Liu Laoshi was so scared that he thought a bandit was coming. He shouted at the top of his throat and ran out from house to house. The gongs and washbasins kept ringing, and the village suddenly called the children to cry, and the chaos was in chaos.

A brave man approached and saw that it was a group of young people from the Xu family. He scolded and notified the villagers that it was a misunderstanding, and a storm gradually disappeared.

These ten people were sent by Xu Hao. They were originally kind-hearted to help Liu Laoshi demolish the house, but they didn't expect that the first action ended in failure, and the reason for the failure came from Liu Laoshi's mouth.

Xu Hao did not blame his subordinates. He made a mistake in broad daylight. Now he wakes up and regrets his recklessness for a while. He is also glad that he has not succeeded. Otherwise, it would be too easy to find out who was instructing him and think about it and end up here.

Here, Liu Laoshi didn't realize that he had accidentally lost the best opportunity. When he returned home, he didn't dare to find someone to demolish the house, nor did he dare to go to the county magistrate, but he only knew that he was depressed when he sat at home.

Jiang Song and a group of disciples went to the county school to apologize. The scholar was promoted to Minglun Hall and read the county official's personal writing. He had always heard of Jiang Song's various bad deeds, and the four words "fair law enforcement" were clearly written. No matter how the disciples pleaded for mercy, he ordered his disciples to put on a bench, press Jiang Song up and beat him up, and drove him out.

Jiang Song was insulted in public and was angry. When he returned home, he lay on a bamboo chair, blocked Liu Laoshi's door and cursed. When he was tired, he ordered his disciples to take turns to go on the battle, and it continued until midnight before dispersing.

Liu Laoshi was both angry and hated, but he got sick and was bedridden like his mother. The next day, the crew came over and urged him to demolish the house soon. As soon as the person left, Jiang Song came to the door to curse. After two days, Liu Laoshi was lying on the kang and was so angry that he was unconscious.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Liu Laoshi is giving in. As the saying goes, the people will not procure officials. The county has busy affairs and has no time to ask about it. The officials are not willing to waste their legs and feet in the cold weather. This matter is gone.

Xu Hao secretly sighed that people are good and bullied. You just don’t care if you are not good at it. Jiang Song scolded him for a few days after getting the advantage and proudly prepared a drink.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the eldest wife Wang came to ask the old lady early in the morning to go to the city to visit her relatives. The old lady nodded in agreement. Not long after, the third wife Liu also came over and said she wanted to accompany her sister-in-law, which meant to take a walk in the lantern festival tonight.

Several granddaughters wanted to follow him, and Wang smiled and said, "Mother relaxed, with the Wang family's guards following him, nothing would happen."

Seeing that the old lady was still pondering, Liu quickly said, "Who dares to make ground on Tai Sui's head? The outside of the capital is pine and tight inside. If something happens, the emperor can spare the lower part?"

This is not without reason. In fact, things happen every year, and I rarely hear about being abducted by abducted son. Who dares to make the emperor unhappy at this juncture? All the lower-ranking people are staring at the patrol shops.

Finally, the old lady said, "I'm just afraid that I'll get away accidentally and that an accident will be bad. Well, tell my wives to be sure that everyone is watching and cheer me up. Remember to ask Hao'er to follow me."

At this time, Xu Hao was dealing with several officials in the front yard. The leader was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He wanted to check the Xu family's Tian Qi as soon as he came. Xu Hao was a little confused. Fortunately, he was not here to search the house, so he immediately ordered Wang Fu to take all the Tian Qi.

While Xu Hao was having tea, he said carefully: "I will not hide it from the elders of the family. I am thinking about young and innocent things. I will be more willing to give it more. I dare to ask the adults, why did this come from?"

The official said kindly: "I am abrupt. It seems that the young master is not aware of it yet. Then I will tell you that this time I came to check the land certificate. This time, the emperor issued an order to take back the land of the ministers given to me by the emperor. The Duke of Wei returned it in full force. This is a routine matter for me to come to the palace. The young master should not panic."

Xu Hao thought to himself that there was still this matter. No wonder the mansion had to cut off money and grain. All the land granted by the emperor was handed over to the public. He knew that the emperor rewarded the public land, and his family bought private land with money. The two had nothing to do with each other, so he immediately felt relieved.

"Then let me ask you, why is this?" In fact, Xu Hao already had the answer in his heart.

The official explained: "In recent years, many nobles have led their people to the land, and they have repeatedly happened according to the situation and disturbed the local area! The emperor loved the people like his son, so he issued an order to take back the land and repaid their salaries. The noble mansion is the first-class duke, with 5,000 shi a year."

Xu Hao smiled clearly on his face and looked admiring. He said in his heart that it might not be the case. The real reason was that Comrade Zhu was worried that the land would be merged by the nobles, so he simply took back the rewarded fields to delay the speed.

Zhu Yuanzhang suffered from the great landlords in his childhood and hated him for being rich and unkind. After ascending the throne, he looked at the historical books and found that every time the peasant uprising was caused by the loss of land and the displacement of the people.

This is the rhythm of preparing for the next thing. Xu Hao guessed in his heart that it seemed that the next step would be to attack many nobles, and then he would attack the landlords and wealthy people in the world. What would be the next step? Will there be some restrictions on the vassal kings in various places? It should be that there was no time, otherwise why did Zhu Yunwen rush to reduce the vassal as soon as he came to power?

Xu Hao felt a clear idea that his family’s current land was not much. If it had as many as dozens or hundreds of land, the kind-hearted adult in front of him might have to write a letter to the emperor as soon as he returned to Beijing.

The mansion was too cautious and dared not say a word, and the uncle was also unaware of such a big thing, and almost killed someone.

It’s really like a tiger. Xu Hao finally understood the cause and effect and held the tea with a relaxed look on his face.

Next, Wang Fu came back with Tian Qi. An official took out the official certificate and compared it with the two steps to verify it. Xu Hao sent them all the way outside the door.

The cold wind came, and Xu Hao felt like he had walked back and forth at the gate of hell, and his whole back was chilly. If someone from the Xu family bought a large amount of land privately and concealed it, he would immediately be punished for deceiving the emperor and the Xu family would be finished.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything, so Xu Hao was shocked and sweated. The father who was far away from home bought land afterwards, which was not considered a deception to the emperor. Moreover, he couldn't buy much money at all. Even if the government came to investigate again next year, he was not afraid. He was just a big household.

He just consulted the official of the Ministry of Revenue. There are about 20,000 rich households with acres of land in the Ming Dynasty. What is the Xu family in comparison? Of course, the existence of the Duke of Wei has to be ruled out.

How much is the silver worth of five thousand stones of grain? Xu Hao, who didn't know how expensive the firewood and rice was not clear. He went to Fushouju with this question and asked Wang Fu on the way. Wang Fu smiled and said, "I don't have much money, about two thousand taels of silver."

Xu Hao was stunned. The first-class duke's annual salary was only more than 2,000 taels of silver? How could it be spent? Of course, if we look at grain, five thousand stones were about 47,000 kilograms, which was an astonishing number. It was converted into the price of grain in later generations, with a kilogram of rice of six yuan, and the annual salary of Duke of Wei was 2.82 million yuan.

The problem is that it cannot be calculated like this. Cheap food does not mean that other aspects are cheaper. For example, Qiuxiang got 300 taels of silver a few days ago. Logically speaking, she became rich overnight. Of course, except for 100 taels of real silver, all other silver bills are silver bills, and the actual value is only half of the silver. Now, one acre of land ranges from twenty taels to thirty taels of silver. Is it too much to buy about ten acres of medium-sized land or a small courtyard near the capital?

Now it seems that human relationships are always the big part of each family's expenses. If you don't know how to manage your family and how to manage your family, you will be unable to understand this aspect and it will be easy for your family to become poor.

A shrewd housewife can easily save a lot of money for her family, and the difference is equal, so there is no need to say much.

Xu Hao is not an economist, so he can't think of it, so he simply doesn't think about it. This profound knowledge must be studied slowly in the future based on reality.

He told the old lady that the old lady sighed: "No wonder, I'm afraid that in order to safeguard the emperor's heart, all the land purchased over the years has to be sold at a low price, and he is naturally in short supply."

Xu Hao intended to make grandma happy and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you have the foresight, so Buran's whole family has to drink the northwest wind now."

The old lady laughed indeed and said, "Grandma, because of this concern, I have never allowed to buy a farmland. Otherwise, how many acres of land can I buy in the capital over the years? After today's incident, Lao Shi's concerns at that time were indeed good."

Xu Hao said sincerely: "Grandma, you are really old and your grandson is far inferior to you."

The old lady smiled and said, "Your idea of ​​adding sacred fields is good. This is the ancestor who passed on from generation to generation and will not copy it. I happened to ask you to follow them to Beijing. You go to the mansion first. When you see your second grandfather, tell him your idea."
