The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1096 Going back to the capital
Thinking of this, Ming Mo asked.

"Lu Chen and I are just a temporary alliance. Once interests are involved, who knows if he will stab me in the back? Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself. Some news cannot be fully known to Lu Chen."

Gu Chengyu has always been on guard against Lu Chen. Even though Lu Chen's character is not bad, the family standing behind him does not allow him to do whatever he wants.

It is commonplace to be forced to do things that are most contrary to your own will.

Ming Mo suddenly understood, it turned out that the adults wanted to guard against the landing adults.It seems that the lord has no special feelings for the lord Lu, which made Ming Mo feel relieved.

On this day, the sky finally cleared, and the long-lost sun finally appeared in the blue sky, and the people in the whole city cheered for joy.

Such a long period of rainy weather has made them very tired.

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is already humid, coupled with the continuous rain all day, it is inconvenient for the people to travel, and even the rice planted before cannot survive.

"The sky finally cleared up. I wonder if the rice can be replanted? If it can't be planted, there will be no harvest this year. If there is no new grain, not only will there be no food to eat, but also taxes will not be paid."

A farmer looked at the rickety seedlings in the field, feeling infinitely melancholy.

This is still a relatively high-lying place, and in some low-lying places, the seedlings have been drowned long ago, and it is useless to open ditches.Because there is so much water, there is nowhere to put it.

"Hey! You are still doing well. Maybe you can save some of the water if you drain some of it. But my house is not going to be successful. After the water is drained in the next few days, I have to replant all of them. I don’t know if it’s too late or not. I hope it won’t rain again, otherwise we won’t have food to pay taxes next year.”

The other person sighed for a long time before walking away with his hands behind his back.

Yamen servant Chen Zhao looked at the laborer who was working hard in front of him, feeling helpless.He originally went to Changtian Preparatory Mansion to evacuate the people, but later Changtian Mansion suffered from continuous disasters, so far he has only found his eldest son and wife, and the rest of the family members are still alive and dead.

Needless to say, it should have been rushed elsewhere by Jiang Hong.

He took his wife and children and fled to Hangtian Mansion without revealing his identity.When he saw the two imperial envoys specially sent by the emperor, he couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart.

I don't know how to deal with these officials after the embankment broke.If he rushes up now, isn't he going to die?

I wanted to follow the refugees to Yingnan Mansion and discuss with Li Taihang.Who would have thought that on the second day after arriving in Yingnan Mansion, he heard that Li Taihang was imprisoned by imperial envoys for accepting bribes.

How dare he reveal his identity now?Although he is not the mastermind, he is not even considered an accomplice, at most he is a scrap.

But if the imperial envoy knew that he had criminal evidence against Qian Huichun and other officials, the former prefect of Changtian Mansion, he would definitely be asked to testify.

After all, he stretched out his hand, and if he didn't report it, he would be involved in this matter, so he might as well hide it all.

Anyway, with so many victims, he and his family only need to hide in a place far away from familiar people, and no one may know him.

At that time, the government will definitely re-apply for their household registration. He can hide his name and lead his family to live a good life.

It's just a pity that he is a yamen servant, and he still eats from the official family anyway. Now that he has no such job, he still doesn't know what to do to support his family of three in the future.

Chen Zhao looked disappointed, and at the same time regretted in his heart, he strengthened his determination.You must not be involved in this matter, otherwise you and your family will not be able to survive.

In order to save their lives and black hats, those officials are determined not to let themselves go.It is more appropriate to hide among the victims.

It's just that he is very uncomfortable doing river work with the victims now.Such hard work is done, and there is not much money in the account.

Swallowing the bitterness in his heart, Chen Zhao lifted a big rock and walked to the high place with great effort.

"My lord! The official document came from the capital, and it was delivered by the courier shop at the post station." Ming Mo handed the official document in his hand to Gu Chengyu, turned around and left the study.

Gu Chengyu is not surprised, there must be someone to take over the position of prefect of Yingnan Prefecture.At this time, an official document came, which should be related to this matter.

Sure enough, after opening the official document, Gu Chengyu saw that the person who replaced the magistrate was Ji Yan, a doctor from Tobu.

Ah!The choice of this person surprised him a bit. Is he here to pick peaches?It is not a great thing for a Beijing official of the fifth rank to become a local official of the fourth rank.

Because once you leave the capital, if you want to transfer back, if you don't have a strong relationship with the court, it will probably not be possible.

But Ji Yan is different, Xia Qing can transfer him back to the capital as long as his three-year term is over.

He and Ji Yan didn't have any direct conflicts before, but because of Ji Mingxuan's matter before, he and Ji Yan had settled with each other.

Ji Yuying, the cousin of Zhu Pang's wife Kong Shuhuan, was finally accepted by Ji Mingxuan as a concubine. Although the woman was beautiful, Ji Mingxuan was quite satisfied.

But Ji Mingxuan didn't plan on him, and felt very dissatisfied, not to mention the relationship between Zhu Fat and him.

If I go back and tell Ji Yan, it is impossible for Ji Yan to have a deep prejudice against him.And they also have their own masters and have different positions.

However, he was going back to the capital soon, and apart from being taken advantage of by Ji Yan and Xia Qing, the affairs here had nothing to do with him.

But because Ji Yan became the magistrate, Gu Chengyu planned to wait until he returned to the capital before negotiating with the prince about road construction.

After all, the crown prince is regarded as the orthodox heir, and the emperor doesn't know how long he will live.
With a plan in mind, Gu Chengyu continued to look down.Huh?The prince actually agreed to set up a chamber of commerce?

snort!Cheap Norihiko!
"My lord! Master Lu is here." Ming Mo's voice sounded from outside the study, and Gu Chengyu didn't put down the official document in his hand.This official document is quite satisfactory, and it was sent by the imperial court, so there is nothing wrong with it.

As soon as Gu Chengyu spoke, Lu Chen's voice sounded in the study.

"Jinyu! I heard that the imperial court intends to send Ji Yan, a household doctor, to take over the prefect's seat."

As soon as Lu Chen entered the study, he saw the official document in Gu Chengyu's hand. He raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you already know!"

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Take a look! It is indeed him."

Lu Chen took it, and read the official document from beginning to end, "Tsk tsk! The chamber of commerce has been established? You also sent Mao Jinyuan, the right servant of the household department, to Jiangnan?"

"When someone comes, we can go back to the capital. Things here are almost done, so there is no need to delay."

The grain in the granary has been replenished in the past few days, as for how much money Xia's and the other two commercial firms lost, that's not his business.

Do business!Naturally, there are gains and losses. You can’t always make money, right?
