Chapter 84: Marriage
Daliushu Village, the old house of the Liu family.
"Dad, why do you have to fawn over that poor boy? He offended the Huang family, and it's hard to tell whether he will do it again in the future. We, the heirs of poetry and books, have no need to stick to that nouveau riche's cold butt."
Liu Chuanzhi's face was ferocious and his tone was full of resentment.
It was obvious that he still couldn't let go of Fang Yue.
He failed to pass the civil examination, but the other party passed the military examination.
Hate others, laugh at others, dislike others when they are poor, and fear others when they are rich.
Liu Chuanzhi is this kind of person. He used to be a follower, book boy, and servant in the village, but he actually passed the examination of the martial arts examination.
The status is higher than him and higher than his father.
How could he bear this?
"And that Fang Lan is five years older than me. I won't marry him. I don't want him."
Liu Chuanzhi's words were full of disgust.
His father was also crazy and wanted him to marry that poor girl from the Fang family.
He doesn't like country girls with rough hands and feet.
"Hmph, you evil deed. Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you?"
"You already said that Fang Yue offended the Huang family. If the Huang family took action against him and got rid of Fang Yue, wouldn't you just take the opportunity to seize their property?"
Liu Juren stroked his beard and looked at his son, as if he hated iron.
It doesn't matter whether the Huang family can deal with Fang Yue or not.
Getting married to the Fang family is a good thing. Either the two families join forces, or they take the opportunity to seize each other's property.
"Dad, I understand."
After hearing what his father said, Liu Chuanzhi's face looked much better.
However, there is not that much opposition.
Wuju people have 3,000 acres of tax-free farmland alone.
If his family could get it, wouldn't their wealth be doubled several times?
Thinking about it this way, it seems pretty good.
"Hmph, just don't cause any trouble for me."
Seeing that he finally convinced his son, Liu Juren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If he wasn't suitable, it wouldn't be his turn to marry his son.
~~~~~~
at the same time,
Among other people’s homes in Daliushu Village.
"I heard that Mr. Fang from the Fang Mu family is back."
"Young Mr. Fang, I will call you Mr. Fang from now on. Now Fang Yue is the grandfather of Juren. It is said that he is more noble than Liu Juren. He has three thousand acres of tax-free land alone."
"Three thousand acres! God, can we contribute this time? No, boss, I remember we still have two chickens. Let's bring them up and ask Mr. Fang for help."
The same scene was played out in the homes of the farmers throughout Daliushu Village.
In the past two years, harsh taxes have increased.
Their life was difficult, and they had to stop and go from time to time, and it was difficult for them to collect enough land from the court.
But for those families who contributed, the fields will no longer belong to them.
But they no longer have to pay taxes to the court. They only need to pay rent to the Fang family every year.
This is less than half of what was handed over to the court.
And it’s still half of what it was before the tax increase.
I can almost save more than twenty taels of silver every year.
Those families now eat three meals a day, and the kids in the family are all very nervous.
Even getting married and marrying off a daughter has become a hot commodity.
How not to be the envy of other people in the village.
When there was no tax increase, the farmers still looked down on the tenant farmers.
They said that they had lost all their ancestral property and would never have a chance to turn around in the future.
Until now, they can't even eat enough, who wouldn't envy them.
Who doesn’t want to donate their land?
Now that there is an opportunity, naturally everyone wants to seize this opportunity.
When they heard that Fang Yue was back, all the families went to Fang Yue's house one after another, bringing whatever gifts they could get.
~~~~~~
Land donation.
Fang Yue naturally knew that this kind of thing would happen.
His mother told him these things on the day he returned home. At the same time, her mother also said that her natal family in the neighboring village also wanted to donate their land.
Of course they don't charge rent.
Originally, when Fang Yue was a Wu scholar, he had only a few acres of tax-free land, and he could only receive land in his own village.
When you reach Juren, you can accept land donations within the county.
Officials in the yamen will not deliberately act according to the rules. They will just turn a blind eye and things will be done.
Scholars do not leave the village, and officials do not leave the county. This is the case.
Regarding the donation of land, Fang Yue only told his mother not to use power to pressure others and force them to donate.
He doesn't care about these things, it's up to his parents to make the decision.
now,
Fang Yue naturally lived in Fang Hu's yard.
Although I feel comfortable in my own home, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to donate land these days, and there will definitely be a lot of things going on by then.
Why don't you come to Fang Hu's place to clean up for a few days.
Anyway, he is here alone and no one dares to disturb him.
"The last time we fought with Wang Yuangang, his sudden burst of power was the power of Qi and blood in the marrow-changing stage?"
Fang Yue recalled the process of fighting Wang Yuangang, although there were not many tricks in the fight.
But he remembered Wang Yuangang's boxing techniques and force characteristics particularly well.
At this moment, after calming down, the review began.
Summarize the gains and losses.
At the same time, in his mind, he also began to recall the description of Yi Mui in the White Tiger Fist technique.
Exercise the bone marrow and replace Qi and blood.
It can condense Qi and blood into energy, which can burst out at critical moments.
Perform many more attacks than normal.
"No wonder Yi Marrow warriors are much more tyrannical than those at Duo Guguan. Their energy and blood are so strong that for warriors, it's like they've taken stimulants, able to burst out with even stronger power under ordinary conditions."
"So, on that day, if Wang Yuangang hadn't been injured before, Wang Yuangang might not have had a chance to make a comeback in the end."
Of course, Fang Yue can still escape if he can't fight.
Besides, Wang Teng is still in his hands, which means he has double insurance.
"Hey, forget it, it's better to live in peace. I will stay in the village for a few more years this time. After my cultivation is improved, I can go out again."
Fang Yue decided to stay in the village.
After all, if nothing else, the government recently decided to deal with the people of the Moshan tribe.
I don't know how big the risk will be. After all, more than a plurality of martial arts people are needed to explore the way.
It is enough to show that the Moshan tribe is very dangerous.
Therefore, it is better to stay in the village.
As for Fang Yue, when he came to this world, if he was asked to stay in the country for the rest of his life and become a rich man, this was his dream when he first crossed over.
But now, if he was asked to stay in Daliu Shu Village for the rest of his life, he would not be willing even if he enjoyed spicy food every meal.
He wants to continue to climb the realm of martial arts cultivation, the four levels of martial arts, and even the realm of sensing energy above.
He yearns for even a higher martial arts realm.
The White Tiger Boxing Gym can only take him as far as Yi Shui.
Although his qualifications will increase in the future, coupled with the secret book of Qi Sensing Realm in his hand, he will have the confidence to advance to Qi Sensing.
But what about after that.
Restricted by Xiahe County, he may only be a martial artist in the state of Qi for the rest of his life.
If you want to go further, you have to go to a wider world.
Of course, these are still far away from him.
Now I still focus on practicing martial arts.
Fang Yuexuan even cut off all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
So he started practicing boxing in the farmyard.
~~~~~~
Since Fang Yue returned,
Leaving all land matters to his parents, the amount of land under Fang Yue's name increased dramatically.
In just a few days, it grew from the original three hundred acres to two thousand acres.
There are people donating land in Daliushu Village and even in several surrounding villages.
Of course, Chen's land requisition did not refuse all comers.
Instead, we need to inquire about the other party's character. We don't want those who are sneaky and sneaky, but only want the land of those who are honest and responsible.
So and so, just a few days.
The Fang family became the largest landowner in this area.
After these things were done, the Fang clan held a clan meeting to worship their ancestors.
Fang Yue's deeds were engraved on a monument and set up in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
After the grand ceremony, there was naturally another flowing water feast.
This time, many people from the surrounding villages came to congratulate me, not to mention my own village.
There were new tenants of the Fang family and other prominent people in the village. It was lively from morning until night.
It's also a loss because there are so many people working for the Fang family now. And there are people from the clan who help, otherwise this banquet would be really difficult.
the next day.
Fang family.
"Xie'er, your mother and I have been extremely busy these days, but mother is happy, mother is happy."
Mrs. Chen was in high spirits, walking with wind, and speaking even more proudly.
"Your affairs are almost settled, it's time to arrange your brother's marriage."
"In two days, you and your father will go to deliver the betrothal gift to the Fuquan family. On a good day this month, we will take care of your brother's affairs."
Fang Chengdu is almost twenty-four, and he is considered an advanced unmarried young man in Daliushu Village.
If you were an ordinary family, you would be laughed at if you didn't marry a wife at this age.
However, Fang Cheng is Fang Yue's eldest brother.
The Fang family is one of the few landlords in the country, and Fang Yue is a martial arts master.
Who doesn't want to marry their daughter into the Fang family, and who doesn't want to get married to the Fang family.
"Yes, I understand, mother. But I'm afraid our yard is not enough, and we need to build a few more rooms."
These days, Fang Yue's family has received a lot of gifts and has dedicated two rooms to store them.
Besides, with so much land under his name, the rent he receives every year alone will be ten times more.
Just for the granary, ten more will have to be built.
Looking at it this way, the yard is too small and needs to be expanded.
At this time, Fang Yue also understood. No wonder the courtyards and houses he saw in his previous life were bigger than a village.
If we don’t build it bigger, we won’t have room to put everything.
Now that we have decided to build a house, it is still winter and not suitable for groundbreaking.
We can only talk about it next year.
Right now, before the Chinese New Year, it's better to get Fang Cheng's marriage settled now.
"Is Fang Juren at home?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that the person coming was Butler Liu. Behind him, Liu Ju and his son Liu Chuanzhi were standing side by side.
There was also a carriage and a few servants, and the carriage contained some gifts.
When Liu Juren saw Fang Yue, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Haha, Fang Juren is very polite. He took the liberty to come to visit. I would also like to ask Haihan."
