Chapter 346 Clan 8
Wang Wenbin seemed to be recalling and saying:
It has been two years since this happened. In the autumn of that year...
The chief steward of the Wang family farm in Nanjun Prefecture, his surname seems to be Jia. When Jia Liang was young, he was saved by the elders of the master's family. He has been managing three farms for more than 20 years, and the Wang family has always trusted him.
The year before last, when a girl was getting married in Nanjun, she was asked to bring two farms as her dowry. This young lady wanted to pick a better farm and take a look along the way, so she took people to look at all the farms at home.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the village managed by Jia Liang. They got off the car to rest and wanted to go into the village to find someone to inquire about something. They witnessed a fight at the entrance of the village.
"Manager Chen, many people saw my sister being kidnapped by your son. I have been working diligently for the Wang family and paying rent on time. We have done nothing wrong. You can't just kidnap someone!"
The young man who was speaking was wearing shorts, with one side of his pants higher than the other, his calves were covered in mud, and he questioned Jia Liang with a red face and thick neck.
Before Miss Wang could figure out what had happened, she saw a group of people around the manager rush over, pin down the young man who was blocking the road and beat him up.
Jia Liang, who had a bloated belly from eating so much, even shouted:
"Nonsense! To slander the Wang family is to go against the Wang family. I think you don't want to live anymore. Beat you to death and see who dares to violate the Wang family rules!"
The young man who was beaten hid with his head in his hands, and said, "They say the Wang family is kind-hearted. I don't believe that the Wang family kidnapped my sister. I want to go to the capital to find the master..."
When Manager Jia heard this, he jumped up and shouted, "If you rebel, beat them to death!"
The young man shouted desperately, "Unless you beat me to death today, I will crawl to Wang's house and let them know how his guard dog treats tenants."
Jia Liang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he roared: "You dare to disrespect the Wang family? Beat him, beat him to death, it's my fault, beat him to death!"
"Who do you want to kill?" Miss Wang couldn't stand it anymore and pushed through the crowd to ask.
"It's yours? Your life depends on my Wang family, can you still take the lives of others?"
Jia Liang saw a lady with an elegant appearance standing in front of him, accompanied by servants and maids.
The little eyes turned and asked hesitantly: "Who are you?!"
His attitude affected his servants, and they stopped. When the young man who was beaten saw that it was a foreign lady, he hurriedly pushed away the people surrounding him and fell to the lady's legs to ask for help:
"Miss, please save my little sister!"
"Is your sister really kidnapped by his son?"
"Yes, young lady, my sister was with other sisters in the village when she was picking grass for pigs. Someone saw my sister being kidnapped by the eldest son of Manager Jia!"
Miss Wang led her servants and ran straight to Manager Jia's courtyard. When they arrived at the door, she sighed in her heart, "What a wealthy servant!"
There are two levels of steps in front of the gate, with five steps on each level. The width of the gate exceeds the regulations. The courtyard is extremely prosperous with carved beams and painted buildings. Entering the main hall is even more shocking. The furnishings in the room are either gold or silver, giving a full sense of luxury.
The young lady sent people and the young man to search the yard. In a side yard, they caught a chubby and white man in his thirties raping a young girl. He had taken off all his clothes except his underwear.
The woman struggled desperately, and even when she was pressed down, she struggled hard. Her hair was disheveled and her face could not be seen. Her clothes were torn.
Miss Wang rescued the man and brought him back to the mansion. The head of the Nanjun family did not deal with Manager Jia for a while, so he colluded with bandits to rob the Wang family mansion at night and killed the young man...
"Cousin, what happened next?!" Wang Wenjie asked Wang Wenbin.
"Later, the Wang family of Nanjun asked the clan for help, and the clan leader personally went to investigate the matter! It was just as my cousin said, the accounts and the annual festival tributes were completely consistent, but in fact, the steward and the accountant were in collusion.
He embezzled money, pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, robbed men and women under the banner of the Wang family, and did all kinds of evil things, and even colluded with bandits and government officials,..."
"It must have been very tricky at that time!" Wang Jinyi asked sympathetically.
"Yeah!" Wang Wenbin nodded deeply and didn't elaborate.
Wang Jinyi wanted to break the silence, but her brother Wang Wendong said, "It seems that foreign affairs management is something you really need to learn."
Wang Wenbin continued, "My cousin is right. First of all, we need to make sure that what is reported is true. This is the most important thing. Then what?"
"Then it's easy. We just follow the mass line! We just go deep into the grassroots and live there, investigate, and be on guard against any network of forces we find there..."
Ah! I've said too much again. Aren't we talking about year-on-year growth? Why did you follow the South County incident?
Thinking that the time was almost up, Wang Jinyi stood up and said, "Let's stop here today. We'll continue talking about other things tomorrow."
Today, the cousins were not in a hurry to leave. Perhaps they were shocked by the story of the Nanjun Wang’s family being robbed by bandits.
Wang Wenjie, Wang Wenshu and Wang Wentao all surrounded their cousin, and seemed to have something to ask today, but Wang Jingyi said calmly that external management was related to the honor and well-being of a family, and you were all the men who would be the future heads of the Wang family in Beining.
The more carefully you learn to manage external affairs, the more ways you will have to avoid problems in the future, so that outsiders can use servants to deceive others. This will also prevent the Nanjun Wang family from happening again.
This time, the young men took the words to heart and nodded as they looked at their cousin and Wang Wenbin, the legitimate son of the family, as if they had a lot to say.
In the following daily study management, the cousins all became serious, even the elder brother Wang Wendong studied diligently for three days. Finally, the day came for the brothers and sisters to part.
Wang Jinyi was feeling a little depressed, but her mother refused to let her daughter go out to see Wang Wendong off. It was not until Wang Jinyi saw her brother getting on the carriage alone that Wang Jinyi's face was covered with snot and tears, and she almost burst into tears. Her mother surrendered, and quickly dispatched the carriage she had brought, and she and her daughter got on the carriage to send her son out of the city.
This made the servants very busy, and the number of King Beining's family members who originally came to see him off increased now.
After they walked out of the city gate, the mother and daughter watched Wang Wendong standing on the shaft of the cart, waving his hands as he walked further and further away. Their eyes were red.
The mother and daughter returned to the city in silence. The gates of Bac Ninh looked so listless today...
A banquet was held in the village, and Chen Sanlang, who returned to the county town, felt happy about everything he saw. Even the dilapidated city gate of Xunnan County looked much more lively.
The villagers decided that the 20 mu of tax-free land under Chen Sanlang's name, minus Chen Sanlang's only one mu of top-quality land and three mu of mountain land, would be registered with the clan.
The tax on the eight acres of clan land is also paid from the twenty acres of tax-free land. The remaining eight acres is decided by the clan. Every year, Chen Yimu's family receives half of the government tax revenue, which is considered mutual assistance among the clan members.
As a result, Chen Sanlang's family was finally able to have enough food to eat.
Today, Chen Sanlang went to the county government with the village chief to implement tax-free land, and then asked the village chief to help bring some food back home so that his family could have some solid meals.
