Chapter 49: Feudal Superstition

Song Wenjian was a little angry: "What is the curse of God? Who is talking nonsense? ”

"Young master, this is what our townsman said, not nonsense." Dai Wang shook his head and retorted to Song Wenjian.

Song Wenjian was strange, Dai Wang usually obeyed him, but when he said what kind of rules he was, he actually contradicted him. "Is it true that when you plow is also determined by the gods?"

"yes, yes." Dai Wang nodded desperately.

Song Wenjian is about to faint, feudal superstition kills people.

Whether it is in the township, in the county, or in Leizhou Mansion, there are some gods and goddesses who are engaged in feudal superstition, and people must invite them to come over if they want to do something or something.

"Then you don't listen to me, will you sow seeds in the near future?" Song Wenjian asked.

Dai Wang said: "Young master, you can invite the gods to come over and do things, if God lets us sow seeds, then sow seeds." If God refuses, then we don't dare. ”

Song Wenjian heard Dai Wang say this, so he won't talk about it for the time being.

After a short rest, they went to Suborton's house.

The courtyard of the Su family is very large, no worse than Mo Weibao's house. The pair of stone dogs in front of the door were bigger than those in the township.

Damn, being rich is different.

Dai Wang ran up and knocked on the door hard, and in a moment, the door of the Su family slowly opened, and two domestic servants in short clothes walked out. "What's the matter with you?"

Dai Wang shouted loudly: "This is our new Song Wenjian Township Chief of Yangqing Township, you hurry up and report to your master, just say that Song Township Chief has come to visit him." ”

One of the servants turned around and walked inside, and it didn't take long for a voice to come from inside: "I heard that Township Chief Song is coming, it's really a long way to go." ”

Su Botong is a short, fat middle-aged man, his eyes are half-squinted when he laughs, and he looks amiable.

But Song Wenjian doesn't think so, which one can be a rich man?

"Hello, Master Su." Song Wenjian crossed his hands and greeted Su Botong.

Su Botong turned his head and scolded the servant next to him: "Where are your eyes?" This is the son of the lord of our county, and now he has come to be our township head. ”

"Master, is that the second fool township chief?" The servant next to him whispered.

Wu Guanhai was furious when he heard this, and when he was about to step forward to teach the servant a lesson, Song Wenjian signaled to him to calm down.

"Master Su, let's go inside and talk." Song Wenjian said calmly.

Su Botong secretly wondered about Song Wenjian's cultivation skills, he knew what Song Wenjian and them were over, thinking about making the servants angry with Song Wenjian and others, and waiting for the servants to be beaten, and then sending off the guests under the pretext.

But Song Wenjian said that he wanted to go inside to talk, so he had to let Song Wenjian in.

Song Wenjian looked at the rockery and flowing water in the Su family, and when he was in the courtyard of the small pavilion, he secretly called Su Botong rich.

The maid of the Su family brought tea and water to Song Wenjian and others, Dai Wang's face was excited, he was a countryman, and he had never been treated like this.

Su Botong glanced at Dai Wang and asked, "Dai Wang, you don't do farm work at home?" ”

"Boss Su, you don't know, I'm from the township now." Dai Wang deliberately puffed out his chest and said loudly.

"Pounce." Su Botong just took a sip of tea and couldn't help but squirt out.

Two fools are two fools, they actually went to find farmers to come over to help the township, these mud legs, who will listen to them?

When Dai Wang saw Su Botong laughing at him, he was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Song Wenjian didn't go around in circles anymore, "Master Su, let me say it directly, this time my father secretly told me that you are a gentry with great benevolence and wisdom, please support my work, and borrow money and grain to pay taxes and grains to the farmers in Yangqing Township at an interest rate of one and a half times, and a month later, my father will guarantee you to be the head of Yangqing Township." ”

Su Botong shook his head secretly, if there was no task of taxing grain, he would be willing to be the head of this township. But this year's drought in Yangqing Township, whoever takes over will be finished.

"Township Chief Song, I can't help you, you can find someone else. The old man still has something to do, so he won't send it. Su Botong stood up and walked to the courtyard.

I don't know what's going on, Su Botong's legs are weak, and he is about to fall. The servant next to him hurriedly helped him and walked carefully inside.

Song Wenjian asked strangely, "Master Su, what's wrong with your feet?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to go." Su Botong waved off.

Out of the Su family, Wu Guanhai worried: "Young master, Su Botong refuses to borrow money, how can it be good?" ”

"Why don't we go to another house and ask." Dai Wang said. "This Subotong dog looks down on people."

Song Wenjian shook his head and said: "It's useless, no matter which one it is, it's such an excuse." Looks like I'm going to have to find another way. Dai Wang, you hurry home and come over early tomorrow morning to run errands. ”

"Okay, I'll go back now." Dai Wang said.

Back in the township, Song Wenjian had dinner and wrote something in his room.

There are not many places in this township, but there are many rooms, even if there are dozens of people, there is no problem.

Wu Guanhai and Jian Yuping laid out the mat they brought over and went to bed early.

Early in the morning, Song Wenjian got up on time to exercise, Wu Guanhai and Jian Yuping were martial arts practitioners, and they were also practicing in the courtyard.

Old man Hong was sent out to buy breakfast, and he heard that breakfast also had his own share, so he was elated.

"Young Master, what kind of skill are you practicing?" Wu Guanhai saw that Song Wenjian's military body boxing was a bit special, and he couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Hehe, I'm playing by myself, not martial arts." Song Wenjian said with a smile. "Guanhai, yesterday you asked you to send some water and fire sticks and waist knives to the yamen, have you arrived?"

One of the best places in the township is that you can fly pigeons to pass on the book and contact the yamen.

Yesterday, Song Wenjian asked the yamen to send twenty sets of clothes and weapons from the yamen, but the money still needs Song Wenjian.

"It should arrive." Wu Guanhai put away the waist knife.

Sure enough, there was the sound of a carriage arriving outside at a stick of incense, and Wu Guanhai and the others went out to see the official car of the yamen delivering goods coming.

These things cost more than ten taels of silver, and when Song Wenjian paid for it, Wu Guanhai watched from the side and felt distressed.

The official car left, and Wu Guanhai said, "Young master, how much money do you have?" ”

"It's not enough for twenty taels." Song Wenjian took a waist knife and tried it, and found that the knife in the government was different, it was much sharper than the outside, no wonder it was so expensive.

"And you're spending money indiscriminately?" Wu Guanhai complained.

Song Wenjian said with a smile: "Guanhai, you don't understand this, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." If Dai Wang's weapons in their hands are not good, what will they do today? ”

"Errand today?" Wu Guanhai was puzzled.

At this time, Dai Wang and the others also came over to respond.

Song Wenjian asked Jian Yuping to calculate the money and grain reported by the chief of each li, fifteen li, he could only pay 2,000 stones, plus the 1,000 stones collected by Mo Weibao before, and he still owed 7,000 stones, according to the current price of grain, the discounted silver is 4,200 taels.

"Young master, where are we going to find so much silver?" Wu Guanhai sighed.

"Hehehe, don't worry, I'll have a way." Song Wenjian smiled confidently.
