Chapter 10 Mortgage of Guantian
When Han Mu heard this, he was happy, leaned forward and said: "This method is good, I like to borrow things the most, who do you say to borrow from, how to borrow?" β
Master Zhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, although it was different from what he had preset, but things were indeed developing in the way he imagined, "The Yao family, the Yue family and the Zeng family are all rich, and there must be food in the family. β
Han Mu: "Really? β
Gu Junruo didn't expect him to be so naΓ―ve, and glanced at him and looked at Master Zhao.
Master Zhao didn't expect this, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then thought about it for a while: "As long as the adults are sincere, I think there is a great possibility to borrow it." β
Han Mu had already calculated it, turned his head and asked Gu Junruo very seriously: "You said that I dragged them to drink and drank them all down, can they see my sincerity?" β
Zhao's main book: ...... Whenever this is said to him, he will not be so congested, he will only think that Han Mu is mocking him, but they know each other that the other party is still a smart person, he is not afraid of the other party's yin and yang, but he is afraid that the other party is really stupid.
But now Han Mu is talking to Gu Junruo, so he is not yin and yang, but really planned to do so.
Zhao's main book: ...... It's so good.
Gu Junruo looked at Master Zhao coldly, and felt that it was enough, so he spoke: "What kind of sincerity do they need?" β
When Master Zhao heard this, his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "After all, my lord is a new county order, and everyone doesn't know much about it, so I think they may need some collateral." β
Han Mu couldn't help but glance at him, it turns out that sincerity is to be replaced by material?
Still, he asked, "What collateral do you want?" β
Master Zhao pondered and said: "There are no good things in the county government, and they are generally afraid that they can't look down on it, maybe the official fields on the booklet can be taken and tried." β
"Oh~" Han Mu looked at him with a smile, "I understand, do you want to encroach on Guantian?" β
Master Zhao really didn't expect Han Mu to think of this, he was afraid and helpless, and he calmed down, "...... My lord, I am dedicated to the people of Yixian County, really! β
Han Mu snorted and asked, "Then using Guantian as collateral is what they revealed to you?" β
Master Zhao looked sad, "If we don't use the official land as a guarantee, what else can our county government take out as a mortgage?" β
Han Mu was also silent, Yixian looked very poor, and he really didn't look very rich.
He looked at Gu Junruo.
Gu Junruo shook his head at him slightly, asking him not to respond first, but to understand the situation before making a conclusion.
They were discussing, and the official who dragged the two of them down to play the board outside came back panting with the board, "My lord, they fainted, are they still fighting?" β
When Han Mu heard this, he decided to try the case first, so he waved his hand and said, "Wake people up and drag them up." β
So the servants went out, and one of them poured a bucket of water on them, and then dragged them back to the court.
The officials were also hungry, but this trip was beaten and delayed, and their stomachs were hungry faster, and their temper was a little bad, and when they left people behind, Chen Huang and Tian Feng, who were still a little drowsy, were instantly woken up.
Han Mu sat on the chair, patted the startling wood, raised his chin and said, "Let's talk, let's start with your first crime." β
This time, Tian Feng was the first to speak, "I'll come on, I'll come on, I'm a fellow villager with Chen Huang, and I know everything about him." β
He was afraid that Chen Huang would quarrel with the county magistrate again, and then he would be dragged down and beaten again.
Although it seems that he can't live anymore, he doesn't want to be beaten before his head is cut off, and he is in pain and hungry now, and he feels that his soul has been separated from his body, and he really doesn't want to be beaten again.
Chen Huang was probably also convinced, so he didn't speak silently, and let Tian Feng confess.
Gu Junruo took up the pen and sat down and began to record the evidence of their crimes.
When this case was finished, everyone in the hall was hungry, the faces of the officials were even more pale, and the movements of dragging the prisoner down were light and rough, Han Mu was speechless for a while when he saw such a contradictory action.
Master Zhao was also hungry and wanted to go home to eat something, so he and Han Mu said goodbye.
Han Mu quietly looked at the weak official outside the lobby, turned his head and said, "You stay and eat with us, and discuss the matter of food by the way." β
When the officials heard the word "eat" in their ears, they immediately turned their heads to look, their eyes were glowing green, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
When Gu Junruo saw it, he became uneasy.
Perhaps sensing her uneasy mood, Han Mu turned his head to look at her, and reached out to hold her hand, "Let's go, let the official who was on an errand in the yamen today go to the backyard to help, and have a meal together for a while." β
There was no need for Master Zhao to pass the word, the officials themselves heard it, and everyone cheered in a low voice, tied up Chen Huang and Tian Feng and threw them in the county ya's room and hurriedly followed.
Everyone followed Han Mu back to the backyard from the small door, and Xiaobei greeted him and said, "Childe, the rice has been cooked, but there are no dishes here, so ......"
"Leave the dishes alone, bring the rice and let everyone have a full meal."
Xiaobei: "......"
He lowered his voice and said, "Childe, we don't have much rations to bring, and there are so many people in the house, it's enough to eat until the day after tomorrow......"
Although everyone can't hear what they are saying, they can also know by looking at their expressions, and the people in Yixian County have seen this kind of look the most during this time.
The officials looked a little disappointed, and it seemed that they had nothing to eat.
Han Mu patted him, "There is so much nonsense, let you take it." β
Xiaobei saw that Gongzi didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and couldn't help but look at Gu Junruo.
Gu Junruo said: "If it's not enough, cook it now, cook it all into porridge, and add water to boil the rice that has been cooked, so much more." β
Xiaobei opened his mouth wide.
Han Mu glanced at him, "Huh? β
Xiaobei came back to his senses, and immediately bowed down and said, "The little one will be arranged." β
Han Mu waved his hand, casually pointed to a few officials and said, "Let them help, hurry up and cook." β
When the officials heard this, they immediately followed, and they didn't mind helping at all.
The officials took the initiative to help chop wood, wash pots, and light fires......
Xiaobei and Xiaochan took out the grain bag, washed and boiled the last rice, and a group of people waited around the stove.
Xiaobei couldn't help sighing when he saw them like this, no wonder their sons were soft-hearted, and they did look a little pitiful.
It's just that what will they eat tomorrow?
Han Mu was also throwing his hands at Master Zhao, "No, the food we brought has also been eaten, and I am going to be hungry like you, so let's work together, let's think about how to get food." β
Master Zhao didn't expect the new county order to be so open-minded, he was a little moved, but more worried.
Because the new county order doesn't seem to be very smart, can such an unsmart county order really raise food for Yi County?
