Chapter 72: Huainan Aristocratic Family
Chapter 72: The Ten Great Families of Huainan
Since the words were handed to him, Patriarch Fu would naturally not let it go and hurriedly said:
"We, the Fu family in Qingniu Town, have several hundred acres of paddy fields, including thirty acres of clan land. Shaoping, can you please put the clan land under your name?"
The output from clan land has always been deposited into the public account of the Fu clan.
One is used to help the poor families in the tribe.
Second, it can be used as reserve grain to prepare for years of disaster.
Fifty years ago.
The Fu family also had a scholar, and the crops were tax-exempt under his name, so they could be put to good use. But with the death of the old scholar, after paying the labor and taxes on the 30 acres of paddy fields, there was not much left. It was not even enough to help the needy, so how could the family have any surplus grain?
"OK, no problem!"
Fu Shaoping was quite straightforward.
When he was in the most difficult time, he lived on relief food from the tribe.
and.
As for him now.
If I could refine a few more batches of Blood Qi Powder, it would be enough to match the output of these thirty acres of paddy fields.
Clan leader Fu originally thought that Fu Shaoping would make some excuses or ask for benefits. After all, Fu Shaoping had not interacted much with the clan in recent years. But he did not expect that the other party was so young but so straightforward.
His eyes immediately turned red.
Before he was buried, he was glad to see the Fu family produce another talented person. When he went to the underworld and saw his ancestors, he would have an explanation.
Fu Shaoping paused.
Continued:
"Chief, I still have a share of 40 acres of paddy fields under my name. Anyone who wants to register it under my name can do so. I don't collect taxes. I will just pay it to the clan's public account according to the unified amount submitted to the court."
"When the time comes, I will try to invite an old martial arts master to come and teach the younger generation of the clan martial arts. If there is anyone who can become talented, I will recommend him to the Zhenwu Division. As for the martial arts master, all expenses will be paid from the public account."
"Patriarch, what do you think?"
Fu Shaoping also wanted to train a group of people he could trust.
Especially if he wants to go further in the future, it is even more indispensable.
Upon hearing this, the old patriarch Fu's lips trembled several times, and finally he bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall and said excitedly: "Ancestors have shown their power, and our Fu family has produced a good son!"
Immediately.
Fu Shaoping then asked the old clan leader Fu to gather all the clan elders together.
The details of the clan land and the future output distribution system were discussed and posted at the entrance of the ancestral hall and read out to the clan members. For a time, the entire Fu family was encouraged, and the young men in the families were like chicken blood, and they automatically joined the ranks of building the martial arts field.
The Fu family is thriving.
This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
After Fu Shaoping finished discussing the matter, he revealed the purpose of this trip:
"patriarch"
"Now, in addition to our Fujia Village, the treatment of the twenty nearby villages is under my name. On weekdays, you can ask the wives in the clan to go home and walk around more often. If you find any criminal cases, notify me immediately."
He will mobilize all his strength to take on more cases.
after all.
If it was just an ordinary person committing a crime, it would be easy for him, a warrior at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, to catch him.
Patriarch Fu nodded immediately and said:
"Okay, Shao Ping, if you need any help, just ask. Nearly 10,000 people in our Fu family will obey your command."
Although they are members of the tribe.
But there must be give and take, so that the bond between each other can be long-lasting and strong.
Fu Shaoping also mentioned that he was going to get married on the 15th of this month.
Patriarch Fu hesitated to speak.
For Zhou Paner, who had no basis for the marriage, this was not a good marriage at all. However, with the lessons of the past still fresh in his mind, the old patriarch Fu did not dare to raise any objections.
I can only nod in agreement.
Finally, Fu Shaoping said:
"Clan leader, I grew up in this town and rarely heard my father mention anything about our Fu family. I wonder which ancestor was the one who migrated to Qingniu Town?"
Speaking of which.
Patriarch Fu’s back immediately straightened.
Buzzing sound:
"Shao Ping, even though our family is living in poverty now, we are still one of the ten most famous families in Huainan."
Quzhou is bounded by the Huai River.
Under the jurisdiction of Quzhou were Nanyang Prefecture, Kaitian Prefecture and Huainan Prefecture.
Nanyang Prefecture is the fief of Princess Changping and the central hub of Quzhou.
Kaitian Prefecture and Huainan Prefecture are two prefectures located north and south of the Huai River. The Fu family, one of the top ten families under Huainan Prefecture, is the direct descendant of the Fu family in Qingniu Town!
"Although our Qingniu Town lineage is a branch of the Thirteenth House, the ancestor who migrated to Qingniu Town was said to be a third-rank official in the dynasty. But why did he finally live in seclusion in Qingniu Town? There is no record of him in the family tree, or maybe it was erased. After all, it happened hundreds of years ago."
"The Dawu Dynasty had only been established for less than a hundred years at that time."
Fu Shaoping was truly shocked.
Never thought.
Of course, their lineage was once so glorious.
and.
It is also a branch of the Fu family, one of the top ten families in Huainan.
No wonder both his father and he have talent in martial arts. So that's why.
If so.
Then when he gives birth to a child, as the second fate says, he will be blessed by his ancestors. Does that mean it is the blessing of the ancestor who migrated to Qingniu Town?
Fu Shaoping couldn't help but look forward to it.
After having dinner at the clan leader's place and picking up a dozen rice fish, he drove the carriage back to Qingniu Town.
Two days passed.
It’s finally time to select the Zhenwu Guards.
Fu Shaoping got up early, ate a bowl of tofu pudding, and then rushed to the Hundred Households Office. When he arrived at the Personnel Hall, he found that the Hundred Households Office was already overcrowded.
It is a rare opportunity for a hundred households to add new members.
Naturally, the captains in the station would not miss it.
The only one who didn't come was the female Zhenwuwei Wuming.
After Fu Shaoping arrived.
The other captains glanced at him warily.
After all, Fu Shaoping has been too popular recently. I am afraid that when new people arrive, they will most likely be attracted by his fame.
among them.
Especially Captain Li, who had previously refused to assist Fu Shaoping in the spring hunt.
The little brat whom he looked down upon in the past, has now transformed himself and is not only on an equal footing with him, but is also slightly superior to him, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Captain Liu smiling and walking up to greet Fu Shaoping, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Even if Fu Shaoping became a captain, could he be promoted to a small flag faster than himself? He didn't believe that the other party had this ability. After all, to be promoted to a small flag, one must have real eighth-level merit.
There will be no more automatic promotion like last time in the Spring Hunting Competition.
Captain Liu pulled Fu Shaoping aside and whispered:
"I heard that among this batch of regular Zhenwu Guards, there is a young man from an aristocratic family who came down from above to gain experience. Shaoping, you are of the same age as him. If you can recruit him and take good care of him, he can ask his family to help you with your promotion to a minor flag. You must seize this great opportunity."
Captain Liu's merit points have been collected.
He was just waiting for his relative Liu Xiaoqi to be promoted to another place and for him to take over the position in the Earth Fire Palace. Therefore, there was no conflict of interest between him and Fu Shaoping and he was happy to do a favor for the other party.
