Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 64
"Not at all." Mu Jiuyuan replied sincerely.

So far, more than half of his life has been spent in the palace, and a small half of his time has been spent in fiefs with fertile land and rich products.

"In this world, there are few honest officials but many corrupt officials. We ordinary people don't know how much money is in the treasury, but the disaster relief funds distributed are definitely not enough for the people to survive. Corrupt officials will exploit them layer by layer. The food in the hands of the common people is pitifully small," Su Yaoxue sighed, "One catty of grain can be exchanged for three catties of bran for the animals. If the bran is distributed to the common people, then more lives can be saved People, but they are detrimental to the country, right?"

Mu Jiuyuan nodded approvingly, never expecting her to think so far.

That's right, she is the one who can say "build a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the common people, create peace for all generations, and inherit the best knowledge for the sage".

"Then, what do you think about cooperating with Qianzhuang?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Jiuyuan didn't understand for a moment.

"If you put the imperial court's disaster relief funds into the bank and walk around, you can make money from money. However, once it is investigated, it will be a serious crime." Su Yaoxue reached out and knocked on the counter table, and said seriously, "I once I heard people say that the people in the calamity year are no longer human beings, they are no different from animals, otherwise they would not do the thing of changing their sons and eating them. Although it is harmful to the country to replace grains with bran, it can save more lives , Moreover, officials only like rice, and they don't like bran.

"Giving a part of the money to corrupt officials to fill their stomachs, and then exchanging the rest of the money for bran can save more people. This is a good thing. Otherwise, if the disaster is not fair, riots will happen. The contradictions of the bottom power class will turn into contradictions with the entire ruling class, and by then, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Mu Jiuyuan was silent, of course he understood the truth.

"But the problem is that supporting corrupt officials will damage the foundation of the country, and confronting corrupt officials will lead to riots that are hard to quell," Su Yaoxue pondered, "I don't know what you think?"

The secret guards hiding in the dark were all sweating together.

Is this question too difficult?
Mu Jiuyuan smiled lightly, shining like a spring lake in the south of the Yangtze River where the ice and snow had just melted. He did not perfunctory Su Yaoxue, but answered this question seriously: "It has nothing to do with Guozuo, but it is the most important thing. It’s just a political game between the people above and the local corrupt bureaucrats, and the temporary maintenance of stability will bury hidden dangers like an avalanche.”

These words hit the nail on the head, but they were also terribly thoughtful.

It is indeed an effective way to throw the disaster relief money into the money bank for profit, but what about next time?

In order to get more money, the officials prolong the period of revolving interest. When the disaster victims are almost dead, they are willing to exchange money for chaff. Isn't the consequence even more disastrous?
Su Yaoxue was startled into a cold sweat, and just as she was about to say something more, Ah Qing broke in panting.

"It's not good! Master! It's not good! Your brother was taken away by the young master of the Shunchang Escort Bureau!"

"What?" Su Yaoxue was shocked, "How dare you rob people in broad daylight? Is there any law?"

Ah Qing rubbed his shoulder that was hurt and said: "After the young master Ah Yuan bought the medicine, he was about to come back when he was spotted by the young master of the Shunchang Escort who was wandering in the street. Because of his habit of sleeves and the fact that he brought a lot of people, he wanted to kidnap young master A Yuan in the street, I just happened to encounter this, so I came out to stop him, and in the end, I was beaten up by their people."

"It's so unreasonable!" Su Yaoxue was furious, she squeezed her knuckles, "I'm going to meet them!"

"You must not go there! Xiaodong, although you have a bit of kung fu, there are several bodyguards in the Shunchang Bodyguard Agency who are hired from the world. They have internal strength, and you are not their opponent. !” Ah Qing hurriedly stopped her.

"Inner strength? I've never heard of what that is!" Su Yaoxue snorted coldly, "Ah Qing, ask Mrs. Song's wife next door to take care of Mi Xing for us. Let's go to the Shunchang Escort Bureau now."

Saying that, Su Yaoxue looked back at Mu Jiuyuan again: "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry. However, you don't have to feel restrained, you can still stay in the store and wait for someone."

"Let me go with you," Mu Jiuyuan stood up, walked to her side, and picked up the umbrella on the counter, "You have given me an umbrella, but now that my benefactor is in trouble, how can I just stand by and watch?" ?”

In fact, counting forward, there is still life-saving grace.

It's just that Mu Jiuyuan didn't dare to say it.

After all, the life-saving grace that time allowed him to see her secret.

"It's nothing more than lending you an umbrella. However, you can go with me, and you can give me power. But, if there is a fight in a while, you should stand far away, and don't be accidentally injured. It's gone." Su Yaoxue warned.

Her simple concern caused another ripple in Mu Jiuyuan's heart.

Ah Qing went to the wife of Boss Song next door, and asked her to come over to look at the shop, and then led the two of them quickly towards the Shunchang Escort Bureau.

Mu Jiuyuan walked beside Su Yaoxue, holding the umbrella firmly on top of her head along the way.

She was shrouded in shadow, but he was completely exposed to the scorching sun.

She didn't notice this because she was worried about her brother.

The hidden guards hiding in the dark were filled with emotion.

This is the first time in the master's life that he has held an umbrella for someone else, and he didn't care about being exposed to the sun.

The master who used to have no faith, after meeting her, began to regard her as a pious belief. He was willing to be a quiet mud under the water, just because this flower can reveal its fragrance and bloom freely.

After half a stick of incense, the three of them arrived in front of the Shunchang Escort.

There was a bodyguard who was ordering goods at the door of the bodyguard agency. When the bodyguard saw Ah Qing, he frowned and stopped him: "Boy, haven't you been beaten enough? Do you still want to be beaten?" ?”

Su Yaoxue pulled Ah Qing behind her and looked at the bodyguard: "Have you ever hit him?"

"That's right," the bodyguard snorted coldly, and looked at her contemptuously, "Why? He hired a little girl like you to support the situation? Do you think we are scared? Little girl, you hurry up, This is not the place for you to come."

"Hahahaha..." All the bodyguards around laughed loudly.

They didn't classify Mu Jiuyuan and Su Yaoxue and Ah Qing into the same group of people, they only thought that the unparalleled Mu Jiuyuan was a pure passerby.

With the identities of these two ordinary people, how could they be able to climb up to such a noble son?

"Who else beat him?" Su Yaoxue asked seriously, ignoring the ridicule.
