Chapter 116: Sets
This housekeeper's way of dealing with people is much stronger than Cheng Shizhang, although Lin Xifeng didn't give them a good face, he can still do it without being happy and angry, for this housekeeper, Lin Xifeng has no resentment, since he said so, Lin Xifeng also opened his mouth, and said with a smile: "That is the case, I will be blunt in the next, I want to let the hired farmers help the Cheng family harvest rice, but I don't need to be paid.23[wx]."
"Don't be paid? Then I don't know what Lin Gongzi wants? When the housekeeper heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Lin Xifeng smiled: "I want rice." ”
The housekeeper was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked carefully, "How much rice does Lin Gongzi want?" ”
"Divide the Cheng family's 100 acres of rice into three parts, and then you can take one of them, and the remaining two will be disposed of below." Lin Xifeng didn't want to be authentic.
The housekeeper frowned: "Young Master Lin, your appetite is too big!" Why don't you do it? Let's take a step back, as long as Lin Gongzi can finish harvesting my family's rice, we will divide Lin Gongzi in half, how about it? ”
The reason why the housekeeper dared to rob Cheng Shizhang so boldly was because Cheng Shizhang knew that he was not eloquent, so he handed over the matter to the housekeeper, he only listened to it from the side, and using half of the rice as a reward was the lowest bottom line given by Cheng Shizhang.
"There's no room for bargaining, and if you don't, the matter will be settled." Lin Xifeng waved his hand.
"Lin Gongzi, don't do everything too much, you have such a big appetite, if we really don't follow, we can let a hundred acres of rice rot in the field, these fields are related to part of the livelihood of Xihu County, when the time comes, the county will not sit idly by, the small one originally wanted not to trouble the county magistrate to come forward, let's negotiate it ourselves, and I hope Lin Gongzi will be careful again!"
"Don't worry about it anymore, it's already decided."
"In this case, does Lin Gongzi dare to go to the magistrate with my lord to judge the county? Don't blame the little one for saying first, the magistrate promised the reward to the son. It may not be half of the rice we gave, and then Childe will pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons. "For Liu Wen, the housekeeper also knows better, this person has a good heart, if Lin Xifeng really wants so much rice as a reward, it is too unreasonable, Liu Wen is really likely to dismiss Lin Xifeng's idea.
Lin Xifeng didn't care, and smiled: "Then go to the magistrate to comment!" ”
"Okay, let's go!"
This was received by Cheng Shizhang, and Lin Xifeng commented on this reason. He also has a lot of confidence in his heart, in his opinion, even if it is Liu Wen, at most, he will only give Lin Xifeng half of the rice, Lin Xifeng is not satisfied, and he is too ignorant.
After saying that, Cheng Shizhang and the housekeeper turned around and left.
After Lin Xifeng said a few words to Liu Lian'er, he also followed towards the gate, and Wen Chen hurriedly ran up. Follow behind Lin Xifeng.
"Uh...... Wen Chen, you don't have to follow, just rest at home first! Seeing Wen Chen behind him, Lin Xifeng hurriedly smiled.
"Young Master. The little one follows you, and he has more confidence, and he can't let the young master fall behind in terms of numbers, if it weren't for the fact that Ling'er is a woman. The little one also let her follow. Wen Chen said with a smile.
When Lin Xifeng heard this, he shook his head and smiled, and said no more.
The so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy. The West Lake Juju team won the first place, which is almost second only to Liu Wen's great joy after marrying his wife and having children, and the West Lake Juju team can go to the palace, which is something that others have dreamed of for a lifetime.
When Lin Xifeng and the others were passed in, Liu Wen was sitting in the public hall with a smile and looking at the small books, and the more he looked at them, the more happy he became, because these small books were congratulatory notes from other counties, probably congratulating the West Lake Juju team on winning the first place.
"The grass people have seen the magistrate."
Liu Wen's mind was woken up by this word, he coughed lightly, his eyes swept under his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, Master Lin, I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”
When Cheng Shizhang heard this, he secretly glanced at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper understood, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My lord doesn't know, a few days ago, my family's hired farmers were recruited by Lin Gongzi, resulting in the rice is almost ripe now, but no one harvests rice, my lord originally wanted to give Lin Gongzi half of the rice as a reward, and let Lin Gongzi help harvest the rice, so as not to cause losses to Xihu County if the rice rots in the field, but I never thought that Lin Gongzi still thinks that the remuneration is too small, and he refuses to help, and he has to get nearly seven layers of rice to help. But how much rice does my family have in one season...... Lin Gongzi's condition is too harsh, and he hopes that the county magistrate will make a clear decision. ”
Liu Wen pondered for a while, frowning slightly, as the housekeeper said, he also felt that Lin Xifeng's conditions were a little too much, and half of the rice was actually quite a lot, and he was silent for a while, and when he was about to open his mouth to persuade Lin Xifeng, Lin Xifeng suddenly spoke.
"My lord, in fact, the housekeeper's words are not comprehensive, I really want Master Cheng to divide the rice into three parts, Master Cheng takes one of them, as for the other two, there is only one part in the next, and the last one will be distributed to the poor farmers in Xihu County, although it is evenly divided, each poor farmer has not much rice, about two or three catties, but it can also add food to them, and it is only a cloth cloth in the next, and this is all that can be done."
Hearing Lin Xifeng's words, Cheng Shizhang was dumbfounded, and the housekeeper was also stunned, they never thought that Lin Xifeng would still have this hand, using the livelihood of the poor to discuss the law, and Liu Wen was the most concerned about the livelihood of ordinary people, so they lost this game again.
Liu Wen's eyes lit up, originally he didn't know how to persuade Lin Xifeng, after all, the West Lake Juju team can have today, the latter's contribution is not small, now hearing Lin Xifeng say this, Liu Wen immediately laughed, nodded and said: "Lin Gongzi cares about the suffering of the poor, this county is deeply grateful, so let's follow what Gongzi said!" Divide the rice into three parts, Master Cheng and Lin Gongzi each take one copy, and the remaining one will be personally distributed by the county to the villagers, Master Cheng, the county will first replace the villagers to thank you for your generosity......"
Liu Wen said as he stood up with a smile and hugged Cheng Shizhang with a fist.
Cheng Shizhang could only raise a smile that was more ugly than crying, and returned a salute: "Cheng is not only a native of Xihu County, but also should do some modest efforts for the villagers, hehe...... ...... as it should be"
Now that he has been inexplicably deducted by Lin Xifeng, it is definitely not advisable to collapse, Cheng Shizhang can only try to straighten up and hold this hat higher, at most...... It's just that the liver hurts a little. (To be continued......)
