Volume 1 Chapter 5 Taking advantage of money
Mr. Yan is famously rigid and is even more terrifying to the students. He rashly went up and asked him who Mr. Chen was, and he tried to ask him to help deal with the Chen surname. Is it appropriate?
Of course it is not suitable, and people may not pay attention to you at all, and even give you two plans!
However, Yang Cong was not afraid at all because he knew that Mr. Yan had a fatal weakness, that is, his lack of money.
In fact, it is not a secret that Mr. Yan’s background and background are in the county school. Everyone knows that he is an old juren who failed the exams and is quite short of money.
He was born in a poor family and had no money at all. After being admitted to the juren, he had to maintain his face as a juren and support his family. He lived a very difficult life, otherwise he would not have come to be a teaching teacher in the county school.
It seemed that as long as you pass the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, your life was not about being rich and noble, but the level of a wealthy family should be able to achieve it, because there were regulations since the Hongwu Dynasty that each imperial examination had a tax exemption amount of 400 acres of land under the name of each imperial examination.
So, why did this Mr. Yan live in financial difficulties?
The reason is very simple, because this guy doesn't make money.
Although this guy's surname is Yan, he is not as greedy as Yan Song of his own family. He is the opposite of Yan Song. He is the kind of person who is the one who is the least able to make money.
Take the tax exemption quota as an example. If the tax exemption quota is officially exempted from the 20-tax tax. Calculated by the annual output of two stones per acre of land, 400 acres of land can earn 40 stones of grain in a year, which is twenty taels of silver. This little money is indeed a bit less for a juren who needs to decorate his store.
However, this tax exemption amount can actually be understood in other ways, because the court basically won’t care if this land is exempted from tax. Then, the tricks are huge. You can rent these land to tenant farmers and draw one stone of tenant rent per mu every year.
In this way, the profit will be huge. You can collect 200 taels of tenant rent in 400 acres of land in a year!
It has been more than a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty established itself, and many things have deteriorated to this point. Many Jinshi, Juren, and even scholars have become this form. Therefore, ordinary Juren can reach the level of a wealthy family, but there are exceptions.
Because there is a prerequisite for doing this, the premise is that these lands must be bought with money and become privately owned by oneself. Otherwise, they will not be able to rent them to tenant farmers and withdraw the tenant rent.
At this moment, the land is at least 20 taels per mu, and 400 taels per mu is only tens of thousands of taels. Of course, ordinary scholars cannot afford so much land. So what should I do?
At this time, it depends on your ability. You can marry a rich wife, you can borrow money from someone, and find ways to find a position to make money. In short, get the money together and buy the land, and you can live a rich life.
If you can't think of a solution, you can only hand over the tax exemption amount under your name to others to contribute. In this way, you won't receive much money in a year, and at most it won't exceed twenty taels, because if it exceeds twenty taels, it's better to pay taxes to the court directly. Why don't you give it to you?
Mr. Yan is the kind of person who has not come up with a solution, so he is very short of money. In order to maintain the appearance of the juren and to support the family, he has to come out to teach.
Yang Cong was poor in his previous life. He knew the pain of having no money. Sometimes a penny could really stump the hero. Mr. Yan was so poor and he was so rich now. It was not difficult to ask him a question, and it was not even difficult to make friends with him.
However, he found that his "self" had never made friends with Mr. Yan at all. It turned out that Yang Cong was a typical spendthrift. He knew that he had spent all his time with a few rich children and had never done anything serious.
Is it useful to make some friends with wine and meat like this?
If someone is richer than him, will he still follow him?
It is precisely because they don’t have money that they follow him. They curry favor with him because they want to get benefits from him.
He was so stupid that he was living a very happy day.
This has created the current situation. He has nothing except money. Moreover, the money is given by his parents and his grandfather. He has to rely on his family for everything he does. He will not use his wealth to create a good development environment for himself.
Of course, this is a common problem for most young people, because most of the age group are in the brainless stage. This brainlessness does not mean that people don’t have brains, but mainly because they don’t think about things after they have brains and everything follows their feelings.
This is not good. Yang Cong, who has already passed the brainless period, will naturally no longer be brainless. Moreover, this situation does not allow him to continue brainlessly.
The original Yang Cong couldn't spend money even if he had money, but he was different. He knew a lot about the magical use of money, for example, money can be used to borrow power.
Mr. Yan is so short of money that he can borrow his power by spending some money, and even borrow the power of the county magistrate through him. Of course, he will spend more money like that.
However, in this situation, money is not a problem for him. Nothing except money is the biggest problem.
He sat there and pondered for a long time. It was finally noon. Mr. Yan put the book together and then said loudly: "get out of class is over."
With a "wow", the students who had been holding back all morning stood up and hurriedly packed up their books and walked out.
At this time, several rich children on the side also asked in a low voice while collecting books: "Brother Cong, is it still Furuilou to go there to eat today?"
Yang Cong shook his head and said, "You guys go, I have something to do with Mr. Yan."
The rich children looked at Mr. Yan who was slowly packing up his books. They shrank their necks and then ran out as if they ran away.
Looking for Mr. Yan, in their opinion, that is no different from seeking death!
Yang Cong was also a little scared at this moment. The previous memories still had some impact on him. It turned out that he was really afraid of Mr. Yan.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and then slowly stood up and walked towards Mr. Yan.
At this time, the students in the school had almost gone, and Mr. Yan had already cleaned up. He was about to get up to eat at the cafeteria, but Yang Cong suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sir, please stay."
Mr. Yan looked at him for no reason, then said a little impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Obviously, this guy is also a bit aggrieved by the rich, but he is a little more mature than those young and has not been revealed too clearly.
Yang Cong came to him and bowed slowly, "The students have something to ask about. I wonder if the teacher can give me a favor and accompany the students to have a meal?"
You "rich man", I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, Mr. Yan directly refused: "I don't have time!"
After saying that, he waited to get up and leave.
When Yang Cong saw that there were only two of them left in the school, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Sir, the student will not ask for advice in vain. As long as the teacher is willing to go, fifty taels of silver will be presented."
Mr. Yan rolled his eyes directly at him, and the meaning was as if he was saying, "You are so rich?"
However, he was not angry.
His eyes rolled like a little girl who was taken advantage of by a lover for the first time, with a hurried look, a hurried look, a hurried look, and a hurried look.
Fifty taels, more than what he earns a year of teaching. He was really hesitant and just had a meal with a student. It was not a shame. Should he go or not?
When Yang Cong saw his expression, he knew it.
Is it great to have money?
I will answer you now, and he slowly said: "One hundred taels."
Mr. Yan finally stood up like a constipation. His expression seemed a little helpless, a little angry, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement hidden inside.
