Chapter 19: The Wealth of the Rich Gentry

Wang Lin had a headache, he couldn't hold back those rich gentry, as an official of the imperial court, he knew too well the consequences of killing Qincha.

Once Li Qing has an accident, whether he did it or not, he will not be able to do well, and he will be dismissed from office at the least, or his head will fall to the ground.

"Damn, a bunch of bastards who don't know the height of the sky......!" Wang Lin said angrily, "You want to die, but Mo La's old man." ”

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he was not at ease after all, and changed into an official uniform and prepared to rush to the Qincha Academy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the palace, he met Jinyiwei.

As soon as Wang Lin saw Jinyiwei, his legs and stomach trembled, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the institution of Jinyiwei is really unfriendly to officials, especially to civil officials.

The civil official to the Jinyi Wei is simply to the point of talking about the tiger's color.

Hongwu Dynasty, tens of thousands of people died in this institution, how he was not afraid, coupled with a weak heart, Wang Lin almost blurted out to beg for mercy.

"It's... Is there something wrong with this adult? ”

The dignified prefect, but he is called an ordinary Jinyiwei, which shows his fear of Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei arched his hand: "Lord Qincha ordered, please ask the prefect of the king to fully cooperate with the formation of the weaving bureau, if the construction is not done well within three months, or there is a mistake, I will ask the king to kill you!" ”

Wang Linden's face turned white, and at the same time, a wave of anger welled up in his heart.

This Chin Cha ...... It's too tasteless, right?

In the officialdom, especially from the top to the bottom, it is not uncommon to dump the pot, but it is really rare for Li Qing to throw the pot so openly.

Wang Lin was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he was angry, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and his mouth was right again and again.

After Jinyiwei conveyed the order, he left without looking back, leaving Wang Lin full of resentment.

Now, the pressure is all on his side.

If something happens to the Chin Mission, he has to die; If the weaving bureau can't do it well, he will still have to die; Wang Lin is in a dilemma.

On behalf of the emperor's ministers, he would never dare to offend, but those rich gentry are not fuel-efficient lamps, and more importantly, his royal family is Su. The richest gentry in the state.

The court officials on one side, the partners and family relatives on the other, Wang Lin really doesn't know what to do now.

The official gentry's family, over the years, he has worked for the welfare of the rich gentry, and he has also benefited from the rich gentry, of course, his family has benefited more.

Therefore, his handle is also in the hands of the rich gentry, and if he really wants to force these people, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

These rich gentry are not good men and women, and they dare to even move, not to mention that he is a prefect.

Wang Lin's head is about to blow up.

After thinking about it, he still decided to stabilize the rich gentry first.

……

Li Qing has been staying in the Qincha Academy, playing chess, listening to music, and wandering leisurely all day long.

More than ten days have passed, and there is still no movement at all, and he can't help but feel a little bored.

Why hasn't the rich gentleman come yet?

He's waiting to raid his house!

After another two days, the killer did not wait, but waited for the prefect Wang's mansion to come.

"The lower officials see Lord Qincha." Wang Lin saluted respectfully.

"Governor Wang's mansion doesn't look very good!" Li Qing chuckled, "No need to be polite, sit down!" ”

"Master Xie." Wang Lin has really suffered a lot in the past few days, with dark circles under his eyes, and a haggard appearance, "My lord, the lower official...... There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Then I won't talk about it." Li Qing said categorically, "The top priority is to build a weaving bureau, and the prefect Wang still needs to keep an eye on the weaving bureau, if something goes wrong...... Hum. ”

Wang Lin was full of grief and indignation, but he didn't dare to stiffen his head, and said with a smile: "What my lord said is that the lower officials of the Weaving Bureau have never slackened, but... As for the weavers and silkworms, adults still need to show up. ”

"Well, too." Li Qing got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Huh? This...... Now? ”

"Or else?" Li Qing asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the prefect of the palace thinks that this official is here to play?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Wang Lin sneered, "Why don't you let the lower officials inform the rich gentry first, and let them prepare." ”

Li Qing was surprised: "What are you going to prepare?" ”

Wang Lin was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"Let's go, it's too early and not too late." Li Qingdao said, "Ben Qincha's time is precious and he can't afford to waste it. ”

Wang Lin: "......"

After leaving the Qincha Academy, Li Qing called two Jinyi guards and said, "Governor Wang, let's go to your house first, shall we?" ”

"This ......," Wang Lin felt a pang in his heart, "My lord, why don't you go to Rich Liu's house, his family's workshop is bigger." ”

"Hmm... Okay, too. "Li Qing is as good as a stream.

At this stage, Wang Lin is still useful, he doesn't want to persecute too much.

……

Half an hour later, the group came to the workshop of the rich man Liu.

The scale of Liu's workshop is quite large, covering an area of more than ten acres, nearly 1,000 looms, nearly 3,000 workers, from boiling cocoons and silk to dyeing and drying, the production chain is perfect.

"Squeak Squeak......"

The sound of the loom came and went, so lively.

Li Qing looked happy, this has already shown signs of industrialization, and it can almost be called a factory.

When the rich man heard that the Qin mission was coming, he immediately put aside the matter at hand and hurried to the party.

After walking around, Li Qing had a new understanding and overturned his previous thoughts.

β€”β€”The family assets of the local rich gentry are definitely more than the vassal kings!

"Lord Qincha has worked hard." Rich man Liu flattered, "The villain has prepared some coarse tea and light rice, and I hope the adults will appreciate their faces!" ”

"Oh?" Li Qing rubbed his belly and said with a hearty smile, "Okay, Ben Qincha happened to be hungry, so Rich Man Liu broke the bank." ”

"Where is it...... "Rich Lord Liu was overjoyed, "Your Excellency, your Excellency, please." ”

When Wang Lin saw this, he was also overjoyed, this is a good signal!

If you are not afraid of corrupt officials, you are afraid of clean officials.

As long as you ask for something, it's easy to handle.

~

The Liu family.

Li Qing sat down unceremoniously, accompanied by Rich Liu and Governor Wang, who were cautious, and continued to flatter.

In a few days, the wine and dishes are served one after another, and each dish is pitiful, but it is extremely exquisite and expensive.

Just the carp whiskers and duck tongue, don't look at the small two plates, I don't know how many fish and ducks have been killed.

The wine is also unusual, soft in the mouth and a line of throat.

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Lao Zhu and the fourth master have never been so extravagant. ”

The wealth of the rich gentry in Jiangnan once again refreshed his cognition, and these rich gentry who have been passed down from generation to generation really make him greedy.

Governor Wang and Rich Liu toasted again and again, and Li Qing also looked very useful, and the three of them talked and laughed, as if they had been friends for many years.

Seeing that the time was gradually ripe, Wang Lin gave Rich Master Liu a look, and the latter understood, raised his glass and smiled, "My lord, why don't you let the two officials go to eat something, they will not be easy." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile and sent the two brocade guards to retreat.

He knew that the time had come to test him.

Sure enough, as soon as Jinyiwei retreated, Rich Liu slapped his palm a few times, and after a while, a group of warblers and warblers walked into the room.

"Dance, dance......!"

The women bowed and twisted their waists.

Jiangnan women are as soft as water, and their unique style is really eye-catching.

Test me with this?

Li Qing was a little disappointed, he thought he would bribe with money.

After a while, the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion beckoned his subordinates and hugged a big box, and the rich man Liu smiled and said: "Lord Qincha is a scholar, and he regards money as dung. ”

As he spoke, he opened the box and took out a copy casually, "Is it still satisfactory for adults?" ”

Li Qing was really not interested in these, but in order to paralyze the other party, he still took it and flipped it up, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the contents of the book.

It's not a book, it's a treasure note.

"My lord, this book ...... How is it? ”

Li Qing laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

After a pause, "Let's get here today, the prefect of the king of Gai Ming'er called all the rich gentry, and the weaving bureau has to help the rich gentry, so we have to discuss it well." ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

Wang Lin is overjoyed, isn't this there?

For these people, as long as they can solve things with money, they are not troublesome, and Qin Cha is so good, it can be said that everyone is happy.

Rich Lord Liu also smiled from ear to ear, killing Qin was just angry talk, and he was happy to see it if it could be resolved peacefully.

Li Qing ate, drank, and took again, so that the two of them were completely reassured.

……

Returning to the Qincha Academy, the hundred households in brocade clothes immediately stepped forward to report: "My lord, the commander is here." ”

Li Qing's eyes lit up: "What about others?" ”

"There are adults and daughters in the courtyard, and the commander makes it difficult for the adults to stay long, so they go to the post house." Jinyi Baihu asked, "Do you want to invite him over?" ”

Li Qing nodded.

Half an hour later, Jin Yiwei commanded Ji Gang to come on horseback.

Hugging his fists, he said: "I've seen Yongqinghou." ”

"Commander Ji is a young courtesy, dismount and speak." Li Qing didn't like to look up, so he sat on the recliner in the courtyard by himself, "How many people are here?" ”

Ji Gang turned over and dismounted, and replied: "One thousand five, the emperor is worried about the safety of the marquis, so he sent all the idle brocade guards. ”

"Well, you go to the inn first, and don't expose it for the time being."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Ji Gang refused, "The emperor asked this official to protect the Hou Ye, and I hope the Hou Ye will understand." ”

Li Qing didn't bother to explain to him, and took out an object from his arms, "Is it okay now?" ”

Ji Gang stretched his neck and glanced at it, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......

Li Qing took back the token of "Ru I Came in Person", "Commander Ji has worked hard all the way, go back and have a good rest, and wait for news from Benhou." ”

"Yes." Ji Gang said yes, and there was no trace of support.

To be able to let the emperor give such a token is enough to show that Li Qing's energy is huge, even he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who has changed the color of hundreds of officials, cannot afford to provoke him.

"Then the lower official will wait in the post house first, if the Hou Ye is sent, the words will be one."

The attitude before and after the discipline is very different.

Li Qing bowed slightly: "Well, let's go!" ”
