Chapter 310: The Debt Collector (1st Update)
Tang Erzhuang went out to find out, Zhang You saw Zhu Yijun yawning, and said busily: "Brother Zhu is tired all the way, go into the house to rest?" ”
Zhang Juzheng also instructed Zhang Ruoxuan: "Go and clean up my house." ”
"Don't bother...... I'm a little tired, I've never ridden a horse for so long, my bones are about to fall apart, where do you live? I'll go to your bed and lie down for a while, um, with the medicine, right? My leg must have been worn out by the saddle. ”
In the latter sentence, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang You, and Zhang You hurriedly said: "You usually ride too few horses, let's go, Lao Tang and they all carry the gold sore medicine I dispensed." ”
Hearing this, Bi Hongquan hurriedly took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Zhang You.
Zhang You took the bamboo tube and accompanied Zhu Yijun to his room, and the rest of the people looked at each other, these two people, the relationship is too good, right? Where are you still like a monarch!
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, you can come in too, well, and Li Qianhu, please push Mr. Zhang!"
Li Qianhu? Zhang You was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw Li Yan pushing the wheelchair, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked Zhu Yijun quietly: "Your Majesty, when did my aunt become Li Qianhu?" ”
Zhu Yijun smiled proudly, and also lowered his voice and replied: "Last night's incident, I wanted to go out of the palace to find you, discuss with my uncle, at the beginning I heard me say that I wanted to pay a private visit to Weifu, but he didn't agree, and then I couldn't help it, so I recommended her and Cao Aijin to be my guards." Cao Aijin said well, but she made me a little embarrassed, I didn't know what to call it, so I simply rewarded her with a brocade cloth and a thousand households. ”
The dignified son of heaven and his noble status actually don't even need to call Li Wenjin "uncle", they are all his courtiers - naturally it is impossible to call Li Yan his aunt like Zhang You.
It's not appropriate to call Mrs., people have never been married.
Zhang You gave Zhu Yijun a thumbs up.
Li Yan pushed Zhang Juzheng to wait at the door for a while, and after entering the house, Zhang You had already helped Zhu Yijun to dress up the wound medicine.
"Zicheng, move a chair for Li Qianhu." Zhu Yijun leaned on the bed and said with a smile, and asked Li Yan again: "Li Qianhu, tell me, how is the people's situation along the way?" ”
Li Shuo said: "Weichen is just a woman's family, he can't say anything, he feels poor, and besides, the weather is indeed too dry." ”
Zhang Juzheng interjected: "Beizhili was a big drought last year, and this year it is the same as usual, the harvest is not good, the people are naturally poor, and most of the people who ask for food at the major gates of the capital are actually displaced people from all over Beizhili." ”
Zhu Yijun's expression became heavy: "It's really too poor, and most of the people I met along the way were in rags...... Sir, if I have been in the palace, how can I know that my people are living such a life? Pointing at you officials? This is the land of Gyeonggi, the first good district. What about somewhere else? I'm afraid it's better than here, right? ”
This is very heartbreaking, Zhang Juzheng is a little embarrassed, but what Zhu Yijun said is also the truth, and he really has no way to refute it.
Of course, he also knew that Zhu Yijun was not accusing him, but just feeling it, and only in this way did he blame himself more and more. Since the Longqing years, he began to implement his own reforms when he was not the first assistant, and now so many years have passed, most officials still still hold the attitude that more things are better than less things, reporting good news and not bad news, and the ability to deal with political affairs is not necessarily much, but the skill of whitewashing Taiping is higher than one another, who suffers? It can only be the people at the bottom.
Zhu Yijun guessed his thoughts from Zhang Juzheng's expression, afraid that he would be embarrassed, and smiled: "Actually, it's not useless, public security is still okay, I didn't even see a fight on the way." ”
Zhang You said as if he couldn't get along with him: "Brother Zhu said that it was a micro-service, after all, it was discussed with my father-in-law, he is the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor, and there must be some arrangement." My aunt's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not small, and she has released a little wind, who dares to commit crimes against the wind at this time? ”
Zhu Yijun was stunned and looked at Li Yan, Li Yan smiled awkwardly: "Brother Yi specially instructed that it is not a matter of humble duty, besides, Your Majesty came out to check the people's situation, not to inspect public security, and it is the duty of humble duty to come out safely and return safely." ”
Zhu Yijun finally understood, and sighed: "I don't blame you. After a pause, he said: "Looking at the lives of the common people, I am really chilled. A few years ago, Liu Ru was the Yin of Shuntianfu, and Shuntianfu reported a bumper harvest every year, and now it is Cao Limin, so he naturally has to report a bumper harvest, otherwise the Ministry of Officials will give him a mediocre performance test...... Mr. just said, last year Zhili is also a big man, what is the gentleman from the Shuntianfu newspaper, do you remember? It's still a good harvest, right? ”
By the time he said this, his face had become completely gloomy, and he got out of bed, pulled his shoes and walked towards the door.
Tang Erzhuang's voice happened to come from outside the door: "Young master, young master......"
Zhu Yijun's heart was as stuffy as pressing a boulder, and he wanted to go out to take a breath, but when he heard the words, he opened the door with his hand, stepped past the threshold, and asked Tang Erzhuang, who was standing under the steps: "Have you inquired clearly?" What's the situation? ”
Zhang You looked at Zhang Juzheng, and secretly thanked Tang Erzhuang for coming in time.
Zhang Juzheng let out a long breath softly, and secretly sweated for his student Cao Limin.
Tang Erzhuang said: "Back to Young Master Zhu, it is a mother and daughter, a tenant farmer in Wangjiazhuang in Miyun County, who is in charge of a poor talent, and his livelihood depends on the mother and daughter. Last year's harvest was not good, the family could not open the pot, borrowed from the east to survive until this year, a few days ago I really couldn't borrow, the mother and daughter stole the green seedlings of the owner and sold, and now they are about to harvest wheat, so they fled to the county to avoid debts, just now they were inadvertently bumped into by the landlord, forcing them to go back to pay off the debts......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yijun had already stepped down the steps.
The three people in the house heard it clearly, looked at each other twice, and Zhang You said, "It's okay aunt, you stay in the house with my father for a while, I'll take a look." ”
Zhang Juzheng advised: "Don't make trouble, Your Majesty's safety is important." ”
"I understand." When he spoke, Zhang You's people had already arrived outside the door.
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Li Yan, who was a little blushing: "You can also go and have a look, just the two of them, they are still a little worried about being a brother." ”
Li Yanru was pardoned and hurried out.
While a few people were talking in the room, it was already dark. Zhu Yijun walked out of the small courtyard, settled down at the door first, and then walked in the direction where the cry came out not long ago.
At this time, Zhang You and Li Yan had already chased after each other, and they didn't let other guards follow, just the two of them protected Zhu Yijun.
"In the seventh year of Wanli, you borrowed seven taels of silver from me, and the interest on adding three is not high, right? After selling the green seedlings in my field, you got another ten taels, and after calculating the principal with interest, you should pay me back thirty-two taels and three dollars. ”
A male voice came, and he said crisp and loud in a sharp voice: "Niece and daughter-in-law, I am also a big family, people eat horses and chew horses, who gave you the guts, sold the green seedlings without permission and left, so many people can't find it?" It's a shame that you're still the master of the family, why did you become a shrew when you failed? ”
