The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 589: The Vengeful Steward Zhou

While Yan Yu was waiting anxiously, Yan Xiangheng finally arrived.

The people in front have already cleared the shortest road between Huju and Xizhou. It is clear when to go and where there is a place to rest against the wind.

Yan Xiangheng: "...these people who came with me are everywhere, Gu Feng, Long Xing... even the humble people from the Fucheng family came with them. When we set off, I heard that many people came to Huju Well, counting the days, when they bring the cinders back home, it won't be cold for a few days."

What he wanted to say was that, in fact, it was not necessary to go through this journey. It was cold and the road was far away, and it was not easy to go back and forth.

"It's still cold in Guanzhou in March, and it's better in April in previous years, but this year, the old people in Guanzhou can't say well." Yan Laoer said: "How early is our family's kang this year? It’s time to use it, besides, there is no shortage of firewood for cooking on weekdays, and it doesn’t cost money to pull coal cinders in Xizhou. It’s not much better than charcoal, if it’s changed, I’ll pull it too!”

Yan Laoer compared his heart with his heart, and felt that he didn't even need to think about this advantage, he had to take it.

"Brother, do you think they have a long way to go, and the weather is cold and they suffer. There are two or three more people in the family, and there is no one to hold back. Even if the cinders don't need money and let them pack them casually, they can't bring much back?" Yan Yu asked. .

"That's right!" Yan Xiangheng hurriedly said, "That's it."

The father and daughter looked at each other, and the second Yan said: "It stands to reason that it should be the winter time for people in Guanzhou. The family has enough autumn vegetables and enough firewood. The little kang is lit, and Xiao Xuejing is looking at it, tsk! How beautiful! Isn’t it also divided into years? Like this year, the winter is long and it’s still cold, and the snow is so heavy that the house will collapse at every turn. Who can stay?

When people are cold, they eat a lot, spend rations, clear snow to repair the house, work hard and pay money...

Eldest nephew, this man is busy talking about living. Most people don’t have much ability and don’t earn a lot. Why do you always say that we country people are digging in the ground, and we don’t have much to earn a living other than farming. No, the cinders are pulled back and burned, and they can be burned for a while, so how much firewood can be saved for a while, at least dozens of pennies, which is a lot, where do you let them earn these dozens of pennies at this time? If you save, you earn! "

Yan Xiangheng nodded heavily: "Uncle is right, it's because my nephew is thinking too little."

"Your father asked you to come out because he wanted you to see these things. Our village is different from them. We..."

Yan's second son got stuck. He wanted to say that our village is doing well because our family brought it, but he felt a little embarrassed to say this from his own mouth. It was difficult for him. Yan Yu took the words: "Our village has lived well. Good because we robbed Beirong!"

Second Yan: ...

Although...but...it has something to do with it, but is it okay to be so straightforward? !

Yan Xiangheng looked at Xiao Er.

I saw Xiaoer puffing his round face, and said solemnly: "Everyone in the village is hardworking. Why don't you see that we lived well before, and now every family has spare money, and there are big livestock like cattle and sheep, and they will be pulled in the spring. It takes a lot of effort to save a cow to go to the field. Maybe we still have the energy to open up a few acres of land. Brother, do the math, we will open up wasteland for three years without paying taxes, and we will plant everything ourselves. We will plant a lot of land. , How much food and autumn vegetables do we have to harvest in autumn!"

Yan Yu's eyes shone with anticipation, which was extremely bright.

Yan Xiangheng followed her train of thought and was full of longing.

Unconsciously said: "The cattle and sheep transported back this time have not been divided..."

Yan Yu was in a hurry: "Why is there no division? Didn't we all agree when you left, big brother? The regulations are all ready-made, so let's use our village's previous regulations."

Yan Xiangheng's ears turned red: "It's a few village elders who said... Do we have to send some of our cattle and sheep to the government... Brother thinks what the village elders said makes sense, after all, the militia should be supplied by the government... ..."

"The old folks in the village are so confused!" Yan Yu was heartbroken, and spoke quickly: "It's true that the government is in charge of us. If we didn't open our business, it would be fine to drag the cattle and sheep that we eat and drink, but we would have made a profit long ago. That's it! The coal that was brought back by the carts was not, but we didn't keep any of it, and the cattle and sheep should be ours!"

"It should be distributed like we picked meat on the mountain, oops! The village elders are confused!" Yan Yu repeated depressedly: "Then where are the cattle and sheep now? Are they sent to the government office?"

"No, it's still in our village. Several village elders said to raise it first, and discuss how to give it away when you go back." Yan Xiangheng said hurriedly.

Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again: "It's okay, it's okay, just stay in our village."

Yan Laoer suddenly said: "What's the use in our village, if you divide it, you will divide it. There is no division. When your uncle or master thinks about it..."

"Ah!" Yan Yuteng stood up, "I have to go back!"

...

"Tonight or tomorrow morning?" Yan Er asked.

Yan Yu laughed and said, "My father understands me anyway, so I have to find a reason to leave. My elder brother just sent it over, so it's not good if I don't pick it up. Haha, I'll continue."

"I'll read Uncle's letter later." Yan Yu took out the letter, and the two of them read it from beginning to end.

"Remember it? If you remember, just follow your uncle's advice and burn it quickly." Yan Laoer said.

Yan Yu read it again worryingly, making sure he kept it firmly in his heart, and then threw the letter into the furnace.

"I'm really afraid of missing one, so I want to write it down." Yan Yu said pitifully.

Yan Laoer quickly waved his hand: "Don't, your uncle's letter, in case others see it, we are not sure whether we can go back."

"Yes, so the insurance is still burned."

Yan Yu's expression became serious: "Father, I can easily talk about the few things uncle told me, only you... have to deal with Prince Qi's Mansion again."

"Hey! Dad's side is easy to handle. There's someone coming from Gufeng's side. I'll just beat and drum on the side. Your uncle said it. We can't show up directly about this matter. On the surface, it has nothing to do with us. Dad What we have to do is to cooperate in the whole process, at most to help lead the way or something, and introduce Manager Zhou to others."

Yan Yu asked worriedly: "Master Zhou won't hold grudges, right?"

...

Does Manager Zhou have any grudges?

Must remember!

He gave out the heavy meeting gift, why come back? What!

So when Gu Fengcheng came, he didn't show any kindness.

Take the money, eat the food, and drink the wine.

But I just don't tell the story.

Strangled to death at the beginning, strangled to death at the beginning, I can't suffocate you to death!

...

"Steward Yan, this Steward Zhou of Prince Qi's Mansion is too difficult!" Gu Feng's person is the elder's master, and he is also a master of money and grain. The little devil in front of the prince is too difficult to dismiss.

Yan Laoer's face was full of pain, and he let out a long sigh: "Oh! It's up to me. In order to earn more benefits for us in Guanzhou, and force people to admit that they don't want money for us to pull coal cinders, they still take advantage of loopholes. It's uncertain... "

Gu Feng's Master Qian Liang was also on the road, saying: "How can you blame Guan Shi Yan, Guan Shi Yan is also sharing our prince's worries, even my people from Gu Feng often come here... The cold winter is hard!"

"For this... I offended Steward Zhou. We were quite close at first, and even brought our children to eat at the same table... I won't mention it! I won't mention it!"

Yan Lao Er waved his hand, moved closer, and said in a low voice, "I'll give you an idea, try it out...you just say this and that..."
