Chapter 223: no longer official

As a well-known figure in Dazhen Shilin, Yin Zhaoxian has come to a time when he needs to pay attention to his image. After Yu Wanzhou took office and got to know him for a while, he realized that he could not express certain emotions at will.

​​

Even in front of his wife, Yin Zhaoxian still couldn't show the depression in his heart too clearly, for fear that his wife would be too worried, but at the moment in front of Ji Yuan, there is no such concern, which is a rare way of venting his emotions.

​​

"Huh... let Mr. Ji laugh!"

​​

This will make Yin Zhaoxian a little excited. It seems that he is not less angry in the officialdom. Even a person with stable temperament is like this. Of course, it may be that he has accumulated too much temper for a long time, so he will be a little excited when he vents. .

​​

Ji Yuan held the tea cup and didn't drink it. He just blew the tea in the tea cup lightly. In fact, the breeze blew the air in the room, blowing away the stagnant qi from his friend's body, which made him calm down a lot.

​​

"Master Yin, it seems that this rich and prosperous place in Wanzhou is not as good as other places imagined it?"

​​

Hearing that Mr. Ji finally called himself "Master Yin" again, Yin Zhaoxian felt inexplicably better, and then sighed.

​​

"Hey... Mr. Ji doesn't know something, Wanzhou is indeed a rich place, but some people are full of gold and jade, and some people can't eat enough, the former is less than the latter, it's just sick! You can imagine a small Lizheng..."

​​

As Yin Zhaoxian spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pinched the tip of his little finger, almost shaking his hand as he gestured towards Ji Yuan.

​​

"Such a small official with bigger sesame and mung beans actually holds fifty hectares of mulberry fields in his hands. How did he get this field? Could he have so many in his lifetime?"

​​

Yin Zhaoxian took a sigh of relief, took a sip from the tea cup, and then added.

​​

"What's even more irritating is that there are at least 1,000 acres of Yongye Field in these fifty hectares of fields, which are the lifeblood of the people!"

​​

Ji Yuan's brows furrowed, thinking about it now, the Wanzhou area he passed by when he rode the clouds was indeed a land with more mulberry forests and less grain. It seemed that it was not that everyone grew mulberry and sericulture together to get rich together, but that all the people's fields were annexed?

​​

Perhaps in the beginning, farmers were indeed tempted by the benefits of planting mulberry and raising silkworms. Then, after various natural disasters or man-made losses, they bought mulberry fields at a seemingly "fair" price. Other industries are even more high-level, and the people have nowhere to go.

​​

From small to big, Lishun Prefecture and even the entire Wanzhou, many farmers and common people really have very little land. If they want to eat enough, most of the time they have to rely on the landlord. But farming is fine. There are not so many people in the farm, and most of the benefits that farmers can get go to the wealthy households.

​​

And more importantly, the farmers who help Gaomen raise silkworms and make silk can only get paid in coins. If Wanzhou does not have enough food, they have to buy it from other places. To buy food, they have to deal with the profit exploitation of multiple traders, and the price fluctuation is not a problem. Farmers can decide who has the final say in grain price fluctuations. Naturally, it is linked to natural disasters, but it is the mouth of wealthy businessmen and officials who have the final say.

​​

What should I do when I don't have enough money? Mortgage the property for the coming year!

​​

Listening to Yin Zhaoxian's analysis like this, even Ji Yuan, the "immortal" in the eyes of ordinary people, can't help but feel a creepy feeling. Over the years, the farmers in Wanzhou have been swallowed up bit by bit for their survival. , like the silkworms of Wanzhou eating mulberry leaves...

​​

Yin Zhaoxian drank the tea from the teacup, and sneered again.

​​

"Everywhere in my Dazhen area, everyone said: Bingzhou's grain, Wanzhou's silk, hum, but how can the situation of the people of Wanzhou be compared with that of Bingzhou?"

​​

Ji Yuan couldn't help but nod his head. He has been in Bingzhou for a long time. Although most of the time he is only practicing in Yunshan, but every time the rice harvesting season on the land of Bingzhou, the farmers are busy with laughter and laughter. a lot.

​​

"Then Master Yin is doing something there?"

​​

Yin Zhaoxian shook his head.

​​

"If I really want to be able to see one and move one, why do I feel so depressed? I came to Wanzhou for the past two years. First, I carefully observed the people's sentiments and did not show any attitude. I understand that this is a matter of pulling one hair and moving the whole body, although there is only one hair for me, but I can't easily touch him!"

​​

Although Ji Yuan didn't understand the officialdom, the words of his friend were enough to show that Master Yin's understanding of the officialdom was still in place, and he was definitely not an officialdom fool, and he also let go of some concerns in his heart.

​​

"Master Yin is in the position of prefect, and he is not unrelated to the court, so he is so afraid of it?"

​​

Ji Yuan also mentioned the teapot to refill the tea for his friend, just like the afternoons when they chatted with each other in the Ju'an Courtyard.

​​

Yin Zhaoxian has also calmed down now, just like Ji Yuan, so he doesn't feel restrained, just pick up the tea and drink it.

​​

"Although the court's inspectors have returned to Wanzhou for so many years, they have said nothing has happened, but this is not enough. I am afraid that there are also deep-rooted interests involved in the court. One Lishun House and the entire Wanzhou have a lot to do!"

​​

Yin Zhaoxian's speech at this moment is completely like an old official who has been in the officialdom, not a rookie official who has only been sent from the top spot for a few years.

​​

Although Ji Yuan felt uncomfortable for the people of Wanzhou, but after some exchanges, she was not too worried about her friends, so she asked a question like a joke, but there was no teasing tone.

​​

"Then Master Yin was sent to Wanzhou, don't the interest groups here see you as a thorn in the eye?"

​​

"It's not enough to be a thorn in the eye, but fear is inevitable, especially when Yin Moucai took office, he was on guard day and night. Haha, thinking about it now, it's ridiculous!"

​​

Yin Zhaoxian changed his mind when he said this.

​​

"However, even though Yin Mou came here, although he carefully inspected the people's feelings, he did not have any extra actions. He looked like he only cared about his own affairs, which also made them relax. Now the officials of Lishun Prefecture and even Wanzhou think that Yin Mou is three yuan. The first and only Gao Badou was sent to Wanzhou to be gilded, and sooner or later he will be promoted to the capital, and I don’t want anything to happen in his tenure, he is a stable master!”

​​

"It's ironic. After that, more and more people came to Yin to give gifts, and from small households to high households, their positions became higher and higher."

​​

"Oh? It's all worth the money?"

​​

Ji Yuan reached out and touched the teapot, making the tea temperature suitable again, and refilled a cup for himself and his friends.

​​

"It's very valuable, or in other words, a large part of it was originally money! The silver that was white and the bright gold. After all, everyone is optimistic about me, Yin Zhaoxian, rising step by step, maybe it will be a new backer in the future. "

​​

Yin Zhaoxian showed a smile, and also said something to Ji Yuan jokingly.

​​

"These gifts, Yin Mou will not refuse anyone who comes, and accept them all!"

​​

Hearing this, Ji Yuan didn't show it on the surface, but he was stunned for a while, but he realized something in an instant. He still had confidence in the character of his friend. This confidence came from his understanding of Master Yin and also from this moment. Master Yin's body had a pure and condensed aura of righteousness.

​​

"Why, Master Yin plans to settle accounts first, then soldiers and autumn?"

​​

"My parents are those who gave birth to me, and those who know me have a plan! I remember every gift, every time, every time!"

​​

It is rare for Yin Zhaoxian to be unfathomable in front of his friends at this moment.

​​

"If it is said that in the entire Dazhen court and the opposition, except for me, Yin Zhaoxian, who else hates this matter the most, then it must be the current sage."

​​

Ji Yuan looked at Yin Zhaoxian, shook his head and sighed.

​​

"As far as Ji knows, the old emperor was obsessed with the auspicious auspiciousness at the beginning, and now he is preparing for a land and water dharma meeting, and he is going to gather 'famous people' from all walks of life in Dazhen to participate. "

​​

In addition to frowning, Yin Zhaoxian didn't have any special expressions, let alone that his friend's tone was rebellious.

​​

Ji Yuan smiled and continued to speak leisurely.

​​

"He is the hub of great virginity, and he enjoys the honor of thousands of people. It is possible to prolong his life, but if he wants to ask the immortals, unless he can give up the honor, it is impossible for him to grasp with both hands."

​​

Yin Zhaoxian is not entangled in this issue either.

​​

"The sage may no longer be young and strong, but he will not be indifferent to the affairs of Wanzhou, and there is also a king of Jin who has great ambitions. As early as half a year ago, I passed His Royal Highness the king of Jin. I didn't say much, I just informed the hush money from all the gift givers, Mr. Ji can guess how much it is."

​​

When Ji Yuan saw Master Yin like this, she thought to herself that I'm not desperate to guess, so she opened her mouth and said.

​​

"Fifty thousand taels of silver?"

​​

Yin Zhaoxian shook his head.

​​

"No, no, no!"

​​

"One hundred thousand taels?"

​​

Seeing that Master Yin was still shaking his head, Ji Yuan spoke immediately.

​​

"Fifty thousand taels of gold?"

​​

"Mr. Ji guess again, some of the things Yin obtained are yellow and white, and some are rare and antiques."

​​

Ji Yuan grinned, his right hand hidden in his sleeve pinched his fingers, and then made a slightly surprised voice.

​​

"There are 210,000 taels of gold!?"

​​

Yin Zhao was taken aback by this precise data, and then nodded his head to answer.

​​

"Not bad~www.NovelMTL.com~ After a few years, if you count all the curiosities, it should be worth about two million taels of silver, hum, it's almost worth the annual money that Wanzhou turned over to the treasury for half a year!"

​​

"I am a prefect of Lishun House. Although I have some prospects, I have received so many benefits during my two-year term of office. You say how much black money they have deducted from the court? Can the emperor not be angry?"

​​

Yin Zhaoxian sneered when he said this.

​​

"It was said in the secret letter from King Jin that the sage received my secret report and smashed the favorite set of tea cups in the imperial study!"

​​

Although many emperors in the past dynasties have been like this, Emperor Yuande did not think he would be one of them. Now that he finds that he is really being fooled by the following deceit, one can imagine the anger in his heart. .

​​

Hearing this, how could Ji Yuan not know that his friend had already made a plan in his heart, and he was half relieved and half emotional.

​​

'Master Yin is no longer an official child! ’
