Chapter 691

Xie Yunjin led his men to build a wooden house next to the ten-acre land, and also sorted out a place beside the wooden house for raising mu.

The four little ones followed their father to build a wooden house, Housekeeper Xiao took people to sort out the soil for raising seedlings, and Lu Jiao took a few girls to prepare food for the workers nearby.

In short, a busy scene at the foot of the mountain.

On the other side of the tea producing fields and salt fields, it is another scene.

Mr. Lin took Prefect Hu around the periphery of the tea producing area, fooling Mr. Hu as he wandered around.

"Don't look at the tea fields and salt fields in Ningzhou. In fact, they are not as good as imagined. You can see that the tea trees planted in this tea field are not growing well, and the quality of the tea is not good, so they are not sold very much. get out."

Master Hu glanced over, and found that the tea trees on the tea mountain were really sparse and in a bad shape.

Lord Hu sighed and nodded: "No wonder you are poor."

On one side, the prefect Lin almost couldn't laugh out loud when he heard Mr. Hu's words. This man is really confused.

But he soon thought of Xie Yunjin's arrival, Mr. Hu is confused, but Xie Yunjin is not confused, Mr. Hu is confused, but he believes in Xie Yunjin's words.

The more Mr. Lin thinks about it, the more he feels bad. I'm afraid he will soon be unable to keep track of the inside story of the tea production area and the salt field.

There are a lot of tea and salt in the warehouse right now, and I dare not transport them out. If they are shipped out in large quantities, Xie Yunjin must be alerted, but if they can’t be shipped out, what should I do if they keep piling up? He also pointed at these to make money for King Jin.

Prefect Lin thought that he wished to kill Xie Yunjin.

As soon as I returned to the government office in the afternoon, I called Kong Tuiguan, Gu Jingli and others to discuss countermeasures.

"Continuing like this is not an option. We have to think of a way to get rid of Xie Yunjin."

Governor Kong Tuiguan, Gu Jingli and others agreed with Lin Zhifu's words. They thought for a while and said quickly: "It seems that we can only find a way to kill him."

Prefect Lin wanted to vomit blood when he heard this: "There are many masters around him, and he can't get rid of him at all. If it is easy to get rid of him, why waste all his energy? You guys use your brains to see how to get rid of him."

Kong Tuiguan and Gu Jiji thought about it quickly, and in the end it really made them come up with a poisonous plan.

"We can use the hands of the Ningbo Mansion to deal with him."

After hearing what Kong Tuiguan said, Zhifu Lin immediately turned around and stared at him.

Officer Kong Tui came to his side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Prefect Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and finally he quickly looked at Officer Kong Tui and said, "I will go to Ning's house right away. This matter must be implemented as soon as possible. If this person is not eliminated, our goods will not be shipped out at all."

Kong Tuiguan, Gu Jingli and the others stood up immediately: "We will cooperate with you."

"it is good."

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao didn't go home until dark, but beside the field they bought, they not only built a small wooden house, but also opened a piece of thin land for raising seedlings.

"Jiaojiao, I read in the rice planting technique that rice must first be soaked in running water to germinate."

This Lu Jiao also knew this, nodded: "Yes."

"Then tomorrow we will send the rice seeds to soak in running water to germinate."

"Okay, I will arrange this tomorrow, don't worry."

The two were eating while talking, the four little ones had been busy all day, and were so tired that they ran to the west courtyard to wash up and go to sleep.

Although the two adults were tired, they were not in a hurry to go to sleep.

Feng Zhi came in from outside the door and reported: "My lord, madam, a letter came from the front yard, saying that Uncle Ning's residence has sent an invitation. Uncle Ning's fiftieth birthday will be three days later. Please thank your family for coming." Go to the banquet."

When Lu Jiao heard this, she frowned and said, turning to look at Xie Yunjin who was on the side.

"The Ning family's banquet, I'm afraid there will be no good banquet, shall we go?"

"I'll go, you don't have to go."

Xie Yun was worried about letting Lu Jiao go, but Lu Jiao was worried about letting him go alone, so she said softly, "Let's go together, maybe we can help each other when we encounter problems."

Xie Yunjin actually didn't quite agree, but he knew Lu Jiao's nature, and often what she said was a decision, not a discussion with him.

Xie Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly when she thought of Ning Bo's mansion suddenly sending him an invitation.

There was a conflict between their family and Ning's family. Although the two lived in peace, they did not communicate with each other.

Before the Ning family had something to do, they didn't send him invitations or anything.

Sending invitations to him suddenly now is obviously out of ulterior motives.

The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was tricky. He quickly thought of Zhifu Lin. Not surprisingly, Zhifu Lin had tampered with tea and salt. What he wants to do most at this moment is to get rid of himself.

But because of the people around him, he can't do anything, and if this matter is found out, he will be unlucky, so the most likely scheme he uses is to use the hands of the Ning family to plot against him.

Xie Yunjin's black eyes were full of frost, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

He was not in a hurry to move them, but they wanted to plot against him first.

That being the case, let's see who will be unlucky first.

Xie Yunjin thought about turning around to look at Lu Jiao and said, "Jiaojiao, you sleep first, I have something to go to the front yard."

Lu Jiao looked up at him in surprise, but she didn't stop her, but she didn't forget to warn him when she saw him walking out.

"You've been tired all day today, go to bed early."

"okay, I get it."

Xie Yunjin lifted his feet and went to the front yard. As soon as he entered the front yard, he arranged for Steward Xiao and Zhou Shaogong to check the situation of the tea field and the salt field.

Steward Xiao and Zhou Shaogong took orders and left.

Xie Yun would like to go back to the backyard to rest.

Housekeeper Xiao and Zhou Shaogong are both capable people. After two days of investigation in the tea production fields and salt fields, they presented the information they found in front of Xie Yunjin. Xie Yunjin looked through it and sneered.

He said that the taxes on such a large tea field and salt field are so low. It turned out that the prefect Lin emptied it. He not only emptied the tea and salt tax, but also exploited the people. The tea produced by the tea farmers was sold to the government. In his hands, there is only enough food and clothing for the whole family, not even enough to eat.

Besides, the people who work in the saltworks are even more emaciated, and they don't even have enough to eat.

Obviously tea and salt are the most precious things in Dazhou, but the people who grow them and the salt workers can't even eat enough, it's really ridiculous.

The prefect of Lin not only exploited the people, evaded taxes, but also smuggled out tea and salt, which was much more than what was handed over to the government.

In the study room, Steward Xiao and Zhou Shaogong had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. They felt sad when they thought of those tea farmers and workers in the salt field.

"My lord, what are you going to do?"

Xie Yunjin tapped on the desk, slowly raised his head to look at Steward Xiao and Zhou Shaogong and said, "Start with the tea farmers first, you go find the tea farmers in private to make trouble, let them say that they don't grow tea, and grow other plants instead, as long as the tea farmers come out If you make trouble, I can let Mr. Hu take over the case, and later find the salt from the tea, and you can definitely get the surname beheaded."
