Chapter 518: Shifting the Wind
Ji Yun is still serious and continues to lie and bluff people.
"Now that this watermill has been built, if it takes less than 20 years to demolish it, it will cost money. The government will definitely not pay this money, and it will have to be distributed to your families at that time. Now that you have thought about it, Lord Liao, you can settle the score. β
Fortunately, he was once "trained" by the subordinates sent by the beautiful girl, and Liao Wenzhong suddenly felt in his heart, came over and pretended, and began to play with his fingers.
"If you want to talk about the cost of timber, craftsmen, and horses to repair this waterwheel, I will calculate how many taels of silver it should be......
Before he could finish his nonsense, the old people looked at each other and cautiously interrupted, "Then, as long as it is used for twenty years, there is no need to give money?" β
Liao Wenzhong also learned to be obedient, a serious nonsense, "That's what I said for the time being." I don't know the details yet, so I'll wait for the announcement. β
An old man began to mutter, "Otherwise, don't dismantle it." Such a large thing is not cheap. It is not a small amount to be spread out to each family. β
"That's it, if you don't let it go first, it's important for us to sacrifice to the gods."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Then the old people said that they were willing to take a step back and not dismantle the water truck. But to sacrifice, ask for rain!
An old man was very displeased, "But these people are not happy to produce some three livestock fruits, and they say that we are ruining things." Can this worship of the gods be said to be a waste? β
It has to be!
Ji Yun immediately said that he was very supportive of the old people's decision.
Not only did he support it, but he also expressed his willingness to write a poem for them and read it to the gods.
"However, we worship the gods, and we pay attention to sincerity and spirit. Pour good things into the river, in case the gods are not at home and go out to visit the door, what if these good things are taken by those fish, shrimp and turtles? When the fairy came back and saw that the meat was gone, and there was only a pile of bones left, wouldn't it make his old man angry? β
Heyβ
This question stopped the old people.
At this time, the new village chief, who had been beaten to a blue nose and swollen face, Yu Shukui also came back to his senses and said, "I'm not stopping and not letting the elders sacrifice. It's just this layer that I'm thinking about. For example, when each family worships their ancestors during the New Year, don't they all take offerings and worship them in front of their ancestors before they are distributed to the whole family to enjoy? Won't our ancestors bless us? β
This......
Definitely not!
Liao Wenzhong also followed suit, "So we can also change this custom appropriately, and after sacrificing to the gods, we will divide the things and let everyone get some blessings." Kowtow to the gods a few more times, and give more incense, so that you are not afraid of being stolen by thieves. β
That's a good point.
The young man in the village echoed, "It's good to sacrifice like this!" We are as sincere, and the gods will know when they see it. β
"That's right, immortals are all kind-hearted, and if you are not good, you can't be immortals. As long as we are sincere, where is the fairy accounting better than this? β
There was a more clever woman who hurriedly pushed her own children and pulled her elders. Sajiao said that he was willing to sacrifice like this.
There was a little boy of four or five years old, who was pampered, pouting and pulling his grandfather to hum.
"Grandpa, don't you feed the fish with meat, but don't you feed your grandchildren? Then I won't be with you in the future, huh! β
The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old man.
As soon as the little grandson stomped his feet and squeezed out the tear bag, the old man was out of line.
"It's up to you, it's all up to you. In the future, if not, just change it. β
Seeing that both sides took a step back, a dispute was resolved. Suddenly, in the crowd, there was a lady who sneered angrily.
"I heard that in other villages, there are still sacrifices with boys and girls. However, a few livestock fruits are reluctant to come out, and it is strange that the gods are willing to bless them! β
At this moment, His Royal Highness in the carriage suddenly narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly.
And Yu Shukui looked at the pig's head face and sneered, "Auntie, it was the old village chief who came up with the idea behind your back, and let you provoke everyone, right?" β
He is honest, but not stupid.
Things are like this, and they are especially aimed at him, and they have to dismantle the water truck.
Come to think of it, only the old village chief who was dismissed would be so bad.
He has always been narrow-minded and eager to compete for power. has been the village chief for so many years, and he has been exploiting everyone.
Now that this power is missing, it is natural to be unconvinced.
But the wife of the old village chief's family didn't recognize it when she was exposed, "I just have one thing to say." Could it be that you are a big man, and you still have to deal with my wife? β
Yu Shukui really can't say anything.
If the man from his family came out, there would have to be a fight on the scene. I just sent an old woman out, how is this good?
"Go, take the people down, ask for clarification."
His Royal Highness the King of Han, gave a faint order in the carriage, and Ping'an knew what to do.
Like an eagle carrying a chicken, he carried the wife of the old village chief to Liao Wenzhong, "If there are people who spread rumors and make trouble, trying to destroy the yamen and set up public property, what should be the crime?" β
Liao Wenzhong opened his mouth and replied, "Ten slaps of the mouth." Thinking of his first offense, and being a woman, the affection can be halved. β
Very good.
Ping'an's father-in-law has been in charge of punishment for many years, and now he is accompanied by two well-trained little eunuchs, who are responsible for memorizing laws and playing boards.
At that moment, he took out the cowhide wooden board for the palm mouth from the baggage, and walked to the old village chief's wife with an expressionless face.
There were two boards, and the corners of her mouth suddenly bloomed, and golden flowers appeared in front of her eyes.
The old village chief's wife suddenly called out as if killing a pig, "Don't fight, don't fight, I'll move, I'll move!" It was the dead ghost of my house who called me, and he taught me what he said. He said that he would dismantle the water wheel, so that Yu Shukui, the village head, could not do it! β
Ping An asked, "If you want to dismantle the water wheel, why do you want to talk about sacrificing to the gods?" It's not really recruited! β
The old village chief's wife was afraid of being beaten, so she had to tell the truth, "He, he also said that the people in the village would not choose him as the village chief anyway, so it would be better to break the fortune together." The invited Daxian agreed, negotiated the deal, and divided half of it. β
What, is that?
Now the villagers are frying!
There was no need for a retrial, and someone rushed to the old village chief's house and pulled him out to confront him.
"Say! Did you say these words? β
The old village chief still wanted to shirk his responsibility, "Then, then I'm also angry, who knows that this old woman will take it seriously?" β
Liao Wenzhong was angry, "It's all in this field, and you actually push it on a woman." It seems that the whip last time hasn't taught you a lesson, so it's better to go back to the yamen with me and eat in prison for a few days. β
The old village chief suddenly panicked, "I'm me, I'm wrong, can't I?" β
He still wanted to be verbose, and asked about the matter, "What did you just say, which village is the one who sacrifices virgins and boys?" β
"Zhao Jiagou!"
Liao Wenzhong's mouth was wide open, almost stuffed into duck eggs.
As soon as he returned to Tonghua Village, Tonghua Village almost smashed the waterwheel.
Praise Zhao Jiagou once, Zhao Jiagou actually made the birth sacrifice of boys and girls?
Is this and this, is this their own blindness, or are they too unbridled?
