Long Xiao established the ancestral hall of the Long family and got the emperor's royal approval, which is also a very decent thing in Shenwu County, that is, the county Chengwu, the main book Xing Mantang, and the history of Zhang Chengdu is very envious, and they all want to build a manor in their hometown and establish a ancestral hall. However, the three of them didn't even dare to think about it if they wanted to get the emperor's royal approval, so they could only ask Long Xiao to write an inscription. However, in their opinion, the ancestral hall of the clan with the inscription of Long Xiao is not bad, and it is also very decent, no matter what, Long Xiao is today's county order, and it is also very glorious.

Long Xiao is in Shenwu County, and the errands are still relatively leisurely, because a lot of work is done by the three subordinates, especially the trial of cases, there are cases every day, especially cases that only have public security, there are more. This was dealt with by the county lord in the past, but since Long Xiao took office, this status quo has changed, and many branch yamen have been set up in the county, such as the county yamen, the classic history yamen, and the urban management yamen of the four city gates. In this way, Long Xiao will be idle, just let the master collect money and food, regulate the silver, and consume the silver by fire, and don't worry about other things.

It is the staff in charge of the master, although there are fifty or sixty people, but Long Xiao is very relieved, basically not asking, even the master Zhou Zhong, he knows that he has a lot of rights, when he is doing errands, eat some kickbacks, Long Xiao thinks that as long as it is within a reasonable range, he will turn a blind eye. The more this is the case, the more relaxed I am, instead of drinking tea in the Zhixian Yamen, I go to Wu's medicine shop to see a doctor, so as to have some fun.

On this day, Long Xiao treated a few Qinglou girls in Wu's medicine shop, and asked the Qinglou girls: "You come to me every month for treatment, and it costs 5oo taels of silver, so how much do you charge?" ", Qinglou girl: "Lord Long, let's put it this way, after your treatment, we pick up customers every time is 2oo taels, even if it is an old acquaintance, it is also 1oo taels, it is not a problem to earn thousands of taels of silver a month, but there is one thing, now there are too many Qinglou girls in Shenwu County, and there are so few who can be treated by you, just like me, I have been here seven or eight times, but I have only met you once, it is really difficult", Long Xiao smiled, it seems that his own treatment, in these Qinglou women, is really effective, and he charges 5oo taels of silver, These Qinglou girls don't lose anything, they lose those Qinglou guests.

A common man, a year, is to earn dozens of taels of silver, the common people do not dare to green buildings, even those relatively cheap green buildings, one or two taels of silver at a time, the common people can not afford to consume, are those business officials. An official, a year's silver may not be a lot, but there are many ways to make money, take a catch fast, a month at most 5 taels of silver salary, but each catch is in charge of a place, the regular rules of silver are dozens of taels is really hundreds of taels, a year is thousands of taels.

This is the advantage of being willing to be an official, the official's annual salary is not much, not even as good as the common people in a village, that is, Long Xiao himself, a magistrate, a county, a year's income is only 12o taels, if you count on the income to live, it is really a clean official. As the saying goes, three years of Qing prefect 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Even if it is an innocent prefect, it can't be said that there are no hundreds of thousands of taels in three years, not to mention those officials who speculate and drill camps, and they will get even more silver. There are also businessmen, they all say that businessmen are no treacherous businessmen, this is not true at all, businessmen do not do things without profits, unless it is a charity hall.

Therefore, there are more than 100,000 shops and restaurants in Shenwu County, so that there is the prosperity of Qinglou Street, and Shenwu County has tens of millions of taels of silver and tens of millions of taels of taxes every year, and Shenwu County has the title of the first county in the world. Long Xiao was chatting with the Qinglou girl, and he learned a lot of interesting things from the Qinglou girl, the Qinglou girl saw that Long Xiao was approachable, and she was willing to chat with Long Xiao, Long Xiao's reputation in Wu's medicine shop was even better than his official reputation.

Long Xiao was chatting, Master Zhou Zhong came over, Long Xiao knew that something was wrong at a glance, otherwise Master would not have found here. I saw Zhou Zhong holding a letter, saying that it was sent from the post station, and it was Long Xiao's express letter. Long Xiao took it and took it apart, it turned out to be the eldest brother Long Zhi, saying that he wanted to go home to save his relatives and arrive in Shenwu County within three days. Long Xiao was overjoyed when he saw it, so he hurriedly sent someone to Wolong Village to report that the eldest brother Long Zhi was coming back. When Long Xiao's father, Long Xing, heard this, he hurriedly called the village chief Long Qiwei, and organized people to clean the streets and deal with sanitation everywhere in order to welcome his son.

Now Wolong Village is full of green brick paving, it is very clean, and it is very convenient to clean, the reason why Longxing wants the village people to clean is just a form, that is, he wants his son to see a clean village. Long Xiao waited in the county, and Long Zhi's letter said that he would follow the pipeline to the county seat of Shenwu County first, and then return to his hometown. In other words, the form of officialdom is still inevitable.

Long Zhi is now a military attache and a marshal guarding the frontier, second only to the generalissimo in his position, and he is a pillar in the court. Long Xiao reported to the prefect Xu Rushan, and the prefect Xu immediately led the men and horses to wait in Shenwu County, waiting for Long Zhi's arrival.

Sure enough, two days later, Long Zhi's brigade came in a mighty way, Long Zhi also brought his family, this time the provincial relatives, Long Xiao came to pick up his family members to go to northern Xinjiang. According to the regulations of the Great Sui Dynasty, as long as the military generals guarding the frontier have served for five years, they can bring their families with the army. Originally, Long Zhi had served for five years, but because of the instability in northern Xinjiang, he had been delaying and did not come back with his family, and now there is basically no war in northern Xinjiang, Long Zhi came back and brought his family to accompany the army. Before joining the army, I had to go back to my hometown to see, and this time I went, it might be a few years, or even more than ten years.

Long Zhi entered the county government of Shenwu County, the prefect Xu Rushan, and Long Xiao led their subordinates to greet them, and the officialdom ceremony was over, and the following was a personal relationship. Xu Rushan is not a stupid person, knowing that Long Zhi is the master of the dynasty and the marshal guarding the border pass, and there are still actions on the official face, so he respectfully sent 1o thousand taels of silver. When Long Zhi saw it, he knew that it was a rule, so he accepted it politely, and then had a meal with Xu Zhifu under Long Xiao's arrangement, and Xu Zhifu left. The rest is Long Xiao's Zhixian Yamen, the county Chengwu is very in charge of the history, and he is also an understanding person, each of them took out 2oo thousand taels and gave them to Long Zhi in person, which is regarded as filial piety to Shangguan. When Long Zhi saw so much, he looked at Long Xiao in surprise, Long Xiao just smiled and didn't speak, Long Zhi knew that he could accept it, so he accepted 6oo taels of silver from the three of them.

After the others left, Long Zhi asked Long Xiao: "Fourth brother, your subordinates are so rich, even if they are corrupt, a small county doesn't have much money, right?" ”。 Long Xiao smiled and explained to Long Zhi, and when Long Zhi listened to Long Xiao's explanation, he understood that the money was not embezzled, but earned by Long Xiao from business. It is a Wu's official kiln, and the annual profit is more than one billion taels of silver. In other words, Long Xiao has several such factories, Long Zhi is very surprised; "Fourth brother, your degree of making money is not low, how can you be an official who is not happy? Anyway, you are also the champion, how many years have you been doing, or is it a county? Don't have the idea of getting promoted? After all, you are also a colt, so the emperor didn't give you an edict? ”。

Long Xiao: "Big brother, it's because I don't want to be promoted, it's good to be a magistrate, I have a lot of freedom, if I become an official, there will be too much trouble, you know, I'm just looking for the Mo Evil Divine Sword, if I make the official bigger, I won't have time." Long Zhi suddenly remembered that when Long Xiao was a child, he had liked ancient swords, especially a divine sword called Mo Ye, and he had been looking for it early; "Fourth brother, after so many years, you haven't found that ancient sword? What's it called? ”。 Long Xiao: "Yes, I am very fascinated by the Mo Evil Divine Sword, but I just didn't have a chance to see it, if the eldest brother is in the northern Xinjiang, if there is any news, you must notify me immediately." Long Zhi was full of promises, and asked, "How are you at home?" Long Xiao said with a smile: "After you go back, you will know that there have been great changes in the family, and our parents are also very good, anyway, you will be clear when you go back."

Long Zhi was a little suspicious: "What changes can be made in the family?" Long Xiao didn't explain, and returned to Wolong Village with his eldest brother Long Zhi the next day. When Long Zhi saw it, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Long Xiao: "Why is there even a city wall, is there still bandits to harass it?" ”。 Long Xiao smiled: "That's not, as long as this city wall is for feng shui, it was designed by an old scholar in the village, and it was my money, I think as long as it's good, you see, the whole village is a yin and yang Taiji gossip map, our house is located in the middle, isn't it a bit of a king?" ”。 Long Zhi saw that this village was built with momentum, especially his own house, in the center of the village, it was like an imperial city, and there was a faint king's atmosphere.
