From a freeloader to a world leader
Chapter 3 The Sun Family Also Has Traditions
After everyone sat down and clan leader Sun Bohe finished speaking, Sun Shan roughly understood what the clan and his two uncles meant.
The focus of the clan leader and elders is the 50 acres of tax-free quota in Sun Shan's hands. They want to see if Sun Shan can, because they are from the same clan, set aside a part of it as public land in the clan.
The two uncles wanted to unite the three families that had been separated for ten years into one again.
In this way, they can obtain tax-free land quota and be exempted from corvee labor.
Sun Shan pondered for a moment and sighed, this world is really different. As soon as he passed the exam and became a scholar, those who originally did not think highly of him and those who often made sarcastic remarks about him immediately changed their attitude and spoke to him in a flattering manner.
In fact, no matter which world or era, it is the same.
As long as a person is successful, he will be surrounded by good people and good things.
Based on my original personality, I definitely don't want to bother with these people.
There was even a sense of contempt in the subconscious of the original sixteen-year-old body, which regarded people of the same race as inferior.
It seems that in this world that has been backward for more than a thousand years, everything is based on reading.
Everything is low-grade, but reading is high-grade!
But if you want to develop in this world, you are doomed to be inseparable from these relatives who once stepped on or praised you.
It takes three to be a good man. In this world based on blood ties and family, relatives with the same surname are much more reliable than strangers.
Besides, I am a special forces soldier from the later century who has killed people and seen blood. If someone really makes trouble, I will disobey him.
At worst, just kill him!
And it's done without anyone noticing -----
Thinking of this, Sun Shan stood up and bowed to the clan leader Sun Bohe, his eldest uncle Sun Changping, and his second uncle Sun Daping who were sitting in the upper seat.
"Third uncle, eldest uncle and second uncle, I know what you mean. Let me tell you my opinion. If it works, we will do it this way in the future. If not, we will discuss it further."
"Shan'er, you are the one who makes the decision here. In the future, our Sun family will have to rely on you for development. I just hope that you can promote more of your own family members for the sake of our compatriots and relatives."
Sun Bohe stood up somewhat uneasily, and responded with a few words with a smile on his face.
As someone who had been on the battlefield and had several years of fighting experience, he felt a murderous aura in Sun Shan's fleeting look just now.
He was a little confused. Before he passed the imperial examination, Sun Shan was a man who could do little more than study.
How come after waking up this time, he is so eloquent and speaks so coherently.
Moreover, every move he made was very calm and steady.
Could it be that he became so confident and calm because he passed the imperial examination?
The eldest uncle Changping, who was already fifty-three years old and had been a grandfather for more than a decade, and the second uncle Daping, who was also in his forties, stood up immediately after seeing their nephew becoming unattainable after passing the imperial examination.
He said in a flattering way: "Shan Ge'er, you say, from now on in our family, you have the final say."
"Haha, that won't work. There is a hierarchy of elders at home and outside. No matter where I, Sun Shan, become in the future, you two are my uncles, and I have to listen to your opinions."
However, although Sun Shan said so.
But in my heart I recalled what my sister had secretly told me on the way back when she called me.
Before he was about to wake up from his coma, his great uncle's third son, Sun Bing, came to his house with his fierce cousin to cause trouble.
The general meaning is that if he died, there would be no male heir in his family, and his mother should transfer the more than ten acres of land in her hands to the names of the eldest and second sons of the family.
The third child of my uncle's family, Sun Bing, who called himself the Sixth Brother, was also a powerful figure. He was less than ten years older than me, but with his ruthlessness, he was well-known in the area of dozens of miles around Baisha Village.
Unfortunately, no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the shackles of fate and could only live a dawdling life in Baisha Village and Quanshan Town, which were within a few dozen miles around.
Before he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he often said strange things.
The implication is that Grandma Sun Luo should not invest all the family's limited resources on herself alone.
However, I have been studying since I was young, mainly because my hardworking father is good at carpentry and my mother is also good at embroidery, so they worked hard to support me in my studies for almost ten years.
Moreover, in order to support my studies, my parents separated from my eldest and second uncles early on.
Now, they actually want to become a family again.
In this way, they can both enjoy the 50 acres of tax-free quota and the share of exemption from corvée labor under their names.
As for the more than ten acres of land he still had, and the tax exemption quota.
Sun Shan actually didn't care at all.
As a time traveler from more than a thousand years later, if I still cling to those few acres of land to make a living, wouldn't that make all the other time travelers laugh their heads off?
He planned to work as an accountant at Zhang's restaurant in Hengzhou as a temporary employee after he recovered. While recuperating, he would look for opportunities to make a fortune.
but------
"Third Grandfather, you all know my family's situation very well. The 50 acres of tax-free land-----"
As he spoke, Sun Shan's eyes swept across the nervous and red faces of his two uncles and several cousins' wives.
"Shan'er, go ahead and talk. Uncle is listening."
Seeing that Sun Shan stopped talking halfway through his words, Sun Changping could not help but stand up nervously.
"Haha, uncle, don't be anxious, we are all family." Sun Shan replied casually with the corner of his mouth curled, and his eyes met with Sun Bing who was looking straight at him.
Then, motionless, he stared.
This made Sun Bing, who was always arrogant in the countryside and thought no one dared to talk to him or look him in the eye, so angry that he wanted to stand up and slam the table.
What's the meaning of blaming Laojiu, who used to be like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw me?
However, now that my father, uncle, and clan leader are all here, this is really not the time to get angry.
He could only grit his teeth, glare at Sun Shan fiercely, and then look away.
This made him feel extremely angry-----
I decided that when there were fewer people around, I would give my cousin, the scholar who got the last place in the exam, a lesson.
When Sun Shan saw Sun Bing looking away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The original self has always been soft and weak. Even after passing the examination to become a student, he was still like a invisible person in the family.
If you don't speak all day, you naturally have no right to speak.
"Of the 50 acres of tax-free land, I want to give acres to the clan as public land for the cultivation of the clan's children in the future-----"
As soon as Sun Shan finished speaking, Sun Bohe stood up with a bang.
His voice was as loud as a rooster crowing in the morning. At the same time, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Sun Shan: "Good! Very good! Shan is indeed a scholar. He is the only scholar in our Sun family in the past few decades. With your twenty acres of tax-free land, our Sun family's children will definitely have more hope in the future."
Sun Shan quickly turned sideways and helped Zhang Bohe up with both hands: "Third Grandpa, please don't do this, I can't stand it-----"
After helping him up, he pretended to sigh with emotion: "For various reasons, our Huayang family has not achieved fame for decades. We are really ashamed of our ancestors. Today, I, Sun Shan, swear that I must continue to work hard and strive to get better results. Even if I can't be as glorious as my great-grandfather, at least I will benefit the people in the future!"
After hearing these words, more than ten elders and clan elders were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
All of them choked with sobs and shouted, "Ancestors may bless you."
The Sun family is also a family with a glorious history. Sun Quan, the founding ancestor of the family who was eighteen generations older than Sun Shan, also passed the imperial examination and ranked third on the list - Tanhualang!
During our ancestor Sun Quan’s nearly forty-year official career, he rose from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Sun family expanded and became a family that was not powerful but not weak either in the last two hundred years of the Sui Empire.
However, the Sunshan branch is already a side branch within a side branch, and has been separated from the Mianyang main branch for more than a hundred years.
In addition, since their separation, this branch of theirs has not had a good literary style. Not to mention passing the Jinshi exam, they have never even passed the Juren exam.
The fact that Sun Shan passed the imperial examination and became a scholar was already the best result achieved by the Huayang Sun family in the past forty or fifty years.
