Reborn female match

Before New Year's Eve and Zhengdan, there were a few light snowfalls in Taojiang County. Compared with the heavy snow in the north, the snow here was much gentler.

On New Year's Eve, whether it is Fuqiu Village or Taojiang County, there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.After the children finished the New Year's Eve dinner and received the New Year's money from the elders, they sat by the fire to watch the New Year's Eve, while the adults took a rest early after setting off firecrackers.

The mischievous children on the first day of the new year are still asleep because of the vigil last night. Without the children's frolicking, the adults can still entertain the guests who come to celebrate the New Year.

The Anjia is still very lively, and the tenant farmers came to celebrate the New Year one after another. By the way, they are talking with Anli about the next tenancy issue.The general tenants have signed tenancy contracts for five or ten years, and some have only signed one year. Seeing that Anjia is kind, they want to continue to sign.

There are two types of renting methods for Anjia: sharing and fixed quotas. Sharing is generally adopted by tenants who lack labor, farm equipment, and farming tools. Because if the harvest is not good, the tax collected by Anjia will be less. get involved.

There are more tenants who use the quota method, and the Anjia will not control their working methods, and will not let them come to the Anjia to help with work.These tenants with wives and children can let their wives and children find other jobs to supplement their families.

The property of Anjia has also increased over the years, but the number of tenants has not increased much, and there have always been only more than 20 households.This has led to the phenomenon that some tenants rent part of the land to others again, and they themselves become "second landlords".

So An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu decided to adjust the number of acres of land leased by the tenants, and then accepted nearly 30 customers who wanted to rent the land to settle down.As a result, there are nearly [-] tenants and employees who settle down in the family, but compared with the large families with hundreds of tenants in many places, it is still much less.

Some tenants were dissatisfied with this move, although they had the right to withdraw the rent due to dissatisfaction with the host's rent.But their main purpose is not to withdraw the rent, but to settle down and do so, which makes them lose the benefits of being "second landlords".

The news reached the county government.It can be said that there is no problem for the An family to do so. After all, the written contract can only help the tenants restrain the head tenants from oppressing them.

The An family neither took the opportunity to raise the tax, nor forced them to serve as slaves. They just reconsidered whether the tenants could handle so many fields and made a decision to protect their own interests.

However, Captain Jiang still mentioned this matter to An Lizheng when he came to An's house as a guest. After all, a sudden increase in registered tenants would affect the official's performance.

Anli said to Jiang County Wei: "Brother Daofang, don't worry, these people are all from Quzhou. They settled here. Some of them are just hired by me to take care of the fields. They are still the main households. Although Taojiang County has more customers , but the number of households and households is also increasing. Coupled with the increase in taxes, the imperial court will not just focus on one place."

Seeing that An Lizheng couldn't be persuaded by Jiangxian Wei, he had no choice but to give up.

When the female relatives got together, Jiang Gao also mentioned this matter in front of Li Jinxiu.Li Jinxiu was not as polite as An Lizheng, she pretended not to know so many ways, and said: "The officials did this because of something happened in the clan."

Jiang Gao tentatively said: "Oh? What happened, is it serious? Why didn't you report it to the authorities? Maybe we can help."

Li Jinxiu said: "It's just a matter within the clan, so it's not easy to bother the Jiang family. The official is the patriarch of the An family, so he handled the matter himself, but it was precisely because of this that he decided to rent out more land."

Jiang Gao said with a smile: "Sister, you don't see me as a sister now, do you? What happened?"

Only then did Li Jinxiu pretend to be embarrassed and said: "Actually, it's not that important. It's just that after someone in the clan rented out the land in their family, the tenant rented it out to someone else and charged [-]% of the rent. The tenant didn't have to pay anything. We collected so much rent and tax because we did it. But Tian is our family, and we are the ones who are complained when something happens. You also know that our family has always valued reputation, how can we allow such things to happen?"

Jiang Gao said: "Oh, what's the matter? No matter how the people below fiddle with the fields, the An family got what they deserved, right?"

Li Jinxiu shook his head: "How could it be so simple? The officials discovered that the tenant who rented An's field was actually instructed by others. That person has benefited, but the infamy is all due to An's family!"

Jiang Gao was surprised: "There is such a thing? Can you find out who is behind the scenes?"

"That person is too cunning, and he is looking for an agent with a strict mouth. If he finds out, the officials will not decide to divide the land for the settlement to be smaller and recruit more tenants."

Jiang Gao's face relaxed, and he comforted: "Then you still have to be careful."

Jiang Sheng'an and An Tong came over, and they stopped this topic.Seeing that An Tong was still dressed as plainly as before on such a festive day, Jiang Gao said, "Ma'am is already seventeen, it's more appropriate to dress in thanks."

"In this rural area, it might not be appropriate to wear heavy makeup," An Tong said.

Jiang Gao's expression disapproved, seeing that An Tong was about to discuss marriage with her son, if she still dressed so plainly, wouldn't she be laughed at when she went out?The Jiang family will also lose face.

Jiang Sheng'an saw Jiang Gao's dissatisfaction, but in An's territory, he couldn't say anything wrong with An Tong, so he said to An Tong: "Xiao Tong, don't worry that no one will appreciate you after dressing up. , if you add more powder, I am afraid that you can be called the number one beauty in Taojiang... Next time I will bring you some rouge powder."

An Tong looked at Jiang Sheng'an in surprise, knowing that it was as difficult as ever to get some compliments from him in the past.But now he has learned how to be glib and coax women?

"Looks like I talked too much with Xu Xiangru!" She touched her finger on her belly, thinking to herself.

Jiang Gao made fun of Jiang Sheng'an for being enlightened, which made Jiang Sheng'an and An Tong very embarrassed, but one of them had a calm face, while the other pretended to be shy, so that the elders didn't notice the difference.

When Jiang's family left, An Tong seemed to have removed a layer of camouflage, and sat lazily on the chair, with one leg resting on the armrest.

Seeing her like this, An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu immediately slapped her leg.Li Jinxiu scolded: "You are really getting more and more unruly, what kind of sitting posture is this?"

An Tong felt wronged and massaged the leg slapped by Li Jinxiu, and said, "Aniang, if there were outsiders around, I would definitely not do this, I know how to behave!"

An Lizheng also said: "Yes, there are no outsiders, these are the An family's own family members, and they will not talk nonsense to the outside world. Besides, you can just talk about it, why beat her!"

Li Jinxiu even wanted to teach An Lizheng a lesson, but An Lizheng avoided it on the grounds that it was not appropriate to do anything during the New Year.The family of three chattered for a while before Li Jinxiu and An Lizheng talked about serious matters.

In the past, the couple must have gone back to the study to hide and talk about it, but considering that An Tong should also learn to take care of An's house, they didn't avoid her anymore.

When An Tong listened to their conversation, she was still confused at first, but she also dealt with tenants often, so she soon figured it out:

It turned out that the person who instructed the tenants of the An clan to rent out the land at [-]% of the tax was actually a member of the Jiang family!

An Tong's heart suddenly became tense, it turned out that An's family and Jiang's family still have such a big deal!This was intentional by the Jiang family, so what is the purpose?And what if the An family ruined the Jiang family's plan?

An Li said helplessly to An Tong: "This is something that was discovered only recently, it should be said that it has been a few years."

"Then why..."

Li Jinxiu said: "We pretended not to know after we knew it. Firstly, we didn't have any evidence to tear ourselves apart from the Jiang family. Secondly, we also wanted to test the Jiang family."

"Have the An family and the Jiang family reached this point?" An Tong was stunned and regretful. After all, more than ten years ago, the two families were still good friends.

An Lizheng said: "No matter how good a relationship is, it can't resist the temptation of benefits. The Jiang family has gradually declined, but there are a lot of expenses on weekdays, and the An family can give a lot of benefits, but they can't ask for it clearly, so they just take advantage of it." It is convenient for the position to earn the rent tax of the second lease."

Li Jinxiu continued: "I live in Taojiang County. The fertile land alone accounts for nearly [-]% of all the fertile land, let alone some forests and low-grade fields. With so many fields, it is difficult to take care of them after they are rented out. It is easy for them to take advantage of the loophole."

"How much profit did the Jiang family get from it?"

"They don't dare to make it too obvious, so it's only about [-] yuan a year."

An Tong gasped, the An family's annual tax was only [-] guan, and the entire An family was only about [-] guan.What the Jiang family did was still "not obvious", so if it was "obvious", wouldn't it be more excessive?

"It's not just An's family, but other families also have this situation. It's just that everyone doesn't want to cause trouble, so they turn a blind eye."

If the Jiang family continues like this, only more tenants will live in dire straits. In recent years, the weather has been good. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, the tenants will become disaster victims.The Jiang family can be picked out of it, but it is these big families who rent out the land that bear the wrath of the victims.

An Lizheng could no longer turn a blind eye to the tenant disturbances that occurred in Anlizheng's uncle's lineage, so after he finished dealing with the affairs there, he also made adjustments to his own field.

Even if the Jiang family knew about it, they couldn't confront An Li face to face. Anyway, they believed that as long as the marriage contract between An Tong and Jiang Sheng'an existed, the Jiang family would benefit a lot in the future.

"What do father and mother want to test the Jiang family?" An Tong asked.

An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu looked at each other, and said: "The An family and the Jiang family are family friends, but the An family and the An family are family members. We can have friendship with the Jiang family, but that is a thing of the past. People's hearts will change. People in the Jiang family It will also change. In order to settle down, we have to make some choices. Between the trust of friends and the interests of the family, we can only choose the family."

If you think about it carefully, Anli is suspected of distrusting his friends when he is doing this, and if others know about it, they will also say that he is dishonest.But he is not a pedantic person, and he will not watch more people being oppressed for the so-called "righteousness".

He tolerated the Jiang family's behavior for so many years, which was considered benevolent and righteous, but Jiang Daofang did not have the skills of Jiang Lao, but became more and more greedy.

Knowing the truth, An Tong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Seeing her like this, An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu regretted telling her too much, fearing that she would not be able to accept such an impact for the time being.

But they obviously worried too much.

Today's An Tong is no longer the An Tong of her previous life. Compared with her previous life, she wanted to live a worry-free life. After being killed, and letting her parents bear the pain caused by her death and various slanderous reputations, she cared more about it. How to protect yourself and your family.

She can also be selfish.

For these purposes, she can think the worst about people, so when An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu told her about the Jiang family, she didn't feel much impact.

She raised a smile and said: "Father, Auntie, I will forget about this matter after this door, and I will not leak a word. As for how to get along with the Jiang family in the future, as long as the two families have not broken up Shameless, or we are not sure that we can stay out of it, then it will be the same as before!"

An Lizheng was a little astonished: Is this still his innocent daughter who was bullied by Xu Xiangru so much that she ran home crying?

Li Jinxiu said: "Well, it should be so. Tong'er, parents didn't want you to bear so much urinating, but if you are still the same as before, you may suffer a big loss in the future. For this reason, parents have to be cruel Tell you these things, so that you will be mentally prepared in the future."

"If my parents don't tell me, I will be distressed!"

"What's bothering you?" Anli asked.

"I'm worried about how to tell my parents that I don't want to marry into the Jiang family!"
