Chapter 249

"Why did you study spices? Did empress huifei want to make incense?" Lian Chengming slightly recalled the corners of his mouth and sent the book back to Liu Ruyan's hand, making fun of her.

Liu Ruyan only turned his eyes and said, "if you see more, you can make your own incense."

"Your Majesty doesn't know that there is a lot of knowledge in making incense."

Liu Ruyan closed the book and put it on the couch table. For fear that Lian Chengming would be unhappy again, he robbed the book again.

Chen miner on the other side also received something from the magistrate's wife this moment, and this time, the magistrate's wife sent the most capable girl around her.

The girl is also smart. She is very sweet when she meets Chen miner and praises Chen miner's calm atmosphere.

Chen min'er raised her hand slightly and felt that the girl was too noisy. The noise hurt her head. Looking at these boxes of things, she knew that it was sent to Liu Ruyan in the morning.

I heard that Liu Ruyan had sent the things back without losing anything. I didn't think that the magistrate's wife was so persistent that she sent the things to her intact. Chen min'er really didn't know whether the magistrate's wife was smart or stupid this time.

Liu Ruyan doesn't accept it. As a concubine, does she dare to accept the things of the magistrate's wife.

"Go back and tell your wife that she doesn't have to take this effort anymore." Chen min'er said with a cold face and looked up. Then he turned and told the guard, "send all the things back. Don't let them come into the post house in the future."

"Empress Hui has sent back all the things sent by the magistrate's wife once. Now she still sends them to our palace. Is it breaking our palace?"

With some disdain and coldness in his tone, Chen min'er looked back at the girl. Her eyes startled the girl, quickly lowered her head and whispered a refutation: "the empress misunderstood. Our wife just wanted to..."

"See off." Chen min'er turned and went upstairs. Two words coldly interrupted the servant girl's words.

"Yes..." the servant girl bit her lower lip tightly and dared not speak any more. She turned and hurried away. The people behind her hurriedly followed up with several boxes.

"What? Did she really say that?" the magistrate's wife turned green after receiving the words. The servant girl bowed her head and dared not say a word.

"It's just a concubine. I gave her something as a compliment. I'm so ignorant!" the magistrate's wife shook her sleeve angrily.

I just wanted to win over the two concubines accompanying Lian Chengming for the magistrate. Unexpectedly, it was such a result.

On the other hand, the magistrate immediately dismissed those who built the river and many other coolies, added silver to many people, and sent them back well.

Naturally, the workers are very happy and go home happily. Naturally, they will not make trouble again. Moreover, they will not talk nonsense if they take money.

But the magistrate encountered a great problem.

"Sir, the repair works of the river can't be stopped. This will affect many of our business contacts. The river must be repaired immediately. How can you..."

When the magistrate's men heard this, they immediately came over and said they didn't understand it. They rushed in and wanted to argue with the magistrate.

"What do you know!" the magistrate was reading behind the desk, feeling uneasy. Everything he did was for the black hat on his head: "don't you know that your majesty has been patrolling the south of the Yangtze River in recent days. If he finds out anything, the black hat on my head will be lost at that time, and what business will be useful!"

He looked up at his men. The magistrate came out from behind the desk and was looking for his men. There were still a lot of things to arrange.

He went to his subordinates, looked at his subordinates and patted his subordinates on the shoulder. The magistrate sighed and said, "go and arrange another thing so that those secretly rich businessmen don't act rashly in the near future. Don't make these troubles for me. Wait until the wind passes."

"Yes..." his men bowed their heads and were secretly depressed.

God knows how much business they will lose because of lianchengming's inspection.

"In addition, stop all the things we have in hand and discuss them later." the magistrate gave another instruction. Thinking of Lian Chengming's warning, he sighed and said: "Although our majesty is young, he is not as easy to deal with as he looks. Just by building the river, he has involved almost everything in our hands, which is a serious blow to us."

"Remember, everyone should not act rashly during this period of time." I was very worried. The magistrate asked again before sending out his men.

On the other side of lianchengming, Qin Jiayan is already reporting the situation.

"Tell your majesty, there are a lot of people coming and going in the magistrate's residence recently. It should be cleaning up the mess." Qin Jiayan said and nodded slightly.

"HMM." Lian Chengming responded and said, "the magistrate is crafty and crafty. After all, he has governed Jiangnan for so many years. His forces are intertwined. It's not so easy to kill him all at once. I'm afraid he will involve a lot of things."

"At present, the most important thing is the problem of the common people. This forced recruitment of labor should be completely eliminated here in the south of the Yangtze River." Lian Chengming finished the word under his hand and finished it perfectly. Looking at the word "Quan" written on his desk, Lian Chengming put down his brush, raised his head and told Qin Jiayan:

"In addition, Xiujiang, check it again to ensure that all the people have been put back and will not continue to be expropriated."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Qin Jiayan promised.

Later, when Qin Jiayan took people to investigate again, he really didn't find anyone repairing the river. It seems that the situation has been solved.

Qin Jiayan went on to several people's homes to understand the situation. Seeing that the people's words towards the magistrate had changed, he knew that the magistrate sent people to distribute pension silver. All the people who were forcibly requisitioned to do coolies took silver.

If you take the silver, you won't talk any more.

The situation was fed back to Lian Chengming. Lian Chengming couldn't help nodding and said, "the magistrate still has some brains. He knows to use money to block the mouths of the people. No wonder Jiangnan has been managed by him for so many years. Although there are illegal things, his credit can't be buried."

"This stop can be over. Tell them to go down and let them clean up. We'll leave for the next place tomorrow."
