"There is such a wide ring?" Wang Erzhu muttered a few words and happily took it into his pocket.

No matter how it looks, it looks very good, and it is jade, so it should be worth a little money!

"My fellow villager, can you talk to your house now?"

"Go for a walk."

The four of them followed Wang Erzhu home and walked for about twenty minutes to a wooden house, surrounded by an orchard.

The house is extremely simple, with only one, and the stove is still outside.

There is only a muddy kang and a dirty table in the house.

The five people seemed a little crowded in the room.

Fang Zheng took a few glances and came to a conclusion.

Wang Erzhu is an old bachelor and doesn't even have a family member, otherwise he would have been able to build another room outside.

After all, I am still taking advantage of the orchard.

Wang Erzhu would do something, and when he knew that he had met a rich man, he quickly took out two dirty and broken bowls and scooped two bowls of water from the bucket at the corner of the house.

He put it in front of Emperor Jing and smiled shyly, "Drink, drink water... only two bowls."

Emperor Jing nodded with a smile, but did not move, and so did Guo Tianyang.

This broken bowl is also dirty, it is really difficult to put it in.

Fang Zhengyi and Zhang Biao did not dislike each other, so they took a bowl and drank it clean.

I am indeed thirsty, and I have seen things that are dirtier than this before. The water is as long as it is clean.

Seeing that the other person was not disgusted, Wang Erzhu felt a little happy.

Emperor Jing said, "I came here to see the customs and customs of the county and then do some business in the county. So I want to ask you, what do you think is the situation in Xinzhang County? Is the people's life good?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Wang Erzhu became alert again and looked at Emperor Jing carefully.

The next second he said with a calm face: "You don't have eyes, can't you see yourself? Okay, great! The people have food and drink, and live and work in peace and contentment!"

Guo Tianyang was unhappy: "Hey! How are you talking?"

"Wait a minute" Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and stopped him and said, "I think the people in the city are not in good spirits, not as good as you said."

Wang Erzhu said sarcastically: "Do you have eyes?"

"If you don't believe me, do you have to say it? Are you going to listen to something nice?"

Emperor Jing, who was holding a gun and a stick, was speechless for a moment. Fang Zhengyi pulled him down and whispered: "Master, let me ask, he is wary of us."

"Why is he so sarcastic about his words?"

"If a person is restricted from speaking normally, he can only be sarcastic."

Fang Zheng turned around and walked towards Wang Erzhu and said with a smile: "Don't be angry with fellow villagers. Wouldn't you just ask you some questions? Just say whether the people in Xinzhang live well or not."

Wang Erzhu looked disgusted: "Stop pretending, who is a fellow villager with you? A foreigner, I knew you were sent by the government to collect good words. If you want to hear good words, just make up some lies yourself.

?I want to tell the truth, I am the one who is unlucky!"

"Let's go, hurry up, I'm a small place and can't hold on to you big Buddhas!"

After Wang Erzhu finished speaking, he began to push Fang Zhengyi.

Fang Zhengyi tried hard to compete with him and shouted, "The world is bright and bright, is there such a thing? Send someone to collect good things from the people. Did the magistrate of Xinzhang County ask Sun Sheng, the dog official, to be done by someone?

”

Dog official?!

Wang Erzhu stopped and looked at Fang Zhengyi incredible.

"You... are you really coming to do business from other places?"

Fang Zhengyi said: "Of course, my father and I were traveling from Beijing to this place without doing anything for business. We can't fight for others in Beijing and are suppressed by our peers, so we can only change to a small place. I heard that we are new.

Zhang County’s officials were in Qingming Festival and were also famous in Hengjiang Prefecture, so they came here.”

"But I see what you mean... It seems that's not the case? Brother, just tell me. We came from all the way and lost most of our money in the capital. If we fell here again, then

But there is really no way out."

After hearing what Fang Zhengyi said was a bit miserable, Wang Erzhu slapped his thigh and sighed: "Hey, you have come to the wrong place. If you want to do business, you should go to Pingwan County. I heard that it is the most suitable place to do business. You can make money by selling anything.

”

"What's the problem here?"

Wang Erzhu said: "You don't know, this Xinzhang County is already rotten!"

"On the surface, it looks good everywhere, but in reality? Let me tell you, everything is much more expensive than the outside world, and ordinary people can't interfere in their business if they want to do business!"

"What's going on?" Fang Zhengyi asked hurriedly, "I see that the prices of hawking on the streets are much cheaper than those in Beijing."

Emperor Jing and others pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Wang Erzhu said again: "Listen to them fart! Those businesses are the business of landlords with names in the city. The price he calls is low, but when you go in, you can buy it, if you can buy it according to the price he calls, I will pay attention to it.

You can call it dad!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"If you tell me in detail, there are such strange things that are unheard of? It is said that the new county magistrate in our county is a master from the capital. How could he allow this to happen?"

Wang Erzhu's words had already opened and he kept saying, "Yes, who the hell said it was not?! When this new official took office, the people of Xinzhang were actually very welcome. He did do many practical things. The landlord bullied the people.

He went to attack landlords, and profiteers used inferior products as good ones, and the prices were too high, so he sent someone to crack down on them."

"Even the officials bullied the people, he took action to deal with them. In the first two months of the time... everything was fine, and no one was bullied. The things were sold very cheaply."

"But who knows, two months before the price of the city started soaring, and the price of selling was still cheap, but you can't buy it at all except for privately going to the back door at the original price!"

"Especially, the medicinal herb has been increased several times. Anyone who gets a minor illness will have to spend all his money, and his whole life will be in vain!"

Emperor Jing looked solemn and murmured: "The gold and jade are outside, and the scattered are inside. I didn't expect that it has become so decayed?"

"Ha, not only that. It turns out that all the officials and landlords who bully the people have returned, and they are even more powerful! If anyone dares to say something wrong, then some people will suffer."

"Many people's family backgrounds were good, but this year they suffered minor illnesses and disasters and then they became poor. The land at home was sold to the landlords... and they just worked as long-term workers."

"Everyone guessed that the local wealthy family had already colluded with officials and businessmen. I dare to say that new merchants like you will have to be run out of the money in a month, and I can't survive here at all!"

Land annexation and local gentry monopolize, it seems that the collusion between officials and businessmen has not escaped.

Fang Zheng thought to himself.

Wang Erzhu suddenly stomped his feet suddenly: "The past few years were okay, and life was getting better and better, but now it's not possible. If you continue, you may not be able to eat!"

"Damn it, the dog court is not doing personnel, and has sent such a bastard county magistrate! But, do you think there is a possibility? Is it because our Dajing and the Jin Kingdom have no money in the war, and they are spending differently on our little ones.

What about the people making money?”

Guo Tian's heart-stopping stolen money seemed to be grabbed by someone, and he hurriedly looked at Emperor Jing.
