Liu Shu nodded and arched his hand: "Childe is clever." ”

Shen Kang chuckled and said, "What kind of magic calculation? It's just that he thinks that he is here for the New Year alone, or on foot, naturally it can't be as simple as just paying a New Year's greeting, Huang Sanyuan was originally a teahouse guy, it should be that the teahouse no longer invites him because of taxes, and he wants to come here to beg for a living. ”

Liu Shu nodded again and said, "That..."

Shen Kang said: "Go and give him a pot of hot tea, take some snacks to fill his stomach, and then let him wait for me in the front hall." ”

Wei Wuyi asked with a smile on the side, "Childe wants to keep him?" ”

Shen Kang said with a smile: "In a few days, we can go to the craftsman to get the gyroscope, and we will leave Suzhou Mansion in front of us, is this house still deserted?" ”

Wei Wuyi said: "Childe asked Huang Sanyuan to take care of the house? ”

"Yes." Shen Kang said: "His family is a land-sitting household, he knows the roots, and he is not bad, if he is willing to sell himself to me, I will keep him." ”

As a talented Shen Kang, he already has the right to have a slave, although he doesn't like the act of buying and selling human beings, but this is a guarantee for him, and he will not treat others badly, for the current Huang Sanyuan, isn't this a good choice?

Liu Shu and Wei Wuyi went out together, and Shen Kang bowed his head to the desk again, wanting to finish copying the words on this page.

Besides, Huang Sanyuan, after waiting in the ear room for a while, he saw Liu Shu and Wei Wuyi coming back together, and the two of them came in with tea and snacks.

Huang Sanyuan was already cramped, but when he saw the two of them entering the door, he hurriedly got up and gave his hand: "Little Brother Liu, Brother Wei." Then he reached for something.

"Let me come, let me come."

Liu Shu smiled and said, "You can sit down." Then he put down the tea and snacks and sat down himself.

Huang Sanyuan sat down again and said with a smile: "The style of your dim sum is something we haven't seen in Suzhou City." ”

Liu Shu said: "Childe wants you to come all the way, I'm afraid you're thirsty and hungry, let's prepare these, you pad your stomach first." ”

When Huang Sanyuan heard this, his stomach screamed uncontrollably, a warmth rose in his heart, and his face was also grateful, and he said, "It's hard for the son to think about the small one." As soon as he said this, he choked up in his throat again.

Liu Shu poured tea for him, pushed the teacup in front of him, and asked, "What difficulties do you have?" Here is our brother, you can say it, if you need Childe's help, the two of us can also help you say a few kind words in front of Childe. ”

Huang Sanyuan sighed deeply and said, "Hey! Brother Liu is worthy of being a person who has read books, and he can see through it at a glance, I, I'm really desperate. ”

As he spoke, Huang Sanyuan's eyes turned red, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe his eyes with his cuffs, and said, "Let the two of you laugh." ”

Wei Wuyi said: "You can talk while eating, don't cry." ”

Huang Sanyuan nodded gratefully, held the teacup in both hands, and took a sip of tea tremblingly. The teacup was placed on the table and said, "You live outside the city, do you know something?" The tax supervisor sent from Beijing to Suzhou Mansion will be in chaos in Suzhou Mansion. ”

"Before he came, there were rumors that he was going to raise taxes. But I think that if we want to increase taxes, it is also to increase taxes for those machine owners, and to increase taxes for those big bosses, which has nothing to do with us, the small people, but thinking that after the tax increase, the store will naturally deduct our monthly silver, so I also have some resentment against him. ”

"Who knew that a few days ago, the tax collector suddenly said that the Suzhou government loom, in addition to the tax, will pay three coins of silver for each machine, and three cents of silver for each horse of silk fabrics. This is simply not a human life, a loom can weave fifteen horses of cloth per month, tax silver needs five yuan, cut out the effort, planing off the raw silk, and earn five dollars of silver. In ordinary people's homes, five dollars of silver is considered a good income, but now the tax of three dollars of silver is increased, and the machine owner can only earn two dollars of silver. Two coins of silver! ”

Huang Sanyuan smiled and said: "The two of you don't know, weaving fifteen horses a month, that is to tire bad people, but you can only earn two dollars of silver, if you continue to work, the silver earned is not enough to spend, but if you don't do it, it's a pity." In the following days, the government issued notices one after another, and all merchants increased taxes by 20%, which caused chaos in Suzhou. ”

Wei Wuyi asked, "Why is it messed up?" ”

Huang Sanyuan said: "You want to! If the tax is high, how can the merchants be satisfied? Since they are doing tricks and feet on the goods, some of them are starting to lack catties and short two, and some are raising the price, and the people have earned less, and the price of this rice and grain goods has become higher again, can it not be chaotic? ”

Wei Wuyi nodded suddenly and said, "I see, this tax collector is too hateful!" ”

Huang Sanyuan hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Brother Wei is silent!" ”

Wei Wuyi was slightly stunned, and Huang Sanyuan said: "It's okay to say this in the house, if people hear it, I'm afraid it's going to cause trouble." ”

Huang Sanyuan paused, lowered his voice, and said: "I heard that the eunuchs are all missing things, and people's hearts will be broken. ”

Having said this, Wei Wuyu nodded and said, "I know, I know, we don't invite disasters or cause trouble, he can't find us." ”

Liu Shu smiled, and then said: "Then Suzhou City is a prosperous and rich place, where can he be willing to eavesdrop on our wilderness, hahaha, don't worry about the two of you, which green onion is it......"

Huang Sanyuan thought about it, and it was the same thing, smiled, and said: "In the past few days, Gongzi doesn't need anyone here, so I went back to the teahouse to work, but the shopkeeper said that there was no business, and I couldn't afford to hire anyone. ”

Wei Wuyi grinned and said, "You'll be looking for someone." ”

Huang Sanyuan said: "I, I know that the son is kind-hearted. ”

Liu Shu said: "Don't make fun of him." Then he looked at Huang Sanyuan and said, "You fill your stomach first, and I'll ask the meaning of the son for you." If the son lets you in for a while, you have to know how to advance and retreat, don't let the son get bored, don't beg for a life when the time comes, and cut off the way back. Think about the chaos in the city, I don't know how long it will take, and the wife and children in the family will have to eat, remember? ”

Huang Sanyuan hurriedly got up and gave his hand again and again: "Thank you Little Brother Liu, thank you Little Brother Liu!" If Childe is willing to give me a way out, I will never dare to talk about any conditions, you can rest assured! ”

Liu Shu got up, nodded, and said with his hand: "You are a smart person, you know how to do it, just wait." As he spoke, he looked at Wei Wusu and said, "Let's go." ”

Wei Wuyi nodded, and the two of them left the ear room again.
