my lord, please eat

Seeing everyone drinking the porridge one mouthful at a time, Gong Xiaoyong and the three of them also felt a little hungry.But with this little thing, there are thirty people here, and they can eat [-]% of their fill, so the three of them don't plan to join in the fun.But Xing Yihong is really greedy for those fresh lilies.It must be quite good if it is boiled into a sweet soup or stir-fried.

Gong Xiaoyong never misses her own people.While digging, he sneaked into the space secretly.And he has already thought about it, tonight, give Xing Yihong and An Qi a taste of this fresh lily diced meat porridge, lily white fungus soup must also be stewed, as well as cold lily salad, lily fish fillet, etc., he all I want to do it all! ! !

Gong Xiaoyong made these foods simply, but they tasted really good. These people hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time, and it was inevitable that they would not be satisfied after eating.In fact, what they made was indeed not enough to make them full, but eight points was already very good for them, and eating more in this situation would not be good for the body.And those two sacks of rice plan to last a few more days.From their point of view, Gong Xiaoyong's porridge is already very thick today.

Xing Yihong finally left the woods with An Qi and Gong Xiaoyong.But before they left, they asked the man named Datou if he would return to Longyu in a few days, or next year.

Datou's surname is Li. When he was born, his head was bigger than the average newborn child, so his father gave him such a name.Anyway, country people like them don't care if the name sounds good or not, and it's easier to support them with a humble name.

What Li Datou meant was that the land of these people was in the hardest-hit area. Even if the water fell, there was no way to replant things. If the land was not dry, they could not even rebuild their houses.

Xing Yihong nodded.Although he thinks that if the five or six men here go back, they can help when rebuilding.But think about the other old and weak women and children, it would be nice to have a few of them take care of them.So let them wait here for two days.They go to that Zhong Yuanwai and tell them to live here for a year or half a year.

Li Datou could feel that these three people were not ordinary people, but he didn't quite believe Xing Yihong's "tell me".But no matter what, they are also benefactors, and they left rice and meat for them to eat.What's the point of waiting two more days.In fact, they don't want to leave either.Originally, I found this place where not many people would come and go. Although there are trees, there are still many places that can be cultivated. If we build a few temporary sheds, these young men will go to work hard Take the money and buy some seeds to plant.At least life can go on.But who knows, this place also has an owner.

Sitting on the carriage, Gong Xiaoyong sighed: "These people are really pitiful. Those people who are outside the bell are really disgusting. Obviously he doesn't need this place, and he drives people away even if he lives in the woods."

Xing Yihong smiled: "So we have to ask him to give up a piece of land and a few houses to those people. If not, the forest land will be taken back for national use."

Gong Xiaoyong is still in a bad mood: "Also, I heard from those aunts that not all places in Longyu are uninhabitable, and the places that are not flooded are also occupied by rich and powerful households. And Many businessmen took the opportunity to drive up prices, it is really abhorrent! I think it is necessary to punish corrupt officials, but these profiteers and wealthy households with bad intentions should be punished even more. Why didn’t the emperor issue a decree to strictly prohibit price increases in the disaster-stricken areas?”

Xing Yihong put his arms around Gong Xiaoyong, and gently patted his shoulder: "There are some things, both officials and merchants believe in the words 'the emperor is far away from the mountains'. After going down one by one, some things will indeed be covered up. The decree Why don't you have these things in the world? People in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also good and bad. And these are the diseases that the emperor is determined to cure. According to your side, this is called reform, but reform is not easy, and it is not something that can be solved overnight. .First of all, the most important thing is that Brother Huang must take back all military power and put it directly under his control."

Gong Xiaoyong frowned: "It's really complicated. But I probably understand it. In fact, people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervise those officials, but who will supervise the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Also, I don't know if this is the case here, But I heard that in some dynasties, if people sue officials, no matter what the reason is, they have to be punished first.

Xing Yihong was stunned for a moment: "People suing officials and being beaten does not exist in our Daheng. But it is indeed difficult to sue. As for the matter of leapfrogging the appeal, it is indeed not recommended. But if the matter involves a higher-level official, and the matter is true If it is found to be false, the official position will naturally be lost. But you say that, I think there should be a person who is not afraid of officials and does not care about money and power to supervise those officials from time to time. "

Gong Xiaoyong tilted her head to look at him: "Didn't you mean you?"

Xing Yihong smiled and shook his head: "I think the fourth brother is quite suitable."

Gong Xiaoyong curled her lips: "You'd rather find work for others."

Xing Yihong said with a smile: "In fact, the fourth brother is quite talented, but he is too lazy to compete. But he has a shortcoming. According to your side, he likes to inquire about gossip. Don't you think that food, drink, power and status are all A master who is under one person and above ten thousand people, and someone who is not lecherous and has no pursuit, isn't he very suitable for this official position?"

Gong Xiaoyong thought about it for a while, but still gave Xing Yihong a blank look: "Anyway, I just think that you are looking for trouble for the fourth prince. But...you have a reason."

Zhong Yuanwai can be regarded as a first-class big family in Lucheng County.Don't look at it as a county seat, but because it is one of the best tea trading markets in Hengguo, it is very prosperous.So this Zhong Yuanwai is indeed very rich.

But no matter how rich people are, they have to bow their heads in front of power.It never occurred to him that he just wanted to drive away those people who lived in the woodland he newly bought, and he would offend a high-ranking official in the capital.Although he didn't see the high official with his own eyes, maybe the county magistrate told him about it with sweat all over his face, and he could guess that the high official was definitely not a small official.He has always been a person who knows current affairs. Of course, to put it bluntly, he is acting according to the wind.Naturally, he was too lazy to give alms to those poor ghosts, but he hoped that those high officials would give him a look.

So he readily agreed not to evict those refugees, but also to help them set up tents.

But will the prince be satisfied with this?of course not.An Qi followed the county magistrate secretly in the dark, and had seen clearly what the two of them said when they talked, as well as the face of the bell member.After hearing this, Xing Yihong immediately decided to let this guy free up [-] acres of fertile land and a big house.In addition, a document must be established that all the products of the [-] mu of land belong to these refugees, and he is not allowed to take a single grain of rice except for the taxes and grains that should be paid on the land.As for the mansion, he was not allowed to take it back or point fingers until the refugees left.

After the county magistrate heard this, he immediately shrank his neck.He had indeed honestly confessed all the property and real estate that Qian Yuan's family had recorded, but he never expected that the prince could ask for so much.But he's not stupid, if he doesn't help the prince with his affairs, who else can he help?It is true that Zhong Yuanwai is always filial to him, but no matter how filial he is, he will not be promoted!This prince is different.

Xing Yihong really looked down on this county magistrate, but he was not in a hurry to deal with him, and more importantly, he had to solve the livelihood problems of the thirty people first.In fact, he really wanted to take back that piece of forest land, but he heard that he was going to grow tea there, so he temporarily shelved this idea.Even if it is harvested, wouldn't it be better to wait until the tea tree is planted and grows well?Who made that Zhong Baoqin be rich and unkind?Obviously that piece of woodland was unowned two months ago, and the case file said 100 taels, so this is selling such a large piece of mountain land?If there's no tricks in it, hell be damned!

Li Datou and the others were brought to Yuxiang Village by Zhong Baoqin.Susukida, where there are dozens of acres of trees that cannot be planted with tea, happens to be vacant, and now [-] acres of it have been allocated and temporarily lent to these [-] or so people for planting.As for the house, it is a yard not far from the edge of the field.The yard is actually quite big, and it is divided into three floors, front and back, but it has been so old that you can see the original appearance of the green brick house in front of you.An Qi felt quite dissatisfied when he saw it, but Li Datou and others already thought it was very good.Even better than their original home.

Neither Xing Yihong nor Gong Xiaoyong showed up again.First of all, there is no need to accept the thanks of those people, their trip was originally to help the victims of the disaster.Second, I don't want to cause extra problems.Although those corrupt officials and profiteers don't know that the emperor has sent someone to target them, but all such people are not guilty, and those with a little brain will be more vigilant than ordinary people.So less right and wrong is always much better.And these three times, it was that member Zhong wanted to see them repeatedly in the past two days, which made Xing Yihong extremely irritable.In the end, Gong Xiaoyong came up with a bad idea, pretending to be the eldest prince's cousin, the empress dowager's nephew who came here to visit the mountains and rivers, and met Zhong Yuanwai.

Hearing that he was a relative of the emperor, Zhong Baoqin was very excited at first. "Grassman Zhong Baoqin kowtows to your lord!"

Gong Xiaoyong is really not used to someone bowing down, even if the other party is someone she hates, she can't make him feel a little better. "In the past two days, you insisted on seeing me with shamelessness?"

Zhong Baoqin nodded quickly: "It's Cao Min! Cao Min heard that your lord was passing by, so he wanted to offer some small gifts as a token of his affection!" As he spoke, he held up a very delicate brocade box with both hands.

Gong Xiaoyong didn't answer at all, she continued to sit on the chair, raised her head, and squinted her eyes. "You have a heart, let it go."

Hearing that the gift was accepted, Zhong Baoqin was immediately overjoyed: "This box contains the best Xuecui in the Fog made from the tea trees of Caomin's own. It is definitely more delicious than tribute tea."

Gong Xiaoyong didn't understand, but Xing Yihong who was hiding behind knew why Zhong Baoqin said this.Probably he wanted his little princess to help him with some kind words, so that his Xuecui in the mist could become a tribute tea.If he can become the royal merchant of tribute tea at that time, he will be even more valuable.But he thought well, even if Gong Xiaoyong didn't understand these twists and turns, he still knew the principle of finding faults and driving away annoying people. "What? What do you mean, that everyone in the palace is not as good at tea as you are?!"

Maybe Gong Xiaoyong's acting was too realistic, of course, the most likely thing is that Zhong Baoqin has never seen the emperor's relatives in his life, so he was afraid in his heart.He was still thinking about beautiful things, and when he was yelled at suddenly, he was so frightened that his hands trembled. "Grass, grass, grass people definitely don't mean that!!"

Gong Xiaoyong looked impatient: "I don't care what you mean! I came out to play, so I don't have the mood to listen to your nonsense! Get out of here, or you will be punished for your crime!"

After being sprayed by Gong Xiaoyong, although Zhong Baoqin didn't know why the little prince was so angry, he knew that he would be in trouble if he didn't leave.So he nodded and left quickly.

Seeing the haughty appearance of his little princess, Xing Yihong laughed uncontrollably from behind.After they left, there were only the two of them left, so he hurried over to kiss a few. "You are really my baby."

Gong Xiaoyong's excitement is not over yet. "I've never seen a pig run, anyway, I've eaten pork! It's okay to pretend for a while! By the way, you have exposed your identity. Are you afraid that the county magistrate will say something wrong?"

Xing Yihong smiled: "Unless he is not interested in going up to three levels in a row, he can only leak that mouth if he presses his neck with a knife. Don't worry, there are so many people like this. The only benefit of a greedy person is to get what he wants. endure."

Gong Xiaoyong went over to take the brocade box, opened it, and found that there were indeed two tea jars inside, but beside the jars, there were also two jade hairpins.Although he didn't understand these things, but looking at the crystal clear appearance, it must be expensive. "Hehe, it's still sandwiched!"

Xing Yihong also walked over, but he opened one of the cans of tea and sniffed it: "It is indeed good tea. It must not be inferior to those tribute teas. It's just that such a good tea garden and tea master belong to such people All, it’s really a waste of money. Maybe it’s not bad to change the owners and owners of the tea gardens and tea farmers.”

Gong Xiaoyong raised her head, looked at Xing Yihong and said very seriously: "Actually, I think, compared to Li Datou, you are more like a robber."

Xing Yihong smiled even more happily: "It's rich and unkind to rob them?"

Gong Xiaoyong nodded: "So this is called stealing from the rich and helping the poor! It's pretty good!"

Xing Yihong bowed his head and kissed: "Thank you, princess, for your compliment!"
