Chapter 107 What I Said

"Sir, you should be about to reach Songnan Prefecture when you walk forward!"

This time he went to Songnan Prefecture, Chen Yu only brought He Yinshan alone, and as for Lu Ze and Zhou Yuanze, he was left in Sanshui County by him.

What everyone unexpectedly expected was that Chen Yu recommended Lu Ze and Zhou Yuan as county magistrates and county magistrates in one breath. The key was that such a tingy recommendation was even agreed.

Lu Ze used to be just a captain. After following the county magistrate for more than half a year, he was promoted from captain to the eighth-rank county magistrate. The speed of promotion made countless people look down on him.

Zhou Yuan, the captain who has been following this county magistrate, went from being a captain in the original small-spoiled area to becoming a county lieutenant like Sanshui County. It can definitely be called a grassroots counterattack.

But thinking about it, if someone can even get the jade plaque and sword from the Governor's Office, can this be an ordinary person? There are people above to take care of it and it goes directly to the Governor's Office. With such a tough relationship, others can only stare at me.

In this way, each family wanted to arrange their disciples to the county magistrate. However, when they were time to make a choice, they almost made a decision, let alone arranged their own children, and the county magistrate almost made them die afterwards.

According to the temper of this county magistrate, he would be very proud of his face without large-scale revenge. So no matter how hard they tormented, they would have to bear it, but they still have to be grateful.

Thinking about spending a lot of money during this period, the benefits were all given to those mud legs. I feel distressed!

Finally, the imperial court's order was reached, and the master finally left. All the major forces in Sanshui County almost cried with joy. Only Lu Ze and Zhou Yuan were left, so they were left with them.

But this master said again that he would communicate with Lu Ze frequently and send people back to see him. If he was dissatisfied at all, he would immediately come back to talk to them.

Don't think that he is saying something threatening. Those who know the temper of this county magistrate know that he always speaks and does what he says. This is equivalent to a knife hanging over all of them.

You said you have been transferred away, so you won't let anyone feel at ease. Everyone who came to see him off smiled on the surface, but secretly gritted their teeth.

But they all knew that as long as this master did not fall halfway, his future would be infinitely bright. People would only climb higher and higher, and what could they do was to bear it.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be depressed!"

Taking He Yinshan, the two rushed to Songnan Prefecture. He Yinshan, who followed him all the way, felt that the adult brows were tightening along the way, and he didn't look happy no matter how he looked.

You should know that the imperial court's transfer order was directly promoted from the eighth-rank Sanshui County to the sixth-rank Songnan Prefecture Prefecture. Such a terrible promotion speed directly shocked the chin all over the floor.

Are you still unhappy about getting promoted these days?

"It's nothing, I just sighed a little. I know this is a pit, but I didn't expect that it would be so pit. Songnan Prefecture is a big fire pit!"

Holding the information about Songnan Prefecture in his hand, Chen Yu looked helpless. He thought he had to be on guard against the Dongning Army, but now it seems that he was asking him to deal with not only the Dongning Army, but also the large and small forces of Songnan Prefecture.

Mr. Chen was right. Songnan Prefecture is really not an ordinary person. There is a marquis, two uncles, and one after another, a minister, two governors, and several prefects.

Which of these people is easy to mess with? The family behind these people is even more deeply rooted. It would be fine if the family tradition is good. If the family tradition is a little bit crooked, I don’t know how many people will suffer.

If you think about Mr. Chen's words to him to take charge of his former prefect, you will know what kind of virtue this former prefect was in office. It is estimated that 80% of them would leave everything alone. After so many years, I really don't know what the disaster has become.

Although this official position is good, it is not ordinary hot!

"Don't be shameless for you mud legs. You dare not plant our land, and you will beat me!"

From a distance, the two seemed to hear someone scolding, and then rushed over here. Several people who looked like servants were pursuing violence against a few ragged people until they beat them up and begged for mercy.

"I tell you, you must plant this land, and you must plant it if you don't plant it. It doesn't matter if you really don't want to plant it, but you have to pay it for me with a lot of rent. Do you hear it clearly!"

He glanced at everyone with a cold eyes. His arrogant and domineering look made people like He Yinshan almost draw their swords. However, Chen Yu held him down and shook his head at him.

The fundamental reason is that the problem is not solved. It is just to exert a momentary aura, and the people who are retaliated in the end. So either if you don’t do it, you have to do it once and for all!

However, what shocked Chen Yu even more was that the many people around him just glanced at this side indifferently and then stopped paying attention. Obviously, they had long been accustomed to the scene in front of them, and even numb.

"What's wrong with this old man?" Chen Yu walked forward and whispered beside an older man, "Why are there anyone who forces others to farm?"

"Young Master, you are from outside!" After hearing Chen Yu's question, the old man seemed very humble. After all, Chen Yu's dress of brocade clothes was not something that ordinary people could afford, at least he was the young master of rich people.

"That's the servants of Zhen'anbo family. It's not that everyone is unwilling to plant it. It's because Zhen'anbo family wants 90% of the rent. Moreover, their family collects rent based on the standards of good harvest. If they plant the land, no matter how the harvest is, the rent they should pay must not be missed!"

"In general, if you plant their land, you have to pay it in the end. Even if you have a good harvest, how can you support the remaining little bit?"

"Ninety percent? Their family is crazy!" Ninety percent of the rent may not be able to earn grain in the end. If this is the case, then these tenants will have to rely on begging to make a living the next day.

And no matter what the harvest is, we will collect rents according to the bumper year. This is no longer collecting rents, it is a naked robbery!

"Your Majesty, you have also seen it. If you don't plant it, they will force us to plant it, and you won't let us plant our own land!" Perhaps it was because I haven't talked to people for a long time to vent my depression, so the old man couldn't help but say a few more words.

"If we don't eat in the end, we can only sell land. These lands are actually in their hands. We poor and good-looking people will eventually have to plant their land. This world, alas!"

"Sir, this..." According to rumors, Songnan Prefecture is rich and prosperous, and is also a top-notch place in the Nanhua Region. Why are they not as popular as Sanshui County? What they see and hear is shocking.

In the eyes of these people around, there seems to be no sign of the spirit. It is as if they are alive, just to live, without hope or joy, only endless struggle.

This scene also made Chen Yu feel a little heavy on his shoulders. The bones of Songnan Mansion are not easy to chew.

"Uncle, don't you care about the yamen?"

"Super? What to do? That's the one from Zhen'an. Who dares to do it? Who can do it? It's fine if you don't sue the official. If you sue, you will have to pay compensation in the end. How many families have been destroyed because of this? How could the yamen make the decision to make these hardships?"

"Uncle, don't worry. From today on, the yamen will make decisions for you people, I said!"
