Chapter 254: Buying meat is one

"Lord Zhao sold meat at my house, and Lord Zhao's mother had her eightieth birthday and bought two catties of meat at our house."

As soon as the eldest grandson Yuanhong raised his head, he looked at the commotion outside, and many people sitting in the lobby of the inn flocked to the top of the inn, as if they were watching something lively.

After a three-day long journey, we finally arrived at the first big city north of the city, and crossed the pipeline along the road, such as the upstream of the two rivers, and passed through various post stations, which was the only way to go to the border pass Cangzhou City.

Cangzhou City is very prosperous between people coming and going, although it can't be compared with Shengjing, surrounded by merchants peddling small toys, Angel likes it very much, because of the simplicity of the light car, the group is faster than the army, in addition, it is getting late, the eldest grandson Yuanhong decided to stay and rest.

I inquired about an inn with a good reputation, asked for three upper rooms, and some ordinary rooms, and the group ate in the lobby.

For the eldest grandson Yuanhong, this is another novelty, since he has grown up so much, his meals have been arranged from head to tail, hundreds of tricks, but he has never enjoyed the fun of an ordinary person.

As soon as she sat down to eat, Angel was a little depressed, and she didn't complain about her, but the big boss among them was too eye-catching, but sitting there, there was a breath of superiority, which attracted the attention of many people present.

It's just that what is the origin of that Lord Zhao, the howl outside seems to be the voice of a butcher, and the officialdom almost doesn't buy much pork.

The scholars are carnivores, and the pig is an extremely cheap thing in the eyes of the scholars, dog meat is not allowed to be seated, and the officialdom is extremely exclusive of two things, so even if it is bought and eaten, it will not be so hyped up, this Lord Zhao, what kind of character is it, Angel's heart is like a kitten tickling.

The eldest grandson Yuanhong was also a little surprised, isn't it just two catties of pork, since he was a child, he has never eaten that kind of thing, why did the butcher hear that Lord Zhao bought pork, he was so elated, and nodded to the guards.

"You guys, let go of me, let go of me!"

The guard knew the mind of the eldest grandson Yuanhong very well, and grabbed a shopkeeper who was beating wine and threw it opposite the eldest grandson Yuanhong, but he seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the rude behavior of the guard.

The eldest grandson Yuanhong put a piece of gold on the table, and said straightforwardly, "Who is that Lord Zhao?" Why did he buy a piece of meat, and the people here reacted so much? ”

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the gold, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he swept it over, smiled at the eldest grandson Yuanhong, bit it hard with the big yellow teeth, and quickly took the money back.

"This Lord Zhao is the county magistrate of our Cangzhou City, and he is a rare good official, and our people here call him Zhao Qingtian in private. As for why everyone is so surprised about him buying meat, it is because today is his old mother's 80th birthday, he is an upright person, and everyone who is an official is constantly receiving benefits and eating meat, but Zhao Qingtian is extremely honest and can only eat vegetarian food. ”

"It's not that strict, is it!?" Changsun Yuanhong was a little embarrassed, as soon as he heard such an official, Changsun Yuanhong respected him very much, but he felt ashamed of his extravagance.

"Really!" The boss of the shopkeeper swore that he was almost accustomed to someone looking at Lord Zhao like this, but those who really knew Lord Zhao would definitely think that what he said was not very comprehensive, "Lord Zhao is very poor, and those people in the court are not enough to stuff their teeth." Speaking of this, don't really complain about the corruption of officials, if you don't embezzle, you may not be able to live, think about it, this little county magistrate, say big or small, there is an eighty-year-old mother at home, a three-year-old child, wives and concubines have to be fed, a hundred taels of silver a year, where is there enough or something! ”

Angel nodded seriously, don't really say it, according to the expenses in the palace, the silver she spends a day, to say the least, is more than a hundred taels, not counting those precious jewelry, even those firewood, rice, oil and salt, clothes and fabrics, it is a huge amount, plus those fruits that are not suitable for planting in season, this hundred taels of silver is simply a drop in the bucket.

The eldest grandson Yuanhong was really surprised, "According to what you said, then Lord Zhao should be a good official, why doesn't the emperor reuse such a person?" ”

Changsun Yuanhong said with certainty, if Lord Zhao is really so incorruptible, even if his qualifications in the officialdom are not good, Changsun Yuanhong will still notice that kind of person, until now, in Cangzhou City, he has never even heard of the name of Lord Zhao.

The eldest grandson Yuanhong has always had some special idea, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all honest and honest officials, then the life of the people in the world will be much better, and there will always be no trouble in the future, no officials are not greedy, officials force the people to rebel, and ministers can be killed.

The shopkeeper shook his head and looked around, "I also guessed this, don't look at me as a businessman, but businessmen also have the way of businessmen, and they have to give some gifts to those high-ranking officials every year, and it is convenient to do things in the future, right!?" Our shopping mall has the rules of the shopping mall, if you break away, you can only lose your business and withdraw from the shopping mall in the future, this officialdom is similar, our shopping mall is already so cruel, does this officialdom still need to be said? I can't talk to any of my colleagues around me, so naturally no one knows. This Lord Zhao is a person with real talent and hard work, and it is because of this that he can be a county magistrate safe and sound. ”

"Is it possible, there are still people who can't tolerate this Lord Zhao and want his life to fail?" Eldest Sun Yuanhong raised his eyebrows, and for the first time he was curious about this person.

"Hey! There are more people who want Zhao's life, first of all, our governor of Cangzhou, and then the one who is far and near, is the Jiang Guogong. ”

The eldest grandson Yuanhong almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, he suddenly remembered something, he could only say that he had heard about it slightly, and he only heard it as a joke, but what he didn't expect was that he bumped into a real person today.

"What you said about looking for an adult, wouldn't it be the Lord Zhao who opened a vegetable field in the county government and planted vegetables by himself!?" That person's fierce deeds, even the eldest grandson Yuanhong had to sigh with admiration.
