It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

The servant who followed to deliver the official uniform came back quickly, and assured Wu Daicheng repeatedly that the young master was not injured, but he was very angry.Wu Daicheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not injured, and he was very angry, so he asked another question casually, and the servant immediately started gossip mode, "Those robbers are not locals, they were specially invited here from other places, it is said that their He is a servant of an official in the county, and this official has been greedy for the relief money allocated by the above this year. You must know that if the money is distributed from the capital to other places, if the official is kind, he will not be greedy for the money. There are also many roads from the prefecture to the county, but the four counties are different. It is at the foot of the capital, and no one can stop the money. Moreover, the four counties have suffered a lot of disasters this year, and more money has been distributed. Some people will be jealous of the money."

Wu Daicheng scolded a beast in his heart, even greedy for people's life-saving money, "What does the greed for money have to do with us, how can we attack Jishan?"

"The young master has been going around the village for the past few days, thinking that the young master knows about their greed for money, and I'm afraid it will make them feel uneasy, so why don't you think about..." Get rid of the young master.The boy didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Wu Daicheng nodded. They thought that Lin Jishan had caught the handle, and sent someone to get rid of Lin Jishan, so that they would be at ease, but they didn't want Lin Jishan to have guards around him. He would expose himself instead of harming others.However, it is not easy to deal with this matter if there are witnesses. As long as those officials deny their account, say that the robbers have slandered, and then get rid of the boy who went to talk, and come to a deadly confrontation, they can only stare blankly.But just holding those officials for relief money is enough to kill them.Lin Jishan is in the yamen, and there are yamen servants and servants by his side, so his life will not be in danger. "Tell everyone at home to be careful."

"I'll give you my orders, little one." The servant hastily withdrew and conveyed Madam's intentions.

I thought that those little servants hanging around outside the house were not looking at why Lin Jishan didn't go to the Yamen, but to see if something happened to Lin Jishan.In order not to expose the greed for money and murder the court officials, Wu Daicheng frowned. Although he could not directly help Lin Jishan, he could add fuel to the fire.Calling the young man, laying out the pen and paper, Wu Daicheng wrote a satirical article eloquently, and asked the young man to send it to the capital immediately.

Before the mastermind here had time to think of a countermeasure, the yamen servants in the yamen over there came to invite people. The yamen servants didn't ask questions, but said that the new county magistrate invited all the officials of the four counties together to discuss leading the villagers to get rich way.Both the participants and the host knew in their hearts that this was a Hongmen banquet, and they tried to find various excuses to not go. Some of them said they were sick, and the yamen servants sent to speak up. The county magistrate said, if you are sick , He asked the doctor to come and see, if he really couldn't move, he didn't have to go, if he was pretending, he didn't have to go, and he didn't need to go in the future.It is said that someone in the family has passed away and is going to the funeral. The yamen servant will first express his condolences, and then he will go with him.Before these yamen servants were sent out, they were all ordered by Lin Jishan to understand the big stick and sweet dates. Who would dare to fight against the new county magistrate? , The yamen servants will also put on business, and they will never have the slightest thought.The officials who wanted to shirk had no choice but to accept their fate and go to the yamen, looking at the serious face of Zhuangyuan Lang who was sitting at the top, although he still had some youthfulness, no one dared to underestimate him.

Lin Jishan didn't mention the corruption of relief money at all, but talked about Wu Daicheng's plan to rent a few lands for trial use. Mr. Li sat aside, he didn't understand why Lin Jishan didn't deal with those corrupt officials, but talked about it. Trial field thing.Master Li has been following Lin Jishan for the past few days, and he understands what Lin Jishan is doing to some extent. While he thinks it is impossible, he also thinks that if it is true that vegetables can be grown in winter, then the four counties can definitely get rid of poverty. Yue can surpass several other counties, but these should not be shared with the corrupt officials in front of him.

The few sitting on pins and needles were sweating profusely, and their hearts became more and more uneasy. How could Lin Jishan not know what they did? Even if he couldn't get the evidence that they wanted to kill him, he should know that they were greedy. The matter of relief money, but he didn't mention it, it made them very upset and didn't know what to do.

Lin Jishan looked at the few people coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, just to make them feel uneasy. He has not yet obtained direct evidence, and he also knows that these people who dare to be greedy for money must have a background. How could he take action easily? Although he was angry, he couldn't take action before he was sure. He was afraid that their backstage would cause trouble for him or Wu Daicheng.It's just that Lin Jishan didn't expect that Wu Daicheng had already sent a letter to Beijing, and it was published in the Beijing newspaper the next day, which caused a major cleanup by the court.

The meeting didn't last long, and then Lin Jishan asked everyone to disperse. The officials who left the yamen safely murmured in their hearts. The county magistrate ordered them to go, but he didn't mention corruption. The matter of money, on the contrary, painted a big cake for them, what is the intention?Is it to let them relax their vigilance, or to warn them not to do any more useless work?Or is it that the new county magistrate doesn't actually have any substantive evidence to prove that they were greedy for money?Thinking of the last point, some people straightened their backs. What were they worrying about before? If the new county magistrate finds out, they can put the blame on the grain merchants. At most, they are dereliction of duty.A few people who thought they were smart got together and decided to put the grain merchant in jail tomorrow, saying that he would do it right after the first time.

Master Li flicked his sleeves and left after the others left. He felt that Lin Jishan was no different from those officials.Lin Jishan didn't bother to explain anything to Mr. Li, he was impatient, he couldn't hide things, and he was too pedantic. After telling him, he was afraid that the whole county would know about it in a blink of an eye.To Lin Jishan's surprise, the master did not leave. Lin Jishan raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

The master looked at Lin Jishan, he wanted to rely on Lin Jishan, when he first became an official, he wanted to do something for the people, but after being with a group of corrupt officials for a long time, he couldn't do it clean, but with the money, he felt that It's hot, he has always wanted to know how the new county magistrate is like, if he uses the four counties as a tool to make money like a bunch of corrupt officials, he will just mess around, but if it is different, he wants to rely on Lin Jishan.But now he is not sure whether Lin Jishan is an honest official or a corrupt official. He knows that those people are corrupt. As far as Tian's matter is concerned, if this matter is really done, it will definitely allow the villages that were hit hardest by the previous disaster to have money for the New Year this year.The director is vacillating, wondering if he should take refuge now, or stop observing?But what if it's too late?

Lin Jishan saw that the master hadn't spoken for a long time, so he didn't stay here for a long time. He wanted to go back to see Wu Daichen. Hearing that he had encountered a robber, Wu Daichen would definitely be worried. He had saved him once before. This time, it was considered indirect. He was rescued by him, if not for Wu Daicheng, how could he be lucky enough to be protected by guards.Now Wu Daicheng is still pregnant, so don't let him worry about it.

The director watched Lin Jishan leave, opened his mouth, and finally decided to take another look.It's just that after hearing that their four counties were published in the Beijing News, the head bookkeeper almost slapped his thigh and shouted regret.

Before Lin Jishan could enter the door, he asked the boy guarding the door where his wife was.The servant only said that he was in the kitchen, and Lin Jishan didn't care about the saying that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and rushed over directly.Entering the kitchen, Lin Jishan smelled a scent that he had never smelled before. Wu Daicheng made him a lot of food. There were many times that he had never heard of something, like sweet and sour red fruit that can be fried with eggs, " What is Madam doing?" Lin Jishan didn't want to disturb Wu Daicheng who was cooking, he was afraid of shocking people, so he asked the cook who stood aside and looked at him with a difficult face.

"Master, Madam's dishes..." The cook took another hard look at Wu Daichen, then shook his head desperately at Lin Jishan.Lin Jishan didn't understand why he was shaking his head because it smelled strange.

Wu Daicheng didn't give Lin Jishan much time. His fatty sausages were ready to be served in the pot. Put two servings on the plate, eat the big plate by yourself, and give the cook a taste of the small plate. Wu Daicheng, who wanted to share equally, made a rare unequal distribution. "Would you like to have a taste first?" Lin Jishan grabbed the chopsticks without even thinking about it. The cook looked anxious and yelled, "Master..." He couldn't say anything to stop him, the cook's face was almost distorted .

Lin Jishan looked at the cook in puzzlement, what's wrong with this man?Luckily he didn’t pick it up just now, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground, and Lin Jishan caught it again, and put it into his mouth accurately, chewing and chewing, his eyes widened, and he was full of surprise, “It’s so chewy, It's delicious, what is this?"

"Pig intestines." Wu Daicheng didn't intend to hide it, and took a piece of it himself, um, although it wasn't as good as the one made by the masters in the school before, it was not bad, and then he took two more bites.Lin Jishan was taken aback by Wu Daicheng's words, pig intestines?Can this be eaten?It should be edible!He ate it just now, and it tasted pretty good.

"Ma'am, there is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen, it's better to go out to eat." The boy was worried, thinking about whether the food would be edible, and anxious whether to persuade him, so he could only find a good excuse to invite him out of the kitchen first.

Wu Daicheng nodded after thinking about it, anyway, he has enough food for dinner. "Cut the liver into slices, sprinkle some soy sauce with garlic on top, and serve them together." After explaining, Wu Daicheng walked away regardless of the cooks' reactions. Lin Jishan heard that there were other dishes, and looked inside I looked at it, and stopped looking at it if I didn't look at it, just wait until I can eat it, I hurriedly chased Wu Daichan, and then walked into the house with Wu Daichan half-embraced.

The cook in the kitchen looked at the dishes left for them and the pork liver in the pot. The two of them looked ugly, but they were also hesitant. Looking at the young master and his wife, they must be delicious. He hesitated for a while when he picked up the chopsticks After a while, the two picked up the food almost at the same time, put it in their mouths, and then there was nothing else. "The madam must have seen our face, so she didn't leave us more. If it is usual, the madam will share us equally when she cooks new dishes. After we taste the taste, we will cook next time. This time, I will keep these. Madam must be angry."

"There's so much time to talk, and I can't cut the liver quickly." The other cook didn't want to say any more. He just noticed how his wife cleaned the pig intestines. It didn't look like it was the first time. They used to be very poor, maybe their family has tasted this dish a long time ago, on the contrary, they feel that the intestines are not clean, and no one tried it, so they made a shameful thing today, I just hope Madam don’t remember it, I will not let them watch any dishes I cook in the future.Who doesn't know that in the restaurant owned by the Third Prince, there were two cooks who used to belong to the master's family. They were sent to the restaurant because of their good craftsmanship and quick learning. The reward alone was more than their monthly money.

Wu Daicheng didn't pay attention to the little thoughts of the cooks. He was just asking for food for the meal, and his appetite was particularly good today.Lin Jishan also thought the food was good, but he wasn't greedy. Wu Daicheng ate for one and the other for supplements, so he couldn't follow suit.Wu Daicheng ate satisfactorily, and after wiping his mouth, he asked how the village he went to today was like. He had seen the soil before, and there was too little moisture, so it must have been drought.

"If possible, can you give priority to the villages affected by the disaster this year?" Lin Jishan sighed. He knew that this year was an important experimental site, but looking at the villagers in those severely affected villages, Lin Jishan couldn't bear it.

Wu Daicheng is also a farmer, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to rely on the sky.Sighing, Wu Daicheng was hesitant. In his opinion, the land is absolutely useless, not fertile enough, and it has been exposed to the sun. The soil quality is very bad, and it is really not good for planting. The land should be raised, otherwise next year I'm afraid it's even worse. "The trial field needs workers. If they are willing, they can go there. If the land is not cultivated this year, the harvest next year may not be good."

Lin Jishan didn't know much about farming, but since Wu Daicheng had spoken, he knew he couldn't force it anymore. Wu Daicheng would definitely not be the kind of person who said he couldn't do it when he clearly could. "There are still a few villages left. I'll take people through as soon as possible. Then you can choose a suitable place and rent more. Let's hire more people. The family has enough money!" Lin Jishan didn't manage the house, As a county magistrate himself, he doesn't have much monthly silver, and the money from the family shop is also paid once a year. At this moment, he is a little worried that the money is not enough to spend.

Wu Daicheng suddenly remembered that in his previous life, farmers could get loans from the bank, and he thought he could recommend it to the third prince. "The money is enough, but if you want to support those people, I'm afraid it will make some people lazy."

"If there are foremen, if someone wants to be lazy, let them go back. We are kind, but we can't think we are fools because of this." Lin Jishan thought clearly, although he felt that those who were corrupted by officials People are pitiful, but there is no need to support idlers. He pays wages for hard work, and he will feel that they deserve it. If he feels that he does nothing, he will give money for nothing. Sorry, he is not a money-scattering boy, His family's money did not fall from the sky.

Wu Daicheng nodded. Some people really make people feel pitiful, but there are still some people who make people feel irritating. They feel that he is the most pitiful person in the world. Everyone should sympathize with him, help him, and give him things for nothing. You will feel that giving some money is nothing, but if time goes by, people’s love and sympathy will be exhausted, and they will not care anymore. This kind of person will not feel that he is at fault, but thinks that those who have helped him, The person who stopped helping him later was wrong.Except for parents, no one has the obligation to take care of anyone forever. It is kindness to extend one's hand, and it is one's duty not to extend one's hand.

At night, Lin Jishan didn't sleep very well. The incident of the robbers during the day left some shadows in his heart. Did not get up.

The official who originally wanted to be a grain merchant took people to arrest them early in the morning, wanting to make a statement before Lin Jishan left the city, but Lin Jishan got up earlier than them, and took people away as soon as the city gate opened , unable to prove to his face that it had nothing to do with him, he lost the intention of acting, and went home to rest one after another, but he didn't know that the capital had turned upside down at this time.The emperor slapped the Beijing newspaper heavily on the armrest, looked at the officials in the hall, and said, "Pass this newspaper on to me, everyone will read it, and then tell me what you think." The emperor sneered , dare to do such a thing blatantly under his feet, isn't it more serious in distant places, every year there are disaster-stricken places, and the amount of money allocated is only a lot, but how much can the people affected by the disaster really get? ?This matter must be strictly investigated.

"My Majesty, I feel that the person who wrote this article is a little exaggerated." A certain minister hesitated for a long time before speaking. Qian's hat was put down to the end. Someone in his clan was an official in four counties. He knew that the money greed was true, but he couldn't admit it.

"This king doesn't think it's exaggerated. Brother Huang, I wanted to go to the four counties to visit my brother-in-law when I was bored a few days ago. If there were only two people in the sky, I wouldn't think it was strange, but it was a coincidence that there were seven or eight of them, and my servant stopped them all, and I really found something good." The third prince looked at it with a smile Surrounding the ministers in the court hall, several ministers were stiff, and secretly scolded the third prince for running to the city gate to guard something.The third prince could see all the faces of some people, "I found it interesting, so I explained it to the city guards. From now on, all the messengers sent by the officials of the four counties will be stopped, even if they are my brothers and sisters. So my younger brother saw some interesting letters three or four days ago."

"How interesting, I want to take a look."

Some officials from the four counties never imagined that the letter they sent to the capital would have been stopped long ago, and they were waiting bitterly for advice from various backgrounds.
