Chapter 166: Meet the Lord (Ask for Subscriptions, Recommendations, Collections)
Facing Huang Xiucai's inquiry, Xu Guangqi looked at Zhu Youzhen. Without King Xin's permission, Xu Guangqi didn't dare to reveal his identity casually.
Seeing Xu Guangqi's eyes looking at him, Zhu Youzhen nodded helplessly.
Brother, you ask for my opinion so obviously, and people are not blind, how can you not guess that my identity is higher than yours.
In fact, this time Zhu Youzhen was just thinking too much. Huang Xiucai was lying on the bed, and he couldn't see Xu Guangqi's inquiring eyes at all.
"This is His Royal Highness King Xin." Xu Guangqi stood up and solemnly introduced Zhu Youzhen's identity to Huang Xiucai.
"His Royal Highness King Xin?" Huang Xiucai was stunned by the identity of the young man in front of him. He saw that Zhu Youzhen's background should be extraordinary, but he never expected Zhu Youzhen to be so extraordinary.
God, he's a prince! Such a young prince!
Huang Xiucai struggled to get up and salute. When the prince arrived, it was too rude for him to lie on his stomach.
"You have injuries on your body, you don't need to give a gift to Lonely." Zhu Youzhen saw how difficult Huang Xiucai was struggling, and directly spoke to stop him.
"The folk woman thanked His Highness for his grace on behalf of her grandson." Huang Liu stopped weeping, knelt down on the side, and bowed down.
"Excuse me. Hurry up. β
At such a close distance, Zhu Youzhen realized that in fact, the woman in front of him should not be too old. Her old appearance was more due to her dress and haggard countenance.
Zhu Youzhen had a good impression of the woman in front of him.
met Huang Xiucai, a husband who has ideals, ambitions, is a little naΓ―ve and a little stupid. was forced to move from the county seat to the countryside, and was even forced to live in a dilapidated thatched hut, but he was able to calmly keep his home in order and take care of his injured husband properly. This woman is really not easy.
She and Zhou Xiucai are really a perfect match.
Zhu Youzhen has always been unwilling for good people to be aggrieved. For the temperament of this husband and wife, he also wants to help.
In fact, Zhu Youzhen has always hidden a dream of Bao Qingtian in his heart. When the micro-service goes out on patrol, isn't it this feeling of Bao Qingtian?
Here's your chance.
"Then who are the Feng family brothers?"
Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to speak, Xu Guangqi asked angrily.
"Brother Feng? They are the largest grain merchants in the county and the largest sub-money merchants in Dong'an County. Huang Xiucai said hatefully.
"You know that they put in the Yinzi money, but you dare to borrow it?" Zhu Youzhen started the disgusting question mode again.
"At that time, the mother of the family was gone, and the family's money was invested in the transformation of the fields, and the family was really poor. The Feng brothers came to the door and were willing to pre-harvest the sweet potatoes in the field. That money is considered a fixed amount of money for the purchase of sweet potatoes in advance. I never thought that I wouldn't be able to pay off my debts with sweet potatoes! β
Huang Xiucai had a look of remorse, "I really didn't expect them to be this kind of person!" β
Understood, Zhu Youzhen straightened things out in his heart.
Huang Xiucai wanted to promote sweet potato cultivation - took the initiative to become a grain chief - set up a cooperative - he went bankrupt to transform the field - the Feng brothers lent him usury in the name of ordering sweet potatoes - after the field was renovated, the farmers regretted it - Huang Xiucai was completely in a desperate situation.
Well, that's how it should be.
I carefully went through the process from my heart.
"Alas!" Zhu Youzhen sighed softly.
Judging from the whole process, Huang Xiucai is completely to blame!
No one forced him during the whole process.
There is no mistake in the actions of the Feng brothers, at most, they don't understand what they said when they borrowed money, and the interest rate was set a little higher, but what they did was in line with the norms of this era.
The county government is not wrong. Huang Xiucai has been in arrears for two years, which is already very face-saving. He can't be allowed to be in arrears for the rest of his life.
In the whole process, it seems that the only ones who are at fault are the farmers.
"What are you going to do with those farmers?" Zhu Youzhen asked Huang Xiucai.
"I'm dizzy, he wouldn't have thought about it at all, would he?"
Zhu Youzhen looked at Huang Xiucai's blank expression, so he had to explain further: "If you pay the farmers to renovate the fields, the farmers don't owe you money." You owe money and you should pay it back, right? β
"This, this ......" Huang Xiucai didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You help them transform their fields, and they should grow sweet potatoes with you and sell them for taxes, right?" Seeing that Huang Xiucai didn't seem to be able to turn a corner, Zhu Youzhen patiently helped him.
Huang Xiucai nodded stupidly.
"Then they don't listen to you now, and they don't grow sweet potatoes. This doesn't count, so shouldn't you be repaid for renovating the fields? Well, they should still have to pay the taxes they owe, right? Zhu Youjian slowed down his analysis.
Huang Xiucai seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he still nodded.
"That's right, I'll help you find the culprit who killed you?" Zhu Youzhen seemed to have a pair of small horns on his head, and a mouthful of white teeth appeared in his smile.
"You can find those farmers and get back what they owe you." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
Obviously, Zhu Youzhen was laughing, but Huang Xiucai felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and he said expectantly: "They have no money, and their lives are very hard." β
"None of them have any money, you think they're all pitiful, don't you?" Zhu Youzhen still said with a smile.
Huang Xiucai swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and he nodded again.
"You ......" Zhu Youzhen suddenly changed color, and he reluctantly swallowed back the last few words.
"You're going to ruin your own family, do you still have the heart to pity others?"
Pointing to the dilapidated house, Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly: "Look at it, look at it, what has become of your home, aren't your wives and children pitiful?" β
Hearing Zhu Youzhen's roar, Huang Xiucai's wife stood aside and burst into tears again.
Huang Xiucai was like being struck by lightning, fell softly on the bed, and didn't raise his head for a long time.
Xu Guangqi was a little unbearable, and gently pulled Zhu Youzhen's sleeve.
"Lone admits that your ideas are good, your ideas are right, and your conduct is noble. It's a pity that everything you're doing doesn't seem quite right.
You worked hard, and even lost the lives of your wife, children, and wealth, in exchange for a tragedy.
When your family is broken and your wife is separated, has sweet potato been promoted?
No.
Have the livelihoods of those farmers improved?
Nor did it.
I don't know if you have ever thought about it, when your tragedy spreads all over the world, will anyone do the same thing again? Who else will do this kind of stupid thing that tragedy is in front of it? Who can send everything in their house to the altar like you? β
Zhu Youzhen reprimanded Huang Xiucai with righteous and solemn words, and the whole person exuded a solemn and dignified aura.
When he said this, Xu Guangqi nodded again and again.
King Xin said, quite a Zigong redeems slaves, and Zilu receives the essence of Confucianism.
Zhou Xiucai listened to Zhu Youzhen's tirade and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he turned over, grunted, forcibly rolled off the bamboo bed, and lay down in front of Zhu Youzhen in a five-body posture.
"Your Highness King Xin, am I wrong in my thinking?" Zhou Xiucai raised his head with his arms and asked in a hissing voice.
"You're right." Zhu Youzhen replied softly.
"I don't care about my life, did I do all these things wrong?" Zhou Xiucai fell to the ground, trembling all over. The wound on his leg had soaked bloodshot from his violent movements.
"You're not doing anything wrong." Inspector Zhu You sighed and said heavily.
"Then why, did I end up like this?" Zhou Xiucai tilted his head and stared at Zhu Youzhen, his face full of tears.
"You're right, it's this society that's wrong." Zhu Youzhen said heavily.
"The only thing you're wrong is that you're doing more than you're capable of. What you want to do, you don't have enough power to protect it. Zhu Youzhen said clearly.
"Your Highness, do you have the strength?" Zhou Xiucai asked suddenly.
"I," Zhu Youzhen pointed to himself and said loudly, "I have." Although my strength is not great, it is enough to gradually realize your dreams while protecting yourself. β
Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen's words to land, Zhou Xiucai threw himself to the ground, bowed down in front of him reverently, and shouted with a crying voice: "Meet the lord." β
