peasant girl allure

Chapter 217
"It's too remote here, you don't want to come alone as a child." Xiao'er couldn't help reminding.

"I used to come here with my mother. Sister, brother, let's pick mushrooms!" The little boy started to pick mushrooms after he finished speaking.

After hearing this, Xiao'er didn't say anything more.

What Xiao'er wanted was bacteria seeds, so she picked up a small shovel, scooped up the mushrooms and the rotting leaf soil around them, and put them in the basket.

Only shovel one shovel of each species.

Seeing this, the little boy asked strangely: "Sister, do you want to grow mushrooms?"

"How do you know?" The kid is so smart.

"My mother sometimes digs up some vegetables and plants them in another field."

"Smart!" Xiao'er couldn't help but praise.

"But..." The little boy hesitated to speak.He tried to dig some mushrooms to grow at home before, but his mother said that the mushrooms would not survive.

Facts have also proved that it is not alive.

"You want to say that this mushroom species is not alive, right?" Seeing his conflicted look, Xiao'er helped him to speak up.

"How do you know?" The little boy's eyes widened.

"I can tell, what you think is written all over your face." Xiao'er said while looking around for fungi she knew were edible.

Shangguan Xuanyi also helped to shovel, but he didn't speak.

"Then why are you still planting?" The little boy touched his face, is it so obvious?

"It's not that mushrooms can't be grown, it's just that everyone hasn't found the right method before. Everything in this world has a solution, and it depends on who can find the solution."

Shangguan Xuanyi was thoughtful after hearing this.

The little boy was skeptical, "Then you planted it?"

"No." Xiao'er honestly shook her head.

faint!The little boy couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He said something so profound, so it was just bragging.

Xiao'er didn't care about the little boy's white eyes, he would know when the time came.

Facts speak louder than words!She likes to speak with facts.

After Xiao'er dug up all the edible mushrooms here, she called Shangguan Xuanyi to leave.

Xiao'er glanced at the mushrooms that Shangguan Xuanyi had dug, and then at the muddy hands that Shangguan Xuanyi had dug up, she couldn't bear to hit him anymore.

The little boy ran over and took a look and shouted loudly: "Brother, all you dug up were poisonous mushrooms! Why are you so good, you didn't dig up anything edible."

After hearing this, Xiao'er laughed unkindly.

Shangguan Xuanyi's face darkened, he stood up and clapped his hands, "Destroy it! Don't hurt anyone!"

After hearing this, the little boy suddenly realized, "Brother, you are thoughtful, and you are really kind in your heart."

Shangguan Xuanyi's expression brightened a little after hearing this.

Xiao'er couldn't help rolling her eyes, this little kid was too easy to be fooled.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Xiao'er, Xiao'er quickly closed her half-rolled eyes, and then smiled flatteringly: "Brother Shangguan is the kindest person in the world."

What is true cannot be false!

"really?"

"Really. Otherwise, would he help you build the bridge!" Xiao'er nodded seriously.

"That's right!" The boy nodded solemnly after hearing this.

Shangguan Xuanyi ignored them and left directly.

The two hurriedly followed.

Before getting into the carriage, Xiaoer asked: "What's your name, kid? When I grow mushrooms, I will be the first to teach you how to grow them, in return for taking me to such a good place today."

"Okay, my name is Jiang Shan, and everyone calls me Shanzi!" Although the little boy didn't believe it, he still handed the basket of mushrooms he had picked to Xiao'er: "For you."

Xiao'er didn't refuse, she thanked her with a smile, and then took out a bag of dried meat from the carriage and gave it to him: "Reciprocity is a courtesy."

The little boy didn't know it was jerky, and thanked him with a smile, but when he got home, he was taught by his mother.

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi returned home, but saw the housekeeper directing people to move two big bags of things into the kitchen.

Several people saw the two of them busy saluting.

Xiao'er casually asked, "What's here?"

"Ms. Hui, this is salt. The price of salt in the town has skyrocketed in the past two days, and many people are rushing to buy it. I asked my wife and bought two packs first."

After hearing this, Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanye looked at each other.

Xiao'er nodded and said to the butler, "Since it's like this, it's better to buy more." Although it doesn't make much sense.

The two continued to walk inside.

"Brother Shangguan, when will you get that thing?"

Shangguan Xuanyi counted the time, "Just a day or two."

Xiao'er nodded, and the two said nothing more.

It was night, a secret guard quietly begged for an audience outside Shangguan Xuanyi's house.

On the second day, Xiao Fuzi arrived early in the morning.

In the middle of the night, Shangguan Xuanyi got a roster and a pile of ledgers from Xiaoer.

After Shangguan Xuanyi checked the roster again overnight, he handed over a token to Xiao Fuzi.

After taking the token, Xiao Fuzi left quickly.

Shangguan Xuanyi then lay back on the bed to rest.

Before dawn, Xiao Fuzi knocked on the gate of the city with a token and shouted for the guards to open the gate.

The drowsy gate guard opened the city gate impatiently, and saw a group of soldiers lined up at the gate of the city in an orderly manner. They were so frightened that they thought someone was going to break the city!
Xiao Fuzi took out the token, and the soldier took the front and back and looked carefully at the front and back. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded and bowed and opened the city gate.

A thousand soldiers surrounded Tan Mansion, Hu Mansion, and Jiang Mansion quietly...

At this time, some industrious people have already gone out to sell things with their burdens.

Seeing this situation, I was so frightened that I hurriedly turned around and went home and closed the door.Then I couldn't help but move the ladder and climb to the fence to peek.

On the same day, such scenes happened in different state capitals, county towns, and even the imperial capital throughout the Minze Dynasty.

These big households were ransacked before they knew how it happened.

This time, more than 50 tons of private salt were seized nationwide!The people's fat and people's anointing collected by various officials are even more numerous!
The emperor looked at these ledgers, lists, contract documents and other evidence, and was furious!
The Longevity Festival is approaching, and the emperor has always ruled the country with benevolence, so these people can be spared the death penalty, and the crime of living is inevitable.

Prime Minister You was dismissed from his post, the middle-aged men of the family were demoted to common people and sent to mine coal mines, and all the women and children were enslaved!
Other officials, businessmen, big and small, arranged according to the seriousness of the situation, selling for sale, labor reform for labor reform!
Mining coal, iron ore, quarrying, ...

The Minze Dynasty was at a time when all industries were waiting to be flourished. If these people were imprisoned, they would still have to be fed. For those who were pampered, hard labor was the best punishment.

Since they search for the fat and anointing of the people, disregard the interests of the country, and sell private salt to fatten themselves!Then I will go to labor for the rest of my life, doing the hardest and most tiring work in the world!For the people and the country, donate the oil raised by the country and the people!

The imperial concubine knelt outside the imperial study for a day and a night, crying till she was in tears, but she couldn't change the emperor's mind.

The eldest prince walked up and down the room, still worried that there would be evidence against him.

Although his mother and concubine had secretly ordered people not to mess with himself.

Prime Minister You never left any evidence about him.

But he was still so worried that he couldn't sleep well or eat well.

Without the help of the prime minister's grandfather in the future, it will be even more difficult for him to sit in that position!
