Chapter 907 Rumors
Zhou Biyao stepped forward to support Mrs. Zhao, while Wang Qiao made a gesture and asked Xiuqin in surprise, "You have been with your mother all the time, why do you suddenly want to stay? Let's go back together. You have relatives by your side. If you stay here, you will be alone." Alone, what can you do if you have something to do in the future? The luggage is packed, why are you messing around? Hurry up and get in the car, don’t you see so many people waiting?”

When the Zhao family forced Wang Qiao to leave the Qi family, Xiuqin began to work for Jiang Yifan, sending messages back and forth through an unremarkable woman next to Ye Xinyan.

Both Wang Qiao and Zhou Biyao knew about her.At this time, Xiuqin saw the expressions of Wang Qiao and Zhou Biyao, and knew that Wang Qiao felt sorry for her mother, and she pretended not to know about it because she was afraid that Zhao would be hurt even more.

It turns out that her honest cousin also knows how to act sometimes.

Xiuqin and Wang Qiao didn't intend to deceive Mrs. Zhao, but in desperation, they chose this time to tell Mrs. Zhao about it.It's really that Zhao's fighting power is too strong, so he has to be treated with caution.

According to Zhao's character, if he knew that Xiuqin was leaving, he must ask the matter clearly.Even if she asked clearly, if she didn't want Xiuqin to stay, I'm afraid there would still be a lot of means, maybe Xiuqin really couldn't stay.

Xiuqin did not respond to Wang Qiao's words, but kowtowed to Mrs. Zhao again: "Xiuqin is sorry for Auntie, take care of Auntie in the future. Cousins ​​and sisters-in-law are filial and kind-hearted people, as long as Auntie can be a carefree person in the future and enjoy life with peace of mind." An old man with filial children and grandchildren can live an enviable life as an old lady from a rich family. Xiuqin is leaving now."

Xiuqin kowtowed three times to Mrs. Zhao, stood up without bringing anything, walked straight through the crowd, and left.

Zhou Biyao supported Mrs. Zhao, and kept persuading: "Mother, don't be angry. Let's go too. Since Xiuqin already has the intention to leave, even if she leaves her behind, her heart won't be here. Don't force others to make things difficult for her." , let's get in the car."

Mrs. Zhao glared at Xiuqin as she passed through the crowd, her back disappeared, her face was already pale with anger.Hearing Zhou Biyao's persuasion, he shook off her hand heavily, and his angry eyes scanned the faces of his son and daughter-in-law back and forth.

However, apart from seeing worry and helplessness on their faces, they didn't find any other clues.

Zhao shi didn't know where to vent her anger. Under the gaze of everyone, her eyes gradually turned red.But still holding on, staring at Wang Qiao.

She thought that if her son was brought up and his son was promising, she would be able to enjoy the blessings.However, her son has grown up and his heart has grown up.Now that she's promising, she doesn't look down on her as a mother anymore, and has the ability to criticize her.

Among the neighbors seeing him off, there was an old lady who couldn't see her eyes. She stepped forward, teased Mrs. Zhao, and persuaded: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, you can't be angry when you see that you are going to go a long way. That child Xiuqin, we I can see that I have been serving my sister-in-law with all my heart. Although I didn't return with my sister-in-law, I heard what the child said just now, but it was good.

We have been neighbors for more than a year, and both Aqiao and Aqiao's wife are good.Sister-in-law has such a caring son and daughter-in-law, isn't it great to be an old lady who doesn't worry about everything.This is a good day that those of us can't even look forward to, sister-in-law of the Wang family, we should cherish our blessings. "

After the aunt finished speaking, several elderly aunts and aunts beside her also echoed.

Wang Qiao and Zhou Biyao thanked several people repeatedly, and helped Mrs. Zhao into the carriage.Xiaocui looked enviously at the direction where Xiuqin was leaving, and hurriedly followed.

As the carriage started, Mrs. Zhao was exhausted in the carriage, and the feeling of weakness from recovering from a serious illness struck again.

Is she really wrong?A few days ago, her son, who had always been sensible and filial, accused her with such words.Today, although Xiuqin didn't make her words so harsh, she still thinks that she has too much to do with what she said.

Those neighbors who have no friendship actually said the same thing.Is she the kind of person who doesn't know how to cherish blessings?According to those people in the neighborhood, the son and daughter-in-law, including Xiuqin, are all good, so we just have to say that she is not good, right?
Is she really wrong?

…………

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is still no rain in Wonju and surrounding areas.After discussing with the elders of the cabinet department, the emperor had no other hope, so he sent people to various parts of Yuanzhou to check the storage situation of the granaries in various places, and provide appropriate relief when necessary

The capital also began to collect available property, ready to be shipped to Wonju.Try to control the situation in advance before the disaster-affected areas are full of starvation.

The imperial court's response was considered fast. Even so, rumors spread in the Yuanzhou area, claiming that the original half-year drought would not make the next disaster so serious.The reason is that the emperor was self-willed and built useless projects year after year, resulting in heavy taxes and depriving the people of Wonju of all the storage in their homes, so they had no power to resist disasters.

Although the emperor is not so arrogant that he thinks he is a rare and wise king, he is much stronger than the previous generations of monarchs.

In the past few decades of his rule, the Great Xia Dynasty has already shown signs of revival.Military generals guard the frontiers and deter enemies from outside the territory, and there have been few battles.As for the national power, except for the fact that the treasury has been increasingly empty due to the prince's disturbance in the past ten years, the rest is not bad, and it can be called the well-being of the people.

In several states and counties under his rule, such words of slandering the king came out, which made the emperor extremely angry.The emperor didn't even try to cover up these rumors. In fact, even if he wanted to cover up, he might not be able to cover up.

He passed on the four elders of the pavilion, the prince, the king of Yu, the minister of the household department, and the two ministers, to the hall of Qinzheng.

The emperor was so angry that he directly smashed the secret paper presented by Li Mian on Shiqing's head: "Please take a good look at what is written in it. Please sort out the taxes in Yuanzhou area in the past few years for me." , and then compare it with the taxation situation 20 years ago. Bring it to the court and tell me what is going on with this tyrannical taxation? I want to see how harshly I treat my subjects!"

Yu Shiqing didn't dare to hide at all, and honestly endured this blow.He hurriedly straightened his hat, and hurriedly held the secret fold in his hands, not daring to look at it, kept kowtowing, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down."

My family knew about my family affairs, so Yu Shiqing naturally knew that the court built the track for three consecutive years.

In the first year, iron rails were used. Although the cost was high, most of the iron materials were accumulated by the imperial court over the years.Even if Fu Wang took this opportunity to mine and smelt a large amount, it would not be the main cost.

The cost of building wooden tracks last year has been much less.The number of civilians used in track construction has also been greatly reduced.Not only do they not need to provide food and lodging for these peasant husbands, but also when these people return to their hometowns, they can engage in farming and make their own livelihoods, which does not greatly delay the livelihood of the people.

This year is also the same. The stewards for the construction and laying of wooden tracks are mainly people from Prince Yu's Mansion.Again, the cost is not very high.
