Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law was afraid that Yu Xiaolian would refuse, so she quickly took out a ten tael silver ingot from her pocket, "Xiao Lian, if my parents are alive, you can give them the silver; Give the silver to my eldest brother, that is, the father of Manying's daughter-in-law. If you can't find my eldest brother, you can also give it to my eldest nephew.

Alas, now that we are living in Yuzhou, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I miss them in my heart. In my dream, they are all in trouble. It just so happens that you want to go back, so you can bring me ten taels of silver Go to them! "

In fact, Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law didn't plan to take the money out by herself at the beginning. Anyway, Yu Xiaolian had all the money. After Su Jingchen became an official there, he had a servant under his command, so he sent someone to Erdaobaozi to send dozens of money. Two silver coins, isn't that a trivial matter?
The reason why Mrs. Li brought over ten taels of silver was because her eldest daughter-in-law, her own niece Mrs. Li, insisted on letting her take it.

In the words of Sun Manying's daughter-in-law, even if you take the money, Yu Xiaolian may not be willing to meddle in this matter. If you don't want to take the money, they will definitely not take care of it.

In fact, Yu Xiaolian was really too lazy to take care of it, but she couldn't afford to refuse this matter, because people came to her door one after another.

Sun Daji's wife, Sun Erji's wife, and Sun Sanji's wife came, and after a while, Sun Mantao's wife and Sun Manbo's wife also came.

These people seem to have been negotiated, and they are all to send money to relatives in the Northland.

By herself, Yu Xiaolian could still say no, but with so many people begging her, she couldn't say no at all.

Yu Xiaolian simply went back to the house and called Su Jingchen out, and asked him to remember the names and addresses of those relatives, so that she would not forget everything when she turned her head.

Su Jingchen polished the ink well, and the daughters-in-law of the Sun family lined up consciously, one by one, they mentioned their parents' names, which village did they live in?Whether he lives at the head of the village or at the end of the village, he explained everything in detail. Sun Manbo's wife even explained clearly that her father has a long-haired mole on his chin.

Without exception, all these families left money for Yu Xiaolian, some ten taels, some five taels, only Sun Manbo's wife left the least, only two taels of silver.

After everyone dispersed, Yu Xiaolian put the silver and Su Jingchen's booklet into the space and put them on the cash register.

Yu Xiaolian sighed, "Oh, I can really find a job for myself!"

Not to mention anything else, she would probably have to work hard for a while on the job of sending money. It would be fine if she found someone smoothly, but if she didn't find someone, it would be a trouble.

"Do you still have to do it yourself?" Su Jingchen said, "I'll find a few people to handle it for you!"

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "Forget it, I'm idle anyway, I don't feel relieved to let other people handle this matter!"

In other people's words, who knows if the money ended up in the hands of those relatives of the Sun family?
Although Su Jingchen is the parent officer of Yangcheng County, he is a newcomer, and he doesn't know whether those officials and yamen servants will accept him. After all, in the eyes of those old officials, Su Jingchen is just a 20-year-old child.

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian insisted on this, Su Jingchen stopped saying anything.

Yu Changhe asked Sun, "Why didn't the second and third daughter-in-laws come?"

Sun said, "Maybe the matter was entrusted to Wulin's daughter-in-law."

Yu Changhe frowned, "Why don't Man Tao's daughter-in-law and the others ask Wulin's daughter-in-law to pick it up?"

Sun said helplessly, "Chicks don't pee, each has its own way!"

Yu Changhe tilted his head and thought for a while, but he didn't quite understand the meaning of Sun's words, so he ran to his daughter to ask for an explanation.

Yu Changhe only had to give Yu Xiaolian a puzzled look, and Yu Xiaolian immediately understood.

"It's possible that they usually don't get along with Gao Shi and don't trust Gao Shi.

Or maybe they think I can better help their natal family.

After all, if I send money, they will know why I came to Yangcheng, and when they know that Su Jingchen is the county magistrate of Yangcheng, they will be considered to have the help of relatives who are officials. "

Yu Xiaolian didn't go too far, but Yu Changhe understood what she said in no time.

"Pity, we'll just be responsible for delivering the money. Don't say anything else, don't talk about Jing Chen being an official, and don't give them your address, lest a large group of people come to your door and drive you away. They can't be driven away, and they can't be beaten.

If they want to come to Yuzhou, you can tell them to come to Taohua Village, we are not afraid of trouble, just don't cause trouble for you and Jing Chen! "Yu Changhe said earnestly.

Yu Xiaolian smiled, and obediently responded, "Understood, Dad!"

Although these daughter-in-laws of the Sun family all gave money to their parents and brothers, they never said that they would let their parents and brothers come to seek refuge. After all, if all these foreign relatives were brought in, the men in the family would definitely have opinions, and no one would If you are willing to make a bunch of poor relatives and offer them up as living ancestors, if you can bring money back, you have already fulfilled the greatest filial piety of these daughter-in-laws.

The next day, Yu Xiaolian went to Luocheng, said goodbye to Mrs. Ying, Lu Manluo and Zhao Biaotou, and then went to Zhenpin Pavilion, leaving Zhao Sanya behind, and asked Zhao Erya, who was the older sister, to give Sanya Find a good family to marry.

Yu Xiaolian had already returned the deeds of the two sisters when they married Sun Mancang, and now she has no shortage of maids around, and there are maids in Daqiao Hutong. Su Jingchen decided this time All the people from Daqiao Hutong were brought along, and only one old man was left to guard the courtyard.

On the last night in Los Angeles, it was in Xiangyang Lane, where Sun Shi and Yu Changhe were also there.

Sun Wulin's daughter-in-law brought Sun Manyue and Sun Mansheng to live next door to Yu Xiaolian's room, so they could set off together tomorrow morning.

Even though Yu Xiaolian hoped that time would pass more slowly, it was still time to set off. After Su Jingchen waited until Li Wenyuan, he set off with a convoy. Mrs. Sun dragged Yu Xiaolian to bid farewell. Yu Ziqian and Yu Zixuan were not sad at all. They thought that their sister was still the same as before and would come back after a while.

Yu Xiaolian asked Mrs. Gao to take Sun Manyue and Sun Mansheng into the car. Before getting on the bus, Mrs. Gao looked around, as if expecting Sun Manqing to see her off, but she didn't expect her eldest son until Li Wenyuan arrived in Xinghua Village , I can't help but feel a little sad.

Seeing that the sky was bright and the sun was about to rise, Mrs. Sun no longer held Yu Xiaolian's hand, but urged her to get in the car quickly.

Yu Xiaolian stayed up almost all night last night, and not long after getting into the carriage, she leaned on Su Jingchen's shoulder and fell asleep drowsily.

In order to get to Yangcheng as soon as possible, they almost traveled day and night, and it took them nearly two months to reach Yangcheng.

The first thing they did when they arrived was to go to the Yangcheng county government office to find the Yangcheng county magistrate, and take out their appointment documents and the county magistrate's identity.

The county seat of Yangcheng County is a man in his 50s with a slightly funny mustache, whose surname is Qian.

Qian Xiancheng is not an ordinary person. Ever since he won the Juren, he has been working in Yangcheng. He has served countless county magistrates.

It can be said that the magistrate of the flowing water, the county magistrate of iron.

In the next few days, Su Jingchen found out that in some respects, this Qian Xiancheng had a higher voice than him.

Su Jingchen just arrived here for the first time, and wanted to get to know all the clerks and servants in the government office, and explain the rules and methods of doing things in the future. Su Jingchen explained this matter to Qian Xiancheng, but he didn't want Qian Xiancheng to directly refute Su Jingchen's order, saying At present, several villages near Yangcheng have an epidemic, and people from the county government have been sent out.

"Oh, what did you send them out for?" Su Jingchen could tell that Qian Xiancheng was bullying him when he was young because of his age!

Qian Xiancheng said unhurriedly, "Naturally, we will set up barriers in the villages with plague, surround the villages, and prevent the people inside from coming out.

If those sick people were allowed to come out casually, wouldn't it infect more people! "

Qian Xiancheng's attitude of teaching Su Jingchen how to do things made Su Jingchen very unhappy.

"Apart from these, what other measures has Mr. Qian taken to deal with the epidemic?"

Qian Xiancheng has been the county magistrate for more than ten years, so he naturally understood what Su Jingchen was asking, he sighed heavily, and said, "Of course I want to help the people who have suffered from the plague, but our Yangcheng county government is poor now. , there is not a penny in the account, and even the monthly salary of the yamen servants has not been paid for a long time.

Alas, I'm also a clever woman who can't cook without rice!

But fortunately, Mr. Su, you are here. You are this year's champion of the new department, a great talent, and you have a way to help the common people. I will rely on Mr. Su's opinion. "

Hmph, anyway, there is no penny in the county government account, and I still owe money to a few wealthy businessmen in the city. I want to see a 20-year-old boy, what can I do?
Su Jingchen called Li Wenyuan and asked him to take out the county government's account books and check them one by one.

Since Li Wenyuan came into contact with Yu Xiaolian, he has also developed a strong interest in mathematics, and he is naturally not a problem with account books.

It was only when Li Wenyuan looked at the account books of the county government that his brows furrowed deeply.

"Why is this account book so chaotic?" It was like a mess, making it impossible to understand.

After hearing Li Wenyuan's words, Qian Xiancheng showed a hint of complacency on his face!
Just to make chaos, just to make it impossible for you to reconcile accounts!

The county government's account book owed nearly 600 taels of silver. He didn't believe that Su Jingchen would be willing to take money from his own pocket to fill the account?
Who came to be a county magistrate not to make money, but to pay for it?

But if Su Jingchen wanted to secure the county magistrate, the first step was to balance the accounts.

After the balance of the account, there must be a surplus in the account, so that orders can be issued to satisfy the county magistrate, otherwise he can guarantee that none of the yamen servants and yamen servants are willing to listen to Su Jingchen's orders.

Thinking of this, Qian Xiancheng couldn't help but feel even more proud.

The salary of this seventh-rank official is only 45 taels of silver, and the salary at the end of the year is more than 120 taels.

The public fee given by the imperial court is even less, eight taels of silver per month. To be honest, if this does not exploit the people and those wealthy businessmen, these eight taels of silver are not good for anything.

"Call them back!" Su Jingchen looked at the chaotic account book that Li Wenyuan handed over, and threw the account book directly and accurately at Qian Xiancheng's face.

Qian Xiancheng was originally waiting for Su Jingchen to speak soft words to him and beg him, but he didn't want Su Jingchen to directly step on his face under the soles of his shoes.

Oh, young and vigorous, right?I want to make you regret it.

"What is the county magistrate doing? The money owed on the account is not my shortfall. I have limited ability, so I have tried my best to make up for it." Seeing Su Jingchen being so overwhelmed, Qian Xiancheng was even happier. Usually this kind of young people, The best thing to do.

Wait for me to dampen your spirit so that you can beg me, without me, you won't even be able to collect the autumn grain tax, hum!
"The monthly money for yamen servants and yamen servants is issued by the imperial court on a monthly basis. Why do you owe them money in the account? Please explain!"

Su Jingchen simply turned cold. If he didn't show some attitude, Qian Xiancheng, an old fritter, would not be afraid of him at all.

"It's not spring, people from the household department come to collect tax money. Our Yangcheng is suffering a serious population loss, and the tax money can't be collected at all. But the imperial court gave us a hard target. If we don't pay enough, we can't do it. There is no way. The big guys got together and sent the adults from the household department away.

Just like this, I even posted my own monthly salary upside down, which was not recorded in the book. Alas, I wanted to do good deeds without leaving my name, but I didn't want to be misunderstood and suspected by Mr. Su! "

Qian Xiancheng put on a sad look on the surface, but in fact he was complacent about his ability to perfectly cope with Su Jingchen's various questions.

Su Jingchen sneered, "Really? Then wait for me to check the tax books, so that I can pay back the money and you will be innocent." Although Su Jingchen has never been a county magistrate and has no experience in this field, when he was in Luo City, the head of Min Fengyi's family, Mr. Liu, Bo Heimin Fengyi's report, he listened to every word.

The land area of ​​Luocheng is about the same as that of Yangcheng. Although the land of Luocheng is collected twice a year, the county government still keeps a large amount of tax and grain after the people pay them a year.

It's fine if they didn't keep it, but they still owe 600 taels of silver, which is very unreasonable. If there is nothing tricky about it, Su Jingchen won't believe it!

Qian Xiancheng heard that Su Jingchen was going to thoroughly check all the account books, and smiled slightly, not flustered at all, "If these account books are calculated one by one, it will probably take several days, thank you sir."

Su Jingchen closed his eyes slightly, "I'd like to ask Mr. Qian to come and gather everyone in the county office tomorrow morning. I have something to say. If anyone fails to come for some reason, then I'm sorry, and I have no choice but to relieve him of his errand.

As you can see, I brought a lot of people here, and there is no shortage of people to order! "

Qian Xiancheng was very angry at Su Jingchen's words, but no matter how unconvinced he was, he had to nod in response.

There's no way, the official rank crushes people to death!
If his relatives lost their jobs in a muddleheaded manner, his house would be quite lively.

That's right, since the previous county magistrate in Yangcheng died unexpectedly, the county magistrate's position has been vacant for more than half a year. Qian Xiancheng has long replaced the county magistrate with his own people. In addition to these yamen servants and yamen servants, there are also the county yamen's doormen and watchmen, Wu Zuo and Ma Kuai, bearers and Kuding, etc., as long as they can be changed, he has changed his people.
