Chapter 164: The Little River Passes in Front of My Door

Remembering yesterday, the little river passed in front of my door, and now it is broken; The gas dissipated, and I asked Xiaohe to go over there.

That's what Steward Chen and Steward Zhang thought.

One day, just one day apart, there was a big change in the master-slave status of the two people, and both of them had mixed feelings in their hearts.

The day before yesterday, that is, the day before yesterday, Steward Chen felt that he stepped on the clouds, how could he think that he would be kicked down and flattened all of a sudden, looking at Steward Zhang's appearance, listening to what Steward Zhang said, he felt that it would be good if it was a dream, Zhang's family, it is indeed not a wasted name.

Steward Zhang is not in a calm mood at this time, the little boy is the little son, not moving like a mountain, moving like thunder, two Zhuangzi, with the little boy in charge, it seems that there is nothing to worry about, as long as you go forward, whether you are in trouble, or you are wronged, you don't have to be afraid, you will be stable when you return home.

Finally, Steward Chen bowed his head, "Steward Zhang, I have offended a lot in the past two days, and I would like to ask you to take this as a dream, what do you say?" ”

"Dreams? Whether it's a dream, life is a dream, don't complain about a dream in life, wake up, no matter the gains and losses, the sky is still the sky, the earth is still the earth, the people are still the people, this water, still can't change. ”

Steward Zhang will not release the water because of Steward Chen's words, and he will have to sail here in the future, and after the diversion, the water level is not enough at all.

Chen Gengxin came over with a group of people to prepare to demolish the dam, and when he saw that the people on the Zhang family's side were almost five times as many as them, and there were people with crossbows in their hands, they reluctantly suppressed their thoughts, and saw that the housekeeper could no longer get things done, so he had to stand up and say to the housekeeper Zhang:

"This must be Steward Zhang, good, good means, but the river doesn't seem to belong to the Wang Ge family, right? If this is the case, wouldn't the people living on both sides of the Yellow River be able to divert the Yellow River at will? ”

"The road of the Chen family can belong to Zhuangzi, why can't the rivers of Wang Ge's two families belong to the two families? This is Sanshui County, if Lord Chen's family is not convinced, he can go to the Yamen to complain, more than 700 officials in Sanshui County, maybe they will act impartially and arrest the people of Wang Ge's two families.

Or Master Chen's family wrote an excerpt upwards, impeaching my lord for bullying the people and bullying the water, ignoring the common people, my lord is in the capital, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be arrested, don't say the imperial examination, and go directly to the Chang'an cell, oops, forget it, Lord Chen's family is not an official body, and he can't hand the fold upwards.

In this way, Lord Chen's family went to the capital in person and went to the county magistrate Pei to complain, if you feel that there is no way to find the way, you can find the lord Bo, that is, the Cheng county order of Sanshui County. ”

Steward Zhang is naturally not afraid of whose family the river belongs to, your Chen family has the ability to occupy the road and return to the village, but my Zhang family has no ability to occupy the river?

Chen Gengxin also thought of this, even if he spent money to impeach, then someone came to investigate, and he would definitely find out about his family's occupation of the road, thinking of this, he took a few steps forward, came to the butler's side, and slapped Steward Chen's face before everyone reacted.

"It's all a good thing you did, while I don't care about family affairs, you actually cut off the river and block the road in private, and wait until I go back to see how I clean you up."

After beating people, Chen Gengxin turned to Steward Zhang and said: "Steward Zhang, I am not strict under my rule, if there is any place to offend Steward Zhang, please ask Steward Zhang to do a lot of Haihan, this water ......?" ”

"Master Chen's family, this water has been diverted, it is impossible to change it back, Lord Chen's family is a nobleman, and he has no time to take care of such things on weekdays, so it's not easy to take care of it at this time, so let it be."

Steward Zhang is now sad for Steward Chen, look at it, the benefits are taken advantage of, and if something happens, he will be used as a person who is angry, this housekeeper is really not easy.

Chen Gengxin thought that a slap would be enough, but he didn't expect the Zhang family to be so difficult to speak, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I don't know if Mrs. Zhang of the main family is there?" I have some deals related to cloth and silk here to discuss with the Zhang family, and the Zhang family also has a cloth trade in Beijing, right?

I don't have the final say on the deal, there are other bigger cloth shops here, just take this opportunity to introduce Mrs. Zhang, and the water matter is not in a hurry. ”

Steward Zhang understood as soon as he heard it, no wonder this Chen Gengxin dared to do something to the Zhang family, it turned out that there were some people in the cloth shop who were related to him, and saying this could be regarded as a threat.

Steward Zhang was about to tell Xiao Gongzi about this, and suddenly thought that when Xiao Gongzi came, he said that he would take care of the affairs with the Chen family alone, since this is the case, then he can't find Xiao Gongzi, thought about it, and said: "Master Chen's family doesn't know, the business of the shop in the capital has been bad, and it is about to close."

The business in the restaurant is okay, but can Master Chen's family have the help of those who open the restaurant? Then I'll go back and discuss with the lady of the main family, and I can't help with other things. ”

Chen Gengxin didn't expect the Zhang family to be so tough, even if he would rather close the deal than release the water, he frowned and thought there, not knowing what to do for a while.

Steward Chen, who was slapped in the face, finally couldn't help but stand up and said: "Don't deceive people too much in your Zhang family, your head of the family went to Beijing to take the exam, and the Chen family went bankrupt, so he couldn't pass the exam." ”

"Who's that powerful? can manage the imperial examination of the imperial court, this Hou Ye looks, the ability is great, in this way, isn't your Chen family let whoever wins the champion, who can win the champion? I don't know who the examiner is this time, is it possible that you already know, let's listen to it, let Ben Houye also see it. ”

Li Xun didn't know when he shook over, but he happened to hear Steward Chen's words, and asked with a calm face.

"Joke, joke, don't take it seriously, Steward Chen has something wrong with his brain and often says the wrong thing." Chen Gengxin hurriedly explained beside him, and at the same time glared at the housekeeper, didn't he know to look at the people around him when he spoke?

Li Xun turned his head, looked at the head of the Chen family, and said, "Master Ben Hou sees that you have something wrong with your head, otherwise, how could you use such a housekeeper?" How dare you fight the idea of the Zhang family, there are people who have a cloth shop, amazing, I don't know how much that cloth shop can help you? ”

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Hou Ye said is that there is something wrong with his head, and the cloth shop is a business, where is there anything to help and not to help."

Lord Chen's family didn't dare to say some things about the cloth line, his status there was not high, and this was the critical time of the imperial examination, how could the people in the cloth line come out for him to provoke the master.

"In that case, what are you still doing here? It's nothing more than the river has been rerouted, which river has not been rerouted? If you're making a fuss, go back first, and wait for this master to think of some ways with you. Li Xun said the matter of the river diversion easily, waved his hand, and coaxed these people to come like flies.

The head of the Chen family showed a wry smile, didn't dare to stay longer, and said goodbye to Li Xun while leading people back.

Waiting for the people of the Chen family to leave, Steward Zhang immediately came over and asked Li Xun, "Little Houye, why are you here?" ”

"Shall I not come here? The water on my Zhuangzi has also been cut off, I have to come over to see where the water is drawn from, this year the Li family Zhuangzi is also planting rice, and the seeds are in charge of your family. Of course, Li Xun will not come to demolish the dam, and plans to come here to see where he can dig a small hole, and he will find someone to make a ditch out.

Steward Zhang had a bottom in his heart, and when he heard Li Xun's words, he said: "Little Houye, you don't need to draw water from here, there is a small river coming down from the mountain in front of our house, which is less water than here, but it is still enough for the Li family Zhuangzi, as long as it rains, there will be more water, look at this day, it seems that there will be rain in a few days."

Xiao Hou Ye might as well dig a river over there to lead it over, and the two families of Zhang and Wang will also have water available in the pond and well, and open an opening here to block up the trouble. ”

"That's okay, I can just help the Chen family, the Chen family has more than 3,000 acres of land, and it's not easy." Li Xun thought for a while and said.

Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Little Houye, do you want to help the Chen family?" ”

"Of course, this Hou Ye will not be on any side at this time, this Hou Ye has the people of the world in mind, help, must help, spring ploughing can not lack water, five times a day, no, this is too much, one acre of land is two hundred Wen, and then it will be five or five points with your family.

Well, what about 200 yuan, a family of 100 yuan, every year in the future, you can't ask for too much, an acre produces about three stones, it is only a few hundred yuan, take out 200 yuan, and there is not much left, but water can't be given in vain, right? ”

Li Xun calculated there, he wanted to collect 200 wen for one mu of water, so calculated, unless the Chen family also planted rice, the price of rice was higher, and if you planted something else, you would lose money, and if you didn't use much water, the grain produced would be less than four white wen for one mu more.

Steward Zhang was dumbfounded when he heard it, the rent paid by the Zhuang households on the Zhuang Zi is counted, even if the main family wants more, it is not too much, otherwise the Zhuang family will starve to death, according to this money, the Chen family normally collects rent from the Zhuang households, and one mu will have to pay sixty or seventy yuan.

If you want to pay more, then the farmers don't have to live, unless the rice they grow has the same yield as the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang, on average, more than four stones per mu, and if you want to make a fortune by farming, it is impossible.

Especially Li Xun's last sentence, it is like this every year, that is to say, the Chen family loses money every year, as long as they still want Zhuangzi, then don't expect to make money, it is nothing more than to be able to get some food and put it at home in case of emergency.

"Little Waiter, do you want too much? In case they add this money to the farmer, the farmer will not be able to live. Steward Zhang reminded in a whisper.

"It's not good to live, my family is short of people, this Hou Ye has the people of the world in mind, you can find a way for them to live, cheaper can become, one hundred Wen an acre, or fifty Wen, this Hou Ye also wants to get a shop that sells cloth in Beijing, just right, they don't have a cloth shop, this Hou Ye has the people of the world in mind, help them sell some, your store does not need to be closed, buy some cheap cloth to sell."

Li Xun hit the idea of the cloth shop again, and now he is helping the Zhang family and wants to stand up for this matter.
