Chapter 252 Song Dynasty Arsenal

After listening to Mr. Chen's words, Wang sneered and said, "Well, so you admit that this book was stolen by your father."

Chen Yuanwai just talked about the past just now. He suddenly felt that Wang's tone was wrong. He saw that Wang's face was as heavy as water, and he felt that this matter was not trivial. Chen Yuanwai couldn't sit down. He stood up and knelt down to Wang's side with his legs softened: "Mr. Wang, you have to help me no matter what. Now that the government forces me, I have no way out. But I'm leaving. No matter how the book came from, please keep it for me now. In case something happens to me, I won't let my father carry the name of a thief again.

Wang had the intention to let Mr. Chen get up, but he felt that he had to force him again. He slapped the table and said angrily, "The origin of this book is unknown. Are you afraid of swearing on your back? In addition to these books, does your father have any other books left for you? If you are honest, it's okay. Maybe I will help you because you are an honest person. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Mr. Chen was about to cry. He was aggrieved and a little angry. He was angry that how could he turn against him with his kind intentions. Mr. Chen, who was crying, said, "Mr. Wang, what I'm talking about is the truth. The books left by my father are here here, and the compilation was indeed missing at that time, if my father said at that time In fact, the officials will also take my father as a scapegoat. At that time, it will be a death penalty. It's better for no one to know that everyone is safe.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. Wang put himself in the situation at that time. The book had been compiled. No one traced it. No one asked. Suddenly, someone reported that there was an omission in it. Where should the face of the emperor and the minister be put? Those in charge of editing and proofreading. They can't run away from each other, so they don't say anything, and they don't say each other. This is a bit like seeing a doctor for the emperor. The diagnosis results of the ten imperial doctors are the same. Every imperial doctor comes out with their secret words. If you say so, if you want to treat it like this, you will protect yourself and everyone.

In this way, what Mr. Chen said is true, especially his experience is really sympathetic to the king. What's more, Mr. Chen is indeed an honest man. Now it is his own business to find the chapter. At least he knows that it is not such a simple question as losing the chapter, but more related to his own fate. The sky has fallen to the earth. Then, since it's coming to me, I'll bear it together.

Wang's face softened, and he said calmly to Chen, "Get up. I'll help you with this."

When Mr. Chen heard Wang say this, he not only didn't get up, but kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will never forget your great kindness."

Wang came to help him up in a hurry: "What are you doing? Since I promised you, don't worry, but I have a request."

Chen Yuanwai has been grateful to Wang. Not to mention one request, he also agreed to ten. He nodded hurriedly and replied, "Mr. Wang, if you have anything to do, you can tell me."

Wang said in a low voice to Chen, "You can't tell anyone about these books." Mr. Chen nodded all the time. How dare he tell others again?

The two returned to their seats and sat down. When Mr. Chen saw that Wang's side was very calm, he asked doubtfully, "Mr. Wang only ordered this one thing."

Wang side nodded. He took a sip of tea and slowly figured out the matter of finding the volume. At present, there are still important things: "Mr. Chen, I have one more thing. Can you lend me your account book that records the tax collection in the county?"

Chen heard Wang say that he wanted the account book, so he took out the book from his arms and handed it to Wang's hand, and returned to his seat: "This thing is useless to me. Anyway, it is full of dead debts. I have paid all the money asked by the county magistrate in advance. What's the use of this thing?"

Wang side looked at the account book. In recent years, Chen has advanced a lot of silver taels to the county. Fortunately, his ancestors have some savings, but he has to pay out how much money in advance. Among other families, the most domineering Ruyi restaurant on the street owes four or five hundred taels of silver, but it is also strange for Wang to look at this account book. This county Why is the tax so heavy? He also has a restaurant in his own house, and the Jinxiu Building is still open in the capital. The monthly liquor tax plus other commercial taxes is only 20 or 30 taels of silver. How can the tax in this county be compared with the capital? The tax is actually twice that of the capital?

Wang looked down and asked Chen Yuanwai, "Where did you get the number above?"

Chen Yuanwai sighed: "These are assigned by the county government office every month. The county magistrate will collect as much as he says."

Now the king understood. Didn't his father also say just now that the tax apportionment of the court was sent to the prefecture, city and county, and every local official added a percentage. The king had an idea about the leader of the county office tomorrow. He asked Mr. Chen, "Well, can you give me this thing?"

Chen Yuanwai's book was given to Wang. Does he still care about this account book? Originally, he didn't expect to really get the money back: "I didn't ask you a question, but I don't know what's the use of this."

Wang side smiled and put the account book in his arms, squeezed his eyes outside Chen, and said with a smile, "Help you come back." He smiled, and Chen also smiled: "Hey hey, Mr. Wang, don't make fun of me. Now I just want to sell this house and leave this damn place with some money. Alas, I don't know where to go."

Wang's heart moved. Although he recited what he had just recited so fluently, he didn't know how to refine the sulfur, nitrate and other things in ancient times. Seeing that Chen was so proficient in this gunpowder, maybe he could cure his psychological disorder. This person could only use it by himself. Think about it again. Although Chen Yuanwai has this psychological obstacle, he was also very brave when he stopped Tong Guan and Liu Qi just now. This person is usually a coward, and he still has some courage at the critical moment.

Thinking of this, Wang looked at Chen Yuanwai: "If Chen Yuanwai doesn't dislike it, there is a shortage of people around me. It's better to stay with me and do some errands and give you 20 taels of silver a month. What do you think?"

As soon as Chen Yuanwai heard this, he jumped up and said excitedly, "There is such a good thing in the world. Mr. Wang doesn't dislike my lameness and gives me 20 taels of silver every month. Well, I don't know what to say. Thank you, Mr. Thank you."

Wang Bian smiled and said to himself that if I tell you to make gunpowder for me now, I have to scare you to death, but I'm not in a hurry about this matter. Besides, leaving him with me can guarantee that the book will not go wrong again. "You're welcome, Mr. I don't know who else in Chen's family."

Chen hurried back: "I'm just alone. Although I used to have some property in my family, I'm a lame and don't have the ability to support my family. Other girls think I'm a coward, so I don't agree with my relatives twice." With that, Chen also blushed,

Wang side smiled and said, "It's good. You can go back and pack up. You can come at any time after you finish it. Since you are also alone, you can come to my house to celebrate the Spring Festival together."

Mr. Chen's tears came down when Mr. Wang said this. He wiped his eyes with his robe sleeves and said in a slightly sobbing voice, "Sir, you're so kind of me. I'll go back and clean up quickly. I'll come early tomorrow morning. Also, don't call me Mr. Chen in the future. Just call me Chen Kang."

Wang nodded. The word of Yuanwai refers to a large landlord at present. Now this person is so depressed and said that he is a little happy. He sent Chen Kang away. Wang side took a look at the box on the table, which was related to his fate. Unexpectedly, he saw that he pulled out a knife to help and inadvertently knew this. What a big deal. Wang Bong picked up the box, picked it up, and smiled helplessly.

The king took the box and returned to the inner study. His father and brother were waiting for him while holding a book. Seeing the box in his hand, Yuan Ze pointed to the box and said with a smile, "This Chen is really a little kindness to the spring."

Wang wanted to let his father and brother know about this, otherwise he would definitely be worried about it: "Ha ha, it's all old books, and Chen is still regarded as a treasure." He also knew that his father and Yuan Ze would not take it and look at it, so he put it on the table generously,

Wang Anshi put down the book and looked at the sky outside. He smiled and said to Wang and Yuan Ze, "It's really two or three hours."

Wang's stomach also felt cooing at this time. Hearing his father say this, he asked with a smile, "Did my brother help me calculate it?"

Yuan Ze also made an ok gesture and asked the king, "Didn't you say, three hours?"

A comparison of OK is three hours, which is a comparison of two hours. Wang Bing himself thought about it, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to compare it, and he also smiled: "This means OK, that is, it means that you can do a good question without asking the question, do you understand?"

Yuan Ze said to his father, "Dad, look, he is here again, new flowers all day long."

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "Does he understand? Just make it ok." Saying "ok" next to the king

Wang didn't expect that his father still had such a humorous side, so he couldn't help laughing. At this time, Wang Anshi ordered his family to bring the food to the study, and the father and son talked while eating.

The father and son next to the king were very happy. Chen Kang was unlucky. He left Wang Anshi Mansion. While humming Xiaoqu, he was in the moonlight. He went down the dirt road on the salt slope. After a short walk, he arrived at the door of his house in the southeast of the county. He was still happy. He took off the key of the copper lock from his waist and was about to open it. At the door, a person flashed behind him. This man had been waiting for Chen Kang all afternoon. He was scolding Chen Kang in his heart in the cold day. Originally, he was beaten today because of this lame. He was still staring at him back in the cold all afternoon. He saw Chen Kang coming back from afar and said that you were a lame. Did the old man have to stle your leg today? Yes,
