Chapter 87
A group of people came along the dirt road, and a few servants escorted seven or eight people. The person at the front was an old man with almost white hair and beard. The old man tried to straighten his back, but the shackles on his body made him unable to do so. Thirty pounds of flail is worn on the body, and young people can't stand it, let alone such an old man.
"What's going on?" Seeing the old man walking in front, Chen Fu's face changed and he asked in a deep voice.
"Yo ......! Old Governor, how did you have time to come to this place? The unhappy leader, who was still holding his chest straight and proud like a rooster, immediately ran over like a pug when he saw Chen Fu. gave Chen Fushen a salute, and his head was almost stuffed into the crotch of his pants.
"It's you kid! Little Leizi, what's going on? Lao Yu is my old brother, and you take the flail to beat him. Your kid's dog is getting bold! Chen Fu didn't give this errand called Xiao Leizi a good face at all, and asked with a dark face behind his back.
"Oops! The old governor forgives sins! Xiao Leizi saw that Chen Fu actually pulled down his face, and fell to the ground with weak knees.
"Old Governor, this is not a villain. It's this old ...... The old man took someone out to help people without permission. The county lord looked for someone to work, but he couldn't find anyone. That's ...... Only then did he order the villain to arrest them back and parade them through the streets. He also said, "You want to flail this...... The old man was home for three days. ”
It seems that Chen Fu is very horizontal here, and when the messenger called Xiao Leizi spoke, he shook like a swing.
"Three days in the yoll, you look back. How old is he, and he hasn't been flailed for three days before he dies. Go back, and say that the old man stayed. If you county lord has something to say, just let him ask me. ”
"No!" Xiao Leizi stood up as if he had been pardoned and trotted to the old fisherman. "My eyes are fucking panting, and I didn't listen to what the old governor said. Hurry up and release the people! Damn, hurry up, wait for the reward! ”
In front of Chen Fu, the pug-like little thunder immediately turned into a husky in front of the messengers. The two officers were slow to do their work and were kicked twice.
"Big brother! I told you to transfer to another country a long time ago, but you just won't do it. Look at the ...... of these days! ”
"Brother! Your kind old guy has received it, but you can help the old man transfer his nationality alone. But there are so many people here? They are all children left behind by the old brothers, and my old fellow still has some faces here to beg for some money and food. One day my old bones are gone, and these children are not starving to death!
If you really think about your brother, just say good things about the above. The money and food owed to us were distributed, and in August we owed a month, and in September we owed another month. If it doesn't happen again this October, people will starve to death. ”
"Good! I'll say, I'll speak! Chen Fu's heart was also helpless, he knew in his heart that all this money and food had been stuck. Maybe it was embezzled by the county, and now let me take the money outside. That's no different from picking meat out of someone's mouth! Who wants to take out the money in their pockets.
Chen Fu was worried, and suddenly saw Li Xiao beside him. My eyes lit up immediately!
"Brother Xiao'er!" Chen Fu looked at Li Xiao with a smile.
"Old Governor, you are ......!" Li Xiao swore that he had never seen Chen Fu smile so kindly.
"My old brother once followed Chen Dashuai to fight Japanese slaves in North Korea, and he had a life-saving kindness to the old man. If you are willing to take good care of his family, the old man promises you to get you 500 high-quality artisan households. It's definitely not comparable to these people here! ”
Li Xiao grinned, the old man in front of him was not seventy but eighty. This gets ...... back!
Seeing Li Xiao's bitter face, Chen Fu gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind: "Six hundred households, there can't be more." The old man only has such a big authority! ”
"Good ......! All right! Li Xiao reluctantly agreed.
Seeing that Li Xiao agreed, Chen Fu hurriedly went to tell Lao Yu about it. For him, it is to find a way out for the old brother who was born and died. There is one less worry in my heart!
Through this period of contact, Chen Fu can also see it. Although Li Xiao seems to be a bit of a philistine, he is a good person in his bones, and he will never be able to do things that hurt nature and reason. Not to mention anything else, there have been too many things to kill good and risky people in recent years. But what Li Xiao sent was a real Tartar head.
"No! You have to take all the thirty-five families here, one hundred and forty-three people. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao agreed to the old fisherman but became stubborn.
Li Xiao was very happy in his heart, this time it depends on what you old Chen Fu will do. A family has a maximum of a dozen people, which is still negotiable. But to raise 143 people, large and small, this is a bit excessive. No one is a benevolent church!
"My old brother ......!" Chen Fu's nose was almost crooked, but there was no way to take this old fisherman. In order to save his life, Lao Yu was covered with seven knife wounds. Bones can be seen in all wounds, and if there is no one else, their own bones are rotten.
Back then, he begged Chen Dashuai to help him change his nationality, but the old man was worried about the families of these brothers who died in the war and the disabled brothers. Only then did he stay, and with his face, he begged for some good work for these people, or asked for some money and food to make ends meet. If it weren't for Lao Yu, I'm afraid these people wouldn't even be able to survive thirty percent now!
"Brother Xiao! You see if this matter can help the old man, even if the old man owes you a favor. In the future, as long as the old man can speak, he will definitely not have a second word. Chen Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said.
Look at the gray-haired old man, and then look at the malnourished children. Li Xiao's heart also softened, so he should do good deeds. What a bad guy has also beaten devils in North Korea!
"Good ......! All right! ”
"Done! At first glance, Brother Xiao is a refreshing person! Some time ago, was your old fifth looking for an ore? Chen Fu said to Li Xiao with a smile.
"Do you know about this, old governor?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
"This Shandong coastal matter, what can you do without our Chen family's words? Not to mention those water bandits and pirates, even if it is the Commodity Inspection Department, the tax supervisor, and all kinds of yamen, just pick one out and they can eat you to death.
Since you helped the old man, the old man will simply help you again. The kind of ore you want, there is a mine near Laoshan Mountain. The old man can be a middle-aged man and help you buy the mine from the county government. How is it? ”
Li Xiao's eyes lit up, this is a lot of money! You must know that the fifth master pulled a boat back with more than 1,000 catties, and it cost 3,000 taels of silver. Buy a mine now, and I don't know how much money I will save in the future.
Not to mention raising more than 100 people in such an old man's family, it is not a problem to come to more than 100 people.
Looking back, how did Li Xiao see how cute the white-bearded old fisher was. This is a big fuwa!
