Chapter 255
Chen Youxin chatted happily with Lu Xiaoniu and Lin Xian here, but Fan Xing, who was watching from a distance across the lotus pond, was unhappy.

"Hmph, it's just a countryman, but it's worth letting Chen Youxin make friends with such a self-deprecating status? I don't know if he has lost his mind recently!"

The face of the young servant who followed immediately changed: "Master, be careful with your words, be careful that the walls have ears."

Chen Youxin froze for a moment, then looked around casually, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, no one is here."

"My lord, you read your sage books, and you don't have to pay too much attention to those rural folks."

The servant is also afraid at the moment, the young lady had an accident before, and none of the maids and women who followed her escaped the fate of being punished. If something happened to the young master, the master would be the first to ask He is the one to be punished!

That Mr. Chen is not easy to mess with.

Don't look at people being low-key, but that's because they are humble in words and deeds, which doesn't mean they can be arranged at will.

The Fan family has no chance of winning against the Chen family.

The small Gaoyang County is not considered a rich place, but it may not be without noble people.

Even Mr. Hong, whom Fan Xing looked down upon, had a background.

After all, Fan Xing still cared about his identity here, and he didn't take the initiative to go to find them unhappy.

It's just that in the following poems and fuss, I still couldn't help but uttered a few words of sarcasm, except for a few people who loved to support him and echoed a few words, the others just didn't hear it.

And when Lu Xiaoniu wanted to argue with him, Lin Xian held his arm and shook his head slightly.

No need!
Lu Xiaoniu thought so too, there is no need to cause trouble for himself because of his quick tongue, after all, he has no fame now, and it is not the time for him to stand out.

Chen Youxin saw that these two were being ridiculed but could still hold their breath, so he couldn't help giving them another high-level look.

Especially for Lu Jianwen, that is, Lu Xiaoniu, he was even more surprised.

After all, Lin Xian's family background is not good, and he must have been looked down upon by others since he was a child, but Lu Jianwen is different!

He was weak since he was a child, and his family background was not good, but now his family is rich, he has a school boy by his side, and he has no worries about food and clothing, yet he can still bear this breath. It's not easy!
You must know that people who get rich suddenly have such a temperament that it is easy to get restless.

But this young master Lu didn't have it, which really surprised him.

Fan Xing didn't know that he had been ridiculing these two people all the time, but Chen Youxin paid more attention to them.

After the Dutch essay appreciation meeting ended, Lu Xiaoniu took Ah Qing back to Lu's Village.

Now Lu Daxiong is basically running back and forth with horses, and the mule cart at home is idle. It just so happens that Lu Xiaoniu has a literary meeting today, so he directly asked Liangzi to drive them over.

Wang originally thought that it would be enough to let Wang Erzhong or Lu Xiaoniu drive the car, but Chen Xingyan said that the journey was far away, and if he came back late, it would always be safer to have someone who knows kung fu follow him.

Wang thought about it too. She didn't consider this level before because she never had the self-awareness of being a "rich person".

Now being reminded by Chen Xingyan, he thinks that Lu Xiaoniu is now a young master, so he has to pay more attention to safety.

It was late afternoon when Lu Xiaoniu arrived home. Lunch was served at Chen Youxin's Zhuangzi. The food and drinks were good, but Lu Xiaoniu always kept in mind his sister-in-law's advice to drink less, mainly to understand his body. influential.

Lu Xiaoniu has been weak since he was a child, and he also knows what his body is like.

Although he can study and take the exam now, but compared with his big brother, he is simply a weak chicken.

I can't do heavy work, the key is that I don't have much strength yet!
I'm so pissed!
While eating melons, Chen Xingyan and Lu Xiaoniu listened to Wang's talk about this year's harvest, and said that this year's winter might be difficult.

This year's harvest is indeed a bit small, more than [-]% less than last year.

The point is that this is not considered a catastrophe, so the court will not reduce or exempt taxes.

Their family is fine, they don’t need to pay taxes, but what about other common people’s families?
"Mother, don't think about it too much. We should say that every family in our village can eat enough now, right? Even if there is less food, everyone has money in their hands, so we won't be hungry. .”

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "That's true, but the problem is that the price of grain has already started to rise. Today I heard from sister Qi that every grain in the town's grain shop has increased by a penny."

Don't underestimate this penny, but you can buy two vegetarian buns!
Chen Xingyan lowered his brows slightly, and asked after a while: "Xiao Niu, you are a scholar, you are going to gain fame in the future, and you also want to do some practical things for the country and the people, so that you can truly display your ambitions and grand plans. If you were the county magistrate, how would you respond to this matter?"

Lu Xiaoniu was obviously stunned, he had never learned this question before!

This is obviously beyond the scope of his knowledge!
Chen Xingyan was not in a hurry, he put the melon rind on the side tray, then got up and went to the side basin to wash his hands slowly.

Mrs. Wang looked at this, then that, and seemed to understand, and said expectantly: "Xiao Niu, if you were an official, would you help these common people?"

This question is much simpler.

Lu Xiaoniu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

"Well, how can you help?"

Lu Xiaoniu was silent again.

What he is learning now is the words of some sages. As for how to control the national economy and the people's livelihood, he does not have the ability.

Lu Xiaoniu looked puzzled, "I have read so many books, but I don't know, so I asked my sister-in-law to explain it to me."

Chen Xingyan smiled, "The people's livelihood is indeed a big problem. You don't study much now, so you may not have learned some sage's words, and you don't have to blame yourself. You can discuss it with your classmates and friends. , and then go to the street market to inquire about the prices, and then go to see how the grain grows from the ground and how it reaches your table, and you should gain something."

Of course, Chen Xingyan knew the key to this kind of problem.

It's just that she can't tell Lu Xiaoniu directly.

There are some things that he has to explore by himself and ask clearly word by word, so that he can truly grow up.

Lu Xiaoniu seemed to understand, then got up and gave her a deep bow: "Thank you sister-in-law for your guidance, Maverick has been taught!"

It seemed that Chen Xingyan did not point out the specific method and strategy, but in fact, she told her where to start.

After all, food is the most important thing.

And this grain has many possibilities from its output to transportation to the final production of various refined and coarse grains!
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoniu's eyes became brighter.

"Thank you sister-in-law, I seem to have a clue!"
