Yipin Farmer

Chapter 85 Calculating Value

"Seeing him building a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse." This is a proverb describing nouveau riche.

This is the case with the Meng family. After two experiences of "building a tall building, the building collapsed". Starting from Meng Kejian, he left the mountain village and worked hard to start a business, and finally made a fortune.Unexpectedly, a fire quickly destroyed the family business.Ting Shuang started again, and with another big fire, revived the family business and became the new rich in Changping County. Unexpectedly, all the properties and shops were closed overnight. Also, defeat, how fast."

It's just that Ting Shuang is a small and strong time traveler who can't be beaten to death or boiled. She is not discouraged in the face of difficulties, but on the contrary inspires her fighting spirit.Go home and prepare to pack the package and go to the provincial capital to complain.

Master Zheng still remembered the former county magistrate Qi Chongyu's entrustment to him to take care of the Meng family, and ordered the servants to leave his old house in Sanhua Village.The courtyard behind the restaurant was sealed off, and Ting Shuang moved Mrs. Qi to Zhou's courtyard next to the old house in the village.Because Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou were working in the city, Dayingzi and Xiaoyingzi worked in a restaurant and a pharmacy, so they sold the Zhou’s old home and a few acres of land in the village to Tingshuang, and the payment was still made in installments. Therefore, Tingshuang moved Mrs. Qi into Zhou's courtyard to live in. The people who worked for him in the village had to come back, and the Zhou family still lived in the city.

Xiao Lan didn't know what happened, but she saw a beautiful aunt coming from the city, she circled her curiously, rolled her black eyes and asked Mrs. Qi, "Why is your belly so big? Oh, you're full, right? "

Aunt Li turned pale with shock, covered her mouth and carried her away, but Mrs. Qi was not annoyed, and laughed straight at her teasing.

Ting Shuang settled the house and asked Ting Hui to take good care of the house so as not to delay the crop work in the field. While packing her bags and preparing to go to the province, Bao Qi also packed her bags.

Chen Guang helped him tidy up, very helpless: "What are you going to do? The governor is the head of a province, and he has the power to handle government affairs. Even the governor will not easily refute his decisions. You are just a nobleman with no real power or reputation. , have no affiliation with him, and have no friendship with him, if he doesn’t agree with you, how can you fight him hard? At that time, you will be punished for being a ‘relative or noble who interferes in local political affairs’.”

Bao Qi packed her bags and said without raising her head, "I'm not here to interfere in local political affairs, I'm going to supervise that guy, let him eat and sleep on time, don't get angry, and remind him to take constipation medicine."

Chen Guang's cheeks twitched, she was indeed a round-the-clock nanny, taking care of her from home to going out.

Seeing Baoqi carrying the burden, Ting Shuang was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "What are you going to do? Ping'an has been my servant since childhood, so he just follows."

"I know more about the officialdom than he does. Moreover, I will follow you and supervise you to eat, sleep and take medicine on time so that you don't get angry and ruin your body."

Ting Shuang was stunned, as if her heart was being plucked by an invisible string, she felt an indescribable warmth welling up in her heart, and reluctantly said: "Oh... yes..."

"Have you packed your things? Do you have the letter that old man Ruan gave you?" Bao Qi reminded him.

"A letter to Xuezheng Yuda?"

"Yes. That's important."

Ting Shuang still retains the habit of caring about current affairs and politics in his previous life. He has some understanding of the official system of this era. Xuezheng is an official who manages the education and examination work of a province. Equal speeches, non-interference in each other's affairs.

Ruan Ying's letter was addressed to Xuezheng. Even if he was familiar with Xuezheng and Xuezheng was willing to help, he could not interfere with the decision of the governor. In the case of ultra vires, the authority of the governor is respected by the governor and even the Ministry of Beijing, because he is the head of a province.

"I'm planning to go to Futai Yamen to argue. The letter to Xuezheng is not that important, is it?" Ting Shuang was uncertain.

Baoqi said with certainty: "No, you go to Yu Xuezheng first and ask him to go to Futai. You don't need to go to the governor's office, it's useless, maybe you won't even be able to get in."

Ting Shuang couldn't understand: "For such a case, go to Xuezheng, not the governor?"

"Yes, you are right to listen to me." Baoqi said firmly. "Old Master Shi also has some truths in what he said. To do business, you need to win steadily. Your career has developed too fast, and your rise in a year is eye-catching. Although you haven't made any mistakes, you are hated by others. I don't know who is behind it. The governor has already issued a seizure order for the black case filed against you by the province, and if it is withdrawn, it will also damage his prestige. Besides, he has prejudice against you first, or has been instigated by others, so it is useless for you to go to him to humiliate yourself. It's better to find Xuezheng, although Xuezheng and the governor have no affiliation, they have the right to report on their own, and they also have the right to intervene in the people's conditions under the rule, and the governor has to be scruples and dare not mess around."

Seeing that he was so sure, Ting Shuang had no reason to trust him.

A few days later, the two came to Kaifeng Mansion. Two years later, revisiting the old place was like a dream. How many times Ting Shuang dreamed of returning to the old place, and went back in the most beautiful way. Unexpectedly, this return is still the same as when he left. abjection.

Bao Qi seemed to know what he was thinking, and held his hand tightly.Ting Shuang smiled back and settled down.

The two split up, and Ting Shuang took Ruan Ying's letter to find Yu Da. Yu Da saw that it was a letter written by the teacher, so he hurriedly met him, and after listening to his complaint, he felt that it was not a big deal. It was nothing more than a bandit who had robbed a corrupt official who had talked to him and given him a few horses. The bandit knew so many people, could it be possible to kill everyone?

Immediately asked Fu Tingshuang to wait for the news.

On Baoqi's side, she went directly to the governor, who didn't know him, and heard that he didn't care about his identity. How could a high-ranking feudal official with a lot of power put a nobleman with no real power and no military exploits in his eyes? Li, in his eyes, people like Bao Qi are nothing more than second-generation ancestors who rely on the shadow of their father and grandfather to eat and play.

Unfortunately, Baoqi is indeed this kind of person, without any credit, and relying on his ancestral shadow to obtain the title, the court is to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, and a person like him who belongs to idle relatives does not have any position and idles around all day long.

What's more unfortunate is that Baoqi is unwilling to go on like this, and is unwilling to rely on the shadow of his ancestors to dawdle, but he has no chance to make meritorious deeds. The combination of ambition and cruel reality is very sad.

The governor's superficial respect didn't take him seriously. How could he not see it? He clenched his fists, thinking that Ting Shuang was in a hurry for this matter, so he could only hold back his breath and said, "For such a small matter, the house was ransacked and the door was sealed, and the person who was searched was The seventh-rank farmer who has not been rewarded by the emperor for a long time, Mr. Futai did this, I am afraid that he did not take the emperor seriously."

Raising the big banner of the emperor is quite shocking, but the governor is a treacherous official, so naturally he will not be shocked, saying: "The emperor has recently ordered to severely punish the rioters who have colluded with the Tianli Sect and the Tianli Sect. If you want to kill a hundred policemen, this is just to honor the holy will."

"Hmph," Baoqi sneered, "Is there any evidence that Ting Shuang colluded with the Tianli Sect? Is there any evidence that Geng Xianghua is a member of the Tianli Sect? If there is no evidence, the house was confiscated and the seventh-rank official of the court was confiscated without interrogation. How could there be such a rule? No Give me an explanation, I want to play."

The governor saw that he was aggressive, and although he maintained his superficial politeness, his words were soft and firm: "The subordinates are loyal to the emperor, not relatives and relatives. Mr. Bao has a noble status, so you know the reason why you are not in his position and do not seek his own government?"

The needle pierced the skin of the face, Baoqi trembled with anger, her fingers trembled, and she couldn't speak for a moment.

The governor smiled: "My lord, have you forgotten that the emperor has ordered that relatives, nobles and relatives interfere in local government affairs, but they will be punished."

This is the emperor's decree to specifically restrain the royal family. Otherwise, there are so many royal relatives in the capital, all of whom are of high status. If they all dictate and interfere with local government affairs, wouldn't it be a mess? How can the local governor govern the people and manage the government? ?Therefore, the emperor strictly prohibited relatives and nobles from interfering in the court and local government affairs, and offenders would be punished.

Hearing his "kind reminder", Baoqi smiled angrily, but calmed down: "Okay, okay, I want to see how this is going to happen during my court meeting if there is no evidence to convict the seventh-rank officials without trial." What kind of precedent, you just go ahead and see if the emperor will allow this to happen."

Bao Qi flew away in a rage, the governor frowned and pondered, and said to Chen Antai who was hiding in the ear room of the living room: "You did a good job, you said that Meng Tingshuang forcibly occupied the land of Huang's family and made friends with bandits from the Tianli sect, but look, young lord of Jinxiang mansion." The Lord will protect him, he would rather be convicted and sue for him, what do you want to do with such a strong backer?"

Chen Antai spoke uprightly: "It's not that I want to move him, but people from the Huang family came to me to complain that I can't ignore it. The Huang family has been in decline for a long time, but the land left by the ancestors is still there. He actually relied on the power of the county magistrate Snatching other people's land is simply unlawful. Besides, people from Tianli Sect had contacted Geng Xianghua and wanted to recruit him into the religion. This is a fact. As for whether he has joined the religion, God knows, even if he did, he would not admit it. "

"Exactly." The governor nodded.

"So, in order to protect the peace of your lord, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. This is the way of the thunderbolt to show the heart of the Bodhisattva. Otherwise, if the Tianli religion is allowed to wreak havoc and incite civil unrest, it will be ordinary people who will suffer." Chen Antai is upright Awe-inspiring, with an air of loyalty.

"Yes, such profiteers who oppress the people and collude with the bandits must not be tolerated." The governor believes that he is a good comrade who maintains the stability of the country and the people.

Ting Shuang went to pick up Baoqi at the gate of the governor's yamen. Seeing that his expression was extremely bad, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

Baoqi forced a smile: "Whoever dares to be angry with me, I rely on the shadow of my ancestors to enjoy the glory and wealth. I have not made any achievements, and I should not be convinced."

Ting Shuang understood that he was angry, and thought of him as a proud noble son, not to mention working hard with her in starting a business, but also being angry with others, her heart ached, but she had no words to comfort her, so she held his hand, and the two of them Go back to the inn and wait for news.

Yu Da personally went to the governor's yamen to talk about this matter. The governor was surprised how this case affected so many senior officials. Yu Da did not rely on his ancestors to get his seat, but was promoted to an official by ten years of hard work and hard work. The governor still respects it. Expressed his views.

Yu Da had no choice but to find Ting Shuang and tell him the current situation: "The Huang family sued you for robbing the land. For this, you need to have a recognizance that the land has been abandoned for more than ten years as you said. This one It's nothing. According to the law of my dynasty, abandoning the land will be punished. Therefore, although you don't take it seriously, the plaintiff doesn't take it seriously. He doesn't dare to file a lawsuit. The most important thing now is for people from the Tianli Sect to contact Geng Xianghua However, if Geng is just an unemployed villain, that’s all right, if you rely on Tianlijiao, you may be regarded as a conspiracy.”

By now, Ting Shuang has understood the point of this matter. Tianli Sect is an anti-government force. In ancient times, it was an anti-party that ransacked families and wiped out families. In modern times, it is equivalent to organizations such as Wheel Gong, which are targets of severe crackdowns.If his case has anything to do with Tianli Sect, it would be a big deal, and his house would be ransacked.If it doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter, and that's what it means to be big or small.

Those who want to bring him down must rely on the Tianli Sect's anti-party. If they can clean up their relationship with the anti-party, this matter can be reduced to a small one.This is not a society ruled by law, but a society ruled by man. Is it necessary to say something about the people in power on the Tianli religion?

Baoqi asked Yu Da: "Your mentor doesn't know about this, does he?"

Yu Da immediately "understood the spirit" and immediately revised the book and went to Beijing.

Ting Shuang came up with an idea and went to Queshan to find Geng Xianghua to prove that he had nothing to do with Tianli Sect, and thus cleared himself.Bao Qi thinks it is right, coupled with the power of Ruan Ying in the court, they work together to settle the matter.

The two set off again to Queshan to look for Geng Xianghua. If there were no bad things like the broken axle of the car in rainy and snowy weather, it would be very pleasant to travel in ancient times.For example, now, the weather is neither hot nor cold, the spring breeze is blowing, and the roadside scenery is pleasant. It is very pleasant and knowledgeable to see the scenery, visit the historical sites, eat local snacks and chat with the local people.

It's a pity that Ting Shuang is not in the mood to enjoy this kind of happiness, nor is he in the mood to plagiarize poems, and thinks of his past life. In his previous life, he was an orphan without parents, with nothing, and his performance was mediocre. To others, he was like an existence of air.After coming to ancient times, he is no longer an air in the eyes of people. His parents regard him as a pillar, his younger brothers regard him as a backbone, and the villagers regard him as a capable person who can make up their minds. They trust him and admire him, and they want their children to recognize him. When a godfather expects benefits and protection, he is respected but also calculated and excluded. As his career develops, such things will only increase.

Bao Qi looked at him from the side, as if she knew what he was thinking, and said, "You being calculated by others means that you are worthy of being calculated by others. You are not afraid of being calculated by others, but what you are afraid of is that you don't even need to be calculated by others."

Ting Shuang smiled bitterly and said nothing. In his previous life, he had nothing, no mind, no use value, and he grew up safely as a fool. He was regarded as air, and he didn't even bother to calculate. In this life, he is not air but cannot be ignored. There are more and more people plotting against him, should this situation be sad?Should we still be proud?
