Chapter 125: Going to the countryside

Autumn in the south is very hot.

It makes people feel that summer has never left. Autumn is just another way of writing summer.

However, leaving Ninghua County or Cuijiang Town, this county government is actually in one town, and this town is not much larger than some other towns because of its county government.

They are all the same withered.

The goal of Li Dongyang's plan to go to the countryside was the territory of the famous local family and the Huang family.

The reason why Li Dongyang has such a choice is his own consideration.

Among the local families, the Huang family is the largest family. Even in modern times, the Huang surname is also a big surname in Ninghua County. However, a big surname does not mean strong.

On the contrary, because the Huang family is too big, the internal part is divided into several churches. It is said to be the same surname, but the relationship between them is not as good as that of strangers.

And the remaining large families, such as the Li family and Ning family.

These big families are either more united or hesitant. For example, although the Li family is a big family, there are not many people, but they spare no effort in education.

Nearly half of the disciples Li Dongyang accepted were from the Li family, which was supported by Li Dongyang. This may be because the Li family’s land and houses are all near the county town.

For those small and strong families, Li Dongyang is not easy to attack. I am afraid that it will cause civil unrest, but the Huang family is different. Although it is big, it is a mess of sand inside.

Rather than a small family.

And it has great influence, just take over the Huang family.

Other families dare not disobey the imperial orders.

The reason why Li Dongyang is so cautious is that his actions almost abolished the privilege of these families to take on taxes.

There is no need to explain the amount of oil and water here, you can imagine it without further ado.

But after Li Dongyang made such arrangements, things did not go very smoothly.

Zhongsha Village, Ninghua County.

"Sir, this is not suitable." A dry old man looked at Li Dongyang with a little careful look, his eyes secretly seeping out from under his eyelids, and carefully observed Li Dongyang. He was Huang Tong, the grain chief in this area, and said: "There has never been this rule."

Li Dongyang said: "Now the county has changed its rules, why can't it be?"

"Tomorrow you only need to bring people, one family after another. I will bring people to collect food in the village. Why can't it be possible?"

"Of course, it's OK," said the dry old man, "Sir, that's it, so let's do it. Just these people?"

Li Dongyang said: "There is not a big temple nearby. If you don't need to entertain you, let's go somewhere to rest for a night."

Li Dongyang brought everyone this time.

After all, Li Dongyang could not go to the countryside every time, so these things will be assigned to these officials in the future.

This time, Li Dongyang brought people down, and he had the idea of ​​cultivating it in his heart.

Once these people become familiar with the local situation in Ninghua, Li Dongyang will be able to do other things in Ninghua County.

After explaining this, Li Dongyang brought people to this dilapidated temple.

It is said to be a dilapidated temple, but it is actually a Buddhist temple. I don’t know when it was built or when it was abandoned. The three-entry courtyard has long been messy.

All houses have skylights.

Fortunately, the foundation is still there, so it is much easier to build a tent with this foundation.

After all, Han Tiecheng was born in a general and was most familiar with this kind of thing. He quickly set up a tent. He had some doubts in his heart and immediately went to find Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang still valued Han Tiecheng very much. After all, they were considered village parties, and Han Tiecheng also grew up in Beijing.

When Li Dongyang saw Han Tiecheng coming, he rolled up a book in one hand and said, "Tiecheng, are you doing something?"

Han Tiecheng said: "Sir, it's wrong to see what the Huang family is doing today."

Li Dongyang said a little strangely: "Is there anything wrong?"

Han Tiecheng said: "The Huang family is too rich."

Li Dongyang said a little strangely: "How is it possible if you say the Huang family is too rich?"

Li Dongyang never noticed this. Although Li Dongyang's family was not a rich family, he was a Jinshi and had seen many wealthy families.

He didn't care much about these wealthy families in Zhongsha Village. It was not that Li Dongyang looked down on the poor, but as a person who came out of the richest place in the world, he would not deliberately distinguish the property status of the Huang family.

It's like a billionaire who doesn't deliberately pay attention to the wages of workers.

But Han Tiecheng is different. He is a minor official and has seen how most people live. Before he came, he also checked the amount of land in Huang Tong's family.

It is not consistent with the financial resources revealed by Huang Tong at all.

Li Dongyang was not a fool either. He thought about it carefully and felt that it was not right, but he pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the position of the chief grain chief gave Huang Tong a lot of oil and water. It was just that the court's work has always been based on my orders and will not blame him."

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "I can't blame you either."

It is actually a helpless way to avoid being blamed.

If you really want to investigate carefully, there are problems with all the thousands of grain leaders in the world, but these people are the foundations of the court among the people. If you make these things anxious, something will happen.

You know, before Deng Maoqi started his army, his identity was just like this. But Deng Maoqi could raise his arms and gather around. Besides, the place where Deng Maoqi started his army was only a few mountains.

Why did Li Dongyang think that he didn't see it?

Han Tiecheng said: "Sir, I don't think this, I think Huang Tong is a veteran of murder, and I'm afraid it's not good for adults."

Li Dongyang laughed and said, "You are worried too much. The Huang family dares not kill officials. Besides, he may have been hunting in the mountains. How can he say that someone has killed someone?"

Han Tiecheng could only sigh helplessly.

Speaking of which, after Han Qing's death, the Han family fell, but Han Qing's connections were still there. For example, Yang Xin and Fan Guang all sent people to visit their mother and son, as well as some of Han Qing's personal soldiers, who also taught Han Tiecheng's martial arts.

If Han Tiecheng's mother had not been unwilling to do so, he should have been from martial arts, and even now in the army, he should have been able to get an official position.

Speaking of which, he is more accustomed to killing people than the affairs of a minor official.

If a person has never killed someone, there will be a very mysterious change in temperament. People with a heart can see it at a glance. However, most people think it is a mysterious thing.

Han Tiecheng sighed in his heart and said to himself: "No matter what, I must be more alert."

Just when Han Tiecheng reminded Li Dongyang, in the Huang Family Ancestral Hall, Huang Tong straightened his back and was burning incense to the ancestors of the Huang Family.

Every move is straightforward. If Li Dongyang saw it, he would definitely not believe it. What is here is Huang Tong Huang Liangchang who had been timid in front of him before.

After Huang Tong finished the incense, he turned around and said, "Tell me, what should I do now?"

Behind him, more than a dozen men stood, all of whom were talking to each other in the Huang family.

"I will definitely not let the county magistrate investigate carefully. My Huang family cannot stand the investigation." said a gray-haired Huang family dialect.

For a time, it aroused a lot of resonance.

The mountains are high and the road is far away. In this area, the Huang family is all the land of the emperor. Even if they pay taxes, the people below must be handed over to him first, and then he will hand them over to the county.

Among them, it is common to do something. If you like something, you can use the excuse to collect taxes, and it will destroy people's family.

It can even be said that today this area is dominated by the Huang family.

People with mixed surnames even breathe wrongly.

As the patriarch, Huang Tong is a little warm to the Huang family and doesn’t even show any face to those who are not surnamed.

Of course, as Li Dongyang said, where is there such a thing in the world? The imperial court cannot punish the Huang family for this little thing.

Huang Tong may not be so clear, but he also feels this way.

The problem is that the Huang family’s affairs may not be just a little bit of it.

Only by digging food from the soil can you make a lot of money. People don’t have wealth without windfall, and horses don’t have fat without night grass. Huang Tong naturally found a way to make money and night grass.
