Lonely non-good minister

After Song Chun expressed his support for Tian Mu’s reform on behalf of King Zhongshan, King Zhongshan didn’t say anything, and he didn’t object to Song Chun’s handling of the Shen family. Then there is only the eldest mother next to him, and the two spoiled aunts have no news.

He asked for leave for a few days and did not go to court, and the palace did not send anyone to condolences. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to court.

Without the obstruction of the Prince's Mansion, the matter of the Tingwei Mansion's strict investigation of the dignitaries became much smoother. After recovering from his body, Huo Ying pulled out all the people involved in Leping Fushen's back as quickly as possible. The case is closed.

Leping County.

Before the officials rested, Song Yuan took the county magistrate and the officials in charge of livestock to visit the homes of the people who raised cattle and sheep one by one. The cattle and sheep were well raised. With considerable benefits, the people took care of the cattle and sheep with great care. Prepare enough forage before winter.

It's just that when they came to a family, the livestock official took the registration booklet and checked it several times, but couldn't match the number: "Why is there one sheep missing in your family?"

The big man who was being questioned squatted outside the pen with his sleeves in his hands and said nothing. His tattered and patched clothes were dirty and looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time. He ignored the officials' questioning and turned his headgear. deaf.

"Where's the chief?" The official didn't talk too much, just called the chief.

The chief who was following the crowd hurried forward, his face changed drastically after hearing the official's words, he immediately grabbed the man and asked, "Where's the sheep? Tell me quickly."

Only then did the man choke vaguely and forcefully: "Eat."

"Eat?" Li wanted to beat him to death angrily, "This is a sheep raised by your family, and the lamb it gives birth to is yours, so you just ate the sheep?"

The man looked at them, and played a prank: "What's wrong with eating it? I haven't seen any meat for several years, what's wrong with me eating one?"

"Where's the skin? Where's the wool? Where's the bone?" Li Chang rushed into his dilapidated house, not smelling any mutton smell, and the house looked like a place that hadn't been contaminated by meat for hundreds of years.

The man turned his head and said nothing: "Eat, eat, eat."

He is a rogue to the end, with the appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

Song Yuan was sitting on the big rock outside their house to rest his breath. Hearing his yelling, he was very annoyed, but the county magistrate who was with him was very experienced, so he immediately asked the yamen servant beside him to negotiate.

"Do you know the price for eating the sheep entrusted to you to raise?" the yamen servant said loudly, very intimidating.

The man squatted down again: "I know, you take the sheep away, I won't keep them anymore."

When he said this, the yamen servant immediately darkened his face: "I think you didn't eat the sheep, but you hid the sheep, and you still haven't confessed honestly."

The man continued to squat without saying a word.

"My lord." The county magistrate did not forget to ask Song Yuan for instructions first: "Such a rascal will not be obedient unless he is taught a lesson. He probably hid the sheep, and we will take the sheep away and leave the hidden sheep behind." He raised it quietly by himself."

The head of the village also came over: "My lord, the one who disappeared was a ewe. He was trying to hide something for himself."

The civil affairs are the most difficult to mess up. They have dealt with the people a lot and have more experience than Song Yuan, but Song Yuan feels helpless when he hears it. Farming and farming are fine. Why do these trivial things happen?

Wasn't Yamen not clear enough?The lambs born belong to the common people, so why do they have to be greedy for the ewe?

"How do you want to deal with it?" Song Yuan already had an idea in his mind.

The county magistrate said: "Arrest people and take away all their sheep. If you don't hand over the sheep, you won't let him go."

"Isn't that fulfilling his wish? Doesn't he look like he is afraid that you will catch him?" Song Yuan got up and patted his clothes: "Hiding cattle and sheep privately, taking back all the fields, it happens that many families want to rent two yuan more field."

Her voice was not loud, but it was just enough for the man to hear, and the expression of the man who had been playing tricks changed. He fixed his eyes on Song Yuan who was behind the crowd, and immediately stood up and ran to the back of his house. The pregnant ewe came out and then fell to her knees.

"The villain is confused, the villain is confused, please forgive me." He knew he was afraid now.

Song Yuan took a look at him, and went to the next house. The officials in charge of animal husbandry asked the veterinarian to carefully check the pregnancy of the ewes. After confirming that there was no problem, he wrote it down in the booklet. Then a group of people left, and no one went. and take away the man's sheep.

There are many people who want to hide cattle and sheep. After all, some people are used to taking advantage of it. Sending them to the border can open up the territory of Wei. A little trick always thinks that they can hide it from the Yamen. They even ran into a family who was going to slaughter sheep for the New Year. If it weren't for the yamen servants running fast and stopping in time, the sheep's life would be gone.

After the county magistrate led the officials to scold the village head and scolded the people, his face turned green during the Chinese New Year, and he even called the village head to give him a severe reprimand. These sheep are only temporarily kept in the people's homes and cannot be slaughtered at will. How could they hand over [-] cattle and sheep to the imperial court?And as the bulls and rams are sent away one after another, all the pregnant ewes that can stay for the New Year are pregnant ewes, which cannot be killed.

There are also those who take cattle and sheep to pay off debts. The whole family sits on the ground in heavy snow and rolls to death. One bite kills the whole family. Honestly brought the cattle and sheep back, but it was unavoidable to cry and scold, saying that the Yamen wanted to force people to death.

In just a few days, Song Yuan felt that he had been severely tortured. No wonder the people in charge of civil affairs looked old. Who could bear so many trivial and unreasonable troubles?
On New Year's Eve, they finally inspected all the cattle and sheep. On the way back to the county, everyone was quiet. Even the most energetic guards raised their heads and looked tired.

Song Yuan was dozing off on the carriage wrapped in fur, accompanied by Wei Yan whose eyes were already numb and slack, his body swayed with the movement of the carriage, and the wheels ran over a stone, causing the carriage to vibrate.

"Ha~" Song Yuan woke up, lazily opened his eyes, unwilling to move.

Wei Yan pushed open the window, sucked in the cold wind that choked his throat, and immediately shrank in: "Leping reports snow disasters every year, and I don't know how the situation is this year. With such a heavy snow, can the wheat in the soil do it?"

"We don't understand, what's the use of being anxious, don't we know when the snow melts?" Song Yuan was too lazy to worry.

Wei Yan gathered his clothes together: "If the wheat harvest is good this season, then the young master will have made great contributions. Does the young master really not consider recommending himself to be responsible for the reform of the farmland? The palace has already expressed its support, so there shouldn't be so many worries. .”

"Wang Fu's statement of support does not mean father's support." Song Yuan was still very clear: "He was so persistent, and suddenly changed his mind, something must have happened. Based on my understanding of father, I support the farmland policy. Reforming him must not be willing."
