reborn princess

Chapter 501

"Here!" The prince smiled impatiently. "Can't I give it? I'll lend him ten taels of silver for three months."

Xuan Chen raised his brows high and said: "What? Your lord wants to call the carpenters around here to learn the craft from him?"

"You boy, you are like a roundworm in my stomach." The prince raised his hand, lightly punched him on the shoulder, and cursed with a smile. "Yes, this waterwheel is really a good thing. I just took a look at it. In this way, farmers can save a lot of effort and don't have to go to the river to carry water."

Xuan Chen curled his lips, smiled noncommittally, then turned his face to look at Lin Zijun, "What do you mean?"

Lin Zijun said excitedly: "If you can serve the adults, the villains will die!"

Xuan Chen leaned into his ear and said in a low voice: "If you work hard with your lord, you will have great achievements in the future. If you do a good job and satisfy me, I will ask the eldest lady to return your body deed to you !"

"Yes! The villain obeys!"

While talking, a few squires who came to see the fun came over, and they all said innocently: "My lord, I am willing to give 100 taels of silver to build a waterwheel!"

After hearing this, Xuan Chen winked at Lin Zijun.

This Lin Zijun is also smart. He went to the south to learn crafts alone when he was 12 years old. He served his master there and learned to observe words and expressions. When he received a signal from Xuan Chen, he said, "100 taels of silver can't build such a building." A waterwheel needs at least 180 taels of silver, and 100 taels of silver is not even enough for materials. Moreover, it is impossible to build such a waterwheel without the help of forty or fifty strong laborers, and wages must be paid. "

Seeing Xuan Chen winking at him, the prince knew that Xuan Chen had a lot of eyes, so he smiled and didn't speak.

When the country gentry heard what he said, they looked at the prince one after another, and someone said, "My lord, didn't you say before that you only need 100 taels of silver to build such a waterwheel?"

"You may have misunderstood." Lin Zijun said again. "There are three types of waterwheels: large, medium, and small. The ones that cost 100 taels of silver each should be small waterwheels. This kind of large waterwheel is more expensive, but it can irrigate more fields. Small waterwheels are cheaper, but they irrigate fewer fields. "

The crown prince thought he was clever, so he glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "Your name is Zijun?"

Lin Zijun hurriedly said: "The villain's surname is Lin, Lin Zijun."

"Well, Lin Zijun, I will give you full responsibility for the construction of the water tanker. I will send a few people to assist you. Come to the Yamen tomorrow morning."

Lin Zijun was overjoyed and knelt down for him again, "Yes, the villain obeys!"

The prince said impatiently: "Okay, get up quickly, don't just kneel outside, the ground is full of dirt, strangely dirty, the clothes are dirty, is it your mother who worked hard?"

"Yes, thank you sir for your compassion!" Lin Zijun stood up gratefully, feeling as if he was in a dream, how could he be hit by such a big job?
"Brother Chen, I still have work to do, so I'm going back first." The crown prince greeted Xuan Chen, smiled at Shen Weilan, turned around and walked to the carriage parked beside him, got on the carriage, and was greeted by several guards. He went back to the yamen under the protection of the emperor.

"Let's go back too. I don't know anything about the field. It's enough to know that the waterwheel is good." Shen Weilan felt a little bored, so she wanted to go home too. The quiet countryside is full of uproar, just like a vegetable market.

As long as she knew that this year's drought might be alleviated by the appearance of waterwheels, her heart would be relieved a lot.

"Alright, let's go back." Xuan Chen always doted on her, and when she heard that she wanted to go back, she immediately agreed.

Everyone got on their horses and galloped all the way back home.

After washing off the dust all over her body and changing her clothes, Shen Weilan sat on the Kang and drank tea.

After a while, Xuan Chen, who had also washed and changed his clothes, came in, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang with a calm expression, and sat across from Shen Weilan on the kang table, facing each other.

"You gave Lin Zijun the wink today to let him find a way to cheat those squires out of money?" Shen Weilan asked when he saw that he had finished drinking tea.

Xuan Chen couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, my name is robbing the rich and giving to the poor. There are many ordinary people around here who only guard a few acres of Susukida. It's good to help them. But I didn't expect that the Lin family is so clever that he can understand what I mean. "

Shen Weilan couldn't help smiling, "You, you just have a lot of ghosts."

……

After Shen Weilan rested at home for two days, she decided to go to Yunshan County to see Song Hengzhi and his wife. As her senior follower, Xuan Chen naturally wanted to accompany her.

When Xuan Chen went, his large group of guards would naturally follow, and a large group of people and two carriages set off on the road in a mighty manner.

In fact, since returning to Liaocheng, Xuan Chen's mood has not been too high, and there is no other reason. Shen Weilan is not sleeping in Shen Weilan's room. Now is the time to get into her bed.

But as soon as he went out, his emotions became high. When he went out, he would inevitably stay in a hotel or something, and there was no girl following her, so he could do whatever he wanted.

So, as soon as he left the entrance of the village, he got off the horse and got into the carriage.

"Daughter-in-law, did you miss me these two days? Did you sleep well at night? Did you dream of me when you were dreaming?" He stuck to Shen Weilan like a dog skin plaster and refused to leave.

It made Shen Weilan very depressed, "Be honest, if you do this again, I will tell my father and let him beat you up!"

Her threat is very powerful, but it will be ineffective when used on this shameless guy, and he doesn't care at all.

A group of people outside the car thought to themselves, the son is really a rascal!
At the same time, I have deep sympathy for Shen Weilan!

But at most it can only be sympathy, no one can save Shen Weilan from the "demon clutches".

Yunshan County is 180 miles west of Liaocheng. If you ride a horse, you can get there in half a day, but if you drive a horse-drawn carriage, it will take two days. You need to rest at an inn along the way.

Xuan Chen used his shameless skills again, and successfully got into Shen Weilan's bed, making Shen Weilan feel ashamed to see others!
In the evening of the next day, a group of people entered Yunshan County.

When entering the city, Du Xihua, who was driving the car, asked the city gate officer, "Excuse me, how can I get to the county government office?"

"County Yamen?" Hearing this, the gate guard who guarded the city looked him up and down a few times. "Inquire about what the county government office is doing?"

Du Xihua said honestly: "Visit relatives!"

"Going to relatives?" The city gate officer who guarded the city checked his wayfinding, and had planned to let him pass, but when he asked, he blocked the fence on the road again. "Are you related to someone in the county government office?"

Just as Du Xihua was about to say that he was related to the magistrate, Wu Ming who was on the side suddenly said, "The cook of the magistrate's house is my grandma's aunt who has been lost for many years. She just inquired about the news and sent us to visit the old lady. If you want to take the old lady back to take care of her, it will be convenient for me and my brothers."

With that said, another ingot of silver was stuffed in.

When the city gate officer saw Yinzi, he stopped making things difficult for them and asked someone to remove the walking barrier, "Go in! But don't blame me for not reminding you, the county government is in chaos now, you better not run around. Also avoid being implicated and suffering."

"Thank you brothers for reminding me!" Wu Ming bowed and bowed again, winked at Du Xihua, and a group of people entered the city.

Wu Ming followed beside the carriage and said in a low voice, "My lord, something is wrong!"

"Well, I heard it!" Xuan Chen also heard the words of the city gate officer just now, and after a reply, he opened his mouth and said. "Let's find an inn to live in first!"

"Yes!" Wu Ming agreed, and after inquiring in the city, he found the Rujia Inn, and a group of people stayed in it.

After everyone cleaned up, Wu Ming came back and said, "Something happened to the county government!"

Shen Weilan couldn't help asking anxiously: "What happened?"

The relationship between her and Song Hengzhi's family is different. Xuan Chen said that she would stay in the inn first, and she was a little unhappy. At this time, she heard that something happened to the county government, and she couldn't help being very anxious.

Wu Ming pondered for a while, and said: "A few days ago, someone went to the yamen to file a complaint, and Mr. Song dealt with it. Who knew that the person who lost was killed at the door of the yamen when he went out. The guard Zhong Shijie of Yunshan County It is said that Mr. Song cares about human life, and he wants to join Mr. Song. Now, the county government is surrounded by a group of people, saying that Song Hengzhi is a corrupt official who forced people to death, and Song Hengzhi should be driven out of Yunshan County."

Xuan Chen and Shen Weilan looked at each other, both felt that this was a bit impossible, they knew who Song Hengzhi was.

Shen Weilan got up and walked out, "No, I have to go and have a look!"

Xuan Chen also felt that it would be good to see what was going on with his own eyes, so a group of people walked to the county government office in Yunshan County. After seeing this, it was just like what Wu Ming said, there was a group of people gathered at the gate of the county government office in Yunshan County. A large group of people in ragged clothes, some took the lead in shouting slogans from time to time: "Corrupt official Song Hengzhi, get out of Yunshan County!"

Shen Weilan's complexion was not very good, after thinking about it, she said, "Let's go to the back door and have a look!"

The general house has a back corner door, which is convenient for the servants to enter and exit, and the yamen is no exception.

The crowd went around from the alley on the side, but they didn't expect to come to the back door, and they were dumbfounded again. It turned out that there were also many people gathered at the back door, and they were also ragged.

Shen Weilan let out a sigh of relief, she really didn't expect that Song Hengzhi would face such a difficult scene when he arrived in Yunshan County.

Xuan Chen frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Wu Ming, drive everyone away!"

"Don't!" Shen Weilan stopped his recklessness. "We don't know what's going on now, don't use force yet, otherwise, Uncle Yu Song's official reputation will be bad!"

"Then what should we do?" Xuan Chen stared at the group of people and said bitterly. "Is it just for these unscrupulous people to insult the decency of the court officials?"
