Chapter 65: A Desperate Shot

Seeing that Wu Siyuan had finally arrived, the county government secretary ran up and shook his head and tail as if he had seen his master's dog. Wu Siyuan saw that he was so flattering in front of everyone, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. However, at this time, he still needed to help, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, forced a smile and encouraged a few words, took the register in the hand of the little official and looked at it, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Why hasn't this piece of official land been measured yet? Today is the fourth day of the sixth month, and the state government requires the official to hand in the land book before the eighth day of the sixth month. ”

What he said was clearly to reprimand the little officials who were doing things, but secretly he was warning everyone in the Jiang family: "Lao Tzu has the sword of Shangfang, you had better be obedient and interesting, otherwise you will be responsible!" ”

His code words, Li Qin, these hairy boys who are not deeply involved in the world, did not understand, and they were really bluffed. The two lives were small but understood, so they took the initiative to stand up and do a thousand blessings:

"Master Li, let's meet again!"

Li Rusong seemed to have just seen her at this time, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Hehe, Mrs. Jiang, don't come to harm." Is Xie Yuangong okay? ”

Xiao Xiaoyan was overjoyed when he heard this, didn't this Wu Siyuan even know that Zhixuan was summoned by the emperor? Why not use this matter and suppress his prestige. Thinking of this, he smiled: "Don't you know, adults?" My husband, a few days ago, had been ordered to enter Beijing to accompany him. If you want to come to the emperor's side, you should be okay! ”

Sure enough, the lethality of this sentence is not trivial. Wu Siyuan immediately changed color, and said with a dry smile: "This official is indeed ...... Still...... I haven't heard of such a happy event, but Xie Yuangong didn't have anyone to inform him...... Belch...... Madame Mo is not the official of the book, right? ”

Does it really work?

Xiao Xin was ecstatic, but there was still that calm smile on his face: "How dare the people dare to deceive the county lord!" ”

Wu Siyuan was short of breath for a while, now it's okay, until the last moment, he really doesn't dare to tear his face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said helplessly:

"Madam, please forgive Madame for this expropriation of official land, the county government will compensate Madame for the loss according to the highest standard!"

The onlookers felt a burst of contempt in their hearts, and they really thought that this county lord had swallowed the sky and dared to do it. I didn't expect that I just heard that the Duke of Xie Yuan was edicted to enter Beijing and drive with him. But they don't want to think about the people who can always accompany the holy driver, except for those palace people and palace maids, who is a fuel-efficient lamp? How can a small county magistrate dare to provoke such a character?

Compared to these people, the small brain is much clearer. Wu Siyuan is so determined, and even does not hesitate to whisper in front of the people, he must have no fear. I really shouldn't have exposed my hole cards so early, but there are too few cards available in my hand, and my heart to keep the farm is too eager, and I fell in love with this fox.

However, if there is no miracle at this time, I am afraid that in addition to acceptance, there will only be a way to violently resist the law, but the result will only be worse, this is the lice on the bald head, obviously.

In desperation, I wanted to try to find out how much money the county government would lose. As long as you can recover the capital, with your own knowledge and some experience you have mastered, as long as you have a piece of land, it is not difficult to build another farm, anyway, the core technology is still in your own hands. It's just that it's not easy to find such a good place again. Oh yes, there are also the three restaurants that have signed a supply agreement, if they can't start supplying after the autumn, the amount of compensation will also be counted.

"It doesn't matter, the people will definitely fully support the decree of the adults. I wonder what the amount of compensation proposed by the county government is? ”。 If you can't change it, then you can consider bargaining.

Jiang Zhixuan stretched out three fingers: "The county government will compensate three hundred taels of silver, and in addition, the official will add another one hundred taels to express the official's apology for this matter!" ”

When the surrounding people heard him report such a number, they all gasped. You must know that during the Zhenguan period, the products were abundant and the prices were extremely low. The purchasing power of silver is unusually strong, and one tael of silver is enough for a man in the prime of life to feed for three or four months.

Just when all the people were envious, Xiaoxiao smiled coldly:

"Do you know, how much does my Jiang family farm invest in? If it can't be produced after autumn, what will be the loss? ”

Wu Siyuan really didn't know the detailed cost of this farm, so he gave an inquiring look.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao cleared her throat: "Since the adults don't know, the people's daughter will calculate for the adults: the Jiang family farm, in the early stage, invested nearly six hundred taels of silver, if it cannot be produced after the autumn, the loss and compensation will reach nearly one thousand taels!" As for the blood, sweat and energy of the people's daughter and the Jiang family's uncle, in order to cooperate with the county lord, it has not been counted at all! ”

The initial investment is not much different from Wu Siyuan's estimate. As for the loss, he took it for granted that Xiaoxiao had counted the products on the farm. However, he was not interested in dwelling on this issue, because he had already set a bottom line in his heart: if the compensation exceeded five hundred taels, it would be impossible to say, so he had to drag the young Yin Zhu Xin of Jingzhao Mansion, who blackmailed him with three thousand taels of silver. Directly levied in the name of Jingzhao Mansion, if one day Jiang Zhixuan really rises to the top, if he wants to settle the account, he has to find Zhu Xin to calculate. Amitabha, friends of the dead are not dead and poor, Lord Zhu, you can ask for more blessings.

"Madam, this amount of compensation was obtained by the county government through estimation, and it cannot be so accurate. However, since the lady said so, the official made another exception and added another hundred taels on the spot. A total of five hundred taels will be compensated to the lady! So, Madame should be satisfied, right? ”

"My lord, the maiden has already said that the initial investment of six hundred taels and the loss of nearly one thousand taels, if the adult can't guarantee these, the folk girl may be difficult to explain to my husband, it's best to wait for my husband to return from the palace, and then measure it!" Seeing that he never mentioned the matter of compensating for the loss, Xiaoxiao knew that he deliberately ignored it. was angry in his heart, and his attitude became more and more tough, and Wu Siyuan didn't dare to really do anything to himself!

Wu Siyuan's handsome face could no longer maintain that warm smile, and it was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. This stinky woman, don't be ashamed of your face, then don't blame the official for being polite. Thinking of this, he took out two documents from his sleeve. One is a notice from the county government, and the other is a letter from the Jingzhao government requesting the expropriation of official land. took these two documents and shook them in front of everyone in the Jiang family:

"I'm sorry, ma'am! This official has done his best, but the order of the upper peak, this official can't help but carry it out! The promise of the official is still valid, and the compensation is five hundred taels. If the lady agrees, she can pay immediately. If Mrs. still has any objections, go to the state capital to find Lord Shaoyin to theorize! ”

After saying this, Wu Siyuan turned back to the group of officials and officials: "Start measuring the acres of land, and those who dare to obstruct will arrest their own officials in the name of obstructing official business!" ”

"Who dares to move?" , Xiaoxiao also said loudly, and took a step forward again! "My husband is the hand-picked Xie Yuan, it's better for adults to think clearly and be cautious!"

Li Qin also took a step forward and stood side by side with Xiaoxiao: "Lord Wu, aren't you going to arrest someone?" This son is also here, so let's catch it together! "Brother Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng, as well as Uncle Jiang, Brother Wang and his wife, these farm workers who have been impressed by Xiaoxiao's benevolence and generosity, also stood closely behind Xiaoxiao. Although they didn't dare to be as careless as Xiaoxiao and Li Qin, they also begged loudly: "Please raise your noble hand!" ”

The people of ten miles and eight townships, seeing this county order that was not active in disaster relief, wanted to forcibly expropriate the farm of the female bodhisattva. Suddenly, the people were indignant, and many people couldn't bear it anymore, and they also stood behind Xiaoxiao, together with Uncle Jiang and them, shouting: "Please be gracious!" ”

Wu Siyuan saw that the scene was a little out of control, and he was secretly anxious in his heart. There were a lot of them, and many of them had hoes, rakes and other farm tools in their hands. If you provoke them, if there is any armed fight, it will be a big event, and if you don't make a good scene, you will alarm the heavens. However, the idea that the people do not fight with the government has always made him fearless. Dozens of officials from the county government also hurriedly ran over, drew their swords, and surrounded him in the middle.

Now that he had a sufficient sense of security, he shouted loudly: "Listen to the order, the county government master immediately led people to start measuring." The rest are on guard, and if anyone dares to stop them, arrest them immediately! ”

Xiaoxiao and Li Qin glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts: It seems that they are really going to violently resist the law.

Just in the tranquility when the officials of the county government and the Jiang family were tense, and the anger of the people was about to erupt, there was a rush of horses' hooves on the Qingshi official road. A duck-like voice came from afar:

The Divine Decree is ........................!
