rich concubine

Chapter 1921 I would rather be poor
Life seems to have always been like this, dragging myself forward desperately. I am so tired that I don’t even have the courage to look back. I don’t know how far I have walked. I thought I was still in the same place and haven’t taken two steps. Little did I know that what I did The distance is getting further and further away from home.

I didn't seem to feel it before, but today, with these things and what Jiang Shunxiao said, a feeling of loss suddenly came to my heart.

Seeing his wife's stunned expression, Jiang Shunxiao's throat moved. He took her hand and said, "Everyone will be like this. When we get old and the children grow up, they will have to learn to separate."

Rong Yi gave a soft "hmm" and was speechless for the time being.

Sometimes, there is no need to express some worries. The faint sadness lingers in my heart. I just need to swallow it slowly and digest it slowly. Once I get used to it, this seems to be the norm.

……

The days that followed became more compact, and the children tensed up when they were sent to Mr. Yu's place, while the adults were free to go about their own business.

Rong Yi combined the money collected by the Qi Ming Association with the local households reported below, and had first-hand information about "Ling Yun". After screening, the first and second tranches of money were distributed, and more would follow. And after she started, she had almost no free time.

When dealing with money, you have to be more careful, the better, especially in this fundraising, you can't make any mistakes.

In the past, many money-related matters were handed down from the people above to the people below. Carelessness led to too many fish slipping through the net, which made corruption and bribery more serious.

Rong Yi didn't dare to completely let go and completely trusted the people below. This was her first time dealing with various people below, and it also allowed her to see all kinds of faces and excuses. Some of them went smoothly before. Later, the further away you go, the more situations you encounter.

When she learned some bad news, Rong Yi was so angry that she, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but break a green-glazed porcelain cup. She was so frightened that Ling'er became much better behaved in those days.

After reading the news reported by "Ling Yun", the one-time payment placed in Pingcheng was transferred layer by layer. By the time they reached Phoenix Town, only enough money had been transferred to build a new school, and there was no money left to pay for a teacher. Not to mention the money that should be subsidized to every household.

Ruanxia County in Pingcheng is such a bad official who deceives superiors and conceals information from subordinates!

Rong Yi stood up, looked at Mo Qifeng who came back to report, and said, "If you found it, you should also have found out the evidence of his embezzlement and personal deductions." Mo Qifeng nodded, with a scar between his eyebrows, and looked at He was extremely indifferent, and his voice was also very cold. He said: "However, this county is not simple. Although I have evidence in my hands, it is difficult to directly convict him. During those days in Pingcheng, my subordinates inquired about This Ruanxia County is very rampant on weekdays. Because Pingcheng is located in a remote area, it is difficult to send news, and most of them are farmers. Even if they have grievances, they cannot come here. The farmers below do not know much about the outside world. Young Master, was suppressed by a lower county until he saw the light of day. He thought that lower county was the king's law. He listened to him and worked for him. He thought that this was the only way to live a good life. The taxes they paid were much higher. Every year, there were people To freeze to death and starve to death, in order to get more people to work for him, the lower county promised that as long as each household can provide one strong man to mine for him, he can ensure that the family has enough food and clothing. If he can provide two, it will be even more Well, a lot of things happened in the mines he opened privately, and there were so many bones, it was appalling."

Rong Yi frowned and said in surprise: "How dare he open a mine secretly from a county?"

In Dameng, if there are mines or ancient tombs, they are not allowed to be developed privately. Once discovered, they will be beheaded in public.

Although in some black markets, there are indeed people who have made a fortune by discovering mines and developing good things, but these are a minority after all, let alone officials. Who dares to do such a stupid thing?
Mo Qifeng said: "When I asked the villagers, they didn't know anything about this. They just said something in a vague way. Someone from the top of this county is protecting me. He didn't open this mine by himself. He said that someone from the top ordered him to do it. He was there." A lot of benefits can be gained from top to bottom in the middle.”

Rong Yi: "It's so presumptuous! The officials of the imperial court are opening mines privately one after another. They really have no law in their eyes! This matter is not a trivial matter. It is no longer something I can decide alone. This Ruanxia County, and That jade girl, the person behind them must be found out, otherwise..." It will only harm the people!
Jiang Shunxiao did not wait for his return, but when he heard that the prince was in the mansion, Rong Yi did not dare to delay and took the things in Mo Qifeng's hands to Ronghua Courtyard. She looked solemn and said she had something important to report. Jiang Yimin glanced at her and took She went to the study.

Rong Yi told the truth about Pingcheng. After hearing this, Jiang Yimin looked solemn and asked for evidence. He looked at Rong Yi, calmed down and said, "Besides this matter, is there anything else?"

Rong Yi shook her head and said, "It's gone for the time being, but I think there is some connection between the person behind Ruanxia County and the person behind Yu Niang, the concubine of the Cui family?"

Jiang Yimin: "It's hard to make a conclusion on this matter. If the person behind them is really the same person, then this person's power is a bit uncertain. There are many big shots in the capital, but if we have to talk clearly, I'm afraid no one will dare to say a word. I am really clean. If someone among us does these things secretly, I am afraid there will be a bloody storm in the near future."

Now he thought carefully about being an official in the imperial court. He didn't think anyone had the ability and courage to do these things, but he was also afraid of knowing people and not knowing their hearts. What he was even more afraid of were the royal relatives, those who It would be a real disaster if someone among these people has no king's laws and challenges the iron law.

There are quite a few relatives in the Meng family, but not many who have the power of the city. Most of them are nobles from the Xian family. They are rarely seen even at ordinary celebrity banquets. It would be damned if these people did these things quietly. .

Of course, there are also those who had the power to follow the dragon... The so-called wealth and the charming eyes, if these people have evil thoughts, Jiang Yimin can't think about it carefully. He took a deep breath, saw his daughter-in-law's expression nervous, and said: "This You have done a good job. Since the Queen has entrusted this matter to you, you must do it well. Now it is just a flat city. In the future, you will make more friends and people will come to visit you. It may benefit you, and you will encounter countless temptations, but you have to remember that as a member of the Jiang family, I only hope that you stick to your duty. The Jiang family would rather be poor and offend others than be stigmatized. "
