Chapter 15: Eat Together
"Okay, then my eldest brother will bother Dr. Wang, if you find anything, please tell me immediately, by the way, please don't let others disclose this matter for the time being."
"Yes, Miss."
Zhou Ziwei was lying on the bed, thinking about today's events, those workers were unwilling to say what was going on, where should she start?
Zhou Ziwei suddenly thought of the corpse, Uncle Li, maybe she can start here, thinking of this, Zhou Ziwei decided to take some time to go tomorrow.
In the room, Cen Beisheng was dressed in white, sat upright at the table, and after a while, he wrote down the things in his hand and handed them to the man in black beside him.
"Moon Shadow, send this letter back to the capital as soon as possible."
I saw the man in black bow slightly, put the letter in his sleeve, and jumped towards the window, and in a moment, the trace disappeared.
Cen Beisheng looked ahead, hoping that his letter could play a role to solve Brother Zhou's urgent need.
Through getting along in the past few days, Cen Beisheng found that Zhou Mingshu was actually talented, and he was also really thinking about the people, and he really did "live in the temple and worry about the people, and worry about the king when he is far away from the rivers and lakes." "This is really a talent, but how could such a person choose to follow the county lord? Cen Beisheng is really puzzled by this.
In the early morning of the next day, after Zhou Ziwei washed up briefly, had breakfast, and carefully advised Zhou Mingshu about things, she went out.
Zhou Ziwei just stepped into the room of the master bookkeeper, and saw that there was already someone in front of the table, Zhou Ziwei felt that she was the earliest, and she never thought that Cen Beisheng was one step ahead of herself.
"Brother Cen." Zhou Ziwei clasped her fists slightly and saluted, Cen Beisheng raised it, nodded lightly, and continued to bury her head between those documents, Zhou Ziwei didn't speak, so she silently handled her own affairs, fortunately, after a busy morning, she finally finished dealing with things.
Cen Beisheng walked to Zhou Ziwei's side, and looked at the paperwork that Zhou Ziwei had handled, and it was indeed done well.
"Brother Zhou, it's time to eat, why don't I be the east today, let's have a few drinks with Brother Zhou."
Zhou Ziwei did not refuse, so the two came to Yunlai Restaurant together, which is one of the best restaurants in Wanping County and is deeply liked by the people.
As soon as Xiao Er saw Zhou Ziwei and the two walking in, he immediately greeted him with a shy smile. "Two distinguished guests, please come here."
Xiao Er enthusiastically led Zhou Ziwei and the two to the box on the second floor, Zhou Ziwei ordered a few dishes at random, I have to say that the speed of serving the food here is really fast, and all the dishes will be served in a while.
"The two adults use it slowly, and if you have something, you can call the small one at any time." After speaking, Xiao Er was about to leave quietly, but was suddenly stopped by Zhou Ziwei.
"Little Er, please wait, I have a question, I don't know if I can ask you." Zhou Ziwei's face was soft, her eyes flashed with anticipation, and Xiao Er couldn't refuse, so she had to say with a smile.
"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"I would like to ask how the price of rice has been recently, and what is the approximate price?" Although Lu Shicong said that he had already agreed that day, Zhou Ziwei knew that these businessmen were the most treacherous, and they would definitely think of other methods, and maybe they would delay for some time before starting to implement them.
It's just that Xiao Er's words made Zhou Ziwei a little surprised, but she never thought that this Lu Shicong had actually carried it out, and this matter was indeed unexpected by Zhou Ziwei.
"Okay, Xiao Er, you go down." Zhou Ziwei smiled slightly, and Xiao Er quietly retreated.
"Lu Shicong actually gave up the profits, and he can be regarded as talking." Cen Beisheng picked up the white wine jug on the table, poured a full glass of wine, handed it to Zhou Ziwei, and then poured himself another glass.
"This is really difficult for Lu Shicong, but this is a good thing for us, we now want to help the people avoid the difficulties of this winter, and also ensure a bumper harvest next year, our net worth and lives are all on this."
Zhou Ziwei gently picked up the wine glass and took a sip slightly, it was not very spicy, she had some amount of alcohol, and thought that the ancient wine would be very spicy, but she never thought that it would be the fragrance here with a faint fruit fragrance, sweet and sour, and the taste was very good.
"I'll give Brother Cen a drink." Zhou Ziwei raised her glass towards Cen Beisheng, no matter what Cen Beisheng is, during this time, he has helped him a lot.
Zhou Ziwei took another small sip before putting down the cup, picking up chopsticks, and putting a piece of braised pork into her mouth.
"Well, this meal is pretty tasty."
Cen Beisheng picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in Zhou Ziwei's bowl, Xu is Zhou Mingshu is not very tall, so he will take extra care of it, but it is normal.
"Well, it's not bad, by the way, the problem of rice is solved for the time being, but after paying the tax, the people are still in a predicament, although the price of rice has decreased, but there are still some people who can't buy rice, what can I do?"
"This problem cannot be completely solved, and it is destined to face such a situation."
Cen Beisheng's eyes lost some color and became dim, yes, from ancient times to the present, anyone wants to change the current gap between the rich and the poor, but this is not a simple matter, this is an unsolvable matter.
No matter how hard the imperial court puts in, only some people, or some middle-level people, can be changed in the end. Those who are at the lower level are still in dire straits, and this is an unsolvable problem.
Zhou Ziwei also fell into silence, can't you care about these people who are in the most urgent situation, can't those rich people take out one ten-thousandth?
"By the way, I'll send someone to keep an eye on that mine first, in case they have any evidence to destroy, and there will be no evidence at that time."
Cen Beisheng saw that the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Zhou Ziwei frowned slightly, knowing that she must be worried about those people, so she wanted to change the topic.
Zhou Ziwei came back to her senses, nodded, and looked at Cen Beisheng gratefully, "Okay, thank you Brother Cen, just don't let them notice." ”
"I know this, it's just that I have a question I want to ask Brother Zhou for advice." Cen Beisheng's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, with the slightest hint of exploration in his eyes, and he looked at Zhou Ziwei with a calm face.
"Brother Cen has praised it falsely, how can Brother Cen ask me for advice? However, Brother Cen said that it doesn't matter, if I know, I will come one by one. ”
Zhou Ziwei thought that Cen Beisheng was going to ask some political questions, but she never thought that Cen Beisheng was asking questions about herself.
