Chapter 52 Confused

"The magistrate of Fuyang County said that everyone must ask the government to borrow money, so that they can make a profit of three points?" Chai Youchen frowned and asked.

Uncle Xie nodded, "That's what the country says. Don't listen to old women. The government is also kind-hearted. There are also many hard-working poor people who have no money to buy green seedlings because of changes in their families. If you borrow this money, you can recover. It's better than asking those rogues who borrow it."

When the eldest uncle heard this, he became even more angry, "You said that he was diligent and had a sudden change... For such a person, let alone the government lend him to him, even if he came to find me, I would not frown, but what happened to the old Sun family?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Chai Youchen interrupted lightly, "But as far as I know, the court did not force the people to borrow money, and the interest rate was two cents, not three cents."

Uncle Xie was stunned and stuttered a little. He gestured a few times in the air, trying to say something, but he drooped down again, and said with some frustration, "It would be great if my second brother was still in Fuyang. He would definitely not be like this."

The atmosphere suddenly solidified.

Xie Jingyi sighed in her heart. Her shock was no less than Chai Youchen.

The officials trusted the princes and the princes very much and followed almost everything. The Qingmiao Law was originally tried to implement by the princes and princes in their local offices. The effect was significant. It indeed brought a lot of income to the court. It also allowed more people to afford to plant land and raise seedlings.

This is a real achievement, and everyone sees it.

At the beginning of the implementation, most people in the court remained on the wait-and-see state.

But I don’t know when there were refugees in many places, and they suddenly seemed to have stabbed a hornet’s nest. The two sides were in opposition and could not be discussed rationally. They all felt that it was the other party’s intentional stumbling, which made the matter of Qingmiao go wrong.

When she and Chai Youchen were able to intervene in, it was already a foregone conclusion.

It would be great if the prince was there, but it would be great if Xie Baolin was there. It’s a pity that there are so many county magistrates like Wang Xie.

In this world, the most uncontrollable thing is human nature.

Chai Youchen and Xie Jingyi looked at each other and comforted her in a strange tone, "Maybe there is something wrong in the middle, and I will know when I go and check it. Uncle and uncle should not talk to the outside first."

Uncle Xie and Uncle nodded hurriedly, "We can save it. Actually, we have heard people from the county town mentioned before, saying that they are two cents of profit, but we dare not say anything or ask anything. The county master always makes sense for him to do things."

"Yes, let's go in and use late meals first, it's almost dark."

Xie Jingyi was a little surprised when she saw Chai Youchen walking inside naturally. She hurriedly followed and asked whispered, "How many days have you been here?"

Chai Youchen said lightly, "Three days."

I spent three days asking about Qingmiao? Isn’t it too wasteful?

As if seeing through Xie Jingyi’s thoughts, Chai Youchen snorted, “Note.”

Xie Jingyi suddenly realized that she almost forgot that Liu Yingying had sued her own father.

The farmer's simple meal was quickly used up.

At the back of the Xie family's old house, there is an old well. When Xie Jingyi was a child, she came here to escape the summer heat. The cousin would take their brothers and sisters to pick mountain grapes, and then put them in the well. It was ice but not sweet and sour. After eating it, she drooled unconsciously and couldn't even bite the tofu.

Xie Jingyi stretched out her head and looked into the well. Under the moonlight, she could clearly see her dark shadow.

"Where is my heart...who has dug up my heart..."

Xie Jingyi laughed out loud, turned her head and saw Chai Youchen standing at the door.

As she said, she let go of her hand that was standing by the well, showed a strange smile to Chai Youchen, then tilted her body and fell into the well.

Before he could scare people, he was shocked by Chai Youchen.

"You grabbed my hand!"

Chai Youchen had a gloomy face, "Do you just want to die like this? Young Master Pei is not dead, are you willing to die?"

Xie Jingyi shook her hand, but couldn't break free, "Just allow you to scare me, don't let me scare you? Young Master Pei is still alive, what does it have to do with me? I can't bear to die. Your scary skills are not as good as me, and you can't afford to lose and still get angry, which is so funny."

"Not to say anything else, the beauty I caught out of the well has more legs than the stone lion at your doorstep! Can you still be afraid of ghosts?"

Chai Youchen snorted and said in a muffled manner, "I have seen you die once with my own eyes, and I don't want to see you the second time."

Xie Jingyi felt sad and said softly, "Let go. How are you doing?"

Chai Youchen let go, "Liu Yingying is not lying. The Li family is obviously a merchant, but it already occupies half of the country in Hangzhou. There are two counties in Hangzhou, and the magistrate of the Li family is the son-in-law. This is the third one who takes office in Fuyang County."

Xie Jingyi was a little shocked. Although the county magistrate is a young official, they are all parents in charge.

"Song Zhizhou is a passerby in Hangzhou. It's almost a good idea and rarely makes things difficult for anyone. Do you still remember the large mansion of Xu Tong's house?"

Xie Jingyi nodded, "It's very big, it's almost the same as your family."

Chai Youchen hunched, "That house was sold and sold by the Li family. Otherwise, the Xu family would have no foundation. How could they wait for a good place to buy such a good house? Xu Tong used a lot of effort to promote the Li family."

"There was no evidence of Liu Cangsi's dereliction of duty, but he found out the judge Xu Tong. So I wanted to come to Fuyang County and start investigating the Li family's son-in-law. After all, he was a newcomer and had not yet taken control. It was the most likely time to make mistakes. Your father worked here for many years, and I knew them last time I came here. I wanted to find evidence."

"Anyway, the Liu family and the Li family must have big problems. However, Liu Cangsi is far more careful and experienced than Xu Tong. I also found out that when Liu Cangsi married the third wife of the Li family, although the Li family was rich, it was far from the level of today."

Xie Jingyi thought to herself, "Tomorrow I will go back to Hangzhou City, and Song Guangxi will hold a peach blossom banquet at the village outside the city. The Liu family will also go there, and I will look for Liu Yingying to find out a few times. She hates the Liu family so much, and she will definitely reveal clues if she has the chance."

Chai Youchen nodded. After a while, he said, "You said, are we wrong?"

Xie Jingyi raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky. "The official family has asked you this question before. How did you answer?"

"That's right, it's those people who are not wise enough. But I think now we are not wise enough."

"No one can do without mistakes. If a person's thoughts are completely correct, then there will be no opposition. I don't know how correct the prince is. I only know that the current Da Chen must be incorrect."

"But I don't have a clear idea of ​​how to change it. Originally, I was just a puppet who obeyed people's orders. If you do it again, you may not be correct, but I believe that there will be fewer mistakes."
