Your favorite life

"Liu Quan, take a long trip with me tomorrow." He Shen said to Liu Quan.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Baoding."

Lai Wu was one of Chang Bao's subordinates. Chang Bao trusted Lai Wu very much during his lifetime, and he always gave Lai Wu his family's [-] hectares of official land to manage.

Chang Bao has always been working in Fujian, and has no intention of asking about the business situation.He Shen looked through the records over the years and found that Lai Wu took the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Over the years, the amount of silver that Lai Wu handed in has been decreasing year by year, and he is afraid that he regards the land as his own.

This time in Baoding, let's ask Lai Wu to borrow some silver taels for emergency.Over the years, Lai Wu has been greedy for a lot of silver taels, so it shouldn't be a problem to just borrow some silver taels from him.He Shen thought secretly.

He Shen and Liu Quan traveled all the way, and arrived at Baoding Mansion on the third day.

When he arrived at Lai Wu's house, Lai Wu was very enthusiastic.

Not only did he set up a banquet, but he also talked about some family issues with He Shen, just like relatives who haven't seen each other for many years.

He Shen was also hungry, talking to Lai Wu while eating.It was eaten quickly.

He Shen knew that Lai Wu used to be a subordinate of Ama, and he was more humble to him.After eating, he said kindly: "Housekeeper Lai, when my Ama was still alive, I mentioned you more than once, saying that you are very capable and his right-hand man.

To tell you the truth, since Ama's death, the family business has declined, my brother and Lin and I are living in poverty, and the cost of living for school has become a problem, so I came here this time to borrow some money from you for emergency.

In view of my father's love back then, you gave me 100 taels of silver to help my brother and I tide over the difficulties, and He Shen will keep it in mind. "

He Shen naturally had an account in mind.This Lai Wu used to follow Ama for many years, and he must have embezzled more than that. Now he only asks him for 100 taels of silver, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Lai Wu understood what He Shen meant when he came over, but seeing He Shen's young age, he had other thoughts.

Hearing Heshen asking for money at this time, Lai Wuxin thought: I have been operating in Baoding for many years, so what if I don’t give it to you?

With this kind of mentality, Lai Wugu made it difficult for him: "The weather in Baoding has been bad for the past few years, coupled with various disasters such as floods, there is basically no harvest in the fields. A few years ago, when the emperor made a southern tour, the people's money was used. If you come to pay taxes, you will basically cut off your income, and you can’t even collect the rent. How can there be any money left?

If young master, you come to pick up a tael or two, I, Lai Wu, can help you figure out a way. The whole family's life is a little tighter, and you can almost get it all together.Now you want 100 taels, where can I find it?There is really no way! "

He Shen was furious when he heard the words, but this was not the time to turn his back on Lai Wu, so he suppressed his anger and said very bluntly: "We Ming people don't speak dark words. My land has been yours for so many years. Management, the amount of money handed in every year will be reduced by [-]% to [-]%. I don’t care about it. After all, the family was well-off at that time, and you were Ama’s old subordinate. But since Ama passed away, you handed in even more. It is less than [-]%.

You have followed my father for many years, I think you are older than me, I respect you, these things are in the past, and they have never been pursued.I didn't expect that now that my brother is at the end of his rope, you still have to deny it. "

When Lai Wuyi heard that He Shen had reached this point, he was no longer polite.He said mercilessly: "In the past few years, there have been either droughts or floods. The weather is not perfect, and the people who farm the land are all unscrupulous people. The rent can be delayed as long as it can be delayed. There are various reasons for not paying. Rent, one by one is very cunning.

I'm just a person in charge, so what can I do with them?Otherwise, you can sell the land for money and go to school. I have no choice here, let alone 100 taels of silver, even ten taels. "

Although He Shen is precocious, he is only in his teens after all.As soon as he heard Lai Wu speak like this, he knew the truth and couldn't say it.This Lai Wu is a rascal at all. "In that case, farewell."

He Shen took Liu Quan and turned away.

Rai Wu's smug laughter came from behind him.

Liu Quanqi's face flushed red: "Master, this Lai Wu is too shameful. I'll beat him up to vent your anger."

He Shen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't make troubles. Anyway, the land deed is in my hands. Let's go to the Yamen to sue him."

Liu Quanxin was right, why bother arguing with such villains?

What Heshen didn't expect was that when he handed the certificate to Baoding Mansion, Heshen insisted that it was Heshen making trouble for no reason and threatening Lai Wu.He also said that if He Shen disturbed the village again, he would be beaten with a club if he was light, or arrested if he was serious.

Although He Shen is not an official, he knows some bad habits in the officialdom very well.Knowing that Lai Wu must have bribed Baoding Mansion, if he insisted, it would be like hitting a stone with a pebble.

"Liu Quan, let's go." He Shen knew that there would be no good results if he continued to entangle.So he decided to take Liu Quan away.

Liu Quan secretly gritted his teeth: "Master, can we just let this go?"

He Shen didn't want to forget about it either.But Baoding Mansion and Lai Wu are colluding together, and they have no other way.

Could it be only... Thinking of this, He Shen felt a pain in his heart.

"Liu Quan, let's sell the land." He Shen said in a deep voice.

"Master, this is absolutely impossible." Liu Quan urged quickly.

Selling land is no small matter. If you really do this, the uncle will be scolded.This is why Lai Wuhui has nothing to fear.

He Shen sighed and said, "Second Master is still waiting for us to take the money back. If the land is not sold, Master and Second Master may not be able to go to school."

Liu Quan opened his mouth, but swallowed back what he was going to say.

What is Liu Quan thinking in his heart, why doesn't He Shen know?If you sell the land, you will be treated as a prodigal.

But if the land is not sold, I and He Lin's books will definitely not be able to continue to read. Although relying on these lands, I can still earn some rent to make ends meet, but will I live like this for a lifetime?No, never.He Shen is absolutely unwilling to live such a life with a bleak future, being looked down upon and bullied by others.

Just by selling the land, one can indeed finish reading the book, but does one really have a future after reading the book?If it fails, what will relatives think?

He Shen felt extremely helpless.If, if someone can give him an idea at this time, it would be great.

Thinking of this, He Shen touched the jade pendant in his arms.If that person is there, he should be able to easily solve the problem for himself.

Although he couldn't remember the face of that person in his memory, He Shen felt that that person could help him solve any difficulties.This kind of blind trust has never existed in Ama Changbao.

If it was him, what advice would you give yourself?Will he let himself choose to live an ordinary life?No, that person definitely doesn't want to be uninspiring and willing to be mediocre.

He Shen is not someone who hesitates.Now that he decided to sell the land, he stopped thinking about other things.

When Lai Wu got the news, He Shen had already sold the land and left Baoding with a silver note of 500 taels.

Lai Wu regretted it at this time.The new owner has no intention of letting him manage the land at all, and Lai Wu has no source of greed for ink, so he can only barely make ends meet like everyone else.

However, He Shen has already put Lai Wu behind his mind. From today on, Baoding has nothing to do with him.
