unfilial. Please forgive Jia Lian's disrespect after hearing this. After that, Jia Lian is willing to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet and repent."

Jia Jing nodded and said: "Let's talk, we are not outsiders, it doesn't matter what we say is good or bad, and there is no disrespect to our ancestors."

Jia Lian was very grateful for Jia Jing's protection, and after kowtowing to Jia Jing, he said: "I work as an errand in the household department, so I get in touch with more people and see more things, and naturally I also heard some things about Jia's family. "

Speaking of this, Jia Lian looked at Jia She and asked, "Father must have heard some rumors about the four major families in Jinling, right?"

Jia Amnesty was pinned down on the chair by Jia Jing and his son, so he simply sarcastically said: "The four big families of shit, they are all fucking bastards who don't know how to look like, jumping around to death."

Jia Lian nodded in agreement and said, "Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families even made a talisman. It's so loud. It is said that even the Dragon King can't compare with our four families in terms of power and wealth."

"Listen to you two: Jia is not false, white jade is used as a horse for Tang Jin. Efang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling. There is no white jade bed in the East China Sea. The Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. There is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. .”

"This is about the situation of our four families. There are still many powerful families in Jinling Province on the list. The four families of King Xue of Jiashi are the four most powerful, extremely rich and noble families, so they are on the list. at the front."

Jia Jing's eyes turned black when he heard it, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen hurriedly beat their chests and rubbed their backs in fright, and it was hard for Jia Jing to let go of his anger. He really didn't know about it before: "Okay, it's a good one. The powerful, extremely rich and powerful four great families are afraid that they will not be targeted by the emperor and die!"

Thinking of something, Jia Jing suddenly looked at Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen plopped on the ground in fright. Jia Jing said: "Since you dare to pass it on to the government, it will never be recorded without the signature of the head of the family or the patriarch. Jia Zhen, Did you take part in this?"

Beads of sweat dripped down Jia Zhen's face, and Jia Amnesty immediately said in shock: "When I heard some rumors, I told you, don't get involved with prudish people, why are you Are you still involved?"

Swallowing her saliva, Jia Zhen carefully glanced at his father's ashen face, and after a while, seeing Jia Jing's face getting darker and darker, she could hardly suppress her anger.

Only then did he shrink his neck, closed his eyes, and his heart swayed, Mo said after saying "I have died early and passed away early" and said: "I didn't join Jia Zheng and the others, but I gave the seal to Shi Shi."

After Jia Jing heard this, he was directly pissed off by his stupid son. After all, he is really not young anymore. Hearing of his son's death behavior, it was his fate that he was not directly pissed off. big.

Jia Amnesty asked Jia Zhen to quickly get the medicine for smoothing Qi and protecting the heart, which made Jia Jing recover.

After Jia Jing opened his eyes, he supported his throbbing heart and asked, "What's the use of the official amulet?"

Jia Zhen continued to bite the bullet and said: "Specifically, my son is not clear, but he said that he can protect the local tribesmen. I also heard that this official talisman has been available in all provinces in recent years, so there is no care."

Jia Jing was so angry that he cursed: "Idiot! You are an idiot who was sold and paid for the money!" He simply turned his head and said to Jia Lian: "Lian'er, get up, don't kneel with this idiot, Tell me, what exactly is this talisman."

Jia Lian glanced at his father, saw that Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, so he got up, and said: "It is said that the official protection talisman is all from the families of local rich and famous eunuchs, written in order of wealth and rank. All the notes under the word of mouth are from the ancestors, the official titles and the house orders."

"For example, the first sentence of Jia is not fake, white jade is the horse for the king, it is about our Jia family, and the list of the Twelve Houses who stayed in Jinling will be marked at the end."

"It is said that as long as those who are on the list commit crimes, even the local officials dare not take care of them and dare not judge them. Otherwise, not only the official status will be lost afterwards, but even their lives may be lost there."

Jia Jing was able to stabilize himself now, but his face was so cold that he could freeze people, and the eyes he looked at Jia Zhen were almost like looking at a dead person.

After a long while, Jia Jingcai said coldly: "You really didn't participate too much? I tell you, if you dare to make up nonsense, if I find out, or get involved with Brother Zhuo, I will skin you with my own hands!"

Jia Zhen hurriedly cried: "My son really doesn't know about this, and he didn't participate in it. If my son knew that this talisman is such a thing, he wouldn't dare to hand over the seal if he was killed."

Jia She said angrily: "Your father is right. You are really stupid. No matter what it is, you can't leave your seal. No matter if you pressed it or not. With your seal, this accident will not happen. Now, you are the first to bear the brunt of the sinner!"

Seeing Jia Zhen's face pale with fright, Jia Amnesty couldn't bear it. After all, they grew up together, and the relationship between uncle and nephew is comparable to that of brothers.

So he turned his head and said to Jia Jing: "Second brother, don't be angry now, let's talk about Zhen'er later, let's take advantage of the fact that the matter is not serious, and find a way to deal with the aftermath first."

Jia Jing glanced at Jia Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, then at Jia Amnesty, then turned to Jia Lian and said, "Maybe you haven't finished what Lian'er said?"

As soon as Jia Zhen heard it, her scalp started to tingle. The matter is not over yet. It seems that today, my life is over!

Jia Lian sighed and said: "The Bafang people here in the capital are under our noses, and they have to restrain themselves when doing evil."

"Especially after the separation of our Rongguo Mansion, you and your father have never spoiled them, and the old lady has lost her rights. Naturally, they have to keep their tails between their legs."

"However, the clansmen in Jinling, because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, have done all kinds of evil things, robbing men and women, taking other people's good land, etc., which caused the people to complain but had to swallow their anger. Even the local officials wanted To handle a case, you have to check the official amulet first."

"After confirming that there is no relationship with these people, the case will be judged impartially. If the person who committed the crime can ask the person on the official protection talisman to be a guarantee, then the case will be judged according to human feelings."
