Chapter 248: The Caravan Arriving at the Beginning of the Lunar New Year

People die for money, birds die for food, everyone knows that the officials in the yamen are greedy for money, but they didn't expect that the greed for money has reached such a point.

After all parties in the county knew the news of Jin Er's offer, they had a little admiration, this style really sticks to its original intentions, even if there is a big risk between life and death, it should still be deducted.

Those who have read the book have remembered a song "Grab the mud swallow mouth, sharpen the iron needle, scrape the gold Buddha face and search carefully, and find something out of nothing." Quails are looking for peas, herons are splitting fine meat on their legs, mosquitoes are fat in their abdomen, and the old man is at a loss! ”

Many people couldn't sleep this night, some people tossed and turned on the kang, and some people didn't even take off their clothes, and from time to time they walked into the courtyard to look in a certain direction, which was where Jin Er's house was located, and everyone guessed whether there would be a fire at night.

After dawn, the families inquired about the news, and no one in the county town caught fire at night, and no one was suddenly killed by bandits at night, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Da still hasn't returned to the city, according to the news that came back, this young master is still practicing those refugees, if it weren't for the previous killings of those fire and doors, looking at Zhu Da's normal state, maybe everyone would really think that he had nothing to do with the killing of Zhang Inspector.

Some smart people speculate that this Zhu Da will definitely not return to the city, if he and Qin Juren are both in the city, then there is a risk of being wiped out, so their father and son will not be both in the city, or one in the city, or both of them are outside the city.

Some people also told Chang Kai who returned to the city about this speculation, and now Chang Kai is a popular figure in the county, everyone can't reach Qin Juren, and they don't dare to flatter Zhu Da, but Chang Kai, as a local servant in his hometown, has some face that can't be opened, and the person who said this speculation has no malicious intent, just wants to set it up, Chang Kai just scoffed after hearing it, in his mind, Zhu Da didn't care about this risk at all, how could this small Huairen County stop such a big guy.

In fact, Chang Kai heard the news that Inspector Zhang was killed later than other people in the county, but after hearing it, Chang Kai was more sure than anyone that Zhu Da was killed, because too many clues and speculations can prove this, and even the drastic change in Widow Zhou's attitude is also proof, but Chang Kai has no sympathy for Inspector Zhang, he is now on the side of Zhu Da, and if anyone offends Zhu Da, he can't wait for that person to die in the whole family.

Moreover, Zhang Inspector was killed on the street, which made Chang Kai also feel that he had risen to the top, as evidenced by the flattery and eagerness of all parties in the county.

There is also news in the county office, saying that Ai Zhi County and the master discussed this matter, and in the end it was helpless, so he could only write an official document with an ugly face and report to Fucheng, people who know the officialdom know that this matter is unsubstantiated, if it is investigated deeply, it will endanger itself, and can only pinch his nose and be punished from above, no wonder Ai Zhi County and his staff have ugly faces, they are already seeking to be transferred, and as soon as the incident of killing officials and rebelling on the street comes out, I am afraid that they can only stay in office.

It is said that there has been a major case of killing officials and rebelling in the jurisdiction during his term of office, and as the chief official has to bear the first responsibility, it is possible to seize the official and go to prison, but the affairs in the officialdom have always been vague and ambiguous, although the location of the county is tempting, but what oil and water can the suffering Huairen County have, and this file shows that there are risks, and who will do the poor and risky errands, or let the county be ambiguous.

This is a chain reaction, when everyone knows that Ai Zhi County will not be able to leave for a while, they all realize that they must flatter Qin Ju and Zhu Da, because this shows that there will be no change in the situation in the county, Qin Ju and Zhu Da are still the strongest side, if a new county order comes, maybe there will be unwillingness, a fight, Ai Zhi County has learned a lesson, knows how to be powerful, naturally will not have any thoughts.

Not only there is a chain reaction in the county, but even the Grange has a similar reaction, when Zhu Da trained the refugees to be young and strong, he found that he listened to the command the most, and was the most awe-inspiring, and it was actually the young poor people in the county, and their concentration and intentions even exceeded those of the family members, which made the family members not to be left behind, and worked hard to catch up, and the two parties worked together to urge the refugees to train, compared to the past, the training effect of this day was actually the best,

The reason is very simple, the young people who came to take turn today have heard all kinds of rumors in the city, and the flamboyant inspection is a big man who needs to be looked up to for them, who would have thought that they would be cut down by Zhu Dadang Street like this, who is not in awe of this young master, and even many young poor people have taken refuge, and now there are people who envy Fu Yu and Meng Tian.

The refugees are also very energetic in training, because they are getting more and more fed, and even the life of their families is good, and there are two reasons for them to serve wholeheartedly, one is the wool weaving business, watching their mother-in-law keep consuming wool, although they all think that this young master is absurd and loser, maybe such a loser also shows that the capital is abundant, and the other reason is the awe beyond confidence, or fear, people who are a little more sensitive can feel that the two days of Master Zhu and Master Zhou are particularly scary.

Although I don't know the details, the frequency of Zhang Dazhu's deliveries is becoming more and more frequent, indicating that his private workshop should have been established, and now the training of the refugees is no longer empty-handed, when everyone runs in line, they are holding wooden poles of the same length in their hands, only the length of the poles used by the family members is rotated, and only the family members in charge of the warehouse know that the length of the short wooden pole is the same as the length of the axe gun.

At the beginning of the training, the children in the Grange were willing to go over to watch, and the boys and girls were happy to watch, but until now, most of the girls in the Grange are afraid to come and see, and I heard that there are those who are scared and crying when they are watching, only the boys are happy to watch, and even the half-grown children and adults are willing to come and see.

There is also news from the refugee woman to Mrs. Chang Kai, and then from Mrs. Chang Kai to Zhu Da, saying that her husband, her own son, and her own brother are becoming more and more like men.

The next few days were ordinary, seeing that they were about to enter the lunar month, and the plan to regain the ownerless wasteland was still advancing, but the officials who handled and handled the errands had to go to Qin Juren's mansion every other day to report, although Qin Juren just listened, but everyone did not dare to be the slightest slack.

The Datong Mansion on the case of Zhang Patrol was killed, and the magistrate of Huairen County was severely reprimanded, fined Yu Lu for one year, and ordered him to be strictly investigated, but there was no time limit for solving the case, and there was no mention of who would succeed the inspection, which made Huairen County understand the attitude of the above, the killing of officials and rebellion is indeed a big case, but the nine-product inspection in a dilapidated place is really too lazy to pay attention to, and no one is even interested in this vacated nine-product inspection official position, so there is no need to worry about the follow-up, as for the year that Aizhi County was fined, Naturally, there is a way to make up for it, and it will even be made up several times, more than ten times.

The result of this incident made people admire Qin Juren and Zhu Da even more, and felt that they planned and then moved, thinking that Qin Juren let Zhu Da take action after considering the consequences and the situation, and more and more determined that Qin Juren was the leader and Zhu Da was a minion, no one could have thought that Zhu Da's actions were his own decisions and decisions.

On the third day of the lunar month, there was heavy snow in Huairen County, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this snow made the county government up and down very excited, because this indicates that their newly allocated ownerless wasteland will have a good harvest in the coming year, pieces of snowflakes look like grains of grain and copper coins, and the Li family caravan from Daizhou arrived at the same time as this snow.

It has been more than a month since the last time I saw the Li family caravan, and around the month of Layue, there are fewer and fewer caravans in Shanxi and Datong, because everyone is in a hurry to go home for the New Year, Zhu Da thought that seeing the Li family caravan again should be in the new year, and may not even see each other again, but he didn't expect that in the month of Layue, the caravan came to Huairen County.

Leading the team is Li Yuan, who is now the new leader of the Li family's caravan.

But everyone could see that Li Dian was still unable to convince the public, and the caravan that came to the Grange was full of vigilance, and even pushed back to the order of the caravan leader, which made Li Dian very embarrassed.

“...... Why don't you stay in the city and come to this place for what the hell......"

“...... These groceries we bring can be sold at a high price in the health center, can we sell them in this poor place......

“...... It is estimated that it will take a few more places to sell out, this less master is really confused, this time out, it is troublesome to sell goods and receive goods, I am afraid it will be more troublesome, in the first month of this lunar month, the ones that should be sold out have already been sold out......"

“...... Stay away from the car, the things in the car are very valuable, do you have to pay if you break it......"

The caravan workers spoke coldly, and they didn't even deliberately lower their voices, and their attitude towards the whole grange was also very bad, if it weren't for Zhu Da's subordinates who were not easy to mess with, I am afraid that there would be noisy and scolding.

This kind of behavior does not give the main family any face, and Li Di, who was standing in front of Zhu Da, had a red face and a look of shame.

In fact, the young caravan leader himself did not have much confidence in his heart, the grocery caravan before and after the month of the month faced by the main buyers were mainly for the New Year's goods, the merchants who walked Datong all knew that the most generous customers in their hands were the border generals and guards, and the soldiers and military households were bitter haha, but the military attachés and generals had money in their hands, and the place was very poor, and they couldn't sell too many things, and such merchants like the Li family caravan, in addition to selling goods, also came from acquisitions, but close to the wax moon, Whether it is the goods on the grassland or the local specialties, what should be sold has long been sold out.

The stewards and men in the caravan have been with Li Yuan's uncle for many years, and they have a lot of experience in doing business, and everyone can see that Li Yuan has made a lot of mistakes that should not be made.

Li Dian understood the emotions of the people below, and he also knew that he had made a lot of mistakes, but Li Dian still wanted to gamble, Li Dian wanted to marry Zhu Da, so he came to Huairen County with a caravan full of goods at this time, regardless of opposition, but he really saw the neat but very shabby grange, which was still outside the county seat, and Li Dian couldn't help but be a little shaken.
