The night rain crackled down, and the Ye family village was filled with joy, with lights and colorful decorations. From time to time, children would eagerly wait under the eaves, only to be pulled back by women without a trace of adult men.
Zhuangzi is quiet, with a thick and solemn exterior wall made of bluestone and cement. The entire Zhuangzi is no longer a landlord's fortress, but more like a newly emerging small town. Lights are lit on the city walls, and patrols are carried out in the rain as usual. From time to time, people are alert and look out of the city.
The ox cart drove past and gradually approached. Ye Zifan sat in the cart, looking into the distance late at night with his hand on his forehead, lost in thought. After an unknown amount of time, the cart stopped and the driver spoke cautiously, "Third Master... we have arrived at the gate of the village now, and Young Master has already disembarked
Mmm! "Ye Zifan responded with a sound and walked out. The lights were brightly lit, and both rows were filled with clan soldiers. There were also a large number of clan members and their children lined up in silence.
As Ye Qing went down, thousands of people knelt down and said, "Greetings to the second ranked Duke
Everyone get up, they're all our own people, there's no need to be too polite! "Ye Qing waved her hand and said.
The clan leader is waiting for you inside. Please go in quickly. We will handle the rest of the matter, "said a steward, leading the way and smiling sideways.
Ye Qing walked forward and saw lush peach trees in the area. She smiled and said, "I've been there for half a year, but when I come back, I don't want all the peach blossoms to fall
Speaking, she smiled and instructed Jiang Zinan to bring a box and follow her up, then walked up the stairs.
Arriving at the upper level of the building, I stepped inside and saw a furnace of cigarettes lit inside. Ye Mengqiu was lost in thought when she saw Ye Qing come in and stood up.
Ye Qing stepped forward and bowed, "Grandfather, I'm back
Ye Mengqiu suppressed her emotions and said, "You're finally back, just come back, just come back
Ye Qing waved her hand, and Jiang Zinan presented the wooden box before obediently retreating.
Ye Mengqiu's hand trembled slightly as he opened it, revealing a golden scroll of text. On one hand, it contained an imperial decree appointing Ye Qing as the eighth rank Hanlin Compiler and Nanlian Zi. On the other hand, it was a Jinshi Gongwen, confirming that Ye Qing was ranked second in the imperial examination. On the other hand, it was a temporary dispatch from the state, with the county's Youth League Training Committee serving as the official document.
These four official documents, each one emitting a charming radiance in Ye Mengqiu's eyes.
Below is the pressed crown suit.
After a long time, Ye Mengqiu said, "These four scrolls can protect my Ye tribe for a hundred years
After a pause, he said, "Since you are a Jinshi and honor your ancestors, the rules must be changed. In the morning, you will sacrifice Jinshi's memorial?archway and ancestral temple. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ye Qing smiled: "This is no problem. According to the rules, we should first sacrifice Jinshi memorial?archway and then sacrifice the ancestral temple."
Ye Mengqiu nodded: "We will sacrifice tomorrow. We will sacrifice to Jinshi memorial?archway in the morning. We will sacrifice to the ancestral temple in the morning. At noon, we will go to the original ancestral temple. I will pass the throne to you!"
Speaking simply, Ye Qing couldn't help but lean back and exclaimed, "How dare my grandson? My grandfather is still very healthy, and besides, there are three uncles and their elders
Before the words could finish, Ye Mengqiu waved her hand and stopped, saying, "You don't need to say anything about it. There's no one in the building now, and if there's a commotion, we won't be able to do anything
Not to mention you, anyone who can become a jinshi would receive this treatment, "Ye Mengqiu said with a smile." To put it bluntly, even if I don't delegate power, who in the clan would dare not listen to you as a jinshi? Instead of causing trouble and draining the clan's vitality, it's better to be generous
Ye Qing was taken aback for a moment, staring at Ye Mengqiu for a long time. She suddenly straightened her face and bowed deeply, "Yes, then my grandson is ashamed
This is my good grandson! "Ye Mengqiu leaned back in his chair and pondered," But if you want to take over, there must be a charter. What do you think
I have no objection, "Ye Qing smiled and felt clear in her heart. She knew that this was the condition, but in fact, the essence was like this. Ye Qing had become a jinshi, who in the clan dared not listen?
Even if Ye Mengqiu doesn't retreat, it won't have much impact.
Even if we take a step back, Ye Qing has passed the imperial examination this time and owns tens of thousands of acres of land. Recently, more than 300 people have joined him. In just five years, it will not be difficult for him to create a new Ye tribe that surpasses the Ye family village.
However, Ye Mengqiu automatically passed on the throne, saving a lot of trouble and having a good reputation. He pondered for a moment and said, "I originally bought ten thousand acres of bad land, but I heard that the land quality has improved recently. Although it won't immediately become good farmland, it's only a few years
I will allocate three thousand acres within the clan. The specific method of allocation will be overseen by my grandfather and third uncle
As soon as these words fell, Ye Mengqiu clapped her hands and laughed heartily, "Da Shan, if you have this heart, I will have no worries
After a pause, he continued, "Tomorrow I will hand over the family's account book to you. Let me give you some information first. The real amount of silver in the family's memory is 170000 taels
Glancing at Ye Qing's face, he continued, "From last year to this year, our family earned 270000 taels of silver from Zhuyeqing liquor. However, our clan distributed dividends and spent more than half of it on building roads and canals, leaving only 60000 taels of silver. These 110000 taels were accumulated from before
Ye Qing didn't care and smiled, "Bamboo Leaf Green Wine can still earn for two years, with at least 500000 taels of silver income. Even if this major item is removed and presented to the court in the future, the court will definitely reward and protect some shares. It is certain that there will be a dividend of 50000 taels of silver per year
Besides, at that time, all the farmland and houses had been developed, and about 200 hectares of farmland were still afraid of not having any income
Ye Mengqiu remained silent for a long time before asking, "Is this bamboo leaf green wine really only suitable for three years
Ye Qing looked at his grandfather in surprise and said, "I have already analyzed the pros and cons here for you and the elders of the clan. I can only hold it in my hands for three years, and any more will cause great trouble. You all agreed to these at that time
But now you are a two ranked jinshi... "Ye Mengqiu hesitated a bit.
You can't even make it to the top of the two imperial examinations! "Ye Qing heard his grandfather and his family making a decision, but he suddenly lost his smile and said firmly," When you see making money, you become so greedy that you don't even want your life
Grandfather, if you have this idea, don't pass on the throne to me. I will immediately start my own business
This remark was extremely sharp, which immediately made Ye Mengqiu unable to bear it and angry, "Is that how you speak to your grandfather? Is that how you repay the clan
The originally harmonious atmosphere was swept away, and Ye Qing didn't even say a word. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned around and left. Ye Mengqiu trembled all over in anger, pointing to his back and shouting, "Okay... are your wings fully developed
Ye Qingli ignored it and headed towards the stairs.
Rebirthed by oneself, almost all the luck and resources were obtained through self struggle. I made bamboo leaf green wine and most of the profits were handed over to the clan.
Buying ten thousand acres of barren land was also selling one's own shares and redeeming it. At this time, when he passed the imperial examination and returned, he immediately offered three thousand acres to his clan.
Consciously fulfilling all blood related obligations.
The tribe has been blinded by the greed of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver this year, and they all say it clearly. They know that the disaster is unfathomable, and they still want to take it upon themselves?
What is the essence of this?
The idea of sacrificing oneself to make money is completely insane!
For true family members, even so, it may be difficult to apply a one size fits all approach, but what kind of person is Ye Qing? She is a time traveler and doesn't even have the mood to play with them at this time.
Go out laughing and looking up at the sky, are we not Penghao people!
Seeing this grandson ignore him and step onto the first step of the stairs, Ye Mengqiu suddenly had a realization that made him angry and sad - if he stepped out, there would be no such person in the clan.
Slow down, come back! "Ye Mengqiu said.
As Ye Qing stopped in her tracks and turned around, Ye Mengqiu couldn't help but gasp and cough fiercely. After a long time, she stopped and looked at Ye Qing with a sorrowful expression: "Even if there is something that has been done to you within the clan, you can still refute and discuss it. If you don't agree, just wave your sleeve and leave. Do you hate the clan like this? Are you so decisive and decisive, without hesitation
Seeing Ye Qing not speaking for a long time, Ye Mengqiu finally showed a disappointed expression, took a deep breath, and suddenly aged ten years: "It's okay, tomorrow you will be the clan leader. Whatever you want to do, do it
Ye Qing bowed again with a calm expression and said, "Yes, Grandfather, it's getting late. Please rest early, and I'll go back to deal with some things
Okay, you go ahead. "Ye Mengqiu saw Ye Qing's smiling and harmonious expression, and said in a daze. After speaking, she stood up and walked slowly for a few steps, reaching the entrance of the building. Looking down, she saw a misty rainy night, but the people below were not affected at all, cheering and jumping with a festive atmosphere.
Looking further away, a lush green field with thousands of acres of fertile land could be faintly seen, and Ye Qing, who was leaving the house, was greeting people in the courtyard. He was calm and graceful, with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and his voice became a bit hoarse: "Alas, I have the danger of mountains and rivers in my heart, and the depth of the city in my heart. I don't want this son's thoughts to be so deep. It's really terrifying
However, Ye Qing actually had no such intention, and the scale in her heart was very simple.
Combine them and treat them with a sincere heart
No, let's laugh loudly and go out
However, this is only a talent possessed by the highest level of scholars. There is a great article here that cannot be said in secret. At this moment, seeing everyone joyfully greeting, how could he have a cold expression? Suddenly, everyone became harmonious in this atmosphere.
Young Master Qing, the Emperor has heard that it is inhabited by heavenly beings, so it must be much better than here
Ye Qing shook her head slightly and smiled, "No matter how many people and houses there are, it must be the imperial capital. But isn't a golden nest or silver nest better than a dog's nest? There's no one better than home - let's talk about your wife Li, who makes braised chicken. There's no family in the imperial capital that makes this kind of taste
Li's wife's eyes lit up when she heard this and said, "It's rare that Young Master Qing still remembers the braised chicken I made - I'll make braised chicken tonight, and I'll choose a big rooster, fat and tender. I'll bring you a few tomorrow morning
Ye Qing couldn't help but applaud and laugh, saying, "With Mrs. Li's words, my mouth watered. Let's give three as a gift. Both Qianqian and I like them
As he spoke, he waved his hand and headed towards his mansion, but a graceful figure appeared in his heart. His eyes immediately darkened with a hint of tenderness.
