The next day, Li Xiao and Zhang Chengcheng went to Yamen. When he arrived at the Yamen, Li Qing reported his name and said that he had come to receive something.

The official didn't even need to report, and warmly welcomed Li Xiaoren and the others in.

The news found by the officials was that Li Qing was the grandson of the third room of the Li Shan family in Lijia Village. Now the Li family is not at home, and the Li family is building a big house.

The county master received him warmly, Li Xiao and the others. It's not the first time Zhang Cheng has come to the county office, he has to come over every time he does something, how can he have this kind of treatment. He was a little flattered. After a while, the county magistrate came over with a few officials and a box of things.

Li Xiao was surprised: "No, this box is all of them." The county magistrate nodded and said that Li Xiaozhen was a smart child.

Zhang Cheng looked at the box and thought to himself, good guy, this is the seal of the government. No wonder the county commander is so enthusiastic.

Li Xiao thanked the county master and wanted to leave with his things. The master stepped forward and stopped, saying, "Our master has prepared a place, let's eat together in the evening."

Li Xiao hurriedly refused and said, "I don't dare to eat at the same table with the eldest master." He also talked about some things that the family was busy with building a house. ”

Seeing that Li Xiao's words didn't seem to be fake, the master continued to ask, who are those officials?

Li Xiao really didn't know who it was, so he said: "I don't know who the person is, I didn't see that person when I went out." I think it must have been someone sent by my master. “

When the county official heard that it was Li Qing's master, he was even more polite, so he wanted to continue to ask him what his master was doing. Who knew that before he could speak, he heard Li Qing say: "I don't know what is in here?" Then he opened the seal and opened the box. It's shining. Li Xiao's first reaction when he opened it was to close it, then glanced at the people around him, laughed dryly twice and turned it on again.

I saw that there were silver ingots neatly placed inside, and Li Xiao moved them away, and there were several layers in a row. At the bottom is a box of jewelry. Li carefully thought that this was not stolen money, but he thought that it should not be, and the stolen money would not be put in the government.

Then Li Xiao picked up a list next to him and saw what was written on it. 15,000 taels of official silver, five strings of pearls, five strings of agate, a pair of jade bracelets, a set of jade faces, three sets of gold and silver jewelry, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a gold collar. There were a lot of things she didn't know, and the provenance of the things was noted.

Not all of these things had to be given to Li Xiao, Zhu Biao was going to give them to Zhu Yi and Li Xiao at that time. Just let Zhu Yi look at Li Xiao's situation, who knew that Zhu Yi saw that Li Xiao's situation was so bad, and it happened that he had caught up with the arrival of the holy decree, he needed to set off immediately, and the box was carried to the yamen without even looking at it.

Li Xiao's first reaction was that these should not be given to him by the master, but should be put on hold for the time being.

The county magistrate took a piece of silver, looked at it and said, "It's official silver." “

Li Xiao asked, "Can I use this?" Then he handed the list to the master."

The master glanced at it and said, "Master Li don't worry, there are all provenance records." It can be used. ”

Li Xiao still breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that this was dirty silver. This is really a windfall, Li thought carefully, I'll use it first, and then I'll go back to the master.

The county magistrate was not at ease, so he asked the officials to escort Li Xiao and Zhang Cheng back.

Li Xiao took the things back to Zhang's house and locked them up in the house for three days. The others were very worried about Li Xiao and didn't know what happened to her. I only know that it was the officials who sent them back at that time. Everyone went to ask Zhang Cheng, but Zhang Cheng didn't say a word. It's just that if Li Xiao wants everyone to know, he will tell everyone. Zhang Cheng felt that Li Xiao was stimulated.

Li Xiao looked at the box in a daze, she wanted to use up all the silver. You must know that the silver is moldy, and it will be thundered by the sky. But what if the money wasn't given to her, but the master put her here temporarily, what would she pay back when the time came? Li Xiao thought about it in the house for three days, and finally decided to use the money to make money, spend the money first, and then earn it back. But how to make money is a problem, she can buy land, if the master comes to ask for money, it is a big deal to give the land to the master. Li Xiao felt that he was very smart, and happily went to the city to buy a map.

The Tang Dynasty, where Li Xiao lived, had a total of ten provinces, 360 prefectures, and 1,800 counties. Daotai has a special department to supervise the state government and inspect the officials of the state government, and the Daotai lord is only responsible for the major events that happen in the state capital on weekdays, and the evaluation of officials, and then hand it over to the imperial court, and some will regularly go to the areas under their jurisdiction to walk around and see the lives of the people. The construction and assessment of the state government is submitted to the Cabinet every three years, and the Cabinet will deal with the issue of promotion and promotion, and one of the evaluations is the evaluation of the Daotai Lord. Each state government administers five counties, and the quality of government performance depends on the tax revenue and construction of the five counties. The standard of living of the common people is also counted.

Her location is, Henan Road, Xuzhou Mansion, Lin'an County, Lijiazhuang. Lijiazhuang is backed by the mountain, the left side is the big river, Zhangjia Village and Lijia Village live next to each other on the same side, and Wujia Village is opposite Zhangjia Village.

Li Xiao looked at the mountains and water, thinking that it would be nice if this river was hers. She can divert water to irrigate the rice fields, build a big windmill on the side of the mountain, and direct the water out, saving even people. It is better to hold a reservoir in the mountains, raise some fish, raise some chickens and ducks, and raise some sows. In this way, in addition to chickens and ducks, you can also eat fish for a year. Build a village next to the reservoir on the hill and plant some fruit trees, preferably ginseng. In this way, when the master comes, the money will be returned.

Dam walls should be built higher to prevent droughts and floods. There is no need to generate electricity, so the drop does not need to be built too large to reduce the pressure on the bottom of the dam. Well, it's best to ask Jiang Craftsman about these, and if he can get them, let him get them right. It is better to buy the mountain behind, and the land on both sides of the river below should also be bought, and in order to prevent others from having ideas, buy some of the land in the village as well. Just leave a section of the river for everyone to use.

Li Xiao went out three days later, pushed open the door and blocked the sunlight with his hands. With a bow and arrow and a knife on his back, he went to Li's house. Li Ren and the four of them were all there, discussing how to persuade Li Xiao to go out.

The four of them were overjoyed when they saw Li Xiao coming. Busy asked her what was wrong. Li Xiao said: "I am thinking about how to spend all the money in my hand at home these days."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Cheng fell from the chair and fell to the ground. The other three were very curious as to why Li Xiao said that.

Wu Tian and the others laughed, and Wu Tian said, "Zhang Cheng, you are already habitually falling. Explain, right? ”

Zhang Cheng said: "Do you know how much money she received when she went to the yamen? ”

The other three looked at Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng said, "Fifteen thousand taels of silver." ”

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then there was a thud, and then the cup fell and the chair crooked.

Wu Tian said: "You're not sick, are you, you have to spend fifteen thousand taels?" ”

Li Ren said: "I see that she is not lightly ill. ”

Wang Wensheng asked, "Don't you want to tell us, do you think of how to spend it?" ”

After Wang Wensheng finished speaking, the room was quiet, and everyone looked at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao said: "Those who know me, Wensheng also." I turned around and said to Jiang Craftsman that the house does not need to be built in sections, it is all built at one time, how to build it easily, quickly, not to save money. Li Ren, Zhang Cheng, Wu Tian, I want to buy all the vacant land in your three villages. I'm going to start going into the mountain tomorrow, and I'm going to buy the mountain behind me. ”

When Li Xiao said that he wanted to buy all the vacant land in the three villages, the other four people were already stupid, and when Li Xiao said that he even bought the mountain, the four of them fried the pot. Li Xiao turned his head and ran away, and the four of them discussed Li Xiao's intentions, but the result was fruitless.
