Chapter 231: Love the people like a son

Xia Haisheng smiled bitterly.

"We'd like to report it!

But the government doesn't listen to us at all.

Those officials have long been bought off by the landlords, and they collude with officials and businessmen.

As soon as we dare to resist, the officers and soldiers will come to our door.

We're just a bunch of ordinary people, what can we do?

But as long as we still have a little hope, we won't let go of our birthdays, but what do we do! ”

In the end, he and his two cousins couldn't help but redden, obviously despairing of this world.

Yu Yuan asked, "Then what is the matter with the conscription you are talking about?" ”

Xia Haisheng eased his mood before speaking.

"I don't know the specifics, I only know that the Eastern Expeditionary Army is recruiting, and there are still a lot of them."

Yu Xuan showed a thoughtful expression.

It's the Crusade again.

First the tax was raised, and then the land was annexed in large quantities, all in order to hoard money.

Not only that, but they also recruit troops.

This is obviously a big move!

Lu Yao's hands clenched into fists.

"What's the name of your local prefectural order?"

Xia Haisheng looked inexplicable: "I'm a flat-headed commoner, how can I know the name of the county magistrate?" I only know that his surname is Li, what are you asking for? ”

Lu Yao did not answer.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He originally thought that under his father's governance, Liaodong County should be thriving.

But I didn't expect that the officials below would dare to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and collude with the squires to fish and meat in the village!

When he returns home, he will tell his father what happened here, and let him punish those corrupt officials severely!

The villagers of Xiajia Village soon returned.

They placed the sick they brought with them in the shade of a tree.

Angelica and Yu Yuan brought a small table, and Luo Pingsha sat on the floor behind the table, checking the pulse of the patient.

Probably because Lopinsha had a baby face and looked like a half-grown child who had not grown up, the patients were skeptical of his medical skills.

It wasn't until Luo Pingsha told their condition just by diagnosing their pulse that they believed that the little Langjun in front of them had real skills.

It took him an hour to see all the patients.

He prescribed medicine for everyone, and the medicinal materials he used were all cheaper and more common.

The patients held the prescription as if they had found a treasure.

In this regard, Xia Haisheng was both happy and sad.

I am glad that the villagers' illness has finally been cured, but sadly because they have no money and cannot get medicine.

Taking a step back, even if they catch the medicine and cure the villagers' diseases, how will they live in the future? Do you want to live by robbery all the time?

Yu Yuanyuan took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to Xia Haisheng.

"I can see that you are assertive.

You can use the money to get medicine for the villagers and buy some food.

In the future, if you don't have a place to go, you can leave Liaodong County, go to Wangsong City, and find the local Liu County Order. ”

Then she pulled out another letter.

"After Liu County Ling sees this letter, he will arrange a place for you to go."

Xia Haisheng was so moved that he knelt down for her directly.

"The great kindness of the girl, we are unforgettable!"

Yu Yuanyu asked him to stand up and speak.

Xia Haisheng took the silver ticket and the letter with both hands, and his hands trembled with excitement: "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

Yu Yuanyuan felt that this was a good opportunity to brush up her reputation, she wanted to blow up her identity, but she was worried that her identity would be a threat to herself and the people around her after it was revealed.

After weighing it, she decided to continue to hide her identity.

"My surname is Yu, my husband's surname is Xiao, as for our identity......

When you arrive in Wangsong City and see Liu County's order, he will naturally tell you. ”

Xia Haisheng gave her a deep look.

"Madame Xiao saved our entire Xiajia Village, and you are like a reborn parent to us.

We will take this kindness to heart.

In the future, if you have any use for us, just say a word, even if you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, we will not hesitate! ”

Yu Yuan advised: "After you arrive in Wangsong City, you must live a good life, and if we have a fate in the future, we may be able to meet again." ”

Xia Haisheng nodded solemnly: "Hmm!" ”

Lu Yao was still immersed in anger and shock, and he didn't notice what Yu Xuanxuan said to Xia Haisheng.

Angelica and Lopinsha carried the low table back to the car.

Xia Haisheng led people to move the trees in the middle of the road.

Without any obstacles, the carriage was able to travel smoothly.

The villagers stood on the side of the road and watched the two wagons go away.

Then they passed through several villages, and the situation was almost the same as that of Xiajia Village, where all the villagers ran away, leaving only empty houses and large areas of abandoned fields that were still uncultivated.

The more Lu Yao looked at it, the more angry he became.

When he entered the city, he immediately said to the little scholar.

"I have something to do, you follow the three brothers and sisters of the Yu family to the inn first, and I will go to you when I finish my errand."

"Okay."

It was already evening.

By the time Lu Yao found the county office, it was dark.

He went up and knocked on the door, and the official who opened it was very impatient.

"Is there anything you can't wait for tomorrow to come back? Don't you see that it's all dark? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being unkind to you?! ”

Lu Yao directly took out the seal letter he was carrying.

"I'm the eldest son of the county guard's mansion, passing through here, I have something to talk to the county magistrate."

The official took the seal letter and looked at it suspiciously.

But he had never seen the seal of the county guard at all, so he couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the seal.

"You wait here for a while, and I'll go back."

The official turned around and ran to find the master, and showed the seal letter to the master.

As soon as the master saw the seal letter, he knew that it was true, and hurriedly went to inform the county order, and the two hurried to meet the eldest prince Lu.

The gate of the county government was opened, and Lu Yao was politely invited in by everyone.

The county ordered people to buy a banquet and treat Prince Lu well.

Lu Yao didn't have the heart to eat and drink at the moment.

He spoke.

"I passed through several villages along the way, and found that all the people in the villages had run out, and large areas of land were uncultivated and turned into wasteland, what happened?"

He thought that the county magistrate would be flustered and at a loss.

Who knew that the county order just smiled: "Childe doesn't know, it's those villagers who don't pay back the money they owe, and they hide by themselves, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

Lu Yao was angry: "It's all this time, are you still talking nonsense?"

I've already inquired, and those villagers were forced away by you!

It is you who have increased your taxes privately, forcing the people to live and can only sell their land at a low price. ”

The county magistrate hurriedly shouted.

"Childe misunderstood!

Xia Guan is just a seven-grade sesame official, how can he have the courage to increase taxes privately?

These are all orders from the county guard, and we are all acting on orders. ”

Lu Yao was incredulous.

"What do you say? My father has always loved the people like a son, how could he do such a thing?! ”

The county magistrate said: "We didn't leave a penny of the taxes we collected, and all of them were handed over to the county guard, if the prince still doesn't believe it, you can go and ask the county keeper about it." ”
