"Please." Jiang Yang was polite, and then walked inside with the little guy.

The Chen family's house is magnanimous, with three doors, and through the hall to a small garden in the backyard.

There is a pavilion on the top of the landscape promenade, in which the old man Chen is dressed in clean white clothes and his hair is neatly sitting there.

The moment he saw Jiang Yang, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "The county order came to the Humble House, which really made the Humble House shine." ”

"Master Chen is polite." Jiang Yang was not pretentious, walked up in two steps, and sat down opposite Master Chen.

"How about a game between adults?" Master Chen likes to play Go very much, so he handed over a chess basket and said with a smile.

However, Jiang Yang rolled his eyes, well, he had learned a lot in the previous year, but he didn't know anything about Go.

"It's not a secret, I don't know anything about chess." Jiang Yang waved his hand and said, "Now that Master Chen has invited me to come, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

They are all people who understand, so why pretend to be an old fox and hold it up?

Jiang Yang simply asked directly.

Master Chen lost his mind for a moment, and after a while, he laughed dryly and said: "The county commander is worthy of a generation of geniuses, and his behavior and deeds are really eclectic." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

"I don't know what the adults want to do with the Chen family?" Old Man Chen was the first to ask.

This made Jiang Yang ponder, but he didn't expect the old fox to come up and have a showdown, which made it a little difficult for him.

However, judging from the evidence collected, the Chen family has always been very low-key, and has never done anything unreasonable in Xiami County.

A lot of the land in their hands is over, for example, the Liu family has no money, what should they do, sell the land.

Who can afford such a large piece of land, and it will be cheaper for the Chen family.

And the other families are all prosperous, except for the eldest brother of the Liu family, who is still a single dog, the second brother of the Liu family has a second child.

And what about the Zhu family? Zhu Gongzi has reached the age of being urged to marry.

Don't believe it, it's normal for men to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen at this time.

Being single in your twenties will be said to be unfilial.

Thirty-something or single? Sorry, but the dogs on the side of the road will shake their heads when they see you.

But what about this Chen family? Jiang Yang only heard of Old Man Chen alone, as for his son? Grandson? Wife? No!

Is it low-key? Or did his descendants go elsewhere?

Jiang Yang pondered for a moment and said: "The Chen family has never oppressed the people in Xiami County over the years, and has never evaded taxes. ”

"I didn't do anything hurtful, naturally I was like before and after."

"Master Chen, don't think of this official as a beast in troubled waters, how many things have the Wang family and the Zhu family done that hurt the heavens and reason, and the beheading to show the confiscation of the family's property is an explanation to the people."

"Well said." Master Chen laughed and said, "But I heard that the Liu family handed over all the land to the county government, what is going on?" ”

Well? This old guy knows quite a lot, Jiang Yang smiled and said: "The Liu family has naturally found a better way to make a fortune, and it is not surprising that what has been taken from the people over the years has been returned to the people again." ”

"Oh? Is it? "Master Chen took care of himself and dropped a white piece on the Go board.

It's very eye-catching in the chess game.

"I don't know what the Chen family can get if they hand over the fields?" Master Chen asked tentatively.

What does he want to do? Jiang Yang was a little unsure of what this old fox meant.

You must know that in ancient times, land was still crucial, and the reason why the Tang Dynasty was in chaos was not because a large amount of land was not in the hands of the people, which led to many serious social problems?

Will this old guy willingly hand over the land?

Showdown? Isn't it too impatient? Even if it's a showdown, will this old fox really hand over the land?

Moreover, the Liu family has already spoken and is in charge of some of the upstream processes of the liquor factory and the white sugar factory, and there is no cake for this old fox to share, will he be happy?

"I will award you a pennant of good county citizens, so that the people will remember your feat." Jiang Yang laughed.

It's just that I didn't expect this old man Chen to think about it a little and nodded and said: "It's okay, half a life of glory and wealth, and the opportunity to leave a name in history is not a loss." ”

Nodding his head, the subordinate who had been outside the pavilion came over with a wooden box.

"Lord County Order, what is contained here are the title deeds and shops of the Chen family, and the adults only need to take them back and change them, and they will be the county government's." Master Chen said very calmly.

He even half-jokingly said, "Don't forget that pennant, my lord." ”

Jiang Yang's mouth has grown bigger, what is the situation? Fortune from above?

And this kind of good thing?

It's not like you're in the water in your head, are you? You turn in a pennant? You're really... What a nice guy.

Jiang Yang couldn't speak, so he could only nod and say, "It's easy to say." ”

It's cheap and doesn't stick to the bastard, you dare to give it to me, don't you dare to accept it?

In the next sentence, just look at this old man Chen and say: "My lord, for the benefit of the official, but the rarest thing in this world is human nature." ”

Speaking of this, Master Chen took out the sunspot with his backhand and tapped it at another position in the chess game.

The twins are black and white, but they are symmetrical and there is no such incongruity.

Jiang Yang looked down, although he couldn't understand Go, he understood the sophistication of human feelings.

This is Old Man Chen reminding him that if Xiami County wants to develop, it will not be able to get rid of the family, there must be some people who get rich first, so will those wealthy families become the next family that endangers Xiami County?

If so, how do you deal with them when they are dominant? Is a clean chessboard really good?

He was reminding himself that he had to support two, or even three, so that the local balance of forces below would not get out of control.

Human nature, Jiang Yang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Old Man Chen is right, but I was negligent." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I just sighed casually, how can I mention it." Old Man Chen laughed.

It's all smart people, and it's no fun to ask me again, hand over the field, and give me any benefits.

"I heard that the county ordered the adults to set up a school and promote the so-called education cause, but compared to others, it is a bit thunderous and rainy, but what is the difficulty?"

"It's true." Jiang Yang responded politely and answered them one by one.

Regarding Jiang Yang's statement that the development of talents for all people is not limited to the sharp questions of the Four Books and Five Classics, Old Man Chen just nodded and did not express his opinion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of doctrine is an outlier in this society so far.

"Adults are really interesting, this idea is very novel, but I also understand, adults need some weighty Confucians to come here to teach them to read and write, understand the reason, and improve the reputation of the school by the way."
