Reborn female match

Since An Tong contracted the wind and cold, no ice cubes were placed in the hall of An's house, and Uncle An was sweating profusely while sitting in the hall.Uncle Cai brought each of them a cattail fan, and the wind could be as strong as he wanted to shake, but he had to work harder.

"Brother, you want to divorce Xiaotong, why didn't you tell me in advance, I only found out what happened after the fact!" Uncle An complained.

"I told you that you were afraid that you would show your feet long ago."

Uncle An was dissatisfied: "How can I show my feet? But, why did the eldest brother suddenly want to divorce?"

An Lizheng sighed: "Although Sheng'an is good, he is not a good match for Tong'er. I can't bear for Tong'er to marry and suffer in the future."

Second Uncle An was also a little worried: "It's fine if it can be refunded successfully, but I heard that this summer tax, the state government office may have to take action."

"Oh?"

"The government office of the state government has recently been strictly investigating the transfer of grain outside. I'm afraid it's aimed at our Anjia. Also, the water transport ship merchants we cooperated with in the past have increased their prices. Although our Anjia has ships, it is not enough to supply the needs of Hebei. The grain arrives in one go.”

In fact, in addition to transporting some of the grain that needs to be transported to the warehouses in Gyeonggi, all localities will basically control the remaining grain within the scope of the prefecture. Dozens of times the increase, and lead to disaster fortunes of the rich.

However, the government can make Changping warehouses more abundant, but it cannot strictly control grain merchants to buy grain elsewhere.Because the An family has its own channels, the government has always ignored it.

Now there are faint signs of government intervention, saying that this matter has nothing to do with the Jiang family, and the An Lizheng and the two brothers don't believe it either.

"Is this going to give us a home?" An Li snorted. He used to be able to maintain a peaceful and friendly relationship with Captain Jiang, but now that his face has been torn apart, there is no need for him to give anything. good face.

……

Uncle An's family went back after lunch. An Tong asked An Lizheng about the operation of An's family, and then asked, "Did Uncle Tang play any role in it?"

An Lizheng said: "The family affairs are all in charge of the patriarch and I. Except for the sale of grain, which is in charge of your second uncle, other affairs have their own clan members."

An Tong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately An Mao was not responsible for any important duties, otherwise if the Jiang family started from him, the An family might be destroyed.

"However, another uncle of yours is in charge of Yizhuang's affairs." An Lizheng said again.

This "Yi Zhuang" is not a Yi Zhuang where corpses are parked, but a property purchased by the An family when their ancestors were officials. Its purpose is to relieve the poor and use the money from their production to support the imperial examinations of their descendants. educate.

The "another cousin" that An Li is talking about is An Mao's elder brother, An Kang, who has the reputation of being a juror, but he fails many times, so he simply buys a property in his hometown and takes care of the affairs of the Yizhuang.

An Mao sometimes takes advantage of this relationship to be responsible for the lease and loan of the Yizhuang. The family has not found his corruption and self-serving for the time being, so there has been no objection to him continuing to get involved in this matter.

An Tong asked: "Is Yizhuang only lending money to the tribe?"

Seeing that she was interested, Anli explained in detail: "If a family as big as the Anjia wants to survive, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on the rent and tax of these lands. So selling grain is part of the operation, raising cattle and sheep, hiring people to weave Yet another part of the operation.

And not every member of the An family lives so well, so they need the support of other members of the family, so there is Yizhuang.Of course, Yizhuang can only guarantee their food and clothing. As for living a good life, they still have to do it themselves.

They borrow money from Yizhuang, and they have to repay it the next month. If they don't pay back, Yizhuang will confiscate the relief food distributed to them.In order to ensure that the Yizhuang can continue to operate, the money used by the Yizhuang on the clansmen cannot be tampered with.As for Yizhuang's other income, one of them is lent to people outside the clan. "

"Can that guarantee that no one will lend the relief money that should have been distributed to the tribe to people other than the tribe?" An Tong asked curiously.

"Everything is kept in the account books, I'm afraid no one would dare to do such a thing." An Lizheng smiled.

"But Auntie said, it's very convenient to make false accounts, isn't it? The An family has a big business, and each industry has its own account books. Every time there is an additional item, there is another account book. How can we figure out that there is nothing in it? What about tricky?"

An Li was choking, and turned his head to Li Jinxiu. Li Jinxiu looked at him and said, "Look what I'm doing? I didn't post the account books of Yizhuang."

An Lizheng had no choice but to ask An Tong: "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"

An Tong half-truthfully said: "I think that my uncle's family only has a hundred acres of land and no other livelihood, but he is a concubine and a man-maker. Where did he get so much money to support him?" Expenses?"

An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu were stunned by the word "creating human beings", and it took a while to realize that they were speechless.

"To be honest, why did you suddenly focus on your cousin again this time? Could it be because of what he said this morning?" An Lizheng asked.

"Am I such a narrow-minded person? I am here to advise my parents and share the affairs of the clan!"

An Lizheng and Li Jinxiu couldn't laugh or cry. Although An Tong didn't go into details, they still kept an eye on it. After he was busy with the summer tax, it was really time to check the accounts.

An Tong was very sure that An Mao actually used part of the money from Yizhuang to lend to nearby villagers behind his back. At this time in his previous life, what he did was discovered, but he argued that he used his own money to lend.

Later, because the interest he charged was too high, people were killed. In the end, Jiang Xianwei helped settle the matter, and he was saved from prison.Originally, her father suggested that An Mao be expelled from the An's ancestral hall, but the patriarch came forward to whip him twenty times according to the clan rules, and the matter ended like this.

And the result is obvious, in the previous life, after her death, An Mao and Jiang Xianwei teamed up to take revenge on her parents, and also wanted to take away the An family's property by means of adoptive children.Although she failed in the end, her parents were still on the verge of collapse.

She really doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen again, so she wants An Mao and those clansmen with ulterior motives to be expelled from the An's ancestral hall, and she will not let the Jiang family have the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that their parents have no sons. hands and feet.

Half a month after the turmoil of retiring the engagement broke out, Jiang Xianwei not only did not have the previous embarrassment, but also cheekily offered to set the wedding date earlier.However, Anli is postponing the wedding date on the grounds that this year is his birth year and it is not suitable for a wedding.

Captain Jiang knew that this was a deliberate excuse, but he couldn't do anything about it.Then Captain Jiang made things difficult for An Lizheng regarding the summer tax. After all, An Lizheng was responsible for supervising the collection of taxes. pay.But Jiang Xianwei didn't give such an opportunity, An Lizheng had to make up the money first, otherwise it would be his fault.

At the same time, when handing over the rice seedlings to the Yicang, in the past, it was only necessary to hand in grains equivalent to the capacity of the Dendrobium, but the subordinates chose to ask for a large Dendrobium, that is, more than the capacity of the Dendrobium, in a disguised form. Increase taxes.

The Fuqiu villagers who hadn't been taxed for a long time were stunned. They had long forgotten that these things happened often under An Lizheng's fair work.Many people complained about Anli Zhengdao: "Lizheng, this year I have already collected more taxes, why do I have to pay so much more rice? This is an extra three liters per mu!"

Anli knew that Captain Jiang was taking revenge and persecuting him!For An Jia, this loss is nothing, but once it arouses the resentment of the villagers, this is the most troublesome.It's also because he is so kind and fair that these people forget about being bullied by the Yamen back then.

Finally, he said to the villagers of Fuqiu Village: "Next year I will tell the yamen that I have been serving as a servant for so many years. From next year, whoever should be the Lizheng will be the one!"

Originally, Lizheng was a kind of servant, which was filled by first-class households in rotation, but once they colluded with the yamen and township officials, they could also become the existence of oppressing and exploiting the people. It is not unheard of for individuals to be right.

If you meet a good Lizheng, then the villagers will have a good life, but if you meet a Lizheng in Yurou Township, then everyone's life will be bad.

After An Lizheng released his words, there were far fewer people who complained about him and his bad words. After all, An Lizheng was very fair in this matter.It is the people of the county government who collect their taxes by means of tax collectors.

In the past, Li Jinxiu would never have taken this good person to the end, but since she dreamed that An Tong was killed and went to pray for An Tong, the master in the temple advised her to be kind to others and do more good deeds. Heart.

So she sent a letter to her natal family, asking her natal family, who is a salt merchant, to help manage the transshipment department and let the transshipment envoy pay attention to the situation here.She did this for the sake of the people of Taojiang County, and also as a counterattack and warning to the Jiang family's repeated provocations.

She wasn't worried at all that she would turn against the Jiang family. After all, An Tong was the driving force for the couple to run the family business. If An Tong was unhappy, even if they had gold and silver, it would be meaningless.

While Fuqiu Village was buzzing about the summer tax, Taojiang County was also in chaos.

The cause of the incident still lies in the matter of Hua Dian's gambling house.Due to insufficient evidence, only a few of the private nesters who were arrested last time were finally convicted, and the rest were released.

However, after they were released, they lost their credibility, and many of them dared not play tricks with them, fearing that they would cheat them out of their money.

So the family members of these private nests became anxious, and they went to Hua Dian to seek justice.Hua Dian had already lost a lot of small gambling houses, and he had no way to vent his anger. When they came to the door, they hit the right spot, so the two sides started a fierce fight and scolded each other.

Later, Hua Dian felt that going on like this was not the same thing. After all, he still wanted to wait for the rumors to pass before returning to his old business, and he needed to cooperate with these private nests.So on the one hand, he let go of his posture, and on the other hand, because the government has not paid attention to him recently, he thought of a thorough investigation.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the government, he deliberately did not touch the cheater who sued him, but started elsewhere.After searching for more than a month, he really found a clue, which is the origin of the rumor.

Although there are quite a few people who know about the fact that he teamed up with his private friends to deceive hookers to gamble, but those who are about to publicize it don't have the courage to do so. It's suspicious.

It took him nearly another month to find out that someone had been inquiring about private nests and gambling houses before the rumors spread, but that person never asked the same person too many questions, so they didn't pay attention.If Hua Dian hadn't sent his subordinates and ordered the local ruffians roaming around the city to investigate, he might not have been able to find the person who did these things.

"A lady of sixteen or seventeen?" Hua Dian stared at the man in front of him, chewing on these words.

"Yes, the craftsman at the knife sharpening shop said that she seems to know Li Jiaojiao and asked about her." The man replied.

"Go and find Li Jiaojiao!" Hua Dian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind the screen behind him: "No, just ask her directly, who has done business with her, and find out whose daughters are at the age of sixteen or seventeen."

Hua Dian asked, "Why a daughter?"

The voice said: "Even if we are married, but the age of sixteen or seventeen is also the time when we are newlyweds and have a deep love with our wife. How can we find a private nest?"

Hua Dian seemed to understand, but the voice said again: "I seem to remember that something like this happened under your command."

Hua Dian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "It can't be done by my people."

"You think again?"

Hua Dian thought for a long time before saying, "You mean..."

"That young lady from back then knew the details?"

Hua Dian broke out in a cold sweat: "She hasn't moved for so many years, and Miss Sha is protecting her, and Miss Sha is you——I dare not touch her."
