Chapter 410
Many inquiries have failed, so instead of investigating again, it is better to ask directly.

It was also a coincidence today that he saw the scene of officials bullying others. If he didn't understand clearly, he would not sleep peacefully tonight.

Du Rongshan straightened his back unconsciously when he saw that the behavior of the two was unusual, but in the end he just shook his head, "It won't change anything if you say it, so you better stop asking, my lord, so as not to increase the trouble."

According to the usual behavior of these people, they probably won't come again within half a month, but they don't know who the next unlucky person will be.

"That's wrong," Xiao Rongxi retorted, "You haven't said it yet, how do you know I don't have a solution?"

Du Rongshan: "How can I wait for the little people to resist the things above? It's better to turn a blind eye and close one eye. At least I can live now, and I haven't reached the point where I have to go."

In the past few years, anyone who has any ability has left Jincheng. On the one hand, it is due to the climate, and on the other hand, it is due to the way the government behaves.

If you stay here all the time, you will always be oppressed by your superiors.

Talented people can't see hope, so they will naturally find another way out; the rest, either their ancestors have lived here for generations and don't want to leave, or they really can't leave their family property and can't leave.

Seeing that he was young and thought he was an ambitious person, Du Rongshan couldn't bear to extinguish his enthusiasm, so he persuaded, "It's a good thing for the young master to speak for the people, but here, it's best to put your own safety first."

Xiao Rongxi could hear his distrust of him, chuckled lightly, stroked the rim of the cup and did not speak again.

On the contrary, Xiao Er looked anxious and tugged on Du Rongshan's sleeve, "Shopkeeper, but there is no way for us to swallow our anger like this. People's desires are endless. He got a piece of silver today, and he wants it tomorrow." Ten ingots, and I want a hundred ingots in the future... It's better to fight, maybe you can break a way!"

Anyway, he has no family and no job, and he is not afraid of those who wear shoes when they are barefoot. As long as someone takes the lead in rebellion, he dares to follow.

"It's not as easy as you think..."

Before Du Rongshan could finish his sentence, the second child directly took over the conversation and said to Xiao Rongxi, "My lord, I don't know. Our Jincheng is often affected by drought, but the problem is not big in previous years, and this year is probably going to be very difficult."

Xiao Rongxi turned to face him, "The government doesn't do anything?"

"That's not accurate."

"Then what should be understood?"

Xiao Er: "I have taken actions, but nothing has been achieved. It is all superficial effort. Last year, I also distributed rice porridge, but it was full of sand and stones, which was really hard to swallow. Then Jia Jin was still showing off his might all day long, talking to the old man. It's like walking on the street, seeing a dog and wanting to kick it twice, so as to show his status..."

Seeing that Xiaoer became more and more excited as he talked, and was about to start scolding, Du Rongshan quickly stopped him, "Let me say it."

Under the watchful eyes of Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen, he cleared his throat and said, "The two of you just saw that Jia Jin's approach was acquiesced by He Tingzhi and his superiors. After all, many benefits will eventually flow to him. .”

"The people don't fight with officials, they are greedy for petty gains on weekdays, and everyone puts up with it, and treats it as a waste of money to eliminate disasters. But in the past few years, everyone's life has become more and more difficult. There is not much food left at home, and a grain of rice can't be broken. Eat in half, how can there be extra money to 'honor' these people?"

"I thought they would understand everyone's difficulties and restrain themselves a little bit. Who would have thought that they would intensify their efforts under such a shortage of food, so..."

"So you came up with the idea of ​​using the bandits' name to preserve food and protect the children in the city?" Xiao Rongxi said suddenly.

Du Rongshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded sincerely, "So the young master has already seen it."
