Chapter 93: Who's Listening?

"I think so too, but in this matter, we still have to tell the local parents and officials, otherwise if people just find some excuse to interrupt our plan, what can we do?"

"We can't let those merchants be suspicious of us, right?" Qiu Yan continued.

"That's right." After some discussion, the two quickly settled on it.

But in addition to wanting to build roads, they also have further plans.

I plan to step up contact with the families in the other villages, so that by selling more fruits, vegetables, poultry and livestock, the villagers can also make more money and become rich as soon as possible.

However, these things need the help of the county order.

If he could actively find the surrounding village chiefs, rely on the power of the government, and directly order them to cooperate with Qiuyan, it would be much smoother.

Although all this was finalized, looking at the look of embarrassment on Qiu Yan's face, Lu Chiye remembered the disdainful look of the middle-aged woman when she looked at Qiu Yan just now.

guessed that the relationship between their mother and daughter should be quite bad.

took the initiative to propose, "Madam, if you don't want to talk to the county commander, let's arrange for Ji Feifan and Fengxing to be with the county magistrate." ”

"Over the past few days, the two of them have followed us from place to place, and they must have learned a lot from hearing and seeing."

"Can the two of them do it?" Qiu Yan was a little worried.

After all, Ji Feifan and Shen Fengxing are only in their teens, and they haven't fully grown into adults.

Just arrange for the two of them to negotiate with the county order, what if they are bullied?

However, Lu Chiye thought that after the business of the two of them became bigger and bigger in the future, there would definitely be some people around them who were extremely trusted.

During this time, through his observations, he also knew that Shen Fengxing and Ji Feifan had indeed grown a lot, so he simply made a final decision.

"Let's let them try, let them try. If you're really not at ease, we can take a closer look at it later. ”

Qiu Yan thought that when she saw that Cao Xinfeng just now, her original body was so unhappy, and it was estimated that there was a lot of conflict with her.

She didn't want to deal with that kind of extremely mean woman either, and after thinking about it for a while, she agreed.

In the evening, he deliberately called Shen Fengxing and Ji Feifan to a table to eat.

Ji Feifan always thought that his identity as a maid was not suitable to sit with the master, and he sat in the bottom corner with some trepidation, and he didn't even dare to clip the dishes.

After Qiu Yan put a lot of chopsticks and meat in her bowl in a row, she gently urged her.

"Quick, eat more, children of your age, you can't eat enough three meals a day, eat more. We'll have something to discuss with you later. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Ji Feifan lowered his head and hurriedly picked up the food in the bowl.

When the two of them had eaten almost enough, Lu Chiye took the initiative to mention it.

"These days, my wife and I have discussed it, and I plan to talk to the county about building roads, as well as driving nearby villagers to step up contact with us."

"But Madame and the county magistrate are a little conflicted, so the two of us don't plan to come forward in person for this matter, can you two try it?"

Shen Fengxing had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when he heard what Lu Chiye said, he was a little worried.

But he seems to have vaguely heard before that his sister-in-law seems to be unappreciated at home.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been married to their family for so long, and I have never seen anyone from my mother's family come to visit.

Listening to what Lu Chiye said almost, and observing Qiu Yan's expression, she could probably guess that her mother actually disliked her sister-in-law.

Therefore, after listening to Lu Chiye's words, the two of them promised in unison that they would definitely help Qiu Yan get justice, so that she didn't have to worry about the trivial matters on the county order.

Qiu Yan looked at the still immature faces of the two and smiled helplessly.

"What kind of stupid thing to get justice, no, everything is fine on my side. I don't need you to do anything for me, it's just very ordinary, just talk to them about business. ”

"Don't worry, we'll find a place to look at it later, you can talk about it boldly, don't be afraid of them."

Although this is the first time that the two of them do not need to be led by others, they are a little apprehensive in their hearts to discuss business in person.

But thinking that Qiu Yan and the two of them were very good to them some time ago, and now it is indeed time to repay them.

Therefore, after Qiu Yan arranged for someone to come in and take away the dishes and chopsticks, he deliberately discussed with Qiu Yan and them until late, and took all kinds of specific details into account.

"Well, you should be relieved now, right? This business is actually very simple, it only includes two, road construction, and closer contact with the villagers. ”

"As the parent official here, the county commander must know much more about this place than we do."

"If he goes out, we don't have to run from village to village, this place is difficult to walk, there are mud roads everywhere, it's very inconvenient." Qiu Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Although he just had a face-to-face with the county order and the couple just now, looking at that Cao Xinfeng's somewhat pungent appearance, he also knew that it was estimated that the Qiu County order was taken care of by her.

The local parents were actually pinched by their own wife, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him.

Shen Fengxing looked at the two of them and nodded vigorously.

"Please rest assured, brother and sister-in-law, we will definitely do our best! Of course, they will not give in because they are officials, and they will continue to give in to conditions. ”

"That's right," Lu Chiye patted him on the shoulder with relief.

After discussing with the two of them, he arranged for them to go to bed early, and waited for the next day to negotiate with the county order.

At dawn on the second day, everyone cleaned up, and Qiu Yan personally sent the two of them out.

But for some reason, although it was discussed specifically enough last night, there was still a little bit of indescribable, subtle feeling in my heart.

Lu Chiye also knew that Qiu Yan was worried that the two of them were too young to hold the scene, so in desperation, he took her out with him and took the initiative to say.

"I know where they're talking about business right now, let's find a place in the back and hide and see."

"If the situation is not good, find a way to remind it."

"It's still the husband's thoughtfulness, I always feel that Fengxing and Ji Feifan are too small. It's the first time I've been there, and if the autumn county order bullies them, this won't be good. ”

Now Qiu Yan doesn't even want to call her father, it is estimated that the people who were with the Qiu family before were indeed choking enough, and Lu Chiye couldn't help but feel even more distressed about her.

Soon, they arrived at the teahouse where the two sides had negotiated business.

After Qiu Yan looked left and right, he chose a rather hidden cubicle, and hid in the window with Lu Chiye, quietly listening to the movement from next door.

The window next door was not open, and the wall was still a little thick, so I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, so I could only frown, hoping that the situation over there would be smoother.

However, after Shen Fengxing and Ji Feifan went over to meet the county commander and his wife, they had only a few words, and they had a dispute.

Originally, Shen Fengxing and Qiu Yan had discussed it well, but this time they only needed to ask the county order to agree that they would contact other merchants, each contribute some money, and hire workers to build the road.

The prefectural order only needs to be a matchmaker from it, and there is nothing big about it at all.

But who knows, when they put forward this point, Cao Xinfeng, who was sitting next to Qiu Xianling, rushed in front of him and made a rather rude request.

"Since you need our family to come forward to build the road, then you have to give us a little hard money, right?"

"With such a large area as Qiguang Mansion, do you know how many workers need to be hired to build roads?"

"We naturally know this, please don't be impatient."

Shen Fengxing was patient and said politely.

"It is precisely because the area of Qiguang Mansion is so large that the workers arranged above can not build all the nearby roads in a short period of time, so my brother decided to contact other merchants."

"At this point, in fact, adults don't need to worry much, they just need to nod their heads in agreement. As for the hardship and the like, where do you start? ”

"In other words, you don't want to give money." Cao Xinfeng once again showed a greedy face, and twisted his head to the side with disdain.

"Anyway, this matter was decided by the adults of my family, if he doesn't agree, even if you have mountains of gold and silver on you, you won't need to go out!"

"Not to mention hiring workers to come here to build roads, who gave you the courage to do business, and dared to go beyond the government and directly let people build roads, you don't want to live anymore, do you?"

Listening to Cao Xinfeng's shameless words, Ji Feifan was so angry that he almost made a move.

He slapped the table hard and stood up, "Today we came to discuss business with you, but for the sake of the people of Limin." Didn't you see that the adults in your family didn't speak? ”

"When did an official's wife have such courage?"

Qiu Yan listened to the noise over there getting worse and worse, and she was really a little worried.

If this matter is completely collapsed, there will be great obstacles in the future, whether it is to build roads or do business with villagers.

In desperation, he walked to the corner and picked up a small stone, and then smashed it towards the window next door.

Shen Fengxing keenly heard the voice coming from the window, and his heart suddenly jumped.

Hurriedly held down Ji Feifan, and glanced at Qiu Xian Ling with some disappointment.

"Let's think about this matter, please think about it yourself."

"As for your lady, if you don't know much about this, we don't blame her, we just hope that your lord can come up with an idea as soon as possible, and don't let the people of Dawn continue to suffer in your hands!"

After speaking, he took Ji Feifan with him and returned to the inn where he lived before.
