Fan Yu smiled secretly in his heart, this is the time for the poor dagger to appear, and it was cold all of a sudden, these squires don't seem to be generous.

Wang Feng's words came out, but no one answered, and this matter was a little uncomfortable.

Qin Yuanwai had just received a plaque from the magistrate of the county, and this gathering was also initiated in the name of celebrating him. Now that Wang Zhubo has encountered an embarrassing situation, even if he is reluctant in his heart, he can't help but speak.

"The king opened his mouth, as a squire of Caoqiao Town, I have been rewarded by the magistrate of the county, so I can't sit idly by." Qin Yuanwai also endured the heartache at this time, but he still had to save face, "Although my family's thousands of acres of fertile land have not been harvested, I can't be stingy, I pledge to donate a thousand stone grain!" ”

Qin Sheng, who was behind Qin Yuanwai, saw that his father's brain was hot, and he donated another thousand stones of grain, and his face immediately turned pale with pain. How did he reincarnate in the womb, and he was reincarnated in the house of such a loser's father.

However, Qin Yuan's foreign words have been exported, and it is impossible to take them back.

Wang Feng looked at the more than forty squires sitting and said, "Have you seen that such a righteous person as Qin Yuanwai has suffered a disaster and is still concerned about the hungry people, can't you make everyone admire?" ”

Speaking of which, these squires also had to speak out.

At this time, a squire spoke: "Qin Yuanwai's boldness, let me admire it, in this case, I will also donate a thousand stone grain!" ”

"I won't hide it from you, most of my family's fields are planted with cotton, and I have no grain to donate." A squire also followed: "However, I can't be left behind, so I will donate five hundred yuan, which can be regarded as a slight expression." ”

At this point, no one spoke, and the scene was cold again.

Wang Feng's gaze swept over these squires, "Lord Zhixian is the parent official of Xihua County, and he works day and night for these hungry people. Now they are all sick. Don't you all want to be considerate of Shangguan and share your worries for the magistrate? ”

Although he could not force these squires to pledge, he brought out the name of the magistrate.

These squires are all in Xihua County, and if they want to do something, they are always inseparable from the government. Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning has already been reached. If you don't donate, we'll see.

The squires were in their hearts, and immediately someone opened their mouths to pledge money.

Fan Yu looked at these squires and couldn't help but shake his head.

He also stood up and said: "Everyone is a native of their hometown, and those hungry people are from Chenzhou, not far from our Xihua County, and they can be regarded as half of the villagers." It is naturally good for everyone to donate some money and food so that these villagers can get by. But if the relief is not good, in order to survive, the hungry people may become mobs. People don't want to think about it, and it's not hard to guess what they're going to do. Don't say that these hungry people will go elsewhere, but Xihua County is very close. ”

The truth is laid out for them, and the rest is up to them to figure it out.

Wang Feng looked at Fan Yu, he put pressure on the squires from the official side, and this kid put pressure on him from the perspective of the people, but he cooperated well.

The squires are not stupid, and they know that if they don't donate today, I'm afraid they won't be able to say anything. So one by two, they stepped forward and reported the amount they had pledged.

Wang Feng ordered the scribe to write down the pledge figures, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Everyone, everyone is so enthusiastic about donating, it is really a great fortune for my Xihua County!" There are many benevolent and righteous squires in Xihua County, and I think it will be more prosperous. I salute Qin and everyone! ”

Everyone has donated, Wang Feng and Fan Yu have done things quite smoothly, and the rest is naturally the joy of the guests and hosts.

After the banquet dispersed, Fan Yu also copied a record of pledges and kept it in his hands. He also has to know this thing in his heart, and he has to write a joint letter with Wang Feng afterwards, so he naturally has to have the number of accounts.

Fan Yu asked Zhang's father and son to go back with Qin Yuanwai, and he himself went to the county government with Wang Feng.

That Qin Yuan looked at Fan Yu outside, and his teeth were a little itchy. Originally, I was happy to come to the celebration banquet, but I didn't want to throw in another thousand stones of grain. This account is not unknown, and I was shocked when I calculated it, and if it was converted into money, I was afraid that I would lose no less than 2,000 yuan before and after. This is not a small amount, and the Qin Mansion will have to save a year or two to make up for this shortfall.

"Fan Yu, don't go." Qin Yuanwai grabbed Fan Yu and said, "Didn't you say that the county might compensate me." Why are you here, but let you pledge? What kind of celebration banquet is this, it's obviously a Hongmen banquet. ”

"Don't worry about Qin Yuanwai, you have to build momentum for such things first. Now it's just a county reputation, you have to take a long-term view, and after a while, Lord Qinchabao, who released grain in Chenzhou, will also know. Fan Yu casually said: "Who is that bag?" He is the master of the blue sky, and he is valued by the official family as a messenger, so he is naturally able to speak in front of the official family. If he occasionally mentions you in front of the official family one day, it is impossible for your Qin Mansion not to soar. ”

Qin Yuanwai was skeptical about these words, but he was still distressed, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's just a celebration in the county, and it tosses a lot of my family resources, if I go to the state capital to celebrate again, it won't let my Qin family go bankrupt, right?" ”

Fan Yu couldn't help laughing, this Qin member is also an interesting person.

"Naturally not, you can't be a family property when everyone is staring at you." Fan Yu shook his head and said: "If this is the case, I married your Qin family two days ago, wouldn't I be able to share some family property and earn a dowry." ”

Qin Yuanwai smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Little Brother Fan has a bright future, my Qin family is not worthy of you, so don't mention this matter." ”

After finishing speaking, he ran away as if he was leaving, and secretly vomited in his heart, if he recruited this guy as his grandson-in-law, he was afraid that he would not even have a coffin if he died.

Fan Yu didn't care about him, and walked to the county government with Wang Feng.

"Brother Wang, do you know when the county lord will take a cut from this money and grain." Fan Yu asked.

"The magistrate will not wait, as soon as our account book for donating money and food is handed in, the adult will take the lead." Wang Feng laughed, and continued: "When those iron roosters pay all the money and food, I don't know when." It's far less pleasant to withdraw it in advance from the county treasury first. It's a big deal that on the grounds that there are many hungry people, send someone to ask the squire to make up for it quickly. ”

Fan Yu couldn't help but smash his tongue, "The county magistrate is not afraid of a mistake in the middle, if the money and grain are urgently needed, and the county treasury is empty, wouldn't it be terrible." ”

Wang Feng said disapprerovitically: "This kind of thing is not simple, if it is embarrassing, it will report a loss." If the above is in a hurry, set a fire. In the end, there is no proof of death, and it is a dereliction of duty to stand up to the sky, and it is not a big deal. When the magistrate first took office, his predecessor left a big deficit. That time, the magistrate had already let go of a fire. ”

Hearing Wang Feng's words, Fan Yu was a little cold. Seeing that Najia Zhixian was intoxicated with tea art, he was polite and polite, but he didn't expect to do such a thing, which is really unseemly.
