General Above I am Below

Chapter 72: Old teacup

Views:

The disaster relief emperor arrived in Jiangbei not long after, and a large number of victims poured into the city.

In order to prevent the imperial officials from visiting Xiushui County on a whim, the magistrate Zhang was in a state of turmoil. Those who complained to the imperial court were beaten, closed, and killed, so as to set an example.

There was no news between Shangjing and Jiangbei. Under the arrangement of someone with a heart, rumors spread in Xiushui County.

The Prince of Nanping County is a slacker, greedy, lustful, and vicious-hearted royal. The rumors of Xiaomin's life and death are spreading more and more, and there are many stories with noses and eyes in the middle. The people are frightened, and they all inquire about the arrival time of the censor. Hide, don't let the lecherous prince see.

Xia Yujin and his party put aside their minds for play and rushed to Xiushui County.

However, the industry was in recession, most of the shops were closed, and there were many people at the entrance of the grain shop, arguing to buy grain. The shop owner, however, had red eyes and kept shouting loudly: The traffic is cut off, there is no grain delivery from outside, and the stock is insufficient. Today, only three buckets of grain are sold, and there is no higher price.

Rough rice noodles sell for unbelievably high prices.

Even Xia Yujin, who didn't care about prices, was shocked: Jiangbei people are so rich

Ye Zhao said lightly: Selling houses and land, selling sons and daughters, naturally you have money, and you buy life, not rice.

Xia Yujin: The house and land are gone, what should I do after the disaster

Ye Zhaodao: Can live a day is a day, can live a moment is a moment, how can you take care of so much

Xia Yujin was amazed.

Qiuhua couldn't help but interrupted and said, "It's okay, now I still have bark and grass roots to eat, and I can buy some food and other disaster relief after selling my house. Today's saints are benevolent and caring for the people, which is much stronger than the famine in my hometown. At that time, there was a flood first, followed by a severe drought for two years. The bark and roots were all eaten up, so I had to eat people. My neighbor's sister was sold to the butcher to eat. Our sisters were young, and my father had martial arts skills. He went to a big family, grabbed some food, and took us to flee the famine. My mother was in poor health, and on the eve of departure, in order to save some food for everyone, she committed suicide.

Qiushui sighed: At that time, I didn’t know where to flee from the famine, and my father didn’t know how to work. Unable to survive, he had to go up the mountain to be a robber, and live with his head in his hands. It was a precarious situation. Fortunately, he encountered the invasion of Manjin, and the general was incorporated, and he was able to find a way to survive on the battlefield.

Emperor Xianzong liked luxury, listened to villains, was suspicious of nature, killed loyal ministers indiscriminately, favored concubines, ignored the government, and many local people were not living well, leaving a mess. Today, he has great ambitions, and he was born with a benevolent heart. He was heartbroken by the chaos of the imperial court. Due to his filial piety, he couldn't say anything to his father. After he took office, he put Concubine Lu, who was in power, under house arrest, set up a trap to punish traitors, and then rewarded farming, reduced taxes, increased income and reduced expenditure, and appeased the refugees. However, the mess left by the late emperor was too big. He was exploited by the savage gold and invaded in a big way. At this time, he discovered that the powerful generals in the court were dead dead, old and old, tender and tender, and others. A group of unreliable guys who came up from the horse and drilled the camp, there was not much left, and the rookie had not had time to be selected. When the old general Ye who was guarding the border died, he almost destroyed the country.

Finally, a once-in-a-hundred-year military genius was born, and the editorial pressure was enormous.

Therefore, it is understandable that weasels want to scratch the wall every day.

Xia Yujin mourned for half a column of incense for her uncle.

While waiting, Master Zhang came hurriedly on horseback, with a bright smile on his face, just like the spring breeze in March. He ran to the vicinity, he slowed his pace, and said embarrassedly: "My father is busy with disaster relief and can't come to receive him. please forgive.

Xia Yujin's evaluation of Magistrate Zhang went up a few steps in her heart: Disaster relief is a good thing, and the victims on the road are indeed pitiful. Anyway, the food prices are soaring now, and you can make a lot of profit by casually selling them. Why don't I also give up some rice grains, make some thin porridge, and give away one or two

Master Zhang felt more and more that Young Master Yu didn't understand the world and was cute and naive. He smiled and replied: Doing good and accumulating virtue is also a good thing. If you want to do it, I will arrange a porridge shed for you, just don't give too much, so as not to affect the business of the grain shop .

Xia Yujin was puzzled and asked: Isn't the grain store out of grain

Master Zhang said with a smile, there is still food, but the merchants paused for a while, thinking that Young Master Yu was doing business for the first time, and he was kind-hearted, so he changed his mind and said that the food was not enough for everyone to eat, so everyone would think that there are a lot of them in this shop. Food, in case of looting, countless casualties, it is difficult to resist.

It turned out to be so, Xia Yujin was thoughtful, and after a while, he showed a heartless smile and said, I will take two carloads of rice to make porridge and do some kind deeds, so as not to be robbed by the disaster victims

Master Zhang laughed: Don't worry, this is Xiushui County. Even if the victims ate the gall of a bear and a leopard, they would not dare to touch the friends of the county magistrate.

Xia Yujin smiled more and more beautifully: Fortunately, I met you.

Master Zhang smiled more and more tenderly: Fortunately, I met you.

He led Xia Yujin and others to the other courtyard of the Zhangxian magistrate, Jinwu Zangjiao, dispersed the people, and temporarily transported his rice grains to the official treasury for safekeeping. Xia Yujin strolled around this small and beautiful yard for two laps, feeling the perforated window panes, glanced at the rockery outside the yard, picked up an old teacup, glanced at it, and shook her head casually.

Master Zhang knew that his family was extremely wealthy and used to living in the prosperous Beijing. Originally, there were exquisite furnishings and furniture in this yard, but the father hated his son's masculine behavior, and shyly said that this joint should not do anything eye-catching. In the warehouse, there are only some rubbish left. How can I get in the eyes of Young Master Yu? If he is treated as a poor country boy, wouldn’t he be disliked by Young Master Zhang, annoyed and hated, so he sneered and said: Now is a very time, father must share weal and woe with the people, It's not easy to show off, this is a long-term useless courtyard, cleaning is urgent, and the furniture is rudimentary, so don't worry about it.

Xia Yujin put down the teacup in his hand and gave a wink. The servants he brought immediately took out the daily necessities they brought with them. They were exquisite, gauze curtains, gold bowls and silver chopsticks, and turned the simple house into a luxurious mansion. , then smiled and said: When you go out, don't be too picky, my family has been in business for generations, and they are not short of money.

Young Master Zhang was dizzying and envious of the wealth of the giant merchants in Shangjing. Then, seeing him happy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Yes, my father is too clean, never corruption and bribery, resulting in a poor life, and he deserves something for the people." what is hardship

Xia Yujin smiled and said: Yes, your father is a good official. It's getting late. I want to rest in peace and discuss with you tomorrow about cooking porridge.

Master Zhang replied in a row, and reluctantly left.

Ye Zhao saw that he had gone far, and he stepped forward and asked, "What the hell are you doing when you smile like this?"

Xia Yujin raised her eyebrows: How did you know I was making up my mind

Ye Zhao calmly said: Knowing your husband Mo Ruo's wife, I don't know where your whole body is.

Xia Yujin choked and reprimanded: Shameless

You think crooked. Ye Zhao shamelessly stood beside him.

Xia Yujin didn't bother to entangle with her, so she picked up the old teacup on the table again, the Ruyao's cup of rain over the sky, a relic of the former dynasty, worth hundreds of gold, although it is not worth much in our home, it is difficult to get started outside, not for honest officials. Affordable stuff. Then he pointed to the rockery outside the window. The stone seemed to be inconspicuous, but it came from the Western Mountains. It was an extremely elegant plaything in the courtyard of the literati. It is so big and difficult to transport. We have a bigger piece in the county palace, which was left by the previous owner. I heard that when it is transported, it will use the labor of countless people in winter, drag it on the ice, build a bridge when it encounters water, and open a road when it encounters mountains. , I finally arrived in Shangjing, but because the alleys were too narrow to enter, I bought a dozen houses from my neighbors and demolished them all, so the price was more than gold. Even if Xiu Shui and Xishan are closer, the price is not cheap. Why do you say the magistrate in this chapter is so rich and can afford such a good yard

Ye Zhao shrugged and asked half-jokingly: His family is rich

Seriously, Xia Yujin frowned. Now that I think about it, Young Master Zhang's speech and behavior are also a bit strange, and this is not an easy matter.

Ye Zhao said sternly: If corruption and bribery are found, just show your identity and take off the black gauze and send it to Beijing for investigation.

What's the hurry? The magistrate knows to hide his wealth and does a good job of superficial skills. He is also a smart person. He will not leave much evidence. Laozi is dignified by the disaster relief censor. The board, how boring Xia Yujin leaned on the chair, playing with the teacup in his hand, with a savage smile on the corner of his mouth. Since he wanted to play, I would play with him, have fun, and play bigger.

The author has something to say: Oranges are back home.

Update can be resumed~

The computer was disconnected from the Internet, and I finally stole the wireless network from someone else's home before I climbed up and updated it.

My kitten has become a medium cat

Sigh, the shelf life of kittens is really short.

I really don't have time today, I'll show you all after the orange camera is fully charged~

Anti-pumping dividing line
