Chapter 827: Could It Really Be That He Was Thinking Too Much? (a)
It's not just some gossip, what Nanyang County's store has closed down, whose store is doing hot business, and what kind of county magistrate is doing fundraising, anyway, it's all useless information, at that time, I might as well pay more attention to that little slut, see how to kill her, even if you can't kill her, you have to tie her back and ravage her. ”
Suddenly asked like this, Chen Nan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he found a place to sit down and replied disapprovingly.
In his opinion, Mu Qingfeng's fundraising was just a gimmick to give himself a good reputation, but in fact, it was just like his father to make money for himself, nothing new.
But in Wang Chenghao's ears, he only felt quite helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that this man was his nephew, he would have wanted to pry his head open to see what was inside.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier about the county magistrate's fundraising?"
Angrily and helplessly glanced at Chen Nan, Wang Chenghao asked angrily.
"What's so strange about that?"
didn't know what Wang Chenghao was thinking, Chen Nan still didn't care and said: "Just after this famine, the imperial court allocated a sum of money, and more than half of it was drawn on it, and it was not enough to spend it in the hands of the county magistrate, and it happened that the rich businessmen and squires in the county came back during this time, and he naturally wanted to think of a sum of money to expand his purse, what better reason is there than making a fuss about the famine?" ”
With a look of "I understand this routine very well", Chen Nan looked at Wang Chenghao with an unclear look, mistakenly thinking that he didn't understand very well, and immediately raised his head proudly, and explained with a smile: "The rich and powerful people in this city don't care about that little money, they cherish their feathers more, and Mu Qingfeng is the son of the imperial capital, and the people he contacts are all people at that level, how can he not see through this little bit of effort, believe it or not, as long as he registers a booklet, stamps the official seal, and says that it will be reported to the court, those people will rush to send him money." ”
Everyone else is afraid of famine, but the person in his father's position is completely different, and he is quite welcoming.
Whether it's a flood or a famine, as long as it's a disaster, it's a good opportunity to make money.
This underground person fishes from the people, he fishes from those officials, and the people above fish from them, anyway, no matter what, he can not only please the people above, but also make his purse bulge, such a good thing, who is not happy?
This kind of thing, everyone knows it, and he is tired of seeing it.
"So will he really report it?"
Stunned for a moment, Wang Chenghao glanced at Chen Nan and said secretly: Could it be that he is too nervous? How could Mu Qingfeng do exactly the same thing as his nephew said now?
"Report a fart!"
Speechlessly glancing at his uncle, Chen Nan snorted disdainfully: "I don't really want to take money to cheap those lowly villagers, how can I really report it?" It's just a gimmick, anyway, the people in this county don't have the qualifications to see those people above, even if they want to know if there is such a thing, they don't have that ability! ”
Rolling his eyes, Chen Nan's eyes were full of ridicule, and he said with great certainty: "Besides, this Mu Qingfeng is not from those poor families, he has no background backing, he only dares to be an official honestly with his tail between his legs, his father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and his ancestors have produced three emperors, and now the saint has to give three points to his family, even if someone makes a fuss about it, those people above want to please his father, and they will definitely suppress this matter, so if they can't make any name for it, they will offend him and bring disaster to the family. What fool would do such a stupid thing? ”
