Mobile reading
The feng shui of the county government implies the spirit fork, which is used to suppress hair and ward off evil, and if it is a coincidence, it can also change the destiny of heaven. It's just that the governors of several times are not people who have a fate, not only can not stimulate the dragon vein, but also let the migration of the Gong family change the feng shui. Seeing that Jincheng was flying hopelessly, Luo Linhai also lost his fighting spirit, and felt that the people of Jincheng were empty to guard Baoshan, and they might have to wait for a thousand years before they could sew up any more destined people.
Looking at it, Luo Linhai was suddenly startled, and the county government didn't know what was burning, the fire suddenly burst out of the inner courtyard, and a puff of smoke rushed up to the sky with the firelight, and the fire was like a dragon soaring into the sky.
Who set the fire? Luo Linhai watched excitedly as the light of the fire spread out in the air, and the mist with the light of the fire slowly spread from the sky above the county office, becoming wider and wider. More things were thrown into the fire, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, but the fire was not spread in a controlled way.
The firelight reflected half of the sky of the county government, and many people in Dongcheng District came out to watch, and some people who knew Luo Linhai were surprised to find that this feng shui master, who had always been unrestrained and expressionless all year round, actually smiled like a fool, and muttered something to burn well...... Strange words that burn wonderfully......
There was another turmoil
Chu came to Jincheng because of Mu Xiaoluo, and because of Gu Qing, compared to his hometown Jiangnan, he didn't like Jincheng very much. Just because there was someone he liked, and seeing that Mu Xiaoluo looked like he wanted to build their home, he used more snacks in it.
Although the affairs of the county government are quick to get started with the rich and double fingers, but he is not here, first, because the county government is useless, there is not much to do, and second, he prefers to train elite soldiers than to deploy manpower. It's just that in the name of the fourth prince, he doesn't know if his 'sick' body will arouse suspicion when he trains soldiers.
I had nothing to do, and I was energetic, so I transferred all my people to Jincheng and prepared to grab business with those families in Xicheng District. He had been trained by Chu Yun'an in his early years, and he was smart, and the people in the shadow building were all trained by him, and he figured out the business path in Xicheng District in just a few days.
Before he was ready to start, he discovered the abnormality, and Chu Yunan's people, Shopkeeper Liu, also marched into Jincheng. Chu Ji didn't have a branch in Jincheng, and Chu Yun'an couldn't let him think about it too much, this was to immerse the power into their territory! It was also convenient to spy on them.
Chu Qingyan was a little annoyed, thinking about how to squeeze them out and make them unable to gain a foothold in Jincheng. After Mu Xiaoluo learned about this, she asked Shopkeeper Liu in detail about their movements, and after learning that these people had bought land in Xicheng District, she smiled and said: "You let them make trouble! Our foundation is in Dongcheng, and when we build Dongcheng well, those lands in Xicheng will be worthless, and then they will think of Dongcheng and look at your face!"
Chu said lightly and depressedly: "I'm not angry because of this, I'm depressed that they stayed in Jincheng, can't I show up with my true face for the rest of my life?"
Mu Xiaoluo thinks about it, it's always weird to put on someone else's face, although he appeared in his true face when he was in the room for the two of them, but for others, there is only Wu Mingyu in the world, Chu Qingmad has completely disappeared, and it is understandable that the eldest prince of Chu is depressed.
"Take your time, I'll think of a way for you to show up in the open!" Mu Xiaoluo could only comfort him like this.
Chu Gongzi hugged her aggrievedly, and said pitifully with his ears and temples: "I'm so wronged, you are obviously my lady, but I want to be in love with you with other people's faces...... How much I want to appear openly with you with my original face, so that the world knows that you are mine, do you understand my feelings?"
"I understand!" Mu Xiaoluo is the most aggrieved person, and now she has more intimacy with the 'Wu Mingyu' he plays, and he will have to bear one more burden when he 'remarries' to Chu Qingmad, she has a headache when she thinks of this complicated relationship, and she no longer knows whether to be unfamiliar or to be affectionate.
If it can't be solved, don't think about it, Mu Xiaoluo pulled Chu to inspect their fields.
Ge An has a very strong ability to do things, and bought or rented thousands of acres of land near the outside of Dongcheng, Mu Xiaoluo asked Jiang Yao to choose a piece of land near the city to build a military camp, and a large piece of land in the middle was used as a school field, not only to run horses, but also to train soldiers.
She drew a lot of simple equipment for Zhang Qing to do when she was a special police officer, and also specially formulated a set of training methods suitable for these soldiers for Jiang Cao to do, Jiang Xi began to doubt whether her method was applicable, and when Mu Xiaoluo lied and said that this was the method used by the old marquis Mu to train soldiers, Jiang Xi resolutely implemented it without any doubt.
Mu Xiaoluo was speechless, does this modern training method have to be named in the name of the old marquis in order to be trusted? She swore that when she would leave, she would personally teach Jiang Cao's soldiers how to capture them, and crown Mu Xiaoluo as the first one, to see if Jiang Yao was convinced.
The four backyards of the county government were changed under Mu Xiaoluo's design, and she and Chu Qingfang occupied the innermost courtyard. Qingbo Gu sister-in-law Qiaolian has a courtyard, Gu Qing has a courtyard of his own, and those who serve him are a few henchmen, so he doesn't have to worry about being found out about his exchange with Chu Qingfang.
Jiang Xiao and they are stationed in the barracks, not too far from the city, Mu Xiaoluo picked this land based on this consideration, the five major families are ignoring their arrival, but they can't help but take precautions, they have time to take care of anything if something happens here, the biggest advantage is that the nearby fields are theirs, and the army can take care of the fields here.
To raise soldiers with agriculture, this was proposed by Mu Xiaoluo first, so she first summoned ten generals led by Jiang Yu to a meeting.
First of all, she told them all about the current situation of the Jincheng County Ya, and asked Yuan Ming to report all the assets of herself and 'Wu Mingyu' to everyone, and finally Yuan Ming calculated the daily expenses of three thousand elite soldiers and the people brought by the four princes.
This calculation shocked all the generals, including Jiang Cao, their eyes widened, even if the four princes took out all their property, this silver was only enough for all of them to live for three months, what should everyone do after three months, drink the northwest wind?
Mu Xiaoluo saw that everyone was starting to get nervous, so she told her plan to raise soldiers with farming. A few generals expressed their understanding, after all, they had to rely on themselves when they came to Shudi, and it was unrealistic to expect the imperial court to allocate money.
A few generals disagreed, they were the personal soldiers of the four princes, and the task was to protect the four princes, not to cultivate the fields, if the four princes couldn't even support them, it was better to disperse as soon as possible and go their separate ways.
Naturally, they didn't say it clearly, and Mu Xiaoluo figured out this meaning from their vague words, which was expected by her, so it was not surprising. Immediately let Chu lightly express his attitude, those who are willing to stay are welcome to stay, and those who are unwilling to stay, from generals to soldiers, can go to Yuan Ming to receive severance pay or a letter of recommendation, recommending them to go to other military camps.
This matter was resolved after two days, and more than 400 people led by Tao Li left, they saw the ruins of the county government, and felt that the four princes had no future, so they retreated.
He pointed to the thousands of acres of land around him and said to the soldiers: "These lands are ours, we have hands and feet, are we still afraid of starvation? Princess Mu and His Royal Highness have taken out their own family resources, can't we still see their sincerity? With such a master who is willing to share weal and sorrow with us, who dares to say that we have no future?"
Many of these soldiers are real people, and they all come to serve as soldiers when their families can't eat enough, and people are encouraged to see these thousands of acres of fertile land, and the croppers understand a truth, as long as they are hardworking, why worry about not having enough to eat!
The future is the goal of the generals and generals, not for these little soldiers, the little soldiers are not demanding, and they will be satisfied if they are full and can leave a little money to their families.
Mu Xiaoluo was moved by the simple wishes of these soldiers, and asked Jiang Yu to launch a policy, the families of these soldiers, no matter who is willing to come to Jincheng to settle down, each household will send a plate to the field.
There are too many barren land in Jincheng, and if you want to make achievements, you need to be prosperous, Mu Xiaoluo is encouraging everyone to settle down in Jincheng and take root, the roots are here, why worry about the soldiers not taking Jincheng as their own home to build well!
This policy was very popular with the soldiers, and some people immediately sent letters to their families, saying how good Princess Mu was, and persuading her family to come to Jincheng to settle down. The land here is obvious to all, and if you can get a piece of land, a family can live a good life after a few years of hard work, so why not!
The victims who followed them on the road were also allocated fields, and they also received the settling-in allowance given by Mu Xiaoluo, and after registering with Yuan Ming, they happily went to prepare for spring ploughing.
Coupled with the fields planted by the soldiers, as well as the fields and mountains that Yuan Ming bought one after another, it is nearly 2,000 acres, and Mu Xiaoluo is very relieved to look through the account books.
Although the investment cost them more than half of their money, it was worth it. If there is a drought or flood in the coming year, these lands will be the foundation of their lives!
Chu Qingyan likes business more than agriculture, although he is not very interested in agriculture, he still accompanies Mu Xiaoluo wherever she goes, he said that he likes to see Mu Xiaoluo do things seriously, and that feeling makes him feel very warm, and he wants to keep looking like this......
Mu Xiaoluo felt a little sad when she heard this, there were only a few days left before fifteen, and Chu Yunan could only continue to suffer if he didn't send the antidote. Chu said it lightly, and she knew that after the last poison, his whole body had no internal strength for two days, and he was sweating profusely as soon as his bones touched it, and that kind of crime was simply not human!
If you don't want to be offended, you can only take the jade seal to exchange for the antidote, but Chu Qing is arrogant and Gu Qing disagreed, and said to him: "This jade seal is now the protective talisman of the three of us, if you can't get the jade seal for a day, Chu Yunan will be jealous of us for a day, if he gets the jade seal, the three of us will have no use value for him, and he won't let us live!"
This road can't go through, so you can only go to Miaojiang to find an antidote, Mu Xiaoluo secretly sent someone to find Miaoli and wanted to ask her to help with this. Miaoli didn't find it, but Xiang Lan reappeared in the shadows, and openly found the county office, which made Chu Qingfang depressed, and let Wei Tao lure her away, why did she come back again!
Wei Tao is very aggrieved, people are people, or people who have a life-saving grace for them, if they change someone else, why bother to lead it, just kill it if you get annoyed......
Mu Xiaoluo didn't see it that way, why was Xiang Lan so persistent? Wasn't it Chu Qingyan who promised her something? Otherwise, how could she find the county government so accurately?
Free stories
Mu Xiaoluo and the others planned to treat them on the day they moved into the county office, and for this reason, several people specially sorted out a list of guests. In addition to the heads of the five major families, he also invited famous bachelors in Jincheng and some other representative figures.
Most of the invitations were sent by Chu Qingfang, and Mu Xiaoluo only left a few to send by herself, and one of them was Yang Xi's. They came here to invite a few local mothers to cook, and in the name of cooking, they actually wanted to inquire about the news.
Among the gossip of several old mothers, Mu Xiaoluo was most interested in this Yang patriarch, but she didn't expect that this old man in his sixties still had a childlike heart, and he actually offered a reward for the story.
Mu Xiaoluo felt funny when she first heard it, he was tired of hearing the stories of this era, if she told all the modern stories, and charged one hundred taels for each story, could the Yang family support a year without going bankrupt?
Mu Xiaoluo likes Yang Xi's shortcomings, as long as there are shortcomings, she is not afraid that the five major families will not be able to overcome them, and the first one she wants to pull Yang Xi over. With this idea in mind, Mu Xiaoluo and Qingbo prepared to go to Xicheng District.
Chu Qingyan originally wanted to go, but Mu Xiaoluo said that his goal was too big, so he asked him to stay in the mansion and command the soldiers to set up the furniture, and he took Jiang Yu from Qingbo Yuanshan and set off.
Qingbo was the first to discover Xiang Lan, and when he went out, he saw Xiang Lan standing proudly on the street opposite the county office. She wore a water-red dress, and she looked like a killer at all, but more like the little girl next door.
Qingbo was stunned, stared at her before catching up with Mu Xiaoluo's sedan chair, walked away and turned around, and saw Xiang Lan still standing in place. She frowned, what does Xiang Lan want to do?
Yuan Shan didn't pay attention to his sister's mistake, and followed Jiang Xi as he walked and said, "Brother Jiang, can I go to your military camp to practice when I go back?" I heard Brother Zhang say that he made a lot of fitness equipment for you, but it is easy to use, is it true?"
Jiang Cao smiled and said: "It's not done yet!" Zhang Qing said that you can't use it first, you can't use it until the princess explains it to us, and you can come and see it when the princess comes!"
Yuan Shan ran to the sedan chair and shouted in a low voice, "Sister Rong, can I go with you?"
Mu Xiaoluo sat in the sedan chair and shook her head helplessly, this person is really curious about the baby, she wants to learn everything, and if she does this, the things in her stomach will be emptied by him. However, she still likes Yuanshan's spirit of curiosity, knowing that she likes to eat Sichuan food, this godbrother actually dressed up in disguise and ate all the famous Sichuan restaurants in Xicheng District. He is a master of cooking, no matter what dishes are served to taste, he will know what ingredients are put in, and when he comes back, he looks decent, and some of them are better than what others make.
Even Chu Qingfang, a person who is very picky about eating, said that he was good, and shouted that he would open a restaurant bigger than Zuixianglou in Yuanshan and rob the business of the restaurant in Xicheng District.
