    Because of this, when they heard Qiao Mu saying that he was willing to give each of them a yard, they all became a little silent and stopped trying to persuade him.

    Wen Qi even wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Xiao next to him knew very well that the old lady had already made up her mind, so she quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Don't try to persuade her again.

    My mother told me about this matter half a month ago, and there should be no change.  "

    The original person¡¯s one-and-done temperament is actually quite popular among people. When Wen Qilian heard what his wife said, he immediately understood that this matter was obviously not a whim of his mother, but had been thinking about it for a long time and only told them today.

    Naturally, I stopped talking to dissuade him.

    "Don't be busy these days. Once the accounts are settled by Butler Min, I will ask you to come over and separate the families. So during this period of time, you should stop running around and stay at home, so as not to look for me later."  When you are no longer here.

    Just go back first. There is still busy here for a while. Huiwen, you stay, help the housekeeper of Min to give up the account. I recently taught a new way of bookkeeping Min Hutch. You follow them together.  "

    Qiao Mu looked at the vague longing looks on those sons and a dozen daughter-in-laws, and immediately knew that the separation of the family was the right move. Obviously, most people were willing to do this, as long as she turned around and officially separated the family.  Don't be too harsh when talking to others. If you follow the rules, they won't hold any grudges and won't make trouble when they look back.

    Although the dozen bastard wives who heard Qiao Mu's words were a little envious of Xiao, they still bowed and left Wenxi Hall one by one.

    Wen Qilian and the others also left in the same way.

    Next, Qiao Mu took a group of maids to experiment with the new method of fragrant rice. Her eldest daughter-in-law followed Butler Min to sort out the things that were found, and put all the things that were found into accounts and sorted them out.  , and by the way, learn the new accounting method proposed by Qiao Mu.

    Because there were indeed a lot of things, and Xiao had to learn and memorize them at the same time, it took him three full days to finally sort out and account for all the things.

    After that, it¡¯s time to separate the family.

    A few days ago, when Qiao Mu talked about the separation of the family in Wenxi Hall, although a few concubines were not there, all the concubines and their daughters-in-law were present. It was obviously impossible for those concubines and daughters-in-law to hide such a big thing from their husbands, so three days later  , when the servants came to inform them to go to Wenxi Hall, everyone didn't think there was anything strange. They even had some vague longing and expectation in their hearts. They were looking forward to how much things they could get from the separation?

    Qiao Mu saw that his seventeen nominal sons, as well as the patriarch of the Wen family and several elders had arrived, then he picked up the account book and said:

    "Sincerely, I invite you to come here for the purpose of dividing the family. I would like to ask you to help me bear witness.

    According to the custom, the eldest son can get 70% of the family property, and the other legitimate sons and remaining concubines will share 30%. Now there are no other legitimate sons in this family except Qilian, so the family property will be divided between the sixteen of you and 30%. Do you have any objection to this?  "

    "That's how it should be!"

    The head of the Wen family first stated that the division of the concubine's property is actually very maneuverable. In theory, even if it is divided 10%, it is not illegal, because the laws in this area are already quite loose. Even if it is not divided, then at most  If someone says a few harsh words, it's not illegal anyway. Thirty percent is just a normal rule of thumb.

    "Mother, we have no objection!"

    The sixteen concubines who were listening naturally expressed that they had no objections. Thirty percent of the family property was already the largest share that a family with legitimate children could give to other children. For this alone, outsiders would say that their mother was  Be generous and compassionate, and treat the bastard well. If they object again, what will they say?

    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t have any opinion.

    There is still a total of 260,000 yuan in silver at home. You should know exactly where it comes from. You should also know what the public treasury of the family used to be like. So I will give you a complete summary.  Five thousand taels of silver per person. In addition, each of you will be given a village of ten hectares, two villages of five hectares, a shop and a courtyard with two entrances to the capital. Jewelry, antiques and some other items will also be valued.  I have given some to each of you, and you will draw lots when the time comes.

    The rest will be inherited by the eldest son!  "

    At this time, Qiao Mu actually gave them more than 30%. However, based on the 30% calculation, each of them should be given more than 4,800 taels. If this was calculated to a real number, it would seem a bit fussy, so he simply gave them a sum.  The same goes for fields and yards and shops.

    Anyway, she is not short of making moneyThere is no need to haggle over the means with these bastards. When good things like soaps and colored glazes are made later, there will be plenty of income, so there is no need to worry.

    "Thank you, mother, for being so generous!"

    They actually knew how poor the family was in the past. They were even aware of the fact that Mrs. Xiao had been pawning her dowry to fill the gap, but they just never mentioned it. At this time, they only needed to do a little calculation to figure it out.  In fact, they still make money. If it is really divided according to 30%, they will not be able to get these things at all.

    So, how can you object to rejection?

    People know that they are satisfied, but it would be bad if they were not satisfied and angered their aunt.

    "Since there is no objection, let's sign the documents for the division of the family. Butler Min, give them all the things that should be distributed to them. Give them the lots too, and go back and catch them from the warehouse.  Give them something.

    I¡¯ll give you half a month to prepare after the separation. Send someone to tidy up your newly divided yard. Once it¡¯s done, move in. It will also give you some time to hold a moving party.  "

    As Qiao Mu spoke, he motioned to the maids nearby to give a gift to each of the clan leaders and clan elders who came this time. Not only was he bothering them to come here, but he also wanted them to go back and compile the family tree as soon as possible.  Write separately.

    After signing the family separation document, it is not considered a real family separation. Even if you go to the government office to transfer the family name, it does not count. The family tree must be written completely separately by the clan leader. Only then can it be considered a real family separation. This  This is the characteristic of clan society. Sometimes the power of the clan overrides the imperial power.

    " Qiao Mu has no intention of making big moves to change society, so naturally he has to follow the rules, manage what should be done, and abide by what should be observed.

    The dozen or so bastards below each took the family division documents and read them carefully. After finding that there were no problems, they quickly signed and pledged their names. Then came the drawing of lots and the official division of the family property. For a while, the scene seemed a bit harmonious.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
