Chapter 10

"Little San'er, my safety will depend on you from now on."

Jiang Lin patted Xiao San'er on the shoulder, and immediately Xiao San'er felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier. He imitated Jiang Chengjin and stood up straight, then saluted in a dignified way, and said loudly:

"Yes, Captain."

"very good."

. . .

Just after returning home at the entrance of the town, Jiang Chengdong arrived. Xiao San'er quickly asked the ten people behind him to spread out around the yard to protect him.

"Captain, I have almost purchased the land you ordered me to buy."

Seeing Jiang Chengdong panting, Jiang Lin handed him a glass of water.

"Grumble rumble..."

After drinking the water, Jiang Lin asked, "Brother Dong, how are you doing? How many lands did you take for me?"

Land has been the root of the Chinese people since ancient times, and they like pieces of land in their bones. In later generations, many rich people, although they have no shortage of houses and land, still can't help but keep buying, buying, purchase.

Although Jiang Lin didn't have such serious hobbies, in this era, people who own land still have a more sense of belonging. What's more, Jiang Lin didn't buy the land for himself, but for Jiang's family.

During the period of the Republic of China, nearly 70.00% of the land was occupied by big landlords who accounted for only [-]% of the total population. Almost all ordinary people planted land under the hands of the landlords, barely getting enough food and clothing.

If one mu of land can grow [-] catties of grain, the landlord will take half or even [-]% of it, and the servants have other things such as personal taxes, errands, miscellaneous taxes, etc., so that farmers who plant all year round, But they can only barely get by, which is why Nanmingjiang's family has such a difficult time, because there are very few independent lands, even if there are many people, they can only keep from being bullied by outsiders.

What Jiang Lin has to do now is to let Jiang's family plant his land. Taxes and so on are taxed at three out of ten. No matter one season or two seasons a year, Jiang Lin only collects taxes and grains for one season. , maybe the ordinary Jiang family will be much better off.

"Leader, there are a total of 3 mu of land, and the land in the town is only more than [-] mu, so I bought the rest from the landlords in the county."

"Well, good job." Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Chengdong with satisfaction. His ability was pretty good. Ordinary people would never think of buying land in the county.

"I have brought all the title deeds here, and I will save them for you later."

"Now that the land has been bought, let me give all my land to our Jiang family to cultivate, and tell them that I only collect [-]% of the tax for one season every year, and the rest belongs to the farmers themselves. You can handle this matter Let's see and do it."

"Yes, Brother Lin, I will definitely take care of it for you." Jiang Chengdong was instantly overjoyed at Jiang Lin's words, which brought great hope to all the Jiang family, but he calmed down quickly, and he couldn't do it in front of his cousin. faux pas.

Although he was anxious to deal with this matter right away, he still said tactfully: "Brother Lin, you see that you don't have anyone to serve you here, so how about it, I'll look in the clan to see if there is any suitable one with flexible hands and feet." Clansmen, arrange them to serve you."

When Jiang Lin heard this, he thought about it carefully. The courtyard of Nuo University is indeed a bit empty, and many things are inconvenient in this era. If he has to worry about these small things one by one, it is not worth it. When.

"That's fine, Brother Dong, you can look at the arrangements, but I have one, I have to ask for people from distant families, and I don't want people from close families."

Jiang Chengdong was stunned for a moment, he thought Jiang Lin would mention a younger and prettier girl, but he didn't expect it to be this one.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I will do what you ask."

It's not that Jiang Lin doesn't want to use people from close clans, but most of these people have absolute relatives with him, and even have relationships with people around him.

If one is not good, it is easy to cause an incident of fire in the inner courtyard, and it must be eliminated from the source. As for using people from other races, Jiang Lin will not be able to. What a loyal person you are, but if others give you enough money, it may be useless to be loyal at this time.

The tribe is different. First of all, Jiang Lin will be the patriarch immediately and has absolute control over all the patriarchs with the surname Jiang. If someone in the Jiang family dares to betray Jiang Lin, he and his family will probably not be able to live. Even life is worse than death. If he is expelled from the Jiang family, it would be even more embarrassing to his ancestors. Therefore, Jiang Lin will have more trust in the Jiang family.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Today, it was time for Jiang Lin to officially take over as the clan leader. In the past few days, Jiang Lin went around to check the current situation of all the Jiang family members in the town. He was quite satisfied. Everyone was renting his land instead. After that, Jiang Lin obviously felt a little more relaxed, and Jiang Lin also gave each family a piece of ocean, making every family want to kowtow to him after seeing him.

Jiang Lin is happy. He can help his family. This kind of thing is really happy.

Regarding Jiang Lin's succession as the patriarch, the clan members were elated, and they all wished that Jiang Lin would become the patriarch immediately. In their hearts, Jiang Lin was already better than the patriarch.

Soon, all the clansmen came to the gate of the ancestral hall, each and everyone looked forward to it, waiting for the arrival of the patriarch, patriarch, and Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin arrived one step earlier than the patriarch. Seeing that the patriarch was still wearing the satin vest, he suddenly thought, he had already asked Xiao San'er before, the patriarch's satin vest was better in the clan the year before, and the elders asked to go It was custom-made, and the patriarch reluctantly agreed to it because he said he couldn't live without a decent dress. Otherwise, even the patriarch wouldn't be able to wear such good clothes.

Looking at the sackcloth worn by the clan elders, Jiang Lin knew that it was time to do some welfare for them.

After all, clan elders are different from ordinary clansmen. As clan elders, they still have a great say in the clan. All the young people who dare to act wild in front of the clan elders are simply kittens.

The resignation and succession ceremony was relatively simple. The patriarch said loudly at the entrance of the ancestral hall: "Today, I, Jiang Yuehai, the patriarch of the Jiang family, officially resigned. I will hand over the next patriarch to Jiang Lin, the son of Jiang Yuechuan. , do you have any opinions?"

The eyes of each tribe were on Jiang Lin, but they replied loudly without any hesitation: "Patriarch, we have no objection, Brother Lin is the benefactor of our Jiang family."

"Yes, Patriarch. How can we have any objections when Jiang Lin takes over as Patriarch? If we have any objections, wouldn't it be that our conscience is being eaten by dogs?"

The tribesmen burst into laughter, but when they thought that this was the entrance to the ancestral hall, they quickly shut up.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, the patriarch nodded, and looked at Jiang Chengdong next to him with some regret: "Chengdong, do you have any objections?"

Jiang Chengdong was the only one who could be the patriarch of the Jiang family, but Jiang Chengdong had long bowed in front of Jiang Lin, so how could he have any opinion?

"Since there is no objection, I declare that from today onwards, the head of the Jiang family will be Jiang Lin!"

"Papapa!!!" The applause continued one after another, and the applause was one after another.

The country gentry and Zhenjiang Wangyuan who came to watch the ceremony frowned. They didn't expect Jiang Lin to be so popular, and they also thought about the Jiang family's actions in recent months, all brought by Jiang Lin.

"It seems that the rise of the Jiang family is unstoppable."

"Yes, yes, I think this Jiang Lin is one of those dragons and phoenixes, and he will become a great weapon. It is better for us not to confront the Jiang family."

All the squires nodded. They didn't want to go against someone like Jiang Lin.
