Chapter 371: Closing the Village
"Yunqing, you are getting poorer and poorer, if Master Shen knows, you will definitely be punished." Su Jin squeezed his cheek amusedly.
Instead of avoiding it, the man leaned closer to make it easier for her to pinch, "How does the lady feel about the touch?" ”
He's so thick-skinned.
Su Jin glanced at him with disgust, "It's not good, it's much worse than others?" ”
"Huh? Others? What someone else. Qi Yunqing's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger.
He thought of something, put his arm around Su Jin's waist, and said vinegarly: "Who else was there before the lady?" ”
Su Jin: "......"
She slapped him angrily, and said with a smile: "What nonsense, who can there be?" ”
Her mother has been single for more than 20 years, and she doesn't even have a peach blossom, at most she has some old perverts.
……
In the afternoon, Wu Dazhong sent fish, and there were two young men, who looked like Wu Dazhong's sons.
In front of them, the fish was weighed, two hundred and sixty-three catties, and all of them were poured into the pond according to Su Jin's wishes, and Su Jin gave Wu Dazhong a silver coin.
Seeing that the three of them were sweating profusely, he asked them to take a breath in the hall, and Li He hurriedly poured water for a few people.
"Don't feed too much, feed in the morning and evening,"
Wu Dazhong pulled his neckline to breathe the air, and said to them with a smile: "If you say a few days late, I'm afraid it won't be delivered." ”
Hearing this, Su Jin was puzzled, even if it was hot, it was impossible for a countryman not to earn money, "Why?" ”
"Our village is going to be closed, and we can't do business until the drought passes."
Speaking of this, Wu Dazhong sighed depressedly, "I can't help my own fish to be fattened, but I encounter a drought, hey, God doesn't give me food." ”
Su Jin frowned, why should the village be closed due to drought, it shouldn't be.
She asked casually, "Why are you going to close the village?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Wu Dazhong was a little surprised, and then said to her, "Girl, you still don't know?" Several villages in Linxian County next door ran out of water, and some families came to Quanshui Town, and two days ago, another family came to our village to ask for water. ”
"Hey, it's really pitiful, and I don't know if we'll be like this in a few days." The tone was full of worry.
Su Jin pursed her lips and said puzzledly, "Isn't there a river in the town?" Why don't they go to town? ”
"Girl, you don't know, no one is allowed to fetch water at the dock now, saying that it is to ensure that the ship can carry goods normally." Wu Dazhong's tone was a little resentful.
Rich people don't take them poor pariahs seriously.
The dock here is a private property that has the right to decide on the flow of water.
In this case, if the official family does not intervene, it will definitely cause chaos.
Su Jin looked at Qi Yunqing and asked him if he knew, Qi Yunqing shook his head slightly, he found that there were more people in the town in the past few days, but he didn't ask much, he bought something and rushed to the village.
Sending Wu Dazhong away, Qi Yunqing hugged Su Jin's waist and returned to the hall, after Su Jin took a sip of water, "Yunqing, was it like this before?" ”
Qi Yunqing's face was also a little not good, "In the past few years, the Song County Order will think of a way to solve it in advance, and it will force the wharf to open to supply water to the surrounding people, and will also open a warehouse to release grain, which will last until the drought passes." ”
Finally, he said, "This hasn't happened before." ”
"Yunqing, let's go to the county seat tomorrow to see the situation."
Su Jin pondered, if something was wrong, see if she could move to the county seat to live for a few days.
"I'll go and see, you're at home." Qi Yunqing understood what she meant, but glanced at her stomach and didn't dare to take her in the carriage with her.
There will be some bumps in the road.
Su Jin shook his head, "Yunqing, I'll go with you to see how the situation is." ”
She saw the situation with her own eyes and decided something.
……
The next day, near noon, at the county gate
There were quite a few people in coarse linen clothes wandering outside, looking and thinking that they could not get in.
Su Jin lowered the curtains, lifted the carriage curtains, looked at the long group of people in front of him, and vaguely saw what the guards were checking.
"Yunqing, do you want a pass?"
Qi Yunqing turned his head and glanced at her, "Eighty percent yes, are you hungry?" There are rice cakes in the baggage, and the stomach is padded first. ”
"It's fine." Su Jin's face was a little bad, if she wanted a pass, she couldn't bring the Su family to the county seat.
It wasn't long before it was Su Jin's turn and their carriage.
"Order!" The official guarding the city gate said irritably.
Su Jin lifted the curtain and said softly: "Poor master, what is the order?" We went out of town for a while, and then we came home. ”
The official glanced at them and didn't quite believe them, "You live in the county seat?" Got the title deed? ”
Su Jin didn't expect to have a pass order, she said apologetically: "Poor master, when you go out, why don't you bring the house deed." ”
She glanced at Qi Yunqing, and Qi Yunqing willingly took out a hundred Wensai and gave it to the officer.
Then she said, "Please be accommodating,"
The official checked it, and his face looked much better, "I don't look like a refugee, let's go in, there will be no next time." ”
Compared to the outside of the city, the inside of the city was about the same as usual, and the carriage went around the yamen, which was very quiet, and no one seemed to make trouble.
Probably because the full man doesn't know the bitterness of the hungry man.
Su Jin's expression was a little cold, and this contempt for human life made her feel a chill in her heart.
At this time, the disadvantages of the hierarchical society are reflected, and it is no wonder that everyone wants to climb up.
She pursed her lips and decided to go to the Jade Pavilion, Yan Yu is a party of the three princes and should know something.
After these days, the three princes have not touched them, which proves that they will not be moved again.
But he learned from the shopkeeper of the Jade Pavilion that Yan Yu was no longer here.
The two of them simply ate and went out of the city, and no one cared about going out of the city.
As the carriage gradually moved away from the city gate, Su Jin sat from the inside to the outside, holding an umbrella to cover the two of them.
"Yunqing, what do you think of the Third Prince?"
Qi Yunqing pondered for a moment, "His reputation is not as famous as other princes, and people outside know very little about him, but listening to Master Shen, his talent and strategy should not be underestimated. ”
"It is said that he will take a month or two out to study at Xuyang Academy every year, and others say that he is not interested in the imperial power, but I think he is trying to win over Han scholars."
"Every three years, seven or eight of the top ten people in the palace examination are students of Xuyang Academy."
Listening to it like this, the three princes know talents, and their vision is also far-sighted, and their strategy is indeed not to be underestimated.
Su Jin pursed her lips, the third prince can understand the importance of the Han Shi, and naturally should understand the importance of the people.
But why didn't there be action?
Why didn't the imperial court take action either? It is impossible for the person in the capital not to know about this situation.
She couldn't figure it out for a moment.
……
Back in town, Su Jin went to Xiuyunfang, but there was no one.
Liu Liu was laying cloth on top of the goods, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and said happily: "Jin'er, Yunqing, why are you here?" ”
"I went to the county seat, Aunt Liu is going to close the shop?" Su Jin glanced at the shop.
