Chapter 254 A Gentleman Doesn't Care About His Heart When He Talks About His Deeds, Nobody Is Perfect When He Talks About His Mind!
Jingzhou.
Above officialdom.
Qin Yu and his party rode their horses southward.
However, in order to take care of Su Fu, the speed of travel was not very fast.
Xiao Nan followed Qin Yu and asked: "Brother-in-law, it is unrealistic for us to camp in such a cold weather, and the inn cannot accommodate us. Do you want to say hello to the government offices along the way in advance? Let them arrange a place for us in advance.
?”
Qin Yu hasn't spoken yet.
Su Fu was the first to speak, "It's better not to give up. There are so many of us. Just feeding people and horses will cost a lot of money. Government offices in various places are not well-off. If they are used to extort money from the people, then it will be
It’s not good.”
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "What Mr. Su said is reasonable. It seems that my thinking was too simple. I really didn't think about it in this regard."
Su Fu's words made Xiao Nan feel like he was enlightened.
Although the matter is not big, the truth contained in it is not small.
Xiao Nan was also a little excited, which is why he likes to go out with Qin Yu. No matter how big or small, there is always a way to be a king.
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and it is better to read countless people than to travel thousands of miles. Your Highness, you have learned something along the way."
Xiao Nan nodded heavily, "Okay, I will definitely watch, listen and learn more."
Regarding Xiao Nan’s attitude.
Qin Yu and Su Fu are still very satisfied. They are humble and eager to learn, and they can correct their mistakes after they know it. This is already extremely difficult.
Immediately afterwards.
Xiao Nan asked: "Brother-in-law, where should we live?"
Qin Yu said calmly: "My uncle has made arrangements for us a long time ago. There will be big merchants to receive us along the way, so we don't have to worry about having no place to stay."
Su Fu looked at Qin Yu with approving eyes, "It seems that you don't want to disturb the government office. Qin Xiaoyou has already foreseen it."
"hehe......"
Qin Yu smiled modestly, "What we can do ourselves is to try not to trouble others. The front is the boundary of Fuyang County. Let's rest tonight in Qingshan Village, fifty miles away."
Along the way, Qin Yu also avoided entering the city.
After all, these more than a thousand people are conspicuous wherever they go, and the city's prefect cannot turn a blind eye to their identities.
And Qin Yu still has a mission.
...
At night, the moon and stars are few and far between.
Fuyang County.
Qingshan Village.
Qin Yu from Fuyang County is no stranger to him. He led Xiaoyulou to kill the top killers of the photo studio in Zhaojia Town, Fuyang County in those few months.
Qingshan Village is not far from here.
In front of the town.
An old man wearing brocade clothes has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Qin Yu and the others, the man hurriedly greeted them, "Liu Chen, a common man, has met His Highness the Crown Prince, the Prince Consort, and Doctor Su."
Liu Chen, a native of Fuyang County, was a well-known local merchant and landlord, and the entire village was his tenant.
He and Zhang Zhixin are close friends, and Liu Chen is more conscientious than ordinary landlords.
In the distribution of grain, two tenants, three officials, three principals and five principals were the rule among the landowners in the Wei Dynasty.
But Liu Chen was one of the few landlords in the Wei Dynasty who gave his tenants 40% of their grain.
Therefore, he is also known as Liu Dashanren in Fuyang County.
After all, there are really not many landlords who can treat their tenant farmers like this.
Moreover, the tenant farming villages under Liu Chen's family business have very complete infrastructure, and there are doctors hired by Liu Chen who can provide free medical treatment to the tenant farmers.
During the New Year and festivals, he would also distribute meat to tenants. Although it was not much, it was enough to prove that Liu Chen was a kind-hearted person.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "You're welcome, Mr. Liu, I'm going to be annoying you tonight."
Liu Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "This is what we should do. It is an honor for ordinary people to receive important people like you."
Later, under Liu Chen's arrangement.
Qin Yu and others moved into several empty courtyards in Qingshan Village.
Originally, Su Fu was very disgusted with the landlords.
But Liu Chen is indeed not comparable to those ordinary landlords who oppress the people in the fish and meat village.
He took great care of his tenant farmers and would stand up for them, and would provide money for weddings and funerals.
This point really impressed Su Fu.
Moreover, if these people did not work as tenants under Liu Chen, they would also be exploited by other landlords.
The most important thing is that Liu Chen's land was not acquired through annexation, but purchased. Many tenants were refugees he took in and then settled down.
So not only did he not exploit the people, he also saved many victims.
Whenever there is a major disaster, others are busy annexing land and abducting victims.
He opened a tent to give out porridge, and his character was not worth mentioning.
Otherwise Qin Yu would not come here to stay.
Qin Yu actually came here today for other purposes.
Emperor Wei and Daddy gave him a mission.
Let him explore the attitudes of landlords in various places towards land reform along the way.
...
Mansion.
hall.
Liu Chen personally set up a reception banquet for Qin Yu and others.
Qin Yu, Xiao Nan, and Su Fu were sitting in the hall.
Liu Chen picked up the cup with a smile on his face, "Today you can come and stay at my despised landlord's house. It really makes this humble house shine."
The two most hated people in the imperial court.
Merchant.
Landlord.
Liu Chen laughed at himself that he had everything.
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to belittle yourself. We have all heard of your deeds. A gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds. There is no perfect person in the world!"
"Although you are a merchant and a landowner, your actions have proven that you are a gentleman. Not to mention us, even if your Majesty comes here, we will not be able to find fault with you."
Liu Chen paused, his eyes brightened, and he murmured, "A gentleman ignores his heart when it comes to his deeds, and there is no perfect person in the world..."
As he said that, he looked at Qin Yu with excitement on his face, "Prince-in-law, what you said is very good! Your words are the greatest affirmation to the common people!"
Su Fu and others also looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
The Prince Consort really speaks his mind well.
Shen Binglan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She was really impressed by Qin Yu.
Obviously, I spend my whole day either listening to music or watching dances, or going to Jiaofangsi or Goulan.
But he is quite open-minded.
Immediately afterwards.
Xiao Nan looked at Liu Chen and said slowly: "Mr. Liu, I would like to ask, what do you think about the news at the Qiansou Banquet that His Majesty announced that he would carry out land reform in the Wei Dynasty?"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Xiao Nan to ask this topic.
It seems that he is also very concerned about this matter.
Liu Chen put down his cup and said hurriedly: "Of course the common people support the imperial court's decision. If the imperial court wants land reform, I will be the first to give the land to the people. But now I can't. Even if I am willing to give it, they will not be able to do so in three months.
Become someone else’s tenant.”
Liu Chen's words let Qin Yu and Xiao Nan know how serious the land annexation trend in the Wei Dynasty is now!
Xiao Nan frowned deeply and continued: "Mr. Liu, what is the attitude of the other landowners towards this matter?"
Liu Chen sighed, "They will fight the court to the end, burn grain, and revolt. Now some landowners have even begun to give up 10% of their grain to tenant farmers for training during their spare time!"
Hear this.
Xiao Nan was shocked.
He did not expect that the landlord class would react so violently just after Emperor Wei revealed the news.
Qin Yu looked calm.
He had expected this outcome.
Moreover, landowners generally have interests in relations with local officials.
Therefore, land reform will never be accomplished overnight.
