After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 81 Merchant
"Thank you for helping me again."

Looking past the window, Bai Fu smiled when he saw Da Ya and Xiao Si Er who were distributing nutritious lunches by the gate of the college.

Although there are more people watching the excitement than receiving meals, but everything is difficult at the beginning, so don't worry.

Qin Shisan's lukewarm voice came from behind, "As long as you don't want to spread the food shop to our college, I can still help with this little favor."

"How can it be."

Bai Fu sat back, opened a lunch box and handed it to Qin Shisan, "Although you didn't take the test, I still opened a back door for you. Are you very touched?"

Qin Shisan glanced down at the lunch box--
There are vegetables, eggs, meat, soup, and fruit. The serving size is not much. The rice is multigrain rice, with beans and sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface, neatly stacked, colorful, and very eye-catching.

"Is this what you call a nutritious meal?"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, "The taste is a bit bland, it seems to be different from what you eat at your house."

Bai Fu said: "It is said that it is a nutritious meal, so naturally we should pay more attention to nutrition. If the taste is heavy, it will affect the study in the afternoon, so it is not suitable."

"Brother Luo"

Yan Mingfang entered the classroom with a lunch box, and immediately saw Luo Jin who was sipping nutritious meals while reading, and shouted enthusiastically.

Luo Jin stopped his chopsticks, looked up and saw that his classmate was also holding a lunch box, nodded and smiled.

"Brother Yan took it too."

Yan Mingfang opened the lunch box and picked up the chopsticks, "I tried the one you brought that time, and I thought it tasted good. I've been thinking about it all the time. It turns out that your relative owns a restaurant?"

Luo Jin nodded.

"Yes, my family is good at cooking, and I plan to open a shop."

So it's a restaurant that hasn't opened yet?

Yan Mingfang was a little surprised, glanced at the food box, and asked:
"This meal doesn't look like a lot, but there are many kinds, and the dishes are fresh and exquisite. I'm afraid it's not cheap, so I will give it away for free. Are your relatives rich?"

"You get what you have to give up." Luo Jin smiled, without going into details, and lowered his head to continue reading.

Seeing Luo Jin avoiding the topic, Yan Mingfang's eyes flickered slightly.

Originally thought that Luo Jin would be ruined when the Luo family collapsed, but he didn't expect that not only was he not destroyed, but he was also studying harder and improving his studies.

Now the master is more and more satisfied to see him, so it turns out that there is a rich relative behind him.

"Masters also received nutritious meals?" Yan Mingfang asked suddenly.

Luo Jin was taken aback.

"I don't know this, why brother Yan asks such a question?"

The young master was afraid that he would be distracted, so he wouldn't let him get involved in the business of the shop. Recently, his studies were really heavy, so he didn't ask any questions. He only went to talk to Xiao Si'er and Da Ya while picking up the meal.

Yan Mingfang laughed dryly.

"Just asking by the way, the masters are also very hard."

Luo Jin groaned, and turned his gaze back to the book, but Yan Mingfang didn't disturb others' consciousness at all, and suddenly leaned over and lowered his voice:
"I heard that this time Qiu Wei, the higher-ups want to reduce the admission quota of our merchants."

Luo Jin frowned, and had to raise his head again, "Where is the news?"

Although merchants can now participate in the scientific examination, the policy has not been introduced for a long time, and there are still some overt and secret trade-offs and conflicts of interests behind it.

There has always been a folk saying that the emperor's faction supports the expansion of the number of merchants, but the regent's faction has always opposed it, and even used taxes and various restrictions to suppress merchants.

Yan Mingfang was also a businessman, so he would pay more attention to the trend in this area. Luo Jin often heard some gossip from him.

Yan Mingfang looked around and continued to lower his voice.

"Isn't my uncle in charge of document compilation in the state capital? He heard from his colleagues that the regent has issued an order to strictly check the backgrounds of merchants and farmers' students this year."

Hearing this, Luo Jin breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the book again.

"In what year was there no strict investigation?" He said lightly.

“This time is different”

Seeing that the other party didn't take it seriously, Yan Mingfang emphasized his tone, "I heard that this time not only check the documents, but also actually visit the households."

Visit the household?I haven't had this before, but——
Luo Jin smiled, "Just check, it's not just for merchants."

"What happened to merchants?"

In the court hall, facing the accusation of the purple-robed civil servant, the regent king in python robe said lightly.

What's wrong?How dare you ask?
The purple-robed civil servant stepped forward to salute the silent emperor on the throne, and then Dayi spoke awe-inspiringly:

"The treasury of Daye is empty. Your majesty has worked so hard to fill the treasury with licensed merchants who are lowly registered as officials. As the regent, you openly oppose the reuse of merchants, and even make things difficult for merchants. What is the face of your majesty? Where is the foundation of the great industry? "

As soon as the words were finished, a wat board slammed down, knocking off the hat of the purple-robed official to the ground.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, followed by a low inhalation sound.

The purple-robed civil servant raised his head sharply, and glared fiercely at an empty-handed purple-robed official behind the regent, but before he could get angry, the official made an innocent expression.

The purple-robed official understood, and pointed his finger at the regent, "How could the regent be so rude in front of the Holy One!"

The regent looked like a normal person, and after a while he raised his eyelids and looked over, "Su Shangshu, don't make any loud noises in front of the imperial court."

The emperor on the throne closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, and said slowly:
"Stop arguing, the two lovers. They are all for the great cause of the country. What can't be discussed? Regent, please answer Su Shangshu's question just now."

The corners of the Prince Regent's lips curled up coolly.

"Why target merchants? It's simple."

He said slowly, "The merchants have participated in the imperial examination for two years, and each merchant student has paid a huge amount of money, but there has been no improvement in the treasury's finances. The military salaries of our border troops are still not paid, and this king thinks there must be tricks in it. Presumably His Majesty doesn't want to worry about the border, so in order to give the soldiers a proper explanation, what's wrong with strictly checking the merchants?"

This is a blatant threat.

Who doesn't know that the security of the border depends entirely on the regent's words.

The emperor stopped pressing his temples and looked at the regent, "The regent thinks, how can we investigate properly to explain it properly?"

"This king feels that Su Shangshu's household department is self-declared clear and clear, and is no longer responsible for related matters, and the strict investigation is entrusted to other people."

Some troubles, only late, but not absent.

Xiao Si'er has a deep understanding of this sentence.

When the man whom he had overwhelmed suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, he was startled and angry, and the corners of his mouth twitched non-stop.

"That and that."

Xiao Si'er usually has a sharp mouth, but now he can't straighten it, and finally he just broke his heart.

"Young master, it's actually not my idea, it's my young master who made me brag about it! And we did it to save you! You can't avenge your kindness!"

He said with a serious face.

The young man just stared wide-eyed, and did not let go of the hand that grabbed his collar, and said aggressively:

"I don't care whose idea it is, you made me a joke anyway, so I can't just let it go!"

You are still joking!

In order to save you, I have been laughed at by my son for many days!

Little Si'er is simply inexplicable.

"What joke? I don't know you, where can I laugh at you?"

After all, Xiao Si'er got a little angry, and stretched out his hand to break the opponent's hand, but this person seemed to be a practitioner, his arm was as hard as a rock, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.

"Let go!" he said angrily.

"You went to Guojia Village to say it? Why?"

The young man looked angry. Seeing the other party struggling, he unconsciously gained a little more strength in his hand.

After he returned that day, he caught a cold and recuperated at home. No one said anything about what happened that day, but when he recovered from his illness and went out, he found that even the lowest maid in the family knew that he fell into the water and was kissed by a man.

It is simply unbearable!

Xiao Si'er didn't turn his head around, and looked confused.

"Say what?" he asked.

"Say"

The man paused, as if he couldn't speak, finally gritted his teeth, "What happened that day!"

Forced to think about the events of that day again, Xiao Si'er felt a chill.

"I didn't even know you were from Guojia Village, how could I say that!"

"Still quibbling, I checked, and they said it was a person named Xiao Si'er from Xiaoxi Village who said it himself!"

Xiao Si'er wanted to cry but had no tears, felt that he could not communicate with this person, and was about to call for help, when the other party's hand suddenly let go as if he had been hit hard.

At the same time, a voice came from behind.

"What kind of hero is bullying children in broad daylight?"

It's the son!
Xiao Si'er was overjoyed, and quickly ran back, hiding behind Bai Fu, "Young Master, we are really entangled!"

This nonsensical sentence, Bai Fu didn't react for a moment, just stared at the young man with his arms folded and grinning, with a cold look on his face.

Xiao Si'er explained a few words in a low voice, and Bai Fu finally recognized who it was.

"We saved your life that day. You are so aggressive. You think we shouldn't save you. Let you die that day?"

Bai Fu said, and then a clear expression flashed across his face.

"Oh, could it be that you threw yourself into the river, and we ruined your good deed?!" She said with a strange expression.

"you!"

The young man only felt a force hit his arm for a while, forcing him to let go. Before he recovered, he was dizzy from a series of questions, "You threw yourself into the river!"

Bai Fu said meaningfully again, "Look at that man."

"If it's not throwing yourself into the river, then it's accidentally drowning. You're drowning. We'll save you. It's fine if you don't come to thank us afterwards, but come to settle accounts with us? What's your name? Which family is it from? Do your parents know if you're like this?"

The other party choked when asked, and stared blankly at the thin figure in front of him with scrutiny.

Little Si quickly interjected.

"My lord, he said just now that he is from the Guo family village, slandering me to deliberately publicize the fact that he was kissed by a man! Do you think he has that serious illness you mentioned?"

Bai Fu: "."

That is really a serious illness.

After that rescue, Xiao Si'er was so scared by her that she dared not go back to the village for several days. They didn't know who the rescued person was.

Now if this person hadn't come to the door by himself, Bai Fu might not have recognized him when he was walking on the road.

After thinking for a while, Bai Fu looked at the other party.

"Whether you believe it or not, we didn't say it anyway, and it won't do us any good to say it. You can settle your grievances with anyone by yourself, and don't come to trouble us."
