Chapter 63: Power oppresses
"Wang Qi, what do you want to see this king?" Zhao Yan yawned and came to the front hall, yesterday he accompanied Cao Ying and them to play poker all night, he was really tired, Cao Ying and they got up after sleeping for a while, and then commanded the people of the palace to prepare to go back to the courtyard, but Zhao Yan slept like a dead pig, and was carried to the car by the servants and did not wake up, just now he woke up and was not in the palace, scared him thought that he had crossed again, fortunately the little bean sprouts appeared in time, which made him understand what was going on. This article was written by......
"King Kaien, now that the season has come, if you don't plant the radishes, then there will be no way to get the radishes out of the ground before winter!" Wang Qi knelt down with a pleading face.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean, what do you want to do with the king of radishes?" Zhao Yan's mind was not completely clear, and he had long forgotten what he had ordered yesterday.
"King Jun, didn't you send someone to Zhuangzi yesterday and say that we should not plant radishes, and we have to wait for your orders at every qiē? It's just that now the season has come, and if you don't plant radishes, the vegetable field will be confiscated in the second half of the year! Wang Qi pleaded again.
Originally, they rented the land of the palace, and they only needed to pay rent every year, and the palace generally didn't care what they planted, but this time the palace suddenly intervened, and it was the order of the county king in front of him, which made the tenants of Shangshuizhuang very anxious, they already had no income in the first half of the year, and they must not delay the agricultural time in the second half of the year, and secondly, they didn't believe in the county king's mansion, especially Zhao Yan, the county king, Zhao Yan issued this order in the name of Cao Ying. Maybe the tenants of Sheung Shui Zhuang will not be so repulsive, after all, the name of the medical saint Niangniang is still very appealing among the people.
Zhao Yan also remembered at this time, when he ate dumplings yesterday, he learned that Chinese cabbage had not been introduced in the north, so he thought of letting the tenants grow Chinese cabbage to make some money, after all, a fresh vegetable can appear in winter, which will definitely make the rich people in Kaifeng City crazy, and it is precisely because of this that he sent someone back to the other courtyard and asked Wang Qi not to plant radishes first, leaving the vegetable field to grow more profitable cabbage, but Wang Qi and these people don't know the inside story, so they will come to beg him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan immediately explained with a smile: "Wang Qi, you have misunderstood the king's kindness this time, the most important reason why this king asked you to stop making radishes this time is that you think of another kind of vegetable, this kind of vegetable has not been grown around Tokyo, and it can be stored for winter consumption, it can be said that it is similar to radish, but the price is much more expensive than radish." ”
Zhao Yan thought that after explaining himself, Wang Qi would be overjoyed immediately, and then bow his head and bow down, and he would become a die-hard fan of himself in the future, throwing his head and sprinkling blood on his chest to block the gun's eye, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as full of affection. But what Zhao Yan never expected was that Wang Qi was stunned for a while after hearing his words, and then cried again: "The county king is a thousand years old, Zhuangzi only received three or four percent of grain in the first half of the year, and this is thanks to the county king's rent-free, so that the people in Zhuangzi have something to eat, but if the agricultural time is delayed in the second half of the year, I am afraid that people in Zhuangzi will really starve to death!" ”
Wang Qi didn't believe Zhao Yan's words at all, although the matter of exempting the land rent and the disaster victims before Tong Guò let Wang Qi know that the county king in front of him was not as bad as the legend, but when it came to growing vegetables, he didn't think that Zhao Yan would know more than him, and even in the entire village in the east of the city, he was already the best vegetable farmer, and no one knew all kinds of vegetables better than him, as for what Zhao Yan said in his mouth What vegetables that can be stored for winter to eat, and they are more valuable than turnips, he has never even heard of it, Therefore, Wang Qi thinks that Zhao Yan is lying and deceiving himself, as for the other party, what is a prince doing to deceive himself into such a small peasant? That's not his focus.
Zhao Yan was a teacher in his previous life, and if he wanted to have a good relationship with the children under him, the most important thing was to be patient, so he saw that Wang Qi didn't believe in himself, and he didn't get angry, but explained again with a smile: "Wang Qi, this king has absolute confidence in planting vegetables, I have asked people to buy vegetable seeds, and it is estimated that they will be shipped over after a while, plus it is only July now, just in time for planting, then you only need to store it according to the king's instructions, and then sell it in winter, Definitely earn more than growing turnips! ”
It's a pity that the more Zhao Yan explained, the more Wang Qi didn't believe it, because he felt that Zhao Yan was a county king who patiently explained to a small person like himself, the more abnormal it became, the so-called abnormality is a demon, he still understands this truth, so Wang Qi is even more convinced that Zhao Yan must have some conspiracy not to let him plant radish, so he begged even more bitterly, and even lay on the ground and cried bitterly, saying that let Zhao Yan see the face of hundreds of lives in Shangshui Village and let them go!
Zhao Yan looked at Wang Qi crying bitterly, and his heart was also very depressed, he originally wanted to help the people of Shangshuizhuang increase their income, but he didn't expect that the other party not only did not appreciate it, but also begged him to take back his life, which made Zhao Yan feel that his kindness was not repaid, and he really wanted to grit his teeth and agree to Wang Qi's request, and then let them fend for themselves.
However, just when Zhao Yan was upset, he suddenly saw Cao Ying walking in from the back of the hall, first saluted Zhao Yan, and then looked at Wang Qi lying on the ground. Wang Qi also saw the noble lady who came in at this time, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, for fear of angering the other party.
I saw Cao Ying glance at Wang Qi lightly, and then asked, "You are the head of Shangshui Village?" ”
Wang Qi didn't expect that the ladies of the palace would run to the front hall, and her mind didn't turn for a while, and she didn't answer Cao Ying's question, but Mi Xue next to Cao Ying immediately crossed her hands and scolded like a puppy: "The princess asked you, why didn't you answer?" ”
As soon as he heard that the noble lady in front of him was the princess of the county, Wang Qi was frightened, and hurriedly replied: "Princess Qiqi is a thousand years old, and the villain is Zhuangtou Wang Qi!" ”
Cao Ying now put the princess's shelf to the fullest, and her momentum is stronger than Zhao Yan, the king of the county, I saw that she didn't even look at Wang Qi at this time, and said in a faint voice: "Wang Zhuangtou, you Shangshuizhuang rents the land of the palace, then you have to obey the arrangement of the palace, this time the palace asks you to plant, you have to plant, if you don't want to, then hand over the rent that was exempted in the first half of the year, otherwise don't make any messy demands in the palace!" ”
Wang Qi was intimidated by the momentum of Cao Ying, the princess, and Cao Ying's words were also very tough, which made Wang Qi dare not have any objections at all, but just kowtowed vigorously and agreed: "Yes, yes~, the princess Chitose forgives her sins, the villain must obey the arrangement of the palace, and will never dare to make any more requests." ”
"Good!" At this time, Cao Ying nodded, but still said in a commanding tone, "The seeds of the new vegetables will arrive soon, and then you will plant them according to the requirements of the palace, and you must take care of them carefully, the palace will send people to check them regularly, if the existing people dare to slack off, then don't blame the palace for turning their faces and not recognizing people!" ”
Cao Ying is worthy of being the daughter of Jiangmen, and when the last sentence was spoken, it seemed to be murderous, which also made Wang Qi tremble again, and replied with his head on the ground: "Don't worry, the princess, the villain is the head of the village, and she will definitely urge the tenants to take good care of the new vegetables, and she will definitely not dare to slack off!" ”
Seeing Wang Qi's promise, Cao Ying nodded lightly, and then Mi Xue said very doggedly again: "Wouldn't it be good to agree like this earlier, you have to waste the tongue of the county king and the princess, Wang Qi, you go down quickly, let the tenants in the Zhuangzi be ready to grow vegetables!" ”
Wang Qi was also frightened by Cao Ying, the princess, and thought that the king of the county was a good talker, but he didn't expect that there was such a domineering princess behind him, which made him only smile bitterly, got up and saluted again, bent over and turned to leave.
It wasn't until Wang Qi left the hall that Zhao Yan jumped up from the chair, and then circled around Cao Ying and Mi Xue a few times, and exclaimed loudly: "Lady, I didn't expect you to have this hand, just now I was almost annoyed by Wang Qiqiu, and I was about to leave them alone and let them fend for themselves, but I didn't expect you to get things done in a few words as soon as you came." ”
Cao Ying was a little embarrassed by Zhao Yan, and said with a slightly red face: "The husband is too soft-hearted, these tenants have a narrow vision, sometimes it is not enough to convince people with reason, and they must be tough when necessary, and when this year's cabbage makes money, they will understand that the husband is good to them." ”
Zhao Yan thought about it, this is really the truth, he is now the king of the county, but his psychology is still in the stage of ordinary people in later generations, and he doesn't know how to use power at all, in fact, power doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, someone can use power to benefit the people, someone can use power to confuse the world, and everything depends on who holds power.
Of course, using power to oppress people may cause some negative effects, such as planting Chinese cabbage, which will definitely make the tenants of Shangshuizhuang very dissatisfied with the palace, and they will not plant Chinese cabbage too carefully, but these are temporary, no matter how dissatisfied those tenants are, they will not rebel against the orders of the palace because of a season of vegetables, plus Cao Ying said that they would be inspected, so the tenants still have to plant vegetables honestly in the end, and when the cabbage makes money, this qiē negative impact will disappear, will even make the tenants grateful to Zhao Yan.
However, not long after Wang Qi left the palace, Zhao Yan, who was chatting with Cao Ying, suddenly patted his head, and ordered Mi Xue next to him very annoyed: "Hurry up and call that Wang Qi back, I have something important to look for him!" ”
