Chapter 520: The guest officer laughed
Capital
Jiang Dejing's mansion.
"Master, the nephew of the Ministry of Rites is outside asking to see you." In the study, the housekeeper stood behind Jiang Dejing and said respectfully.
"Tell him I'm resting." Jiang Dejing put the brush in his hand on the pen mountain, and commanded without looking back.
"Yes, sir."
The butler nodded and withdrew.
This is already half an hour after the lord is on duty, and the seventh guest who has come to ask to see the lord.
Although there were a lot of them in the past, they didn't come up in such a swarm.
The housekeeper personally came to the gate of the mansion and met Yu Shilang's nephew.
"Yu Gongzi, it's really unfortunate that our master has already rested."
"Rest!?"
Yu Gongzi was stunned for a moment and looked at the sunset hanging in the west. "It's just past unitary time."
There was a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone.
The housekeeper frowned, even if he knew that you represented Yu Shilang, what kind of thing was it in front of the master? Even if Yu Shilang came here, he didn't dare to be so presumptuous.
"Yu Gongzi, the master has rested, please go back."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the housekeeper's words, Yu Gongzi's face changed, and he quickly put away the dissatisfaction.
"I'm here on behalf of my uncle, and I have something important to ask to see Elder Jiang Ge. Please be accommodating with the housekeeper."
The butler, who was just dissatisfied, was completely angry this time.
There were several people in front, but none of them were as unskilled as Yu Gongzi in front of them.
I said that the master was asleep, what did you ask me to accommodate? Will I take you to wake him up in front of the old man's bed? Or tell you that the master is lying to you?
Where did Yu Shilang find such a stunned young man who doesn't know the world?
"Did Yu Gongzi stuff donkey hair in his ears? If it doesn't work, find a Lang Zhong to take a look, why can't you understand people?" The butler squinted at the words and turned and went into the house.
"Shut the door!"
"Okay!"
Then came the cheerful response of Menzi.
Looking at the tightly closed door of the mansion, Yu Gongzi's expression was unpredictable.
In the end, he didn't dare to say a cruel word, turned around and left in ashes.
Just kidding, have you seen how many people dare to go wild at the door of the cabinet ministers?
After going back, Yu Gongzi saw his uncle.
"Uncle, the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion said that Elder Jiang Ge had already fallen asleep. I didn't see it."
Yu Gongzi sat on the chair angrily, picked up the teacup and poured a large sip of tea to himself.
"Got it. You go back first."
"Go back? Outside are now clamoring for His Majesty to implement a ladder of tax payment, and they are all waiting to see if they want to sell their land. What should I do when I go back? To sell or not to sell?"
"Have you sold all the others?"
"Who dares to sell it? As long as you open your mouth, everyone will sell it, which will inevitably cause the price to fall, and when the time comes, you won't be able to sell at the price, and it will also make those mud legs cheaper. Now everyone is showing their magic and asking for news."
"Let's wait and see, I can't come forward in this matter. If it weren't for the friendship between me and Jiang Gong, I wouldn't have dared you to come and visit."
"Didn't you give a gift?"
"Gifts? Did you get the donkey kicked in your brain? Which of these elders will take a fancy to your little thing? Aren't all the flowers that Your Majesty has rewarded in good condition?" ….
"What then?"
"What can't you do? Just look at what people do! Wouldn't there be less fields? Can you starve to death with a few hundred acres of land? You have a mud leg, go back three generations, and your grandfather is also born with mud legs!
If you don't want to fight, go back and tell your father, don't come to me with a little bit of, really think that Jinyiwei eats dry food?"
Yu Shilang also lost patience with this nephew who was like a rice bucket, and got up and brushed his sleeves away.
Yu Gongzi was left alone in the chair and did not say a word.
He looked at the butler who was waiting to see off the guests,
Angrily, he put down the teacup in his hand and walked out.
Hum!
Now that the official is bigger, I want to put aside the relationship.
If it weren't for my father's delicious food and drink for you to study, would you be where you are today?
Thinking like this, Yu Gongzi left Yufu and returned to Changping overnight.
As the incident fermented, Kyori became more and more lively.
On the one hand, the people of Jinyiwei constantly fanned the flames, and on the other hand, they created the illusion of intense deliberation.
And Li Zicheng, who put forward this suggestion, is completely famous all over the world, and he has been in the limelight for a while.
But his evaluation is polarized.
The people who were looking forward to buying the land gave him a thumbs up and praised him as a good official who thought about the people wholeheartedly. Just look at this suggestion to His Majesty, it is clear that it is to slaughter those big dogs, and then distribute the meat to the people. What a good officer!
[In view of the general environment, and those big families involved in their own interests, they gritted their teeth when they mentioned his name! ] As the deputy director of the Daming Taxation Bureau, he was originally standing on the opposite side of these landlords, and he was afraid of hatred when he mentioned it. If it is said that the previous tax policy was to take money out of the pockets of these people, then once it is implemented this time, it will be a meat from them, and who can agree to it?
Thinking of characters like Yu Gongzi, there are not a few in the capital. Each automatically used his own relationship to begin to inquire about the truth of the matter.
Zhu Youzhen had expected such a situation, except for a few cabinet members and Li Zicheng, the initiator, few people knew the truth of the matter.
Three days passed in a flash, early in the morning of the fourth day.
Liu San, who has been running around, learned a piece of news that made him excited!
An old man surnamed Liu in Changping plans to sell land! Seven taels and one acre! It's enough to sell hundreds of acres!
It's cheap again!
When Liu San learned of this, he immediately ran home and borrowed an ox cart from a neighbor and ran to Changping.
The situation in Changping is similar to that of Tongzhou two days ago, although it is not crowded with people, but it is far more lively than usual.
Liu San was not in the mood to secretly inquire about the news anymore, and as soon as he entered the city, he found a tavern guy and stuffed two companions.
"Little brother, I'll ask you about something."
The guy is not very old, his eyes are not small, he looked at Liu San with a dripping smile, rubbed the two copper plates in his hands, stuffed them into his arms, and said with a smile.
"You bought the land, right?"
"How do you know? Okay, where is the old man who sold the land?" Liu San subconsciously asked, but thinking that he was definitely not the first to come, he didn't care about the two copper plates he had lost, and asked more critical questions.
"Go east along this street, and you will see a chicken shop that turns west, then turns right and left."
The guy had obviously said this more than once, and it sounded incredibly skillful.
"Can my bullock cart be stored here temporarily?"
"It can be, just put it in the backyard, but it will cost you another money."
"How much?"
"Ten copper plates."
"So expensive!?"
"Ten copper plates in one hour!"
"Why don't you go and rob it?"
"Objectively speaking, it's funny, how can the money come quickly when you grab money."
