Chapter 356

"Since Mr. Song said that, I'll tell you straight away. My mother-in-law has just come to see Mr. song once, and now he comes again. I think Mr. Song knows what we're coming for. I don't know if Mr. song can spare a room for us. How about renting you a room and giving you five Liang a month? "

"No." Song Wenqing directly refused, "the room at home has been full, empty room."

"I saw just now that most of the children in your family live in small places. It's better to let the children squeeze into a room so that a room can be made free." Cao Degang just glanced at the people in the living room and realized that as long as he had a heart, he would be able to get a room out.

Five Liang said more or less.

Just borrow a room. Five Liang is enough.

"Mr. Cao, my original intention to build a house was to make my family comfortable. Now everyone is very comfortable. I don't want to make my family uncomfortable for the sake of outsiders. "

"Mr. Song, did you really discuss it at all?" Cao de asked.

Song Wenqing didn't speak, but his eyes were firm, and his meaning was clear.

Cao de pursed his lips. He was already angry. He had scolded song Wenqing several times. He was just a hunter. He refused his request so unknowingly, but he didn't give money. As for his refusal?

"Mr. Song, I run a dyehouse in Xiaoling town. The cloth from our dyehouse is the cloth that even the rich and noble people in the capital like. My family has run dyehouses for generations and has a good family background. If it were not for the troubled times, I would not hide in the mountains. I'm used to living in clean brick houses in Xiaoling Town, but I can't really live in Adobe houses here. "

"If you can't get used to it, you can build a brick house." Song Wenqing said.

Cao de was stunned and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, this is a deep mountain. Even if I want to build a brick house, the world outside is so chaotic, even if I am willing to give money, I may not buy Bricks and tiles."

He forbeared the anger in his heart, thinking: this person is not willing to borrow the house, but also find so many excuses.

Song Wenqing said, "I have a brick kiln here that can burn bricks and tiles. If you want, I can buy Bricks and tiles for you."

"If there are bricks and tiles, just a few people in the family can build a house. When it's going to be built, Li Hua is still pregnant. She can't help anything."

"I have servants in my family. Recently, there is no farm work at home. If you want to build a house, I can lend them to you, only the salary is extra." Song Wenqing said.

Huangjinwang stood up and said, "son-in-law, we don't need to build a house. We'll stay for a few days. When the situation outside stabilizes, we'll go back. You can bear it for a few days. How much money does it cost to buy Bricks and build a house. It's not like we live here long. There's no need for that. "

Building a house at least takes more than ten Liang. Huang Jinwang doesn't know about his relationship with song Wenqing, and whether the other party will give them a lower price.

But he was just upset.

He watched song Wenqing grow up. In terms of seniority, he should build a house for them in vain.

They don't live here for a long time. They just live for a few days. They can't live even after the house is built. They're not for them.

But even if they are stupid enough to build a house, they will not build a house again.

When Cao de heard Huang Jinwang's words, he also felt reasonable.

He didn't continue to say anything to song Wenqing and turned to leave.

As soon as the Huang family left, song Wenqing went back to the house. Everyone ate the same, and the children went out to school.

Yin Qiqi was still waiting for song Wenqing at the dining table. Seeing someone coming back, he asked, "what did they say to you?"

"Want us to rent him a room."

"And what do you say?"

"I said that the purpose of building such a big house is for the family to live comfortably. If there is no empty house, I suggest that they build a house. I will burn bricks and tiles for them. When they hear this, they are not happy." Song Wenqing said in a straight line, but quietly held the man in his arms.

Song Wenqing held her hand slightly tight, and his voice was unconsciously gentle. "There are only five places for Dayan to supply salt, and three of them have been robbed by the enemy. The prosperity of feng'an prefecture has a lot to do with the salt here. If the salt in this place is taken away by the rebels, the price of salt will be higher. Salt is expensive. Those princes who want to win the throne need not only power, but also silver. Salt makes so much money that they will bring the army to take back this place. They just want to see who will take back this place at that time. "

"When they bring troops to drive out the rebels, will our lives return to normal?" Yin Qiqi took a dumpling for song Wenqing to eat.

Song Wenqing enjoyed his daughter-in-law's kindness and gave a faint hum.

Yin Qiqi frowned slightly, "but it's also a strategy to slow down the war, doesn't it mean that the frontier is still in war? Even if the rebel forces are suppressed, what will happen if the enemy forces from the frontier come in? "

"Dayan's national treasury is sufficient, and the soldiers have weapons and grain. Even if they don't win, it's no problem to fight for five years."

"If the National Treasury is sufficient, why do taxes keep rising?""Rising taxes do not necessarily go into the Treasury." Song Wenqing said, "the three princes want a lot of money to build their own army in the dark. Even if the old emperor is fatuous, he will not be fatuous enough to give money to the princes to set up an army to kill him. The best way for princes to ask for money is to let the officials in the party camp increase taxes on the grounds of war. Other taxes have long been too high for the people to bear. Although feng'an's taxes have increased, they have not increased much. But after Mr. Liu resigned, it went up a lot. "

"Did Mr. Liu also enter those Prince's camp who fought secretly?" Yin Qiqi frowned and said, "Liu Ankang is a good man. If he joined the princes' secret fight

"In my opinion, Mr. Liu did not join the three princes' camp, but he raised taxes to save his life. Fenganfu is a place for salt supply, and there is more oil and water than other places. If Mr. Liu insists on doing nothing, he will become a thorn in the eye of those people. Sooner or later, he will be killed. In order to protect himself, Mr. Liu had to raise taxes a little bit. Perhaps the other party's demands were getting higher and higher. Mr. Liu didn't want to use the people's hard money to exchange their family's life, so he was disheartened and resigned. Otherwise, at his present age, he will be in office for at least another 20 years. "

Yin Qiqi nodded in agreement.

Liu Ankang was only thirty-five years old. He was a young man among all the officials. He didn't go home so early.

"But as soon as Mr. Liu resigns, feng'an Fu will be in a mess. If Mr. Liu is still the magistrate of feng'an Fu, feng'an Fu will not be in such a mess." Yin Qiqi said that if Liu Ankang was still a magistrate, they would have a good life at least for a while.

"It's a matter of time before feng'an's office will be in chaos, but if Mr. Liu resigns later, he will be killed. In today's world, honest officials can hardly live long. "

Yin Qiqi sighed heavily, and was a little headache by the chaotic times.
