After Chen Shuzuo finished speaking, Zhao Sanlao had been pondering.

He understood the meaning of Chen Shuzuo's words.

Because if they want to lose, in addition to being exploited by the local county officials, the bigger ones are actually the warehouse officials of the delivery land.

Often you pay a hundred stones, and when one stone is going to be lost by them. But the number of those who enter the warehouse must be sufficient, so that the difference needs to be made up by those who serve in the service.

This is not a small amount, and now Chen Shuzuo means that as long as they don't keep quiet, this loss does not need to be borne by their new township.

It has to be said that this is quite tempting.

But Zhao Sanlao didn't dare to accept this matter. Why? Because he didn't trust the Chen Shuzuo in front of him.

Even if Chen Shuzuo's words are good, the risks in the process of transferring all the way are borne by their Xinxiang.

If it was time for peace, the treasury official on the opposite side really counted the grain, and then the difference was huge. At that time, the difference will be borne by Xinxiang.

This kind of celestial event of greedy for military rations is definitely not the work of Chen Shuzuo alone, there must be someone behind it. And once there is a real big man who ends up greedy for ink, this number is so big that they can't afford to lose their entire Xinxiang when the time comes.

Zhao Sanlao has been in the army for a long time, and the older he gets, the more afraid he becomes, so he doesn't want to take advantage of this, so he just doesn't speak.

But Zhao Sanlao didn't speak, but Chen Shuzuo was annoyed.

He said lightly:

"Okay, I heard in the temple that your Xinxiang people have the right idea, I was still strange at the time, no matter how capable it is, it's just a group of outsiders, how can you have the right idea? I've seen it today. Okay, that's all for today's meal. ”

After speaking, Chen Shuzuo didn't look at Zhao Sanlao again, and then pulled the two helpers and walked to the door.

At this time, Deng Dang was a little anxious, he turned his head to Zhao Sanlao and said:

"Third Elder, this matter can be discussed again."

After speaking, he laughed with him first and asked Chen Shuzuo not to leave in a hurry.

Then Deng Dang walked up to Zhao Sanlao by himself and said in a low voice:

"Third Elder, didn't you hear that? This time, there are big people up there who want to do this. Whether we like it or not, we'll do it. If we cooperate, we can still take advantage of it. Otherwise, it will annoy the county, and we will be sad in the future. ”

Seeing Deng Dang like this, Zhao Sanlao could only explain in a low voice:

"Adam, do you know why this county has to let our township practice this errand?"

Deng Dang was stunned for a moment and figured it out:

"Third Elder, are you saying that they never thought about giving us a way to live? Is it to plant this for us? ”

Zhao Sanlao didn't expect Deng Dang to think like this, so he shook his head hurriedly:

"No, who does such things is not hidden. What good is it for these people to plant us and then make a fuss? What I mean is that our Xinxiang are all outsiders, and once we do such a thing for the county, we will be taken care of by those people in the future. In the future, there will be more work like this. ”

Deng Dang secretly laughed that he was thinking complicated, and seeing that Zhao San was always worried about this, he said:

"Third elder, if you can manage it in the future, I will do this errand. Let's talk about this year's servitude first. In this world, we always have to find someone to rely on. Originally, we thought that Wang Shuai was something to rely on, but you see that the Fumin households in other places went to visit Wang Shuai, which one was not closed? So, this time may be a good thing, with the support of the county in the future, there will be a lot less inverted stoves in the vicinity. ”

Zhao Sanlao also knew that what Deng Dang said was reasonable, and secretly blamed himself for becoming more and more timid, but he was not as clear as the people of his predecessors.

So, Zhao Sanlao didn't hesitate anymore, and hurriedly stood up and said to Chen Shuzuo:

"Chen Shuzuo, we just thought about it. We have responded to this errand, and these laborers in our township will be transferred, and we will not know anything else. What do you think? ”

At this time, Chen Shuzuo turned around and said with a smile on his face:

"That's right, this wealth is given to you, and you will take it. Otherwise, this blessing will turn into a disaster, you say. ”

In a word, Chen Shuzuo is not majestic.

……

Chen Shuzuo is gone.

Later, before Xinxiang arranged for Dingkou to serve in the county, Xinxiang would send the prepared ten stone rice to Chen Shuzuo's home.

On the road, Zhang Bo and Ma Zhong were full of oil, driving an ox cart on the dirt road.

Uncle Zhang hurried to the road, touched Ma Zhong on the side with his leg, and gave him a look.

Ma Zhong understood, glanced at Chen Shuzuo, who was closing his eyes behind him, and then shook his head.

But Zhang Bo and Ma Zhong's small actions did not escape Chen Shuzuo's eyes, and he sneered:

"You're still playing with me for this little bit of thought. You and I are our own family, and we can say whatever we have. ”

Uncle Zhang still drove the car, and Ma Zhong on the side spoke.

As soon as he spoke, he complained:

"Shuzuo, my little wife gave birth to a girl for us again, and we want to stay. But the rice in this house is really not enough to eat. ”

Chen Shuzuo sneered:

"Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong, I really don't know what to say about you. You are also ruthless when you go to the countryside on weekdays, but I didn't expect there to be such a compassionate time. If you don't want to abandon this girl, it's okay, the ten stones sent by Xinxiang will be divided between you and Uncle Zhang at that time. ”

Uncle Zhang listened and hurriedly responded with a word of gratitude.

But Chen Shuzuo didn't stop, but continued to count Ma Zhong:

"Ma Zhong, your little wife is the first few girls. This can't be done, without a man, what's the use of you working hard outside? In the end, isn't it still cheaper for outsiders? If not, take another widow from the village who has given birth to a man, and give birth to a male first. ”

And Ma Zhong could only laugh awkwardly while nodding and being taught.

Just now Chen Shuzuo said the sentence "There is no man, no matter how hard you work, you will be a cheap outsider", which is quite poking Ma Zhongzhi's lungs.

But who asked him to rely on Chen Shuzuo?

Ma Zhong didn't want to be humiliated any longer, so he took the opportunity to divert the topic and asked:

"Shuzuo, what does that big man want to do in Xinxiang. Let's go see it this time, although it is richer, but it is not worth bothering so much about being a big man. ”

Chen Shuzuo was speaking happily just now, and when he heard this, he had the intention to show off:

"I'll talk about this matter, that is, our own family. In fact, the big man fell in love with the land of Xinxiang. This was originally a good pond, and the big man was about to take it down. Later, the yellow scarf came, and the people here all ran to vote for the thief, and the nobles were directly occupied, but they didn't expect a sudden batch of people to come back, or Wang Tingshi arranged it. The big man threw a rat bogey, so he delayed this matter. ”

Ma Zhong wondered:

"So how did it start again?"

Chen Shuzuo squinted at Ma Zhong and stopped talking.

Ma Zhong was looked at by this, his neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to ask again.

In this way, in silence, the ox cart rushed back to the county seat of Fupi before dark.

Chen Shuzuo asked Zhang Bo and Ma Zhong to drive the ox cart to the official house area of Dongcheng, and then asked the two to go back to the county office to hand over the ox cart.

After seeing the two of them leave, Chen Shuzuo walked around and around to a palatial mansion. This place is more magnificent than the county temple in the city, but the specifications are a little weaker.

And here, it is the biggest real power figure in Fupi County, Wang Gongcao's family.

Chen Shuzuo patted the door, and after a long time, a small door opened from the side of the gate.

An old man knew Chen Shuzuo, and he didn't have a good air:

"Lao Chen, let's get acquainted with each other. But I still have to hand in the door post in the future! It's the rule. ”

Chen Shuzuo, who was light and breezy in Xinxiang during the day, nodded in front of an old man at this time.

He handed the food box in his hand to Lao Suo, and said with a smile:

"I just went to Xinxiang this day, and I got some food from the countryside for my brother. Although it is not as good as the delicacies of the Gong Cao family, it also has a taste. ”

The old man took the food box, opened the lid in front of Chen Shuzuo, and saw that it was a complete steamed chicken, so he smiled with satisfaction:

"Lao Chen, look, you know the rules. I'll leave a door for you, Lang Jun is already waiting for you in the quiet house. ”

After speaking, Lao Su asked a servant to take Chen Shuzuo in.

On the way, Chen Shuzuo also felt depressed. Obviously, Wang Gongcao took the initiative to leave the door for us, and in the hands of you, the old man, you have to pay filial piety first, it is really a silverfish.

But he didn't know that he himself was a rat, but he laughed at others as silverfish, which was also funny.

……

Chen Shuzuo also entered Wang Gongcao's house for the first time.

This mansion covers an extremely wide area, and all kinds of mountain and stone pavilions can be seen, which is worthy of being the legacy of the princely house of the year.

But Chen Shuzuo didn't dare to look at it more, so he followed the disciple to a quiet room.

Just at the door, Chen Shuzuo didn't dare to enter.

Because he smelled how fragrant the quiet room was through the door, he was worried that once his stinky feet were exposed, he would annoy Wang Gongcao.

Pushing the door, a clear voice came:

"Why didn't Chen Jun come in?"

Chen Shuzuo knew that it was Wang Gongcao's voice, and he said in embarrassment:

"Gong Cao, the subordinate has just returned from Xinxiang, unclean, unclean."

There was a pop of laughter from a girl.

At this moment, Chen Shuzuo was even more embarrassed and embarrassed.

But there was silence inside the push door, and just when Chen Shuzuo thought that his meeting was going to blow up this time, the push door suddenly opened.

It was not Wang Gongcao who came out, but a plump maid.

Judging from her clothes, it is clear that she is very favored by the owner's family.

The maid knelt on the floor and laughed vigorously:

"Jun Chen, Jun Lang ordered me to serve you to bathe and change your clothes."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Chen Shuzuo suddenly fell asleep.

Then he saw the maid bend down and take off his boots and socks, and then put his feet in the soft lump and put him in clogs.

Feeling this softness, Chen Shuzuo had only one thought at that time:

"That's how people live."

……

After bathing and changing into new clothes, Chen Shuzuo walked out refreshed.

At this time, half an hour has passed.

Chen Shuzuo was treated with such courtesy, and his heart was full of thoughts of the death of a confidant. When he came out and looked at the sky, he knew that he had taken too long.

But when Chen Shuzuo returned to the quiet room, he saw that Wang Gongcao was still there.

Now Chen Shuzuo was even more moved, and he sighed in his heart:

"Truly for my lord."

This time, Chen Shuzuo entered the ashram generously. Stepping barefoot on the clean wooden board, the floor of tung oil is dry, and there is a hint of chill when stepping on it.

At this time, Chen Shuzuo was also wide-sleeved, and he was also a child of a family. If those colleagues were also there at this time, seeing his appearance, who would still regard him as an unruly official?

Facing Wang Gongcao, who was sitting upright, Chen Shuzuo bowed down in his clothes.

Wang Gongcao didn't have to wait for Chen Shuzuo for a long time, and said to him:

"It's hard for Chen Shuzuo to go this trip for me."

This sentence is like a spring breeze, Chen Shuzuo did not dare to be self-conscious, and said humbly:

"It's all what a junior should do."

After that, Chen Shuzuo talked about what happened when he went to Xinxiang today.

Wang Gongcao has been listening, and when Chen Shuzuo finishes speaking, he said with a smile:

"It seems that Chen Shuzuo is really dedicated, I am really relieved that you are doing things."

The smile on the corner of Chen Shuzuo's mouth couldn't be controlled, but he still said his worries:

"Gong Cao, when I went to Xinxiang this time, I really saw the recklessness of these recovering households. This group of people has not been for a long time for the people, and the military spirit on their bodies has not yet recovered, so I am afraid it will be difficult to get it. ”

How do you know that after Wang Gongcao heard this, he laughed, but he didn't tell Chen Shuzuo anything, but only explained that he had done the right thing on Cangcao's side, and that there had already been taken care of by him.

Chen Shuzuo saw that Wang Gongcao had no intention of continuing to speak, and he didn't dare to ask, so he withdrew when he saw that there was nothing else.

Not long after Chen Shuzuo left, a servant walked up to Wang Gongcao and reported:

"Chen Shuzuo has already gone back, and he hasn't been to other places on the way."

Wang Gongcao nodded, and commanded:

"You'll have the planks you just stepped on change. If it can't be replaced, this clean room will be completely pushed. Also, that was also given to you just now. Well done! ”

The servant was overjoyed and was busy kowtowing to Gong Cao.

It's so white, it's beautiful!

……

On the way, Chen Shuzuo has been thinking about this time.

It's not that he is suspicious of Wang Gongcao, but he wants to take a look at the things before and after to see if there are any omissions.

This matter is actually not complicated, but it is indeed a bureau set up for Xinxiang.

The cause of the incident was Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, who suddenly wanted to count the reserves of the warehouses in Yuzhou, especially the grain, and spent a lot of energy to make a book.

What is the situation in other counties, Chen Shuzuo does not know. However, their county Taishou is Wang Yuzhou's confidant, and he has implemented this policy very thoroughly, and has begun to strictly investigate the situation of Pingyu and various warehouses.

And how can this warehouse be checked? Check this from the county to the county, which one is not unlucky?

Yuzhou was the largest state that supplied the Kwantung court, and it depended on it for both the salaries of the court princes and the war in the Kansai region.

So if it is discovered this time, it is not just unlucky.

Chen Shuzuo is a collector, not how much has been corrupted here. But from letting Wang Gongcao find himself this time, it can be seen that this time the matter is not small.

Wang Gongcao told him at the time that when the time came, he would let the poor soldiers in Xinxiang take a batch of grain out of the warehouse, and when the time came to give the Pingyu side, he would bite to death because these packers had lost the grain and straw, and they would rely on these people for all the deficits.

At that time, in order to repay these military rations, the entire land of Xinxiang will be washed off. However, the land cannot be turned into food, so it will be sold by the county later.

As soon as the land is sold, Wang Gongcao will be able to obtain these high-quality paddy fields that have been cultivated for two years at a very low price.

And Wang Gongcao may have promised him, and he will not treat himself badly when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuzuo's heart was hot.

But suddenly, he thought of the beautiful maid just now, and a thought came to mind for no reason:

"When the time comes, it shouldn't be difficult to let Gong Cao give this woman to himself."

Clear is clear, turbidity is turbidity, and it is useless to wash the mud cleanly.
