Chapter 151
Li Mian smiled helplessly: "The Green Crop Law is very good, and the bad ones are the people who implement the Green Crop Law. Mr. Jiefu's original intention of promoting the Green Crop Law is just like yours. It is to let the common people live a better life. The grain stored in the Qingcang and Guanghuicang was used as capital and lent to the common people, so as to prevent the common people from borrowing usury from officials, gentry and doctors to survive the famine."

At the mention of loan sharks, not only Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth, but even Liu Rushi and Bao'er showed annoyed expressions.

As long as the common people borrow loan sharks, there is only one end. They only borrowed some grain, and all the land in their hands has to be returned to the officials, gentlemen and doctors as interest.

They even sold their sons and daughters, and finally found a crooked neck tree and hanged themselves.

Seeing the anger on the faces of the three of them, Li Mian knew that the common people hated loan sharks, but he had no choice but to borrow loan sharks from officials, gentlemen and doctors in times of famine, and the whole family could only starve to death. .

Li Mian continued: "Jiefu Gongzheng is well aware of the poison of loan sharks to the common people, so he introduced the Young Crops Law. The government lends food to the common people and only charges very low interest. As long as it can be implemented in a real way, it will definitely make people The common people will benefit, no longer be poisoned by loan sharks, and they don’t have to worry about family ruin in times of famine.”

Li Mian sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Jiefu's idea is very good, but there were big problems when it was implemented, because the officials who implemented the New Deal Young Crops Law were members of the officials, gentlemen and doctors, how could they just watch My own interests were damaged, so I came up with various methods of undermining the Green Crop Law, so that in the end, the food borrowed by the government was higher than the interest of loan sharks. If you have to pay it back, more people’s families will be ruined.”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he understood that it was not the Green Crop Law that was wrong, but the people who implemented the Green Crop Law.

Sun Chuanting was full of bitterness: "It's no wonder that Liu Rushi assassinated Sun, and it's no wonder that the common people hate Sun. It seems that when we were in Daxing County, the officials were obedient on the surface, and they didn't know how many insidious tricks were used in private." means."

When Sun Chuanting said this, he felt even more uncomfortable. The purpose of his going to Daxing County to implement the New Deal was to make decisions for the common people.

In the end, he became an official in Yurou Township instead.

This made it even more difficult for him to accept it, and he wished he could draw his sword and kill himself on the spot to make amends to the three ordinary people whose families had been ruined.

Li Mian obviously thought of it in advance, and had already handed over the scribe sword in his hand to Yunniang behind him.

As long as something valuable is in her hands, no one can take it away from her unless the uncle wants to go back.

Sun Chuanting sat on the official hat chair, depressed, and was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

After hearing what Li Mian said, Liu Rushi's hatred for Sun Chuanting dropped a lot, and she couldn't help complaining a few words: "From the mouth of Li Mian, the son-in-law, it can be heard that the person who really killed the brothers of the Cao Gang It's an official from Daxing County, so don't get too excited, you still can't escape the relationship."

Bao'er echoed: "That is, if you hadn't forced the implementation of the New Deal in Daxing County, the officials in Daxing County would not have used all kinds of indecent means to kill the brothers of the Cao Gang, you, you should really learn from Li Concubine If you don’t have that diamond, don’t do porcelain work, honestly, it’d be great to be an official and gentry in the capital, and stop harming the common people.”

Sun Chuanting clenched his fists and wanted to argue a few words, but he still couldn't say any rebuttal words.

He really wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly, but as Liu Rushi said, he really killed the common people, or caused the destruction of three common people's families.

Liu Rushi turned his face and looked at Li Mian with eyes full of appreciation: "If Prince Consort Li had gone to Daxing County back then, not to mention whether he could have implemented the New Deal, with his intelligence, he would not have killed him. Killed three Cao Gang brothers."

Sun Chuanting's originally dim eyes lit up again when he heard Liu Rushi's words.

Sun Chuanting stared at Li Mian with piercing eyes, his spirits lifted, he stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Li Mian's hands.

Sun Chuanting said firmly: "As long as Jin Guan follows Sun to Daxing County, the New Deal will be implemented properly, avoiding the insidious tactics of the officials below, and the people of Daxing County will be able to live a good life. Atonement."

Li Mian looked at the revived Sun Chuanting and felt a headache, so he shouldn't try to persuade him.

Liu Rushi was speechless, really worried that Sun Chuanting would go to Daxing County and kill more Cao Gang brothers.

She could only let go of her hatred for the time being, and persuaded her earnestly: "Don't go to Daxing County to harm the brothers of the Cao Gang, it would be nice to be your noble son in the capital in peace, just like Li Concubine. Come here to tease the servant girls and taste the delicacies in the capital. You have a higher status than Concubine Li. It’s really frustrating to be idle. You can also beat up some worthless dudes in the capital. This is comparable to going to Daxing County to promote The New Deal is much more interesting."

Sun Chuanting was not happy: "Your words are clearly looking down on Sun's enthusiasm for serving the country. Don't worry, Ms. Liu. As long as Jin Guan goes to Daxing County with her, she can guarantee that the New Deal can be implemented and the people of Daxing County will live a better life. .”

Sun Chuanting's fighting spirit became high: "Although the three ordinary people did not die directly at the hands of Sun, they were also related to Sun. This trip to Daxing County must go, not only for the Dazhu Dynasty, but also In order to atone for the sins of the common people."

Sun Chuanting looked away from Liu Rushi's face, and stared at Li Mian with burning eyes, as if he had some crooked idea.

He had already figured it out in his heart, if Li Mian really disagreed to go to Daxing County together, even if he was knocked unconscious and tied up, he would be taken there as a master of money and food.

With the tragic death of three ordinary people, the implementation of the New Deal cannot be sloppy, and Sun Chuanting needs to be more cautious.

Only when you are fully prepared can you go to Daxing County.

The perfect preparation is to bring Li Mian, the master of money and food, with him.

Li Mian looked at Sun Chuanting who remained silent, and kept staring at himself, and guessed roughly what he was thinking.

Li Mian didn't dare to stay in Liuwandi, he just wanted to get away as soon as possible, so he hurriedly said: "Pheasant slave, the lady seems to call me home for dinner, let's go back quickly."

Go home for dinner?

The pheasant slave looked confused and didn't understand what my uncle meant, but seeing Sun Chuanting's eager eyes staring at my uncle, he quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
