Chapter 261 Three lives of misfortune

"Tu" Cui Xiaoqing cursed weakly and stood up to avoid the seat.

The next day, Shiteng brought ten Cuizhuang group training groups and four black servants to Haizhou County in a small car.

You can't say it, I have been in Haizhou for more than a year. This is the first time I have dealt with the Haizhou County Government. He used to be with the State Government Government, but he didn't know that the State Government Government was not in the city, but in the northern suburbs of the county, slightly closer to the dock.

From a distance, I saw the Meng County Magistrate standing at the entrance of the county government office to do reception work. Shi Chuan felt that he was very early and was not in a hurry to go in. He stood at the door and chatted with the Meng County Magistrate. When he heard Shi Chuan’s question, the Meng County Magistrate replied casually: "Everyone is an official, what should I do in the city? Do you think the people in the street are asked to patrol the county government office or the people in the county government office?

It has been more than a hundred years since the Haizhou County Government moved into the suburbs... Well, it was around the time of Emperor Taizong that a Tanhua came to the county magistrate. Tanhua was always arrogant and arrogant. She felt that she was squatting in the city and was still under control like a small commoner. She moved the county government here in anger, and then gradually formed a tacit understanding - the city of Haizhou belongs to the state government government, and the county government government does not care about all the work in the city, but when it comes out of the city gate, it will be under the jurisdiction of the county government government."

Shi Chuan teased again: "I remember you are of the same grade as the magistrate, but why do you have to stand at the door to greet the guests? Is the magistrate intentionally insulting?"

Shi Chuan's words were a bit provocative, and the county magistrate Meng curled his lips: "Mom, that old man Qu thought he was a scholar and looked down on me, the county magistrate who was climbed up by an official... Humph, the scholar doesn't look at himself. He has been an old juren for many years in the exam."

County Magistrate Meng was indeed very dissatisfied with this, but he had to bow his head.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty kept saying that he would rule the world with the scholars and officials. In this era, the scholars and officials were a special class that could spit their saliva on the emperor's face. The biggest regret of Meng County Wei's life was that he had never passed the imperial examination, so even when facing an old juren, he consciously lowered his head. Although he felt very angry about this, he was more helpless.

Thinking of the topic of scholars, the County Magistrate Meng suddenly lit up and asked quickly: "Dalang, do you plan to live with a trustworthy man in your life? You are from the Shi family of Jiaxing, and you are a prime minister. Tonghaizhou City says you know a lot. Although you can't remember the past, it is probably not difficult to pick up the book again?

Look, I only have this job, and I will retire after working for three years at most. Why not give you a quota for students now? You can take the exam casually and get the title of a juren?"

Shi Chuan still looked dissatisfied. County Magistrate Meng looked around and saw that the door was still deserted. He pulled Shi Chuan to the dark place and persuaded him earnestly: "Darang, do you see that Fang Juren in your village, the juren master, is far more respectful than the idle officials like you and me. Once he said it, he is also a scholar, glorious

Mom, I would have known that I should have gone to Tong Envoy to buy a title as a juren, and see how old man Qu looked at me squintly. Hum, he is just an old juren who failed the exams. Then we are also a juren, and we are of the same rank as him. Don’t look down on the second brother..."

Shi Chuan interrupted the words of the County Magistrate Meng and said leisurely: "Are Fang Juren, maybe he is not a scholar? Is there any scholar who does not understand the laws of the court and dares to take the blame? He married two wives in a row. I heard that he was shouting everywhere in the village, saying that he had newly married Zhao's "Ping Wife" - a Ping Wife. Nowadays, many Zhao family princes and grandsons dare not claim to be qualified to marry Ping Wife. He is a Juren. Could he want to rebel? He is really brave."

County Magistrate Meng was shocked and asked tightly: "What do you really mean?"

Shi Chuan nodded gently: "It is said that after the three books and six rituals, the three wedding books, whether they are engaged, rituals and wedding books, they all have the words "Ping Wife" written."

County Magistrate Meng asked again: "Your Juren dares to say this, can the Zhao family dare to echo? After all, they are people around the city, and they will not be like old farmers with poor mountains and rivers, without knowing the depth at all, right?"

Shi Chuan replied with a smile: "The Zhao family came forward to stop it several times, but those who talked about these things were all servants brought by Fang Juren from Tongxi. They didn't care at all. Even if others stopped them, they still made a big fuss in the village."

The place name "Tongxi" reminded the county magistrate Meng. He touched his chin and thought: "Mom, Tongxi, it's so messy there. Fang Juren came to settle down from Tongxi. I had seen the servant Fang Juren took with him. He looked very ferocious, and he wouldn't be..."

County Magistrate Meng asked again, "Dalang, don't you dare to say this nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"

Shi Chuan replied with a smile: "I am from Tongzhou Prefecture, and I am the head of the Tongzhou Navy Commander Shi, who is Shi Yanei's father. I heard that Shi Yanei is now driven to the island by his family and makes a living by fishing. There are more places to go to fishing, and I can't help but vaguely hear some rumors from the outside world.

It is said that people from Tongxi were asking about Mr. Fang’s whereabouts. They said that Fang Juren took the money from his family and bought a Juren’s status. They brought the remaining money to Haizhou and left Tongxi’s wife and children. Because the land at home had been sold out, Fang Juren’s wife and children who were left in Tongxi had no choice but to ask about Fang Juren’s whereabouts, thinking about getting back some money to make a living..."

When Shi Chuan talked about Shi Yanei's livelihood by fishing, County Magistrate Meng curled his lips slightly. He did it from the official, so he was naturally not as ignorant as officials from the imperial examination. He knew what Shi Yanei was doing now - that was the armed smuggling of salt, rhinoceros and other banned goods in the army... Even in terms of smuggling salt, Fang Juren and Shi Yanei were competitors.

Even Dalang was not simple at this moment. Fang Juren arrogantly opened the counterfeiting workshop opposite the door he wore. Rumors Shi Dalang wanted to peel Fang Juren's skin... But Shi Dalang was not a good guy, Dasong's salt and iron were monopolized in the Dasong salt. Shi Dalang did not smuggle salt, but Duan's blacksmith shop, where he owned a stake, blatantly hoarded iron materials.

But all this is not about the Meng County Magistrate's business

Fang Juren is very good at doing things and always eats alone. If he wasn't worried about driving away the mouse and breaking the jade bottle, someone would have thought that the other party would have taken action on both sides of the lawsuit. The reason given by Shi Chuan now is really good. A flat wife does not start from Mr. Fang's business, but only chooses a breakthrough from the "ritual system", so that Mr. Fang can't start even if he wants to bite other people out - others dare not be so arrogant that he married two wives.

Although our Song Dynasty ruled the world with the scholars and officials, you had to transcend the etiquette system and despise the imperial power... There was never that dynasty who would be willing to spare such a person lightly.

County Wei Meng calmed down and carefully inquired: "I heard that Juren Fang had a good business last year, and his income was probably around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan?"

Shi Chuan was reminded with great sincerity: "I'm afraid it's not all. I spent 500 guan to build the workshop in Cuizhuang, but this is because the land is not a big deal. The land in the workshop was jointly invested by everyone. But Mr. Fang is different. He just bought the land for about 300 guan; together with the workshop, the cost should be about 1,000 guan.

The workers in his workshop paid two more yuan a day than me, so I thought that it would take a thousand guan a year to run that workshop. In addition, there were shops in Haizhou City - you know this. He bought seven or eight shops in the city in a row. The land in the city was really expensive. These seven or eight shops should be around three or five thousand.

Oh, and some of his "real estates" on the beach. He hired nearly a thousand refugees and purchased hundreds of acres of sand near the sea... In this way, his property was about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. If he invested 20,000 yuan and earned only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Haizhou City is one of the six major tea markets in the world. Each transaction is about 100,000 yuan, and the income is about 100,000 yuan. He is just a small businessman in Haizhou and cannot alarm any big shots."

County Magistrate Meng touched his chin and thought for a while, then looked at the gate. At this time, three or two carriages and several sedan chairs came from the gate. County Magistrate Meng nodded randomly and called a younger brother and Wang Xiaochuan to greet the guests. He rushed to Shiteng and said hello: "Mom, I'm looking, this time, these people can only be summoned. Shi Dalang followed these people in first, and I'll inform the magistrate."

The notice from County Magistrate Meng, after a long time, Shi Chuan was not in a hurry. He slowly chatted with the guests. This time the magistrate gathered people. There were no heavyweights among the guests. Most of them were small businessmen, and they did not have a strong background. If they could come here, they were probably afraid that "the county magistrate was better than the current management."

Of course, this was a "bad and old society" in the Song Dynasty where the people were not afraid of officials. These people sat in the simple county junta, and they didn't have much respect. They just wanted to live a favorable position and not offend the new magistrate easily. Under the guidance of this idea, everyone was very open-minded and had no fear at all.

After a long time, the county magistrate Meng accompanied the county magistrate. This was a guy with a gray beard, hunched waist, skinny cheeks, and turbid eyes, but he was a little as he walked. He looked around the hall, and his turbid eyes immediately appeared in his turbid eyes. He coughed twice. The old man said sternly: "Spring is here. I originally thought that after the sacrifice, I would convene the village chief to discuss the distribution of the green seedling money... Why, the village chiefs have not all arrived?"

The guys who had a very enthusiastic conversation with Shi Chuan just now were looking at Shi Chuan, which made Shi Chuan a little puzzled: Why am I so popular?

Qu Magistrate Qu looked around and also stared at trying on his body. Shi Chuan was tall and white, very eye-catching. County Magistrate Meng went over to explain to the magistrate a few words. The magistrate spoke: "Mr. Shi was originally from the prime minister. I guess his family has a family background. If you have nothing to do, you can often come to the county government and talk about poetry and friends with me... Cough cough, the distribution of green seedlings is related to the great cause of the court. There are not enough yamen runners, Shi Chuan also needs to send some team training to help..."
