Brother so proud

"What's going on?" He Ze was full of doubts.

What about Lizheng, he only mentioned it a few times when others were talking about the Lin family, and he didn't even meet him to talk about anything offensive.

Seeing that he didn't know anything, He Hong finally felt relieved a little, "We and the three nearby villages are under Shili's control over military service, you know? This time the recruiting mission is over, I sent someone to inquire about it, Four villages, a total of twelve people, with an average of three people in each village, but someone revealed to me that Shili is intending to increase the number of people in our village to six, how can this be possible, alas!"

He Hong sighed heavily.

In this era, the land is vast and sparsely populated. A village has at most [-] households. Those who can serve as soldiers are basically at the end of the road. Life is really difficult. Three people in Hejia Village can bear it, but six people are forcing people. to die.

No wonder He Hong was so anxious.

He Ze pondered for a moment, "Then, is this related to me?"

"I don't know the details about the third grandpa. I just mentioned you to the person who told me the news." That person is the head of Shijia Village. He usually makes a living under Shi Lizheng's nose. This matter is estimated to be close to ten.

After thinking for a while, He Hong said again, "Boy He Ze, it's about the lives of the He family members. It's no wonder that the third grandpa came to you rashly. If Shi Li had announced this matter in public, I'm afraid there will be no change. There is room."

"Don't worry, third grandpa, I still know this truth." He Ze paused, then smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry too much, third grandpa, I will find time to visit Shi Lizheng sometime these two days Right? If there is any misunderstanding, you can explain it clearly."

After passing the news, it said that it was related to him, didn't you just wait for him to come to the door?He and Shi Lizheng have never had any intersection. The only intersection is probably related to Lin Tiangui's family. By the way, the last time Li Shanfeng wanted to talk to Lin Yu about his relationship, he was talking about the relatives of Lizheng's family, not... …

There were thousands of spins in his mind, but in fact it only took a second. Looking at the seven-foot man in front of him, He Hong couldn't help but reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Boy He Ze, you are promising. Make a show, a man can bend and stretch, we are powerless, and sometimes we have to learn to live with our backs."

He Ze didn't make a sound, he knew that He Hong was reminding him right now.

"Okay, it's getting late, and the third grandpa is back, this matter is settled, you can talk to me, so that the stone in my heart will land smoothly."

"Yes, He Ze knows."

Seeing that he didn't show any displeasure, He Hong only thought that he had listened to it, sighed and walked away slowly.

In the same place, He Ze pressed his tongue against the back molars and turned around, his body could not hide the hostility, and it disappeared after a long while

Whatever it is, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

He Ze is the main family in Nashili who went there on the third day.He didn't tell anyone about this, whether it was He's father, Li Shi, or Lin Yu, he came back from town in a bullock cart and went straight to Shijia Village.

Lizheng's home is easy to find in Shijia Village. The yard is not big, but it is very grand with red beams and red pillars. There is even a plaque hanging on the door.

"Stone House".

It is really the first in several villages.

Shi Lizheng's name is Shi Xingwen, as soon as he hears the name, he knows that he has studied. He is in his thirties, he looks much younger than the He family's parents, and his posture is very good, even compared to Zhou County Magistrate. Let more.

He Ze waited for him for half an hour.

"It's He Ze, isn't it? Nephew, don't blame me, I was delayed by something just now." Shi Xingwen came late, sat at the front seat and drank tea, and said in an apologetic tone, "Why did you come to see me?" ah?"

Those who respect people are always respectful. After waiting for a long time, He Ze's patience has almost worn out. "Boy, let's get straight to the point. I heard that Shili is planning to increase the recruitment task of Hejia Village to six people. Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't this matter still undecided?" When the teacup was touched with a tea cover, there was a crisp sound, and Shi Xingwen closed his eyes in enjoyment, "But I do have this idea."

"Is it related to the kid?"

"Hey, how can this be! It's been a few years since there has been such a handsome man as the nephew in the surrounding villages," he asked. Not a hero?Shi Xingwen put down his teacup, and smiled more warmly, "Nephew, I really have no other choice. Compared with the other three villages, Hejia Village has a more prosperous population, so it should share a little more quota."

He Ze remained silent. If he believed this, it would be a ghost, and he didn't want to argue with him, so he pushed forward the gift he had prepared, "I heard that Mrs. Shi is not in good health, this junior specially prepared a gift A ginseng tree, a jar of medicinal wine, I hope it can benefit Madam Shi's body."

These two things add up to nearly ten taels of silver, which is indeed a great gift for this small mountain village.

But Shi Xingwen was not satisfied at all.

Lin Tiangui came to him two days earlier and told him about the miserable situation of the Lin family for a long time.

To be honest, he doesn't care at all about how the Lin family is doing. If his father is still there, he may still have some friendship, but his father is gone.About his nephew last year, he had already discussed with others, but in the end, the Lin family messed up the matter, which made him lose a lot of face. Now he even looks annoyed at the Lin family.

But after Lin Tiangui cried and complained, he gave him ten taels of silver, just to let him send this He family kid in when he was recruiting soldiers, how could anyone have trouble with money?

He cheerfully collected the money and sent the person away. As for whether to do something or not, what can the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Lin family do to him?

But in this way, he also has some understanding of the He family's affairs. In the past half a year, the He family has opened a shop and bought land. They are rich!That's why he came up with a way to let the He family boy send the money honestly without letting anyone catch him.

For the past few days, Shi Xingwen couldn't fall asleep thinking about the white money.

But now... the He family just took such a small amount of things and gave him away? !

If it weren't for this He surname to disrupt the situation, his nephew wouldn't have to die in peace, let him complain for nothing, and he didn't even settle with He surnamed for robbing his nephew and daughter-in-law!Now it's really... not taking him seriously.

Shi Xingwen stared at the ginseng and medicinal wine wrapped in red paper on the table, his mouth twisted with anger.

"What's wrong with the gift the kid brought?" He Ze pretended not to see the blue color on his face.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant.

Shi Xingwen turned his head and stared at him for a long time, before he restrained his emotions, he said: "Since my nephew is straight to the point, why don't we keep secrets, 100 taels."

Shi Xingwen raised his index finger.This is his psychological price.

"Ten taels?"

The waiter in the restaurant was two taels of silver a month, and two taels of silver a year. Two years ago, five taels of silver was enough for their family of four to eat and drink.

100 taels, well, I dare to speak up.

He Ze was about to be laughed out of anger.

"How?" Thinking about the benefits of the Hejia flower shop, Shi Xingwen felt that he didn't want much, let alone—"Nephew, you can think clearly, the other three villages are pressing hard, if there are twelve places I'm afraid they won't agree, even though I'm in charge of this matter, I still have to listen to the opinions of the people below, don't you think?"

"Nephew still needs to think more about his clansmen."

Shi Xingwen laughed heartily, as if he had seen the white and shiny silver beckoning to him.

"No way, the boy's family is destitute and poor. I'm afraid I can't afford so much money."

After all, He Ze didn't give Shi Xingwen a chance to react, he just threw off his robe and stood up, and took the ginseng and medicinal wine away by the way.Shi Xingwen looked at his back with surprise and anger, his eyes almost popped out.

Ever since he took the right position in this circle, no one dared to give him such annoyance.

"Hmph! Shame on your face!"

With a bang, the teacup on the table fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

On the other side, He Ze put the ginseng and medicinal wine on the bullock cart and drove home slowly.He had expected this situation.

Either Shi Xingwen accepted the gift as soon as he was happy, and the two of them could still make friends; or he opened his mouth like a lion and broke up unhappy.

Now it's clearly the second.

Compared with Hejia Village, the other three surrounding villages are less wealthy. In such a wilderness, Shi Xingwen dared to ask him for 100 taels, which shows that there is no shortage of money on weekdays.

And it's probably not a coincidence that he suddenly blackmailed himself.

"drive--"

Thoughts circled and circled, He Ze twitched the cow's stomach, and the big yellow cow mooed twice and finally sped up the speed.

Because he had something on his mind, He Ze resisted not going to Lin Yu.

At night, he sat alone at his desk and meditated.Shi Xingwen will definitely not let it go after refuting Shi Xingwen's face so much today, or tomorrow, he will publicly announce the recruitment task of the four villages.

All the rights in Shijia Village are in Shi Xingwen's hands, and the village head is just a show, and the other two villages will definitely support Shi Xingwen's ideas if they benefit themselves.

Then... He Ze tapped his fingers on the table.

Outside the window, the moon is full like a hook, and the silver light is everywhere.

Early the next morning, He Ze went to He Hong's house.In the afternoon, the recruitment mission really spread, and Shi Xingwen frantically announced that he would send nine people from Hejia Village.

People in Hejia Village were panicked for a while, and there were many discussions.

"Nine people! Is he crazy?" Fortunately, He Ze vented his anger on He Hong beforehand, and He Hong was not too rude, "What you said can really come true? He Ze boy, you have to give Sana Grandpa's exact words, if it doesn't work, this..."

Even if he entered the coffin, he would not be able to explain to his ancestors!

"Third Grandpa, don't worry. I was only eight points sure, but now I'm ten." Nine people, I'm afraid they are crazy, and they have lost their minds.

He Ze raised his eyebrows, and said seriously, "Third Grandpa, there are still some days when geniuses will come to the government to pick up people. During this time, you must appease the clansmen. I will finish this matter as soon as possible. If you do No, I must be one of the nine people, do you think this is feasible?"

He made promises to He Hong again and again, and finally let him relax and devote himself to comforting the villagers.

As for He Ze, he went to Zhou Wenda's residence on time every day to take care of his beloved peony.

three days in a row.
