Chapter 118: The Real Cunning (Part 1)

After many days, I returned to my hometown, as soon as I entered the village, the strangers were connected, the chickens and dogs smelled each other, and the familiar villagers laughed and greeted each other, in the face of this calm rural scene, Wang Fulin couldn't help but feel a little homesick. This time, it was a hot day all the way back, and now that he was in his own village, he got off the slide rod to let Kang Da and the two take a breath. Along the way, he often met a few villagers, and he already knew it very well, and he was not stunned when he smiled and greeted him. And his reputation in the city has also spread back here, and the villagers look at him with a little more awe than they are close.

is close because he is from his own village, and he is in awe because Wang Xiaoguan has become famous recently! In the rumors, Wang Xiaoguan has been rumored to be surrounded by more than a dozen big men, and he forcibly took down the notorious Shao Yuanwai, this great achievement really amazed the villagers!

Wang Fulin also knew that the three of them had become tigers, and everyone was golden, but looking at the strange expressions of everyone, he was embarrassed to ask what the people in the village had heard. When he came to the garden of the Wang brothers, after making a report, he saw Wang Daoguan personally greeting him, and he quickly appreciated the power of rumors. Along the way, Wang Daoguan explained all the various versions of the rumors with a smile, until he saw that beads of sweat the size of beans had appeared on Wang Fulin's sideburns, and he said with a smile: "But this is fine, in the future, fewer people will ⊕ beat your idea." ”

Uncle, can you be serious?

Wang Fulin wanted to remind him like this, but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them back. is just such an idler who has to put gold on his face while swimming in the wild, reminding him that it is also useless to be serious! So, he simply coughed. Divert the topic and find out from Zhao Sicheng. Wang Shangning explained the possibility of making waves behind his back. The next moment. He saw Wang Daoguan sneer.

"That old guy doesn't pee and take pictures, to see what kind of virtue his two younger brothers and a bunch of nephews are, and he wants to compete with his eldest brother? His nephew is far from being the leader of the Hui Gang if he wants to become the leader of the Hui Gang. ”

Probably thinking that the weather was too hot, Wang Daoguan was like those rough men, and directly wiped his sleeve on his face, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that he wants to attack the prestige of the eldest brother on the one hand, so that the eldest brother has no way to enter the court and hinder his nephew's affairs; On the one hand, he made up his mind to do the matter of Junping Xia tax silk. pasted gold on his face, and confirmed the name of the first eunuch in She County. It's just that for his own selfishness, he has repeatedly forced the county master to that role, and he is really not afraid of retribution in return. Breaking the county order, destroying the door order Yin, this is not a joke. ”

Wang Fulin didn't comment on Wang Shangning in front of Wang Daoguan, in fact, he had seen the old man once, listened to Master Li's comments twice, and heard Wang Shangning's gossip from Ye Qinglong's relay. As for political achievements or something, after all, he is not a local official. Ordinary people can't say much, most of them are the same beautiful words, and they are not as good as Wang Daokun's anti-Japanese exploits that he talked about in the mouths of those people. Although he hated the old man who might have calculated himself again and again, he still didn't take Wang Daoguan's words casually, but asked, "Uncle, I don't know what happened to Mr. Nanming's recovery?" ”

"It's almost done, but it shouldn't be a place to live, it's to carry the burden." Wang Daoguan saw Wang Fulin looking at him, he had to spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't look at me, just because I don't know myself, that's why I can only answer you like this." Go back and ask the eldest brother, maybe you can ask something. ”

You can't even ask, and you expect me to ask?

It was still in the thatched hut before, when Wang Fulin saw Wang Daokun again, he saw Wang Daoguan gushing endlessly, and he explained these joints clearly in a moment. And Wang Daokun is naturally not as irritable as his younger brother who is more than ten years younger, squinting his eyes and groaning for a while, then he thoughtfully tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I didn't expect Wang Shangning to think about it so much." ”

After evaluating Wang Shangning's series of actions in such a simple few words, he looked at Wang Fulin, smiled and said, "Ye County respects Meiyi, thank you for me when you go back." If I guessed correctly, if Wang Shangning really pushed the previous things behind the scenes, he would not give up, and his wife would continue to promote the matter of equalizing the summer tax silk until the tax was completed this summer. The biggest possibility is that he will provoke a backlash in the township, so that this year's summer tax will not be collected. When the time comes, in order not to eat and hang, Ye Xianzun will definitely choose to give in. ”

Wang Fulin knew that he was just seeing the tricks before, and if he wanted to take precautions, he didn't have enough ability to know too little about this era, so he wanted to sincerely ask the treacherous and cunning Wang Daokun. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Wang Daokun's face-to-face teaching was appropriate, he actually pierced this most fragile weakness, and his face changed greatly.

Wang Daoguan simply replaced Wang Fulin and asked, "Big brother, what should I do about this?" ”

"The summer tax is the right item of the country, and it is absolutely forbidden for some people to shame Shexian because of their own selfishness. I heard a few of my friends in Nanzhili write to me that this year, some prefectures and counties in the area of Su Changsong in Nanzhili and Hangzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province have been hit by floods and droughts. These places are the most important places for the imperial court to pay taxes, and they also have to bear the heavy responsibility of transporting white grain. If the summer tax in She County is really not collected this year, and the entire Huizhou Mansion will be affected, maybe it will be sent to white grain. ”

Flying white grain? What does that mean?

Although Wang Fulin is no longer the first brother at the beginning, he is in the county seat, and he has eaten the entire twenty-two volumes of the Jiajing version of the Huizhou Mansion Chronicles, and he is still slowly gnawing the Hongzhi version of the Huizhou Mansion Chronicles recently, and he already has some understanding of the current era, but Wang Daokun still understands the second half of the sentence. And when he went to see Wang Daoguan, he saw that this second master Wang was as dazed as him, and obviously didn't understand the meaning of Wang Daokun's words at all.

Wang Daokun saw that his younger brother and cousin didn't understand, so he didn't sell Guanzi, but explained slowly: "The so-called white grain is the japonica rice and glutinous rice levied by the imperial court from the five prefectures of Susong and Changjiahu, and the Lu rice used to distribute officials is a selection of grains. One stone of white grain is worth even more than four or five stones of ordinary white rice. But what is even more tricky is that the grain has to be transported north to the capital, the road fee is high, and the storage has to be exploited by the Yaxing family and the eunuchs. The grain chief who is on this errand is the real family ruin. Because the five prefectures were often insufficient, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, also undertook this heavy work in the early years. Even so, once in a disaster year, the white grain harvest is not even, it will be sent to the south and other prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, and the Huizhou Mansion has been sent several times, each time the chief of the prefecture and county is anxious, and the gentry and the people are complaining. ”

Uncle Wu Tianbao, and Zhao Sicheng's younger brother served as the grain chief this time, and he might have to pay for the broken leg, Wang Fulin heard that the situation was already quite miserable, and at this moment he heard Wang Daokun say that his family was ruined, and he couldn't help but feel cold. Even Wang Daoguan couldn't help but ask in a difficult voice: "Big brother, according to what you say, white grain should be autumn grain, right?" Will it really be sent to Huizhou Mansion? ”

"Just such a rumor is enough." Wang Daokun shrugged his shoulders, and then said lightly, "Isn't Wang Shangning going to put gold on his face?" As soon as he heard that he had been put on this white grain heavy labor, the angry grain chief, or the people who had an extra burden, if they knew that it was all Wang Shangning's big family and resisting to pay Qi Xia tax, could he still keep his reputation? ”

This is really a big man who has experienced strong winds and rains, and the plan he came up with is really poisonous! My own bait fishing or something, it's really weak!

Of course, Wang Fulin didn't ask Wang Daokun how to implement it or anything like that, he sorted out his thoughts, and carefully inquired about the various annotations on the term white grain, and then immediately left. Wang Daoguan enthusiastically left him for lunch, but he was still in a hurry to return to the city, so he naturally politely declined.

As soon as he left, Wang Daoguan looked at his brother and asked, "Big brother, these two words of white grain are really so powerful?" ”

"When Huizhou Mansion once experienced Feipai White Grain, you were too young to remember the stakes, but older people remembered. If Wang Shangning forgets, then I will help him remember! ”

Wang Daokun lightly tapped the armrest, and then said with a smile: "It's just that Fu Lin is really surprising, a dead-eyed person like his father can have such a son!" ”

Big brother, you probably haven't heard of the rumors, but some people are out there to spread the word that he is your son!

Wang Dao scolded his abdomen, then rubbed the little beard on his chin, and secretly planned to enter the city tomorrow to see if he could help...... He was in the mood!

Hurried back to Shexian County from Songming Mountain, because it was still early, Wang Fulin went to the invitation of the household Wu Si Official. said that they were drinking tea together, but the meeting between the two was like working secretly, and Ye Qinglong, a young man who was a matchmaker, ran around at both ends, and did not meet until the evening. The tea drinking place is a sparsely populated land temple in the north city of She County, the incense is dilapidated, the temple is gone, and it has long been included in the list of buildings to be demolished and rebuilt by Ye Junyao. But in this kind of place, Wu Siyi actually conjured up a small red clay stove and a full set of tea sets as if he was doing a trick.

And Wu Siguan, who has been immersed in the bottom of the county government for so many years, actually showed off his tea art like a top elegant person, and when he brought a small cup of tea to Wang Fulin with both hands, he said in a low voice: "Wang Xiaoguan, there is something I heard a little rumor, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Wu Si said." Wang Fulin didn't care about Wu Si's betrayal, in fact, he didn't despise such a sudden triple jump after many years of forbearance.

"That'...... Shall I say that? ”

Wu Siyi tilted his head to look at Wang Fulin, and after taking a light breath, he said solemnly: "Wang Xiaoxianggong, I'm afraid that in the next two days, the grain chiefs of all districts will come to the door." Shexian County's summer tax this year has gone wrong! ”
