Half a month ago, Liao County.

"My lord, is this really good?"

The master looked at his own county magistrate who was writing a letter like a dragon and a snake, and his eyes could not hide his worry.

"What's so bad? 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, people donated, we naturally want to give something back, things can't be given, we have to repay people a good reputation, no one donates for no reason. ”

The county commander Zhang Chundai guarded, and the brush in his hand still did not stop, and its speed did not seem to be like a person rewarding donations, but as if it was a race against time.

The master frowned and looked at the so-called good reputation letters that had accumulated on the corner of the table.

These are to be sent to the county orders and officials that Zhang Chundai is familiar with, and each letter is written by Zhang Chundai himself, and Zhang Chundai has been writing for a whole day for this.

"My lord, you don't have to do it yourself, besides...... There's no guarantee that these things will be given away! Let that person know when the time comes, you are the one who suffers! ”

"Anyway, sooner or later, you will die, it is better to die than to die and be tortured here for a few more years, what is the point of living like those old oilmen who are obscure?" Zhang Chundai turned his head to look at his master, "Do you think the living dead are better than the dead?" ”

Saying that, Zhang Chundai pointed to the letter in front of him, and said to the master, "Let people bring a wave when they go out of the city, and then use pigeons to bring out a wave, in short, this matter must be spread out slowly, so that no one dares to move the 100,000 taels of silver." ”

The master picked up the stack of letters and looked at the contents on it.

In fact, it is very simple, just three sentences, indicating that Su Qiange donated 100,000 taels to the north, and hoped that all places would announce the people so as not to chill well-wishers, and by the way, express his gratitude.

"My lord, are we going to think of that one too simply? He's not a fool, and even if the news gets out, he wants to touch the money...... We can't help it. ”

When the master said this, there was a deep helplessness in his eyes.

Zhang Chundai paused when he heard the movement of his hand, and looked up at the desolate green courtyard that was struggling to bloom in the distance, as well as the gray-blue stone slabs, as if he was looking at the distant and empty future.

"Then it's up to fate, I hope that the Lord Goshi who was sent down can have divine help."

After speaking, Zhang Chundai lowered his head and continued to write the overly repetitive letter, as if he wanted to convey the thousands of thoughts in his heart through these repetitive bureaus.

In the courtyard, the north wind swept the sand and stones, and the call rolled over, as if it was about to uproot the vigorous pine trees.

The reason why the north is not within the scope of Kyushu and is collectively called the north is because of the brutality and danger of the north.

In fact, in the earliest north, in the big cloud is called the northern plain, the land is fertile, the woods are dense, the vegetation in the mountains is full of wild animals, flowers and birds, all of them are complete, and the only thing that may be lacking is people.

In the beginning, the north was uninhabited, because there were too many wild beasts, and it was difficult for people to survive in the mountains.

Probably because of this, Dayun will exile people who have committed serious crimes but do not deserve death to the north and open up the wasteland.

Originally, it was a moral of punishment, but there were more people who could be exiled, and the advantages of the northern land appeared, the black soil area was very suitable for farming, and the loess area was slightly worse and the environment was a little inferior, but it also supported the operation of the entire north.

The success of the northern reclamation attracted the attention of the Great Cloud Kingdom, so it began to divide the counties and set up lookouts in the north, taking over the original north.

At the beginning, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the exiled people in the north, and some people rose up to rebel, but they were suppressed by a large amount of force issued by the imperial court.

The people who lead these forces are all former officials, they have experience, connections, and skills, and the new county commanders can't compete with them if they want to rely on that little bit of "imperial order".

Many of the new county commanders who came to the north were not strong in their willpower and were not controlled by them for a long time.

Determined, will commit suicide or die unexpectedly at home.

These people are firmly implementing - those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and among these people, the most powerful is the emperor of the soil that Zhang Chundai and the master dare not mention.

The dove carrying the letter flew into the sky, and the life that flew high with its wings was like the only hope of escaping the north, and they traveled together, but when they were about to fly away from the border, they were attacked by a goshawk.

The eagle was so sharp and ferocious that it shattered the whole team of pigeons by its own strength, seized the weak throat of its middle foot and took it in its mouth, and turned and flew away without a fight.

The pigeons panicked for a while, but continued to fly according to the original route.

The goshawk flew a short distance with the wounded pigeon in its mouth, skimming over many homes, and flew towards the foot of the mountain, until a huge mountain village appeared at the foot of the mountain in front of it, and the goshawk swooped down.

The goshawk's flight did not arouse the fear of the people in the courtyard, they seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and even had a little flattering smile at the goshawk's flight.

Its route is more precise than that of a pigeon, to be precise, it doesn't have a route, it just knows who it is trying to find.

Skirting the courtyard to the gazebo next to the school grounds, two men sat in it.

One of the middle-aged men with slender eyebrows had already noticed it, turned his head to look at the goshawk, raised his arm, and let the sharp claws of the afterimage fall on his cowhide bound arm.

The goshawk lowered its head from the pigeon in its mouth, loosened its mouth, and placed it in the hands of the guard who came to the side and stretched out his hand.

When the guard dismantled the envelope on the tall leg, the middle-aged man reached out and took some fresh rabbit meat from his hand and handed it to the goshawk to eat, and touched it on the goshawk's head.

Seeing this, the thin man on the opposite side immediately clapped his hands and praised, "My lord, this eagle is really a god, even you know that you are here, and you understand your thoughts!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "This eagle has followed me since I was a child, so it naturally understands what I mean." ”

When the words landed, the guard on the side spoke, "My lord, the letter said that the county order of Liao County recently received a large amount of disaster relief silver, which is enough for 100,000 taels of snowflake silver. ”

"One hundred thousand taels?" The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, as if he was questioning and happy, "The number is quite auspicious, who gave it?" ”

"It's a woman named Su Qiange." The guard re-glances at the contents of the letter, and then replies.

"What for?" The middle-aged man asked.

"According to the information we have so far, it should be a restaurant, she has a restaurant called Shuiyunjian, and she was planning to open it in Liao County during that time, but she thought that the drought had stopped."

"Then it seems that she is still a good person, even if she can't do her business, she will help us get out of the drought in the north."

The middle-aged man fed the goshawk, raised his hand to release the goshawk, took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant and wiped his hands.

"It's not really, this Su Qiange seems to have something to do with the imperial history sent by the emperor."

"Xue Chen?" The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the guards on the side, with a hint of imperceptible in his eyes

The guard nodded.

The middle-aged man sneered when he heard this, "He is worthy of being Xue Dingshan's son." ”

Seeing this, the thin bamboo pole leaned forward with a smile and asked the middle-aged man, "Then my lord, ...... this silver?" ”

"There's nothing in the north that hasn't passed through my hands."

The middle-aged man chuckled, "But before you take it, you have to help Zhang Chundai spread it, otherwise you will let him down and write so many things." ”

With his encouragement, deliberately, Su Qiange's donation of 100,000 taels for the northern region quickly spread, and for a while, Su Qiange's reputation was outside, and even the business with Shui Yun was also affected, and it was even more prosperous than before.

When the account office and the chief shopkeeper of each state reported this to Su Qiange, Su Qiange was helping the cooking school in Qingcheng.

Seeing that it is almost June, a new batch of chefs has reached the finishing stage.

Originally, it would have been good to hand it over to other chefs, but Su Qiange rarely went home and went into battle in person.

But after hearing the news, the big spoon on Su Qian's singer couldn't move, and the bookkeeper said to Su Qiange with a smile.

"Boss, you've really done a great job this time!"

The bookkeeper was so excited that it was hard to hold on.

Although when I first knew that Su Qiange had donated, the account office was still a little worried, thinking that Su Qiange was extravagant, but now it seems that it was a correct decision!

"According to the current upward trend of the turnover of each restaurant, the 100,000 taels will come back soon, and because of the donation to the north, we can not pay taxes all year round this year, and we will gain fame and fortune!"

The account room played with this abacus and showed Su Qiange the turnover during this time.

"Now other businesses want to follow our example, and they are also donating to the north, but the first wave of dividends must be firmly seated."

slapped his thigh, and the account room had the idea of giving Su Qiange a thumbs up.

But Su Qiange's expression was not very good-looking, she looked at the account book in front of her calmly, and her heart was turned upside down, this was not what she wanted.

She remembers that when she made a donation, she was clearly reminded to keep a low profile.

Although donating money for the drought in the north is an honorable thing in itself, it is definitely not the case when it reaches the ears of the emperor.

Originally, the emperor was angry with the emperor because Xue Chen was concerned about Su Qiange and did not want to marry Princess Ping'an, so he was exiled to the north.

Now that Su Qiange's donation of 100,000 taels of snowflake silver has been spread, what does it look like?

What will the emperor think?

The emperor would definitely think that Su Qiange was provoking, Su Qiange frowned and stared at the table in front of him, thinking about what he should do next.

The account room looked at Su Qiange's face and was very puzzled.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Su Qiange looked up at the account room and Xiaoqing on the side, "I may have some things to hand over to you, because in the short term, I may have to let go of the affairs between the clouds and water." ”

Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this, although she is now the person who manages the position in Shuiyunjian, but many times, some problems still need to be solved by Su Qiange himself.

Moreover, even if Su Qiange went to the capital before, he never said anything about not managing the water and clouds.

Su Qiange's current behavior undoubtedly shrouded everyone's hearts with a layer of fog, obviously he had done a good thing, why did he suddenly disappear as if he had done something bad?

Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to ask Su Qiange what happened.

After it was over, Xiaoqing stayed alone and walked to Su Qiange's side, approached Su Qiange, and found that she had a little tiredness in her eyes.

"Sister Su, now that everyone is gone, can you tell me what happened?"

Hearing this, Su Qiange turned his head to look at Xiaoqing, and at that moment, Xiaoqing felt that he had seen a lot of things from Su Qiange's eyes, but he was immediately hidden by Su Qiange.

Su Qiange smiled and patted Xiaoqing's shoulder, "I will rely on you in the time I am away." ”
