Chapter 50 The County Prince Visits

"Is this Dawangzhuang?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"When you go to the village, don't call me Sir anymore, call me Master!"

"Yes, sir!"

"When you meet sir, you must be respectful and don't lose your etiquette!"

"Yes, sir!"

A carriage drove into Dawangzhuang, Xu Captou opened the curtain, and Zhao Weimin stepped out.

The four government servants were dressed as servants, with swords and bows and crossbows hidden in the carriage.

Taking advantage of Wang Ergou's complaint, he captured Xing San and Fang Tiexin, and undermined the horse owner's prestige. He took advantage of the situation and took control of most of the county government offices.

After working hard to write down the plan for demolishing the market wall and creating a night economy, I finally had some free time and came to Dawangzhuang, where I had been thinking a lot.

On the day of the complaint, something happened in the fish market, and he also heard from Capt. Xu.

With just a few words, the teacher turned the timid people into almost riots. This technique of manipulating people's hearts can be said to turn one's hands into clouds and his hands into rain.

If such a great sage could serve the imperial court, he would be a great blessing.

As a group of people walked into the village, the villagers watched from a distance and talked about it from time to time!

"Xu Captou!"

Zhao Weimin was also looking at the villagers: "How do you feel the difference between the villagers in this village and other places!"

"Sir, most of the villagers in Dawang Village are fairer and look much better. Many people are smiling happily, as if their days are full of hope."

Xu Captou, who is good at observing, can see the difference in Dawang Village at a glance.

"Not bad!"

Zhao Weimin nodded with satisfaction and walked towards a blind old man: "Brother, I see you are so happy. Is there something big happy at home?"

"There's nothing happy about it. My son has joined Brother Yuan's fishing team and he can get the same amount of money every month, plus no less than two guan of bonus at the end of the month. In the past, people from ten villages and eight villages thought I was poor and were unwilling to go as a matchmaker for my son. Now that all the matchmakers have crossed the threshold, it’s my turn to pick them, and I picked a good matchmaker for my kid. The matchmaker will grow up to be good-looking, have a big butt, and be able to have babies, hehe!”

No matter who asked the question, Blind Wang raised his head with a beaming face.

"One son became angry after joining the fishing team. Two of my sons joined the fish selling team. Each of them earned at least two guan per month. Plus their bonuses, my family earned no less than [-] guan per month. We don’t even care about this, but your blind Wang’s family earns so much in a month, so you still have the nerve to show off!”

A hunchbacked old man said that he was not showing off and shouted so loudly that the whole village could hear him.

"The fishing team gets two guans a month, and the fish selling team gets three guans a month!"

Zhao Weimin was shocked.

There is a surplus of labor in the countryside, and there are many laborers working. As long as they have enough food to eat, they can do without wages.

Even if it's a very heavy job, three hundred cents a month is enough.

The gentleman was so generous that he paid the villagers two or three times a month.

This is really a life for the people!

The group of people continued to step forward, and many little children looked at it curiously from a distance!

Nowadays, strangers often come to Dawang Village. The little baby is no longer afraid after seeing many people.

Zhao Weimin walked towards a little doll and said, "What's your name!"

The little guy with a tiger's head and a tiger's head was wearing crotchless pants, with a string of clear snot sucking up and down in his nasal cavity, and he spoke in a milky voice: "My name is Wang Sanhu."

Zhao Weimin took out a piece of maltose and handed it over: "I'll give you a piece of maltose to eat. Tell uncle why your little hands and face are so clean?"

I often visit the countryside and see many little babies, all with black hands and black faces.

This Dawang Village is different. Some of the little babies are all black, while some are white.

"No!"

Wang Sanhu put his little hands back, shook his head vigorously, and two pieces of clear mucus floated in the air: "Yuan Guo told us, those who give us sweets are all traffickers, and they want to kill us." Scam him and sell him, so that he can never see my father and brother again through the secret door. I will not eat the sweets from you, a human trafficker!"

"Human Trafficker!"

Zhao Weimin couldn't laugh or cry!

He was a dignified scholar, but this kid called him a human trafficker.

Snapped!

Aunt Hong ran over, picked up Wang Sanhu, slapped his butt, and said with a wary smile: "Master, this child is talking nonsense, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

"Children's words are not taboo!"

Zhao Weimin smiled and waved his hands, then changed the subject and asked, "I wonder why some people and children in Dawang Village have paler hands and faces than people in other places!"

"I thought the master was going to ask something!"

Aunt Hong, who was on guard, breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Yuan invented soap and told us that diseases come from the mouth. We need to pay attention to hygiene and wash our hands with soap before eating. The more we wash, the whiter our hands will be." Black face!"

Zhao Weimin couldn't believe it: "You said that Mr. soap was actually invented?"

Recently, Hu's grocery store sold a kind of soap, which is very clean for washing hands and face.

But the price is very expensive. One piece costs three guans, which is equivalent to one month's wages of the head catcher.

With the push of soap, young ladies and wives of rich families no longer need soap.

As expected of you sir, last time I said in the Li Mansion, if you want to make money, make money from the rich!

How long has passed, and as expected, I have taken action, and I really do what I say!

"Do you really know my brother Jiayuan?"

After hearing the meaning of the words, Aunt Hong looked at Zhao Weimin with a wary expression.

I heard from the master that someone wants to harm Brother Yuan, so you should pay attention.

"We met once. Sir taught me a lot. I'm here to say thank you this time!"

Zhao Weimin smiled and asked for the things in Xu Xu's hands: "Sister-in-law, don't worry that I'm a bad guy, I don't have to let them follow!"

"Then come with me!"

Aunt Hong felt relieved and took Zhao Weimin to Wang Yuan's house, but she missed everything!

Li Shihan came forward to receive him, and Zhao Weimin put down his gifts and came out, and came to the canteen with great interest.

It was already noon and the rice was ready.

The fishing team called it a day, went to the market to sell fish, and the purchasing team returned.

A group of people wash their hands, line up, prepare rice, vegetables, meat, and serve soup in an orderly manner.

Everyone was smiling and talking about each other's gains, experiences, and expectations.

Seeing this peaceful, stable and prosperous scene, Zhao Weimin's face was full of joy. He closed his eyes for a long time and murmured: "The paradise of kingship in the heart of a saint is nothing more than this!"

"Master, if you don't mind it, just ask your people to come and eat some!"

Aunt Hong and the cook brought out a table and served dry millet rice, wild vegetable and egg soup, fried pork and fish, and fried dried radish with oil residue!

"No, there's nothing objectionable about this. It's better than what I usually eat!"

Zhao Weimin laughed and sat down, turned around and beckoned: "Old Xu, call them over and let's eat together!"

Xu Captou came over with four yamen servants, and sat down nervously. He was very restrained in picking up the food, and he only dared to hang half of the stool with his buttocks.

Seeing that several people had eaten, Aunt Hong also started chatting: "Master, actually when I first saw you, I didn't think you were a bad person. You are like Brother Yuan, you are a scholar at first glance, and you are particularly kind-hearted. kind!"

Zhao Weimin finished chewing the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "Then why is my sister-in-law so wary when she sees me!"

Aunt Hong looked around and lowered her voice: "My boss said that someone wants to harm Brother Yuan, so we should pay attention to strangers from outside! But I think you look like a good person, not the kind who would harm others."

Snapped!

Zhao Weimin's eyes darkened, the chopsticks in his hands were broken, and his face was as cold as ice and majestic.

Xu Captou and the four government servants froze, and they did not dare to chew the food in their mouths.

"You should be scared. You scholars are just timid. Go back in the afternoon after eating. In recent days, we have been really uneasy! Brother Yuan and the head of the family leave early and come back late all day long. You may not be able to see them if you stay. .”

Aunt Hong handed over another chopstick and left with a warning!

Zhao Weimin was silent for a moment and then said: "...Eat!"

Capt. Xu and the four other captors quickly started cooking!

Dinner is over!

Zhao Weimin's face was as cold as ice: "Go back to the county government and call a team of arresters. They must all wear armor and hold bows. If you encounter anyone who is unfavorable to you, I will kill without mercy!"
