After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

In the following days, based on the memories of his previous life, Shi Nai found the elders of the big, third, and fifteenth houses in Jinling, and unexpectedly wanted to investigate the sacrificial fields.

Because Shi Nai knew that nearly half of the sacrifice fields that the clan had bought in the early years had already been jointly sold by these three families.In his previous life, he didn't know what to do, and was almost fooled by them.

If Qifang's cousin hadn't been forced by them to have no choice but to find him here desperately, he would have been played for a fool!

This time, with the experience of his previous life, Shi Nai secretly found Qifang's cousin and Jiufang's nephew, and promised them that if they could collect the evidence of the sacrifice of the land from the three reselling clans, they would make a new one. the principal.

Qifang's cousin has been oppressed by them for a long time, and hates them to the bone.The nephew of Jiufang, on the other hand, is bitter and mean by nature, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, so he is a very useful knife.

Because of the sufficient preparation in advance, this time, Shi Nai caught the three of them by surprise, gathered all the clansmen, and made their crimes known to the public.

This time, they were really outraged.

Although the historian was a rich family in the previous dynasty, after dedicating the city to Tai-zu, in order to show his loyalty and not to be remembered by others, the ancestor donated most of his family wealth and used it as military expenses.

Some of those sacrificial fields existed at the beginning and were preserved by the grace of the Tai-ancestor; the other part was purchased from the private treasury when the ancestors saw that the lives of the clansmen were really difficult when the world was first established.

It can be said that these sacrificial fields are the source of income for the Jinling Ershifang people.Although there are many sacrifice fields, there are more clansmen.After being dispersed in this way, the money that each family receives every year is barely enough for chewing.If you want to accumulate some wealth, you have to think of other ways.

Many ordinary clansmen can only do other jobs, or just rely on the little things distributed by the clan to eat and wait to die.But it is different for the big house, the third house and the fifteen house who are in charge of the sacrifice fields in the clan.

This group of little witty ghosts never bothered to save money, they directly set their minds on the sacrificial fields.

At the beginning, they were not very courageous, and they just missed a little bit when calculating the income at the end of the year.

Crop land, since they came to watch the sky, they didn't get much, so no one doubted it, but thought that the harvest that year was not good.

If they could restrain themselves and stop making further advances, even if Shi Nai found out, they would turn a blind eye and close one eye.After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

But people's greed is endless, and once they open their mouths, it is very difficult to make further progress.

Because people are lucky.

They thought: since no one will find out if we take a little, then we will definitely not be found if we take a little more.If you take a little more, you won't necessarily be discovered... right?

Not all the twenty-families are fools.But Marquis Bowling's Mansion is far away in the capital, they have no right to speak, and they are powerless to fight against these three families. As long as life is still going on, they will choose to swallow their anger.

Then, the people in the third room suddenly discovered: It turns out that the lifeblood of the people in the twenty rooms is in their hands!

With this cognition, they became even more rampant.

If they hadn't been a little sensible, the sacrifice field would have been sold for more than half.

It's also because they have been the masters of the family in Jinling for a long time, and with the death of Lord Hou, the Shi Nai brothers are just boys in their early twenties, and they have never even grown beards, so they inevitably look down on them.

And in his previous life, Shi Nai was indeed almost fooled by them.

But this time, they hit the iron plate.

Shi Nai dealt with them neatly and expelled the clan directly, which made the other clansmen present a little scared.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the second master was not easy to fool, and felt a little awe in their hearts.

And Shi Nai wanted this effect.

——These people spend his money and want to fool him, how can they have such a big face?

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Shi Nai took a sip of tea calmly, and said in a calm tone: "I also know that everyone's life is difficult. Don't talk about you, it's the Hou's mansion in the capital." , and began to lay off the servants."

All the people of the tribe felt a "thud" in their hearts, and secretly guessed: Could it be that the Hou Mansion is going to cut off the alms given to their poor relatives?There is also the matter of offering sacrifices to the fields. Will those that were sold be bought back?

Everyone looked at each other, gave way with their eyes, and the cousin Qifang who made a contribution this time was pushed out, and said with a smile: "Nowadays is not good, we all understand We didn’t investigate this matter ourselves, so we shouldn’t have troubled the second and third masters. However, we don’t have any official figures in our room, so we had to brazenly bother the two masters. May I ask, where are all the sacrificial fields in our family now?"

Shi Nai paused, and stared at him for a while, until the flattering smile on his face froze, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he chuckled softly, with a bit of sarcasm. The tone said: "Since it has been sold to others, it is their property."

His eyes slowly swept across the faces of the crowd: "I would like to advise you all: A gentleman loves money, and get it in a proper way. Don't worry about other people's things."

This could be said to be a pun, and cousin Qifang blushed immediately, and said awkwardly: "The second master taught me." He covered his face with his sleeve and retreated behind the crowd.

Everyone was in a hurry.

——According to what the second master meant, not only could this sacrificial land not be brought back, but the Hou Mansion would not plan to help them any more in the future.How would they live their lives?

Taking advantage of the opportunity of drinking tea, Shi Nai lowered his eyes and sneered: I am so used to them!

Knowing that the family is not rich, but one or two are lazy, and they all count on Hou Fu to clean up for them.

Shi Nai decided to take over the proxy rights of Jinling from Xue Duan. When he observed his filial piety in the past three years, he would first take charge of it himself, and he had to get rid of the problems of these clansmen!

When they were anxious enough, Shi Nai gave Shi Ding a wink, and Shi Ding understood, he stood up and sang blushingly: "Second brother, we are a family after all, it's not easy to watch them starve to death."

After receiving Shi Ding's words, a group of people hurriedly echoed, both inside and outside the words, all to make Shi Nai show mercy.

Shi Nai sneered, and remained silent.

But Shi Ding, who spoke for them before, suddenly became furious: "Shut up!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Compared with the contempt this group of people had for their brothers when they first arrived, Shi Ding couldn't help giving his brother a thumbs up in secret: Good job!

He looked around the crowd with a look of resentment: "For those of you who don't want to make progress, I'm too embarrassed to plead for you. You force my second brother to show mercy, who will show mercy to our brother? Tell you the truth , the money that our ancestors borrowed from the imperial court back then has been spent by you all these years!"

He took a breath, and said with a puzzled face: "I don't understand, the Marquis Mansion welcomes you, why can't you spend it?"

Everyone lowered their heads, even if they were unconvinced in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak back right now.

Seeing that they were restrained, Shi Ding said to Shi Nai again: "Second brother at least show them the way."

Everyone's eyes were stained with hope again, and they looked at Shi Nai eagerly.

Shi Nai was silent for another moment, as if he was finally persuaded by Shi Ding, he glanced at them indifferently, and asked, "If you have an errand on hand, stand up."

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do. After hesitating for a while, seven or eight people stood up one after another.

Shi Nai glanced around and found that these few people were wearing the most plain clothes.But the clothes were washed very clean, and there were no traces of mending. It seemed that they didn't pretend to be poor on purpose.

"Tell me, what do you all do?"

Those people were a little embarrassed, and the other clansmen actually showed contempt in their eyes.

Shi Nai thinks this is really funny, the parasite has the face to despise self-reliance.

But he quickly realized that he was influenced by the universal values ​​passed down to him by the system immortal.In their era, people generally believed that it was a shame for the children of aristocratic families to run lowly jobs.

What these people did was definitely not a noble job.

But Shi Nai just wanted them to understand: their historians are really not considered aristocratic families.If they continue to rely on their identities, they will starve to death.

Taking note of those disdainful faces, Shi Nai said to those seven or eight people with encouragement: "The family is difficult, and you can make a living by yourself, which is very good."

Those few people slowly became more at ease.After a while, one of them said: "Returning to the second master, I found a job as a jailer in the Yamen, and now I am the head of the prison."

He is Shi Ke, the eldest son of Shiqifang.Shiqifang is an anomaly among historians with a thriving population, and the population has been withering.Although Shi Ke's age is not much older than Shi Nai's, he is said to be Shi Nai's uncle in terms of seniority.

Therefore, Shi Nai hurriedly got up to avoid his courtesy, and said in his mouth: "But uncle, you don't need to be too polite."

This is another place where Shi Ding admires his brother.

——With so many clansmen, his memory was dazzled, but Shi Nai was able to remember the faces after reading it once, and he matched the numbers.

But he also knew that his brother was born good at remembering people. This was a talent, and he couldn't envy him.

Let's talk about Shi Ke, the jailer is a serious and humble servant, and he is still the kind who does not accumulate virtue.

But Shi Nai looked at him with admiration.

——Don't look at the jailer's bad words, maybe he will be scolded for having a son.But this gap is a real fat gap.

Which prisoner is missing a table of wine and food for the jailer, and a penny?The accumulation of a little makes a lot, and you can lose dozens of taels a year.

Therefore, such good errands are usually handed down from family, without any skills and connections, outsiders simply cannot squeeze in.

Although he was able to be the cell leader, he must have borrowed the power of the historian.But with so many historians, he is the only one who can take advantage of the situation. This is where he is better than others.

Shi Nai doesn't mind helping those who want to climb up.

"How many boys are there in your family?"

Shi Kedao: "There are two, one is seven years old and the other is five years old."

Shi Nai said: "Whoever you see has the talent for reading, you can send it to me. I will teach him a few words. Even if he can't take the imperial examination in the future, he can still be a clerical secretary."

The crowd was in an uproar for a moment, looking at Shi Ke in the wrong way.

——Whether it's going to the mansion or studying, it's a dream for people like them in the border areas.

But now, such a good thing has fallen on Shi Ke's head, how can it not be envied and hated?
