Chapter 114: Between Good and Evil

The grain merchant knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to promise that he would never dare to be greedy for this money, and asked Liu Siyong to rest assured.

Liu Siyong didn't say anything, after letting the grain merchant retreat, someone sent a prayer post, respectfully handed it to Liu Siyong, Liu Siyong took the post, looked at it, and then asked people to prepare.

After he bathed and changed clothes, it was already evening, Liu Siyong came to the yamen of Zhixian County, the local gentry were already waiting there, Liu Siyong saw that these were old acquaintances, and sighed in his heart.

However, Liu Siyong didn't show it, and saluted these people coldly, according to his current status, there is no need to respect these people.

Entering the banquet, the magistrate waited for Liu Siyong to take a seat before he took his seat.

Next, the magistrate began to introduce, and Liu Siyong knew that this magistrate was called Xi Chun, the word Jingming, and he was Xi Xia's eldest brother.

Then there was the person who went out of the alliance that day, that person was called He Rou, the word was Wen, Liu Siyong was deeply impressed by these two people, as for the others, Liu Siyong felt that he was inactive and not enough to talk.

At the beginning of the banquet, Xi Chun and the others began to put on a high hat for Liu Siyong, and Liu Siyong also listened quietly without the slightest expression.

These people also noticed that Liu Siyong didn't seem to eat this, so they soon stopped talking about it and went to music and dance.

These women are carefully selected by Xi Chun and others, who can sing and dance, hoping to get Liu Siyong's favor. Xi Chun also told these women that Liu Siyong is the son of Zhenguo, and if they are valued by Liu Siyong, then they will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.

The dancers also did their best, butterflies danced, Man showed her singing voice, and for a while, the small yamen living room was like a fairyland.

Xi Chun and himself Xi Xia looked at Liu Siyong, and saw that Liu Siyong still had a cold face, as if he was unmoved, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Young Master Zhao signaled to the servant, who walked up to Liu Siyong with the wine and asked in a low voice, "Childe, are you dissatisfied?" If they are not satisfied, let them step down. ”

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

After the servant finished pouring the wine, he returned to Young Master Zhao and told Young Master Zhao about it, Young Master Zhao looked at Xi Chun and shook his head at Xi Chun.

Xi Chun waited until the song was finished, asked these dancing girls to retreat, and then said to Liu Siyong: "Lin Gongzi, today's hospitality is not good, please forgive me." ”

Liu Siyong said calmly: "The hospitality is very thorough, but my son has some things I want to ask the Ming Mansion, and I don't know if the Ming Mansion can ......."

"Lin Gongzi, please ask, I know everything about my humble duties, and I have no end to it."

"Okay, may I ask the Ming Mansion how to govern this Lishui County."

"Naturally, according to the imperial court, protect the people and the land, punish the traitors and eliminate the evil."

When Liu Siyong heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, and at this time Xi Xia said: "Lin Gongzi, are you worried about the problem of these homeless people, now that Lin Gongzi has solved their food problem, we don't have talent, they live and wear, and we will naturally relieve them." ”

"Don't know who we are?"

"The gentry in the county all read the books of sages, know the way of loving the people, people drown themselves, we still have some family background, and some homeless people can still be supported, please rest assured that Lin Gongzi will never let these homeless people cause a big disaster."

When Liu Siyong heard this, he said to them: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, how long can you support them?" The old ones don't care, the little ones grow up, and if you keep them, it will inevitably breed lazy people. When the county does not produce at that time, will you be able to support the people of the whole county? ”

These gentry didn't think about it so much, what they thought about was nothing more than the past few years, and when the limelight passed, this Lin Gongzi left, they didn't have to care, these homeless people are all old and young, and it is wishful thinking to want to make trouble.

However, when Liu Siyong asked this, they still had to answer, so He Rou said: "When they grow up, we are willing to rent land for them to cultivate." ”

"They have not been productive since they were young, and even if they rent the land, how can they make the most of it."

The gentry was silent, thinking that this Lin Gongzi was really troublesome, they had already given Lin Gongzi a step, and this Lin Gongzi should go down the steps, and now he would make it difficult for them. At this time, Xi Chun opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what Lin Gongzi thinks?" ”

"I don't need you to lease it, but let each of you sell it to me, and now I will rent it to them, and let the old farmer take them to cultivate it."

"Think about it again, where is the old peasant?"

"Their adults are not old farmers, they may not be able to farm and support their families now, but in the past few years, food and clothing are provided by us, they don't have to worry about their livelihood, a few years later, if they still can't farm, then they are self-defeated, and they have nothing to do with others. As for the money for the purchase of land, I have already sent it to the grain merchant, so go and sum it up with him, and if it is insufficient, ask you to make up for it. ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to turn their faces in front of them, but just asked, "I don't know how much land the adults are going to buy?" ”

"Naturally, it is one acre per household."

Liu Siyong also knew that one acre per household was a bit insufficient, but one acre per person, then these squires would definitely be unwilling. Now there is only one way to compromise.

Xi Chun thought for a while and told Liu Siyong that there were probably more than 100 families in this homeless population, and if these squires were to divide a little bit of it, more than 100 acres would still be able to be extracted.

"It's just that Lin Gongzi, the dynasty strictly forbids the nobles to buy and sell fields, and now you ...... like this"

"I didn't buy it, their names were written on the title deed, I just paid for them."

Liu Siyong was originally worried that these people would take it by force, so he wanted to write his name so that these homeless people could not sell their fields, but now his identity is indeed not able to buy and sell fields, he can only pay money to put the land under the name of the homeless people. Liu Siyong is not easy to solve such a drawback, so they can only ask for more blessings.

"Lin Gongzi is really a kind and benevolent gentleman, and those Yi people will naturally appreciate Lin Gongzi's kindness."

When Liu Siyong heard this, he said to Xi Chun; "Ming Mansion, this Lishui County Baili, all the people under your rule, no matter Yu Yi, all because of the same treatment, if there is favoritism, there will be chaos in the future."

Xi Chun disagreed, thinking that this Xiangyun Mansion had been defeated by them, and this Yiren had nothing to count.

Xi Chun didn't know that decades later, Xiangyun Mansion was so troubled that the Yu Dynasty was not peaceful all day long.

Liu Siyong persuaded him, then left the banquet and returned to the post house, Liu Siyong rested for a night, and set off the next day.

He also did not resign from Xiangguogong, and now he still has a lot of things to do.

On the first day of the eighth month, Liu Siyong and the others arrived at Fuming Village, which was under the jurisdiction of Jingming City.

After entering Fuming, Liu Siyong saw two children, and when these two children saw him, they looked at him curiously.

Liu Siyong smiled, stepped off the horse, approached the child, and asked, "What about your parents?" ”

"Who are you?" A daring child asked.

Liu Siyong smiled and said, "My name is Lin Quan." ”

Hearing the word Lin Quan, the two children cried out.

Seeing them like this, Liu Siyong's expression darkened, and asked Zhou Wu to send the two children back.

On the way to Jingming, Liu Siyong picked three more Tusi strongholds, and arranged the affairs of the displaced people in each county.

Now the entire Xiangyun Mansion is talking about Liu Siyong's affairs, Tusi has been in Xiangyun Mansion for so many years, naturally has some prestige, many people are dissatisfied with Yu Chao's crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge, and now Liu Siyong is encircling and suppressing Tusi with such fanfare, which makes them even more indignant.

Many people cursed Liu Siyong, and many people prayed for Liu Siyong, and everyone commented on this Lin Gongzi. Some people think that he is a demon, and some think that he is a bodhisattva.

However, there are more people who think that he is heinous, and there are few people who think that he is benevolent and benevolent.

Liu Siyong also cares too much, and when he makes his own decision, there will be this result, but he can't help but do it.

The group continued to move forward, and when they reached the front of Fuming Mountain, they saw someone kneeling there.

After Liu Siyong walked in, the old man of Cangshan introduced to Liu Siyong: "Son, this is He Qiwu, the master of Anning Cave. ”

"The grass people have seen the son, and the son is blessed and healthy."

Liu Siyong said that he was exempt from courtesy, He Qiwu said that he didn't dare, and then told Liu Siyong that he had corrected the whole Tusi family, and asked Liu Siyong to verify his body.

Liu Siyong asked the old man Cangshan to take a look, and said to He Qiwu: "He Qiwu, why didn't you go to the meeting that day?" ”

A few days ago, the grass people were on the mountain, and saw the mountain god, and the mountain god told the grass people that if he sent his son today to unify the countries of the four seas, Xiangyun Mansion was originally given to the Son of Heaven by God, and the grass people should be obedient and should not go against the sky."

Liu Siyong was noncommittal when he heard this, and after the old man of Cangshan verified it, he said to He Qiwu: "Since this is the case, then you can go with me." ”

"It is an honor for the grass people to be able to work for the son."

Liu Siyong nodded, at this time, He Qiwu also brought the gold and silver treasures, these days, he knows Liu Siyong's style.

After offering these, He Qiwu took a sword and presented it to Liu Siyong, Liu Siyong saw that the sword shark skin scabbard, the golden tiger swallowed the mouth, and the tiger's eyes were still two emeralds.

Just this appearance is enough to see that it is a treasure, after Liu Siyong took it, after pulling out the sword, he felt a cold air, thinking that this is a sword.

However, Liu Siyong had no subordinates, so he called Qian Yi and said to Qian Yi: "You try this sword smoothly or not." ”

Qian Yilian didn't dare, Liu Siyong said calmly: "This sword is here with me, and it is no different from being in your hands." ”

Qian Yi finally refused, took the sword, and looked at Liu Siyong gratefully.

Liu Siyong didn't speak, and asked the old man of Cangshan who was going to deal with next.

Before the old man of Cangshan could speak, He Qiwu took the lead and said: "Childe, I can't hide it, there is also a toast near here, and it is also the largest toast in Xiangyun." ”
