Cai Jiesheng has been quite proud in the past six months. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

During the Chinese New Year, he was locked up in the county government, but although he was imprisoned, he was very taken care of, that is, his wife and children at home had also moved out of Kaocheng and went to Xijing, and his son was accepted by Wen Weishen, the son of Wen Yanbo, as a private disciple.

Everything he has put in, he has been rewarded!

Moreover, Zhou Quan's framing incident aroused public anger, and some officials and nobles who did not happen on the railway issue criticized this matter one after another, and the two sides fought in the newspapers.

The only thing that displeased him was that he couldn't get together with his wife and children.

As for the villagers' pointing at him, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't pay much attention to it. In the past, when he was down, he wanted to give these foolish men and women in the countryside a good look, and occasionally read family letters for them, write Spring Festival couplets or something, now, how to say that sentence: There is a great deal of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there is no vain correspondence!

"Cai Xianggong, Cai Xianggong, you should make a noise about this peasant association."

At this time, several neighboring wealthy families were complaining to him with sad faces.

"As soon as you enter, complain and tell me what is going on." Cai Jiesheng looks like an authentic person.

"That's right, when you were in the county office, these mud-legged people got together, started a peasant association, and pooled money to send a few stupid people out, saying that they wanted to see if the railway was bad or not...... feng shui."

"Bang!" Cai Jiesheng slapped the table: "What else do you want to see, if the railway is not bad feng shui, what bad feng shui is there?" Our Cai family can become a wang clan, relying on the feng shui of the ancestral tomb's house, these fools! ”

"But isn't it, after they sent those fools out, they talked all day long, saying that the reason why they were poor was because they were trapped in the land, and that if they could go out and work and make money like those fools, they would be able to make a fortune."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous...... If they make a fortune or not, they have one life, two fortunes and three feng shui, and they don't look at their ancestral graves to see if there is green smoke! ”

When Cai Jiesheng heard this, he was immediately displeased, if these mud-legged people don't stay in the township honestly, who will farm for them? In the past, when Cai Jiesheng only had a little land in his own house, he felt that it didn't matter, but in order to praise him for "speaking up", the Cai clan gave him a lot of land, and several large households nearby also gave him some land, and he used various means to exchange these lands together, but now it is a large area of more than 200 acres, and there is no mud leg as a tenant farmer, how can he cultivate it by himself?

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" He asked indignantly.

The rich men looked at each other, and some people couldn't help but say: "Isn't it because Mr. Cai is busy, in the past six months, Mr. Cai has spent most of his time either visiting relatives and friends, or ......."

"Then I should be found and told me!" Cai Jiesheng waved his hand and snorted.

He was starting to feel bad at this time.

When he first came out to fight Zhou Quan, he was indeed only supported by others, plus he read some books, he thought he was a reader, and he was arrogant. can go through so many things, especially being planted by Zhou Quan as a rebel, so that he finally understands that the character he is facing is not as simple as he thinks.

After getting rid of his crimes, he interacted with those conservative literati, went to Xijing twice, and inquired about Zhou Quan's glorious achievements. Therefore, he had a faint feeling that the matter of the peasant association must have something to do with Zhou Quan, and it was even possible, this was Zhou Quan's real counterattack against them, as for the simple and crude methods such as planting and beating people before, it was just to cover up people's eyes!

If his guess is true......

Just then, he heard a banging knock on his door.

In the past, he had to open the door himself, but since he made his fortune, he has taken in two servants, so there are servants who go to open the door. As soon as the door opened, I heard a bang outside, as if dozens of people rushed in together.

Cai Jiesheng was taken aback, this situation is too similar to the person sent by Zhou Quan last time to blame him.

But after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows were raised, and his face was fierce: "What's the matter with you, trespassing on the house, do you want to rebel?" ”

He was a little familiar with the people who came in, it was the poor people in Xiaohekouzhuang, seeing his eyebrows, everyone was depressed, but there was still a bold humanity: "Mr. Cai, you are a scholar, you tell us whether the railway is bad feng shui, or gather energy to raise wealth!" ”

"Nature is bad feng shui!" Cai Jiesheng said sharply: "What else do you want to ask about this matter, are you willing to be repeatedly run over by someone driving a carriage on the top of your ancestral tomb?" ”

"As far as I know, the grave mound houses that pass along the railway line can be compensated for relocation, and the General Chamber of Commerce of the Railway has prepared enough compensation for relocation, so there is no such thing as repeatedly crushing the ancestral graves." At the back of the crowd, a voice rang out.

"Who, who's there to talk nonsense!" Cai Jiesheng was furious when he heard this.

In fact, he also knew about this, and when the newspaper was arguing, he put forward this proposal in favor of building a railway, but Cai Jiesheng did not believe it at all.

The crowd that had entered his house dispersed, and behind him, a figure was revealed.

It was Cai Feng.

In terms of seniority, Cai Jiesheng is Cai Feng's uncle, in terms of age, Cai Jiesheng is also a few years older than Cai Feng, in terms of family belongings, Cai Jiesheng also has more than a dozen acres of land when he is down, and Cai Feng has nothing except a broken mud house.

Therefore, Cai Jiesheng looked down on Cai Feng very much, and he sneered: "It turned out to be your nephew...... Where did you hear the instigation of others, that is, there is a matter of moving the grave, our Cai family's ancestral grave is a treasure of feng shui, who wants to move it? ”

"It is true that the ancestral tomb is a treasure of feng shui, but you are the descendant of Shu Yegong, and I am also the descendant of Shu Yegong, why is the feng shui of the ancestral tomb only protect your family with 200 acres of land in one year, but there is nothing in my family? Not only me, but also our Cai family who came this time, you ask them, which family can be like you! ”

"That's because, that's because ......" Cai Jiesheng's face suddenly turned red, he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a reason for a while.

He never thought that this clay leg, who was usually honest and only supported by them, would consider such a profound question: the same ancestor, why did the ancestors' feng shui only care about some people and ignore others?

"That's because Mr. Cai is a scholar, what are you!" A large household shouted.

This is also a person from the Cai family, and his family has a lot of land, and several of the people who come in are tenants of his family.

"In other words, the feng shui of the ancestral tomb only protects you scholars, and you, a big family like Uncle Daen, are not good for us who are so poor that we don't build the railway, why do you not build the railway, why do you not do it yourself, but instigate us to fight? Why did your Uncle Jiesheng just stay quiet in the county office for a few days when they came back from revenge, and those of us who did it either broke our hands or feet, and we didn't even have medicine? ”

"Everyone gave you money at the beginning......"

"Those few pennies are not enough for medical expenses!"

"Yes, yes, I broke my arm, and I begged Uncle Dahn for a few days to delay paying the rent, but you didn't agree!"

"When the tax collectors in the county came to collect the taxes, I didn't see you come forward to ask for a few days of grace."

Everyone was gossiping, and for a while, they were all angry. Seeing this situation, Cai Jiesheng knew that something was wrong, and he couldn't let everyone's emotions rise anymore. He shouted a few times, suppressed everyone's voices, and then said to Cai Feng: "Cai Feng, who did you listen to and instigate to dare to say such unfilial words?" ”

"But no one instigated it, I went out on my own, saw the world, and learned the truth of some things."

"What truth?"

"For example, this railway, the reason is not bad feng shui, but to nourish qi and accumulate wealth, but some people don't want us mud legs to have a good life, so they do everything possible to obstruct it!"

The big men were immediately angry, they opposed the railway, but they really did not want the poor to have a good life, so one of them shouted: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, you have lost your mind and gone crazy outside, and you dare to say this!" ”

Cai Jiesheng also consciously caught the loophole in the other party's words, and smiled: "Cai Feng, in terms of seniority, you are my nephew, and I am your uncle." I, who is an uncle, how can I not want to see you as a nephew have a good life, ridiculous, ridiculous, you are a villain's heart, a gentleman's belly! ”

Cai Feng pouted: "Uncle Jiesheng, your plan, we know very well, is to tie us all up on your field." As long as we don't have a good life, we can only rent your land and give you half of the fruits of our hard work every year. If the railroad is opened, we can find a good life along the railway, who will plough for you, who will serve you as a servant, who will let you exploit? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the noisy room!

These big households discussed with Cai Jiesheng because of this matter, for fear that the peasant association would continue to make trouble, and these poor peasants, tenants, and customers who were more pitiful than them would no longer work honestly.

The big households sitting here have as little as 200 acres of good land, and as many as more than 1,000 acres of good land.

Cai Jiesheng's throat moved, and then sneered, and then, the sneer turned into a big laugh, laughing wildly.

The corners of Cai Feng's mouth curved, before the change, Cai Jiesheng's appearance must have shocked him, but now, he is waiting.

"Cai Feng, you don't pee like you look like you, just like you, you leave our field, and you still want to live a good life? Starving to death is light, you have to steal and rob, and finally eat a knife in the official mansion, and it will also damage our Cai family's name! After laughing, Cai Jiesheng shouted.

"That's what you're waiting for." Cai Feng also laughed, and his laughter was louder than Cai Jiesheng! (To be continued.) )
