Chapter 504

CEN Haoyang said: "Niang, isn't the first family in Baihua town our family?"

Li Xuemei sighed: "today is different from the past. What is our family now? Thanks to your uncle and aunt, our reception building has been collected by the creditor. Today's Yingke new building will give the orange family two or three percent profit every year. After we get rid of the cost, in fact, the profit is far from what it used to be. Fuyinglou is also a mess under your uncle's interference. Let alone the grain shop. "

CEN Haoyang heard Niang talk about these for the first time, and then asked. Li Xuemei didn't hide them any more, so she told them all.

Li Xuemei said, "our family is falling. But what about your third sister? It's in the limelight! There are chicken, duck and fish in the farm, and fruits that other people don't have. It's a hundred miles around. Who doesn't know about Xinghua village? Why do you know? It's not because there is a Zhao farm in Xinghua village! But your third sister is exquisite, and she can't find a thorn to deal with people's affairs. Who mentioned that she didn't give a thumbs up? In time, their family will surpass our Cen family sooner or later! We Cen mansion, "she said with a sneer," now it's just an empty shell! How much cash did your uncle spend? I'm not sure now! He pawned the old lady's stock by 50% or 60%! "

After hearing this, CEN Haoyang murmured, "so Is our family finished? "

Li Xuemei said: "it's not the end, but it's hard to restore the weather in the past. Fortunately, your mother has the foresight to pawn all the dowry, otherwise sooner or later, she will teach your uncle two tricks. "

After hearing this, CEN Haoyang didn't say anything for a long time. He thought he was a rich man who didn't care about the world, just like before. Who knows, in a few months, his life has quietly changed dramatically, but he has been well protected, hiding behind his mother and continuing his past life. In fact, such a big Cen mansion already had thousands of warehouses and hundreds of holes, but he didn't know it.

Li Xuemei touched his head and said in a soft voice, "good boy, don't be afraid if you have a mother!"

It's said that "a hundred legged insects die but are not stiff". How can Cen's house fall down so easily?

Li Xuemei believes that the old lady must still have some tricks. She has been waiting, waiting for the day when the old lady can't help it.

Soon it's autumn harvest.

Because of this year's severe drought, the income of several neighboring towns in Chengdu is extremely poor, and some farmers can't even get a load of grain.

This autumn, sorrow is everywhere.

The magistrate had no choice but to report to Shangfeng, asking for exemption of public grain tax.

Who knows at this time, the Xinghua village of Baihua town is leading the way to pay public grain.

When the magistrate saw the yellow millet, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He was stunned for a long time and then said, "Baihua town is suffering from a severe drought this year. How can you hand over the surplus grain in Xinghua village?"

The leaders are Zhao Changfu and Zhao Xianfan. Zhao Changfu is always clumsy. When the magistrate asks questions, he is too nervous to speak.

Fortunately, Xianfan was young and courageous, and he knew a few words, so he bravely said: "back to the magistrate's words: our Xinghua village, together with the whole village, spent several days digging a canal to bring water down from the hidden river of the mountain stream, so that the rice fields could be irrigated, so we didn't get nothing. Our whole village has not only harvested as usual this year, but also handed in some surplus grain. It's just that the rice field dried up for a long time, and the flowering time of heading was slightly delayed, so the yield was not higher than in previous years Therefore, the public grain is not enough. I hope the magistrate will not blame me! "

The magistrate said, "so you're diverting water from the mountains? That's not easy! By the way, master, why don't other villages follow this method? "

The master quickly said, "if you go back to the master, not all villages have underground rivers on the mountains, and digging ditches is not a matter of one or two days. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do!"

The magistrate said, "how can people dig in Xinghua village?"

After Xianfan, Zhao er said, "the master doesn't know something. A family in our village has opened a farm, which has dug several fish ponds, raised poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, and planted dozens of acres of vegetables and fruit trees. Many years ago, their family dug up the hidden River on the mountain and widened the ditch. This drought is also due to their digging the ditch and opening the gate to divert water, so that we can not get nothing in our village.... "

The magistrate interrupted him and asked, "are you talking about the Zhao farm in Xinghua village?"

Zhao Erxi said, "have you ever heard of it?"

The magistrate touched his gray beard and said, "I've heard a little. It is said that there are three girls in their family? "

Zhao Er clapped his hands and said with a smile: "exactly! Three girls in our village, but the goddess of mercy in front of the general existence! Although the three girls are young, they have big ideas. She took her family to farm and raise pigs, and taught them all the tricks. Now when it comes to Xinghua village, our pigs are fatter than other people's! Not only that, the three girls also gave free medicine to the poor family in the village Talking about the three girls in our village, I can't finish it for three days and three nights. Master, do you know that the three girls still have an optional warehouse in the town? That warehouse is amazing! "

The magistrate said with a smile, "I have heard a little about it. I just don't know if these three girls have three heads and six arms? Why do people praise her all the time? So I'd like to see her. "Zhao Eryi pointed to Zhao Changfu and said, "master, the third girl is my brother Changfu's daughter. It's easy for you to meet her if you want to. Let's go back and get her right away."

Zhao Changfu exclaimed, "ah!" and said, "if you want to see my little girl I'll go home and pick it up

The magistrate waved his hand and said, "no hurry, no hurry. When the whole town is busy with autumn harvest, I'll go to Xinghua village myself. "

Zhao Changfu was so surprised that he said, "master, the farm is full of holes I'm afraid I'll dirty your boots. "

The magistrate said, "what did you say? Haven't I been to the countryside? I grew up in the countryside, too. It's a good time to visit this time. "

Zhao Changfu asked the specific date and said he would be ready.

The magistrate shook his head and smile: "what is there to prepare for? I don't wear a guard of honor. I just go out in plain clothes. Don't prepare for it! Keep everything simple, keep everything simple

Zhao Changfu had to answer.

At present, all the public grain in Xinghua village was registered and some of it was put into the warehouse. The county magistrate then distributed some of it to several extremely poor families. Finally, he ordered his yamen officers to close the warehouse and return home.

As soon as Zhao Changfu and others returned to the village, it spread that the magistrate would come to Xinghua village to inspect himself.

Qiulan was very nervous and kept saying, "third sister! Third sister! The official is coming! Are you not afraid? "
