There is only one thing that Xiao Chushu needs here, that is, how much silver he pays to the tea farmers every month, and how much silver taels he needs to spend on the tea garden every year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As long as these two things are clear, and these two things only need to be clearly cleared from the mouth of the bear master, then the matter of the bear master's personal greed for money will be confirmed.

Fortunately, when the eldest lady left Beijing, she had already thought about it and made a lot of preparations, and even the temperament of the shopkeeper Tang and the fact that he had a girl who couldn't go out were clarified.

Dealing with such a treacherous person, it is really hard work, if it weren't for the fact that she has been following the eldest lady through the mall in the past year, and seeing her own young lady's calm and eloquent words when she negotiates business with others, she is really worried that she can't complete the matter delivered by Xiao Chuxuan this time. It is not only a loss to his own young lady, but also a loss to the conceit that the bear owner has raised for many years, and the incompetence and mediocrity of the Xiao family's reputation in the past few years, but it is also called this matter smooth.

When things went well, she couldn't help but have a few points in her heart, until the details written by Director Xiong personally handed over to Xiang Zhu, and she spit out the breath that she had been hanging for two days. This thing is what the eldest lady wants, and now she can be regarded as having it, and now she is waiting for the eldest lady to come back and start singing.

The things here in Xiangzhu are going quite smoothly, on the other hand, Xiao Chushu, because of the meaning of the eldest lady, since a few people Qiao Zhuang mixed into the tea field, he has not been in contact with the outside. So what is the situation of my own lady in the tea field, Xiangzhu is also worried here.

I was obviously anxious and worried, but I might as well show my intentions on my face, and I already had the details sent by Master Xiong himself. I said earlier that Kyoto urgently needs this batch of new tea, but now that the new tea and details have arrived, there is still no news from the eldest lady, and Xiangzhu is also in a hurry.

It is absolutely impossible to leave first, so Xiang Zhu can only pretend that he is not comfortable with the water and soil, and temporarily ill on the bed, waiting for the eldest lady to come out and make a decision.

She was originally a woman, and she was tired all the way to Yuanzhou, and it was common sense that she was not very sick because of the water and soil. Therefore, the bear boss didn't say anything in the past few days, but ordered someone to ask Lang Zhong to diagnose Xiangzhu, and ordered the maids in the hospital to serve well, so this matter is like this for the time being.

After a day or two of this pretending, a letter came out of the tea garden, and after learning that the eldest lady and the young master were finally ready to return, Xiang Zhu's heart in his throat gradually fell to the ground. The young lady is happy to come back, and if she stays inside any longer and refuses to come out, she really can't stop it.

After getting the letter from the young lady and knowing that the eldest lady was finally ready to come back, Xiang Zhu called Xiao Shou and Xiao Huan, who had entered the Xiong Mansion with them, to go out with them to greet the young master. The place where we met was the inn where I had settled before, and I was afraid that the young master would leave the tea field and have nowhere to stay for a while, and the guest rooms had been going on for several days, and now they are still empty for the young master.

I got the letter early and waited in the guest room, until I saw the young lady push the door and walk in, and a few people hurriedly greeted him. But after a few days, the young lady and the young master have obviously lost weight, and their faces have been ugly for a long time, which can make Firefly anxious. Hurriedly called Xiao Er to prepare hot water for washing, and after a comfortable cleaning, several people felt alive.

The days in the tea field are really bitter to the extreme, don't say that they take a hot bath happily, and even rest, they can't rest steadily. On such days, if it weren't for the eldest sister's insistence, I am afraid they would not be able to survive for a moment. After a quick wash, he changed into clean clothes, and then returned to the appearance of the young master of the Xiao family.

Chatian's meticulous life in the past few days, the young lady and the young master should be tired, looking at the face that was obviously missing a few taels of meat, Xiang Zhu took advantage of the young master's freshening up and hurriedly instructed Xiao Er to prepare all the signature food in the inn. Cai had just washed up, and looking at the delicious meals that had been properly laid out on the table, Chu Heng Chu Rui's eyes instantly lit up.

For several days in a row, the food in the tea field, the two young masters had long lost hope for life, and now they looked at the delicious food on the table, how could they not feel relieved. didn't care about it at the moment, and even without waiting for Xiao Chusu to nod, the two of them rushed directly to the table like evil wolves, feasting on the five internal organs that had been sin for several days.

Like a wolf, the fourth young master is like this, but the third young master obviously cares most about etiquette, and now he is like a wolf. At the moment, a few people were shocked, and they didn't know what kind of suffering the young master had suffered in the tea field.

can only wait on the side, while persuading the young master to take his time and not to choke, by the way, from time to time to serve tea and water, I am afraid that one will accidentally eat in a hurry and choke himself.

Like a hungry ghost, how could this kind of thing happen to the young master of the Xiao family, he was also in a hurry at the moment, and after handing over a cup of tea, Xiao Shou hurriedly said: "Third young master, eat slowly, be careful of choking." And Xiao Huan on the side was also anxious to say: "Fourth young master, you are also worried, the suckling pig is eaten by the third young master, if you like the small one, let the second brother immediately order another one." Don't stare at it, take it easy, something will happen if you swallow it like this. ”

In a hurry, if it weren't for Xiao Chusu and Han Hua on the side, who looked at them as usual and didn't gobble up like the two of them, they would have wondered if these young ladies had been hungry for a few days, and finally smelled the smell of rice.

People are worried that the young master is in a hurry, but the people who are in a hurry here, the wolf lord has no intention of being reasonable at all. The speed on his hands and mouth has never slowed down, but in a moment's effort, the food on this table has made the young master lose most of it.

The young master is a small and a big one, when have they seen the young master like this, the two little masters were also stunned, and after finding that no matter how anxious they were, the young master's swallowing speed would not slow down, they were also silent. The pestle was watching there, and Xiao Huan couldn't help but say, "Young master, slow down, isn't it just a trip to the tea field to make you hungry like this?" ”

It's okay not to say anything, as soon as Chu Rui's starry eyes glared directly, and the thing in his mouth had just been swallowed, Chu Rui said, "Can you make me hungry like this?" Wait until I slow down, young master, and then kick you over and stay for a few days, and you will know if you can be hungry like this. ”

As soon as Chu Rui's words fell, Chu Heng said: "If it weren't for the eldest sister who first mixed into the tea field, we wouldn't know what kind of life the tea farmers in our tea field lived. Hunger is still small, and the side can really kill people, not to mention eating at this table, even if I go outside and call me a bowl of Yangchun noodles, I can swallow it with a bowl. ”

Xiao Chuheng's words are not exaggerated, now in his opinion, no matter what, it is a hundred times better than the tea farmers in the tea fields who eat two meals a day.

The life of the tea farmers must be difficult, and they already have a spectrum in their hearts, but they never imagined that it would be so bad. The hungry young master can even eat a bowl, what kind of life does this tea farmer live. At that moment, Xiang Zhu was even more worried, looking at Xiao Chu, who had eaten some and his face was slightly better, Xiang Zhu asked.

"Miss, you have been in the tea garden for the past few days, what is the situation in the tea garden, why are the third young master and the fourth young master emaciated like this, and they are still hungry like this."

"You ask the tea field?" After resting for a long time, people were relieved for a few breaths, and Xiao Chuxuan told a few people everything in the tea field. The life of a tea farmer must be miserable, and this is well known, but no matter how many there are, I never imagined that it would be like that. After listening to Xiao Chuxuan's story, several people were shocked, and Firefly was even more frightened and gasped several times in a row, and said.

"I can't imagine that the bear master is such a bad-hearted person, and if he does such an unconscionable thing, he is not afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution? If he really worried that there would be a god in his head, he wouldn't have done it so inhumanely. You don't know what kind of life the tea farmers are living, this day to pick 20 catties of new tea, the salary of a busy day is only 20 Wen, if you don't make up 20 catties of new tea, the wages of this day will be wasted. The wages are so small that people are outrageously charged, and they only let people eat two meals in the morning and evening a day, saying that the new tea is busy, and the busy day is just noon to ask people to rest for a moment or so. Needless to say, just thinking about it, you can also think of it, and it is not a life that people should live at all. ”

The life of the tea farmer is extremely bitter, so that people feel pain in their hearts just by listening to it, and their faces show a look of anger, Xiang Zhu said: "How can there be such an inhuman bastard in this world, twenty catties a day, but the salary of twenty wen, this month is only six hundred wen, if there are many people in the family, these six hundred wen are not enough to fill the stomach." ”

"That's why the more I think about it, the more angry I feel, six hundred wen a month, and another ten times or twenty times, Chu Heng goes to the kiln to drink flower wine."

Master Xiong is angry, of course he should be scolded, but don't talk about himself, he immediately choked the third young master, and he almost couldn't breathe. Finally relieved under Xiao Shou's pat, Chu Heng looked at the eldest sister and sighed: "Eldest sister, how can it be so raw and pull on me again." ”

"Who let the third brother mess up! Who do you scold if you don't scold? ”

"You vicious overlord, don't you gloat?"

"I'm gloating, but I'm realistic, what? Could it be that the third brother only paid 600 yuan when he went to the kiln to drink flower wine? If there are really only 600 Wen, then the fourth brother is strange, which kiln is so kind, and he is happy to let the third brother in. ”

After eating, my strength returned, and I quarreled in that place again.

These two bastards didn't let themselves be quiet for a day, and Xiao Chuxuan was also annoyed at the moment, and shouted directly: "You can't stop your mouth with so much food? ”

With a roar, the Xiao brothers immediately shut up, and when it came to Hanwha, they hurriedly lowered their heads and continued to eat after chuckling, pretending not to see the angry glares cast by the two sons.

It can be regarded as telling the two bastards to shut up, Xiao Chuxuan looked at Xiang Zhu and asked, "By the way, what did I ask you to explore?" How is it? ”

After asking, Xiang Zhu replied: "Miss, you let Xiang Zhu do everything Xiang Zhu has done, as Miss you guessed, this bear master is indeed a black-hearted person, and almost all the wages reported to Kyoto tea farmers every year go into his pocket." This is the details of the silver and silver that he personally listed, and they are all in this account book, young lady, take a look. ”

This account book was obtained by Xiang Zhu with great effort, and it was also evidence of the crime of the person's corruption, and the young lady had naturally handed over the detailed book to Xiao Chusu. At the moment, he took out the account book from his arms and handed it to Xiao Chusu, flipped through it in detail, and Xiao Chusu snorted and said.

"Sure enough, it's a rat with a rotten heart, so greedy that he doesn't even want humanity."

"It's just that I don't want humanity anymore, according to Xiang Zhu's opinion, I'm afraid that my heart is buried in money. Stretched out his hand to ask our Xiao family for this large sum of silver, but he only gave the tea farmer 600 wen a month, and the remaining 32 or 4 cents went into his pocket. It's just a matter of being greedy like this, when he learned that Tang Guodong went to Kyoto to report that it was a person who was five or two in January, he even planned to swallow the silver that Tang Guodong wanted to be greedy for privately, Miss, how can you say this person can be like this? When it's for the silver, you don't need anything. ”

Thinking of the face of Master Xiong, she was angry in her heart, and the irony was enough.

If people's hearts are tainted with greed, no matter what, there is nothing they can't think of, and there is absolutely nothing they can't do. was also sarcastic, throwing the account book on the case, Xiao Chu snorted and laughed.

"Black, do you think he's just blackening this bit of silver? Our bear master's heart is far bigger than you think, and it is even wilder, but this tea farmer's salary and the silver paid to the tea field every month, how can this money satisfy his stomach. ”

"Miss, what do you mean by that?"

From the tea farmer's greedy silver taels, it is already a lot of money, but from what Xiao Chuxuan just said and the ridicule in his words, Xiang Zhu always felt that this black-hearted bear was in charge, and I was afraid that he would be able to do something unscrupulous in private, and it was definitely not one or two. At the moment, the faces of the people also sank a little, even Chu Heng Churui, who was busy eating and drinking there, and Han Hua, who was still sitting upright, all condensed their eyes because of her sarcasm.

Everyone was silent, and Xiao Chusu was not in a hurry to speak, but raised his hand and knocked on the desk one after another, and Xiao Chusu said after being silent for a long time.

"Our Xiao family's tea field is a thousand acres wide, I specially asked the housekeeper on the side of the bear's chief, the Xiao family's tea field produces about 3,000 quintals of tea in spring, about 2,000 quintals of tea in summer, and about 3,000 quintals of tea in autumn. But how much has Yuanzhou sent to Kyoto in recent years? The sum of the years and years after the year is only six thousand, and the year is less than a year. The rhetoric of the bear master is that the heavens are not beautiful, and the peasants are arrogant, so the more this tea is produced, the less it is. But now it seems that this is not the case, I see that the sky is very beautiful, the tea farmers are also diligent, and the output is increasing year by year. If this is the case, then I am strange, why is the total amount of tea sent to Kyoto getting smaller and smaller every year? Where did the tea that was plucked but not brought to Kyoto go? ”

The total amount of tea is not small, but the total amount that can be sent to Kyoto is less than a year, and there is no tea in the country.

Where did it go?

Where did he go, Xiao Chuxuan still needs to understand, it is this remark, and everyone's hearts have already understood.

Greed for profit, this is human nature, this is understandable, Xiao Chusu also admitted that he is a mercenary person. However, it is rare to be greedy for the bear to be in charge, and the people are already angry at the moment, and the two young masters of the Xiao family have no heart to taste the food.

Humming sarcastically, Xiao Chuheng said: "It's just a matter of being greedy for the tea farmer's money, and even the tea produced in the tea field dares to make a fuss. ”

"In the past, I used to send 8,000 quintals, but I only sent 6,000 to Kyoto, third brother, the silver that this bear master embezzled from under the nose of our Xiao family is probably enough for you to wrap the top brand of the Nuanxiang Pavilion for many years. Oh, let's be there all day long, take the little silver from the eldest sister and be careful. It's good here, taking our Xiao family's salary, making our Xiao family's house, and even swallowing our Xiao family's business. Sure enough, this person should have set fire to his house, along with the disgusting things in his stomach. ”

It is hateful to privately swallow the wages of tea farmers, who knows that the greed of Master Xiong can't help but be so, not only swallowing the wages of tea farmers, but also privately swallowing the tea produced by the Xiao family. This tea is another root of the Xiao family, but now it is called Master Xiong to secretly swallow it, what is the use of him swallowing these tea leaves? I'm afraid that I really want to turn the Xiao family's tea field into the Xiong's tea field, and secretly want to do my own business.

Every year, I spent so much silver taels, but I asked people to secretly move it and sell it privately, this feeling is like spending a lot of money to raise a baby, but I asked someone to abduct and sell it. is so sullen, how can the Xiao family swallow it, the smoldering fire in their hearts at the moment is getting more and more prosperous.

This man has rested enough, eaten and eaten, and now he should be able to meet this black-hearted oil stealing mouse.

The matter was settled, and the people also left, and just as a few people got up to go to Xiong's Mansion, a small servant entered outside the house, which was a personal servant who was waiting for Hanwha. After entering the house, he walked quickly to Hanwha's side and whispered a few words in his ear. I saw Han Hua's face change slightly, and then he quickly calmed his head, and after answering the order, he looked at Xiao Chuxuan and the two young masters, and Han Hua said.

"Miss Xiao, the third son, the fourth son, there are just some trivial things that need to be done, and the bustle of this Xiong Mansion is so lively that I can't go with a few of them."

"Is there something wrong with Gongzi Han?"

"There happened to be a business acquaintance in Yuanzhou, who learned that I was here, and invited me to go to Xiashangfu."

"I see, since Han Gongzi has something to do, let's go and get busy first."

It's also ugly to say that the branch is also ugly, and if Hanwha doesn't go with him to see the excitement, it's also appropriate. He nodded immediately, and then said goodbye for the time being, until Hanwha got up and left, and the Xiao family walked towards Xiong Mansion angrily. (To be continued.) )
