Verse 23: Return home

This time you put him in front, you just have to watch from the sidelines, and then come back and report to me in detail how he handled things. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info - Wang Shi

"Lord Yu, I had already driven him away, but he did me a great favor in the matter of the last batch of Persian goods, and I had to reward and punish him clearly so that the people below could do things, so I had to keep him. The two adults were relieved that he would definitely be the most faithful servant here. Wang Shi explained.

"A faithful servant? That's fine, and it will also help your chamber of commerce. Li Jiang said.

"That's natural."

"But while Lord Yu is here, I'm going to come up with a question to see if he can be made." Li Jiang showed his fox tail.

"Try him?" Wang Shi was puzzled.

An hour later, Wang Shi asked Lao Yu to call Ren Liang in the room.

"Lord Wang, are you looking for me?"

"I know you've been busy learning martial arts recently, but I can't let you completely put your work away, I want you to follow Manager Yu to Bianzhou Fengqiu."

"Bianzhou?"

"I heard your home is there."

"Yes."

"You can go home and have a look there, I haven't seen my relatives in a long time."

"Got it, I'll do as Lord Wang tells me."

Ren Rail went back to the house and began to pack his luggage.

"What? Do you want us to go to Bianzhou to seal the hill? Will that county order Li Tian still embarrass us? Ah Niu asked.

"They don't know what to do with us. We didn't break the law. Ren Rail replied.

"But I'm still not at ease."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, we can also add soil to your father's grave and pay respects."

"If that's the case, that's fine."

Wang Shi began to explain to Lao Yu, and Lao Wang said: "This time, you put him in front, you just need to observe on the side, and then come back and report to me in detail how he handled things." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang."

"If that bull still makes a mistake, you can dispose of it."

"Understood, sir."

Lao Yu snickered in his heart, even if he can't clean up you Liu Zhengze, then that friend of yours Ah Niu will make him look good this time.

After spending eleven days on the road, Ren Liang and the others finally arrived at Fengqiu, Bianzhou.

"Ha, rightly, it's been a long time since we've been back, I think it looks like we haven't been back for years." Ah Niu saw his hometown and said excitedly.

"Do you think you're here to play? There's still something to do, go fast. Lao Yu urged.

"Okay, Manager Yu." Ah Niu hurriedly nodded and said.

It turned out that Wang Shi had sent them to various villages and towns in Fengqiu County to collect most of the peasants' arrears.

After Yang Chen, the representative of the farmers in various villages and towns, asked Ming Lao Yu and the others about their intentions, he stretched his face and said, "What does your name mean?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lao Yu also said with a gloomy face.

"The accounts we all owe to your account are obviously good, and we will return them to your account at the end of the year and before the New Year."

"Now that there is a big chaos today, there are displaced people everywhere, Lord Wang can't wait for the end of the year, you should hurry up and find a way to raise money."

"Hey, Lord Wang has always had a good reputation, how can this be."

Lao Yang said, sighed and walked out of the room, just in time to meet Ren Liang and Ah Niu outside the door.

"Hey, Ah Niu, are you working under Lord Wang?" Lao Yang asked in surprise.

It turned out that Lao Yang was also a distant relative of Ah Niu's family, and there was a year of severe drought, and Lao Yang also funded Ah Niu's family.

Lao Yang chatted with the two in the side room.

It turned out that the Sui Dynasty government imposed heavy taxes on farmers, and Lao Yang and others could not afford to pay so much money, so they had to borrow money from Wang Shi's firm, and generally as long as they repaid the money and interest on time, then the firm would always lend them money.

"Ah Niu, your father was so thrifty and borrowed money from the firm, what are you doing now? It should look pretty good at you. Old Yang said.

"Well, I'm just an errand guy." Ah Niu was vain for a while, and did not say that he was a porter.

"Being able to follow the manager to do things should be very important to Lord Wang, right?"

"A little bit."

"Ha, that's great, if you want to help me this time, it's up to you."

Ah Niu had no choice but to set his sights on the benevolent track.

After some discussion, Ren Rail proposed to Lao Yu to repay the loan at the end of the year or a grace period of three months.

"Manager Yu, I know that these people are more serious than anyone else, this year's harvest is very poor, I promise that the harvest will be good in the future, and they will definitely pay off the arrears." Ren orbit.

"I know, I'll think about it, you guys go down first. Oh, by the way, Liu Zhengze, I sent three hundred yuan to your family, which was rewarded by Lord Wang, and when you return to Luoyang, you remember to thank you. ”

"Got it."

After Ren Liang and Ah Niu left Lao Yu's room and came out. Ah Niu said: "I really didn't expect him to talk like that, could it be that the sun came out of the west?" ”

"Ha, ha." Ren Rail smiled.

"Zhengzheng, you go quickly, I haven't been home for a long time, let's go home and have a look."

"Okay, Niu, goodbye."

Ren Liang walked away, and Lao Yu came out and said to Ah Niu: "I heard that you used to be a good grain grower, and you also sold grain?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Yu."

"Then you can tell the grade of the grain, I don't know if I should trust you or not."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I mean, I don't know if I can trust you to take care of our food business."

"Ah, of course."

"Come with me."

Lao Yu brought Ah Niu to the room and confessed for a while.

"Ah, what? Me? ”

"What? Can't you? ”

"This ......"

"You haven't forgotten what happened last time, have you?"

"I didn't forget, but I ......"

"I can get you out of the Chamber of Commerce because of this. But I'm giving you a chance to atone for your sins. Remember, this is your last chance. ”

When Ah Niu heard this, there was a fierce struggle in his heart.

Ah Niu returned to his hometown and came to the burned ruins of his home, dazed.

"Ah Niu, you are back, you must be very sad to see the old house in ruins. For the sake of your deceased father, we shouldn't let this place remain like this. But everyone was busy making ends meet and didn't have time to do anything. Tang Wu, the old man in the village, came over and said.

"It's okay, don't worry about that."

"Ah Niu, you will come to my house later, I asked my wife to fry two more dishes, and we will have a few drinks with the two of us."

In Fengqiu County, the governor Yu gave the newly appointed county commander He Zhaoqing 2,000 yuan.

"Ha, Manager Yu really has a heart."

"It's a little bit of our Lord Wang's heart, and this time we also have to thank Lord He for his care."

"Alas, Lord Wang doesn't have to be so polite. My predecessor, Master Li, has already said that I will do my best to help. ”

"Lord He, do you know someone named Liu Renliang?"

"What? How did you come to know him? ”

He Zhaoqing turned out to be a county lieutenant under Li Jiang, and he followed Li Jiang for many years, and Lao Li was promoted, so he was promoted to the county order of Lao He Dang, and Lao He naturally knew about Liu Renliang's "bad deeds" back then.

"He works as a helper in our chamber of commerce, and he came with him this time."

"In the past, because he turned the entire Fengqiu upside down, he almost stirred up a popular uprising."

"Yes, I've heard that."

"He may hinder your mission this time, so be careful. Liu Renliang is a troublesome person. Lao He said indignantly.
