Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1109: Deceit ([-])

Chu Qing remained silent, not because he was fooled, but because he was thinking about how to deal with these villagers.

According to the law of Daxuan, it is not illegal to dig stones in the mountains, but it is illegal to dig stones from the quarry without permission. Moreover, for individuals, the crime is not light. All illegal income must be returned and a hundred rods will be given. Three years of apprenticeship.

That is to say, after the quarrying proceeds are returned, they will be beaten one hundred times, imprisoned in a certain place, and forced to work for three years.

If the illegal gains cannot be repaid, the prison sentence will be longer depending on the amount of the money.

I ask you if you are afraid of both beating and punishment.

Not to mention whether you can survive after playing [-] times, even if you survive, it will be difficult to recover from your injuries; this is equivalent to saying that the pillar of a family has collapsed.

Another three years of apprenticeship would be a more difficult task than doing corvee labor. It was hard labor.

Those who could survive the hard labor basically lost their labor force, which was equivalent to a family without its support.

These villagers have indeed broken the law, and this is a matter that should be handled by the county government. If the county government fails to handle it, the government government will still have to deal with it. There is no need for Chu Qing to handle it personally anyway.

But what Chu Qing was thinking was that those who broke the law should be punished, but if he received a hundred blows first, he would be half dead even if he was not beaten to death. Wouldn't it be a waste of the labor force of No. [-]?
How effective can forced labor be after that?It's nothing more than adding more corpses to the mass grave.

Heck, I can participate in the management of my own fiefdom, and even say that the prefect still acts based on Duke Yong'an's eyes.

Then we can't waste so much labor in vain.

Also, Chu Qing wanted to transfer all the villagers from Yunwu Village to Yong'an Mansion. Yong'an Mansion was lacking everything, especially people.

We have just determined the location of the boundary markers and found that there are indeed some small villages belonging to Fuzhou Prefecture within the boundaries of Yong'an Prefecture. These are resources and cannot be wasted.

Chu Qing did not intend to discuss this matter with Qi Guiran.

In Chu Qing's eyes, Qi Guiran was the outlet for her anger at the court for the past 12 years, so she had no intention of discussing the matter with him and would just take it out on him.

With this idea in mind, Chu Qing thought that he had not "harassed" the emperor for some time, so he would inform the emperor of the matter later, and did not plan to say anything else to the villagers.

Let them take advantage of this during this period. I'm afraid the Shigang County Magistrate will come to deal with it within a few days.

"Let's go." Chu Qing turned around to leave after speaking.

"Hey, noble man, don't leave. You...huh?" Village Chief Yun'an was a little anxious. He was about to jog two steps to block Chu Qing, but he happened to see Chu Qing turning around, revealing the basket on his back. There is another child in the basket.

After all, Chu Xinghai was young. He walked a lot when he went up the mountain. When he couldn't walk anymore, he asked his father to carry him. When he came down the mountain, Chu Qing carried him, which was much more stable than Chu Yuan. The child felt comfortable and actually fell asleep.

A woman, although she looks rich and noble, but is carrying a baby on her back, she is definitely not the head of the family, but at most the housekeeper of a wealthy family, or the nanny of a young master, Village Chief Yun'an thought.

Since Lord Yong'an is a woman, the government will definitely find a woman to come and discuss the house construction issue with Yong'an Public Transport. This woman should be a servant of the businessman's family who is responsible for building the house.

Thinking of this, Village Chief Yun'an changed his tone and said semi-sarcastically: "Noble sir, we also know that you may not be able to make the decision;
However, when doing things for the master, you have to use the right method. When the price is right, you have to seize the opportunity, otherwise, the next time you come back, it won't be today's price!

Not to mention spending too much money at that time, it might delay the construction period and offend Mr. Yong'an. I don't know if you can afford it. "

Hey, how did Chu Qing think he heard the threat?
"Today's price? What's today's price?" Chu Qingxiao asked, "Have I negotiated the price with you today?"

Village Chief Yun'an was a little sullen. It was true that he had not negotiated the price before, but he was new to it!

But at this moment, Village Chief Yun'an thought that it was fortunate that he arrived in time, otherwise, based on the vision of Village Chief Yunwu, he would have been frightened by these fake nobles who could not make the decision.Village Chief Yun'an said: "Our sincerity has been shown here. In order to reassure you, we even hired so many craftsmen;

As for the price, we didn’t discuss it just now, and it’s not too late to discuss it now. Since you are building the Yong’an Palace, you are not outsiders. Yong’an used our stones to build the Martyrs’ Monument!

We won't ask for high prices for Yong'an Gong, but half price. Ah, the bricks to build a house are half price!

Now the house bricks on the market cost [-] yuan a piece, let’s count it as [-] for you, and the wall bricks as [-] yuan;

As for the large bricks used in courtyards, pools, etc., we will talk about it separately! "

Village Chief Yunwu pulled the back of Village Chief Yun'an's clothes behind him, feeling anxious and angry: There really isn't anyone good in Yun'an Village!Especially the village chief, he is the worst thing!

Who are you that dare to speak so boldly?

No matter how they say they are building a house for Mr. Yongan, they are doing things for Mr. Yongan, and they are here to discuss business on behalf of Mr. Yongan.

We are all ordinary people like ants, how can we negotiate prices with others?

Who do you think you are?
Also, we are taking advantage of the yamen and digging illegally. We can only beg others to buy them, but we cannot threaten them. What if they sue us?
You really want money like crazy, you Yun'an Village want to die, don't drag us Yunwu Village!

Village Chief Yunwu kept tugging at Village Chief Yun'an's back, almost tearing it off, but he couldn't stop Village Chief Yun'an at all.

Village Chief Yun'an thought he was annoying him, so he said that his clothes were moving around because of the dragging. Can others not see it?If you have anything to say, just say it!
If you don’t dare to say it yourself, and you don’t let me say it, you deserve to die in poverty!

Village Chief Yun'an simply turned around and glared at Village Chief Yunwu: "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't say it, don't delay my business negotiation!"

Yunwu Village Chief: "...Sigh."

The head of Yunwu village didn't dare to take the villagers away - what if the head of Yun'an really came to an agreement?What will we do if we don’t have the benefits of Yunwu Village?Then he is not talking in vain?
He is the boss today.

Seeing that Village Chief Yunwu was holding back, Village Chief Yun'an curled his lips in disdain.

He didn't even understand what Yunwu Village Chief had to be afraid of.

The other party is just a woman who has to carry the child on her own when going out. Regardless of her appearance, she looks like a housekeeper or the young master's nanny. What's so scary?

Do you really think that if you build a house for Duke Yong'an, you must be a servant of Duke Yong'an's family?

I don't know!
The mansion of Duke Yong'an must be paid by the imperial court, and finally it will be supervised by the government office. Who will supervise it?Isn't it just that the government office is looking for someone to take care of it?
Who will host it?It's nothing more than finding a businessman who has several construction teams dedicated to building houses for people.

In other words, building a house for the father-in-law requires a better civil engineering team; for ordinary wealthy families, the most they can do is to entrust Yahang to find some day laborers to build houses in the countryside.

Therefore, these people are not even servants of the government, but at most servants of the merchant family who built the mansion!
What else could a servant of a merchant have to fear?Cheap status!
So what if his master's family is rich, can he still stand up for a nanny?
At this time, the village chief Yun'an had already determined in his heart that Chu Qing and his party were the servants of the contractor.

"Ignorant fool!" Village Chief Yun'an scolded Village Chief Yunwu in his heart: "You're so old, you've never been to the city to see the world, right? Anyone can scare you!"

It has been said that if you fight once, you will be rich for three generations, and you must work hard to avoid failure.

Business is not easy to do, so don’t miss the opportunity if you get it!
What can a person do if he has no courage!
