Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child: Chapter 231 love people like children
Chapter 231 Love the people like a child
Xia Haisheng smiled bitterly.
"We want to report it!
But the government doesn't listen to us at all.
Those officials have long been bribed by the landlords, and their officials and businessmen colluded.
Once we dare to resist, officers and soldiers will come to us.
We are just a group of ordinary people, what can we do?
As long as we still have a little hope, we won’t let Ansheng’s life be nothing but a rogue! "
In the end, he and his two cousins couldn't help but red eyes, obviously despairing of this world.
Yu Chou asked, "Then what's the matter with the conscription you said?"
Xia Haisheng eased his mood before speaking.
"I don't know the specifics. All I know is that the Eastern Expedition Army is recruiting, and they want a lot."
Yu Weiwei showed a thoughtful look.
It's the Eastern Expedition again.
First tax increases, and then a large number of land annexations, all of which are to hoard money and food.
Not only that, but they are also recruiting.
This is obviously a big move!
Lu Yao's hands clenched into fists.
"What's the name of your local county magistrate?"
Xia Haisheng looked inexplicable: "I am a commoner, how can I know the name of the county magistrate? I only know his surname Li, why are you asking this?"
Lu Yao did not answer.
He was holding a breath in his heart.
He thought that under his father's governance, Liaodong County should be prosperous.
But I didn't expect that the officials below would dare to deceive the top and the bottom, and collude with the squires and fish in the village!
When he returns home, he must tell his father what happened here, and let him punish those corrupt officials severely!
The villagers of Xiajia Village returned soon.
They placed the patients they brought in under the shade of a tree.
Angelica and Yu Cuiwei brought a small table, and Luo Pingsha sat on the floor behind the table, diagnosing and treating the patient's pulse.
Probably because Luo Pingsha has a baby face and looks like a half-old child who hasn't grown up. Those patients have certain doubts about his medical skills.
It wasn't until Luo Pingsha revealed their condition just by diagnosing the pulse that they believed that the little man in front of him had real skills.
Luo Pingsha spent an hour reading all the patients.
He prescribed prescriptions for everyone, and the medicinal materials he used were all cheap and common.
Patients are holding the prescription like a treasure.
Xia Haisheng was both happy and sad about this.
I am glad that the villagers' illness has finally been cured, but sadly, they have no money and cannot get medicine.
took a step back and said that even if they caught the medicine and cured the villagers, how would they live in the future? Do you want to live by robbery all the time?
Yu Weiwei took out one hundred taels of silver and handed it to Xia Haisheng.
"I can see that you have an opinion.
You can use this money to get medicine for the villagers and buy some food.
If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can leave Liaodong County, go to Wangsong City, and find the local magistrate of Liu. "
Then she took out another letter.
"After reading this letter, magistrate Liu will arrange a place for you."
Xia Haisheng was so moved that he immediately knelt down to her.
"Girl's great kindness, we will never forget it!"
Yu Weiwei asked him to stand up and speak.
Xia Haisheng took the bank note and letter with both hands, and his hands were shaking with excitement: "Dare to ask the girl's name?"
Yu Cui Cui felt that this was a good opportunity to gain reputation. She wanted to reveal her identity, but she was worried that the disclosure of her identity would bring threats to herself and the people around her.
After weighing it, she decided to continue to conceal her identity.
"My surname is Yu, my husband's surname is Xiao, as for our identities...
When you arrive at Wangsong City and see the magistrate Liu, he will naturally tell you. "
Xia Haisheng gave her a deep bow.
"Mrs. Xiao saved our entire Xiajia Village, you are like reborn parents to us.
We keep this kindness in our hearts.
In the future, if you have anything of use to us, just say a word, and we will do it even if you go up the mountain and go down to the sea of fire! "
Yu Cui urged: "After you arrive at Wangsong City, you must live a good life. If you have a fate in the future, maybe we can meet again."
Xia Haisheng nodded solemnly: "Yeah!"
Lu Yao was still immersed in anger and shock, and he didn't notice what Yu and Xia Haisheng said.
Angelica and Luo Pingsha moved the low table back to the car.
Xia Haisheng led someone to remove the trees in the middle of the road.
There is no obstacle, and the carriage can travel smoothly.
The villagers stood on the side of the road and watched the two carriages go away.
Next, they passed through several villages. The situation was almost the same as that of Xiajia Village. All the villagers ran away, leaving only empty houses and large areas of deserted fields that were uncultivated.
Lu Yao became more and more angry.
When he entered the city, he immediately said to the little book boy.
"I have something to do. You go to the inn with the three brothers and sisters of the Yu family first, and I'll go to you after I'm done."
"it is good."
It's already evening.
When Lu Yao found the county office, it was dark.
He knocked on the door, and the yamen who opened the door was very impatient.
"Is there anything you can't wait for tomorrow? Didn't you see that it was getting dark? Hurry up and go! If you don't go, don't blame me for being rude to you?!"
Lu Yao directly took out the seal he carried with him.
"I'm the eldest son of the county governor's office. I'm passing through this place, and I have something to talk to the county magistrate."
The yamen took the seal and looked at it dubiously.
But he had never seen what the seal of the county governor looked like, so he could not be sure of the authenticity of the seal.
"You wait here, I'll be back when I go."
The yamen turned around and ran to the master, and showed the seal to the master.
Master saw the seal and knew it was true, so he hurried to inform the magistrate, and the two of them hurried to greet Young Master Lu.
The gate of the county government was open, and Lu Yao was politely invited in by everyone.
The county decree ordered people to set up a banquet and treat the eldest son of Lu well.
Lu Yao was in no mood to eat or drink at the moment.
he opened his mouth and said.
"I passed through several villages this way, and found that all the people in the villages ran away, and the large fields were uncultivated and turned into wasteland. What's going on?"
He thought that the county magistrate would feel guilty and panic.
Who knows, the magistrate just smiled: "Young master doesn't know, it's those villagers who owe money and hid by themselves, it has nothing to do with us."
Lu Yao was angry: "It's already this time, you're still talking nonsense?
I have already inquired, those villagers are all for you to force away!
It is you who privately raised taxes and forced the people to live, so they could only sell their fields cheaply. "
The magistrate hurriedly complained.
"Young master misunderstood!
Xiaguan is just a seventh-rank sesame official, how can he have the guts to increase taxes without permission?
These are all orders from the county governor, and we all act according to orders. "
Lu Yao couldn't believe it.
"What did you say? My father has always loved the people like a son, how could he do such a thing?!"
The county magistrate said: "We didn't leave a penny of the taxes we collected, and all of them were handed over to the county governor. If you don't believe it, you can ask the county governor about this."
Ask for a ticket~~~
