The Prosperous Era of Longwan

Father Wei was still envious of Qiu Luan for his great achievements on the battlefield and his subsequent promotion and fortune. But when Wei Guangde heard what he said, he was not that good at it?

"Dad, didn't you say last time that the news I heard in Zhenjiang was that the imperial army was avoiding war? Why does this man named Qiu Luan dare to lead the Datong army to fight the Tatars?"

Wei Guangde asked as he thought of it. He remembered what his father said when he first came back.

"I didn't know that. It was written like this in the Di newspaper, and it was also what I heard from others."

At this moment, Father Wei also remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, which was a bit contradictory, but he was too lazy to think about it.

As for Wei Guangde, he searched the memories in his mind and confirmed that he had not seen the news about the beheading of the Minister of War named Ding. There was no information about the military general named Qiu Luan. Naturally, he could not find any information about it that would be seen by later generations. It’s no use asking about the history of this era.

Of course, if he had known that there would be such a time-travel adventure, and read more articles and reports from the Ming Dynasty, he would have known that in the 29th year of Jiajing, the leader of the Mongolian Tumote Tribe, Ada Khan, was accused of "distrusting the Ming Dynasty". The war was launched due to the failure of "Gongshi".

In this war, Qiu Luan, the general of Datong who was still regarded as a hero by Wei Guangde and his son, incredibly bribed Anda Khan to achieve the purpose of preserving Datong, and Anda Khan turned around after receiving the money. Invasion of the Gubeikou Great Wall and troops in Beijing.

This was a farce directed by a shameless person, and it also made Emperor Jiajing, who always relied on his wisdom and prowess, wake up from the illusion of national prosperity.

What followed was being pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by An Dahan. Emperor Jiajing's face was gone because he escaped unharmed after wreaking havoc in the suburbs of Beijing.

When the crisis was over, Ding Rukui, the Minister of War, who was a member of Yan Song's party, was abandoned as an abandoned son, and was eventually beheaded and abandoned by the furious Emperor Jiajing.

But when he got here, Wei Guangde suddenly remembered that the person who forced his family to sell their land this time was not a civil servant or a vassal king who was sealed in Jiangxi.

If the feudal king wanted to buy the land by force, then he would have to admit it, but if it was an official's family, there seemed to be a possibility.

At this moment, Wei Guangde thought that all the dignitary ministers of the Ministry of War would kill him as soon as he said so. If the buyer this time was also a civil servant, there might be unlucky times in the future.

Of course, as a small sixth-grade hundred households, they would definitely not be able to offend the civil officials. Even if they were the seventh-grade county magistrate, they would not be able to fight against them.

At that time, my descendants also said on the Internet that being an official, especially a high official, was actually a high-risk profession, unless one could really keep oneself clean.

As for the current Ming Dynasty, the impression is that Zhu Yuanzhang was stingy and paid very low salaries to officials, so corruption was common in the officialdom.

Although Wei Guangde has not yet passed the imperial examination, let alone become an official, and does not know how much the imperial salary is, it seems that he can imagine that in the future, if the buyer commits a crime, his head will be beheaded and his family property will be confiscated, then this The piece of "Hidden Field" seems to have operational value.

"Dad, the sale of that piece of land must be confirmed, and the other party doesn't want more people to know about it. When we negotiate the price and sign the contract, can we try to obscure the location of the land in the contract, as well as the details of the contract? It’s best for everyone not to sign.”

Wei Guangde said tentatively, after all, these were just his own thoughts, and he couldn't tell whether they were operable or not.

"Fuzzy location?"

When Father Wei heard that his son was suddenly involved in selling land from the battlefield in the capital, he thought about it and understood the meaning of his son's words.

The transaction involved this time was "hidden land". The natural land transaction contract will not be recorded in the yamen. It is just a handover between the two parties and the intermediary will be the guarantee.

Due to the hidden nature of the field, it is impossible for people to look for it outside casually. Instead, they will find someone who knows the power of the field to sign and sign it as an authenticator.

In ancient land transactions, a contract was usually written in written form, but there is no standard format now. There is also a diagram on the back of the land certificate, which details the four directions. Everything is written in words, so it is naturally a little more operable.

Although there is a high probability that the other party will find someone to do it, but if you can't guarantee that you will sign the contract as the middleman, you are actually trapping them.

Because it is Yin Tian, ​​it is natural that the buyer and seller will not be stated in the contract, but asking Mr. Wei to sign the middleman will be really troublesome.

What the buyer wants is for Mr. Wei to stop looking for trouble and shut up after taking the money.

"I roughly understand what you mean. It depends on what they mean when the time comes. I will definitely not sign it because my identity is inappropriate."

Father Wei looked at Wei Guangde and said something meaningful.

Looking at his father's expression, Wei Guangde knew that he should know what he meant. The eldest brother Wei Wencai's eyes lit up, indicating that he had guessed something. Naturally, he didn't bother to explain it anymore, but thought for a while before speaking. The words behind.

“I think that when they bought the land, they must cultivate it and it cannot be left uncultivated.

Dad can also try to talk to them at that time. The eldest brother will help them be the head of the farm and watch the farmers below cultivate the land. They can come and supervise at any time. As for the land rent that the owner should collect, of course it is theirs. "

"You want me to be the head of the village?"

Wei Wencai immediately said loudly, with obvious unwillingness in his tone.

"If possible, it would be best if we could take over management of this land."

Wei Guangde ignored his elder brother, but looked at his father and said.

"It's probably difficult, I can only mention it."

Father Wei stroked his beard and said, now he was more sure of Wei Guangde's idea.

If the buyer has a prosperous official career, then of course nothing will happen. If something unexpected happens, it's hard to predict.

"You can't just mention it, you have to say something."

Wei Guangde didn't see it that way, but felt that we should fight if we should.

Although the land is sold, in principle the buyer should decide what to do with it, but after all, this land is special, isn’t it?

Wei Guangde continued: "Dad, when we talk, you have to make it clear that we cannot support so many people on the land of our hundred households, but our people can work on their land.

They can grow whatever they want, as long as they can provide food for the people below, everything is done as usual.

As for whether it should be divided according to portions or quotas, it's easy to say.

As for our family, we need to help them look after this piece of land, and we also want the benefits of Zhuangtou.

Absolutely not, they bought the land and no one would keep an eye on it. "

"You can talk about it, try your best to try and at least make some income. Otherwise, if the land is sold, it will have nothing to do with our family in the future."

Mrs. Wei Wu now understood what her son meant. As an official of hundreds of households, she also became the head of the land.

As long as it can be done, we can get some benefits from that piece of land every year no matter what.

As for the buyers, they spent money to buy this piece of land, so when they collect the rent, it will be whatever it is. They will not lose a penny, so there is no need to worry about anything.
