Chapter 2. Weakness is not to be bullied
Liu Neng pushed the door open and saw his nephew Liu Wenyang. His father Liu Da went to Zhang Luo's two taels of brown rice to see if he had ground to eat or to make porridge with wild vegetables and leaves. In order to take care of his son these days, he was already hungry and had some rice and grain. Of course, he had to clean up some of it.
When Liu Wenyang saw Liu Neng coming in, he couldn't help but look at him, wearing a rabbit-eared hat with a broken hole exposed with cotton wool, holding his hands, and looking honest.
Withdrew his gaze, Liu Wenyang stood up slightly and called out awkwardly: "Uncle San".
Liu Neng was very happy, "Oh, Ah Yang, you really woke up... I thought your father was talking and playing, thank goodness, you were finally safe... Don't move, just lie down, the doctor said, you need a good rest."
While speaking, Liu Neng carefully supported Liu Wenyang to lie down again, and then said, "How is it? Is your head still fever?" He reached out and touched Liu Wenyang's forehead, "It's quite cold, it should be better."
"Thank you, Uncle San, for your concern, I feel it's okay." Liu Wenyang looked at the caring, familiar and unfamiliar "Uncle San" in front of him.
"It's okay, I think it's better to ask the doctor to come and have a look! Ah Yang, why are you... you can't think so? If the scholar is gone, we can do something else, and there's no need to jump into the river to commit suicide... You are the only seed of our Liu family. Your aunt is not good at belly fat and won't even be able to get one. What if something happens to you, what should we do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman suddenly said, "Who said I can't lay eggs anymore? Even if I can't lay eggs, it's your man's business! My seeds are not good at home, but I blame the fact that I have not harvested them. Liu Neng, are you lacking morality?!"
With the sound of speaking, a woman came in from outside, black and fat, big and thick.
Seeing this, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but admire his third uncle. He was not a hero who could catch a girl. He dared to marry such a woman, and that was a warrior!
Besides, when Liu Neng saw the woman coming, his face changed drastically, like a mouse trembling all over when he saw a cat.
The fat woman was even more rude and grabbed Liu Neng's ear and said, "You can jump for me, and you can jump for me! If you are not careful, you will jump here! What are you doing? What are you giving food or clothes?"
"Ouch! Let go! Let go!" Liu Neng grinned in pain, "I just... just come and take a look!"
"Look? Is it that simple? Have you put our things here again?"
"No! Nothing!" Liu Neng was desperately denied by being pulled in his ear.
At this time, Liu Da brought the two taels of brown rice in a bowl, "I washed it with water and just made porridge..." and then he saw the fat woman.
The fat woman also looked at him, and then looked at the brown rice he was holding. Liu Da subconsciously wanted to hide the brown rice behind him, but he didn't move faster than the fat woman, so he grabbed it, "I said no! This brown rice is obviously ours!"
Liu Neng was completely limp, "I, I, too... help me!"
"What a big deal! You don't have enough food for yourself, but you still help others. Do you think you are a good family?!" The fat woman spits out and flies.
"It's not an outsider, it's his own brother!" Liu Neng said with his neck shrinking and his head drooping.
"Brother? Are there any brothers who can feed you for free? I think you don't beat your stupid donkey for three days, and you're itchy and it's so tiring!"
Seeing that the woman was speaking viciously, the old charlatan Liu Da, who had been swallowing his anger, couldn't help it no matter how good the temper was. "What's the use of eating and drinking for free? What's wrong with my own brothers? You woman is too mean!"
"I'm mean? Haha, even if I feed my brown rice to pigs and dogs, I won't give it to you! What's wrong?" The fat woman put her waist on her waist and looked like a scheming woman.
"You--" Liu Da was so angry that he couldn't speak.
As the saying goes, men do not fight with women, and the other party is a shrew who is famous for the future of this area.
Seeing the fat woman proud and arrogant look, Liu Wenyang, who had been watching the fun just now, couldn't help it.
"I said to you, aunt... Don't be too clear about being a human being. If you slouch your favors, it will be good for anyone!"
Liu Wenyang's words made the fat woman stunned, and then pointed at Liu Wenyang's nose and cursed: "Oh, you are a short-lived ghost who is useless to commit suicide by jumping into the river... So what if you can figure it out? Do you think you are a scholar? You are only a commoner! You can't go to the fields to farm, you can't buy or sell, wait for shit to eat you!"
Vicious, so vicious!
After all, I said that it was your nephew, and he actually asked me to eat shit?!
Liu Wenyang was also angry and laughed instead of anger and said, "Of course you have to eat shit, but it's not me who eats shit, but you!"
"What are you saying? Little bastard!" Anyway, the other party has been removed from fame, and the fat woman no longer fears anything. She just scolds the scholar for being a crime or a waste.
"What, I can't tell you clearly? Do you want me to explain it to you?" Liu Wenyang sneered, "If I remember well, my father and I still have three acres of fertile land. These three acres of fertile land have always been rented by you and my third uncle, right?"
"What kind of rented species? That's ours!"
"Your family? Ha, do you have Tian Qi? If you have any, take it out and take a look!" Liu Wenyang glanced at her.
The fat woman changed color and said nothing.
"No! But I have the proof in the fish scale book and the yellow book! It proves that the three acres of fertile land belong to my father and I!" Liu Wenyang's voice was very loud and his momentum was also very strong.
Zhu Laoba, who had just been established in the Ming Dynasty and had a strong roots as a tenant, deeply remembered his hard days when he was a farmer. While abolishing all kinds of harsh taxes in the Yuan Dynasty, he also surveyed the land and population and formulated the "fish scale book" and "yellow book" as the basis for the formulation of taxes and service.
The fish scale book is the land book, which is the basis for collecting taxes. The so-called "yellow book" is the household registration book, which is used as the basis for the assignment of servants in the department.
Although the fat woman is an outstanding representative of a group of foolish men and women, she usually uses more effort than her brain, she also understands that the booklet is not her own name, because every year when paying land taxes, it is paid according to four people. Needless to say, the three acres of land are in the name of Liu Da and his son.
Seeing the fat woman stopping her voice, she no longer had the arrogance she had just now, Liu Wenyang didn't care about the coldness. She resisted the dizziness in her head after recovering from the serious illness, and crawled out of the quilt - yes, Liu Yingxiong had been hiding in the quilt just now.
Now, Liu Yingxiong got out of the bed. He wanted to use the historical knowledge that was at the forefront of the times to teach this ignorant old lady a lesson!
Seeing Liu Wenyang get off the bed, the fat woman took a step back for no reason. She looked like an originally irritable bear. She suddenly saw a sick tiger that was stronger than herself, and her eyebrows showed a sense of timidity.
Liu Wenyang took a breath, then cleared his throat and said, "According to the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, you and my third uncle rented our land. We are the landlords, you are the tenants. You have to pay us a certain proportion of rent every year... Dad, have you seen this money?" Liu Wenyang's eyes turned and turned his head to ask Liu Da.
Liu Da shook his head, "No!"
"My father said no, that is to say, your family has always owed our three acres of land to rent! Well, of course, these rents can also be replaced by grain. The current market is: one stone of rice, one tael of silver, a thousand feet of money, and ten stagnant of money. The conversion of wheat is reduced by two tenths of rice..." Liu Wenyang was talking nonstop.
"Now the yield per mu of land has been basically determined, and you know how much you collect, so you have to give us at least three dou of rice and five dou of brown rice every year... You rent it for three years, multiply each by three, and calculate it will be 33 to get nine, nine dou of rice; 3515, fifteen dou of wheat, except for the rice and wheat that my third uncle usually saves us, and then give you a 20% discount. You still owe us at least five dou of rice and six dou of wheat!"
Liu Wenyang used multiplication formulas to calculate very quickly. Even if the experienced accountants did not take the abacus, it would take a long time to calculate the accounts like this, but it only took a few seconds for him. In short, this set of rhetoric made the fat woman stunned. It took a long time to turn around. After thinking, he actually wanted to spend five dou of rice and six dou of wheat, which was enough for the family to consume a year, so he jumped up.
"How could it be so many?" the fat woman shouted, "Little bastard, can you settle the score? Don't think that I'm illiterate and can be bullied!"
"Is that so? It's fair to calculate this. If you count the interest over the past three years together, calculate it according to the profit-making profit, or calculate it according to the compound interest calculation method, your family will owe more than that!" Liu Wenyang gasped and said this, feeling the head was heavy, and his head became dizzy. In order to conceal his body shaking, he waved his sleeves handsomely. Unfortunately, the sleeves of the cotton coat were too short and too broken, and did not take away the elegance of a cloud at all, but instead felt shabby.
"What is the profit and the compound interest calculation method...?" The fat woman's head is full of water.
Liu Da and Liu Neng are also confused. What Liu Wenyang said just now is like listening to a book of heaven.
Liu Wenyang pointed to the fat woman's head, then turned her hands back, "Oh, it's not that I said you, just your IQ... You don't understand if you said it!"
"But there is one thing you can understand..." The topic changed again, "It's okay if you don't pay the rent, I'll go to the yamen to sue you! If you don't take out the food, you will have to be in a hard prison!"
The three words "squatting in a hard prison" are sonorous and powerful, and shocking!
What, lie in a hard prison?!
The fat woman was completely suppressed by Liu Wenyang's aura. To be precise, she was frightened by Yi Feiyang's series of calculations. Just like what she said, she was illiterate, and she would not be a few dou of rice or a few dou of wheat. What if it was really the same as what Liu Wenyang said, she was going to jail?!
"Why, still don't believe it? Well, now you have a document with me and say that the fields are all yours, and my family has no signs. You can sign and seal them to prove that everything is facts. If it is fabricated, it will be sent to the yamen. Ren kills and fights will never regret it... As for me, I will write a lawsuit tomorrow and sue them to the yamen. At that time, all facts will be decided by the government!" Liu Wenyang's tone was stern, and there was no doubt.
"I, I don't know what you are talking nonsense!" Fat women are afraid. If you have any words, don't go to the yamen. If you don't say bad luck, you will easily make you slut. There is also the old saying, "The yamen opens their mouths, and it depends on giving or not giving." If you go to the yamen, you will lose money even if you are fine.
Uncle Liu Neng was also afraid. Although this woman was a little fierce, she was also a warm-hearted person. She could exercise on the bed occasionally. If she was really caught by the government, she would become a bachelor without women. Not to mention that no one would warm her feet and warm-hearted kang, she would probably not even make or wash dishes... In short, the crooked jujube is also a jujube, which is better than having no jujube.
So Liu Neng stuttered, "A Yang, you, you, you must not do this! No matter how she says it, it is your aunt! Even if we really offend you, our family will be fine in the house and talk about peace. There is no need to make trouble, and we will go to the yamen!"
Liu Wenyang smiled proudly: "Uncle San, it's not that I want to be petty now, but that my aunt did it too well! If my aunt gave up on the previous step, I would have nothing to say; if she still did this, I would be with her to the end!"
After Liu Wenyang said this, he looked at the fat woman and smiled and said, "How is it, aunt, do you want us to meet in the yamen tomorrow?"
"You, I don't understand what you said! My family is still cooking, and I won't live in vain with you!" The woman actually stuttered, and after saying that, she was about to leave, but saw her husband still standing there and not moving. The woman grabbed his ears, "You idiot who eats bran and drinks, don't leave, wait to eat the stick!"
Seeing that someone was about to leave, Liu Wenyang politely sang No.: "Aunt, walk slowly! It's cold and the ground is cold, be careful of the smooth road. Never bump into it. If there is a long and short time, how can I feel at ease with my nephew... By the way, leave that bowl of rice!"
"You guys are so strong!" The fat woman had to put down the two taels of brown rice. She was indignant, but also surprised. How could this nerd who could not beat a single stick to a single point today?
"It's better to pay back what you owe, otherwise you have to go to prison!" Liu Wenyang continued to harm the fat woman.
The fat woman was almost crazy, and when she went out, her head almost hit the door panel.
Liu Da looked at his son with a strange look. In his impression, although his son was smart, he was very dull and was not good at socializing. Except for studying hard, he was basically dull and speechless, not to mention that he was as erect as he was just now, and the fat woman fled in panic... Could it be that this time he had a serious illness and his whole body changed?!
