The blank eyebrows were frowned, and his hands clasped together: "Donor Qin, you have asked for the Li Family Patriarch, why do you make it so stiff? The Li Patriarch believes in the Lord of the Buddha, so what's the problem?"
Qin Meng sneered: "Master Kong, have you ever heard the story of Zhuangzi borrowing grain? The sage is embarrassed, so he asks for help to supervise Hehou. What's the use of a hundred dollars? The people of Wuwei lack food, and the Patriarch of the Li family behaves like this. How is it different from the perfunctory saints of Jianhehou?"
Leak Kong's face was immediately embarrassed, and he took a closer look at Qin Meng.
Qin Meng's eyebrows are full of evil spirits, and he utters his words into a chapter. One sentence will block you tightly, and the end is extremely difficult.
"Master Likong, you don't have to be embarrassed. The old man is here with General Qin. It is just a handful of old bones that are about to die. The world still looks at the old man. It is not worth mentioning if General Qin is so young.
From the gate of the side hall, Li Ying supported an old man with a cane, his face covered with age spots, and he trembled as if a gust of wind could blow him down. Came out.
Guan Xiang followed, probably considering Qin Meng's feelings. Guan Xiang was a distance from Li Ying and the old man. However, it can be seen that Guan Xiang followed the same steps and was in awe of the old man.
"Old Li Mian, I've seen General Qin." The old man trembled, gave Li Ying the walking stick, and was about to bow down.
At this time, Qin Meng was like eating a fly. The old fellow Li Mian sneered, but it was the etiquette of seeing officials by the people.
This age. But he is not afraid of touching porcelain. The key is that Qin Meng helped Li Mian, which means that he respects the elderly and loses a piece first in terms of momentum.
If you don't support it, it's not the case for a dying old man to bow down.
In a flash, Qin Meng stepped forward, grabbed the walking stick in Li Ying's hand, stuffed the walking stick into Li Mian's hand, and then pulled Li Ying in front of Li Mian, so that Li Mian even wanted to kneel down. Can't kneel down.
"Lao Zhang, since ancient times, elders have been exempted from courtesy when they see the emperor, let alone a certain generation of county guards? Lao Zhang's courtesy, does it mean that Qin Mouhu is going to be shameful?"
After Qin Meng stopped Li Mian, he immediately hid away. This is due to the fact that later generations have heard too many cases of touching porcelain. There is such a contact in the middle. With such a dialogue, if you kneel down again, the taste will not be good. It's the same.
Li Mian is so mature, and when he sees Qin Meng like this, he knows that it is impossible for him to see Qin Meng with his old age.
"Hehe, General Qin also knows to respect the old? It's rare. The old man has a bedroom of his own in this temple, so I ask General Qin to come over for a cup of tea. Surely General Qin will give this face, right?"
It was hard for Qin Meng to imagine that such an old man could speak so yin and yang strangely, even if he asked for tea, he would have such a difficult taste.
It seems that no matter what era, people are bad, regardless of age.
"Lao Zhang, drinking tea will be exempted. The official came here to let the old man help the people of Wuwei and borrow some food. After this period of time, the official will speak to the Ming court, regardless of the form of tax reduction or exemption. In other forms, it will be doubled to compensate."
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Li Mian's mouth: "General Qin has opened this golden mouth. If the old man does not give face, he really does not put his parents in his eyes. Well, my Li family has taken root in Wuwei, since You can’t ignore Wuwei’s difficulties. General Qin, the old representative of the Li family, donated three thousand catties of grain, how about?"
Qin Meng has always respected the elderly, and even if the elderly were somewhat inauthentic, they would forbear them and pass.
However, Li Mian changed Qin Meng's view of the old man, and the old guy was broken, and there was no principled bottom line!
I asked you to borrow food, not for personal reasons, but for the whole Wuwei people! You take out a mere three thousand catties, which is not enough for a day!
To put it awkwardly, this is equivalent to sending a beggar.
Qin Menghuan looked around. The ridicule at the corner of Li Mian's mouth became more intense, and he clearly expressed one meaning, that is, if you are an official or not, you can borrow money, and you will give you face, but your face is worth three thousand jin.
Li Ying beside Li Mian had the same smile, and Qin Meng could understand the meaning. Are you crazy? Isn't it possible to pick up official clothes? But what can you do to an old man who has donated food
The officials around him, as well as the monks, didn't have the ridicule of Li Mian and Li Ying, but between their eyebrows, they all looked at Qin Meng's face-saving expression.
"Lao Zhang, it is really commendable to be able to donate three thousand catties of food when Wuwei is in danger. This official must go to the court and praise the Li family." Qin Meng said solemnly.
Li Mian's color is even stronger; "Where and where, Li's family is favored by the court. It is right to be loved by the villagers and fathers, and donated some of their hearts."
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Qin Meng's mouth: "Lao Zhang, every bit of donation is also love, and this official should be commended. But donation is a donation, and borrowing grain is borrowing grain. This official, on behalf of all the Wuwei people, asks Mr. Zhang to borrow one hundred thousand. Catching food, let's get over the difficulties for a while!"
With that said, Qin Meng unexpectedly knelt to the ground, looking at Li Mian with incomparably sincere eyes.
Everyone is dumbfounded, you know, in ancient times, it was most important to respect and order.
Even father and son. If the son is an official, he will kneel in public if he does not have a father with a high official position.
Now, regardless of Qin Mengduo's young age, he is, after all, the official parent of Wuwei County.
The parent officer knelt down to Bai Shen, which felt even more unacceptable than Li Mian kneeling to the young man Qin Meng as an old man.
Li Mian was an old man who had lived for seven or eighty years, and he immediately realized that Qin Meng had kidnapped the morality he had just now, and had returned intact.
If this was frankly received by Qin Meng and passed it out, wouldn't it be said that the Li family didn't understand any rules? The grade of the Li family was about to drop one mark immediately.
"Quickly, help General Qin up quickly." Li Mian quickly instructed Li Ying and Li Tong to help Qin Meng up.
Qin Meng's kneeling was not in vain, nor was it disgusting Li Mian that embarrassed him. This kneeling is for something!
Before Li Ying and Li Tong came closer, Qin Meng stood up all at once.
"The old man is really good. I agreed so easily. The official knew that the Li family was a famous family in Wushu, but there are measures that will not let the official down. This courage, how can an ordinary rich man with a smell of copper, be able to Comparable?"
Li Mian was horrified, stuttering a little: "General Qin. Old man, how old did you... ever promise you to come?"
Qin Meng shook his head and said, "The officer kneeled down and begged to borrow food because of the difficulties of the people in Wuwei. The old man sent someone to help me up. Didn't he agree to borrow the food?"
"General Qin, old man, old man doesn't mean that." Li Mian was anxious. Rao is an old man, and being so disturbed by Qin Meng is also out of control.
One hundred thousand catties of grain, that's one hundred thousand catties!
Qin Meng said with incomparable emotion, admiration, and a little guilty expression: "Lao Zhang, you didn't mean that? In other words, you don't lend the Wuwei people 100,000 catties of grain, but donate it? No need. No, it’s good to borrow from the good."
Li Mian almost fainted, when he realized that he was underestimating this young adult.
Quick thinking, easy access, a few words, blocked at both ends, so you can't speak in your own rhythm at all.
Li Mian wondered, now that he can't make a face, he has to put aside the borrowing of grain.
Who knows, Qin Meng would not give her a chance at all.
Qin Meng shouted: "My colleagues in Wuwei County, please step forward and be obedient."
The official is about to issue orders, who would dare to speak any more? Li Mian opened his mouth wide and moved for a long time, but he didn't dare to jump out a word.
The Wuwei officials hurried forward, bowed their hands and listened to Qin Meng's orders.
Qin Meng paused and said: "This official heard that many of the wealthy in Wuwei are lawless. People of the Great Sui Dynasty. It should have been reported to the household registration according to the facts in order to prepare for the unified dispatch of the court. However, Wuwei is powerful, reliant on his own lintel, and accepts people wantonly , Granting land to extract it. This kind of behavior is nothing more than competing with the state for profit, so why not treason?"
Speaking of this, Qin Meng glanced at Li Mian intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "This officer is a Wuwei chief, so you should severely crack down on such actions. Guan Xiang, this officer will transfer a thousand soldiers to you. It must be within three days. Check out the local tycoons and whether there is anything to accept people privately. If you neglect, the official is more than just picking up the official uniform!"
Guan Xiang waited for a few officials, and immediately understood. What is the matter of thoroughly investigating the tycoons and accepting people in private? To put it nicely, this is to grab a braid to make you obedient. It doesn't sound right, this blackmail is no different.
After the Jin Dynasty, the local tycoons were not as powerful as normal, and the local farmers were unable to cultivate the land even if they did not depend on the local tycoons.
Local tycoons and private individuals, it seems like a country in a country picks up farmer's harvest. Everyone knows it, and it's not a recent phenomenon.
It took only three days to find out, even if it was a thorough investigation with all one's energy, not even three months or two months, or even six months, it was a joke at all!
Isn't it just looking for a cover to talk about things
"What's the problem?" Qin Meng asked with dumbfounded eyes of the officials, but he glanced at Li Ying again.
"The humble job will definitely live up to Master Qin's entrustment, and find out immediately!" Guan Xiang thought about Li Ying's fate, and quickly agreed. Just kidding, this young officer really dared to be a black hand. Don't be unwilling to agree. If you get a stick, you have to do things for others. That's a big loss.
With the leader of Guan Xiang, other people have followed and expressed their opinions, and they will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the chief.
Qin Meng nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to Li Mian: "Lao Zhang, this official believes that in the Li family, there will be no private individuals who will follow the state's tax collection behavior, right?" (End of this chapter)
