My life skills in Daming Liver

Cai Yuanwai was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, and Fang Jing on the opposite side said happily: "The county government has accepted the case. According to previous cases, the Xiong family's tea garden will be awarded to us."

Yuanwai Cai finally smiled, worrying about family affairs these days, he seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden.

But it's worth it!

The Xiong family's tea garden has been in operation for a year, and the net income is about one hundred taels of silver.

But the Xiong family is a small-scale farmer, and they have to hire labor when picking tea, and the tea can only be sold locally, which is why the income is so low.

If a big family takes over and uses domestic slaves to pick tea leaves and sell them to Yuegang, the income can be doubled.

The tea garden is full of tea trees that have been managed by the Xiong family for several generations. The income of this tea garden is stable, and the tea leaves are also hard currency. If the entire tea garden is sold, the market price will be around one thousand taels of silver.

This price is already quite terrifying. Yu Zongyuan separated from Yu's family, and the property he brought out was four shops plus one thousand taels of silver.

It was a pity for Cai Yuanwai, if he swallowed the Xiong family's tea garden according to the previous plan, the Cai family's property would grow a lot.

But now that the Xiongjia tea garden is swallowed, I'm afraid it can only be sold.

Let's get through this year first, as long as we survive this year, the Cai family's Zhuangzi can switch to other crops, and the dyeing workshop can also switch to selling other things, so that the Cai family can survive.

Cai Yuanwai's intentions are good, but obviously things can't make him get what he wants.

While he was talking with Fang Jing, the steward suddenly came in and said, "Member, the government office is here to deliver the summons!"

summons?

Fang Jing immediately stepped forward and said, "What's the matter? Why not the county government? The government government came directly to deliver it?"

The person in charge said, "I don't even know the little one!"

Cai Yuanwai said: "Take care of his government and county government, I want to see what else I can sue our Cai family!"

Fang Jing followed Cai Yuanwai, and when he first entered the courtyard, he saw a clerk in a soap-colored official uniform standing in front of the door holding a government office summons.

Recently, the affairs of Cai's family have become a hot topic in Nanping County. A group of people also surrounded the alley, pointing at the gate of Cai's mansion.

Cai Yuanwai knew that this was deliberately embarrassing him by the officials of the government office. When he thought that he was an official from the fifth rank to being bullied by subordinate officials, Cai Yuanwai's hatred for Su Ze deepened.

The clerk read out the government office's summons, rejected Fang Jing's invitation to take him into the house, and walked away with his assistants.

After reading the paper, Fang Jing only felt that something was wrong.

There was more than one person who sued the Cai Mansion. When Cai Yuanwai purchased the land, he also used many methods in order to reduce the payment of land taxes in the future.

The most commonly used method is naturally to hide the land and conceal the area of ​​the land.

Concealing the reported area can also lower land prices, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

But Su Ze didn't know what magical method he used. He even found the people who sold Cai Yuanwai's land or their descendants, and asked them to go to the government office to sue Cai Yuanwai for occupying their land at a low price, and also reported Cai Yuanwai's farm. Tax evasion!

Fang Jing broke into a cold sweat, Su Ze's methods were too ruthless!

The Cai family started from the field, and Su Ze also started from the field. The farm of the Cai family is the lifeblood of Yuanwai Cai, and the result of his life's struggle.

On the subpoena sent by the government office, it was stated that the government office wanted to clear Zhang Cai's family's farm.

Fang Jing is out of control, and Cai Yuanwai is also confused. This Su Ze has great supernatural powers. He can dig up these old files and encourage these people to sue him.

The key is how can he get the government government to come forward, directly bypass the county government that the Cai family can influence, and give the Cai family's farm and land?

Cai Yuanwai thought it was unbelievable. Su Ze, a scholar in the remote area of ​​Changningwei, is not even a scholar. Why does he have such energy?

It doesn't matter! There are also tea gardens!

Just take down the tea garden of Xiong's family, sell the tea garden, and then go to the inspector's office to manage it! Sure to settle these cases!

Just how much money will be wasted again, Yuanwai Cai felt regret for the first time, but he regretted not taking down the tea garden of Xiong's family earlier.

But bad news always came sooner, and a manager rushed into the mansion again.

"Member! The Dusi Yamen sent a letter to the Xiong family!"

"what happened!"

Yuanwai Cai completely lost his composure.

Now that the Xiong family has Jingbiao, Mother Xiong is no longer an ordinary woman, but an excellent model known throughout the province.

The property dispute lawsuit against the Xiong Family Tea Plantation was naturally withdrawn.

What? Will the province's moral model usurp clan property?

"Tell me! Mother Xiong, how did she get the court letter! It was issued by the Dusi Yamen herself!"

The person in charge was about to lose his breath, so Yuanwai Cai let go of his hand, and the person in charge gasped and said:

"It's Yu's house."

"How could the Yu family meddle in this matter!"

"The second son of the Yu family led his troops to exterminate the Japanese pirates some time ago, and Xiong Yue was on the list of petitions submitted to the capital's Yamen. The petition was operated by the Yu family."

The magistrate's yamen and the commander of Yanping Weidu, why are these people willing to be used as a gun by Su Ze, a small scholar, against themselves?

Cai Yuanwai couldn't figure it out.

But in just a few days, the momentum of offense and defense changed, and the Cai family fell into a disadvantage again. The members of Cai worked hard to move around, in order to keep the two farms.

All of this is naturally Su Ze's handwriting.

To ask for credit for the dead Xiong Yue, what Su Ze paid was nothing more than the corpse of a Japanese pirate and a Japanese sword. By the way, he brought the angel investor Yu Zongyuan the position of promotion officer of the Fuzhou Zuowei General Banner, and let Yu Zongyuan Zong Yuan was qualified to participate in the Fujian Martial Arts Competition next year.

The so-called Pushing Officer corresponds to the position of military commander.

Yu Commander's Commander is a world job and can be passed on to the next generation after death.

The pushing officer is a treatment that cannot be passed on to the next generation, but can only be enjoyed by oneself.

Although it is only the General Banner, which is a low-level position outside the eighth rank of the official, but for the family, next year's martial arts qualification is the highlight.

According to the management of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, for Chinese-style martial arts, the first place can be directly awarded the position of deputy thousand households, and everyone below the second can be promoted sequentially, at least to the position of hundred households.

Yu Zongyuan was awarded the General Banner this time. As long as he wins the martial arts exam again, he can be given the promotion officer of the deputy thousand households according to the usual practice.

Su Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as expected, there are people in the court who are easy to handle.

The same credit, given to ordinary pawns, may be an extra level, given to the small flag or the general flag, and this life is almost over.

But the Yu family worked a bit, relying on a Japanese pirate head and a Japanese sword, Yu Zongyuan got the qualification for the martial arts. I heard that the Yu family has already taken care of it. This time, Yu Zongyuan will definitely be admitted.

Martial arts examinations are different from civil servants' imperial examinations. The seriousness of the examinations is mediocre. Except for the first few who can guarantee real talents and practical learning, many of the latter few are descendants of guard generals who engaged in selfishness and fraud.

For Su Ze's kindness to him, Second Young Master Yu is naturally very grateful. The only regret is that he will report to Fuzhou Zuowei in Fuzhou Prefecture before the martial arts.

Saying farewell to Su Ze, Yu Zongyuan entrusted all the shops in Nanping City to Su Ze, took his concubine Ji, money and treasures, and headed for Fuzhou City.

After solving the problem of the Xiong family's lawsuit, Su Ze's solution to the Cai family is to repay him with his own way.

This year, Yanping Mansion’s summer grain was not fully collected, and the imperial court did not exempt Fujian’s summer grain because of the Japanese pirates. Fang Zhifu was worried in the magistrate’s yamen, and this news reached Su Ze’s ears through Lin Xianyang.

The collection of summer and autumn grain in the Ming Dynasty was not to be paid in full at the first time.

Take summer grain as an example. The provinces of summer grain vary according to the time when the grain matures. Basically, harvest collection starts in August.

If 80% of the annual summer grain collection tasks are completed in August, they are considered qualified. In the next three months, that is, if the remaining two transactions are completed before November, then the tax collection test scores can be considered qualified.

In the Ming Dynasty, the tax collection was the first thing that was considered by officials, so the biggest headache for every official was the problem of insufficient food collection.

As the new magistrate of Fang Zhifu, the collection of summer grain is his key task, but this year's summer grain in Yanping Mansion is still quite short.

The reason is naturally very simple. The Japanese pirates besieged Sha County during the summer grain harvest, which caused a poor harvest in Sha County and affected the grain collection work of the entire Yanping Prefecture.

If the gap was smaller, the government would use public funds to buy some food to make up for it, but this year's gap is particularly large, and the government has no ability to fill the hole because the Japanese pirates have spent a lot of money.

After getting the news, Su Ze made a decisive move.

Still through Fang Ruolan, Su Ze proposed to Fang Zhifu the plan of "borrowing Cai's family for the first time".

The reason why the Cai family was chosen was because the reputation of the Cai family was already rotten in Yanping Mansion, and all the powerful families were cutting off the Cai family, and doing something to the Cai family would not cause the entire gentry class to join forces to resist.

With a good reputation, no one will help you when you are in trouble, but no one will help you when you are in trouble.

With a bad reputation, no one will help you when you are in trouble, and there will be a lot of people applauding and applauding.

The bad reputation of the Cai family made him the fat sheep that Fang Zhifu chose to slaughter to make up for the shortage of summer grain.

As for the property sales data of the Cai family, Su Ze asked Lin Xianda to check in Bijia Pavilion of the county government.

Bijia Pavilion is the place where the county government stores archives and past official documents, which naturally also includes the record contracts of the county's land sales.

After the transfer of ownership of the land property, it is necessary to obtain a red deed with the seal of the government, and the government will also record the information of the buyer and the seller and the area and location of the purchased land.

These records are the tax calculation basis for the tax collectors to collect taxes in the coming year, and they are also the record transfer materials to prevent the two parties from entangled in land issues.

Lin Xianda dug out all the archives of the Cai family's purchase of fields over the past few decades. Su Ze asked Xiong Wu to take people to find the original sellers one by one. Some of the sellers themselves are gone, and then look for their descendants.

After such an investigation, it turned out that the Cai family underreported the area of ​​the purchased land in order to avoid taxes and lower land prices.

Fang Zhifu, who was worrying about the shortage of summer grain, agreed almost immediately after hearing the "suggestion" from his daughter.

Su Ze also observed a magistrate's thunderous tactics against the gentry.

It has to be said that the power of the parent officer is still great.

If Fang Zhifu wants to deal with the gentry in the entire Yanping Prefecture, such as paying additional fees to all landlords, it will definitely encounter joint resistance.

But Fang Zhifu had to deal with a member of the gentry, the most notorious Cai family, the situation was completely different.

All the big families in Yanping Mansion stood by and watched Fang Zhifu use his means.

The plaintiff arranged by Su Ze went to the county government. After the county government rejected the lawsuit, Fang Zhifu immediately used the authority of the government government to bring the lawsuit to the government government.

Immediately after accepting the merger case, all the plaintiffs were asked to write down the pleadings, and then sent them to the Cai Mansion.

The Cai family was still ready to argue, and Li Tongpan, the government office, personally led all the households and canals to dispatch to clear the land of the two manors outside the Cai family.

Needless to say, the result is that the comparison between the records in the Cai Family Farm and the records in the Nanping county yamen's land book revealed that nearly half of the land had been concealed.

Now the case has been settled. The Cai family is not only involved in the dispute of buying and selling land, but also involves tax evasion.

Cai Yuanwai is a retired official, and it is difficult to arrest an official, so the government immediately seized Fang Jing, the lawyer who had sued Cai Yuanwai, in the prison of the government government. (Corrected above, Fang Jing has no fame)

Fang Jing is just a frail scholar, and how could he survive the prison of the government office, so he quickly explained all the problems with the property of the Cai family, and by the way, wiped out all the dirty things he did to the Fang family over the years.

Naturally, this also includes the case of the Xiong family.

Now Fang Zhifu is not polite anymore, and directly starts to retry these cases.

Some of the cases were committed before, and the witnesses and material evidence are still there. Although Cai Bangzhuang, the principal of Xiong Yue's case, is dead, the gambler who transported Cai Bangzhuang's body is still in the prison of the county government. The trial of the case did not cost much strength.

Fang Zhifu asked the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing and Fujian to learn how to write in the yamen, and asked for the removal of Cai's official status and fame, and then quickly controlled the Cai family.

Under such a series of slaps, Cai Yuanwai had no room to resist, and even the person who helped him rescue the intercessor had not received any news, and the case had already been made an iron case.

Everyone in Yanping Mansion understands that the Cai family is doomed.

As long as the official document from the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing comes down, Cai Yuanwai will be arrested and imprisoned without official protection.

In order to make up for the tax owed by concealing the acres of land over the years, the Cai family had to start selling the land.

However, the Cai family's estates are all land in litigation, and the land itself has disputes and cannot be sold. The Cai family can only sell the seven dyeing workshops in the city and the tea garden at the foot of Wuyi Mountain.

But even so, no one dared to care about Yanping Mansion.

The reason is naturally that the Cai family has too many lawsuits. What if there are disputes in these industries?

However, the more the government government forced the more urgent, the Cai family had no choice but to continue to sell at a lower price.

When the price was lower than when the Cai family purchased these properties a few years ago, Su Ze went to the Cai family's door with silver.

Cai Yuanwai was already dying in bed. Although the Nanjing official department did not reply, Fujian Tixue was a senior in the prefect of Fang Zhifu.

This is tantamount to cutting off the official career of the Cai family, and Cai Yuanwai cannot afford to be ill.

"Get out! I won't sell the property to you even if I die!"

Cai Yuanwai sat up as if returning to the light, and drove Su Ze out of the room.

But Cai Yuanwai's two sons followed immediately.

"Master Su, my father is ill and confused, the shop and the tea garden can be sold, let's talk about it here."

Su Ze bargained again and bought Cai's tea garden, which was bigger than Xiong's tea garden, with 800 taels of silver.

The price of each of the seven dyeing shops is one hundred taels, a total of one thousand five hundred taels of silver.

Relying on King Lu's treasure and the income from robbery, Su Ze signed the contract with a stroke of a pen.

Cai Yuanwai died, and Fang Jing, the litigant, was sentenced to exile, and he would only execute it after being reviewed by the procuratorate.

The two sons of the Cai family were not involved in the conspiracy, and both were also deprived of their merits. They had to make up all the hidden land property they owed, and they had to make up the money they had bought the land at a low price.

The Cai family fell into a slump, and the rich families of Yanping Mansion looked at the mansion with awe.

Su Ze also admired Fang Zhifu's methods very much. This set of combos and fights took away the Cai family.

Sure enough, I still have a lot to learn.

This set of combo moves against the squire can almost be called a textbook-like model.

Besides Su Ze, Hai Rui also changed his opinion on Fang Zhifu.

Hai Rui came to the door to apologize, and discussed the way of being an official with Fang Zhifu, and he felt like a bosom friend.

Su Ze comforted Xiong Yue after his death.

Su Ze began to read and practice calligraphy behind closed doors. After writing the last page of the copybook, his calligraphy skills improved.

I finally finished writing this plot, and retracted all the foreshadowing.
