Sun Zhiyuan procrastinated, turned back in three steps, and returned to the door in five steps.

The delighted housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, and sent the little servant into the garden to report to Master Shen.

Kneeling in front of his father Shen Jincai, Shen Zhiyuan was ready to receive the family law.

No, Shen Jincai didn't beat him or scold him this time.

"Don't be an eyesore in front of me, kneel, go into the ancestral hall and kneel." Shen Jincai slumped through his purple clay pot.

Shen Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Dad, my son is now an eight-grade Xiaoqi." ”

Shen Jincai's eyes widened, and he shouted: "What's wrong with the eight-rank Xiaoqi, it's just a slave soldier ruffian." Our Shen family has a big business, if you want to be an official, you will be a serious official, even if you spend money to buy a county order, your father will be willing to do it. That's a serious seven-rank official. ”

Shen Zhiyuan said: "Wu Zheng, now he is a hundred households, and he is a six-grade official. ”

Shen Jincai said angrily: "What's the big deal? In exchange for life, he will live a long life. We're not uncommon. From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave Shen Yuan for half a step and study at home. Don't follow that kid around, you don't have to lose your life, who will you talk to? ”

"I'm an eight-rank small banner, a registered officer, Dad, you can't lock me up."

"Presumptuous, Lao Liu, please follow the family law."

"Dad, you injured Xiaoqi, you have to break the law."

"Fart, Lao Tzu beats his son, it's right. You are a big official, even if you become a prefect and governor, it is my son. But having said that, Shen Jincai didn't really fight.

"Dad, just let me go." Shen Zhiyuan begged.

Shen Jincai snorted angrily and said: "Son, now is a troubled time, and the army dies the fastest, and my father doesn't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person." Our Shen family has three generations of single transmission, and I didn't get your generation, so I was gone. ”

"Dad, I have a way not to die."

Shen Jincai said angrily: "What's the way?" When you go to the battlefield, you have no eyes for knives and guns, who can protect you? ”

Shen Zhiyuan sneered: "The bigger the official, the less he will die." ”

Shen Jincai sneered: "It's up to you? You can't be a chicken, and I'm afraid that the kid will give you a small flag, right? I still want to be promoted, so let's dream about it. ”

"Dad, isn't our family rich? Wu Zheng said that he would donate 10,000 taels to make the general flag. Dad, that's a seven-rank official. ”

When Shen Jincai heard this, the fat under his cheeks trembled, and he glared and scolded: "I have long seen that kid is not authentic, and he only needs six thousand taels to make up for the lack of a serious county order, and he dares to collect 10,000 taels for a general banner?" Why didn't he rob it? Dream of being a big head. ”

Shen Zhiyuan heard that it was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Dad, I also said this to Wu Zheng, fortunately, he was still reasonable, and later said, just ...... Five thousand taels. ”

Shen Jincai glared at Shen Zhiyuan for a long time, and sighed: "People's elbows are turned in, you fool knows that turning out, it's really lard to blind your heart." ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly: "Dad is so wise, he can't hide anything from his father." But when the child saw the more than 800 people brought by Wu Zheng, they were poor and helpless, so the child wanted to help them and do his best. ”

"There are more poor people in the world. No matter how big the Shen family is, they can't give it away. Besides, his Wu family is also a rich family, I heard that the kid took back the shop, land and house in Wuzhuang yesterday, why didn't he donate more, and asked you to cheat your father? You, what a fool, why did I give birth to such a loser thing as you? ”

"Dad, don't wronged Wu Zheng, he gave all the shops and fields to those people, and even Wuzhuang still has soldiers?"

"Isn't that the end of it? If you have a field and a shop, you can feed the people. ”

"Dad, it's September now, and the harvest of the fields will wait for next year, what should those people do after more than half a year?"

Shen Jincai hesitated for a long time, and finally relented, and stretched out five fingers with trembling hands, "Okay." Let's take it as a good deed, your father and I donate...... Five hundred taels. ”

"Five hundred taels? What about 800 people, one person is less than one or two, how many days can they eat? Dad, you should buy me a flag officer, it can be regarded as saving my life, right? ”

"That'...... Then give out a thousand taels, no more, your father's money is not blowing in the wind, is it? ”

"Your son's life is worth a thousand taels?" Shen Zhiyuan shouted.

Shen Jincai glared and said: "Your life is naturally more than one thousand taels, but if you give money, if you really fight, you can't save your life." ”

"Okay, I'm leaving, you can keep the 1,000 taels for your retirement."

"Alas...... Don't leave. You stupid thing, can't you get out of it? It's only five thousand taels, but it can't be more. And let Wu Zheng, that kid don't be a rai, and give you a promotion...... If you dare to lie Lai, my father will go to Wuzhuang Gate to ....... ”

……。

Sun Zhiyuan returned to Wuzhuang and went to find Wu Zheng.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wu sucking porridge.

He laughed and said: "Wu Zheng, Lord Wu, Wu Baihu, a bowl of gruel was drunk by you to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, which really makes the little brother admire." ”

Wu Zhengzheng took a mouthful of porridge and was about to swallow it.

I almost choked on such a sentence suddenly.

After swallowing hard, Wu De turned his head and glared angrily, "You are still a scholar, and you don't know how to report when you enter someone's house?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled, stepped forward to sit opposite, and asked, "Didn't you invite Li Ruhai to eat wine, why did you come back to drink porridge?" ”

"I didn't eat, I returned."

"Withdrawn?" Shen Zhiyuan was stunned, "Is this still the young master Wu who spends a lot of money in front of you?" It's just two or two seats, are you embarrassed to quit? Besides, will people give you a refund? Don't use your identity as a hundred households to bully the Hakka again, Wu Zheng, let me tell you, the ...... of the villagers in the township. ”

"Shut up, what are you talking about?" Wu Zheng glanced at Shen Zhiyuan in annoyance, "I haven't eaten, why can't I return?" Two taels of silver, you can buy more than 300 catties of grain, you have also seen, 800 people plus more than 300 soldiers, a day of rice alone will cost 3,000 catties, you should have a mine on Wujia Mountain? Can't hold on to the point? ”

Shen Zhiyuan was surprised: "Those more than 300 soldiers, do you want to raise them?" Didn't you say that the imperial court promised to divide it into three hundred households? ”

Wu Zheng put down the bowl, "This is true. But what health center is not in arrears of food and wages now? The Duke of Yue and the Duke of Xingguo intercepted all the money and grain in eastern Zhejiang, and except for the eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture, the imperial court did not have any input. This time, Lu Jianguo can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and he took out 2,000 taels of private property to resettle the people, but you say, I didn't take office, so I'm embarrassed to ask for it again? ”

"I said, why did you become so ruthless, you squeezed more than 5,000 stone of grain from the Chen family, and the bad family also made a marriage with you."

Wu Zheng was furious, "Did I go to squeeze the Chen family because of lack of food?" When Guy Chen and Er Huang occupied more than a dozen shops of the Wu family, did they think about marrying the Wu family? ”

Shen Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Did I say something wrong?" You see you're in such a hurry, can't you talk well? By the way, I'm here to tell you, I found you five thousand taels. ”
