Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade in the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu had already cleaned up, Lin Ruhai had dinner and gifts at Jia's mansion, and took Lin Daiyu back.

After talking with Lin Daiyu about her life in Jia's mansion, Lin Ruhai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my daughter lived alone in a room, so if he had a face-to-face meeting with any of the Jia family's gentlemen, he would be furious.

Jia Lang and Jia Lang's mother, Mrs. Xing, Lin Daiyu also mentioned it.Of course, it is mainly Mrs. Xing. By the way, compare Mrs. Wang.

Lin Daiyu said something indistinctly, but didn't say any more.

The younger generation said that the elders were not good after all, but Mrs. Wang behaved like that, wouldn't it be hard to swallow her breath if she didn't say it.

Lin Ruhai understood in seconds, and let her daughter just relax.He also said that he was going to write a letter to Jia Lang and asked his daughter if she wanted to write a few words.

Lin Daiyu blushed, and finally nodded.A piece of paper was sent with only the word "safety".

Lin Ruhai was very happy as he stroked his beard. Although he had instructed her, the girl was still polite.

The days are full and the time flies by.

It has been two months since Jia Lang came to Yuan'an County, and he met Jia Lian once every ten days to exchange news.

The two of them are brothers, and they didn't want to hide it. The villagers of the two counties also became close because of their relationship.

I led the villagers to build the canal, and things went smoothly. Although the stream was not as fast as it was before the diversion, the water flow was still coherent.

Most of the villagers are still a little ignorant and feudal, so Jia Lang specially asked people to build a stone tablet. There is a stone tablet in front of the stream, with some hazards and daily maintenance written on it.

Jia Lang personally explained the regulations to the villagers, and the regained stream made the villagers go crazy with joy.This will be the stream that Jia Lang said would be dangerous, and the villagers are all excited, patted their chests and promised.

The next step is the newly reclaimed land. Jia Lang counts land by household, with five mu of land per household.Many families have brothers, and once they are ten years old, the family will be separated.

There are a lot of weird names on the household registration book, like the eldest dog, the second child is called Gou Mao, the third is called Gou'er, and the fourth is called Gouwei. . .

When Jia Lang saw the name on the household registration book, he almost laughed under the table.

Not only did he bend over with a smile, but he also presented the household registration book that had been copied, and he was almost certain that Yuan Heng saw the appearance of these names.

In addition to the five acres of land for each household, there are still dozens of scattered acres of land left. He made arrangements for this land in front of all the villagers.

"This land is divided into four parts, [-]% of the income is shared equally with every household in the village, and the other [-]% of the income is given to the elderly, orphans and widows, and half-grown children without adults in the village.

Another [-]% is the tax paid to the court, and the last [-]% is used to send the children in the village to school. As soon as Jia Lang finished speaking, everyone immediately became noisy.

"Everyone be quiet, let me finish first." Jia Lang's prestige was established now, and when he spoke, everyone looked at him eagerly.

"First of all, there are 450 households in the village. Each household has a maximum of six people and at least one person. There are only 270 households with young adults. What about the rest?" Jia Lang looked at them, and the villagers dared not look directly at them. Jia Lang.

"I know that you want to have a few more fields after dividing the family. You just want to have two more meals in the future. But, have you thought about what to do with those who have no adults at home? Those orphans and widows, those old people whose sons died what to do?

People, have a little conscience.

This newly reclaimed land does not grow food, but medicinal materials, which make money.Those medicinal materials are expensive, you big bastards can't do it.In the future, let experienced old people, widows or some sensible children in the village take care of them.

These will be written into the rules and regulations, which are your village rules, as long as you are still people in this village, you must abide by them.

In the future, I have already contacted people for the medicinal materials grown in these fields. At that time, they will give you the seeds for free and teach you how to grow them.Regardless of whether it is good or bad, people will accept it, but you should not think about selling it at a high price.

After all, they provide you with seeds, teach you how to plant them, and finally give them to you. The price must be lower than the market.However, I can assure you that it will definitely not be lower than [-]% of the market price.

These will be written into the contract, and each of you will have to press your fingerprints at that time. Everyone is a part of this village and everyone has a share.

At the beginning of each year, merchants will give you part of the money first, half of the money will be settled in the middle of the year, and the remaining money will be settled at the end of the year.

[-]% of the proceeds are shared equally among every household in the village.The other [-]% of the income is distributed to those elderly people who have no one to support, children who have no adults, and those orphans and widows.

No matter how many people are in each household, it can only be counted once.You either receive the first [-]% or the latter [-]%, you can’t get both, you know? " Jia Lang roared loudly.

"I know." Although the villagers still don't understand, they also know that this is a good thing.These days, so many people died, maybe I was the only one left that day.

Those tens of acres are not enough to distribute to everyone, so it is better to follow Mrs. Jia's arrangement, and they will be guaranteed in case something happens.

"Thirty percent is not shared equally among those people. If there is only one widow in the village, wouldn't she immediately become the richest man in the village?" Jia Lang saw that the villagers did not have much objection, so he made a joke.

The villagers also laughed.

"According to the money shared equally by each of your households, it will be distributed to those who are unable to support themselves. If there are individual cases, the elderly are sick, or the widow's son wants to marry a wife, the village chief will send more depending on the situation.

Of course, it is impossible to give as much as you want, and the village chief will discuss with you how much to give.We are all in the same village, so don't worry too much about those one or two points, saving a life is also a matter of accumulating blessings.

What's more, who can have smooth sailing from birth to death? Everyone has a difficult time.If you can't help, then forget it.If you have the ability, you should accumulate blessings for your descendants.

Do you think this method is feasible? "After Jia Lang finished the call, his voice became hoarse.

"Okay." Although the ancient villagers were ignorant, they were still very simple.

"In that line, [-]% of the tax is a common practice. It must be paid, not only for these fields, but also for your fields. Everyone has nothing to say about this. Let's talk about the last [-]%.

Although everyone has never read a book, they also know that they still need to study if they want to be successful these days.Even if you are not an official, you still need to be able to read and write if you are in business.

So the last [-]% is used to run a private school and hire a teacher. When the time comes, your children and grandchildren will have a good future after studying, right? "

For Jia Lang's last proposal, the villagers agreed with both hands and feet.

These days, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars are still the most respected.

People these days, as long as they have enough to eat and drink and have a little bit of hope, they will naturally work hard for it.

The situation on Jia Lang's side spread to the neighboring Yuanhuai County, but no one Jia Lian brought it up. The villagers took the initiative to find Jia Lian with eggs and vegetables.

I'm afraid that my baby will study one day later than the county next door.

This has a good start, and then it is easy to develop.

The letter Jia Lang sent to Yuan Heng made Yuan Heng laugh out loud, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Yuan Heng looked behind and found that Jia Lang only gave each household five acres of land.

Yuan Heng remembered that when the Supreme Emperor returned from victory, he ordered the whole country to recuperate.When he was seven or eight years old, each household had seven mu of land.

But Jia Lang distributed the land to the residents after reclaiming the new land, but only five acres of land were distributed.Even if each household is divided, it is absolutely impossible for Jia Lang to divide more and more.

So……

3.7 acres!

Seeing this number, Yuan Heng jumped up from the dragon chair in shock when he saw this number.

Based on a family of five, each household needs at least six acres of land to have food and clothing.

But now, at the feet of the emperor, every household can't even support half of the people.

Yuan Heng didn't know what to say for a moment, and had nothing to say.

He waved to his servant Wang Liuwen.

Wang Liuwen came forward immediately, Yuan Heng only said a few words, Wang Liuwen's face changed suddenly, and he immediately rushed out of the shop with light steps.

Yuan Heng subconsciously wanted to recall Jia Lang, but then he thought that Jia Lang's return to Beijing might be a bright target, and it would be better for him to stay in Yuan'an County.

Jia Lang is a good official, but he is not suitable to be an official in the court.

Thinking of Lin Ruhai again, he immediately wrote another imperial decree, granting Lin Ruhai as the prince's junior teacher, to go to the study to teach the prince to read.In addition, there is a talk about Jia's mansion, and Jia Baoyu, Jia Lang's younger brother, will be the prince to accompany the reading.

As the heir apparent, the crown prince had four companions, and the other princes only had two.Accompanying reading refers to those who have more status. If it is a book boy, it is coated, and there is no limit to the number.

Accompanying reading is actually the foundation for the princes to develop their power, and they belong to the category of people who have seats.The book boy was in charge of being beaten for the prince, the two were not the same.

Jia Baoyu is actually a bit higher than the book boy, but he is not qualified to be the prince's companion.

The prince had met Jia Lang before, and the prince was deeply impressed by Jia Lang's uniqueness, especially Jia Lang's intention to show off, and the prince thought that Jia Lang was knowledgeable and omniscient.

The prince also had some expectations for Jia Baoyu, who was a few years older than Jia Lang.

The imperial decree is not needed for this trivial matter in Jia's mansion, the royal servant just came to say something.

But these simple words made the whole Jia's mansion wish to hang red lanterns all over the house and spread red all over the house.

When Jia's mother got the news, she hugged Jia Baoyu's sweetheart and cried.Mrs. Wang straightened her waist while wiping her tears.

No matter Jia Lang or Jia Baoyu, they are relatives to Sanchun, and they are happy whoever is promising.Congratulations to Jia Baoyu with all the people.

It's just that the time of arrival was not coincidental, Mrs. Wang was talking, seeing Tanchun who came in first, her eyes could not help showing a bit of air and disdain.

Tanchun sneered twice, and said good things to Jiamu, which made Jiamu laugh again and again.Turning around, he said to Baoyu: "Look, brother Lang is right, Baoyu is a great fortune. As soon as he recommended it, the emperor agreed. Second brother, when we meet the emperor, can you tell us What does the emperor look like?"

When Yingchun heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stepped forward to bless Baoyu, and diverted the conversation.

If Xichun felt something, she also surrounded her, blocking Mrs. Wang's eyes from looking at Tanchun.

Tanchun didn't speak loudly, but Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang who were in front of her could all hear her.

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, seeing that the situation hadn't happened after all, she wanted to stare at Tanchun, but was blocked by someone.

Jia's mother restrained her smile, thought for a moment, and said to Mrs. Xing: "Tan girl is right, Lang'er is a good one. If Jia Lang hadn't recommended this time, Baoyu might not be able to become the prince's companion. .

You are good at teaching your son. I have a pot of red coral in mine. I will ask Yuanyang to carry it to your house.You have worked hard all these years. "

It was rare for Mother Jia to ask Mrs. Xing such a question, which made Mrs. Xing a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Wang saw it from the side, and she was about to gnash her teeth.
