A carriage entered Dawangzhuang, and the supervisory censor paid off and got off the carriage, walking on foot, and began to look around.
Before coming here, he was thinking about what kind of geomantic treasure land could cultivate such great talents.
As a result, Dawangzhuang's location is average.
But the people are quite different. They are all neatly dressed, thickly dressed, their hands and faces are washed very clean, and there is some flesh on their faces. Unlike the people in other places, all of them have yellow faces and muscles, as if they are about to starve to death.
New houses are being built everywhere in the village, and the working people are in high spirits.
From a new house, the sound of children reading could be heard, and there were teenagers dancing with knives and guns.
There are even working men who are writing by scratching their fingers while walking.
The whole village is full of vitality, just like the paradise of kings mentioned by the sages.
Pay Qing was so excited to see it that he walked towards the villagers on the roadside from time to time, wanting to find out more information.
But before he could get close, the villagers walked away without giving him a chance to talk.
I was depressed for a while, and after taking a few steps, I was stopped by Dahu!
After indicating his intention to come, Dahu left to inform him, paid off and continued walking around the village.
As he walked, he looked at an old man in a robe, his eyes lit up and he clasped his fists: "My friend, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. My lord, I was born late, and I gave birth to a commoner later!"
Wang Bizhong, who wanted to leave, quickly clasped his fists and bowed in return.
Scholars can only call each other friends if they have achieved similar academic achievements.
This seventh-grade official was either a Jinshi or a Juren, far superior to him in a white body.
You actually called him a friend. Could it be that you saw that he was full of knowledge!
"As long as we, the scholars, understand the words of the sages, we can educate the common people!"
Fu Qing sighed: "As for fame and wealth, it is actually determined by destiny."
"Uh huh huh!"
Wang Bizhong is convinced!
He always believed that his repeated failures were due to cheating in the examination room and not because he was not talented enough!
Now this old man had something hidden in his words that made him feel like he had met a confidant.
I wish I could drag this man home, let his wife kill an old hen, and have sex with him!
"I'm here to visit Mr. Mingtan. I don't know what the relationship is between my friend and him. Can I tell you some interesting stories about Mr. Mingtan's past?"
Pay up and smile.
Mr. Mingtan was very repulsive to him and did not give him a chance to get close to him in private!
Must find out his preferences in order to get closer to persuasion!
"Mr. Mingtan!"
Wang Bizhong was secretly frightened.
When a scholar calls him Mr. Ren, it means lowering his stature or practicing the courtesy of a disciple.
First there is a county magistrate, then there is a supervisory censor, and the number one scholar is coming to teach!
That kid is out there, how much trouble can he cause to make these people behave like this.
Seeing Wang Bizhong in a daze, Fu Qing frowned and reminded: "Friend?"
"Oh, Mingtan, he is my nephew. He has been very smart since he was a child, he has been righteous, has a heart for the world, and has a bodhisattva heart. He has not seen the suffering of the poor since he was a child. When he grew up, he read poetry and books and determined to practice
Follow the words of the sage..."
Wang Bizhong stroked his goat's beard, gritted his teeth and blew Wang Yuan hard!
Now he and his son receive twelve taels of silver from Wang Yuan every month!
Although I thought from the bottom of my heart that Wang Yuan was not as knowledgeable as him, he was short-handed in taking advantage of others.
"Ahem!"
Fu Qing interrupted: "Friend, there is no doubt about Mr. Mingtan's character! But I want to know more about Mr. Mingtan's likes and dislikes."
"Well... Mingtan hates bullying others and hates kneeling before officials."
When he saw that no one was around, Wang Bizhong whispered: "As for his preferences, he likes to give people money, and he also likes beauties!"
"Well!"
Fu Qing was surprised and said, "How come Mr. Mingtan doesn't look like a philanderer to me?"
Well, those who are perverts generally look depressed, their eyes are cloudy, and they look listless.
Last time I saw Wang Yuan at the county government office, he was full of energy and energy, and he was definitely not greedy for sex or sex.
"Friend, you are wrong about this!"
Wang Bizhong said with an insightful tone: "If you are not greedy for sex, he would risk beheading three years ago and take the daughter of Mr. Li from the county seat."
Pay off and be stunned.
Three years ago, Li Buyi was in the same situation. Anyone who dared to marry his daughter would be extremely bold.
"Two months ago, he took a young man from our village to Goulan and stayed there for three days before coming back. For three days, the two ferocious tigers came back and their legs were weak!"
Holding out three fingers, Wang Bizhong said with an envious look on his face: "Not long ago, two very beautiful women came from the county town to look for him. When he came back from the county town, he also brought back two beautiful women. This
Not counting his cousin in the county, plus his wife, you can count how many women there are. If you are not greedy for sex, why are there so many women around him?"
"Going to Goulan, there are tons of women around me. It seems that I was wrong!"
Fu Qing's eyes lit up and he was about to clasp his fists, but Wang Bizhong smiled and left.
When he looked up, he saw Wang Yuan coming with Dahu and more than ten young men.
Fu Qing quickly clasped his fists and bowed his head: "Fu Qing has met Mr. Mingtan. I came here uninvited and asked him to forgive me. I really have something important to tell you."
Wang Yuan waved his hand: "Let's talk!"
Fu Qing's expression darkened: "Ma Qian hanged himself in the county jail last night!"
Last night, he went to visit his old friend Ma Qian and brought wine and food along the way!
As a result, his former friends begged him on their knees and wanted to know why he helped Wang Yuan.
He found out a little bit and learned in the morning that his old friend hanged himself and died, and he didn't want to hurt his family.
Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "You came to me just to talk about this?"
Ma Qian is an enemy, and he has no mercy at all for the death of an enemy.
Fu Qing said sarcastically: "He left a blood seal before he died, begging sir not to anger his family!"
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "He thinks too much. I don't have that much energy to deal with his family! Even if I did, it wouldn't harm my family!"
"Thank you sir for your mercy!"
Pay Qing changed the subject: "I wonder if sir, could you lend me a moment to speak?"
"No borrowing!"
Wang Yuan said with a straight face: "If you have anything to say, just say it here!"
"..."
After paying off, I was speechless for a while.
I want to bribe you for Huangren. If I say it in front of everyone, isn't that asking for death?
"correct!"
Wang Yuan asked: "You who are supervisors and censors usually travel around Daye!"
Fu Qing quickly replied: "In the past three years, Xiaguan has been working as a supervisory censor. He has been to nine of the ten states of Daye, but only Haizhou has not been there! Whatever you want to ask, sir, Xiaguan will tell you everything!"
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever heard of quartz?"
"quartz?"
Fu Qing thought for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know what the Lord is talking about!"
"Since it's not there, forget it and go back."
Wang Yuan frowned and waved his hands, somewhat puzzled.
The geographical environment of Daye is similar to that of the previous life, and the animals and plants are the same. There is no reason for the exception of minerals.
In previous lives, there were quartz mines in many places. It is impossible that there were not mines here, but no one has heard of them.
"Sir, although I have never heard of it, I have traveled all over the country!"
Fu Qing caught up with him and said with a smile: "Please tell me in detail what the quartz looks like. I can also help you find out when my official goes to other places!"
"……OK!"
Wang Yuan thought the same thing: "Dahu, go get a handful of quartz!"
Dahu ran back and grabbed a handful of quartz.
Twisting a piece of quartz, Fu Qing couldn't help but smile: "Sir, isn't this jade? Why do you call it quartz?"
Wang Yuan's eyes lit up: "The names vary from place to place. Do you know where there is a water jade mine?"
Fu Qing chuckled: "There are at least dozens of jade mines across the country. The one closest to you is in Longnan County and Qianhe Ridge in He County. But jade is worthless and useless, so why did you become interested in it!"
"Longnan County, He County!"
This county is more than a hundred miles away. Wang Yuan's eyes lit up and he clasped his fists: "It's just a whim. Thank you for the news. I have something else to do, so you can do it yourself!"
"Well!"
After asking for information, he ignored everyone. Fu Qing was speechless and quickly chased after him: "Sir, are you interested in water jade and want to go to He County to get water jade? I tell you, you must not go!
"
Wang Yuan paused: "Why!"
Fu Qing lowered his voice and said: "There are rebels in He County, and the entire county has been taken over by them!"
Wang Yuan was surprised: "What?"
"A while ago, King Tu Nan attacked the border, and the magistrate of Hexian County took the opportunity to levy a wave of taxes!"
Fu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "People can't pay taxes, and many people have lost their families."
Wang Yuan frowned!
Daye's levies and miscellaneous taxes are extremely heavy to begin with, and the autumn taxes were collected just two months ago.
After winter, you still have to pay spring taxes. If He County adds a wave of taxes in winter, isn't it driving the people to death?
Rebellions over tax increases are common in Dayi, and there are several in various places every year.
But few have achieved great success!
Fu Qing said in a low voice: "The biggest thieves in He County, the Green Faced Wolf, took the opportunity to start a rebellion and killed the officials. They led the mob into the city and killed the county magistrate. When I came to Fu County, I always bypassed He County, and I took two more detours."
Hundreds of miles!”
"Thank you for telling me another piece of news!"
Wang Yuan nodded and turned around: "Dahu, go get him a thousand taels of silver as his information fee!"
"Well!"
After a while, he paid off and took a thousand taels of silver, standing there dumbfounded.
The information fee is only one thousand taels of silver in two sentences, which is so profitable!
Mr. Mingtan didn't even give him a chance to speak, and he didn't even have a chance to bribe him!
It seems that we can only start from his 'shortcomings' and ask Mr. Bai Ying to come forward in person.
…
After saying goodbye and paying off, Wang Yuan came to Dahu's new house and found the red leaves!
"You, what are you going to do?"
Looking at Wang Yuan, who is striding like a meteor, the red leaves are stumbling, his pretty face is blushing and he is retreating!
In the past few days, I have been being called by that girl Qinghe and my second cousin.
She was embarrassed to see Wang Yuan!
"Why are you nervous?"
Wang Yuan said in shock: "I came here to ask you about someone!"
"who?"
Hongye looked wary!
Wang Yuan said: "Have you ever heard of the green-faced wolf in He County!"
"Yes, I have!"
Hongye's eyes lit up: "My brother has seen him and said that he is about the same age as us. But he is very capable. He has more than a thousand brothers under his command. He is the biggest green forest hero in He County."
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said: "He rebelled and captured the entire He County!"
"What, great!"
Hongye's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "These corrupt officials exploit the people all day long and force them to the point where they can't live any longer. What a great counterattack!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Yuan's expression changed. When he saw no one was outside the door, he closed the door and said, "Keep your voice down!"
"Little thief, why are you so cowardly? I'm not asking you to rebel!"
Seeing Wang Yuan's stern face, Hongye lowered his voice: "My brother has said before that the green-faced wolf has great ambitions and will get up and do great things sooner or later! I even suspect that my brother secretly bought armor and learned from him! It's really not true.
To think that he moved so quickly and actually captured a county!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Yuan said with a straight face: "How about we make a deal!"
