Chapter Two Hundred and Sixteenth: Beat Your Armor

After all, if you dare to lend so much money in the capital, you will naturally have a way to make you pay back the money.

The family of more than 40 people could not survive in their hometown. After all, the land was gone, so they had to migrate to the capital and live with Li Qiyuan.

The slaves in the family really couldn't afford to support them, so they had to dismiss all those who should be dismissed.

Even the sedan chair bearer... was really unable to afford it. This was not pretentious. It was too expensive. The family had a large population, and they all pointed to his official salary to live.

In fact, as the Minister of Revenue, he is still very rich in addition to his official salary.

But Li Qiyuan was also accused of death. When his family was in great business, he did not take ordinary money seriously at all. He refused all those who wanted to stuff him money.

So the entire Ming Dynasty knew that Li Qiyuan, the current Minister of Revenue, was honest and dedicated to the public.

With such a character, who dares to come and give him money?

Are you not afraid of throwing out the gifts you give out and causing humiliation to yourself?

So... the real version of family affairs fell into decline.

It's miserable!

There are so many people in the family, and only a little salary. Fortunately, there was no pawn in the mansion at the beginning and there was a residence, but without the care of the slaves, even if it was worth it, he had to walk.

It would be fine to walk, but Li Qiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly took off his official clothes and changed into regular clothes every time he went home from duty.

When he was paying the price, it was going to be late. At that time... the vegetable vendors in the market were preparing to close the stalls, and they would always leave some rotten vegetables and leftovers that could not be sold.

These days, Li Qiyuan has studied the rules thoroughly. Every time he pays a price, he goes to Caishikou, bargain with others, and buys some cheap vegetables. It’s a little bit to save a little!

If I don’t care about these articles today, if there is anything else at home in the future, the whole family will drink the northwest wind.

When you have money, you will certainly call the wind and rain, not to mention a few cents, or hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, you will look down on it.

Now, I really have broken it a penny and I want to crush it, divide it into several petals, and I’m thinking about it... Oh, this daylily has increased, so buy a few more.

Or maybe I think that my grandson has just given birth and my daughter-in-law has no breast milk. The meat is cheap these two days, so I buy more and go back to stew it to nourish and nourish.

I didn't think it was before, but now the poor are in charge of the family, and they are all obstacles.

What’s scary is that Li Qiyuan is still a person who wants to save face. This person’s shame has exacerbated this predicament. He sneaked to the vegetable market every day like a mouse. When he saw cheap vegetables, he would shine green. After buying them, he would be afraid that he would be seen. He would hide these in his sleeves. If he met an acquaintance, his face would turn red before he could say hello.

People's livelihood is so difficult, and now it is fully demonstrated in Li Qiyuan.

He is now used to the complaints of vegetable prices and rice prices when they rise, and some poor people beg for food markets.

Although I don't classify myself as beggars and poorer people, I can also experience this difficulty.

These days, whenever there is a dinner party, as long as someone dares to invite him, Li Qiyuan dares to go, sit upright and don’t say a word, and eat more if he can eat a little more. If he has the chance, he will secretly hide it with some good things and go back to eat for his wife, children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

I feel sad when I think about this kind of life, but I probably get used to it slowly.

But... Seeing Wang Shuo talk so much, he could hear his ears, but he got used to it. Although he couldn't agree with it now, he would never show up and let people lose face.

But what Zhang Jin said reached his heart.

happy!

But when he saw Wang Shuo still chatting, he seemed to be unable to hold back, and his heart was like anger. Go ahead, your old dog, Wang Shuo, will not give us poor people a way to live.

After quoting the price of the vegetable, Li Qiyuan sneered and said, "The prince always speaks for justice and every word is right. But while saying that he loves the people as his son, he is also offered by the people, he only talks loudly. This is just a castle in the air, and everything is taken for granted."

After a pause, he continued, "You don't even know the price of the food, so why do you talk about how hard people's livelihood is? The hardships of the people are always on your mouth, but how hard it is, how hard life is, how much rice you eat, how many dishes you eat every day, what are the lives of the military households, and what are the situations of the refugees? You don't know, you should ask people for advice or see them with your own eyes, and you can also experience these hardships. But what have you done except holding a few scriptures and talking big?"

Wang Shuo, who has always been elegant, was scolded for being so bloody.

He couldn't understand why Li Qiyuan, who had always had a good relationship with him, was so angry?

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak back.

Li Qiyuan continued to sneer and said, "You keep saying that Qingping Bo is not good, let me tell you the truth. When it comes to this good governance, Shuntian Prefecture has the best life for ordinary people. The Xinxian County is the one that ordinary people live."

"What?" Wang Shuo was shocked after hearing this.

He didn't expect... Li Qiyuan, who has always regarded Zhang Jingyi as an irreconcilable enemy, actually spoke such words.

Wang Shuo thinks Li Qiyuan is crazy?

At that time, he heard with his own ears how Li Qiyuan scolded Zhang Jingyi for his ancestors for the eighteen generations.

Among the scholars, Zhang Jingyi was a traitor and a traitor, and was a consensus among scholars and officials.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiyuan said such words on an occasion like this today.

All of a sudden, many people were eager to try it out.

Originally, due to Zhang Jingyi's presence, everyone tried their best to avoid this topic. Now that you, Li Qiyuan, have no character, then... you must discuss it.

Emperor Tianqi became more and more interested in seeing it. He wanted to beat the drums beside him and shouted: "Get on, fight quickly."

Zhu Youjian frowned, feeling more and more that the situation was beginning to lose control.

Wang Shuo said coldly: "Is that so? Mr. Li said this, how could he see that Xinxian is implementing good governance?"

Li Qiyuan said bluntly: "I have been to the Caishikou of all counties, and I have been in contact with all kinds of people in various counties, so why don't I know?"

Direct critical strike.

This suddenly...

What appeared on Wang Shuo's face... was embarrassment.

This is simply a statement that he has been pounded to death.

This is not enough, Li Qiyuan continued, "So... I wonder how many Caishikou princes have been to and how many people have they met?"
