A small peasant girl

Chapter 192 Responsibilities and Obligations

After a while, the news of the official renting of the yamen was posted all over the town, and the yamen servants walked around the streets beating drums and gongs, fearing that the common people would not know about it.

But the common people waited and watched with a dubious attitude, and they talked about it in private. Most of the comments thought that the yamen was trying to cheat money again, and they were not very interested.

Liu Kangtu was different. He took the money from Wenzi, went directly to the renting place, asked the yamen servants to book two shops, and specially asked them to help open the two shops without a partition wall in between.

The monthly rent for the two shops is [-] Wen, and the half-year deposit paid in advance is only [-] Wen. The small amount of money is not too embarrassing for the second room now.

"Big brother, did you just book a shop from inside?" Passer-by A saw Liu Kangtu go in with money, and when he came out, he came out with a contract in his face, and continued to say with a curious tone in doubt: "This matter about the yamen Is it really reliable? Don’t come up with some moths to cheat our money.”

"Uncle, look at the seal of the government on this contract. One is one, the other is two. You can't be wrong." Liu Kangtu was afraid that the uncle in front of him would not believe him, so he hurriedly spread out the contract in his hand to the onlookers, lest they I couldn't understand the doorway, so I patiently explained: "The county master wrote a memorial and went up to ask for instructions, but the imperial court appropriated the money, and few of the yamen actually got it, so the rent money was handed over to the yamen in advance for easy use. It was built for the bazaar. After the bazaar is built, the shop will be yours for half a year. If you really want to renew the lease, you can go to the yamen one month in advance to go through the formalities, and it will not take any trouble at all."

"Big Brother, is there any reason for this shop with a rent of three hundred renminbi a month?" Passer-by B heard Liu Kangtu's words and interjected with reservations: "Don't be a new trick created by the yamen. We ordinary people can give it to you." I'm so scared, the former county lord also 'borrowed' a lot of money from my pocket under the slogan of serving the people."

"Yeah, I was so miserable that time. I didn't eat meat for a whole year." Passer-by C continued with emotion, "Besides, the shop worth [-] yuan, don't let it be piled up with weeds, will even be eaten by then." No one can get in, and the wasted money will be wasted."

"Uncle, you can rest assured that the contract is clearly written in black and white. The shop is made of earth, wood and blue tiles. This is not what will be given to us at that time. Take the contract to the yamen for evaluation. The yamen can't solve it. Bigger Isn’t there a Fucheng? If you don’t care about the Fucheng, then it’s going to be in the capital, and someone should take the place of our common people.” Liu Kangtu patiently explained to the surrounding people who didn’t know the truth that the idea of ​​building the market was proposed by his family , The reward silver was also given to them without a single penny. If no one rents the market that has been built in the future, the yamen will have to die.

Although Liu Kangtu thinks that it is unlikely that no one will rent it, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. He just feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to help the Yamen publicize the renting process, so as to avoid them Always being skeptical will directly affect the progress of the yamen market.

Passer-by Ding showed great disbelief on his face. In his eyes, a shop built of mud, wood, and blue tiles could not be taken down without a small one or two in a month. "Big brother, don't let the yamen fool you!" Now, how can such a good thing come to us ordinary people."
