Rong Yi was actively and secretly contacting something, Yang Lan didn't ask, there were some things she could give some opinions and participate, but there were some things she couldn't help.

Because of the spontaneous and voluntary guarding and patrolling of the villagers, there are fewer and fewer sources of pirates, so last year, Rong Yi took a bite of the flesh, which also made Rong Yi grit his teeth with hatred. But the adjutant general said to let him be patient, once the news of the nest is confirmed, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop, and now they can't act rashly no matter what, otherwise it will be those innocent villagers who will die.

I don't know what method Lu Dao Rongyi used, he said that he moved a few pirates who fled back and didn't dare to show up, and they were willing to help exterminate the pirates, on the condition that they erase everything before, be good citizens again, and live a good life.

This is too simple for Rong Yi, it's just a matter of raising their hands, they can run back at the risk of their lives, they already have the consciousness of being arrested, and seeing that the family is indeed getting better and better, they are naturally willing to cooperate with the officers and soldiers when they have a bottom in their hearts.

One of the little men once went to the lair, and volunteered to take the officers and soldiers to investigate and be the vanguard for them, the reason is very simple, when he was out, there was no labor force at home, and the old mother and young brother had a miserable life, and it was the county order that helped him many times, and now the younger brother is still in school, which makes him very grateful and willing to make this trip.

During this period, it took several months to find out, and finally one day the county government announced again that pirates were harboring on a certain island, and they had been completely cleared, and the arrest of these pirates would be postponed for trial in Beijing.

It was a few honest pirates who were escorted, and the remaining criminals had already been sent to the West Heaven by the officers and soldiers, and of course the lieutenant general and his subordinates benefited from this trip. Rong Yi just took some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Most of the remaining gold and silver went to the lieutenants and officers and soldiers. This made the deputy general very embarrassed and felt that he had been treated badly, and Rong Yi repeatedly said that his daughter-in-law liked these calligraphy and paintings very much, and took them back for her to play.

The deputy general just gave up, but he felt that Rong Yi was very sensible and worthy of befriending, but he really fell in love.

After exterminating the pirates, Rong Yi felt a lot easier, and went all out to develop the economy of Fuchun County and invigorate the people's livelihood here. The tax revenue used to develop the village here, build canals, plant trees, repair streets, relieve poor villagers and other measures to benefit the people, has won the support of the people.

And the bulletin board of the county government will post notices every once in a while, writing down the taxes collected by the county government this quarter, how much money is in total, how much money is spent on those constructions, and how much money is spent in total. Whoever was present to sign it, all of them were posted for the people to see.

This open and transparent measure has also been recognized by the people. At the same time, Rong Yi was also whitewashed, the ledger was set up separately, and there must be more than three signatures and fingerprints to spend money, no matter who comes to check, you also don't want to deduct basins for me, take my shortcomings.

This is what Yang Lan reminded at the beginning, she thinks that everything should be prevented before it happens, no matter whether anyone is staring at us or not, we must be honest and selfless, and my uncle will be able to protect you, if you can't wipe your own buttocks, your uncle won't be able to speak for you.

Anyway, our family is not short of this bit of silver, and the one who is running is from the future, I am naturally not afraid of exposure or publicity, and this frank act has won Rong Yi a lot of official reputation.

Three years have come, Rong Yi is doing very well, Fuchun County has jumped from a medium-sized county to a wealthy county, and it has become a place where many people in the capital want to go, the economy is developed here, there are many passenger ships, and there are a lot of taxes to the court every year, and the numbers are well-known, which makes the emperor Longyan happy.

The Rong family is very happy, and the Yang family also feels honored, and a son-in-law who has such a competitive spirit naturally has a bright face.

However, at this time, when there was just a little achievement, the imperial capital began to rob, and some people wanted to come over to pick peaches.

At this time, the concubine's maiden family jumped out again, and the Chen family signaled to the imperial history to impeach Rong Yi, and the officers and soldiers were suspected of rebellion, what is the crime of rebellion, this is a big crime of the nine clans, even if it is not, it will make the emperor jealous.

This time it stabbed the hornet's nest, annoying Yang Xu and Marquis Rong, the two of them are in-laws and belong to the nine clans, the two joined forces to find a sharp-tongued imperial history, and sprayed the Chen family in court with a face of spit.

The quarrel was inexorable, but Rong Yi didn't know the situation because of the untimely communication.

When the letter arrived, the clouds had cleared, and Rong Yi shouted after receiving the letter, he was glad that he had listened to his daughter-in-law's words at the beginning, and he was tired of writing more excerpts in everything, if he hadn't informed the emperor in advance, maybe what would have happened now.

When I returned to the main courtyard, I read the letter to Yang Lan, and Yang Lan also had a dark face, "Is this Chen family going to be unable to get along with me?" There was no injustice in the past and no revenge in the near future, why is she biting me and not letting go? She was furious, slamming the table and yelling.

Rong Yi also wiped his sweat, "It seems that the ambition of this Chen family can't be hidden, fortunately, this time my father-in-law has opened my eyes left and right, otherwise I will be attacked by the enemy this time, and when I return to the capital, I want them to look good." He said through gritted teeth.

"Then can you still be re-elected as a county magistrate? They like the money here, right? Yang Lan reacted quickly.

Rong Yi showed an appreciative smile in her eyes, although her daughter-in-law didn't know much about court affairs, she reacted very keenly, and she was very able to talk about it.

"They are interested in the tax here, tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, and it is estimated that it will double this year, and the merchant ships have docked here, and the taxes paid are much higher than before. That's not a lot of money, huh! Rong Yi sneered, his eyes gloomy.

Yang Lan suddenly became anxious, she watched how hard Rong Yi worked, she only slept at home at night all day, and soaked in the yamen during the day, or went to the countryside to investigate, this achievement was exchanged for his hard work and hard work, why let others pick peaches.

"What can I do then? If they don't let you get re-elected, won't they pick your peaches? Why? We have worked hard to get this achievement, no, I have to write a letter to my uncle, and no one should think about forcing me to do anything. Yang Lan stood up angrily, walked to the table, and immediately wrote back to Beijing.

Rong Yi pulled her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the letter is to be written, but how to cry, you have to listen to me, the re-election is certain, but the successor must be thought of, I will definitely have to leave in three years, this is for sure, but who will take over can ensure that this prosperity continues, this is very important." ”

Yang Lan nodded while listening, wrote down Rong Yi's requirements, and turned around and wrote in the letter according to his own style, asking the emperor to choose a successor.

After Rong Yi finished explaining, he said: "You must let the emperor know that there is a lot to be done here, and attract his attention, otherwise he will not send a good official over, it is best for us to be in our own lineage, at least not from the concubine's side, otherwise my hard work over the years will be in vain." ”

"Cheng, I understand, you can look at me." Yang Lan nodded and smiled confidently.

On the second day, Yang Lan wrote a letter back to Beijing to cry, but not for her uncle, but for her mother, the letter said in detail what Rong Yi had done over the years, in addition to saying some excerpts, but also said some excerpts that were not, the situation here and the annual taxes have been made 1510 returns, and the changes in Fuchun County have been said, and also said about the opening of free schools and some measures to benefit the country and the people.

And brought some Fuchun County specialties and sent them back to the capital with a large car, and also wrote a letter of condolence to her mother-in-law and brought gifts back.

He Hui smiled after receiving the letter, and showed the letter to Yang Xu, Yang Xu also smiled, "This kid definitely can't think of this, it is designated that Rong Yi is fighting behind his back." ”

"Hahaha! You really know your daughter, what do you say you are going to do? ”

"Don't do anything, just show it to the emperor, let him also understand the actual situation, Rong Yi I still trust this kid very much, not that kind of childish person, I only know the master of making money, you just give the letter to the emperor directly." Yang Xu is not worried about the two children at all.

Even if he can't get results, he will never be caught by anyone or anything, he is not the master who is short of money, and he will not make money from below, which he is very relieved of.

The letter was handed over to the emperor as he wished, and the emperor muttered after seeing it, "This stinky girl, if I hadn't kept them, I wouldn't have known what Lu Dao had become, and she complained about me, hum!" When she came back to see how I cleaned her up, she secretly scolded me for being stubborn, hum! ”

Yang Lan secretly scolded her uncle in the letter for being an old stubborn, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, he can't tell the difference between loyalty and treachery, and the angry emperor's beard is curled.

However, there is no gap between the content of Yang Lan's letter and the facts that the emperor understands, Rong Yi's actions are in his eyes, and he is very satisfied, but the successor he said must indeed be considered well, and he can't lose the big tax collector who is good.

I had new ideas and ideas about where Rong Yi would go in three years, and Rong Yi continued to be re-elected to Fuchun County, which made the people who jumped up and down dumbfounded.

Rong Yi was successfully re-elected, taxes have always remained at a level up and down, you can't just look at yourself and ignore others, Fuchun County is indeed rich, but other counties don't have so much money, and paying too much will cause other people's jealousy.

He was not greedy for the extra money, but seized the time to engage in the construction of Fuchun County, and worked hard to build it beautifully, and this year decided to build the port again, which is bigger and more magnificent than before.

The river embankment is strengthened year after year, and trees are planted around every year, in short, it is beneficial to the people's livelihood that Rongyi does not hesitate to spend more silver, but the toss to build infrastructure, Fuchun County is getting richer and richer, and the people's life is better.

And three years is just a fleeting thing, Brother Yu is six years old, and when he was five and a half years old, he began to be taught martial arts by his own soldiers, but in half a year, the child's size has scurried, and the appearance has opened a little, darkened, but stronger, and his gestures have the bearing and elegance of a noble son.

Now that she is six years old, Yang Xu and Hou Ye have both sent letters, wanting to let the child go back to upbringing, staying in this county is too narrow, which is not conducive to the growth of the child, Yang Lan is very sad these days, and if she can't see the child, it is like digging her heart.
