Chapter 070: Xu An
Originally, Peng Jin planned to let Yunwu escort the car at the right time, so as to bring the children of the tenants in the Grange for questioning and find out the current situation of Daxing Grange and what Kong Daxing did on weekdays. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But apparently, now the plan is bankrupt.
Kong Daxing must have been reminded by Kong's mother, and he was in a hurry to behave, so as to continue to fool her in order to steal more property.
Peng Jin didn't think about going to Daxing Grange to find out the situation in person, but she was in the early stages of pregnancy when she was dangerous and prone to miscarriage, so she didn't dare or was reluctant to risk the child in her womb.
After getting the news, Peng Jin pondered for a moment, decided to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and met with the person who escorted the car to send Qiuli in Baoxia.
It's impossible for a human being to be perfectly disguised, as long as she is willing to investigate carefully, she will always find some clues.
When he saw the visitor, Peng Jin was very happy about his decision.
This time, there are two people who come to escort Qiuli, one long and one young.
The eldest is about thirty years old, and he is the nurse of the Grange who specializes in managing the orchard, named Zhang Dazhu, Peng Jin didn't ask a word, and he saw that this person was in collusion with Kong Daxing, and he was in cahoots with him, and he was asking for rewards for Kong Daxing and himself.
The young one was only thirteen or fourteen years old, tall and slender, standing with his head bowed and his hands down, except for asking An to report his name and identity, he had been standing quietly aside, looking weak and quiet.
"The villain's name is Xu An, and he is the eldest son of Xu Dalang, a tenant of Daxing Grange. Today, I specially took the opportunity to send autumn pears to the third grandmother on behalf of everyone. ā
Peng Jin recalled Xu An's self-introduction, and soon had an idea.
"By the way, there are a lot of autumn pears sent this time, and I can't help but put them, and the two of you will work with Yunwu for a while, and send the autumn pears to other yards, so that everyone can try them together." Peng Jin said that, threw Yunwu another look, and specially instructed, "You arrange carefully, don't let them break into the depths of the courtyard by mistake and disturb the ladies in the house." ā
It means that the clouds and mist should keep a close eye on people.
Yunwu bowed her head and promised, and called Lan'er, who happened to pass by, from the door to help, she and Zhang Dazhu in a group, Lan'er and Xu An in a group, to distribute autumn pears to each courtyard.
Taking advantage of the gap between the baskets for Qiu Li, Yunwu whispered Peng Jin's order, asking Lan'er to behave, and when she and Zhang Dazhu left with Qiu Li, they led Xu An to see Peng Jin in Baoxia again, waiting for questioning.
As for the autumn pears assigned by the two of them, naturally there are other people who do it for them.
When Peng Jin met Zhang Dazhu and Xu An just now, Yunwu was on the side the whole time, and he could understand the words and deeds of the two. Coupled with the fact that he had known Peng Jin's plan for a long time, Yunwu quickly understood Peng Jin's intention to arrange this.
Lan'er was confused, but she obeyed the order very appropriately. As soon as Yunwu and Zhang Dazhu were out of sight, Lan'er immediately put down the autumn pear in her hand and said to Xu An: "Okay, put the autumn pear first, you and I will go to see the third grandmother." ā
To Lan'er's surprise, Xu An seemed to have expected this, and put down the work in his hand with a calm expression and followed her footsteps obediently.
Xu An entered the hugging building again, and without waiting for Peng Jin to speak, he knelt on his knees and hugged his grievances: "Please also ask the third grandmother to be the master of our tenants." ā
Lan'er's face was stunned, completely blinded by Xu An's actions.
Peng Jin didn't answer and asked: "Eleven's rent, is it high?" ā
Xu An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "It's not high." After a pause, he added, "Even, much lower than the rent of other granges." ā
In today's Great Qi Dynasty, it is the norm to collect rent from three or seven, and there are also four or six rent collectors who are ruthless, and even five or five rent collectors. In comparison, the rent of Daxing Grange can be regarded as the lowest in Daqi. Not to mention, every time there was a famine, Peng Jin not only directly exempted the tenants from rent, but also often opened the granary to help them.
Peng Jin smiled and did not speak.
After all, Xu An is still a child, and he was born as a tenant farmer, even if he is top-notch among the tenants, but his vision, mind, intelligence and ambition are inevitably limited, seeing that Peng Jin just smiled and did not speak, he suddenly became apprehensive, and his words became a little more urgent: "However, Kong Zhuangtou often collects wealth under various names and persecutes tenants ......"
Before Xu An finished speaking, he was interrupted by Peng Jin: "Even if Kong Daxing collects money in various names, then you do the math, these are all added together, can the rent reach three or seven openings?" ā
She wants to punish Kong Daxing for stealing money and treating her as a fool, but this does not mean that she is willing to be blackmailed by the tenants of Daxing Grange as a weak. If she listened to the tenants this time, then the management would not be easier, but would only be more difficult.
She had to make the tenants understand that Kong Daxing was punished, firstly for betraying her master, and secondly for exploiting their interests!
A person who is born rich is because his ancestors have overcome obstacles and struggled all the way, not a big pie falling from the sky!
People who are born poor should not be jealous of the rich because of this, and forcibly demand from the rich in the attitude of the weak to pity their misfortunes!
She can help the tenants of Daxing Grange, reduce rent, open a warehouse to release grain, and even set up a private school for them to train their offspring, which she is willing to do whenever the conditions allow.
But only if these tenants themselves know that they are motivated, and they try to seize the opportunity to prove that her good deeds will not become a ridiculous joke!
In this world, there is no one who can get something for nothing.
Xu An, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly calmed down when he was calculating, and replied calmly: "Less than three seven." ā
Yes, in that case, why are they angry at what Kong Daxing did, and why do they think they can take advantage of Peng Jin's account check to shout out their grievances, so as to get rid of Kong Daxing in one fell swoop?
It's just because they're used to enjoying the kindness of the owner of Daxing Grange, and they're gradually taking it for granted.
Xu An sighed in his heart, a trace of sadness that did not match his age appeared on his green face, and he was convinced: "It's the villain who has forgotten his form, and I ask the third grandmother to punish him." ā
Peng Jin showed a sincere and comfortable smile, beckoned to Xu An, and asked him to get up, with a brisk tone: "You are not a subordinate in the house, your words and deeds are incomprehensible once, where can you use the word 'punishment'!" Besides, I have something to do, and I need your help. ā
Seeing this, Xu An breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not modest and pretentious, stood up from the ground, bent down and arched his hand: "The villain knows what the third grandmother wants to ask." So before he came, he recorded everything that the villain could hear on paper, just waiting for the opportunity to present it to the third grandmother. ā
Although he tried his best to win this opportunity, but with Zhang Dazhu following, Xu Anke didn't dare to guarantee that he would face Peng Jin in person and count Kong Daxing's crimes, so he wrote these on paper in advance.
After that, Xu An took out a thick pile of paper from his arms and handed it to Lan'er on the side.
