Chapter 176: Shocking News
The wasteland has been successfully bought, so the next step is to enter the stage of opening up non-stop.
Yesterday, through Lord Huang's jade mouth, the Qiduo family was rewarded with two more ploughing oxen and one horse.
The imperial court originally stipulated that 100 acres of wasteland should be reclaimed by one cow, but Lord Huang thought that it would be better to give five or six cows than two cows and a horse.
Horses are still very useful.
Qiduo, Tan Dejin, and Tan Debao went to the county government together, went to find the ancient county order, and brought the cattle and horses back.
When Gu Xian Ling saw Qiduo, he was very enthusiastic, and he didn't dare to slack off, let alone be embarrassed, so he personally took Qiduo and three people to the livestock shed to select cattle and horses.
Gu Xian Ling has been rolling in officialdom for many years, and he has not learned other skills, but he has learned a lot from looking at people's faces and seeing the wind and rudder.
Yesterday at Shen's house, he could see that Zheng Wan spoiled Qiduo as a daughter, and maintained it everywhere, Shen Huairen's eyes when he looked at Qiduo were as gentle as his daughter.
Also, Lord Huang and his wife are also full of praise for Qiduo, and repeatedly asked him to take care of Qiduo's family in the future, and when there is a difficulty, he must help out.
He also said that the Qiduo family bought more than 500 acres of barren mountains at one time, if they planted well, it would be a good example for other people, so in the future, the barren mountains and wastelands in Tonglin County will still be uncultivated?
Lord Huang mentioned later that if the reclamation rate of barren mountains in Tonglin County could be improved, he would have to be given an official and a knight.
Hearing these words, Gu County's heart rippled, who doesn't want to increase the official!
He even thought that after being a county magistrate for many years, he had long aspired to higher power, if he could be appointed governor or prefect. That would govern a much larger place. There are more people who come to talk to themselves. Are you worried that you won't be able to make more money?
Thinking of the silver in vain, Gu Xianling didn't sleep well all night.
He now felt that not only could he not embarrass Qiduo, but he also had to stammer her well, and let her say a few more good words about himself in front of Shen Huairen.
He knew that Shen Huairen might have to re-enter the office in the second half of next year, and if he got Shen Huairen's big backer in the court, the future would of course be bright.
In the face of the cattle and horses selected by the ancient county order, Qiduo can't see the good or the bad, look at Tan Dejin.
Tan Dekin nodded at her. "Good cow, good horse."
The horses are tamed captive horses, very tame, with bright eyes, smooth fur, and can be seen to be well fed and in good health.
The two cows have four thick hooves, and the two horns are large and thick, and they are also good.
Qiduo smiled and thanked Gu Xianling, "Thank you, sir." ”
"The seventh girl is too polite, don't say that these things were ordered by Lord Huang and Lord Shen. Even if you don't know any of you, come to this official to do something. The official also has to do these things well.
Because this official is the parent official of Tonglin County, you are the people of this official, and if this official does not love or help you, then who will he love? This is a trivial matter that the official should do, and the seventh girl should not mention it in front of Lord Shen, it will make the subordinate embarrassed. "The ancient county order is serious, and he looks like a good official who loves the people like a son.
He didn't let Qiduo tell Shen Huairen, but in fact, he reminded her that she should go to Shen Huairen to praise him.
How could Qiduo not understand his thoughts, and secretly sneered.
If it weren't for Uncle Shen yesterday, you, a dog official, would have charged us an extra five years in taxes, and today you are embarrassed to pretend to be an official here, which is really cheeky.
Of course, these words scolded in her heart, and on her face, she smiled brightly, "Lord Gu, you are really a good official who loves the people like a son, my uncle likes a good official like you the most, and when I go back, I will definitely tell my uncle the truth." Your Excellency, you're busy, let's go first. ”
"Hehe, this is what this official should do, Seventh Girl, please go." Gu Xian Ling smiled with wrinkles on his face.
He is of medium height, with good facial features, and a righteous body, which really looks like a clean official at first glance.
In fact, it is full of scum in the bones.
Gu County was polite, but Qiduo, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao did not hold it up in front of him, saluted respectfully, and then led the cattle and horses out of the livestock shed.
Out of the livestock shed, Tan Debao showed surprise and asked Qiduo, "Qiduo, I haven't seen you in just a few days, why is even the county master so polite to you?" ”
He didn't know what was going on, which made Qiduo's identity rise several notches at once.
"Hehe, Fourth Uncle, don't you know, these seven are all the credit of Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen." Seven squinted and smiled.
Then she roughly told me what had happened.
Tan Dejin listened to the smirk on the side, and he couldn't suppress the pride in his heart, whose daughter can have such ability as my daughter.
When Tan Debao learned the truth, he was also happy in his heart.
He knows that it is not easy to do anything, when you have no money, rich people will bully you, and when you have money, some ruffians may come to the door to play tricks.
If you have a very hard backer, then all these problems can be solved.
"Qiduo, you are really getting more and more amazing now, and in a while, you will definitely become a celebrity in our Tonglin County, hehe." Tan Debao smiled and praised.
"Fourth uncle, don't laugh at me, we are all a family, you don't know how many catties and taels I have." Seven embarrassed responses.
"It's because I know how heavy you are, that's why I say this, it's just around the corner." Tan Debao replied.
Qiduo smiled, didn't answer, diverted the topic, and said to Tan Dejin, "Dad, the fourth uncle and Uncle Tang are watching the lotus pond in Luhuapo, and it is not a long-term thing to live in that small wooden shed, it is too simple, the effect of sheltering from the wind and rain is too poor, and they are sinned."
Should we build some houses there, I have long had this plan, but at that time, because I didn't know if the barren mountain in Ludao could be bought, it was difficult to decide how big the house to build, and now the Luhuapo piece now belongs to our family, and this house can be built bigger and stronger.
Dad, Fourth Uncle, what is your opinion? ”
said this in front of Tan Debao, which means that I believe that Tan Dejin will not object.
There is no reason to object, the house must be built.
Tan Dejin nodded and said yes.
Tan Debao didn't object, he said, "Big brother." Seven flowers. Actually, I don't care. Anyway, I'm single, and I live the same everywhere. It's just that after Brother Tang learned yesterday that you bought the barren mountain, he seems to have a plan to work here for a long time. If Brother Tang really works here for a long time, he will drag his family with him, and there must be a place to stay. ”
Qiduo nodded and asked, "Fourth Uncle." How did you and Uncle Tang meet? How well do you know him? ”
I've always wanted to ask this question, but then I've always been diverted by one thing or another.
Speaking of the past, there was intense pain in the depths of Tan Debao's eyes.
Being able to meet Tang Hu was a major turning point in his life, but the reason for meeting Tang Hu was the source of pain that he didn't want to touch again.
"Everyone, why are you here?" Just as Tan Debao was struggling with his thoughts, Wang Honglei came from the left with a surprised voice.
Seven of them were interrupted from their thoughts, and they all followed the sound.
I saw Wang Honglei dressed in civilian clothes and walking briskly in the grocery store on the side of the road.
"It's Red Thunder. We've got something to do. Tan Dejin responded very coldly.
After listening to Gu County's words yesterday, his impression of Wang Honglei was a few points worse.
Wang Honglei looked at the seven cows and horses they were leading. His eyes tightened, and his heart was full of suspicions.
"Everyone, this cow and horse are the things of the official family, why did you lead them? Isn't it ......" Wang Honglei asked, suspecting Tan Dejin that they had stolen cattle and horses.
"Brother-in-law, how do you know that this is an official thing?" Qiduo asked curiously.
This cow and horse look similar, how can Wang Honglei recognize it at a glance.
Wang Honglei smiled with contempt, pointed to the hooves of the cow and the horse, and said, "You see, their legs are tattooed with the marks of the official family, which is to prevent someone from stealing them. ”
After such an explanation, Qiduo and Tan Dejin looked over, and sure enough, they found that there was a scar about a centimeter away from the cow's hoof.
I really didn't pay attention to it before, but fortunately, Wang Honglei reminded me, so I don't have to worry about mixing with other people's cattle in the future.
"Where did you get it?" Wang Honglei asked again.
"It was given to us by the ancient county order, eldest brother-in-law, you are busy, let's go first." Qiduo smiled at him, then waved a hand, and pulled Niu Dang to walk forward first, not wanting to say much to him.
Tan Dejin and Tan Debao didn't want to explain anything to him, so they smiled and walked away.
Wang Honglei looked at their backs and frowned.
After thinking for a while, he walked quickly in the direction of the yamen, to know how to come back, it seems that the only way to ask the ancient county order is to ask.
learned what happened from the ancient county order, Wang Honglei seemed to have been struck by thunder, he couldn't believe everything he heard, how could the poor family have money to buy land?
There must be something greasy in this.
He didn't tell Gu County Ling about his relationship with the Qiduo family, but hurriedly left the yamen and went home.
I have to tell this shocking news to Mr. and Mrs. Tan Deyin.
Because Tan Damei went to Xiang's house yesterday and told the people of the family that Mrs. Xiang was back today, the Yang family wanted to get a letter, so she didn't go back yesterday.
Wang Honglei called Yang and Tan Damei to the West Wing.
Tan Deyin's legs were wrapped in bandages, leaning on the bed and closing his eyes.
Although the person has lost some weight, he is in good spirits, which may be the reason for making money.
"Red Thunder, you called us together in such a hurry, what's wrong?" Yang asked.
"Something is wrong." Wang Honglei said with a very heavy face, like a mourner.
"What's the matter, say it quickly." Tan Deyin's eyes opened, he sat up straight, and asked hurriedly.
Yang and Tan Damei also looked at Wang Honglei with nervous eyes.
Wang Honglei patted his thigh and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, do you know that the public has bought land." ”
"How is it possible, where did their family get the money to buy land, it would be good if they could support themselves. Although I dug up a little lotus, but if the lotus root can be sold, I heard San Lang say, the lotus root is still piled up at home, like a mountain, I can't see it for a few days, the lotus root is all rotten, and it is worthless. Tan Deyin immediately scoffed.
He also heard about the lotus root in Luhuapo, but he was not optimistic.
Yang and Tan Damei also nodded in agreement, thinking that Tan Deyin was reasonable, and Wang Honglei must have made a mistake. (To be continued......)

Introduction: The wolf smoke of the border of the Dasheng Dynasty rose, and the five sons of the general Zhenguo's family went to the battle, and they could sacrifice their lives for the country at any time.
Before leaving, the old lady begged for a holy decree in tears, asking for Gorou to marry the legendary daughter of the Cui family of Anding Bofu, who was particularly good at giving birth to children, in order to be hit with one shot and bear fruit.
There is a daughter in Andingbo's Mansion, either pretending to be sick or disappearing while playing, only Cui Ling thinks that this is a good family-
The door is high, and no one deceives; The thief has money, but the standard of living is not low; is a little daughter-in-law again, and her life is easy to mix without responsibility;
There is no three years and five years that you can't come back, and you are happy to be pure; If the husband is unlucky, it is the widow of a martyr who enjoys state subsidies!
This is too tempting for her, who has been intriguing all her life and just wants to live a peaceful retirement life in this life! Big! Finish!
In the chaos, Cui Ling calmly spoke, "I'll marry!" ”
