Chapter 544: Give the people a bright and clear world!
same day.
Ying Yuan was almost never idle, but visited many places in Qingshui County.
The conclusion reached is exactly the same as what the old man said.
There are serious problems in the Wang family of Qingshui County!
As evening approached, Ying Yuan and A Qing found an inn to rest.
The latter saw the former frowning and asked curiously:
"Is the Wang family of Qingshui County a mere family worth the worry of an emperor like you?"
The former smiled bitterly and said, "I am not worried about the Wang family's problems, but I am worried about how many other cases like Qingshui County exist in the territory of Daqin."
It turns out that nationalizing land requires more than just reform.
There are a lot of things involved in this.
Even Ying Yuan felt a little tricky.
The next day, they left Qingshui County.
At the same time, a major event also occurred in Qingshui County.
The Wang family, which was once a powerful family in the village, was wiped out overnight.
Even the county magistrate died.
Two days later, the new county magistrate sent by the court arrived.
He immediately distributed the land reasonably to all the people in Qingshui County.
The old man who was sitting on the ground with Ying Yuan gradually confirmed his thoughts through recent events.
At this moment, he was sitting at home, carefully looking at the ten taels of silver in his arms.
Finally, he made a decision, called his two sons to him, and gave them earnest instructions:
"In the future, even if I die, you can't touch these ten taels of silver."
"Unless you're in dire straits, you can only use it. Do you understand?"
His two sons did not understand his decision.
That’s ten taels of silver!
It can improve their lives to a great extent.
In response, the old man simply explained to the two of them:
"What do you know? This silver carries the fortune of the nation and can protect the house and settle down!"
yes.
For the elderly.
That's not just ten taels of silver.
-------------
After leaving Qingshui County, Ying Yuan has been in a depressed state.
Fortunately, he and Ah Qing spent about half a month visiting many farmers.
It was finally confirmed that the incident involving the Wang family in Qingshui County was just a special case.
Ying Yuan's mood finally recovered.
The last two days.
They had been resting in a town called Yanzhou.
I was just strolling around the city to relax.
I happened to hear some quarreling in front of the pork shop.
So out of curiosity, I joined in the fun.
After listening for a long time, Ying Yuan finally understood the whole story.
It turned out to be a foreigner who had just settled in Yanzhou and wanted to buy pork.
As a result, he was blackmailed by the owner of the pork shop.
Half a pound of pork was priced at fifteen taels of silver.
If not, he would threaten to break his legs.
The stranger naturally didn't want to give it, so he started shouting loudly.
"Fellow villagers, this black-faced man is clearly bullying me. You must bear witness for me!"
“I’m new here…”
However, none of the villagers who were watching came forward to talk to him.
It seems that he is very afraid of the pork seller.
Then, the butcher held a kitchen knife to the stranger's neck and shouted angrily:
"Damn it, you don't even ask around. I've always been honest with everyone in my shop. If you can't come up with the money today, I'll chop you up, believe it or not!"
The stranger was frightened and sat on the ground with his legs slumped, not daring to move. He just stammered:
"Do you... do you... do you believe that I will report it to the police?"
Report to the police?
Hearing this, the butcher laughed even louder.
"Just try and report it. As soon as you do, I'll have someone kidnap your wife and children. Do you believe it?"
At this time, an elderly man suddenly spoke,
"You'd better give it to him, you're a stranger. It will ward off disaster."
The butcher laughed and said, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and give me the money!"
In desperation, the stranger had to hand over all the silver he had to the butcher.
The latter weighed it and estimated it to be around two or three taels.
After all, who would go out with more than ten taels of silver these days?
The butcher was dissatisfied and did not give him any pork, saying, "Get out of here!"
Then, the farce ended.
When everyone has dispersed.
Ying Yuan asked the neighbors about the butcher, but few dared to speak out.
However, he also figured out the butcher's origins.
The butcher was not a local either. For some unknown reason, he came to Yanzhou and opened a pork shop.
Because he has great military power, he often exploits the people in the village.
In response to this, Ying Yuan sighed and said to Ah Qing:
"What I worry about most is that one day, you Jianghu people will no longer want to stay in Jianghu and instead come to harm the common people!"
Ah Qing retorted, "Most people in the Jianghu are chivalrous and courageous. That butcher is probably just a bandit."
Ying Yuan nodded.
Probably in the evening.
He saw a gambling house and suddenly threw out a bloody man.
Seeing this, he was greatly shocked.
"Why did you beat him like this?"
A local said:
"You guys just arrived in Yanzhou, right? This kind of thing happens all the time. I'm afraid this gambler lost all his money and refused to pay, so he was beaten to death by the gambling den people."
Ying Yuan frowned and said, "Killing someone in the street, the government doesn't care?"
