Chapter 219: Carrying out the task
"Can you not go to Hecun?" Shen Mengxi's begging was beyond Ziyou's expectations.
Going to He Village to collect grain rent is related to the actual interests of the Shen family, and the core field rent of the Shen family is generally responsible for Shen Qiulian, and Shen Mengxi can only eat with his mouth open.
Generally speaking, this matter has little to do with Shen Mengxi, and she proposed at this time to ask Ziyou not to go to He Village.
Obviously, she knew something about Hecun, and even played a certain role.
But with Shen Mengxi's simple character, the role he plays can only be used by others, Ziyou is convinced.
When Shen Mengxi unexpectedly tried to stop Ziyou from going to He Village, a series of inferences popped up in his mind.
"Why?" Ziyou restrained his smile and looked at Shen Mengxi in front of him seriously.
Since being in the Shen family, Ziyou has not seen Shen Mengxi many times, and every time he sees her, he almost has a slightly sad face, as if there is always something troubled in his heart.
According to others, Shen Mengxi's daily activities are basically to go to the Hope Private School in the north of the city to take care of the children studying there, or to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for repayment.
"I want to ...... I want to ......" Shen Mengxi slurred, as if he had something to say, but he was a little timid. "I won't accept the rent in He Village this year...... They said that this year's harvest is not good, and if they pay the rent, they are afraid that they will have to pay the next year. ”
"Miss Mengxi, do you know how much land there is at home and how much rent grain should be collected every year?" Ziyou asked.
"I ......" Shen Mengxi was speechless, but he could only shake his head. I do not know. ”
That is to say, she is just an Anyi lady, and she doesn't know anything about the operation of the Shen family.
"Since you don't even know the situation in your own family, how can you only know that there is a He Village, and only know that the tenants of He Village have not paid their grain rent?"
Ziyou's words were sonorous and powerful, and although Shen Mengxi was sure that his thoughts were not wrong, he was still a little stunned, so much so that he stammered slightly when he spoke.
"Because...... Because I have been to He Village by chance. I met the tenants who told me. ”
"What are you doing in Hecun?"
"Because there was a child who didn't come to the private school that day, I went to Hecun to find him...... Then I met the tenants of He Village who cried to me and expressed their distress and hoped that they would be free of food for a year. ”
Ziyou naturally believes Shen Mengxi's words, not in trust in Shen Mengxi, but just Ziyou's grasp of Shen Mengxi's character, she is not a good liar.
"You promised them?"
"I knew I couldn't do anything about it, so I just told them I would do my best and come back to discuss it with my aunt, but my aunt didn't agree."
Of course Shen Qiulian will not agree, even if it is a poor harvest, the landlord still has to eat what he should eat, drink what he should drink, and collect what he should collect.
If they were exempted from grain rent for a year because of the situation in He Village, they might think that the Shen family was easy to talk to, and the tenants in the other fields might follow suit.
At that time, if the Shen family wants to collect grain rent from below, it will be much more difficult than before.
Exempting the people of He Village from grain rent for one year is insignificant to the huge Shen family, but the subsequent incidents will damage the interests of the Shen family.
Shen Qiulian had already realized this, so she had personally visited He Village, but the result was still in vain.
He Village's attitude towards Shen Qiulian was that he had no food, and he wanted his life, and he was not afraid at all because Shen Qiulian was presiding over the Shen family's family affairs.
Until the end, Shen Qiulian was helpless, and the matter of He Village gave her a headache.
"Although my aunt didn't agree, but then I didn't go to Hecun again, I don't know how to bring up this matter today, I think that since this is the case, the matter of Hecun will be like this for the time being, maybe ...... When the harvest is better next year, the tenants will pay back today's rent. Shen Mengxi said.
It's too idealistic, Ziyou has reservations, many people will be satisfied with the fact that after getting cheap, they will stop satisfied, but more people are intensifying and getting an inch.
The Hecun incident, what will happen, still needs to be further understood, although there is no evidence, but Ziyou always feels that there is something greasy in it.
"Miss Mengxi, I still have to go to this He Village, what our aunt explained, no matter how you say it, you have to complete it well, as for whether to collect grain rent from them, let's see the situation." Ziyou said.
Among them, Shen Qiulian is called our aunt, so vaguely taking advantage of Shen Mengxi's old advantage, making her face slightly red, but she smiled slightly. "Mr. Ziyou can say this, Mengxi is relieved, and when Mr. Ziyou understands the situation, he will definitely sympathize with the plight of the tenants in He Village, and no longer force them to hand over their rations...... Because Mr. Ziyou is also a good person who is sympathetic to the people. ”
Perhaps because of the Ruixue poem on the carriage, Shen Mengxi felt that Ziyou and her were the same kind of people, otherwise she would not gladly accept the marriage with Ziyou.
It's just that there is still a real understanding between the two of them, if Shen Mengxi sees Ziyou's true face, I don't know how she will react, but if Ziyou wants to disguise, she can easily write her for the rest of her life.
"Mr. Ziyou will definitely sympathize with them and will not collect rent from them." Shen Mengxi seemed to be a little determined.
But Ziyou will not cater to Shen Mengxi because of this, he has his own thoughts.
……
He Village is not far from Selangor City, and after a ten-mile pavilion to the east of the city, you can see a village crowded on a gentle slope, and curling cooking smoke rises...... This is Hecun.
However, Ziyou is still far away from He Village, and he hasn't even left the city yet.
"Uncle...... We're on the wrong track. In the carriage, in addition to Ziyou, there was also Shen Wan, who had some small friendships with Ziyou before, who accompanied Ziyou to He Village.
Shen Wan is burly, just talking about his figure, he feels that he can play two, this time, Shen Wan also brought the family exclusive, the family stick.
It looks like you're going to fight.
Obviously, Shen Wan was responsible for protecting Ziyou, and no matter what, they didn't want Ziyou to be in danger in the process of collecting grain.
This is almost a normal thing, and many people may encounter some armed conflicts when they go below to help their families collect food rent, and it is normal to bring a bodyguard.
Ziyou thinks that not only will she not be able to chat with Lin Ruoxi these days, but even Fluttershy and Xiaocui will not be able to see her.
I originally wanted to bring a little maid with me, but with a little girl, I can also relieve my loneliness.
But in reality, it's a pipe dream.
Fluttershy and Tsui, after sleeping with Ziyou for the night, no longer allow such a thing, because the purpose of that night was to teach Ziyou the right ...... Bang ~ Bang method, not for Azusa fun.
After all, if you are about to get married, you can let your uncle mess around on someone else's navel all day long.
