Chapter 274 I hate this difficult old guy so much

Different from his calmness just now, Jia Tongpan was so anxious in the room that he was about to break out in cold sweat.

At this time, he was like an ant on a hot pot, and the coldness and even arrogance at the beginning had disappeared.

When the person above asked him to "take good care" of these refugees, he agreed without any hesitation.

After all, when he thought about it, these were just a group of lowly country folk, let alone those who had fled all the way from such a far away place. They had no power and no power. He could do whatever he wanted.

Even if he is a local bastard, he will kill whoever he wants to kill?

The mud-legged untouchables are inherently lowly, and no one will stand up for them even if they are killed.

But what he didn't expect was how could these mud-legged refugees from afar have any contact with people in the capital?

Even the nobles and nobles in the capital changed their minds after hearing about this little devil.

The reason why the little devil is called the little devil is because he has a surly and unruly character, and is unpredictable.

Whoever is displeased will be unlucky.

But he has a special status. No one can do anything to him except the one in the palace.

I never expected that such a person would be associated with a group of poor and useless people.

Jia Tongpan is really crying now. The person above wants him to make things difficult for these refugees, but the little devil wants him to resettle these refugees properly.

There are people on both sides that he cannot offend, so what can he do?

He wanted to go to the boss to discuss what to do, but Butler Zhou was staring at him. It was obvious that as long as he didn't give him a satisfactory answer, the man named Zhou would go back and wait for his master to come back and file a complaint.

The little devil is indeed very difficult to deal with! He is just a sixth-grade little sesame official. He is nothing in this capital where nobles gather. How can he withstand the anger of the little devil?

But you can't offend your superiors. Those who are disobedient will definitely be abandoned. I'm afraid my official position will not last long.

This is how to do? what to do? What should I do? Ah ah ah ah ah……

Qiao Ran and Butler Zhou were sitting there, drinking tea leisurely while looking at Jia Tongpan, who was walking around the room, so anxious that he was sweating all over his forehead in the cold weather.

Butler Zhou was sure that the old guy named Jia would never dare to offend his master, so he was very calm.

Seeing Butler Zhou's calm look, Qiao Ran naturally didn't panic and drank tea calmly.

When I see some snacks on the table, I pick them up and put them in my mouth without treating myself as a guest.

The anxious Jia Tongpanze had no time to pay attention to this.

He struggled for a while, almost pulling out all his beard, before making a ruthless decision.

Since neither side can be offended, we can only make a compromise.

He finally stopped pacing and ordered the clerk beside him.

"Go get the map!"

Not long after, the map was brought over.

Jia Tongpan spread this large map on the table and lay on it to study it for a long time, his brows frowning and relaxing.

After a while, Jia Tongpan seemed to have made a decision. He waved to the two people drinking tea leisurely and motioned for them to come over.

Qiao Ran and Butler Zhou walked over and saw Jia Tongpan pointing to several places and saying:

"Steward Zhou, it's not that I'm not reasonable enough and don't want to put these refugees together. There really is no suitable place! You also know that we are in the capital! Outside the city, there are properties purchased by the major families in the capital. Land is hard to come by, so where can we find such a large area to house hundreds of people?”

"And the surrounding counties and towns are mostly mountains and forests. As long as there is flat land suitable for farming, it has been reclaimed by the people. You can't take the fertile land reclaimed by others and give it to these refugees! If they insist on being together, I am really serious There is no way to put them in the same village.”

"Look, there are several counties here, and these villages are relatively large. I can only try my best to resettle these refugees into these villages, so that I can know more people in the same village, so as not to It’s too scattered. What do you think of this arrangement?”

After Jia Tongpan finished speaking, he looked at Butler Zhou hopefully, hoping that he would nod in agreement, so that he could send these two people away as soon as possible.

As for how he will resettle these people later, even if it means settling a whole family in a separate village, is it possible that he will send someone to check?

When he thought about it, the reason why the man asked Butler Zhou to resettle these refugees was just because he got to know these refugees somehow, saw how pitiful they were, and casually agreed to help them resettle better.

He didn't believe that that person could really have any deep friendship with these mud-legged people. How could that noble person worry so much about these poor people?

He thought that if he said this, Butler Zhou would be able to calm down, so he agreed to the arrangement, which could be regarded as an explanation to his master.

Unexpectedly, Butler Zhou looked at him meaningfully, with a touch of ridicule in his tone:

"Master Tongpan, even though ordinary people rarely go out, they don't understand your way of being an official. However, if you say that there is no place near this huge capital city that can accommodate just a few hundred people, I don't believe it. My family The master will definitely not believe it. Lord Tongpan, why don’t you take a closer look and find out if you really can’t find such a place?”

Butler Zhou's patience with Jia Tongpan was exhausted at this time. This old guy wanted to deal with himself and his master so casually. He was really blind!

Jia Tongpan was so angry that he almost went crazy.

Indeed, there are no suitable places to resettle hundreds of refugees in places a little further away from the capital.

He knew of at least three or four places.

However, if he really resettles these refugees in those places, I'm afraid he won't be able to wear his black gauze hat for long!

At this time, Jia Tongpan really hated Butler Zhou, a difficult old guy. Why did he care so much about a bunch of poor people? Why do you have to embarrass yourself, a little official like yourself?

He is not an easy judge. Noble people often ask him to do things. He has to learn to play both sides. No one can be offended by him.

Why is it so difficult for him to survive in the cracks?

Jia Tongpan really wanted to slap the table and have someone kick out Butler Zhou, an old guy who was relying on his power, but he was really afraid of the master behind him.

That little devil is an extremely protective person. Not to mention the old housekeeper who brought him up, even if a hair of his family's dog is picked out, he will take it to someone else's house and take it to their house. It's really difficult to deal with the situation.

Helpless, Jia Tongpan could only pretend to be very attentive, and asked the clerk to bring in a lot of official documents. After studying for a long time, he finally slapped his thigh:

"Yes! If you really must stay together and not be separated, then there is only one place!"
