Chapter 52: Confused
"The Fuyang County Order said that everyone must ask the government to borrow money and ask for three points in interest?" Chai Youchen frowned and asked.
Uncle Xie nodded, "That's exactly what Li said. Don't listen to the old woman, the government is also kind. There are also many industrious poor people who have no money to buy seedlings because of changes in their families. If you borrow this money, you will be able to recover. It's better than asking those ruffians to borrow it. ”
When the eldest aunt heard this, she became even more angry, "You also said that you are diligent and have suffered a sudden accident...... Such a person, not to mention that the government lent it to him, is here to look for me, and I don't frown, but what's going on with Lao Sun's family? ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to get together, Chai Youchen interjected lightly, "But as far as I know, the imperial court did not force the people to borrow money, and the interest was two cents, not three cents." ”
Uncle Xie was stunned for a moment, stammered a little, he gestured a few times in mid-air, wanted to say something, but hung down again, and only said with some frustration, "It would be nice if the second brother was still in Fuyang." He certainly wouldn't. ”
The atmosphere froze all at once.
Xie Jingyi sighed in her heart, her shock was not much more than Chai Youchen.
The official family trusts the prince very much, and almost obeys everything, this green seedling law was first tried by the prince in the local office, and the effect is remarkable, and it has indeed brought a lot of income to the imperial court. And it also allows more people to afford to plant land and raise seedlings.
This is a real feat, and everyone sees it.
At the beginning of the implementation, most of the people in the court were in a wait-and-see state.
But I don't know when there have been displaced people in many places, and this time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest. The two sides are opposed and torn apart. No one can discuss it rationally, and they all feel that it was the other party's people who deliberately stumbled and made this green seedling thing go wrong.
When she and Chai Youchen were able to intervene and come in, it was already a foregone conclusion.
It would be nice if the prince was here, and it would be nice if Xie Baolin was here, but it's a pity that there are so many county orders like Wang Xie.
In this world, the most uncontrollable thing is human nature.
Chai Youchen and Xie Jingyi glanced at each other, and comforted in a strange tone, "Maybe there is something wrong in the middle, and I will know when I go to investigate, uncle and aunt should not talk about it first." ”
Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie nodded busily, "We can save it." In fact, we have heard people from the county seat next to us mention that they are two cents, but we dare not say anything, and we dare not ask anything. The county lord always has his reason for doing things. ”
"Yes, yes, let's go for dinner first, it's getting dark."
Xie Jingyi was a little surprised when she saw Chai Youchen walking naturally inside, she hurriedly followed and asked quietly, "How many days have you been here?" ”
Chai Youchen said lightly, "Three days." ”
It took three days to ask about the seedlings? It's too wasteful, isn't it?
As if seeing through Xie Jingyi's thoughts, Chai Youchen snorted, "Note." ”
Xie Jingyi suddenly realized that she almost forgot that Liu Yingying had sued her father about it.
The farmer's coarse tea and light rice were quickly used up by the group.
At the back of the Xie family's old house, there is an old well, when Xie Jingyi was a child, he came here to escape the summer, and the lobby brother would take their brothers and sisters to pick mountain grapes, and then they were in the well, the ice was not sweet, and it was so sour that it was bitter. After eating, at night, my mouth was unconsciously drooling, and I couldn't even bite the tofu.
Xie Jingyi stretched out his head and poked into the well, and under the moonlight, he could clearly see her dark shadow.
"Where is my heart...... Who gouged out my heart......"
Xie Jingyi burst out laughing, and when he turned his head, he saw Chai Youchen standing at the door.
As she spoke, she let go of her hand holding on the edge of the well, gave Chai Youchen a weird smile, and then tilted her body and fell into the well.
Before he had time to be frightened, he was taken aback by Chai Youchen.
"You broke my hand!"
Chai Youchen had a gloomy face, "Do you want to die like that?" Pei Shaodu is not dead, are you willing to die? ”
Xie Jingyi shook his hand, but he couldn't break free, "Just allow you to scare me, don't you scare you?" Pei Shao can't die, what does it have to do with me? I can't afford to die. Your scary skills are not as good as mine, and you can't afford to lose and get angry, which is really funny. ”
"If nothing else, the beauty I fished out of the well has more legs than the stone lion at your doorstep! Can you still be afraid of ghosts? ”
Chai Youchen snorted and said sullenly, "I've already seen you die once, and I don't want to see you a second time." ”
Xie Jingyi's heart was sour, and he said softly, "Let go." How's your check? ”
Chai Youchen let go of his hand, "Liu Yingying didn't deceive people. Li Jiaming is a merchant on the surface, but he has occupied half of the city of Hangzhou. Of the nine counties in Hangzhou, the county commanders of two counties are the uncles of the Li family. This is the third new appointment in Fuyang County. ”
Xie Jingyi was a little speechless, don't look at the county order, this official is small, but they are all parents and officials in charge.
"Song Zhizhou is a passer-by in Hangzhou, and he almost got it, and he rarely embarrassed people. Do you remember the mansion of Xu Tong's family? ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, "It's very big, it's about the same as your family." ”
Chai Youchen snorted, "That mansion was half sold and half given away by the Li family. Otherwise, the Xu family has no foundation, how can they buy such a good house in such a good place? Xu Tongju put a lot of effort into the promotion of the Li family. ”
"No evidence of Liu Cangsi's dereliction of duty was found, but Xu Tong's sentence was found. So I wanted to come to Fuyang County, starting with the uncle of the Li family. After all, he is a newcomer and has not yet controlled the field, so he is the easiest time to make mistakes. Your father has been working here for many years, and the last time I came, I knew them. Looking for evidence. ”
"In short, the Liu family and the Li family must have big problems. It's just that Liu Cangsi is far more cautious and experienced than Xu Tongju. I also found out that when Liu Cangsi married the third lady of the Li family, although the Li family was rich, it was far from reaching the level it is today. ”
Xie Jingyi thought for a while, "Tomorrow I will go back to Hangzhou City, and Song Guangxi will set up a peach blossom banquet on the Zhuangzi outside the city. The Liu family will also go, and I will find Liu Yingying to find out one or two when the time comes. She hates the Liu family so much, she will definitely reveal clues when she has the opportunity. ”
Chai Youchen nodded. After a long while, Fang said, "You say, are we wrong? ”
Xie Jingyi raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, "The official family also asked you this question before, how did you answer it?" ”
"That's right, it's those people who aren't wise enough. But now I don't think we're smart enough. ”
"If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong. If a person's thinking is the correct criterion, then there will be no opposition, I don't know, how correct the prince is, I only know that the current Da Chen must be incorrect. ”
"But I don't have a clear idea of what needs to be changed. Originally, I was just a puppet who listened to people's orders. Again, you're not necessarily right, but I'm sure there will be fewer mistakes. ”
"Didn't you tell me? The prince is the prince, the official family is the official family, we are that person's right-hand man, and like that person, we have the dream of enriching the country and strengthening the army. There is no reason, so he put himself in the position of the prince. ”
