Shuang Daqin Comparison, No Comparison, No Harm

"Why are they stacked together?" Li Xin asked.

After all, there are a lot of people right and wrong, and people from several villages live together, so if there is any conflict, it should not be too noisy.

The aunt sighed helplessly: "It's not like every household has strong men. To build a house, you have to have materials and money, and you have to have young people to do it."

"So we discussed with each household, together, and built each household, which took half a month to build.

"During our housing crisis, only two or three households lived in one room."

Hearing what Auntie said, Zhao Ze knew how hard it was for the villagers after the flood washed this area before.

Zhao Ze asked again: "Didn't the imperial court and the county magistrate arrange a place for you at that time?"

Zhao Ze remembered thinking that Hu Hai should have arrived at Jieshou half a month ago.

And based on the time on the account, it should be less than half a month ago.

The aunt shook her head 25 times, and she had already seen that Zhao Ze should be officials.

Don't dare to talk nonsense, but don't hide it.

Only then did Zhao Ze know that after Jieshou had just experienced the onslaught of the flood, the local county magistrate and payment did nothing, and did not even organize the people to evacuate from the city.

Not to mention providing them with shelter and food just after the flood was out of the question.

In this flood, Jieshou suffered heavy losses and the death toll was also high.

The local magistrate and county magistrate took this as an excuse and didn't care about the lives of the people at all.

When he came to Wang Dayong's house, Zhao Ze unexpectedly discovered that he lived in the same thatched cottage as the surrounding villagers.

And the furniture in the room is poor, only a table and four chairs.

A woman in the room was coaxing a child in her arms, and a seven or eight-year-old child was beside her.

Li Xin went in to inquire, and he was sure that the house in front of him was Wang Guiquan's.

"Is Wang Dayong at home today?" Li Xin asked.

Seeing a few people wearing clothes, Madam probably recognized a few people as officials of the Qin Dynasty, and knelt down to Zhao Sheng and the others while holding the child.

"Dayong is not at home today, what can you do with Dayong?"

Li Xin just wanted to say that they came to investigate the appropriation of the imperial court, when he heard a voice behind him, "Who are you? Why are you at my door?"

Zhao Ze turned around and saw a tall but skinny man walking towards him behind him.

When the woman in the room saw him, she called out to Mr. Wang.

This person is Wang Guiquan.

It is completely opposite to what Zhao Ze imagined.

Zhao Ze thought that Wang Dayong was once the largest planter in Hongxing Village, and his family was rich, so he must have grown fat, but he didn't expect that he was thin and thin.

His appearance did not match his name at all. Wang Dayong must be a short, fat man when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, this person is extremely handsome.

Wang Dayong protected his wife and children, looked at Zhao Ze and the others with vigilance on their faces, and said, "You officials are here again?"

Zhao Ze asked: "Did someone from the imperial court come to you before?"

Seeing Zhao Ze's question, Wang Dayong's eyes suddenly flickered, his eyes flashed with confusion, and he was no longer as determined as before, "Aren't you all officials?"

Li Xin said: "Of course, but we were just sent by the imperial court. We just arrived in Jieshou to investigate the imperial court's appropriation of funds."

At this moment, Wang Dayong's expression became firm again, "There is nothing to say, since the money is not in my account, then I will definitely not stamp this chapter."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ze and Li Xin looked at each other.

Zhao Ze asked: "What do you mean by that? The money from the imperial court did not reach your account, but the account shows that the money has been given to you?"

Hearing this, Wang Dayong's eyes widened, and the woman beside him burst into tears.

"You officials can't bully people too much. When did we get the 300,000 taels? When did we get it?"

As soon as the woman cried, the two children cried with her.

This caught Li Xin off guard, and he quickly explained, "We didn't mean that, we just came to investigate, and we just felt that the account was wrong.

Hearing this, the woman stopped crying, and at this moment Wang Dayong also looked at the two and asked: "You really think that the account is wrong."

Zhao Ze nodded: "If I think it's right, I won't come to investigate."

But at the beginning he felt that the account was wrong, not because he thought that Wang Dayong didn't collect the money, but because he thought that Wang Dayong's compensation might not need so much.

What he suspected at the time was that the number of assets reported and registered by Wang Dayong was false, so he wanted to check his assets specially.

But he didn't expect that he heard a more earth-shattering secret.

The money was a total of 300,000 taels, but it did not reach Wang Dayong's hands in the end.

After figuring out what was going on, Zhao Ze asked again: "Then don't you ask the local magistrate and county magistrate for the money?"

This is a full 300,000 taels, and it was still at the most difficult time.

The first thing ordinary people think of at this time must be to ask the local officials for the money.

Wang Dayong sighed, "The local county magistrate and magistrate took the property registration amount I reported as a fake, and they have been delaying and refusing to give the money. It's useless to make a fuss.

Wang Dayong was a decent person before, so he couldn't do the kind of thing that a rogue would do.

But this honest person is easy to be bullied. The local magistrate and the county saw him like this, so they delayed and refused to give it.

Li Xin asked him: "Then is the asset registration number you reported wrong?".
