poor family prodigal

"Sir, if I dare to attack them, all the gentlemen of the court will kill me."

Wei Cheng looked sad, but felt relieved.

The military attache beat the civil servant, and the great cause of the country was established for more than two hundred years, but this has never happened!

If he dares to take action, he will be punished by thousands of people!

As for whether to fight or hide, that is also considered.

Those scholars beat him like this, and they were too embarrassed to try to get in touch with him again.

Sure enough, after a group of people beat him up, they stopped talking about joining him.

Wang Yuan didn't bother him, so he ran back with his people.

Pei Xianzheng, the magistrate of Longnan, continued to scold: "Trash, a group of people without official positions, an eighth-rank Hanlin, look at how scared you are, you are also a fifth-rank general!"

"Sir, it's not like you don't know that in Daye, our military attachés are nothing in the eyes of civil servants! Let alone an eighth-grade person, even a seventh-grade person, I don't dare to fight back!"

Wei Cheng looked bitter: "Sir, that boy is an old yinbi, and there are so many tricks to help him, let's forget about this!"

"You, a warrior, are afraid of a group of traitors, but I don't take them seriously!"

Pei Xianzheng, who was also a Jinshi, hummed: "I am in Longnan County, serving as a pastor for the imperial court. Every year, I get first-class results in the official assessment. As long as someone in the imperial court speaks, I can be promoted to the third rank."

Wei Cheng was startled and gritted his teeth: "That kid named Wang has ruined your future, sir!"

In the assessment of imperial officials, taxes are a major item.

Dingzhou is located on the frontier, so taxes, taxes and corvees are heavy, and other counties cannot collect them all every year!

However, the prefects had various tax collection methods and were able to collect enough tax money for the court every year.

Originally, once the term of office was over, the money would be managed in the court, and he would be promoted to a third-rank official.

As a result, He County rebelled, and Wang Yuan captured the green-faced beast, causing them to be demoted.

"So you can swallow this breath, but I can't!"

Pei Xianzheng snorted: "I'm going to make that kid bleed violently, and even prepare enough money for me to go to Beijing!"

Wei Cheng nodded and frowned: "But sir, those gangsters are following that kid, and the Lu family seems to support that kid! If we do it again, they will make trouble again!"

"How could a group of young men and women give up their bright future for a businessman who is rejected by the imperial court! As for the Lu family, it was Lu Zhaolin who made his own decision, and it was definitely not his father's idea!"

Pei Xianzheng smiled coldly: "If what I expected is true, the group of traitors left for an excuse not long after you came back! When the Lu family receives the news, they will also recall Lu Zhaolin back soon!"

"should be!"

Wei Cheng frowned and nodded: "But that kid is not simple either. He is secretive. I'm afraid he has some back-up plans!"

As soon as they heard the name of the magistrate, those officials became jealous and did not dare to be so arrogant!

If it weren't for Lu Zhaolin's instigation, he wouldn't have dared to do it!

Pei Xianzheng smiled disdainfully: "His little scheme is far from elegant, and it won't catch the eyes of my own officials.

I personally deal with him this time, and I guarantee that even the gods will not be able to save him! "

……

Outside Longnan County, there is a traffic jam on the official road!

Gu Qingfeng from the Hanlin Academy clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Mingtan, the student is still honoring his mother's filial piety. It's inconvenient to stay outside any longer, so I'm leaving now!"

"It is the duty of a son to be a filial piety to his parents. Gu Xiansheng is a role model for our generation!"

Wang Yuan cupped his fists and saluted, grabbed the package in Dahu's hand and handed it over: "Some local specialties in the village are not valuable, please Mr. Gu, please don't dislike them!"

There are three kilograms of sugar, ten pieces of soap, and one hundred taels of silver in the package!

Worth nearly three hundred taels of silver!

"...Sir, I don't dare to give it to you!"

After taking the package, his hands sank, and he felt as if he had touched a silver ingot on the cloth. Gu Qingfeng felt happy, and with a calm expression on his face, he got into the carriage and left!

Juren Luo Shicheng also stepped forward and said: "Sir, Zhuo Jing is about to give birth in October. The student will no longer stay outside for a long time and has to say goodbye!"

"This is also a big deal. If you go back and guard it, I won't keep you!"

Wang Yuan also grabbed a baggage and stuffed it over it, saying the same thing!

Scholars are shameless. If you offer money to them in public, no one will accept it.

They may even turn against each other!

Not long after, everyone came to say goodbye. It was all about family matters!

Wang Yuan looked regretful, said regretful words, and handed over the burdens one by one!

In a short time, the eleven people left!

Lu Zhaolin frowned: These people are still afraid of Pei Xianzheng and dare not stay and accompany him!

Da da da!

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over, and a servant in Tsing Yi dismounted, came to Lu Zhaolin, knelt down and said: "Young Master, I am sick. Madam, please go home!"

"My father is sick!"

Lu Zhaolin frowned: "Shunzi, tell the truth, did my father pretend to be sick to trick me into going home after hearing what happened here? If you lied to me, don't follow me in the future!"

Servant Shunzi's eyes trembled and he lowered his head: "Master, I'm really sick. The cold I felt three days ago is getting worse now!"

Lu Zhaolin frowned: "You're talking nonsense. We have a doctor at home, how can you not even be able to cure a cold?"

Servant Shunzi whispered: "Master is really sick!"

Before Lu Zhaolin could say anything more, Wang Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "If you eat whole grains, there's no one who doesn't get sick. Go back and take a look. I'm fine now!"

"Uncle Yuan, let me go back and take a look. If my father is fine, I will chase him!"

When he thought about it, Lu Zhaolin clasped his fists in salute, frowned and turned to leave.

Dahu, the young guard, Yu Tieshan, Heijia, and the veteran frowned!

These scholars are too timid and were frightened like this by a prefect.

In fact, the prefect and others were also afraid, but if it was for Wang Yuan, they would dare to risk their lives.

It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Wang Yuan did not blame these people, as they did not have much friendship with each other.

The carriage team continued to move forward and arrived at a small village in the middle of the night!

The group of people entered the village, intending to find a sheltered place to stay overnight and provide firewood.

The arrival of twenty carriages immediately attracted many villagers, who poked their heads in to watch.

Looking at these villagers, Dahu felt sour and uncomfortable!

The villagers are similar to those in Dawangzhuang before. They have dark hands and faces, and are dressed in shabby clothes. They wear single clothes in cold weather. Many of them are barefoot, with frostbite on their hands and feet. They are all skinny and small. They live in adobe thatched houses.

Wang Yuan waved, and a barefoot boy came over timidly, handed over half a sling of copper coins and said, "Little brother, what's your name!"

Seeing the half-hanging copper coin, the half-grown boy did not dare to accept it. When Wang Yuan put the copper coin into his hand, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: "Master, my surname is Ye, and my name is Gou Sheng!"

Wang Yuan helped him up and said: "Brother Ye, we are passing merchants. We want to find several courtyards to light fires for cooking and stay overnight. It is best if these courtyards are next to each other. Each courtyard will be given two guans per night."

"what!"

Ye Gou Sheng was startled and said quickly: "Master, you gave me too much. Only two hundred coins will make someone willing!"

Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm going to trouble you so much, so I'd better give you two bucks and help me ask!"

It’s not that he is reluctant to give too much, but now money is just a number to him!

But these poor people, if you give them two taels of silver, they can buy some rice and noodles!

Give them ten or twenty taels, and it won't fall into their hands!

"Sir, you are really kind-hearted. I will help you find the yard right away!"

Ye Goucheng ran away.

The whole village was boiling.

Not long after, a group of ragged villagers came, surrounding the young man in long robes.

The young man's robe was washed white and patched, but it was very clean, and his hands and face were white.

Ye Goucheng introduced to Wang Yuan: "Master, this is Brother Ye Tian, ​​the patriarch of our Yejia Village. He is a famous scholar and a big landowner in our village. His family has [-] acres of land, but he doesn't care about us. That’s great, we only charge [-]% of the rent!”

"Brother Ye is so righteous!"

Wang Yuan clasped his fists and praised sincerely: "I, Wang Yuan, a man from Fu County, go to the city to do business!"

Landlords charge tenants [-] to [-]% of their rent, while those with good intentions receive [-] to [-]% of the rent.

Taking [-]% ​​of the rent is considered a bodhisattva-like heart in this era!

After all, landlords also have to pay rent!

"Brother Yuan is overly praised. The imperial tax is really heavy. Even if I charge [-]% of the rent, the villagers will not be able to live anymore."

Ye Tian cupped his fists and smiled bitterly, then bowed his head and saluted: "On behalf of the fellow villagers, I would like to thank Brother Yuan for his generosity. A yard in the countryside is not worth two cents!"

Wang Yuan waved his hand and stopped talking about the price!

Ye Tian, ​​Ye Gou Sheng, Wang Yuan and others started looking for a yard in the village!

Ten courtyards were quickly found, but except for four with walls, the rest were fenced.

One yard received two coins, and all the villagers who received the money burst into tears of gratitude.

They also knew that if they stayed overnight in a farmyard, they would pay a hundred cents to go to heaven.

The group started to light a fire and cook.

And Wang Yuan, Dahu, and Yu Tieshan brought ten people to Ye Tian's house!

A courtyard surrounded by eight blue brick houses, the ground is all paved with green bricks, and it is kept very clean.

Two carriages pulled into the courtyard, Wang Yuan took out two pieces of money and handed them over!

Ye Tian pushed back with his hand: "Brother Yuan, the villagers charging you two dollars is already too much! But their lives are difficult, so I didn't stop them. But I don't have to worry about food and clothing, how can I accept you just because I want to stay for a night? Where’s the money?”

Seeing that he was sincere and not like someone who was short of two thousand dollars, Wang Yuan put it away!

At this moment, a little boy ran out, hugged Ye Tian's thigh, looked at Wang Yuan timidly, and whispered: "Daddy, daddy, are there guests at home?"

Ye Tian smiled and pulled the little boy forward: "Well, at this time, your Uncle Yuan is a kind-hearted man with a good heart!"

The little boy stared with big eyes and bowed crookedly: "I've seen Uncle Yuan!"

Wang Yuan smiled, took out a piece of maltose from the carriage and stuffed it into the little boy's hand: "What's your name!"

Glancing at Ye Tian and seeing him nodding, the little boy took the maltose and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan. My nickname is Gou Wa and my nickname is Tianci."

"Brother Yuan, don't be offended by the fact that children are ignorant!"

Ye Tian smiled apologetically and shouted into the room: "Ali, take Gouwa away quickly, I want to invite Brother Yuan to use the room!"

A pretty young woman walked out, bowed to Wang Yuan, picked up the little boy and returned to the room.

Dinner has begun!
