"Is this a complaint from the people?"

Guo An muttered in a low voice.

Nie Zishi squinted and sneered, "What do you think? ”

Guo An's face suddenly realized, "No wonder I just came from the county government and didn't see many butcher shops?" And those people on the street, it seems that they are all listless? ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly saluted Nie Zi gratefully.

"Thank you Uncle Nie for mentioning it, otherwise I would really be in trouble!"

Nie Zishi snorted coldly angrily: "Hmph, you have already broken through the catastrophe, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty are magnanimous and did not bother with you because of this matter, otherwise just with those impeachments, even you would have been arrested and questioned for your own crimes!" ”

"Please rest assured Uncle Nie, the kid will correct it!"

Guo An said sincerely.

"How to correct it?

"Go find meat for these people!"

Nie Zishi's eyes widened suddenly, "Can you find cheap meat for the people, where can you find meat?" ”

Guo An pondered for a moment, but still replied slowly: "The kid is stupid, he only thinks about going up the mountain to hunt and go to the sea to fish. ”

"Fishing?"

Nie Zishi's eyes widened again, and he whispered: "You kid wants to make trouble again, how long has it been since Hu Weiyong's incident?"

Moreover, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent and control the invasion of Japanese invaders, His Majesty has dismissed many coastal cities and issued orders many times to strictly prohibit the common people from entering the sea to fish, and strictly prohibiting merchants from entering the sea and trading with foreign domains. ”

"Don't be delusional about this matter, otherwise no matter how benevolent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, no matter how much King Yan favors you, he won't be able to save you!"

"Uncle Nie, what if this matter is done by His Royal Highness King Yan?"

As soon as the words fell, Guo An saw that Nie Zishi's face had changed again, and he wanted to beat him hard.

"You kid is getting bolder and bolder, don't seek death, who is King Yan? He is the fourth son of His Majesty, the vassal king sent by His Majesty to guard Beiping, and the king of Damingsai.

The old man asked you, if there are traitors in front of His Royal Highness King Yan every day, and His Royal Highness King Yan is urged to do this and that, and it is against His Majesty's will, how do you think His Majesty will deal with that traitor? ”

Guo An whispered: "Uncle Nie, the kid is not a traitor. ”

Nie Zishi glared at Guo An, and said bitterly: "The old man also knows that there are good and bad things about the ban on the sea, but do you think that those officials in Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as local businessmen and people, did not write to ask His Majesty to revoke the sea ban, or relax the sea ban, so that the people of Zhejiang and Fujian can go out to sea to fish?"

However, His Majesty's ban on the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian is becoming stricter and stricter year by year. ”

"Okay, you bastard just need to govern Wanping County with peace of mind, don't meddle in these things. Moreover, you kid also need to know that being an official needs to seek stability.

The more you do, the more you make mistakes, and the more likely you are to implicate the whole family.

From the Hu Weiyong case, to the empty seal case, and then to this year's Guo Huan case, you kid must understand that His Majesty is not a soft-hearted person, don't be confused.

When the time comes, not to mention that your kid will be beheaded, it will affect his family and even the entire Guo Village......"

Guo An: "......"

"Okay, you kid don't have to be so afraid, as long as you don't be greedy or dirty, don't admonish at will, and be the magistrate of Wanping County with peace of mind, you will be fine."

Feeling that his dissuasion had played a role, Nie Zishi smiled lightly, and said again: "You kid go back and think about it, your father sent you to Beiping Mansion, and then entrusted it to the old man, and the old man will never harm you."

But don't do anything stupid, kid. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Nie."

Guo An respectfully bowed to Nie Zi again, and he also understood that Nie Zi was really good for him, of course, this was to see him and Zhu Di walking a little close, scared, and didn't want to be implicated by him.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, it is normal for people to mind, and Guo An does not mind.

When the first prince of the Ming Dynasty was still alive and well, who would have thought that Zhu Laosi, the king of Yan who only wanted to be a general all day long to attack the Northern Yuan Tartars, would be able to sit on the throne in Yingtian City in the future?

Moreover, Guo An is just a small magistrate, and anyone can step on his feet.

Especially in the face of Yan Wang Zhu Di, he has no ability to resist at all.

Of course, it has something to do with Guo An's idleness.

Accustomed to the bright lights of the market, the sound of the fight, and the clean and tidy city and home.

Having experienced the benefits of being advanced, in the face of the backwardness of this era, Guo An has the desire and impulse to change everything.

It's just that Lao Zhu, who is far away in Yingtian City, is like a god of death, pressing Guo An to death......

After leaving the gate of the political envoy, there was nothing urgent, Guo An slowed down, ready to take a closer look at the situation of the people on the street.

In this era, if you want to distinguish whether the people are rich or not, you only need to look at the faces and body shapes of the people.

Most of them are barren, and they can't open the pot when they are about to be poor, and they can't eat a meal of meat all year round.

Most of the people on the streets are in this situation.

As long as you have a round body and a little bit of meat, you can at least have enough to eat at home.

As for Guo Erniu behind Guo An, and Guo Erniang, the cook with a big waist and a round waist, it is because Guo An's family is a family of gentry and landlords, and the family is already well-off, and for these close servants, they are also full of food.

After walking three squares of the street in a row, Guo An's heart sank directly to the bottom.

There was not a single butcher shop in the three squares.

Even, Guo An still has a feeling, as if the people of Wanping County have lost weight as a whole.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky.

Guo An woke up, subconsciously looked up, and found that the sky above the entire Beiping Mansion was black and pressing.

"It's going to rain young master, so I'd better find a place to shelter from the rain first."

Guo Erniu said with a face.

This month is the time when there is a lot of rain in Pei Binh Province.

As for the heavy rain, it will fall as soon as it is said, and before Guo An can reply, the raindrops with the size of beans will fall intensively.

"Let's go, go to the teahouse in front."

"Yes, young master!"

Entering the teahouse, Guo An found a corner and asked Guo Erniu to ask for a pot of hot tea, a plate of dim sum, and ate it slowly.

As the rain outside became heavier, more and more people came in to hide from the rain in the teahouse.

In this regard, whether it is a rich person or a farmer in tattered clothes, the shopkeeper of the teahouse will all receive him with a smile, and everyone who enters the store is a guest.

Those who want tea will serve hot tea.

Those who don't drink tea will also be served a bowl of hot water.

And those tea guests and water guests do not dislike each other, just take advantage of this free time, get together, chat for a while, whether it is bragging, or showing, or complaining, anyway, sitting together, it is fate.
