"Miss, it's night, let's rest early, there are still many things to do tomorrow." Xiaocui took a bowl of boiled bird's nest and put it on Xie Sicun's desk and whispered.

"Wait, it'll be soon." Xie Sicun finished the last page of accounts, stood up, and stretched his waist greatly. It's not like a lady at all, with the demeanor of a deep lady.

"Miss, if you are seen by the master like this, I will talk about you again." Xiao Cui smiled.

"Why don't you try to sit here for two hours?" Xie Sicun said angrily.

"I can't do this, even if I sit for a long time, it won't help." Xiao Cui waved her hand again and again and said, "The bird's nest is getting cold, Miss should drink it while it's hot." ”

Xie Sicun picked up the bird's nest and drank it in three or two sips, "Drink a bowl of bird's nest late every night, do you want me to die fat and can't see people?" ”

Xiao Cui smiled and said: "Miss is naturally beautiful, even if she is really fat, she must be liked, how can she not meet people?" ”

"Poor mouth!" Xie Sicun said with a smile.

"Huh? I haven't seen Cheng Gongzi in the past two days. Xie Sicun asked a little strangely.

Xie Sicun's room is opposite to Cheng Zhong's study, in the past, he burned the ointment and followed the sundial, studying day and night, and many times he slept later than Xie Sicun.

Therefore, Xie Sicun can often see the figure of reading on the window paper in Cheng Zhong's study, reflected by the light.

But I don't know what the reason is in the past few days, the light in Cheng Zhong's study has not been lit, is something wrong? Or is it sick?

"What's wrong? Worried after not seeing each other for a few days? Xiao Cui said jokingly.

"Slap your mouth again!" Xie Sicun's face flushed and said: "He is next to us, and he should care about it, and if there is something, we can also take care of each other." You like to think crookedly. ”

"Yes, yes, it's all Xiao Cui's bad, Xiao Cui is thinking crookedly, okay?" Xiaocui said: "I've already asked, Cheng Gongzi has been in the county government these days, I heard that he is doing something with Lord Hai...... Oh yes, a whip. In the past few days, the county government has sent people to post notices everywhere, and also invited storytellers and singers to preach everywhere, and now I am afraid that the old people and children in the fields can say one or two sentences of the content of a whip. It's just that you're so busy every day, and you don't know very well. ”

"A whip?" Xie Sicun said suspiciously: "Tell me, what are the details?" ”

Those who do business are most concerned about the rules and regulations of the government, this time is too busy, and the county government was empty some time ago, Xie Sicun actually missed such an important information, and he couldn't help but blame himself secretly.

Xiao Cui didn't know much about the details of a whip, but she knew that it was a good thing. Because that's what is said in the play.

"If you're telling the truth, that's a good thing indeed." How vicious are Xie Sicun's eyes? It soon became clear that the pros and cons of a whip law were discerned. This is also a great advantage for the Xie family, the most direct is that the tax is lower, and many peasants' forced labor has been canceled, so the Xie family does not have to worry about the peasants not being able to find anyone to work after serving the forced labor.

It's just that the implementation of such a heavy ** regulation is probably not such a simple thing, right? Lord Hai, Cheng Zhong, can they do it?

"Xiaocui, tomorrow morning, you go and invite Cheng Gongzi to come, just say that I thank him for his guidance a few days ago, and I specially prepare a thin wine to thank him, and ask him to appreciate it." Xie Sicun said. The implementation of such a heavy change as the whip law is a very big opportunity, and if it is seized, it will definitely be very helpful to the Xie family, so Xie Sicun must try his best to understand the detailed situation.

"Miss just to thank you? Don't have anything else on your mind? Xiao Cui said with a strange face. At the beginning, Xie Sicun's hatred for Cheng Zhong was so great that he couldn't even mention Cheng Zhong's name in front of her, and after only a few days, he took the initiative to invite Cheng Zhong to drink and eat. Could it be that the young lady figured it out and had a good impression of Cheng Gongzi?

"I'm talking to you about business, don't be mistaken." Xie Sicun's face was stern, and of course Xiao Cui didn't dare to joke anymore.

But what I didn't expect was that Xiaocui hadn't invited Cheng Zhong the next day, but Cheng Zhong took the initiative to come to the door.

Cheng Zhong's purpose in coming to the door was very simple, that is, to borrow money, to borrow the wages of those newly recruited errand officers, of course, borrowing money and salary was only a temporary expedient measure, and it would definitely not be the case for a long time.

As for the long term, Cheng Zhong already had an idea, but now Cheng Zhong needs money to form a law enforcement team of county officials to calm people's hearts, so as to promote the implementation of a whip law as much as possible. Because the date of the summer tax is approaching, there is not much time left for him and Hai Rui.

In the Ming Dynasty, for officials, the most important assessment was the collection and handover of taxes, if the summer tax could not be paid on time, then Hai Rui's county would be at the end, I am afraid that Xu Ge Lao could not keep it.

Originally, Hai Rui disagreed with the practice of borrowing the Xie family's remuneration for errand service. He was a little blind to the Xie family, thinking that they were rich and unkind. Later, the Du Chongde case was born, and Hai Rui regarded Xie Mengting as the most important suspect, although the case was cracked by Cheng Zhong, and it turned out that he had no connection with Xie Mengting, but Hai Rui's impression of the Xie family was even worse, and he hated to knock them to the ground immediately before he fulfilled his wish.

It's better now, but I want him to go to the door to borrow money from Xie Mengting, but of course Hai Rui is unwilling.

In the end, Cheng Zhong could only threaten each other with national events! He can be regarded as having figured out Hai Rui's thoughts, this guy is a stubborn donkey, pulling and not leaving, rushing backwards, dealing with him, Cheng Zhong has his own tricks.

Cheng Zhong only used a few words to persuade the stubborn Hai Rui.

"The teacher is right! Regardless of whether the Xie family is rich or not, but with the dignity of the teacher, if you go to the door to raise funds, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the teacher. Cheng Zhong said with a stern face.

Hai Rui nodded, not understanding why he had changed his tone all of a sudden.

"Human death is small, and loss of discipline is big, not to mention that it hasn't reached that Cheng dù yet?" Cheng Zhong said again.

Hai Rui nodded again.

"In order to keep one's own name, the survival of a country and the suffering of a common people are not worth mentioning at all. Teacher, you said right? Cheng Zhong asked evilly.

Hai Rui glared at him and didn't speak.

Cheng Zhong continued to add fuel to the fire-

"The implementation of a whip law is far away, and it has nothing to do with the teacher, anyway, the teacher has done his best, hasn't he?"

"Who's to say it isn't?!" Hai Rui snorted.

"The teacher can also face His Royal Highness King Yu and Xu Ge with a clear conscience, and what the teacher has done is completely worthy of their trust, right?" Cheng Zhong said again.

"Alright, alright!" Hai Rui couldn't sit still, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's it! For the sake of the teacher's innocence, let's explain it. ”

Cheng Zhong smiled and comforted: "The teacher has wronged himself for the suffering of the people, and the people will definitely thank the teacher if they know it." ”

"You don't need to be grateful for being a teacher, as long as the people's lives are good, you will be satisfied with being a teacher." Hai Rui said in a deep voice.

"The people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the greatest praise for the teacher." Cheng Zhong slapped a little fart again.

When he went to the Xie family to borrow money, it was naturally not Hai Rui's turn to do it, and with the relationship between Cheng Zhong and Xie Jiangbo, he could come forward. But the reason why he wanted Hai Jui's consent was to subtly change Hai Jui's stubborn personality.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. But as long as you change a little and start this way, it will be better to persuade in the future.

Under Xie Jiangbo's recommendation, Cheng Zhong met Xie Mengting. Xie Mengting praised everyone for this, just when Cheng Zhong thought that everything had come to fruition and the dust had settled. Xie Mengting said that the Xie family's money is currently being taken care of by Xie Sicun, and her consent must be obtained for all expenses.

Xie Mengting's words made Cheng Zhong angry, since you can't be the master, why do you ask so carefully? Why should I talk to you?

Cheng Zhong had no choice but to come to Xie Sicun again. Thinking of Xie Sicun's strict face in the past, Cheng Zhong's heart suddenly lifted.
