Chapter 43: A Fruitless Argument

A group of people couldn't help but be shocked when they heard that Chen Dinghan was actually the young master of the Chen family, even if it was a village outside Yucheng, they had heard of the various bad deeds of the third young master of the Chen family.

And when Chen Dinghan saw the discoloration of these people after hearing his name, he couldn't help but blush, revealing a strange expression.

"That...... It doesn't matter what you've heard before, but that's the past, and you have to ignore the past!"

In a burst of surprise, Chen Dinghan got back into the carriage and left here, walking all the way in the direction of the Imperial Tomb City.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Chen Dinghan was questioned by Bai Yinxue.

"Chen Dinghan, I don't think it's right for you to do this, you are aiding and abusing. ”

"Helping to abuse!?" Chen Dinghan was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows: "Why did I help the abuse!?"

"Even if they are villagers in the vicinity, but the imperial court distributes disaster relief funds and subsidies every year, food and clothing are definitely not a problem, these people are just lazy to eat, and they are clearly preparing to rely on robbery to save the labor of farming. ”

Bai Yinxue Zhenzhen, Chen Dinghan never interrupted, just listened quietly, but his expression changed at any time, sometimes surprised, sometimes exclaimed, and his performance was extremely exaggerated.

"Chen Dinghan, I'm not joking with you, you don't have this attitude with me, this is a very serious question, if you think they are pitiful, give them fifty taels this time, or even more, then next time, when they meet others, it will not be as simple as asking for two taels of silver. ”

Regarding Chen Dinghan's attitude, Bai Yinxue was very unhappy, he didn't understand why the seemingly shrewd third young master of the Chen family did this thing so confused.

Chen Dinghan plucked his ears and asked with an indifferent expression, "It's over!?"

"That's it. Bai Yinxue took a breath of air, feeling that this Chen Dinghan really hadn't changed at all, it was that kind of squishful look.

Even if the Chen family has a little money in Yucheng, it won't be so.

"Haven't you ever thought about what they are doing for a group of more than 20 people, and they only need two taels of silver? This is not just a matter of food and clothing. ”

Chen Dinghan didn't give Bai Yinxue a chance to interject, and said to himself.

"They are indeed farmers in this neighborhood, but they are also the pillars of the family, and instead of farming, they come out to rob the road, not only because of their food and clothing, but also for their children and wives. ”

"Dayu has been in drought for three consecutive years, almost every year there is no harvest, no farming, and there is no guarantee of life, so they will come out to rob the road, and it is only two taels of silver, not much, just want to buy some dry food, for the family to leave some rations, is this wrong!?"

"Why did they become a scumbag when they came to your mouth!?"

Speaking of this, Chen Dinghan's brows also furrowed, although Bai Yunxue used a trick to make him have to stand in the same boat with him before, but after all, he also needs the power of Bai Yinxue's family, which can be regarded as a win-win cooperation.

It's just that just now, he shouted one by one, which made his impression of Bai Yinxue drop by half in an instant, and before he figured things out, he made up his mind like this, obviously a person without foresight.

"I naturally know about the drought in the past few years, and I also know that the imperial court is afraid that the people will be famine, so it allocates a huge amount of disaster relief funds and subsidies every year, just to make the people's lives better. ”

Bai Yunxue didn't feel that she was wrong and continued to argue.

"And I understand that every farming family will receive at least twenty taels of disaster relief silver and ten taels of subsidies every year, thirty taels of silver for a Chinese New Year's Eve, even if it is a family of five, a year's food and clothing is not a problem, right!? So they still rob the road like this, what is it if they are not Diao Min!?"

"Thirty taels!?also disaster relief funds and subsidies, you only listen to the imperial court, have you ever heard the people say!?" Chen Dinghan shook his head helplessly, this boy seems to be a fool, what others say is what he says, and he will not inquire at all.

"Could it be that the imperial court will deceive the people!?" Bai Yinxue was furious: "You slander the imperial court like this, you are not afraid of violating the criminal law!?"

"The prosperity of the people is the prosperity of the country, of course the royal family will not deceive the people, they also want the people to live a carefree life, but what about the royal family!?" Chen Dinghan said with a shake of his head.

When I was talking to those people just now, they hadn't even heard of what disaster relief funds and subsidies were, and some of them didn't even know what they were.

And according to his inference from watching costume dramas for many years, these disaster relief funds and subsidies are likely to be exploited layer by layer, until they are finally exhausted, and the people can't even see the shadow.

"What do you mean!? Blatantly slander the court in front of me!? Even if we are in a cooperative relationship, I won't allow you to make it up!"

Bai Yinxue was angry, Bai Jun's face was already ruddy, and he was still panting heavily.

"I said Bai Yinxue, why do you keep thinking about the court talking!?Even if your father is a minister of the court, you don't need to do this!?" Chen Dinghan was a little surprised that Bai Yinxue cared so much about the reputation of the court.

"Hmph, I am a Dayu person, I naturally know the Dayu Dynasty's dedication to the people, as a Dayu person, I must not tolerate others slandering the dynasty!"

"Okay, maybe you don't believe what I said, so let's do it, there are begging people in front, just ask them. ”

Chen Dinghan saw that there were a lot of begging people along the road, and when he was around Yucheng, he didn't see it, but when he couldn't see Yucheng, there were more people begging, and most of them were women and children.

Therefore, Chen Dinghan speculated that these people were farmers from surrounding villages, and they might even be poor women whose husbands had died.

Bai Yinxue hesitated, his brows furrowed, to be honest, after he saw this begging man, he had already begun to shake the status of the dynasty in his heart.

"Parking. ”

Bai Yinxue stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage, Chen Dinghan followed behind him, Gu Shanghan closed his eyes in the carriage to recuperate, he who lived once last night, this kind of thing is no longer strange.

"Please, okay, give us something to eat, my son hasn't eaten for four days, if he can't eat, he's going to starve to death, please, okay. ”

A woman in her twenties, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her arms, kept kowtowing to Bai Yinxue who was walking towards her, begging for something to eat.

The woman is obviously only in her twenties, but now she is extremely vicissitudes, there is no clean place on her body, and the child in her arms, thin as wood, has fallen into a coma in her arms.

Bai Yinxue's face was solemn, this scene didn't seem to be fake, the child was really skinny, and his face was pale: "Eldest sister, why are you begging here, the man in the family!?"
