Du Zhongxiao and Su Shunqin were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard and discussing the matter of farming. Seeing Han Yueniang coming back, she was so angry that she went straight back to the inner room. Shisanlang followed behind, looking helpless.

Su Shunqin was a tactful person. He hurriedly got up and bowed, "The officials have understood the meaning of raising the throne, so I will go back and do it."

Du Zhongxiao sent Su Shunqin away, called Shisanlang over, and asked, "I am unhappy when my wife comes back. What happened outside today?"

Shisanlang said: "Returning to the official businessman, he encountered some difficulties, and the wife happened to meet him. He was just a little girl. He was just a little girl, but he was quick to speak. He said too much, and said things were difficult to handle, so the wife was unhappy because of this."

Du Zhongxiao's face darkened and said, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it in detail. You are now working for the yamen. Your wife is not from the yamen. How can you interfere in official affairs? If you encounter any problems, you have to take care of them. That's fine!"

Shisanlang complained in his heart, and said in detail that he followed Han Yueniang outside to play today, watched monkey plays in the middle of the street, and met Dogtou and He Da's family. Finally, he said: "I know a little bit about this. In the past, the people who received goods in the countryside were managed by officials from Yingtianwei. After the shopping mall in Fancheng opened, they transferred to Changpingsi and were managed by people from the shopping mall. There were many ponds in this area. They found a staff member to raise ducks and eggs, bought a recipe for making pineapple eggs for Yingtianfu, and then transferred to the family. Then this happened."

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao's expression calmed down a little. He raised Chang Ping himself, but in order to avoid suspicion, many of the business at home were stopped. How could he allow Han Yueniang to interfere in official affairs? However, today's affairs are not official affairs. Speaking of which, Han Yueniang is still responsible.

Sitting under the pavilion for a while, Du Zhongxiao said to Shisanlang: "You go and invite Tsui Hark here. It is best to arrive tomorrow, no later than three days later. Since the matter has been done, you have to think of a long-term solution."

Thirteen Lang promised.

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "When doing things, you always think about being simpler and less tactful. Tsui Hark is like this, why am I the same? Also, let me inform the magistrate Lou and let him come to the field office this afternoon to discuss with you."

Shisanlang said to Nuo and sighed secretly. He thought it was indeed good. When he found Du Zhongxiao, it was not just about Tsui Hark and a few officials. From the camp and field affairs to the Changping Office, all the officials were afraid that they would have to make trouble.

Du Zhongxiao got up and returned to the room. He saw Han Yueniang sitting under the window, teasing the two squids in front of the window and singing. There are many birds nearby. When plowing the fields, they often ate groups of insects that were flocked from the soil. These two squids were caught by Shisanlang and raised from a very young age. Han Yueniang likes them very much, and when she is free, she teases her to relieve her boredom.

Du Zhongxiao came in, a sen brother raised his neck and suddenly sighed, which looked like Han Yueniang's voice.

Han Yueniang was originally calm, but when she heard the voice, she couldn't help laughing: "This bird is getting more and more energetic! After raising it for a few days, I'm afraid that I can even learn to speak. She sighed just now and it learned it so much."

Du Zhongxiao said: "This bird is full of spirituality. Some people who learn to speak and some who can sing music. - By the way, what's wrong with you when you come back? I asked Shisanlang and heard that he was a small businessman and encountered difficulties. It was not a big deal, just say it."

Shisanlang sighed: "You are now a high-ranking official, of course it is not a big deal in your eyes. But for that family, meeting it is like the sky falling. I originally wanted Shisanlang to find someone and not to cut off the family's livelihood. But Shisanlang said that even he was difficult to deal with this matter, and only then did he know the hardships of the family. I thought that before Weng Weng went home, I sold wine to my father, and met Wu Xiaoman Wai, why did we do this? When I sued the county, you were arrested and suffered countless hardships. It was really a day that he was not able to respond. The earth and earth were not effective. If ordinary people encounter bullying from wealthy families, can only do this? I know that there are many unfair things in the world, and I always feel that I can't calm down in my heart."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Of course it's not the only way. There are always other ways. But for ordinary people, the other ways are just the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, visible but intangible. If I perfunctorily ask you, I can come up with ten or eight ways for that family. But these ways are just excuses for colleagues in the officialdom, and there is no need to say between husband and wife."

Han Yueniang turned around and looked at Du Zhongxiao and said, "In this way, which family can only be slaughtered by Shi Yuanwai's family?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "It's not easy to be slaughtered by his family. I am not that incompetent as an official here. But the business of that family can't continue. If it weren't for you, it would be useless to sue any yamen."

Han Yueniang sighed: "It's still so. Is it so difficult for poor families to do a small business to supplement their household income?"

"All businesses that make money are inevitable. You also know that it is a poor family, except for a pair of hands, what else do they have? Why can you make this money? Instead of letting another company make a profit? It is either this Shishi or another person or a public official. After working for a long time, you will always encounter difficulties. Either they are flattering to powerful people, or they are taken away by others, or they are not making money in this business."

Han Yueniang said, "I know what you said makes sense. It's like our family. If Weng Weng was a Jinshi in the village, you wouldn't know when you would come out in prison. If you hadn't passed the Jinshi later, even if you could steam wine, your business would have been taken away by the forces. I just wanted to know, is there no way for poor people to turn over? This is the only way? Our family has suffered. Now our family is big and big. I still remember that before, I often reminded my servants not to oppress the people. If it were like the Wu family before, the villagers would probably still suffer."

Du Zhongxiao couldn't help laughing and said, "Yue Niang, do you think that if you often remind your servants to do not bully the people? You are strict, but you have not bullied men and women, and you are rampant in the village. There are always some small things. Just like the people you meet, there will be some in our village. It's just that it's not a big deal, and the servants won't report it. It's not that you forcefully buy land and houses, stop living, and do not do a small business, and they still have no shortage of food and clothing. How can you avoid such things?"

Han Yueniang was stunned for a moment: "Can our family do something like Shi Yuanwai?"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "There must be! It's just not that anyone did it. There are so many people in the family, and there are always people who will rely on their power to show their power. It is rare to control the servants by relying on their kindness. It is difficult to control the big festivals. There are inevitably shortcomings in small festivals, so we have to build bridges and pave roads in our hometown to help the elderly and weak, build schools, and promote education. Do you think this is a kindness? We, the wealthy families, have the industry and hire people, will definitely have to do these good deeds to compensate the villagers. If we can't control them, we have to do these good deeds to compensate."

Han Yueniang thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "I still want Shisanlang just now. I took over the business of Shi Man's outside family and he was not allowed to do it. As you said, there are people in our family doing the same thing, so what should we do?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "One code is the same. If someone in our family does it, it is impossible to control it. If the villagers report it to you, you can all report it to the public and not bully the villagers. The difference between the surname Shi is that his family will die by themselves, which is another matter. I will handle this matter, so don't worry about it."

Han Yueniang was still a little unhappy: "I thought I had done a good thing, but why can't I be happy after hearing what you said? I thought this kind of person was extremely hateful. It was rare to meet in the world, but it was everywhere in your eyes."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's everywhere. Officials have the means to govern the local area, and some have the means. Such things are rare, so the politics will be clear. Some people don't have the means, so the people will have a hard life. As for the people's customs and people don't like to fight, just listen to it, and they can't be treated as real. It's just that things don't go out of the way and the oppressed people accept their fate."

Han Yueniang looked at Du Zhongxiao and suddenly said, "Then do you have any means?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "Of course I have the means. I just manage several yamen and have busy affairs. I really can't get out of it and don't want to do it in the local area. Since you have encountered it, it's not easy to pretend not to be invisible and let them see me."
