The people of Hexi Village were all frightened by Jiang Zhen.
Among them, there are also a few brave and ruthless, but none of them will be as desperate as Jiang Zhen.
Go into the yamen? ! He even dared to think about it!
The villagers of Hexi Village saw Jiang Zhen's expressions all changed.
"Boss Jiang, you have something to say..." The village chief Jiang Ping's tone was very soft. He felt that Jiang Zhen was really crazy, and a lunatic... It would be better for them not to provoke them.
"I'm not talking to you right now?" Jiang Zhen smiled kindly towards the people in front of him.
But the villagers in Hexi Village didn't think his smile was friendly at all, but they all thought it was terrifying, and some people even shrank their heads subconsciously.
The movement on the Jiang family's side was even bigger than last time. The people in the village basically came to watch the fun, and the three floors outside the Jiang family's house were tightly surrounded.
Ordinary people will definitely be afraid when they see this scene, but Jiang Zhen is calm.
He is not afraid of these villagers, even if these people do not care about the lives of the yamen in his hands, he also has the ability to climb on the roof to break through to escape. Of course, he doesn't want to be a fugitive unless he has to - he has always wanted to Those who live a good life in the village have found people who are willing to let him in.
It's a pity that this time he made such a fuss, but it disrupted all his plans.
"Boss Jiang, what are you going to do to let the official go?" Jiang Ping asked again, the knife that Jiang Zhen pressed against Yang Jiang's neck made him tremble, especially afraid that Jiang Zhen would accidentally hurt Yang Jiang. This evil star who can do anything to his own parents and dare to fight the yamen, don't really kill people!
"I can let him go, but I have the conditions." Jiang Zhen said.
"Brother, you can mention whatever conditions you have, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone!" Jiang Chengxiang said quickly.
Jiang Zhen used a bamboo pole to prick his thigh before, which caused him to bleed, but his wound was not particularly serious - Jiang Zhen didn't want to kill anyone, so naturally he was merciful.
However, although the wound is not very serious, Jiang Chengxiang has the feeling that "my life is over" at this moment.
Who is Yang Jiang? That's the person he tried so hard to build a relationship with! It doesn't matter if Boss Jiang hits him, he hits Yang Jiang...
You don't have to think about it, you know that Yang Jiang will definitely come to find his fault in the future... Now Jiang Chengxiang is looking forward to Yang Jiang being able to let him go in the future for the sake of saving him.
"You said that." Jiang Zhen chuckled lightly: "I want to split up."
Split up? Jiang Chengxiang was stunned for a moment. He had thought about using the family separation to threaten his eldest brother, but he didn't expect that after his eldest brother had the advantage, the condition he raised would be the same.
How could his eldest brother want to split up the family? If he leaves the Jiang family, where will he go to eat in the future
No, he has a place to eat. Now he is holding Yang Jiang and forcing them to split up the family. Most of the time, he wants to split the family's fields... Jiang Chengxiang's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Jiang Zhen in horror.
If the Jiang family's land is divided by Jiang Zhen, they are afraid that they will soon become a normal family from a wealthy household in the village, and he will definitely not be able to live so comfortably in the future.
"Okay, just split up, get out of this house for me!" Madam Jiang shouted, she wanted to drive away the evil star now.
"Shut up!" Butcher Jiang shouted at his mother-in-law. At this moment, this woman dares to yell at the boss, it's really desperate!
Glancing at the eldest son who held the knife around the neck of the yamen, Butcher Jiang felt extremely regretful.
He always knew that his wife treated the eldest son very badly, but she condoned it, because he was not close to the eldest son, and because he had given up the eldest son long ago.
It costs money to marry and raise children for his son. He feels that it is enough to have two sons to start a family and inherit the lineage, so he just ignores the eldest son, allows him to be mistreated, and allows him to be a bachelor, and plans to let him help the family for a lifetime. Helping my younger brother alive, so that when the two brothers, Chengcai, Chengxiang, and Chengxiang divide the property in the future, they can get a little more, so as not to get poorer because of the separation of the family—the eldest has no son, so naturally he doesn't need to share the property.
As a result... things have gotten to this point.
If he had known this earlier, he would have treated his eldest son better no matter what.
"Boss, the matter of dividing the family is always well discussed..." Jiang Butcher calmed down. He didn't want to be separated by Jiang Zhen, but he didn't dare to shout at Jiang Zhen, hoping that Jiang Zhen would order less.
That's right, Butcher Jiang had already decided to split up his family. He wouldn't dare to stay at home with such a madman.
"Brother, what do you want?" Jiang Chengxiang asked. As long as he thought that Jiang Zhen was going to take things away, his heart felt as uncomfortable as dripping blood, but he had to agree to Jiang Zhen's request to rescue Yang Jiang, after all Only in this way can Yang Jiang be less angry.
Jiang Zhen could naturally see the thoughts of the Jiang family, and it was a little funny. These people... are really self-inflicted.
If they were safe, he might have left the Jiang family in less than a month. Although there would be less labor at that time, they would not be at a loss... But now...
Not to mention that he has to get some benefits from the Jiang family, even this yamen... is enough for the Jiang family to drink a pot.
"However others divide the family, we will divide it." Jiang Zhen said.
In Hexi Village, there is no rule that parents do not separate the family. Often when the sons are married, the elderly will separate the family. When the family is separated, there are usually several sons, and the family property is divided into several points. Set the rules for how much food and money each son will give to the old age.
If Jiang Zhen was able to get five acres of paddy fields and six to seven acres of dry land according to this score, even if the butcher Jiang and his wife did not share the money, the land would still be worth a lot of money.
"Boss, you are not married, so you can't divide it like this." Butcher Jiang whispered, the bachelors in the village lived with their brothers... Of course, he was mainly reluctant to give Jiang Zhen the land. The price of land here in Hecheng County is expensive. One mu of paddy fields can sell for twenty taels or more, and dry land can be sold for fifteen taels. Jiang Zhen is just cutting his flesh!
Mrs. Jiang was even more reluctant. In her opinion, Jiang Zhen was born to her, even if she was killed by her, she should have done it. Why should she give her something? Just before she could say anything, Jiang Chengxiang covered her mouth.
"If you didn't marry me, how could I not get married?" Jiang Zhen sneered, God knows that most of Jiang's elders want a daughter-in-law
Butcher Jiang regretted it again. Why didn't he recruit Jiang Zhen at that time? Not only can you get a betrothal gift that way, but the scourge will become someone else's.
"However, if you don't want to divide it this way, you can." Jiang Zhen said: "There is another way to divide it."
The so-called another method of division, shouldn't there be more divisions? Jiang Chengxiang was beating drums in his heart, but Jiang Butcher had already asked, "What is the division?"
"I was born and raised by you, but you killed me once before, so it should be worth it." Jiang Zhen said: "Before the age of fifteen, I had been eating at home, but I was also able to work, and I did a lot... I The work you do should be worthy of the kindness of parenting, and I don't ask you anything else."
What does Jiang Zhen mean? Does he want nothing
The people present looked at Jiang Zhen puzzled. At this time, Jiang Zhen said again: "After I was fifteen years old, I was basically doing all the work in the field at home. It can be said that I was working as a long-term worker for you, until now. It's been ten years, and I don't want anything else, you want to give me the wages of a long-term worker."
In Hexi Village, the main family has to take care of the long-term workers' meals, and in addition, they also pay wages.
Zhao Jinge worked as a long-term worker in the family of the big family of Zhao, and the family of the big family of Zhao would give him some food, and in addition, he would also pay wages at the end of the year.
Converted to the copper coins of this year, the value is about the same as the one dollar before Jiang Zhen's time-travel. According to Boss Jiang's memory, pork is sold for almost a dozen copper coins per pound, and food is sold for several copper coins per pound.
A tael of silver would be worth almost a thousand dollars.
Of course, in view of the imperfect market in ancient times, people these days basically have little money in their hands, so the wages are generally very low. When a person is a long-term worker for a year, it is very kind for the master to give five or six taels of silver. Give three or four taels of silver or the equivalent of copper coins for food.
"I've been a long-term worker for ten years, and I don't want much. You can just give me forty taels of silver. Besides, I've done a lot of work at home, besides farm work. I don't want to have anything to do with the Jiang family, and I don't want to give the old man and old Mrs. Jiang old age. Naturally, it is impossible to really want the butcher Jiang to divide the property equally. It is better to draw a clear line and leave.
Jiang Zhen didn't want much sincerity. Forty taels of silver could only buy two acres of paddy fields. People in Jiangping Ping's village thought he was very kind, so the Jiang family was not very happy.
They still thought that Jiang Zhen would be a long-term worker without spending money for them all his life! How could he be willing to let Jiang Zhen leave with forty taels of silver and five stones of grain? Forty taels of silver! Where did they get so much money? !
However, even if they were reluctant, they could only compromise when they saw Jiang Zhen's fierce look and Yang Jiang who was being held by Jiang Zhen.
"Brother, we'll give you everything you want. Hurry up and let Brother Yang go." Jiang Chengxiang directly agreed to Jiang Zhen.
"This can't be done." Jiang Zhen said again.
"You want to go back on it?" Jiang Chengxiang was surprised.
"Of course not." Jiang Zhen said: "But you actually want to harm me this time, and I will definitely pay for it. The land in the west of the village with the thatched hut and the thatched hut above will also be given to me, other than that. Besides, you have to renovate that thatched house for me, and clean it up! When you make that house habitable for me, I will let him go!"
Jiang Zhen said, and patted Yang Jiang's face with the knife in his hand.
Before Jiang Zhen dared to live in Jiang's house, it was because the Jiang family did not have the ability to kill him. Even if they wanted to poison him, they couldn't get a colorless and odorless poison that would not be discovered by him, but now he has offended a yamen. , he has to prevent others from plotting against himself, and the Jiang family can no longer live.
Because of this, Jiang Zhen directly asked to separate the family, as for the Jiang family to pack a place for him...
He offended many people. In order not to implicate Brother Zhao Jin, he would definitely not be able to live in Zhao's house immediately after the separation, so he could only live alone.
Thinking that his relationship with Zhao Jinge would be forced to go underground, and the time to get married would also be delayed, Jiang Zhen's mood suddenly became a little bad, and at the same time gave Jiang Chengxiang a gloomy look.
Jiang Chengxiang shivered, and he was so anxious that the house on the west side of the village was really broken, and it would definitely take a lot of time to clean up. die yourself.
But now, what can they do other than listen to Jiang Zhen's words
"Jiang Chengxiang, what are you doing here? Hurry up and fix that house!" Yang Jiang shouted, with a knife still on his neck, the Jiang family didn't even hurry to get things done!
