Qin Wuyan quickly reined in, carried her off the horse, held the rein with one hand, and Zhuang Xiaoyu with the other, walked side by side on the embankment with her, and asked in a low voice, "How bad is the pain? If it's severe , just wait for a while, and wait for the carriage behind to come."
Zhuang Xiaoyu shook her head, "It's okay, I haven't been to these places for a long time, I just happened to have a look around."
When she was young, she sneaked out to play with her eldest and second brothers. When she grew up, she never went to this kind of place. At most, she went to the back mountain of the villa to pay homage to her mother.
It was a rare time to come out, Zhuang Xiaoyu breathed the air mixed with the scent of flowers and grass, his whole body seemed to be infused with a ray of vitality, and his whole body became active.
Seeing that she seemed very happy, Qin Wuyan let her go.
He ordered the guards to ask the passing farmers if the dam had been built, and those farmers looked at them, hesitating to speak.
Qin Wuyan was surprised, and asked: "Didn't I hear that the dam is about to be built, or is there something unspeakable?"
The farmer asked, "Are any of you from other places?"
"Yes, I did business in the city and was about to go back. I heard that the acting priest specially allocated funds to build this dam for the safety of the people. Now it looks very spectacular...
It's just that with your appearance, what seems to have changed? "Qin Wuyan said, took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket, and bought several sweet potatoes in the farmer's basket."
The farmer was very happy when he received the copper coins, and by the way he opened up the chatter box: "Hey, who doesn't know that the intention of the acting priest is good, but it's just a pity that the acting priest can't do so many things by himself, and the people below take With chicken feathers as arrows, he began to domineering."
Qin Wuyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The people below, are they from the Lie family or the Min family?"
"Both families are not very good people. The supervisor of Nalie's family likes to order farmers to rush to work. A few days ago, he beat a farmer to death in front of everyone. These days, those farmers are afraid of being beaten. To die, to work day and night, but exhausted.
As for the overseer of the Min's family, they were in cahoots with the overseer of the Nalie's family. They withheld the wages of the farmers and did not give them enough food.
The priest's notice clearly stated that breakfast would be a steamed bun, lunch would be a plate of pickles, a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and dinner would be two steamed buns.
The applicants are all peasants, young and strong, and there are children waiting to be fed at home, and the buns at night are all taken home for the children to eat.
Just two days before the embankment was built, the high priest came over to follow this standard. Every three days, he could receive wages, but the embankment had been built for almost two months, and the wages had not been seen for a month. , the food is also halved, and the two corn buns that should be for dinner are gone.
The farmer didn't have enough to eat and couldn't get money, so he started to complain, so he talked about working slowly, and the construction period would not be completed.
Seeing that the construction period could not be completed on time, the supervisor above became anxious, but the peasants also wanted to eat, and there was a conflict between the two parties a few days ago.
Then the overseers of the Min family and the Lie family called the guards, and beat the person who made the most noise to death in front of all the farmers who were building the embankment...
Nowadays, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out, and they also blame the priest in their hearts, and their words don't count, hey! "
Qin Wuyan put in all his effort, and just like this, he was tricked by this group of obsequious things and turned into a person who didn't believe what he said!
