Chapter 69 Entering the county magistrate's heart disease
Although Tian Miao said that she couldn't vomit in her heart, she still looked innocent on the surface, and she said all the words, and there was no reason to take it back.
So she stood up and saluted Master Wei before she said aloud.
"My lord, Tian Miao is a country savage, and he doesn't know what the rules are, if there is something wrong, let the adults not care." Tian Miao said that, but the momentum was full.
"That's nature, what do you say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Master Wei has a strong interest in the little girl in front of him, and it seems that the boss has given him an interesting task this time.
"From the very beginning, our lumber yard has adhered to the principle of cutting one pine tree, which means that if you cut down one pine tree, you will plant three trees in the same place. In order to ensure that the mountain will not be cut down one day, in order to let those small trees survive, my grandfather often went to the mountain to take care of them, and every year when winter came, our whole village went up the mountain to wrap grass ropes around the small trees. In order to ensure that the small trees planted can survive the harsh winter, rather than leaving it alone after planting, for more than a year, none of the small trees planted by our family have died, and all of them have survived. Tian Miao thought to himself, no matter what his purpose was.
As long as she says what she wants to say, she won't believe it, this old Lantern Festival can still hold back and not tell his true purpose.
"That's a good idea, who asked you to do it?" Lord Wei really didn't know about it, and couldn't help but be interested.
"No one asks for it, it's our family who thinks of it, we cut down trees to fill our stomachs, but we don't want to feed ourselves and leave our children and grandchildren alone. If we cut down the mountains, what will happen to the people in the future? If there are trees on the mountain, even if it rains heavily, it will be fine, but if there are no trees on the mountain, then when it rains, all the mud and sand on the mountain will have to be washed down, and slowly, our village will be buried. If it rains heavily, there will be flash floods or something.
Those of us in the mountains love trees from the bottom of our hearts, and if it weren't for the compulsion of life, I wouldn't have touched those trees at all. After years of exploration, we have come up with a safe and effective way to cut trees, and there has not been a single accident since our family opened the lumber storage yard.
This time, if those uncles had come to my house in advance to ask, such a thing would not have happened. Everyone looks at my family as if they have made money, but in fact, our lumber yard has not yet opened, and now the silver in our hands is also a decision, if our wood can not be satisfied last autumn, it will be returned. Tian Miao said half-truthfully.
"Then you're still building a new house with great fanfare?" Master Wei asked the question he was most interested in, in fact, what he wanted to ask the most was, where did your family's money come from?
"There's no way around that, our house has been around for decades, not to mention heavy rain, even moderate rain can't stand it. Even if you don't build a new yard, those houses will have to spend a lot of money to renovate, or something big will happen during the rainy season.
In the fall, guests will come to collect wood, so where will they stay? Seeing that our family is so shabby, people will definitely look down on us, and they won't do business with us if they don't do it well. That's why we slapped our swollen faces and became fat, but the people in the village didn't know the inside story, so they thought that this timber business could make a lot of money, so it would happen to such a big thing. Tian Miao said sincerely, so that Lord Wei couldn't see the problem at all.
"Now tell me, what kind of method do you have to make others stop going up the mountain to cut trees at will?" Lord Wei asked a little interestedly.
It seems that the news above is not accurate, the little girl in front of her is definitely smart, but it should not be the person they are looking for. It seems that it was because things were too coincidental, alas, who would it be if it wasn't her?
"I want to ask the adults to give our family a token or something, as long as you want to go up the mountain to cut down trees in the future, you must go to the yamen to go through the formalities, and pass the multi-party examination before this card can be issued. Those who come to handle it will naturally have to pay a certain fee.
After getting the brand, each tree must be cut down according to the variety of the tree, the age of the tree or something to pay a certain amount of tax, and also plant three young trees of the original variety in the same place, and carefully care for at least three years to ensure the survival of the young trees. In case of violation, the sign will be withdrawn and a fine will be imposed according to the circumstances.
This is the method we came up with, I don't know if you agree? Tian Miao's words came out, not only Tian Erren was stupid, but even Master Wei was stunned.
I didn't expect this child to put forward such an idea, if he really did this, then he would have made political achievements in the management of mountains and forests. As long as I report this idea to the imperial court, then it is a credit, because last year because of the illegal logging in a certain place in the south caused a huge flash flood, and now the imperial court has not thought of an effective method.
I can only send troops to search the mountains from time to time, in case someone goes up the mountain to cut down trees again, and I can't imagine that a country boy can come up with such a good method.
Tian Miao looked at Lord Wei's uncertain face, which made her heart lift again, and she didn't know if he had listened to what she said. Or is he not in it for the silver? But if it weren't for the silver, she wouldn't have anything on her to lead him to such a big effort?
"This matter is very important, this official should think about it carefully, in view of such a big accident in your village, do not go up the mountain to cut down trees in the short term. After seven days, the official will deal with the matter impartially, and it will be too early, and the official will no longer keep you. After Lord Wei finished speaking, he ordered someone to invite the three of them out.
"Miao'er, what do you mean by this county master?" Tian Zhancai felt like he was falling into a fog, and his mind was mushy.
"I don't know, I don't understand." Tian Miao thought to himself, he is a human being and not a god, how do he know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?
"Whatever it means, I don't think it's a bad thing, let's find a place to settle down first." Zhou Wangjia reminded them that they couldn't stand at the yamen all the time.
They came to a very small inn, and in order to save some money, they only needed two rooms, and Tian Miao and his grandfather lived in one. Fortunately, the rooms here are all ondols, so sleeping two people will not be crowded at all.
"Miao'er, why can't I be sure at all in my heart, I always feel that something is going to happen." Tian Zhancai didn't know if he had changed places, or because he was worried, in short, he couldn't sleep when he turned around, and finally sat up.
"Master, don't worry, I don't think it's a big deal." Tian Miao's heart was also bottomless, but she didn't want to scare Tian Zhancai, who had been honest all her life, so she had to comfort him palely.
