Poor family mother and son

Chapter 456

Last year's flood disaster had little impact on the north, so the Changping warehouses in the north were relatively full, but many corrupt officials were also detected.

And the common people feel at ease, get rid of these corrupt officials, even if the harvest is not good this year, they will not starve to death, the state can provide relief.

The Changping warehouses in the south are the most problematic. Excluding the relief grain that was provided to flood-stricken areas last year, almost all Changping warehouses have bottomed out.

In the name of disaster relief, many officials resold stored grain and emptied the granary.

All these officials were escorted back to the Ministry of Punishment, and their family properties were confiscated and replaced with food for disaster relief, which solved the urgent need in the southern region.

As for those grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who are hoarding grains, on the one hand, they have Changping warehouses in the north to support them, which has an impact on them. No huge profits were made.

The continuous turning action caused chaos in Jiangnan for a while, mainly because the various families were in chaos.

First of all, those officials who were escorted to Beijing had their children or relatives and friends, so that they lost a certain degree of power.

Secondly, the loss of power is compensated by money, because the food they hoarded is sold, although it is not a huge profit, but it is also higher than the market price.

From another point of view, the money they invested in officialdom earned back from food, and what they lost was part of the benefits in officialdom.

Fortunately, this kind of loss is still within their tolerance, so it did not cause turmoil in the entire Jiangnan.

From the emperor's point of view, most of the family's minions at the end of the officialdom have been eliminated, and there should be better implementation of government orders in the future.

Like this year, the situation where the emperor took measures early but it was difficult to implement them locally will improve.

Chu Qing checked all the business of his own in New Lunzhou, and waited until Zhuo Yao came back before running to the "old leader" to talk about the past.

It was really because the boys at the warehouse told her that Song Tingshan and Baihua stayed in the south every day and would not come back, and that there was a plague of poultry and livestock there.

Chu Qing didn't want to "add trouble"—cause trouble for himself, and didn't visit until he heard that they were going back to their respective yamen.

It was Song Tingshan who went to visit first, but he didn't expect that Bai Hua was also there.

Alas, it's true that people have the final say on their territory, and what Chu Qing inquired about was that Bai Hua was at the director's office, but in the end, he was still nesting with Song Tingshan.

"Hehe, I don't need to run errands anymore, I've seen you all!" Chu Qing laughed.

Bai Hua glared at her: "Come here less! You didn't look for me after you came back and wandered enough, but you came to see Lao Song first, which shows that you are not sincere to me!"

Chu Qing: "Old Song, he is sticking out!"

Song Tingshan: "Sit, sit, you've become a rare guest."

Chu Qing pushed the two jars of wine in front of Song Tingshan and Bai Hua: "It's just right, one jar for each person, no fighting!"

Song Tingshan smiled and pointed at Bai Hua: "Fortunately, the two altars belong to me!"

Chu Qing wanted to slip away: "Is it the right time for me to come? You two should be busy with business first, I'll come back later."

Song Tingshan waved his hand: "You came just in time, don't leave!"

Chu Qing immediately declared: "I don't know anything, I don't understand, I can't help it! It's okay to eat, don't talk about business!"

Chu Qing's meaning of "hanging high" is very clear: they are all from the secret investigators, who hasn't checked the source of the information yet?Take care of the affairs of your territory yourself, don't involve me!
Bai Hua: "I just told you that today's business is not only good for you, but you also took advantage of it?"

Eh?Take advantage?You have to listen!

Chu Qing moved the chair in front of them and sat down.

A pair of official hat chairs next to the table of the Eight Immortals, it is just right for the two of them to sit and talk, one on the left and the other on the right. sense of sight.

Chu Qing: "Why is it cheap, tell me!"

Song Tingshan couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you for a while, Mr. Chu looks more and more like a young man!"

What an evaluation this is!
Bai Hua and Song Tingshan looked at each other, Song Tingshan nodded: "It's just right."

Bai Hua went out and explained something to the people outside, then came back, with an expression of "we'll have a good show later" on his face.

Chu Qing didn't like to move when she sat down, she just didn't care, and just chatted with the two of them.

Song Tingshan said: "In a moment, please meet an old friend."

Chu Qing: "Old friend? Who is it?"

After Chu Qing thought about it, he didn't have any old friends. He had just returned from Jizhou, and the only "old friends" he could meet were these two.

By the way, Wei Chengyi, I haven't seen him for a long time.

Just in time, Chu Qing wanted to test how much Wei Chengyi knew about his life experience, and whether he knew that he had a father like Shui Mao Mao.

Although Shui Maomao didn't say that he wanted to recognize his son back, as long as the son is alive and safe, but, "the son wants to support him, but he doesn't want to be loved." If Shui Maomao really disappears one day, Wei Chengyi knows that he has a father again, will it be possible? Sad?

As soon as I thought about it, I heard Wei Chengyi's voice from behind the door: "Master Song, Lord Bai!"

Chu Qing turned around and saw Wei Chengyi, before he could say hello, Wei Chengyi had already bowed to Chu Qing again: "Lord Chu!"

Alas, the official rank, originally wanted to get close, and said to Wei Chengyi: "I found your father!" As a result, this sentence "Master Chu" opened up a lot of distance.

Official position is sometimes a disappointment.

After saying hello, Wei Chengyi said to the door: "Bring it up!"

Two yamen servants brought in a middle-aged man and woman.

The two were dragged in by two yamen, and they seemed to have changed their clothes temporarily. The kneeling posture was changed to kneeling, obviously because of the board.

Looking at Song Tingshan and Bai Hua's expressions of "the gift box has arrived, quickly open it and have a look"; although Wei Chengyi still kept his poker face stiff as always, but there was a smile in his eyes, Chu Qing felt baffled: "These two people who?"

Song Tingshan shouted majestically at the pair of men and women: "Raise your head!" The two raised their faces tremblingly.

Chu Qing sat directly in front of the Eight Immortals Table, that is, with his back to the door, so he was the closest to these two people. After looking carefully, he felt as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Can't help asking: "What's your name?"

Although the two people raised their faces, they didn't dare to look at Chu Qing, they just replied tremblingly: "My lord, the villain's name is Fang Yan, and this is the villain's daughter-in-law, Fang Liushi."

Fang Yan, Fang Liu, who are you?do not know.

Chu Qing turned around to look at Song Tingshan and Bai Hua suspiciously, they just looked back at her with a smile, and then turned back to look at Wei Chengyi, Wei Chengyi also looked at her with a smile.

Chu Qing: "What charades are you playing? Who are these two?"

Bai Hua was a little puzzled: "You don't know him? Take a closer look?"

Chu Qing took a closer look: "It looks familiar, but I don't know it. Who are they, and what happened?"

　Guess who these two are?
