Xunyang Building, the hall on the first floor, fell into a brief silence.

Facing Ouyang Rong, Pei Shisanniang smiled and said:

"Lord Changshi, why don't we go upstairs and talk again, we specially prepared your favorite dishes today......

Ouyang Rong was unmoved, and continued to question:

"Mrs. Pei, please answer this official, who are these renovated new houses sold to?"

Pei Sanniang stubbornly said: "Naturally, it is the common people." ”

"Will your renovated new home, whether rented or sold, be guaranteed to be lower or equal than the rents of the tinky little landlords you have now?" After a pause, he looked around in public: "If you can agree to this, this official will naturally warmly welcome you, and there is no disapproval." ”

Pei Shisanniang and her companions glanced at each other, their eyes were a little helpless, and they were ambiguous: "Naturally, it will be a little more expensive." ”

"How much more expensive is a little more expensive, one or two times, or one or two times."

Pei Sanniang's gaze averted, avoiding the clear and clear gaze he was looking at: "It won't be too much...... Anyway, there will be people who can afford to live. ”

"Ordinary people who can afford to live...... Also, who is not a common person these days, Mrs. Pei is also a member of the common people, and there is naturally no pressure to buy this kind of house, but ......"

Ouyang Rong nodded, and the conversation changed:

"These cheap old houses in Xingzifang have all been renovated by Mrs. Pei and sold to the same affordable people as Mrs. Pei, let me make a bold guess, now those poor people who are carrying sacks of stone in Xunyangdu and Shuangfeng Jiangrottoes, and returning to the cheap old houses after work to find a moment of calm rest, should not belong to Mrs. Pei's mouth, this 'affordable people' category.

"Mrs. Pei's hard-earned and renovated house is definitely not staring at their money, they are stretched to pay the current rent, and there is no oil and water to squeeze, let the official guess, Mrs. Pei must make a big ...... if she wants to earn."

"Lord Changshi, the slave family is ready to rent or sell to the rich and rich, but now Xingzifang is dirty and messy, and the security is not good, which is a recognized fact.

"The introduction of cultivated scholars and wealthy families from all over the south of the Yangtze River will definitely revive the style of Xingzifang.

"If Xingzifang can become a clean and tidy place like Xunyang Fang and Xiushui Fang, and the residents are polite and high-quality Lifang, it is a good thing for both public and private, and it will be harmless to Xunyang City, and the most important thing is that this is also a brilliant achievement under your rule, isn't it your credit, the slave family really can't understand, why not."

"That's not how this account is calculated, and it can't be counted that way."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and asked again:

"The rich people in Jiangnan were introduced to move in, and then, what about the cheap laborers and poor people in Xingzifang now, in order not to affect the appearance of the city, where should they live?"

Pei thirteen years hesitated: "Naturally...... Naturally, they go to a place where they can afford to live, the world is so big, and they can't only live in Xingzifang. ”

"But Xingzifang is already the cheapest place for rent in Xunyang City, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered here, and now that this place is also remembered by you, where else can they live?"

Her eyes rolled: "It's a big deal to leave Xunyang City, Jiangzhou is not the only place in Xunyang City where you can find a living, go to a place where you can afford to live, it's very simple, besides, it's ......"

Ouyang Rong suddenly smiled: "Heh, leave Xunyang." ”

When Pei Sanniang heard the laughter, her face immediately turned red, and she was a little angry when she was forced to ask:

"Lord Changshi, you are the governor of Jiangzhou, you should think about Xunyang City, introduce scholars to enrich the people, and make Xunyang City prosperous, it is one of your duties, why bother with those poor people who need to be eliminated by the world, they have their own lives, and it is not Lord Changshi who wants to drive them away, but it is not suitable for Xunyang, there is no money, then go back to the countryside, although the house cannot afford to live, but there are hands and feet, and they can't starve to death......"

Ouyang Rong quietly looked at this shrewd and settling lady, and suddenly interrupted loudly:

"Mrs. Pei, it is precisely because this official is the governor of Jiangzhou, the official of the people's parents, and he wants to think about Xunyang City, so he can't agree with this matter.

"Everyone praises Xunyang as good, the mouth of the three rivers, convenient water transportation, the world's eyebrow place, the first prosperous place in the middle of the Yangtze River, a Xunyang ancient ferry, and revitalize the whole city.

"But may I ask, at this moment, the people who continue to carry goods from all over the world in Xunyang to contribute to the prosperity of Xunyang, the people who dig the soil and open the mountains between the twin peaks and sweat, and the people who carry stones in the Xunyang Grottoes to build the Buddha for the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are they the dignitaries and dignitaries who are pampered and treated in Xunyang Fang and Xiushui Fang? Is it the monks and celebrities who sang poems and music all night at the Kuanglu Mountain Poetry Gathering Meeting? Is it the businessmen and high-rollers who push cups and change sharp teeth in Xunyang Building?

"Neither."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, asked and answered himself, and whispered:

"The prosperity of Xunyang City is supported by these cheap poor people in Mrs. Pei's mouth, and now, with a large sum of silver, with a wave of her hand, she wants to buy a cheap house for renovation, let them all move their nests and get out of the way, don't get in the way.

"Mrs. Pei said that these are for the good of Xunyang City, but no matter how the official looks at it, he thinks that Xunyang City has no Xunyang Fang, no water repair workshop, and Xunyang Du is running as usual without the old man, but only Xingzifang can't be without Xingzifang."

The audience was silent, and with Ouyang Rong's words, Pei Sanniang's face gradually turned pale.

Ouyang Rong's face was calm, he looked her in the eye and said:

"Mrs. Pei, in fact, the official can understand your thoughts very well, really, the official really understands your indifference.

"In your eyes, where will these low-cost workers and poor people who were driven out of Xunyang go, what will their lives become, and what will happen to the rest of their lives, they don't need to pay attention.

In fact, as long as these people are not regarded as human beings, but as cattle and horses working for work, this statement is indeed correct.

"Even if there is no them, there are a lot of people outside who are willing to line up to come to Xunyang City, after all, three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged cattle and horses are still dissatisfied.

However, the official has a big problem, he always can't help but treat the cattle and horses as people, and the official always feels that the builders of a city should not be treated like this.

"Pass on the cost of Xunyang's prosperity and development to them, keep the benefits in Xunyang City, and then turn around and drive away all of them who have little surplus value...... Sorry, I can't do that. ”

Pei Sanniang's face was blue and purple for a while, and she was still unwilling to say:

"Lord Changshi is as good as a sage, and the slave family looks up to the mountains, but ...... Is it now to let Xingzifang do this, and let those little landlords do whatever they want? ”

"These Xingzifang are small landlords, and they have never been the real problem."

Ouyang Rong suddenly laughed at himself, and pointed to Xingzifang:

"The little landlords are stingy and stingy, these are indeed true, they are right, but anyone can scold them, but the officials and the officials in the Jiangzhou lobby can't scold.

Because they are stingy and careful to divide the house into compartments, save costs and rent them out cheaply, for those poor people who are begging for a living and migrant workers to live, although the side makes the Xingzifang more and more old and dirty, but it allows many poor people to have a place to settle down, and can share a little bit of the prosperity dividend of Xunyangdu.

In a sense, this is to replace the obligations and functions that the government and the imperial court should have fulfilled, and to meet a certain strong demand.

"Those cheap laborers who built Xunyang in order to dedicate their sweat, the Jiangzhou government did not let them live without worry, strictly speaking, the imperial court ...... This officer is not a competent parent officer. ”

Pei Sanniang licked her dry lips, and she didn't know where to argue, her forehead was covered with fine sweat.

The calm but questioning voice of the young man in the felt hat in front of him sounded again, echoing the audience:

"Mrs. Pei, some of the problems you pointed out are not wrong, Xingzifang is dirty and messy, and the public security is not good, this is indeed an objective fact.

"However, if you attribute the poor and chaotic public order of Xingzifang to the poor people of Xingzifang, blame them for being poor, blame them for being uneducated, and have undignified work, and say that they have made Xingzifang a soil that breeds a chaotic market......

"Oh, now the old house is going to be renovated, and it is even more bluntly said that they are no longer worthy of living in Xunyang, and even think that as long as they who have contributed the most sweat to the prosperity of Xunyang, they are squeezed out of Xunyang with high land prices openly and secretly, it seems that the security of Xingzifang can be re-stabilized and the city will be renewed......

"I'm sorry, but if that's true, then I ask you, is it all their fault that the people are poor? Why do they suffer and the rich get richer? Obviously they do heavier work than anyone else, obviously they get up earlier than anyone else, obviously they are hardworking and lovely than anyone else, why are they still so poor? Can Mrs. Pei tell the official why? ”

Where did Pei Shisanniang catch this kind of topic, and explained in a panic: "Lord Changshi, the slave family didn't blame them......

"You don't blame them?" Ouyang Rong interrupted suddenly, and bowed his head slightly: "Oh, so Mrs. Pei is really weird...... Is it a court that has not made the people rich? It seems to make some sense. ”

Pei Shisanniang was stunned, her face flushed, and she couldn't argue: "No, the slave family definitely doesn't mean that, the slave family is ...... The slave family is saying ......"

When everyone in the hall heard this, some people were thoughtful.

Xie Lingjiang turned his head to look at the calm expression of the senior brother when he narrated, and suddenly felt that under this face, the senior brother's mood was actually ...... Angry and sad at the same time.

Ouyang Rong didn't wait for the lady to stammer, and nodded lightly:

"The official didn't mean to target Mrs. Pei, nor did he target anyone, the tone just now may be a little heavy, so let's do it, the official will punish a glass of wine first."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, but before he could pick up the nearby wine glass, Xie Lingjiang had already taken the lead in handing over a glass of wine that she had checked.

Ouyang Rong glanced at her, took the cup, raised his head and drank it directly, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and spoke again.

Even to Pei Sanniang, who was also sincerely afraid to return the toast, and also to everyone present today:

"Having said so much, I actually want to say that if Mrs. Pei's renovated mansion is sold and rented, it can be the same as the old mansion of the current small landlord, or even relatively cheap, with the support of a hundred officials, and even the Jiangzhou lobby can be helped, as long as you come up with a feasible plan.

"However, if it doesn't work, it will be built into a garden mansion, sold to those rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, recruited them to Xunyang, and turned Xingzifang into a Xunyang Fang and a water repair workshop......

"I'm sorry, Xunyang City doesn't need to be icing on the cake, this matter, Mrs. Pei doesn't need to mention it from now on, so do all the distinguished guests present today, don't mention similar opinions again, as long as this official is still the governor of Jiangzhou for a day, such things will never be released.

"This is the attitude of the official, I hope you know."

The voice of the handsome young man in the felt hat echoed in the hall of silence.

Many of them looked distracted or brooding, chewing on his novel but powerful angular remarks.

The crowd turned to each other, and the sound in the hall gradually became noisy.

"Lord Changshi, it's the slave family who didn't think about it, Lord Changshi still hopes to forgive the sin after a few words, and the slave family punishes himself with three cups......"

Pei Sanniang lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and her mouth was nuonuo.

Ouyang Rong shook his head, unwilling to pay attention to it anymore, and his eyes swept over Pei Shisanniang and the group of Yangshang behind her.

He keenly saw that although Pei Sanniang's attitude was soft at the moment, there were a few men among the Yang merchants who sold salt ashore, who did not toast, and their faces were not worried, and they seemed to be a little unconvinced.

Ouyang Rong waited for his gaze to fall on their faces slightly, Pei Sanniang reacted, and also turned her head to stare at her, and then slowly lowered her head.

Weak-crowned Changshi threw down his sleeves and turned his back to leave.

Under the respectful or complicated gaze in the hall of the building, he and Xie Lingjiang strode out of Xunyang Building.

Back in the carriage, Ouyang Rong leaned back against the soft collapse, closed his eyes and recuperated, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Lingjiang commanded the groom a few times, put down the car curtain, looked back at the senior brother twice, and suddenly opened his mouth to bring up the topic:

"Senior brother, that little girl in the red jacket didn't fail you."

Ouyang Rong didn't open his eyes and sighed softly.

"What is the big brother sighing for?" She graciously took his arm.

"Today is in the way of a lot of money."

Xie Lingjiang's eyelashes drooped, grabbed his palm, interlocked his fingers, and the corners of her pink lips gently pulled an arc:

"It's okay for these businessmen to bully honest people and small landlords, but they can't make waves in front of the senior brother.

"We are not even afraid of Wang Lengran, what else can they do? As long as Uncle Li and Uncle Qin are there, in this Jiangnan realm, these unscrupulous businessmen can still turn the sky upside down, and say something like a villain, they have to coil the dragon, and they have to lie down if they are tigers. ”

Ouyang Rong wanted to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly covered his ears, looked around, and then lowered his head.

"What's the matter, what's wrong with Senior Brother?" Xie Lingjiang asked worriedly.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

Ouyang Rong shook his head, put down the hand covering his ears, and restrained the subtle expression on his face.

He whispered in his ear...... There was a familiar sound of the bell and the sound of Da Lu.

From the Pagoda of Merit, which has been silent for a long time.

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.

It is a new blessing.

Today's birthday, I have a few authors, Honey Ji, Mitian Building, Gugu, Tian Bao...... are all big guys, only Xiao Rong is the most popular, only in terms of being young and handsome, slightly better.

At night, they were all coding words in the e-sports hotel, and the keyboard crackled, and they quietly glanced at it, except for the waste, everyone else's hand speed was faster than Xiao Rong, which was hateful.

After twelve o'clock tonight, it's not 18, a little shhh
