Entering the west room, Chen Ping closed the door.

"County Lieutenant Li, don't dislike it, it's a little cold at home, and there are no chairs and stools, so you can just sit on the bed." The stool is not nothing, but it is also about to fall apart, Chen Ping didn't dare to let Li Yingxing sit on it, and patted it twice on the edge of the bed, "I just washed it a few days ago." ”

The furnishings in the room are a little old, but since Chen Pinghan's illness has recovered, the hygiene is fine, and the smell in the room has faded a lot, and now it is almost inaudible.

Li Yingxing glanced around, didn't have the mind to take a closer look, and sat on the edge of the bed: "Say, is there something wrong with letting me in?" ”

"Naturally, there is something." Seeing that Li Yingxing should be a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush, Chen Ping also saved some trouble, and said directly, "County Lieutenant Li should know about the fire sickle, right?" ”

Li Yingxing is no stranger to the fire sickle, but if you want to say that the fire sickle as a hanging ornament, Li Yingxing still got it from Chen Yuanliang a few days ago. At first, he just thought it was good-looking, but later, when he heard the county Cheng say that the one would cost a thousand yuan, Li Yingxing was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and the fire sickle hanging on his belt was also put away.

Hang by your side all day long, and catch the thief, and it's not good to be damaged.

"Listen to Chen Yuanliang, did you make the fire sickle?" Li Yingxing looked at Chen Ping, "Now that the county is using that fire sickle, it should have made a lot of money, right?" ”

"Thanks to County Lieutenant Li." Chen Ping arched his hand, and when he saw Li Yingxing's surprised expression, he explained, "If County Lieutenant Li doesn't walk around with a fire sickle and let others know the benefits of this fire sickle, how can this fire sickle be sold?" ”

In this way, Li Yingxing can be regarded as understanding. In his heart, he said that this kid is really not simple, so the reason why Chen Yuanliang gave him a set of fire sickles is probably also instructed by the kid in front of him, not simply to give gifts, but to make himself an example, so that everyone in the county can know about the fire sickle.

County Cheng and Xue Xiong, isn't that exactly the case?

"The 1,000 wen that County Lieutenant Li borrowed from Li Yingxing, I'm afraid it wasn't for himself, but for the county?" Chen Ping asked slowly, speaking very politely, trying not to touch Li Yingxing.

The matter of making friends with officials like this should not be hidden in the county government, but this clear thing cannot be said, which will cause disgust and not say it, and it will not be said that others will think that you have other thoughts.

Because of the things that offend people, Wan San's example is there, and Chen Ping doesn't want to learn it.

"Well, you're very smart." But apparently Li Yingxing didn't take this seriously, but sighed and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Yan County and I are both from other counties, so Xue Xiong has been operating here for many years, and he is quite powerful, blocking us and others." This guy is a scourge, not enough to get rid of the anger of the people, Yan Xiancheng and I will make friends for the peace of the people. ”

In Chen Ping's opinion, the explanation is purely unnecessary, as long as he knows that the county lieutenant, the county Cheng and Xue Xiong do not deal with each other.

"County Lieutenant Li has some difficulties with money?" Chen Ping asked tentatively again, this was already an obvious hint, and it was impossible for Li Yingxing not to notice it.

"Well, it's a bit difficult. I have only been in Liuhe County for more than a year, I have no foundation, and I don't know how to operate. Li Yingxing sighed, "That Xue Xiong is powerful, not only has a restaurant, but also has a private kiln at home, and the family property is very rich. ”

"What the county lieutenant of Li County is doing is that the income he earns only by dividing the land is indeed less. Those officials are many of them unreckless and short-sighted, and they will be attracted by Xue Xiong's money, and they pity the people on this side. Chen Ping complimented, "It has to be more officials like the county lieutenant and the county leader." ”

Li Yingxing looked at Chen Ping, is this still a middle-aged man? There is only a little fluff on his mouth, but what he says is so old that people can't believe it.

"I'm willing to give County Lieutenant Li some help." Chen Ping said it deliberately, County Lieutenant Li is different from his family, and his family knows everything about him, but after all, this is the first time he has seen County Lieutenant Li, and he has heard some news about himself from Chen Yuanliang at most, and Chen Ping feels that the previous words will not be abrupt.

In this era, fifteen can join the army together to fight and win military merits, and Chen Ping is almost twelve, saying such a thing will not make people feel weird.

Li Yingxing smiled slightly, didn't speak, and waited for Chen Ping's next words.

"The price of the fire sickle is 100 wen, and the cost occupies one layer, my cousin Chen Yuanliang manages the sale, and it is divided into four layers, and I own five floors." Chen Ping said lightly, there is no lie, since it is to cooperate, it is good to be honest with each other, "I am willing to take out one layer from my five layers and give it to the county lieutenant as activity funds." ”

One layer, this is Shiwen, Li Yingxing will still count this. As for the truth of Chen Ping's words, Li Yingxing knew it even more, he had also checked this matter, and the cost was only a lot more, and Chen Ping still said less.

This is natural, Li Yingxing is checking the cost of his artificial fire sickle, such as Xue Xiong, it is to count the artificial, Chen Ping is familiar with Chen He, this is the use of ten wen to package the artificial and steel materials.

"Funding for the event?" Li Yingxing has never heard of this word, so he doesn't know it clearly.

"Yes." Chen Ping nodded, "County Lieutenant Li always has to eat and drink to catch thieves, and those who provide clues to thieves must also be given a certain amount of money and rewards, as well as those who are white, after all, they can't be allowed to work hungry, and occasionally in cold weather, they also need to buy some cotton jackets and cold-proof equipment, and so on, all of which require money, which is the activity fund." ”

"That's an interesting statement." Li Yingxing smiled, and accepted Chen Ping's bribe for changing direction, "Then I, Li Yingxing, will thank you very much." ”

"County Lieutenant Li is polite, if you hadn't brought someone here today, then Wan San didn't know what he would do." Chen Ping said blindly.

What can be done? A person who was tied up, ate a cold wind, and stayed in a stone mortar with Hei Yan for several hours, Li Yingxing If he didn't come again, maybe Wansan would have to have a round house with that Hei Yan.

Not to mention, if you can't wait for County Lieutenant Li today, Chen Ping really plans to do so, and the leveled land in the backyard is just right.

"Don't be so polite, I see that you are young, the same age as my second son, you can call me Uncle Li." Money can make ghosts grind, things that can be used across borders, and the cross-point time period effect is still there, Li Yingxing immediately brought his relationship with Chen Ping closer.

Chen Ping called Uncle Li very appropriately, and Li Yingcai also responded with a smile.

One layer of 100 wen, a set of fire sickles will get ten cents for nothing, if there are more, won't this money fall down?

Li Yingxing can weigh the pros and cons, so he naturally abandoned Wan San: "Since you called me uncle, then uncle can't let you lose." Don't worry, all the evidence is there, even if he doesn't die, he won't be able to stay in this Liuhe County. ”

Under the capital crime is exile, the closer is Cangwu, the far point of the Pearl Cliff, and the farther one is to Jiaozhi, which is really thousands of miles away.

At this time, the natural environment is still very good, but this is not a good thing for the exiled people, long distance travel and fatigue, coupled with water and soil adaptation, miasma disasters, and even roadblocks and robberies, may be encountered, it is really a thing that cannot be lived or died.

Such a result is not wonderful for Wan San, but Chen Ping is quite satisfied.

"Uncle Li has done a good deed for Baitu Village, and I thank Uncle Li on behalf of the villagers of Baitu Village." Chen Ping got up and saluted again, raising Li Yingxing's spiritual level again.
