Water reforms are about to be implemented, and the costs will be spread over the heads of local households. This is in the vital interests of the lords, so they are all of great concern.

This is not all in a hurry to the county seat. It's just that they didn't want to actively help the reform like Yunshu, but came to cry poverty to the county magistrate.

What grain is too heavy, what harvest is not good, incompetent for the construction of water conservancy, or unable to bear the funds for water conservancy construction alone, in short, it is a weak and difficult situation, and I hope that the county lord will consider the people's livelihood and bear some expenses, which is the purpose of their trip.

In fact, they also know that the imperial court wants to reform, and there is only implementation below, but this burden is indeed a bit heavy. The big landlords in Qinghe County, who were elected by these people, were invited to the county government to have tea and discuss matters with the county lord. The rest of the people gathered outside the county office were worried.

Again, even if the construction of water conservancy can increase grain production to a certain extent, no one wants to give up their vested interests easily. This is also the hardest point of all reforms.

Yun Shu is too young, others will inevitably make fun of her as a handsome little doll, no one takes her words seriously, and some people even want to pinch her little face, but Yu Hong blocks her.

Yunshu was helpless and asked his senior brother for help. Although Yu Hong usually doesn't like to talk, he pretends to be a small landlord to talk to everyone at this time, and he does a lot of things like that when he is looking for news.

About half an hour later, several pot-bellied men came out of the county office, and their faces were very bad. Everyone hurriedly went up to explore, and hugged these people to the teahouse not far away, and Yun Shu and Yu Hong also followed the flow of people into the teahouse.

"It's not easy." A fat landlord took a sip of tea.

"What does the county master say?" The person next to him asked anxiously.

"The county magistrate said that this was a decision from above, and he couldn't say anything."

Another fat man continued: "Let's go back and prepare the funds, it's useless to gather here." ”

Yun Shu couldn't help but interject: "Compared to the tenants, our burden is still much easier, besides, after the construction of water conservancy, it is still us who will benefit?" ”

"Yellow-mouthed child! Everything is as simple as you think? ”

"Children's knowledge is limited, and I hope that my seniors will give me more advice." Yun Shu said humbly.

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but say: "If I wait to pay the money, can the water conservancy be repaired?" Thank goodness that half of the funds can be used on it. ”

"Yes, in the end, the money was spent, and the water conservancy was still not repaired, so the gains outweighed the losses."

"Alas, there's no way around it, who made us a small people who could slaughter anyone?"

"Since your question is not against the construction of water conservancy, why don't you talk to the county magistrate about the issue of fund supervision?" Yunshu wondered.

"Whose child is this? I don't know how thick the sky is, dare to say this? ”

"Why can't you say that?" The cloud tree is unknown.

"What's the difference between saying this to the county master and touching the tiger's butt?"

"Do you have any other worries besides worrying that the money you pay will not be used effectively for water conservancy?"

"You kid, it's like you have a solution." The crowd laughed at Yunshu's arrogance.

"It's true that I'm a child, but I'm also facing the problem of paying water conservancy funds, just like everyone else. It's rare for everyone to gather here today, and it's better for us to put forward all the problems we are worried about and brainstorm together to find solutions, than to sigh here! ”

Yun Shu's words woke everyone up. They really want to find a solution, how to criticize a yellow-mouthed child.

The leading fat landlord saw that Yun Shu led the topic in a few words, and took everyone's attention away from him, and was very dissatisfied.

"I just came out of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate made it clear that we should go back and prepare the money and pay according to our respective shares. You're a little kid, and you're doing repetitive work here, and you clearly don't take us seriously. Whose family are you? ”

"It doesn't matter who I belong to, the important thing is that I am a landlord like everyone else. It doesn't matter if it's repetitive or not, the key is whether it can solve the problem. Are you going to give up and go home and prepare money? No longer fight for one or two? ”

Since these people are here for profit, it is more effective to know them for profit than to know them for reason.

Get back? Running for nothing today? Do you still have to pay so much money when you go back? It's really unwilling.

This child is handsome and elegant, and he talks extraordinary, like a scholar from a family, and he speaks to the point, but he is a little ignorant in the world. The mind of a reader is better than not reading. Someone breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You kid, what do you think of ghosts and elves?" ”

Yun Shu said: "I always have to find solutions according to the problem, I must first understand your demands clearly, and then I can think of a solution." Why don't you put forward all your demands, and let's analyze and analyze them together. What do you think? ”

Everyone nodded, "That's right." ”

Yun Shu beckoned: "Tea Xiaoer, borrow pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

"Okay." Soon put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

Yun Shu raised his right hand, wrapped like a dumpling, and was trying to find someone to write for him.

"I'll come." Yu Hong sat down at the table and winked at her. Yun Shu smiled in return.

Then everyone brought their big worries and demands together.

Yun Shu is also the first time to see Yu Hong writing, dignified and strong, that spirit Yun Shu likes very much.

Yun Shu prompted and asked, Yu Hong recorded, and wrote several pieces of paper with enthusiasm, and summarized it, but the most important thing was those ones.

overburdened, requiring the county to bear a part; Worried that all the money paid will not be used for water conservancy; worry that the quality of water conservancy projects is not up to standard; worried that the requisition of people to build water conservancy will waste the autumn grain in the fields; Fearing that water conservancy reform is only a temporary move above and will soon be abandoned; Those who are unwilling to pay simply suspect that water conservancy projects will not help increase grain production, and so on.

Put the pen and put the paper away.

"Your demands have been listed here, and I will bow down to the county lord to discuss the solution."

"You said it would be solved, right? Who are you? Child? The leading fat landlord was dissatisfied.

"In Xia Yunshu, the current head of the Yun family in Jiyang City, my family also has a lot of land in Qinghe County, and the issues that you are concerned about are also what Yunshu is concerned about. Yunshu will do its best, everyone and wait for the good news. ”

As a representative elected by everyone, he was robbed of the limelight by a yellow-mouthed child, and several other fat landlords were also dissatisfied. "Yellow-mouthed child, the tone is not small! At a young age, you can brag! ”

The other fat landlord seems to have a broader vision and has some understanding of the Yun family. "The Yun family in Jiyang City is everyone! How can a head of a family worry about such a thing himself? ”

Yunshu doesn't care. "Try it one more time, and you won't let everyone suffer because of it, why are you so dissatisfied? Besides, it is Yunshu who comes out, if the county master is to blame, it is also Yunshu who carries it, why should he look down on Yunshu's kindness so much? ”

An elderly landlord looks much more elegant, "Child, you are kind, but you are a child in this matter, and the county magistrate may not be willing to listen to your advice." ”

"Thank you for thinking about Yunshu. The outcome of this matter depends on Yunshu's ability. ”

"Anyway, the problems are those problems, and it won't be a problem to talk to the county magistrate about this. It's just that the county magistrate sees us pushing a child to talk to him, will he think he is angry? A careful and timid interjection.

Yu Hong, who had been silent, spoke: "If the negotiation is completed, everyone will benefit, and if the negotiation fails, Yunshu will carry it alone." You are not ashamed to say such a thing, aren't you? ”

"I, I'm also for everyone's good, don't you say?" The man said with a pull on his face. When everyone heard this, they were also a little hesitant.

"Which of you is going, then? Who went to guarantee that it would be negotiated? ”

The crowd was silent. This bargaining with the imperial court is unlikely to succeed, and besides, the most representative figures have already been there once, and they have found nothing, who wants to touch the nail again?

"Forget it, Shu'er, they don't need your kindness, let's just take care of our own affairs, let's go." Yu Hong put down the tea and pulled Yunshu to leave.

Yun Shu cooperated: "Brother, brother, slow down." "Turning back to the people, "Yunshu will remember your demands, and if you have someone better, you can go on your own." ”

Out of the teahouse, the wave of people was thrown away. Yun Shu said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Brother Hong, it feels good to have someone to speak for me!" ”

Yu Hong unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

"Brother Hong, is there anything wrong with what I did? Why did you pull me away all of a sudden? ”

"What we wanted to know, we all learned. We will do this seriously, and as for the result, we are not sure, and you can't easily promise them. If some of them really go to the Yun family to ask you for an explanation, isn't that asking for trouble for themselves? Besides, those people only think about the benefits, but they don't even dare to say a word of support, so what else do they have to talk about with them? ”

"Also, it's Brother Hong who sees the problem more clearly, and I'm almost caught up in their confused accounts."

Yu Hong squatted down and took out Yunshu's self-defense ring from his arms.

"It turns out that at Brother Hong's place, I thought I had lost it, but I don't know how to explain it to Master."

"Picked up on the bed in the cell. Although I won't let you run around alone when I go out this time, I'm still worried that there will be an accident, so you should take self-defense. ”

Yun Shu took the ring and looked at Yu Hong, "Since it's in Brother Hong's hands, why are you giving it to me now?" ”

Yu Hong felt as if he had been asked, but fortunately, his brain was flexible enough, and said: "I didn't take good care of you last time, and that incident still had a great impact on you, I'm afraid that you will be in a bad mood when you see it." ”

Yun Shu was stunned, that incident did have a great impact on her, but she didn't dare to tell her father-in-law. raised his hand to hug Yu Hong's neck and said softly, "Brother Hong, hug me." ”

I was talking well, but why was I suddenly hugged again? And he forgot to avoid it in a daze, Yu Hong was secretly annoyed. Raised his hand and gently patted Yun Shu's back, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, let's go." ”

Yun Shu let go of Yu Hong, lowered his head and fiddled with his injured hand and said, "My waist seems to be untouchable, and even if I touch it myself, I feel disgusted." It's not like a finger, it's good to take it back when it's broken. It hurts and hurts, but it feels strange. I wonder, am I broken? ”
