A small peasant girl

Chapter 526 The Intention Is Too Obvious

"Uncle Lizheng, there are some refugees from other places outside. They said that their villages were hit by floods, and their fields and houses were destroyed. The local yamen didn't care about their affairs, so they went to other towns to ask for food." Wang Qingwenfu He let Liu Lizheng sit down on the chair, and then sat back on the chair he was sitting on. With rich experience, he knew that respecting the elder starts with the details.

"Then, why are you running to our Liujia Village, and the yamen doesn't send anyone to take care of it?" Liu Li was thinking carefully about what Wang Qingwen said, and his careful thoughts became active, "Treasurer Wang, I can see, There are quite a few people out there."

Liu Li was in charge of the affairs of the Liu Family Village, and was particularly sensitive to the number of people. It was the first time he saw so many people in the Liu Family, and he didn't know what words to describe how he felt.

"Grandpa Lizheng, Uncle Wang was also taken aback. Originally, I wanted to wait for Grandpa Lizheng tomorrow to help out with ideas and see how the people outside can make arrangements." Wenzi seized the opportunity and said Come out, with a respectful, flattering tone, and can find reasonable reasons to add that they have no intention of sitting idly by.

Listening to Wenzi's words, Wang Qingwen praised Wenzi's eloquence and flexibility in his heart, and the beautiful scene words, I am afraid that only people who have seen the world can say them in a flash.

"Where, I'm already old, what other good ideas can I come up with?" Although Liu Lizheng said some words of obedience to the old people humbly, what Wenzi said just now made him listen very well. Older people, I am most afraid of being treated as a useless old thing.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I don't allow you to say such frustrating words. You are the head of the Liu family village, but you are not Lizheng yourself. You have to live healthy and healthy for decades. Help Liu The villagers in the family village are doing business." Wenzi deliberately spoke with a straight face, she knew that the elderly want to be recognized by the younger generation, which is a psychological need.

"Success, it's my fault." Wenzi's words went directly to Liu Lizheng's heart. He also hoped that he would live a few more years so that he could help the villagers of Liujia Village to do more things. After laughing a few times, Liu Lizheng, who was in a good mood, continued. , "Treasurer Wang, the people outside, what are your plans?"

"Let the kitchen prepare some food for now. We won't be able to think of other ways for a while. I'd like to ask Uncle Lizheng for help and give me some advice." Wang Qingwen asked the village official in front of him modestly. After all, the things that outsiders can do are very limited.

"Yeah, I'll think about it too." Liu Lizheng squeezed his goatee with his hands, and after making his signature movements, his old eyes kept rolling. to this kind of thing.

All the people in the whole village were transferred out, which was very strange in itself.

Logically speaking, even if the village suffers from floods, ordinary people will first build simple thatched huts for a short stay, and slowly restore the village to its original appearance by hand.

The village is not only the place where the villagers live, but also the foundation of a person, and the final place where a person will return in the future. There are graves of ancestors here, and no one will be willing to leave their native home easily.

"Shopkeeper Wang, why don't you find someone to go to the town and talk to the people in the yamen to see what the county master means." Liu Li is just a half-official servant, and the first routine method he can think of is to report the situation to the yamen. Wait for the yamen to send someone to deal with this matter.

"Grandpa Lizheng, these people have been in town for some time, but the county lord has never sent someone to take care of them. I'm afraid the yamen doesn't want to intervene at this moment." Wenzi resisted his indifference to the yamen, but He didn't dare to make it too obvious. The magistrate of Waiyi County had something to hide, so how could he get along with him in harmony in the future?

"But, we can't drive them all away, can we?" Liu Lizheng was thinking in his heart. He especially hoped that the Wang family could manage these refugees so that they could increase the population of Liujia Village. Earn word of mouth and people for free.

"Uncle Lizheng, I think the same way, drive them all away, and there is no place to drive away?!" Wang Qingwen replied to Liu Lizheng in a very polite tone, but he is not an idiot who is shrewd. For a small calculation, he sneaked a glance at Wenzi beside him, and the two made eye contact, implying that he had seen Liu Lizheng's intentions.

"I look at these people with pity, otherwise they wouldn't even give up their foundations and go to other villages with their families to find a way to survive." Liu Lizheng glanced at Wang Wenqiang with meaningful eyes, and then glanced at the pensive Wenzi by the way, and continued With a sad face, he continued to play the sympathy card and said, "This is going to be the winter. If we don't find them a place to live, when the weather turns cold, I'm afraid they will die."

"Uncle Lizheng's words are extremely reasonable, and I'm also suffering from a headache." Wang Qingwen tried his best to speak at Liu Lizheng's speed, but he was not stupid enough to follow his meaning.

"If you want me to say, if you do more of something that can save a person's life, it's all for the sake of accumulating blessings for future generations." Seeing that Wang Qingwen didn't follow his own will and didn't take the bait, Liu Lizheng could only bite the bullet and continue. , "If I were as rich as the shopkeeper Wang, why not accept this blessing, what a pity, this..."

Liu Lizheng is also a talkative master. He didn't directly tell Wang Qingwen to take in the refugees from outside, but said that his family's conditions did not allow it, so he gave Wang Qingwen this rare blessing.

Hearing what Liu Lizheng said, Wang Qingwen stood up angry and funny, but he couldn't express it too directly. He could only glance at Wenzi who was also surprised. After all, Wenzi was the real master of the family, not him, a fake.

"Grandpa Lizheng, don't look at Uncle Wang as if he is very rich. He still owes a lot of debts outside. I heard my aunt making troubles about this this morning." Wenzi received a hint from Wang Qingwen's eyes. , I also had some small thoughts in my heart, Li in front of me wanted to be poorer than her, so she, Liu Wenzi, was also a person who could cry poor.

"Girl Wen, look at what you said, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a little leak from the shopkeeper Wang's fingers will be enough for us ordinary people to use for many years." After Liu Lizheng finished speaking, he laughed deliberately to cover up his embarrassment. In such a situation, it was a complete joke for people to watch him say this.

But Liu Lizheng said in his heart: he is so rich that he still has the face to cry poor in front of him, the richer he is, the more stingy he is.

"Uncle Lizheng, you're being polite. I don't have such great abilities. I'm just making a living." Wang Qingwen smiled helplessly. Wenzi still had the contract of selling his life for the youngest, and now he heard what Liu Lizheng said, not to mention how awkward and aggrieved he was.

Just when the three people in the house were thinking about each other, Xiaobei from outside hurried in, and he stood at the door panting and said, "Master, two officials came outside, saying that the county master sent someone to understand situation."

As the person who dealt with this matter first, the county lord did not come and said nothing, but only sent two yamen servants to understand the situation. This kind of behavior made Wenzi half dead.

However, Wenzi couldn't swear or swear, which made her want to spray the single-celled magistrate to death with a sip of salt soda.

"Liu Lizheng, shopkeeper Wang, Miss Wenzi, the county master heard that many refugees from other places came to Liujia Village, and he was afraid that if something happened, let us come over and find out." The yamen servant who spoke was surnamed Lin, he was seventeen or eighteen years old In his early days, although he has not yet discussed marriage, he is a person with strong ability to handle affairs, and he is deeply trusted by the county master and master.

"It's so late, I'm so sorry to bother you, Brother Guancha, come here, sit here." Wang Qingwen got up and politely invited the yamen servant into the room, and reminded Wenzi, "Girl Wen, why don't you come here?" Don't pour two cups of hot tea to moisten the mouths of the officials and brothers."

When outsiders were present, Wang Qingwen would act as if he was the master. This was Tong Wenzi's previously agreed strategy to deal with outsiders.

"Uncle Wang, I'll pour it right now." Hearing Wang Qingwen's reminder, Wenzi quickly poured two cups of hot tea, put them in front of the yamen servant, and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Guancha, today's spring tea. Try to see if it suits your taste."

"The tea from Shopkeeper Wang's house is always good." Liu Lizheng added after listening to it. His attitude towards the yamen servants is mutual respect. After all, according to his official title, he is not a bit shorter than the yamen servants. Light, come here and ask Shopkeeper Wang for a cup of hot tea."

Liu Lizheng took a sip of his tea, but he continued to say vaguely that the Wang family was rich and powerful, looking at the shopkeeper in front of him, he was embarrassed to reject the refugees from outside.

"Everyone, you are welcome. We are going out on business, and we only consider the common people." Before Lin Yamen came from the Yamen, he got a hint from his master that he must find a way to leave the matter of refugees from other places to the Wang family.

In fact, as soon as these refugees arrived in the town, Yamen Lin reported to the master, but the master and the county master did not give a regulation for a long time.

Lin Yamen, who had doubts at first, now heard what the master said, and he couldn't figure it out. He suddenly figured out the reason, but he couldn't help but ask the Wang family what they did.

"Brother Guancha is right, we ordinary people don't count on you anymore." Wang Qingwen smiled reluctantly, and directly threw back the question of the refugees outside. He wanted to know what the county master meant by sending a large number of people to Wang's house. .

"Girl Wen, the walnut cake you gave me last time was really good for me. If it's convenient, ask someone to prepare some. These cakes are old and expensive. Looking at the whole Liujia Village, I'm afraid only shopkeeper Wang Da can afford them." "Liu Li was thinking about the walnut cake that Wen Zi sent a while ago, and immediately pointed out that Wang's family is a rich family, who eats more carefully than anyone in Liu's Village, implying that Wang Qingwen is a rich man, and his family hides mountains of gold and silver. .
