Capítulo 23: Chapter 0023: Taiping Lake
The same ox cart was patrolling the fields, and this time it was Ye Qing'an sitting on it, watching them, while Zhuangtou Sun Guatian had specially accompanied them.
The ox cart stopped, and Sun Guatian pointed to a piece of land and said, "Young Master, look, it's connected to the river, totaling 121 acres. There are also melon fields on the dam, connected to the canal and windmill. What do you think
Ye Qing listened carefully and saw that these 121 acres were connected in a neat and orderly manner, with a water wheel built at the mouth of the river channel. She couldn't help but nod her head and smile, saying, "Very good, this piece of land is very good. Who is the specific farmer? Who is in charge
Sun Guatian felt a little happy when he saw Ye Qing's smile and said, "Many people are willing to plant this field because it is close to the river, has a canal, and collects a lot of grain. The specific management will be designated by Young Master Qing
Ye Qing took a deep breath and smiled, "I am the only one in this room now. Qianqian is a woman and cannot personally manage it. You can help me arrange this matter, and the management will be designated by you. Who in the clan doesn't know your reputation? You can handle things with peace of mind
Thank you for your trust, Young Master Qing. I will definitely handle it properly, "Sun Guatian smiled. He managed 1200 acres of land, and these 120 acres were neither too much nor too little. Leaving aside the benefits, the trust and power still made him happy.
After finishing this matter, everyone relaxed. Ye Qing took a leisurely walk and watched, and Sun Guatian also felt normal. The first time he saw his private field, he always had to watch it more.
The Ye clan is a big clan, and there are rules for big clans. Not only are there differences between clan brothers, but also between biological brothers. If Young Master Qing can enter school, it will be different. He is only fifteen years old now, and if he can become a scholar within ten years, he may have to be given some of the power in the clan to manage.
Although Sun Guatian is a member of Ye Zifan's family, he is ultimately a child of the Ye clan. A more attentive attitude can win the favor of the future ruler of the main family, which is a win-win situation.
As for the young master Sheng, he shook his head secretly at the thought of Sun Guatian. He now had a gloomy expression and didn't pay attention to the tasks assigned to him. He was bored all day long and even drank excessively. Such a young master had no future to speak of!
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Ye Qing say, "As for the rent and taxes in the fields, how much is the clan's current regulation
There are three types of fields: upper field, middle field, and lower field. The young master's 30 acres here are upper field, which earns 55% rent, while the rest are middle field, which earns 50% rent, "Sun Guatian said carefully.
The most common situation is that the main tenant is divided equally, which is also the legal rent rate of the Da Cai Dynasty. However, in reality, there are six main tenants divided into four, and even seven main tenants divided into three.
The Ye family is considered a relatively generous one, "Ye Qing couldn't help but smile and pondered for a moment before saying," This tax
After hearing these words, Sun Guatian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and his face stiffened a bit. Could it be that this young master wants to adjust the tax?
In theory, this is the rightful right of the landowner, but in reality, the fields within the clan are interconnected, and resentment arises when they are raised. How do we view other fields when they are lowered?
This is difficult to manage. I was about to persuade you a few words, but I heard Ye Qing say, "I won't adjust the tax matters. This is the rule of the tribe, but I can buy a few oxen for the field. How much does each ox cost
At this point, Ye Qing glanced up and smiled, "Hmm... didn't you think I was young and energetic just now and wanted to adjust the tax
Sun Guatian's face turned red as he lowered his voice and said, "It's just wishful thinking. Young Master, a plow cow is now worth fifteen taels of silver at market price, and a calf is worth five taels of silver. With this hundred acre field, you only need two plow cows
Then I'll give you thirty taels of silver. If you handle this matter, we can agree that this plow cow is only for use and cannot lose weight. If it gets sick and dies, I won't follow it
Of course! "Sun Guatian chuckled and thought to himself that the tenant would be happy because the rent would be reduced by 50%, and the tenant farmers would need to bring their own livestock, farming tools, seeds, and fertilizers.
Once the landlord provides livestock for farming, they often overcharge the tenant farmers by more than 10%. Now that the land rent remains unchanged, this is actually a rent reduction.
At this moment, walking on the riverbank, although it is late autumn, you can still see the withered lotus on the riverbank. It must be swaying and lively in summer, and you cannot help but feel relaxed and happy. At this moment, stand and enjoy the scenery.
Although it was just for enjoying the scenery, I opened my spiritual eyes and saw that this piece of land had already been planned, and a trace of invisible white air floated over me, gathering slightly more than before the rent reduction.
And at this moment, the position of the child also stabilized, and when they looked together, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Although Bai Qi is constantly growing and accumulating, relying solely on the fortune of a scholar within the clan may require ten years of accumulation, which is in line with the norm of this era.
It's so difficult to obtain good fortune when you're in a humble position! "Ye Qing thought to herself, but she lost interest and continued reading." Well, that's all for now. Just follow these rules and regulations
Ye Qing got on the ox cart and ordered, "Go to the clan hall in the mansion. I want to meet Uncle San
The driver of the ox cart responded and went straight to the clan hall before entering. He met a steward with three strands of mustache, yellow and white skin, and bowed respectfully.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's request, he said, "Young Master Qing, please take a seat. I'm sure Third Master will meet you soon
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing waved her hand and said, "Uncle San is handling clan affairs, and I am waiting for him
Just after taking a sip of tea, someone came over and said, "Young Master Qing, please come in. Third Master is already waiting
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing put down her teacup and walked in. She saw Ye Zifan not raising her head and criticizing someone, only saying, "Have you seen the fields? Sit down, what's wrong with you
I have seen the fields, and the clan takes good care of them. They are all Ueda and Nakata, and they are also by the river
It's good if you're satisfied, but this is a small matter. With a clan member in charge, if you're not confident, you can go and check on it often. You can't delay the Dao Ye
I want you to move to the clan school in a few days, teach children, read books, and have a collection of three thousand volumes. It's a place to increase your knowledge. Don't let me down
As he finished speaking, he lifted his head and looked at Ye Qing. However, when he looked at her, he was suddenly stunned and his eyes showed a strange light, as if he didn't believe it. He looked carefully again and said, "Have you entered the door
Yes, the government has issued a decree, and after three days of meditation, I finally found my way in. "Ye Qing knew what he was asking and smiled slightly.
Ye Zifan took a cold breath, stood up and took a few steps before calming his emotions. He said softly, "I thought you were good at literature and had some good character when you entered the Dao in three days. I didn't want you to have the ability - by the way, what's the matter with you coming this time
Ye Qing stood up and bowed, saying, "I want to take the county exam in spring
What? "Ye Zifan couldn't help but gasp in surprise as he scanned over.
At this moment, the room was quiet, and Ye Zifan didn't say much. He just coughed and paced for a moment before turning back and asking, "Is it a bit early
Most young students who have passed the county entrance examination will stay at home to cultivate their energy and study. They will only go to the county entrance examination in the next year. If they pass, they will go to the county entrance examination in February of the following year, and it is rare for them to pass even
And you are already a child, so you should know many things. If you rush to take the exam, not only our Ye tribe, but also the big clans in the county, you may not be able to win
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing realized that this was actually against the norm. Firstly, there is a process of growth and transformation of qi, and secondly, one's own literary talent and moral cultivation also need to be enhanced.
But for him, there is no room for relaxation now. He can prepare one year earlier and say, "Uncle San's teachings are... but my nephew is somewhat confident
Speaking of which, Ye Qing's gaze was solemn, but her eyebrows were full of charm: "Literary talent cannot be concealed, Uncle San. I went to the county to read the collections of previous scholars, and I feel that I am no less than the top five. This time, I am pleading with my family
I also know that the support within the clan is limited and cannot be squandered. I don't need much either. As county examination talents can afford it normally, we still need strong support from within the clan
Other conditions, I will prepare them myself during this period
After hearing these words, Ye Zifan stared at his nephew for half a moment before turning pale and saying, "You're just a child, how can you prepare
The county examination is not only about literature, but also about Taoism. Literature is a talent, and I feel that I am not inferior to others, nephew. As for Taoism, do you believe it? I can enter Taoism in three days. By the county examination in February next year, my Taoism will be equivalent to the level of an ordinary scholar
Also, I will study abroad in a few days, make friends with the county, spread my reputation, and I will definitely gain something
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zifan stared intently at Ye Qing - literary talent, Daoism, county tourism, how did Ye Qing know about these things?
Could it really be that my own brother taught me before he died?
But at that time, Ye Qing was only ten years old, could he have this realization in his heart and speak confidently at this point?
Although I still take it for granted, I have seen the pattern of character. Why don't I have such a son? Thinking of this, a pain welled up in his heart. Ye Zifan sat down with a hoarse voice and said, "Every little bit of savings within the clan is hard-earned. You're right, maybe you can guarantee it
I can't guarantee it, but Uncle San, think about it. The age limit for becoming a jinshi is 48 years old, and the age limit for becoming a jinshi is 36 years old. If you want to truly enter your studies, how many classes will be delayed
Don't take advantage of the big luck and work hard, are you just waiting to waste time and grow old
I want to take a chance, doesn't the clan want to
As soon as these words fell, Ye Zifan's face changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he sighed, "Since you have the determination to step into Tianmen, how can the clan stop you? You go down, I will tell the clan leader
Ye Qing stood up and gave a deep bow, "Yes, then I'll take my leave
After leaving, Ye Qing returned to the courtyard, but her expression turned serious. Although she was generous in front of Ye Zifan, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.
To climb to the sky in one step, what is required is not a minority, and the support of the Ye tribe is only the most basic.
How can I seek luck? In my past life, I encountered opportunities and how many of them could I take? "As I was pondering, I saw Qianqian cheering over." Young master, the butler sent someone to bring silver fish. I heard that it was caught in the net from Taiping Lake in the south this morning and transported by a fast ship. It's very fresh
A flash of inspiration flashed through Ye Qing's heart as she opened her eyes abruptly and said, "Qianqian, repeat what you just said
Uh, is it fresh to be transported by the fast ship
No, it's the previous sentence
Qianqian lifted her small face and looked solemnly, "Young master, in the stories you tell, the protagonists always play tricks on people like this. Qianqian won't fall for it
Ye Qing was a bit speechless, looking at her with an impulse to "extract a confession by torture".
Qianqian smiled and her eyes curved into a crescent moon. "Okay, I'm not joking, is it too flat
It's Taiping Lake! "Ye Qing grabbed this spiritual light and lowered her jaw heavily.
Taiping Longjun, the most talented scholar, transforms into a human form every Mid Autumn Festival and goes to the lakeside to listen to scholars reciting poetry and music, and to evaluate poetry and prose.
This is a common occurrence, but once, on a whim, Long Jun felt unsatisfied and set up a Dragon Jun banquet in the Crystal Palace inside the lake, inviting literati to join the banquet. As a result, in his memory, someone won the championship and became famous throughout the world, spreading a good story.
Upon careful consideration, it seems to be this year.
Taiping Lake, Dragon King Banquet! "Ye Qing's plan suddenly became clear, and she excitedly picked up Qianqian, laughing and spinning a few times.
It didn't matter in the bed in the inner room, but during the day in the yard, Qianqiandun felt her strength suddenly drained away, and her voice sounded like mosquitoes and flies: 'Young master, young master...'
Ye Qing woke up and felt the softness in her arms. She quickly looked around and saw the servant's gaze. She awkwardly put it down and changed the topic: "Nothing, just wanted you to remind me of one thing. As a child, I want to visit Taiping Lake to relax and avoid distractions
Qianqian pretended not to care, and the red clouds dyed the girl's ears.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qing's heart stirred and she said, "You will come with me
