It doesn't matter if it's a joke or not, Xia Wei really dislikes it anyway.

In the end, the two of them quickly slipped in front of the local government office, only to see that not only the whole town was sloppy, but also that the government office looked a little dilapidated.

“…… If I remember correctly, this imperial court allocates silver subsidies to officials in the north every year, why does this government look at it so casually? Xia Wei looked up at the official mansion and couldn't help but complain.

Xiao Changye, who was next to him, thought for a while and said, "Either this silver subsidy was embezzled by the people above, or ...... It was the officials here who used the silver for other purposes. ”

"Corruption...... Probably not. Xia Wei said, "After all, this is directly allocated here, even if someone above has the courage to embezzle these silver taels, they don't dare to embezzle all of them." ”

Otherwise, the officials here must not make trouble?

In any case, the officials in the north also have official positions, who does not know anyone in the court?

If you dare to embezzle all these silver taels, wouldn't that be like stabbing a hornet's nest?

"What is going on, you will find out when you go in and find out." Xiao Changye smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xia Wei's head, "Let's go, if the officials here can listen to us, it will be the best." If they don't listen......"

"With you, do they dare to listen?" Xia Wei tilted her head and blocked back with Xiao Changye's previous words, "It's really not good, you can still use your force value to conquer them, right?" ”

Xiao Changye was choked by Xia Wei's words, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Finally he smiled, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Soon, the two men stepped forward and knocked on the door, waiting for the people inside to come out.

However, after waiting for a while, they didn't see anyone knocking on the door, Xia Wei and Xiao Changye couldn't help but glance at each other.

“…… What's going on? Xia Wei blinked, "Could it be that our knock on the door was too quiet, so we didn't hear it?" ”

Xiao Changye shook his head: "I don't know." Then knock again? ”

That's all there is to it.

So Xiao Changye knocked back a few more times, and deliberately increased his strength, for fear that the people inside would not hear their knock.

The two of them waited for a while before someone finally slowly opened the door.

If you look closely, it turns out to be a slightly rickety old man.

"The two are ......"

The old man looked at Xia Wei and Xiao Changye with some confusion.

"This is the besieged mansion, but you two are in the wrong place?" The old man spoke again.

"No, the two of us are here to find the besieging lords." Xia Wei bowed slightly and said, "I'm Xia Wei, and this is my husband Xiao Changye." The two of us are here for the siege and for the food and clothing of the people of the whole north. ”

The little old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xia Wei and Xiao Changye with some confusion: "...... For the sake of food and clothing for the people? ”

"Exactly." Xiao Changye next to him nodded, "I wonder if the old man can introduce the adults here for the two of us?" ”

"This ...... How do I know that you are telling the truth? The old man thought for a moment and said, "Are you merchants?" Got a lot of grain? What if you two deceive me? ”

"We are not merchants, and we don't have a lot of food." Xia Wei shrugged her shoulders, "As for whether what we said is true or not, old man, can you let us meet with the adults to know?" Anyway, at most, it will be a waste of time, and if what we say is true, then won't the people of the north be blessed at that time? ”

Anyway, it's not a loss, is it?

When Xia Wei said this, the little old man thought about it seriously, and finally nodded: "Okay, those two, please wait a while, I'll go and ask my family." ”

"There is labor." Xiao Changye nodded.

After a while, the little old man walked out: "Please come in, my family is already waiting." ”

"Hmm."

Xia Wei and Xiao Changye nodded, and soon walked into the mansion under the leadership of the little old man.

I walked in and took a look, but I found that the whole mansion was really "the same on the outside and on the inside", and it was dilapidated from the outside, and it was also very dilapidated from the inside.

Xia Wei and Xiao Changye couldn't help but glance at each other, but they didn't say anything, just waiting to see the besieging adults later.

I don't know...... What kind of person will the adults in the city be this time?

Soon the old man led the two people to the living room of the house, and he beckoned to the two people: "Please wait a moment, your lord will come immediately." ”

"Okay, there's work." Xia Wei and Xiao Changye both nodded.

It's just that after sitting down, Xia Wei and Xiao Changye couldn't help but mutter—didn't they just say that the adult was already waiting for them, why did they wait a little longer now?

But this is a minor issue, so don't worry too much about it.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the inner hall, Xia Wei and Xiao Changye looked over there, and saw the little old man who had changed into slightly more decent clothes.

Xia Wei and Xiao Changye were a little speechless for a while. 361 Reading

“…… Well, are you...... Besieged adults? The corners of Xia Wei's mouth twitched, "Could that just now be your brother?" ”

Otherwise, how can two people look exactly the same?

"Oh, no, he is an only child, and he has no brothers or brothers." The man smiled and walked to the main seat, "The main thing is that there is no one in this mansion, but after all, it is an official mansion, and it is just necessary to support the scene, so it is up to me to come down." ”

After saying this, Rao is Xiao Changye felt a little surprised.

This is...... Self-directed and self-acting, good at drama?

Xia Wei and Xiao Changye couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Ahem, I see, understand, understand." Fortunately, Xia Wei and Xiao Changye both had strong receptivity, and they quickly accepted this matter.

"In the next surname Zhou, the name is purple, and the word is Weitong." Zhou Zi introduced herself, "Miss Xia, if you don't remember wrongly, you should be the original eldest princess of Anning, right?" ”

Zhou Zi looked at Xia Wei with a smile and said.

Hearing this, Xia Wei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Oh? Why does Master Zhou feel this way? Don't you think it's going to be the same name? ”

"Miss Xia is really joking, this Xia is a national surname, who dares to take this surname at will?" Zhou Zi looked at Xia Wei with an expression of "you are teasing me", and looked quite happy, "What's more, it still has the same name as the eldest princess of the dynasty?" ”

Saying that, Zhou Zi shook his head and smiled: "And the name of the former eldest princess, although the eldest princess Xia Wei was ordered to be demoted to a commoner at that time, her name is still in use. ”

To sum up, who else could this person in front of him be besides the former princess Xia Wei?

"Oh...... I see. Xia Wei nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that Lord Zhou knows quite a lot." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Zi snorted, "Then let's talk about the topic first." Just now, the two of you said that there is a way to solve the problem of food shortage for the people in the north, so can you ask what the specific method is? ”

After all, it is said that there is no large amount of food, and there is a way to solve the food problem......

Anyway, Zhou Zi didn't come up with any good solution.

So he was curious about what Xia Wei and Xiao Changye had planned.

He really had some expectations, after all, he had also heard of some of Xia Wei's deeds in the past, and this was a strange woman.

Maybe...... Can this time also bring miracles?

"Well, there's a sentence that Lord Zhou has never heard?" Xia Wei also sold a pass, "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." ”

“…… Well, I've heard of it. Zhou Zi nodded, "What does Miss Xia want to say?" ”

Xia Wei blinked her eyes, and said in her heart that this Lord Zhou is quite down-to-earth.

"What I mean is that instead of giving away food and opening porridge sheds, it is better to teach people how to grow food."

After she finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

Xia Wei and Xiao Changye were still very calm, but Zhou Zi was a little confused at this time, and the whole person looked at Xia Wei in a daze.

I probably couldn't relax for a while.

“…… Wait, you should have heard me right, Miss Xia, what you just said was teaching the people how to grow food? Zhou Zi looked at Xia Wei with a black question mark face, this expression was quite funny, "Miss Xia, didn't you come here to entertain me Zhou?" ”

The economy of the north is not very good, and the farmland in the north is a little barren, and the grain produced by this cultivation is not much per mu, which is much less than the grain per mu in the south.

However, the population in the north is still large, so it is no wonder that the people in the north are not hungry.

Coupled with natural disasters such as locusts and bandits, anyway, there are often famines in the north, and the people have not eaten the last meal, and probably only the kind of rich man who lives well, like ordinary people who can eat enough is already very good.

"My husband and I came here so far, how could it be to entertain you, Lord Zhou?" Xia Wei looked at Zhou Zi innocently, "I'm serious about this, Lord Zhou can't see that I'm serious?" ”

After speaking, Xia Wei also blinked at Zhou Zi very sincerely, and the expression on her face was also serious, trying to make Zhou Zi feel serious and serious.

“…… With all due respect, I really didn't see it. Zhou Zi looked at Xia Wei expressionlessly, and spit out this sentence in a slightly loveless tone.

Xiao Changye, who was next to "poof......", couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw this scene, no way, Xia Wei and Zhou Zi really had a feeling of talking cross talk when they were resting together, it was really funny.

"What are you laughing at, I'm serious and serious, okay?" Xia Wei on the side turned her head and glared at Xiao Changye, and said angrily.

She was seriously talking to Zhou Zi about the people and food, but Xiao Changye was happily demolishing the stage next to her?

She couldn't bear it.

"Ahem, I was wrong, I was wrong, ma'am, you continue." Xiao Changye hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered.

Zhou Zi on the side: "......"

Thanks, offended again.

After all, he is so old that he doesn't even have a wife.
