Chapter 1004: Negotiation and Settlement
When Nie Rong and his father heard Nie Rong say this, he was also stunned, and couldn't help choking up, and then said with a look of surprise:
"What! No one is allowed to build houses on either side of the river, which means that if we are going to build houses here, it is not allowed either! ”
Nie Rong also took over and said:
"Yes, this place borders other countries, and it is said that since I don't know when, the local county government has also issued a rule that no one is allowed to build a house here, and for many years, no one has dared to build a house here, so we have come all the way, and we have not found any reason for anyone on both sides of the river."
Nie Rong's father also suddenly looked embarrassed, and said:
"What then! We had fled from Kyoto Castle, and we had all gone to the mountains to cut timber, waiting for the craftsmen who had come to build the houses for us! Now, knowing that no one is allowed to build a house here, we have to find a new land! ”
Qin Meiniang, who was standing on the side, also immediately interjected:
"Uncle, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the local county office tomorrow to ask about the situation! If we can get the consent and permission of the county magistrates here, then it will not be difficult for us to build a house here! ”
Nie Rong also nodded and said:
"Yes, Dad, now we want to build a house here, there is only one way, if we can get the consent and permission of the county lord of the local county office, then we can build a house here with confidence and boldness, and no one dares to stop us."
Nie Rong's father also choked up, then pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"You're right! If the magistrate of the local county government can agree to us building a house here, then there will be no problem, and we will invite the master craftsmen who built the house as soon as possible to build the house for us. ”
Qin Meiniang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously:
"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the county government to talk to the county lords, and by the way, give some gifts or something, this rule is dead, people are alive, I think, we can have a chance to convince the local county lords."
Nie Rong also said:
"Yes, this place is so far away from Kyoto City, and the Emperor of the Mountain is far away, this local county lord will definitely not be afraid of the rules of the imperial court, if he can relax, then we can build a house here and live here in peace in the future."
Nie Rong's father also stepped aside, then sat down, and said:
"This matter is so decided, tomorrow morning I will personally go to visit the county lord of this county office, plead with him, seek his consent, and give us a net so that we can build a house here."
Nie Rong also said seriously to his father:
"Dad, you go to the back mountain early tomorrow morning and carry the felled wood down the mountain with your subordinates, and you can leave it to me to go to the county government to intercede with the county lord! Don't worry, I'll take care of this, if I can't handle it, you'll go later. ”
Qin Meiniang also echoed:
"Yes, uncle, you can leave this matter to Nie Rong, I will also accompany him to the county government in the city, go to the county lord, and try to persuade the county lord, let him give us a favor, agree to us to build a house here, you and your subordinates go to the back mountain with peace of mind, and carry down the felled wood, when the time comes, once the county lord agrees to our request to build a house here, then you also move down the wood, then we will invite the craftsman who built the house by the way, when the time comes, We can build the house as soon as possible, and we won't have to wait a long time. ”
After Nie Rong and Qin Meiniang's words were heard, Nie Rong and his father couldn't help but be stunned and asked:
"You two go to the county lord, is it easy to find something?"
Qin Meiniang also immediately replied:
"Uncle, you can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me and Nie Rong, the two of us promise to complete it, and we will try to persuade the county lord to ask him to give us extra kindness and agree to us to build a house here."
Nie Rong, who was sitting on the side, also took over and said:
"Sir! I think you can hand this matter to Rong'er and Xiaomei to find the county lord of the county government, this plea is nothing more than a matter of giving gifts and giving benefits, as long as we give enough benefits to the county lord, I believe he will not disagree with us to build a house here, although this is the border, but now our Jinfeng Kingdom has long been peaceful in the world, even the Great Britain Kingdom has been defeated by our Jinfeng Kingdom, now, which surrounding country still dares to fight with our Jinfeng Kingdom! Therefore, our Jinfeng Kingdom will only become stronger and stronger in the future, and there will be no war in the short term, so it is not a big deal for us to build a house here, and I believe that the adults of this county will definitely agree to us building a house here. ”
Qin Meiniang also continued:
"What the eldest lady said is reasonable, we must be able to build a house here."
Nie Rong and his father were stunned, but he also nodded, and said seriously:
"It's okay, then this matter will be tomorrow by Rong'er and Xiaomei to go to the county lord of the county government, after you meet the county lord, you must plead with the person well, don't make a mistake and offend the county lord, if he has any request, you can agree to come down first, and then, we will find a way to deal with and solve it together, as long as the county lord is willing to agree to us to build a house here, everything is easy to discuss."
Nie Rong also replied:
"Yes, Dad, Xiaomei and I must do what you say, don't worry, we are not children, this little thing must be done."
Qin Meiniang also smiled slightly and said:
"Yes! Uncle, please rest assured, Nie Rong and I will definitely handle this matter well, and we will never let you down. ”
Nie Rong's father also let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly:
"Well, I believe you in this matter, you can do it, then tomorrow morning I will take someone to the mountain, carry the timber we cut down today, and then, waiting for your good news, I hope we can start building houses here as soon as possible, after all, we are such a group, we can't sleep in the wild like this every day!"
Qin Meiniang and his mother also brought it from the side, earlier today, Nie Rong went to the county town to buy the steamed buns and buns, and then also said to everyone:
"Come on, come on, all of you come and eat all this pasta, you've all worked hard today."
Seeing this, Qin Meiniang also stepped forward quickly, and also took the wrapped steamed buns and buns from Nie Rong's mother's hands, and slowly opened them, and then distributed some steamed buns or buns to everyone standing beside her.
After the distribution, everyone has a share of steamed buns or buns.
After everything was divided, Nie Rong and his father also glanced at the carriage carport where Wang Cheng was imprisoned, and then, he also broke half of the steamed bun he was holding in his hand, and walked quickly to the carriage carport where Wang Cheng was imprisoned.
Outside the carport of the carriage where Wang Cheng was imprisoned, Nie Rong and his father also stretched out his hand to open the curtain in front of the carriage carport, and saw that Wang Cheng was also sitting in the carriage carport, so he immediately handed Wang Cheng the half of the steamed bun that he had broken off in his hand, and then said:
"Wang Cheng, eat quickly, you must be hungry."
As soon as Wang Cheng saw that Nie Rong and his father had brought half a piece of steamed bread to the carport where he reached out and handed it into the carriage, he couldn't help but suddenly light up, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then leaned forward slightly, and slowly reached out and took the half of the steamed bun from Nie Rong's father's hand.
After taking half of the steamed bun, Wang Cheng quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and he was also very hungry for a while, and soon ate half of the steamed bun in his hand.
Seeing this, Nie Rong's father simply handed the remaining half of the steamed bun in his hand to Wang Cheng, and said:
"This is also for you, take it and eat it."
Wang Cheng was also moved and excited, Wang Cheng Nie Rong and his father said:
"Okay, thank you, thank you!"
Immediately, Wang Cheng also took the initiative to grab the other half of the steamed bun from Nie Rong's father's hand, and then ate it quickly.
Nie Rong and his father saw that Wang Cheng was also extremely embarrassed, so he slowly lowered the curtain in front of the carriage's carport, and walked to the side.
Because the sky was about to get dark, several martial arts hall disciples also quickly went to the woods on the side to pick up some dry firewood.
Soon they also made a fire on the flat ground.
It was originally getting dark everywhere, but now there is a fire, so it is not so dark.
All the people sat around the fires that had been lit and ate a little pasta, for they were very tired during the day.
Some of the martial arts hall disciples were also lying on the ground, and they fell asleep at some point.
The night in the mountains is also very quiet, because there is a fire in the mountains, and the beasts in the mountains are afraid to approach easily, so the surroundings gradually become quieter.
The night will always pass, and the dawn will always come as scheduled.
The dawn of the second day came as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Nie Rong and his father also got up early, and he was also going to take people to the mountain to carry down all the timber that had been cut down yesterday.
Because, Wang Cheng almost escaped yesterday, so today, for the sake of safety, Nie Rong's father also specially arranged for two disciples of the martial arts hall to stay here, just to prevent Wang Cheng from escaping again.
Nie Rong and Qin Meiniang also immediately prepared to go to the county seat in front of them together, and went to the county government to find the county lord.
Nie Rong's mother also stepped forward and took out a bag of silver taels for Nie Rong, and said:
"You take these silver taels, buy some gifts for the county lord, and the rest of the silver will be given to the county lord, as long as he agrees to us to build a house here, as long as we can agree to the conditions, we will try our best to meet him, you two can meet the county lord to negotiate and intercede with him, don't offend the county lord, otherwise, we want to build a house here is not easy to do."
