Chapter 50: break up
Chapter 50 Separation
(Happy New Year to everyone!)
Afternoon.
Qinren Square, Qi State Duke's Mansion.
The Taibai star in the sky has disappeared, and only the sun is left with scorching heat.
In the hall, the servants put several basins of ice cubes to cool off the heat, but Qin Qiong's anger was still high.
The Cui family persuaded in a low voice, "Although our Qin family in Qinrenfang is not the top family in the world, it is also a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it can be regarded as a prestige in the county. Now our family is also the founder of the country, the top general. Sanlang At such a young age, he is already the Duke of the state, and the headmaster, An County Magistrate, will definitely be a handsome man in the future. It is normal not to want Princess Shang to be wronged. Besides, becoming a princess will have some impact on his official career. Saburo can have Better choice."
"What choice?"
"For example, if you choose a woman with five surnames, our Qin family is a military meritorious relative, but now that the world is unified, we will definitely stop fighting and cultivate literature in the future. If the Qin family wants to prosper in the long run, we must not only rely on being a general to lead the army, but also have to learn literature. Only in this way will there be more development in the court. It is even better to marry a woman with five surnames."
Cui’s words revealed the foresight and insight of this famous daughter-in-law. It is true that generals should prosper in chaotic times, but if the world is unified, the gentry must have a better future.
Those first-class gentry families in the world have survived for thousands of years. How many of them rely on martial arts? Not all rely on the text. The marriage of five surnames and seven clans happened to be a transfer to the general Qin's family.
In other words, let the Qin family return to the scholastic community. After all, the ancestors of the Qin family in Licheng have been inherited by the gentry for hundreds of years since they served as prefects in the Han Dynasty.
Qin Qiong looked at his son, tall and heroic, who was already as tall as him, "Sanlang practiced martial arts at a young age. In terms of riding and shooting skills, he is not much worse than me. He just lacks battle experience. Wen, but he doesn't have this talent. Our Qin family used to be a noble family for hundreds of years, but when I started to abandon literature and fight for military achievements..."
While talking, Qin Qiong couldn't continue, "Sanlang, in fact, Aye has no qualifications to teach you. I didn't have time to teach you when you were young, and I almost killed you when you were young. Now your title and official position all depend on you I fought for it myself, and even my current promotion is all due to you."
"I just want to say that you are still young, and some things are too easy to think about. Now this time is no better than last time. The prince is not so easy to refuse. I have met Princess Danyang. She is very nice, courteous, sensible, and beautiful. Generous."
"Aye..." Qin Lang wanted to agree to the marriage. Originally, it was unreasonable to refuse the marriage because he thought it would be impossible. Qin Lang didn't want to let himself and the Qin family marry each other. It's uncomfortable to be caught in it, and I don't want to be envied and hated by others. In addition, I have some preconceived impressions of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so I refused to marry in court.
"Forget it, don't say it, you should think about it carefully. If you really don't want to be the princess, then Aye will go and refuse marriage to His Majesty."
Qin Qiong gritted his teeth. Although before he came back, he thought about whipping this bastard, even if he beat him until he was willing, but now he suddenly couldn't harden his heart. If it doesn't work, Qin Qiong intends to resign from his post on the grounds of injury, so that he will no longer command the army and hold power, even if Qin Lang is not the princess and prince, he will always feel at ease.
He always felt that he owed him, and he was not qualified to force him like this.
"Sanlang, whether you are still a princess, I want you to move back." Qin Qiong said.
Cui Shi also said, "Sanlang, you haven't gotten married yet, and your brothers are still young, so you moved out if there was no need, so you can move back."
"Aye, since I have gone out and set up a new family, there is no reason to move back. In fact, even if I separate, I am still your son, and I will often come to the house." Qin Lang thought for a while Still refused.
How chic and comfortable living alone outside.
Qin Qiong lowered her head.
It took a long time before he said, "Since this is the case, then I won't force you. You are also a dignified prince now, and there is nothing wrong with going out and setting up another family. Let's do it, then separate."
"Separation?"
Qin Lang really didn't think about this.
"Before you moved out in a hurry without bringing anything, now I will officially separate the family for you." Qin Qiong thought for a while, "I have fought for the court these years and won a lot of rewards. In addition, the official salary is quite generous, and I have accumulated some land. Zhai Qianjuan, your eldest brother and second brother left early, you are now the eldest son of the family, go out to build a new family, I will divide half of your family property, and I will ask you Uncle Cheng Niu to come over tomorrow to be a witness and divide it clearly. "
Qin Qiong was very kind to this son. A son of a concubine, he gave half of the property directly after the division of the family.
Cui frowned while listening.
There is no such separation.
Normally, for a big family like this, the family business is of course inherited by the eldest son, and the fields and houses must belong to the eldest son, and some money and silk will be distributed to other sons, but for those sons born to concubines and maidservants, it’s fine to just send them away ok.
It is impossible for the sons to divide equally, let alone the principle that if there are many brothers, half of the sons of the concubines will be divided first. If the family is divided in this way, no matter how big the clan is, it will be divided within a few generations.
"A Lang." Cui gently tugged on Qin Qiong's sleeve.
Qin Qiong glanced at his wife, but rarely obeyed his wife, "San Lang is not easy, besides, he is still young, so give him half. As for Shiro, Wulang, Liulang and the others, they will not lose money in the future. I am still young." , and will also start a family business in the future.”
Cui said a little annoyed, "I've never heard of the principle of dividing the eldest son into half, not to mention, Alang, you are still alive, how can you divide the family business?"
"I've already decided on this matter. I will give half of it to Saburo. As for my property in the future, after a hundred years, Goro will share half, and the rest of the **** will share the other half equally." Qin Qiong said without doubt.
In his opinion, the few young sons in the mansion are well-clothed and well-fed, and Qin Lang has suffered a lot before, not to mention the pain of losing his mother at a young age and fleeing thousands of miles. tragedy.
Since Cui married into the Qin family, Qin Qiong treated her very well, but today's attitude made her shed tears.
"Aye, I have already gone out to set up another family. Now there is a house in Yonganfang, which is very good. I don't want the property here in Qinrenfang. I should leave it to my younger brothers. I have grown up and can buy it myself. industry."
Qin Qiong is quite rich.
When I married the Cui family before, I spent millions of dollars to lose the family fortune, and I also paid a lot of gifts, but Qin Qiong, as the Duke of Shangzhu, was also the number one general under Li Shimin's command. He made many military exploits and received countless rewards Li Yuan and Li Shimin both rewarded Qin Qiong with countless gold, silver, silk and land. Only the original Yongye land of Duke Yi and Shangzhu State amounted to several thousand mu, and the rent every year was enormous.
Not to mention the land rewarded several times, the Qin family’s land added up to more than 10,000 mu, and the farms they bought were all over the Guanzhong and Guandong, and there were even many Bieye manors in and outside Chang’an City.
If it is in other big families, for such property to divide the family, the house will be bad. For example, the Li Mu family, one of the eight-pillar countries, fought with his nephew in order to fight for the title and property inheritance. In the end, he promised his brother-in-law Yu Wenshu to give him half of the property income every year in exchange for his help in fighting for the title and family Property, and even ordered another nephew to kill the nephew who had the right to inherit.
Qin Qiong's half of the property can be worth five or six thousand acres of land, several mansions and other properties, and gold, silver, silk and silk can be converted into tens of thousands of pennies, but he still directly refused.
"Aye can earn this million-guan family fortune, so can I." Qin Lang said with a smile.
Even Cui was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Sanlang is serious?"
"If A Niang doesn't believe it, I can write a statement to you."
Cui waved, "Bring a pen and paper."
Qin Qiong glared at Cui Shi, "Nonsense."
"Aye, it's okay." He took the pen and paper, and wrote a statement on the spot to voluntarily renounce all the property inheritance rights of the Qin family.
Cui took the statement, read it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sanlang, in fact, I just think that what you Aye said has no precedent, and I don't mean that you want to take your share. How about it, our family has 800 acres of land beside the Baiqu in Weibei. The rewards given to you, Aye, are all the most fertile lands. It is also the place where His Majesty placed the Emperor Yuan Cong’s imperial army before. They are all good lands. I give them to you now. In addition, in Zhongnan Mountain, our family also has a warm soup villa, which is also Give it to you together."
"I still have some gold, silver, money and silk at home, so I will give you five hundred taels of gold and eight thousand pieces of silk. What do you think? If you want anything else, just ask."
Cui got the statement, but she became generous again. This woman is smart, and she knows that Qin Lang is already the magistrate of Yi Guogong Shangzhu National Inspection Principal An County Magistrate at a young age. So she didn't give up when it was time to fight for her son's interests, but after the fight, she didn't want to offend Qin Lang.
Eight hundred acres of land, one villa, five hundred taels of gold, and eight thousand bolts of silk. This is certainly a lot of money, but compared to half of the Qin family's property, it is actually much less. It can be regarded as 20% of the Qin family's money.
"Aniang, I said no, I don't want it. I will save it for my younger brothers and buy dowry for my younger sisters in the future."
"Sanlang, you accept what your mother gave you." Qin Qiong no longer insisted on giving half to his son, he knew he wouldn't take it if he insisted, this child is sometimes so stubborn.
"Aye, I'm about to grant land right now. Duke Yi has 4,000 acres of Yongye farmland and Shangzhu Kingdom's Xun farmland has 3,000 acres. Only one piece of land will be awarded according to the highest specification, which can also grant 4,000 mu of permanent land, even if the rent is six dou per mu, it will be 2,400 stones a year."
Qin Lang's title is only a vain title, and no half of his households are actually granted Shiyi, otherwise Shiyi would be a huge income, so in the Tang Dynasty, if he can get the title of Duke, he doesn't have to worry about money at all. .
Qin Qiong reminded his son that the lord's Yongye land does not accumulate, and even the highest prince of the state with 4,000 acres of Yongye land may not be able to grant it. After all, it has been nine years since the founding of the country. Even if it is granted, there must be many lands outside the pass The rent there is not as high as that in Guanzhong and other places.
"Aye, no matter what, I'm the Duke of the state now, and I hold several positions. Are you still worried that I will have no money to live?"
Qin Qiong sighed, yes, now his son Jue Hexun is just like him, only a few levels behind the official.
