Chapter 208 Staying in Yejia Village(1/2)
"Sir, I will dare to attack them. All the lords of the court won't kill me."
Wei Cheng was sad, but felt relieved.
Military officers beat civil servants and established a country for more than two hundred years, but this has never happened!
If he dares to take action, he will be the subject of thousands of people!
As for whether to fight or not, there are also considerations.
The group of scholars beat him like this and felt embarrassed to find connections to get him.
Sure enough, after a group of people beat him up, they didn't talk about participating in him anymore.
Wang Yuan didn't cause trouble for him, so he took the people back.
Pei Xianzheng, the governor of Longnan, continued to curse: "Baozi, a group of juren without official positions, an eighth-rank Hanlin. It depends on how scaring you. You are from the fifth-rank general!"
"Sir, you don't know that in the great cause, we military officers are just a big deal in the eyes of civil servants! Not to mention the eighth-rank, even the seventh-rank, I dare not fight back!"
Wei Cheng looked bitter: "Sir, that kid is an old Yin Bi. There are so many helpers to help him. Let's forget about this!"
"A bunch of disciples, you warrior are scared, but I don't take it seriously!"
Pei Xianzheng, who also became a Jinshi, hummed lightly: "I am in Longnan County and serve as the imperial guardian. The Ministry of Personnel is ranked first every year. As long as someone in the court speaks, he can be promoted to the third rank."
Wei Cheng was stunned and gritted his teeth: "It's almost like that child named Wang, you will harm your future!"
Assessment of imperial officials, taxation is a major issue.
Dingzhou is located in the border area, with heavy taxes and labor service, and other counties cannot collect them every year!
However, the prefect collects tax methods in various ways and can collect enough taxes for the court every year.
When the term of office expired, the money was settled in the court, and the top third-rank official was definitely a good person.
As a result, He County rebelled, and Wang Yuan took down the green-faced beast, causing them to be demoted.
"So you can swallow this tone, but I can't swallow it!"
Pei Xianzheng snorted coldly: "I want that kid to bleed heavily. Even the money I have to prepare for me for the money I have to go to Beijing to handle!"
Wei Cheng nodded and frowned: "But sir, the group of men followed that boy, the Lu family seemed to support that boy too! If we do something again, they will make trouble again!"
"A group of disciples would not give up their bright future for a businessman who was rejected by the court! As for the Lu family, it was Lu Zhaolin's own decision, and it was definitely not his idea!"
Pei Xianzheng smiled coldly: "If the official expected it is not bad, the group of candidates left on excuses shortly after you ran back! When the Lu family received the news, they would soon recall Lu Zhaolin!"
"It should be!"
Wei Cheng frowned and nodded: "But that kid is not simple either. He is secretly slim. I'm afraid he has a backup plan!"
When they heard the name of the prefect, the disciples became afraid and dared not be arrogant!
If it weren't for Lu Zhaolin's instigation, he might not have dared to come!
Pei Xianzheng smiled disdainfully: "His little trick is difficult to enter the hall of elegance, and it cannot be seen by his official.
This time, I took action against him personally, and I guarantee that even the gods cannot save him!"
...
Outside Longnan County, the official road checkpoint!
Gu Qingfeng from Hanlin Academy clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Mingtan, the student is still mourning for his mother, so it is not convenient to stay outside for more time, so he said goodbye!"
"It is the duty of the Son of Man to be quiet and filial to our parents, and Gu Xian calls us a role model!"
Wang Yuan held his fists and bowed, grabbed the package in Dahu's hand and handed it over: "Some local specialties in the village are not valuable, please don't dislike Mr. Gu!"
Three pounds of white sugar, ten pieces of soap, and one hundred taels of silver in the package!
It is worth nearly three hundred taels of silver!
"…Sir, I dare not give it!"
After taking the package, his hands sank, and he felt as if he had touched the silver ingot while holding the cloth. Gu Qingfeng was happy, his face remained silent, and he got on the carriage and left!
The juren Luo Shicheng also stepped forward and said, "Sir, Zhu Jing is about to be born in October, and the students will no longer stay outside for a long time, so they will say goodbye!"
"This is also a big deal. I have to go back and guard it, so I won't keep you!"
Wang Yuan also grabbed a bag and stuffed it over, saying the same thing!
Scholars are shameless and give them money in public, and none of them will accept it.
They even turn against each other!
Soon, one by one, came to say goodbye, all kinds of things at home!
Wang Yuan said regretful words, and gave him a baggage one by one!
It took less time to go, eleven people left!
Lu Zhaolin frowned: These people are still afraid of Pei Xianzheng and dare not stay with them!
Da da da da da!
At this moment, a fast horse galloped over, a clerk in the green-clothed family dismounted, came to Lu Zhaolin, and knelt down and said, "Master, the master is sick, madam, please go home!"
"My dad is sick!"
Lu Zhaolin frowned: "Shunzi, to be honest, did my father pretend to be sick and deceive me home after hearing this? If you lied to me, don't follow me in the future!"
The servant Shunzi's eyes shivered and lowered his head: "Young master, the master is really sick. The cold I felt three days ago is getting heavier now!"
Lu Zhaolin frowned: "You are talking nonsense. If you have a doctor at home, how can you not even cure a cold?"
The servant Shunzi whispered: "The master is really sick!"
Lu Zhaolin was still waiting for it, and Wang Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Where are people who eat grains and grains, no one will get sick. Go back and take a look. I'm fine!"
"Uncle Yuan, then I'll go back and take a look. If my father is fine, I'll chase him again!"
Thinking of it, Lu Zhaolin bowed his fists, frowned, turned around and left.
Big Tiger, the teenager of the guard team, Yu Tieshan, Black Armor, and the veteran frowned!
These scholars were too brave and were so scared by a prefect.
In fact, the prefect and the others were also afraid, but if they were willing to sacrifice their lives for Wang Yuan, they would dare to do so.
It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. Wang Yuan doesn’t blame these people, and they don’t have much friendship with each other.
The carriage continued to move forward and arrived at a small village in half an evening!
The group entered the village and prepared to find a shelter place to stay and live in firewood.
Twenty carriages were stored, attracting many villagers immediately and they looked around.
When I looked at these villagers, Dahu felt sour and felt a little uncomfortable!
The villagers are similar to those of Dawangzhuang before. They have dark faces and torn clothes. They wear single clothes in cold weather. Many of them are barefoot and frostbite on their hands and feet. They are all small and small, and live in adobe thatched huts.
Wang Yuan waved, and a barefoot man came over timidly, handed over half a coin and said, "Little brother, what's your name!"
Looking at the half-hanging copper coins, the half-grown boy did not dare to take them. When Wang Yuan stuffed the copper coins into his hand, he plopped down and kowtowed, "Young master, the villain's surname is Ye, and his name is Gou Sheng!"
Wang Yuan helped him up and said, "Brother Ye, we are a businessman who passes by. We want to find several yards to make fires and cook, and stay overnight. It is best if these yards are next to each yard, and each yard will be given two staples of money in one night."
"ah!"
Ye Gousheng was startled and said quickly: "Young Master, you have given too much, and someone is willing to pay two hundred cents!"
Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Please give me some trouble. Please give me two jin of money and ask me for help!"
It’s not that I’m reluctant to give too much money, but now the money is just a number for him!
But these poor families, if they give them two taels of silver, they can buy some rice and flour!
Give them ten taels or twenty taels, and they will not be able to fall into their hands!
"Young Master, you are really a Bodhisattva-minded person. I'll help find the yard now!"
Ye Gou Zuo ran away.
The whole village was in full bloom.
Not long after, a group of villagers in ragged clothes came in clusters of young people in long robes.
The young man's robe was washed with white hair and patched, but it was very clean and his hands and face were also white.
Ye Gousheng introduced to Wang Yuan: "Young Master, this is Brother Ye Tian, the patriarch of our Yejia Village. He is a scholar with fame and a big landlord in our village. His family has 500 acres of land, but he is very kind to us and only charges 20% of the rent!"
"Brother Ye Gao Yi!"
Wang Yuan clasped his fists and praised sincerely: "When Wang Yuan is a person from Fuxian, go to the prefecture city to go to business!"
Landlords collect rent from tenants, and those with 70% or 80% of the more they receive, while those with kindness receive 40% or 50% or 50% of the less they receive.
Collecting 20% of the rent is considered a Bodhisattva-like heart in this era!
After all, the landlords also have to pay rent!
"Brother Yuan is too good, but the court has heavy taxes. Even if I charge 20% of the rent, the villagers will not be able to survive."
