Chapter 20 Solving Problems and Solving Problems
In their eyes, this is Tianwei to punish the unfilial people.
Mo Weibao straightened up and sighed slightly: "Alas, it seems that if we don't pay all the taxes and grain, God is going to punish us." ”
Damn, is Mo Weibao a god stick or a township chief? He actually knows how to use this method to coerce ignorant peasant households to pay taxes and grain. Song Wenjian secretly screamed in his heart.
Sure enough, when those lieutenants heard Mo Weibao's words, their faces showed panic. "What are we going to do? Do you want to be a soldier or sell your land? ”
Song Wenjian helped Dai Wang up: "Dai Lichang, do you believe me now?" I will allow you to not only have food to eat next year, but also pay your taxes. ”
"Engong, your life was saved by you, and I will do what you ask me to do." Dai Wang looked at Song Wenjian excitedly.
I beat Song Wenjian just now, the situation at that time was very dangerous, and Song Wenjian might also be struck by lightning, but he still pulled himself out of the tree, so a person like Dai Wang believed in Song Wenjian.
Don't talk about paying taxes and grain, even if Song Wenjian asks Dai Wang to die now, he won't frown.
"Alright, let's go back and wash it first." Song Wenjian looked at the yellow mud all over his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Seeing that the matter was about to succeed, Mo Weibao happily called a carriage to come over and carry Song Wenjian and them back to Mo's house.
Song Wenjian cleaned them out, and Mo Weibao, who was smiling, was already waiting outside the courtyard. "Young Master Song, I have already booked a banquet at the restaurant in Weizhen, let's talk while eating."
"Okay, let's go now." Song Wenjian was also hungry, and he wanted to eat a good meal to replenish his body, anyway, they came here to ask Mo Weibao to pay for a treat.
According to Mo Weibao's original arrangement, only Song Hua and other people from the yamen were invited to dinner.
But just now after listening to what Song Wenjian said about borrowing usury, Mo Weibao beat Xiao Jiujiu, thinking that in the future, he would ask the farmers to come to him to borrow usury, so he would inevitably ask these lieutenants to advise, or let the lieutenants have a good meal and drink.
With short hands and soft mouths, won't they work hard for themselves when the time comes? Thinking of this, Mo Weibao smirked.
When the lieutenants heard that Mo Weibao invited them to dinner, why didn't they follow?
Yangqingwei Town is much worse than Suixi County, the county is still paved with cheap bluestone bricks, but this is a yellow mud land, there are many puddles of water in the area just after the rain, and the horse-drawn carriage passes by, and the splashed water sprays to passers-by.
Passers-by saw that it was the Mo family's carriage, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
That restaurant is not far from the Mo family, just a tea kung fu is there.
Song Wenjian changed into a dress of the second son of the Mo family, and felt a little more uncomfortable.
Song Wenjian got out of the car, and Dai Wang, who had also changed into the clothes of the Mo family's servants, came over and asked in a low voice, "Engong, are you really sure that we will have ten stones per mu next year?" ”
"As long as you listen to me, you will be sure." Song Wenjian said.
Dai Wang has been calculating, borrowing one stone today, he will pay back three stones next year, and if a few acres of land at home can harvest ten stones per acre, he should be able to survive next year's difficulties.
"Okay, Engong, I listen to you, the lives of our Bali farmers are in your hands." Dai Wan cried out through gritted teeth. "However, I want Lord Song to vouch for it."
Dai Wang also had a heart eye and tied Song Hua together.
"Brother Wang, are you really following the second fool?" A lieutenant came over to ask Dai Wang.
"Ah dog, if you dare to insult my father-in-law, I can't spare you." Dai Wang shouted with a big fist.
The elders were muttering together, and they didn't make the same decision as Dai Wang did.
Mo Weibao knew that these lieutenants couldn't run out of his palms, so he hurriedly beckoned everyone to go upstairs to eat first, and not to stand at the door to affect the restaurant's business.
The owner of the restaurant prepared two tables of dishes in the morning, and when he saw Mo Weibao and them coming, he immediately asked the man to serve the food.
When the lieutenants saw the wine and food coming up, they all ate like hungry wolves.
After Mo Weibao ate something, he pulled Song Hua to the side. "Lord Song, you have worked hard this time, this is a small meaning and not a respect." Mo Weibao took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and gave it to Song Hua.
Song Hua worked so hard to ask the second fool to act there, and he couldn't mean anything.
Seeing this, Song Hua said with a straight face: "Township Chief Mo, I, Song Hua, am not that kind of person. This is my job, don't bribe me. After speaking, Song Hua returned to the wine table and drank a little wine.
During this time, the Song family's life was very poor, and he hadn't drunk much for a while.
Hehe, his son also ate very happily, seeing that he was so thin that he didn't grow much meat.
Mo Weibao saw Song Hua staring at Song Wenjian, and suddenly realized, and slapped his palm on his head.
Alas, why are you so stupid? As a county magistrate, how can Song Hua accept his own money in person?
Song Hua has already hinted that everything is on the second fool.
Today, the two fools said what they didn't dare to say, and they took a lot of credit.
However, it is thanks to a brainless person like the second fool that he will risk his life to save Dai Wang, and it is impossible for a normal person to do that.
"Young Master Song, come over here." Mo Weibao pulled Song Wenjian over and took out the one hundred taels of silver ticket just now. "It's hard money for your father."
"Ahh Song Wenjian looked at the one hundred taels of silver tickets and was surprised. I didn't expect to come down and inspect it, and I could get a hundred taels, which can be described as very oily and watery.
No wonder Chen Huatao and other officials are living comfortably, it turns out that there is a doorway here.
Seeing Song Wenjian's expression, Mo Weibao thought that the money was not enough, so he gritted his teeth and took out another one hundred taels of silver tickets. "Young Master Song, this is already a lot, don't be too little."
Mo Weibao thought that Song Wenjian had received Song Hua's explanation, and he would receive a certain amount of money.
Song Wenjian took the two hundred taels of silver tickets, turned around and went back to eat meat.
Father is too fair and doesn't know how to be tactful, so that the people below will not support him. Even if you don't want money, your subordinates still need money to eat.
Okay, Song Hua finally accepted it, and after eating for a while, we can talk to the lieutenants about borrowing usurious money. Mo Weibao was excited.
Everyone was full of food and drink, and Song Wenjian and his father were muttering things quietly.
"Ahem, young master Song, it's almost time now, shouldn't you tell me about lending money to farmers?" Mo Weibao cleared his throat and reminded Song Wenjian.
It's hard to be a fool for this second fool, it is estimated that he can't remember the lines, and he has to ask Song Hua again. It's not easy for Song Hua to take these two hundred taels.
Mo Weibao was still distressed about the two hundred taels of silver just now, and now seeing this father and son like this, he is not so distressed.
When Song Wenjian heard Mo Weibao say this, he couldn't help but raise his head strangely and asked, "Township Chief Mo, did you guess that we were going to borrow money from you?" ”
"Hehehe, I didn't guess, but as the head of a township, I have to solve problems for foreign farmers. Say, how much food or money do you want to borrow? Mo Weibao patted his chest and smiled wickedly.
Now I have only received 1,000 stone of grain, and there is still a gap of 9,000, so if I calculate conservatively, I may have to borrow 6,000 or 7,000 stone, and if I pay it back three times, I will make a lot of money.
PS: The toothache is terrible, but I still gritted my sore teeth and worked hard to write the book, for the sake of me working so hard, everyone collects and votes for recommendations.
