Chapter 324: Double Entrustment (2)
Shi Hui, like Shi Chong, is good at seeking wealth. But Shi Chong is unruly, loves and hates clearly, if he doesn't like it, even if he is a relative of the emperor, he still doesn't give face, and it is precisely because of this that he buried the hidden danger of being framed in the future; However, Shi Hui did not have the principle of likes and dislikes, and in the DPRK and China, if it was not related to his own vital interests, he never established political enemies, which is why he has always stood firm in the repeated and changeable political struggles. has such a personality, whether it is facing the powerful people in the DPRK and China or the cloth cloth poor, the only criterion is to get benefits for yourself.
As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. Since the hard ones can't work, the soft ones will come. What's it with a smile? Thinking of this, Shi Hui quickly changed his attitude: "I am indeed not your direct superior, and I have no authority to order you in my position. But don't forget, I am the double Zhongzheng of Yuzhou and Ruyin County, and it can be said that your career is completely in my hands. If you are willing to help me find out about this matter, I will ensure that your genuine product will be raised by one grade, no, directly by two grades. ”
When it comes to Zhongzheng Pindi, Shu Yan remembered the exclusion and contempt he received when he was in Luoyang, and couldn't help but hate it in his heart, raised his head and laughed a few times: "I, Shu Yan, was also young and ambitious, and I did want to make a career in the court. But the reality has given me merciless blows again and again, especially under your righteous 'favoritism', I have become disheartened and no longer have any illusions about my career. Now that I've reached this point, do you think I still care about any bullshit that is genuine?! ”
Shi Hui was stunned by Shu Yan's roar, his face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't say a word. Seeing that Shu Yan was about to snatch the door, he had no choice.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind the screen urgently calling: "Shu Yan and stay." ”
Shu Yan heard that it was the voice of the eldest princess of Yong'an, and the foot that stepped out had to retreat, and he bowed to the screen: "Shu Yan is reckless, I don't know that the eldest princess is here, I hope to forgive my sins." ”
"Not guilty, not guilty. Shu Yan doesn't have to be formal. The voice of the eldest princess came from within the screen.
Shi Hui was very happy when he saw Shu Yan turn around and come back, and at this time, he didn't care about paying attention to the national etiquette, and shouted into the screen: "It's inconvenient to communicate like this." Can you ask the eldest princess to come out and talk to Shu Yan in person? ”
The eldest princess of Yong'an also has this intention. I was already familiar with Shu Yan, and at this time, the situation was special, so I didn't have to be formal, so I walked out from behind the screen.
Shu Yan wants to visit again. The eldest princess of Yong'an hurriedly stopped it. She knew that Shu Yan refused to sit, so she simply stood up and said, "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha." You promised me, you can't count it, right? ”
Although Shi Hui and the eldest princess of Yong'an are two completely different people, they are a family after all, with common interests and common problems. Shu Yan can refuse to give favors, but how can he refuse the eldest princess of Yong'an?
"Uh...... I Shu Yan promised others that I would do my best, let alone the eldest princess? ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Hui was like taking a reassuring pill. However, he knew that Shu Yan didn't like him, and it might backfire if he interjected indiscriminately, so he obediently lay there and listened quietly.
"Since you are willing to help me, I can trust you. I shouldn't have rushed you, but my Ah Weng is in a hurry to go back to Luoyang, so I can't rest assured about this, can you ......?"
"I understand what the eldest princess means. I have been entrusted by the eldest princess of Yong'an for a long time, and the reason why I have not intervened for a long time is because this is a private matter of the Zun Mansion, not as good as the affairs of the officials in the county. I'm an outsider, so it's inconvenient. ”
Shi Hui hurriedly nodded and interjected: "Although you are the county magistrate, I did not sue the official about this matter, and you are indeed embarrassed to ask." Even if you think about it, Shi Chang and those subordinates in my family may not be able to see you. I've got a portable wat board here, so take it for now. As he spoke, he took off a wat board from his belt, and felt that it was not enough, so he wrote down a few more lines, and then handed it to Shu Yan and said, "You can use this wat board as evidence that you have the right to intervene in any affairs in my house." No one is allowed to obstruct it. If the traitor has reached a very excessive level, this wat board will be used as my evidence of suing the official, and then you will go to justice as a county officer. This should be okay, right? ”
Shu Yan took the wat board, it turned out to be made of ivory, and then looked at the words written, and felt that it was safe, so he put it in his arms and put it in his arms. In fact, he has secretly paid attention to some of the situation, and the reason why he has not taken measures is that he has not been able to get the cooperation of the Shi family, and second, he is afraid that he will interfere too deeply, and he will not even be satisfied with Shi Hui. At this moment, since Shi Hui has said support, it will be easy to do.
"What more could you ask for?" Shi Hui asked again.
"And." Shu Yan paused, "If Shi Hou really sincerely wants me to meddle in the affairs of the Shi Mansion, then please show me all your land ownership deeds." ”
As soon as "this ......" heard this request, Shi Hui immediately hesitated - taking out all the land deeds is not equivalent to telling others all his family wealth?
This is a private matter, Shi Hui showed this attitude Shu Yan did not feel strange, he showed a reluctant expression: "I understand Shi Hou's thoughts. However, in order to solve this matter, it is necessary to understand the situation of the field. If you don't want to, there's no way I'll help you get to the bottom of it. ”
The eldest princess of Yong'an saw Shi Hui's hesitation, and said hurriedly: "Which is more important here, is Ah Weng still hesitating?" ”
"Uh-" Shi Hui was ruthless, and ordered one of his henchmen, "go and get all my land deeds." Just say I want to take a look, don't say someone else is there. ”
After a while, the confidant came back with two sandalwood boxes and placed them in front of Shi Hui. Shi Hui pointed out to Shu Yan. Shu Yan opened one of them and saw that there were more than a dozen land deeds and several shop land deeds. Although there are not many land deeds, the amount on each one is amazingly large, and all of them are large pieces of land of hundreds of acres. Shu Yan silently wrote it down, and opened another box, which was also filled with land deeds, but there were dozens, but the number of acres in each one was not much, as little as a dozen acres, and as many as dozens of acres. Shu Yan was a little puzzled, he didn't know what was going on, but after a closer look, he understood that these were the title deeds of ordinary people who were attached to the fields like Wang Yidan. In addition to these land deeds, there are also written agreements with tenants on specific matters such as income sharing.
Shu Yan remembered them one by one, frowned and said, "Not only does the Zun Mansion have serious internal problems, but it also involves violating the laws of the imperial court." ”
Of course, Shi Hui knew what was going on, and said nervously: "You don't need to ask about this matter." ”
Shu Yan smiled at first, and then said with a straight face: "Excessive occupation of land, excessive use of fields and tenants, and illegal acceptance of the people who originally paid normally are all violations of the laws of the imperial court. Although Shi Hou's status is a hundred times more prominent than mine, since Shi Mansion is under the rule of Ruyin, I, as a county prince, have the right to manage it. However, I don't want to ask for the time being, because this is a common phenomenon, if I attack your Shi family, it is obviously not appropriate, and when there is an opportunity, it will be generally rectified. ”
Shi Hui listened to Shu Yan's words and secretly complained to himself. The reason why he didn't want to show Shu Yan the title deed was because of this reason. At this moment, he even wondered whether he should ask Shu Yan to intervene in this matter. I hate Biyu's failure even more: if De'er can devote one-third of her mind to this, how can there be so much trouble?
The eldest princess of Yong'an didn't know what Shu Yan said, so she asked, "What do you mean, where did I violate the laws of the imperial court in my mansion?" ”
Shu Yan replied respectfully: "With the grade of Shi Hou, it should be a three-grade treatment, the maximum number of fields allowed by the imperial court is four thousand mu, and the land of the Zun Mansion has reached five thousand and one mu; The maximum number of tenants owned by Sanpin is ten, while the number of households in the Zunfu has reached twenty. This is beyond the regulations of the imperial court. In addition, it also accepted the dependence of the original normal household adjustment family, which reduced the household registration of good people, and damaged the tax payment of the imperial court. ”
Shi Hui argued: "4,000 mu is just my own standard for occupying land, my son is in the fifth grade, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, he can also occupy 3,000 mu, which adds up to 7,000 mu." My family only has 5,100 acres of land, and although I have received some dependence, it is only temporary, not a fixed inheritance. In this way, there is still 1,900 acres less! ”
Shu Yan smiled and said: "Even if it can be calculated according to Shi Hou's statement, the land occupation standards of your father and son can be superimposed, then please don't forget, in addition to Ruyin, the Shi family also occupies a large area of fertile land in Luoyang, is it also superimposed?" And as far as I know, the Shi family's land in Luoyang has already exceeded 4,000 mu, and the 5,100 mu in Ruyin add up to at least 9,000 mu, which is still 2,000 mu more! ”
Shi Hui was speechless.
After hearing this, the eldest princess of Yong'an thought for a moment, and resolutely said: "Everyone is equal before the law. You gave me a side of Shifu Net, this is a private relationship, and I should be grateful. But this should not be done from your standpoint as an official. In the future, if you really want to rectify this aspect, I should set an example and not seek special care. ”
Shu Yan was very happy when he saw the eldest princess of Yong'an say this: "The eldest princess is so deeply aware of righteousness and has a high wind and bright festival, Shu Yan is extremely admired. I pretty much know the situation. After this autumn's harvest, there will be an explanation. ”
"That's good. If you really purge evil for me, I will thank you heavily. ”
Shu Yan said goodbye and left.
"All the family funds are handed over to him, who knows if he can do it!" Shi Hui sighed uneasily.
The eldest princess of Yong'an comforted: "Doesn't Shu Yan's ability Ah Weng still know? He has always been steady and reliable. Ah Weng will go back to Luoyang with confidence. ”
Even if Shu Yan is entrusted, it is a matter of family affairs, how can Shi Hui rest assured? However, there really can't be any more delay here. There was no way, so I went back to Luoyang early the next morning.
