From a freeloader to a world leader

"Third Grandfather, Uncle and all the elders-----"

Sun Shan bowed respectfully and said with a pretentious look, "In the future, if I achieve something, I will give the tax-free land to the clan according to this ratio to provide for the children of the clan to go to school and restore the glory of our ancestors. Third grandfather, what do you think?"

"Okay! Since you have this idea, what else can we talk about? Thank you, Brother Shan!"

Sun Bohe roared fiercely and slapped the wooden table next to Sun Shan's thin body, causing the teacups on the table to rattle.

He originally planned that it would be good enough if he could get 10 acres of tax-free land from Sun Shan.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shan was so concerned that he voluntarily gave 20 acres and promised that after he passed the imperial examination in the future, he would still allocate a share of tax-free land according to the same proportion.

Well, if we calculate based on the current minimum of 150 mu of tax-free land for a juren, this would be roughly around to mu.

In this way, together with the more than 100 acres of public land in hand now, wouldn’t it be acres in total?

Thinking of this, Sun Bohe wished that Sun Shan would take the imperial examination next year so that he could make the 100 acres of tax-free land a whole number.

In the noisy main room, Sun Changping and Sun Daping looked at each other, as if blood was about to flow from each other's eyes.

This Sun Shan is his nephew. His father is no longer around, so the person rounded off must be his son.

Then, wouldn't the share of this fifty acres of tax-free land be yours if rounded off?

And now this silly boy, unexpectedly, handed over to the clan without even saying a word to me.

What a fucking stupid, painful thing!

However, Sun Shan had already said it in front of the elders of the clan, so it would be just a dream if he wanted to take it back.

After a while, when the elders in the clan calmed down a little, Sun Bing gently poked his father from behind.

Sun Changping flattened his head slightly and glanced at his son, whose eyes were also filled with anger.

Nodded slightly.

"Ahem! Ahem—"

Sun Changping coughed twice, raised his old face that was as blooming as a chrysanthemum, and said to Sun Shan: "Shan'er, you are really righteous. If all the children in the clan were like you, our Sun family would be very prosperous!"

"Of course, of course, uncle. I have been studying hard these years. Now that I have achieved some success, I should give back to the clan."

Sun Shan waved his hand modestly and said sincerely, "Only when our clan prospers will the children in our clan have more and better conditions to achieve fame and success in the future."

As he spoke, he pretended to recall the past and said with emotion: "It was because I suffered a lot when I was studying when I was young that I gave these shares to the clan. Uncle, do you have any objections?"

"No problem, no problem. We don't have any problem at all!"

After hearing Sun Shan's high-sounding words, Sun Changping and Daping dared not say a word.

He stretched out his hands again and again and shook them left and right vigorously to show his approval.

After a while, Sun Changping pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Shan'er, what about your remaining thirty acres? Do you plan to buy more or give it to your grandmother?"

He asked this on purpose, for of course he knew the situation of Sun Shan and his mother very well.

This time Sun Shan was ill for three days and spent several hundred coins to buy medicine from him.

Given the current situation of Sun Shan and his mother, it is good enough that they can still have food to eat.

"hehe-----"

Sun Shan chuckled and looked into the eyes of his mother who was standing not far from the main room door.

I saw my mother, whose hair was almost gray, looking at me anxiously.

Looking at the mother in this world and the world before the time travel, although they look similar and are about the same age, she looks much older.

Sun Shan felt a pain in his heart.

After thinking for a while, he walked up to his mother, held her hand, and said softly, "Mom, listen to my arrangements. I will definitely get better and better in the future. From now on, we won't plant the fields anymore, okay?"

This made Sun Chen anxious and she almost jumped up: "Shan'er, what are you talking about? If we don't farm, how will we eat? How can you continue to study?"

"Mother, my son has achieved fame now and has more ways to make money. You are already so old, how can I bear to see you taking your sister to the fields to find food?"

As he spoke, Sun Shan excitedly hugged his mother, who was so thin that she was just a bag of bones. "Don't worry, Mom. I have grown up. I was ignorant before, but I will make a lot of money in the future and take good care of you!"

Hearing my son say this and hugging me so intimately.

Sun Chen was confused for a moment.

She subconsciously hugged her son, who was half a head taller than her, and burst into tears.

This made the Sun family members who were waiting for Sun Shan to express his opinion in the main hall of the Sun family anxious.

I was even more confused!

In this world, the way people express themselves to each other is very conserving.

Not to mention relatives and friends, even between couples, it is very rare to express their feelings in public.

Not to mention the hugs and kisses thousands of years later, even the holding hands between a man and a woman is extremely shocking.

Men and women pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds, and follow the arrangements of their parents and matchmakers.

Women should observe the three obediences and four virtues and cannot have any public intimate behavior with people of the opposite surname.

If a man sees your body, or kisses or hugs you, there are only two possible outcomes: either you get married, or one of you dies.

Sun Bing stared blankly at his third aunt and cousin who were almost hugging each other and crying.

It's becoming increasingly confusing.

A few days ago, this cousin of mine was a stupid scholar who only knew how to study and was a little too taciturn.

Now, not only is he eloquent, but even his movements and behaviors are different from those of other people.

Could it be that he-----

Sun Chen cried for a while and finally came to her senses a little.

He found himself leaning on his son's not-so-strong chest, and his old face suddenly turned red.

She pushed Sun Shan away and scolded him, "It's all your fault. You made me cry. If you do this again, I'll beat you up!"

"hehe-----"

Sun Shan laughed indifferently. Seeing his mother's obviously relaxed and excited expression, he felt much more relaxed as well.

He didn't care at all how other people looked at him.

Thousands of years later, I have seen all kinds of scenes. I have killed people, watched fire, gone to the sky, and gone to the earth. As a special forces soldier who often carries out special tasks, I have seen the most beautiful and the ugliest truths in the world.

"Mom, as long as you are happy, I am happy. I was ignorant and didn't know how to be filial before. This time, I almost died. I sat by the river and thought for a long time today. I finally understood what is the most worthy thing for me to have and cherish in this world."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently rubbed the head of his sister Sun Yuxiang, who was crying again.

Then, he said to the dozen or so elders of the Sun family who were staring at him blankly, "I'm sorry to have made fun of you all. I was young and ignorant before, and I have done many things that I have let you down. Please don't be offended."

As he spoke, Sun Shan bent down and saluted very sincerely.

"It's okay, it's okay----"

"It's okay, it's okay, Shan Ge'er, you used to be very sensible-----"

After chatting with everyone for a while, Sun Shan once again brought the topic back to the issues that his uncles were concerned about.

"Uncle, I understand your thoughts. Regarding the remaining thirty acres of tax-free land and the exemption from corvée labor, this is what I think--"

As he spoke, Sun Shan deliberately paused and glanced at the faces of his relatives.

Although, I don't care about these.

But we can't let them feel that this is what they deserve.

I need to let them understand that the things and resources are mine and I can give them to you, but you must be content and know how to behave.

People often repay a little kindness with ten buckets of hatred.

"Shan'er, you said that your uncle and I both heard about it-----"

When Sun Changping and Sun Daping met their nephew, they finally talked about the issue that concerned them most, and they both stood up at the same time.

Even the dozen or so people from the two families standing behind them were staring at Sun Shan's handsome, fair face, as if they were about to see flowers.
