Chapter 236 Cheap Son
In the morning, Xu Wenyan took Chen Sanlin and others to the fields.
Still using sticks and ropes to position the factory, this factory had to be built bigger, so Xu Wenyan drew a rectangle of 30 meters x 20 meters.
It is so nice that there is no need to build a house. The area inside the factory is only half of the total area, and the walls can be built slowly by ourselves later.
If the wall is included, building a house like this would cost at least more than ten taels of silver. No matter how much money is spent and how much work is done, these seven taels of silver are enough to build the house.
It didn't take much time to do this. Taking Chen Sanlin with them, Xu Wenyan prepared to ride horses to the county.
He grabbed the reins and pulled Chen Sanlin onto the horse. Although Chen Sanlin already knew how to drive a carriage, he was still a little bit unfamiliar with riding a horse.
"Brother Chen, hold me tight, the car will be going very fast soon."
Chen Sanlin hugged her from behind and said, "Would you like me to ride? It's still a bit windy this morning."
"No, you're a terrible driver."
......Chen Sanlin always felt that Xu Wenyan was not talking about riding a horse.
They came much faster on horseback, and arrived at the county magistrate's mansion in just over an hour.
"You are... the guy who came with Captain Wang before."
Xu Wenyan didn't expect that the clerk at the county gate actually knew him: "Well, I want to see County Magistrate Cheng. I wonder if you can ask him to inform him."
"Yeah, no problem."
About half a quarter of an hour later, the two men entered the guest room of the county magistrate's mansion.
County Magistrate Cheng sat on a small stool and sipped the tea carefully.
"Here you are. Brother Xu, are you looking for me regarding your military service?" County Magistrate Cheng still had a smiling face.
"County Magistrate Cheng is really a prophet." Xu Wenyan led Chen Sanlin and walked slowly forward.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, County Magistrate Cheng gestured to Xu Wenyan to sit down: "If you want me to be exempted from military service, that's not possible."
"Oh, how can I trouble County Magistrate Cheng so much for such a matter? I want to borrow a few people from County Magistrate Cheng, but those villagers have money but are unwilling to pay.
I am at my wit's end, so I thought of asking County Magistrate Cheng to help scare them."
The people are afraid of officials to the core, and Xu Wenyan wants to take advantage of this.
"Okay, I'm just lending you my people, right? Young man, don't use my people to do bad things." County Magistrate Cheng laughed and stood up: "I still have things to do, you wait at the door, I'll arrange it for you."
"Ah?" How come Xu Wenyan agreed to this without even thinking of it?
It was obvious that County Magistrate Cheng agreed to it after I only mentioned it, and he was quite nice to him.
Without wasting any time, the two returned to the stable and waited for County Magistrate Cheng to send someone over.
There was a stone on the ground, and Xu Wenyan kicked it carefully to Chen Sanlin: "Brother Chen! Don't just stand there, pass the ball."
"Oh oh." Chen Sanlin adjusted the position of the stone and carefully kicked it to Xu Wenyan.
The two of them kicked this small stone for a long time.
"Ahem, Brother Xu, we can go now." Four clerks in official uniforms were standing not far away and looking at Xu Wenyan.
I don't know when they came.
"Oh, hey, how are you guys going to leave? I don't have any carriages loaded."
"Don't worry, Brother Xu. We have horses." The leading clerk brought two black horses.
Four people followed Xu Wenyan.
"Brothers, you just need to follow me into the house and recruit people, but you must threaten them and say that if they don't pay, they will be drafted into service."
"Oh, we understand." The people who followed were several young people. The county was short of people right now, so these were probably newly recruited.
After thinking for a while, Xu Wenyan reminded again: "You need to look more fierce, brothers."
"fierce?"
"Is this okay?"
Xu Wenyan turned his head and saw the four petty officials grinning and wrinkling their noses.
"Puchi, hahahahahahahaha, look, Brother Chen." These people must look like fools if they were to play fools.
After calming down: "Ahem, it's not that fierce, just a more serious expression would be better."
After returning to the village, Xu Wenyan first took people to find Chen Xingjie, explained the matter to him briefly, and then randomly selected a few lucky families.
The priority is still those who instigated the crowd before.
After much thought, I decided that you were the young man who first instigated Xu Wenyan to pay!
The seven people hurried towards the young man's house.
Still standing at the door, the clerk said, "Well, how do we get in?"
Xu Wenyan walked forward, raised his leg high, and kicked the door hard. It was a wooden door and not strong at all.
"Look, you are the officials, you are right now." Xu Wenyan waved his head towards the yard: "Go in, be aggressive!"
Clerk:...Why does it feel like this person’s kicking the door is so skillful?
"You...what are you doing?" The young man was the only one at home with his wife. It was dinner time and they were already very scared when the door was suddenly kicked open.
Four clerks stepped forward with sabers in hand and grabbed the young man by the collar: "You're not going to pay the money? If you don't pay, go and serve in the army."
The clerk stuttered a little when he spoke. These words were taught to him by Xu Wenyan before. He said that speaking in this way would be more powerful.
"Jun, Jun Ye." The young man knelt down and said, "We really have no money. Look, all we have in our pot is boiled potatoes with vegetable leaves. There is no rice at all."
"Well...it's quite pitiful."
Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Wenyan quickly coughed twice: "Ahem."
The clerk immediately reacted: "What does it have to do with me? Even if the king of heaven comes today, you have to hand over the money."
Afterwards, the clerk deliberately threw the young man to Xu Wenyan's feet. When the young man saw Xu Wenyan, he was like seeing a savior: "Xu Wenyan, no, Brother Xu! Brother Xu! Please save me, my wife is not in good health, and I am the only one farming at home."
The fat clerk beside Xu Wenyan stuttered, "He... uh... he's not your father, why are you begging him for anything?"
For a moment, the young man on the ground was also stunned.
......Seeing that he didn't say anything, the clerk leaned in and whispered to Xu Wenyan: "Brother Xu, isn't it too much to ask him to call you dad?"
"No, no, no, that's not too much. I can't guess three numbers..."
"Dad, Dad, Dad Xu! Please save me, I really can't go to serve." Before, he thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, and the village chief just wanted to embezzle.
When he saw the ugly expressions of the village chief and Xu Wenyan, he thought he had guessed right. It was not until he was caught by several soldiers that he realized that everything was true.
"My dear..., ahem, it's not impossible for me to help you." It was a close call, he almost called him son, Xu Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as you help me, you are my real father."
My goodness, where are the principles? Where is the bottom line? And I don’t have a cheap son like you: “Ahem, there’s no need to be so exaggerated. I’ll help you cover the money for you and your wife.”
"Ah, thank you, thank you Brother Xu, don't thank Dad! Thank you." The man grabbed Xu Wenyan's trouser leg, tears already flowing out.
Xu Wenyan helped it up: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, you have to help me work for a few days later. As long as you agree, we can now..."
"Agree, I agree!"
Xu Wenyan took out a booklet from his sleeve. It was the booklet that Chen Xingjie was responsible for registering. "Just sign here. If you help me work for a few days, it will be considered as paying off the debt."
This was something that had been planned in advance, but the young man signed it immediately out of gratitude.
He is really a cheap son...
