"It's easy to do, it's just to set a fire and drive the oxen to farm." Although Duguxing didn't know why Yu Guozhen wanted to open so many fields, the more and more, the more it meant that his income would be higher.

"Okay, I'll also let people come to reclaim, Dugu must hurry." Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

"You can do it today...... Brothers, listen up, Yu Gongzi promised a reward, opening one mu is three taels of silver, the official doesn't want a penny, these three taels of silver brothers are really divided, we can open a hundred acres a day, then each person is two taels of silver! ”

Hearing this low-level officer say this, Yu Guozhen was slightly stunned, now he has come into contact with the leaders of all parties, few of them have been dealt with once, and this officer has not even filled his own pockets?

"There are still nearly 200 people in our battalion, and the lower officials will go and recruit them as well, and hire dozens of cattle...... Yu Gongzi, the lower official retired first. ”

Yu Guozhen was even more surprised, and called him over: "Don't worry...... I haven't talked about Dugu's total hard-earned money. ”

"Haha, Yu Gongzi will watch it." Dugu Xingdao.

Yu Guozhen nodded: "Since Dugu is always so refreshing, I will never treat you and the garrison ...... badly."

Duguxing was secretly happy in his heart, he looked happy, but in fact, he also played Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, Yu Guozhen was so generous, so he was not worried that Yu Guozhen would not give him a reward, plus although he was generous in his mouth, in fact, these guards and soldiers, if they want to come out to work, they have to ask their bosses for leave, and ask for leave verbally, where is it better to give some gifts and be down-to-earth!

"But there's one thing...... I also asked Mr. Yu to find out, that Mr. Jiang actually just wanted to come to fight the autumn breeze, and Gongzi sent some of them at will, so as not to cause any more extraneous branches. Feeling that it could have some effect on Yu Guozhen, Duguxing persuaded him with a smile, and then arched his hand and said: "If the son has no other instructions, the next official will go." ”

He is not only persuading, but also reminding, that Master Jiang will definitely not give up, he did not succeed this time, he may have to write to the General Military Officer of Guangzhou Prefecture when he goes back, and it will not be more than 20 regular troops and dozens of people who will come at that time.

Therefore, Yu Guozhen should be active now, let his backstage exert influence on the Qinzhou Mansion, of course, the best way is to package a few hundred taels or thousands of taels of silver to calm the people.

"I will never let this dog thief go!"

As Duguxing expected, when Jiang Zhongliu returned to Qinzhou, he always felt that those fast catchers and people looked at him strangely, and there was no respect in his heart, and he had a great hatred in his heart, and even the porcelain produced in Zhangzhou was broken several times for him.

Before he could figure out how to retaliate, he heard an errand officer urging him: "The eldest lord, please go and see him." ”

Seeing Yuan Guoheng, Jiang Zhongliu still had a look of hatred and hatred, he had already figured out in his heart, he must add oil and vinegar in front of Yuan Guoheng, and tell all kinds of arrogance of Yu Guozhen, which provoked Yuan Guoheng to send an official document to the Guangdong Political Division.

But before he could speak, Yuan Guoheng reproached: "Tozhi, have you gone to that Yu Gongzi's village today?" ”

"How did Dong Weng know?" Jiang Zhongliu was taken aback: "The surname Yu is really ......"

"Don't make any more trouble, the state judge has already come to me and said this." Yuan Guoheng took a few breaths: "That Yu Gongzi is quite famous in Nanzhili, don't mess with him, this is a very moment." ”

"My lord, there is no king's law ...... that bastard"

"Don't say any more...... Nowadays, it is not surprising that there is no king law in the eyes of the gentry, and it is a miracle that there is a king law in his eyes. Yuan Guoheng sighed, and then took out another official document: "Fang Caizhou sent it, the imperial court has approved my resignation, and the new governor of Zhou...... It's coming soon. ”

"What?"

Although Jiang Zhongliu had been mentally prepared for this matter, but it came so suddenly, it still surprised him, if this is the case, no wonder Yuan Guoheng blamed him for making trouble, what he had to do at this time was to clarify all the accounts and prepare to hand them over, instead of fighting with the local gentry!

"But, but ......" Jiang Zhongliu had hoped that his replacement would come sooner so that he could also leave the hot and humid Qinzhou, but now, he was a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I have already written a letter of recommendation, and after the handover is completed, you can take the letter to the new Lord Zhizhou...... This face, he should give it to me, if you are willing to continue to enter the scene, you will stay in Qinzhou, if you don't want to, you can return to your hometown. ”

"Thank you so much." Hearing this, Jiang Zhongliu was overjoyed: "The grace of Dong Weng is unforgettable for students." ”

"You have to worry a lot about the handover."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Guoheng waved his hand, Jiang Zhongliu retreated, with this letter of recommendation, he has a chance to turn over, the new Zhizhou is blind to the situation in Qinzhou, presumably it will also contain a curtain guest who knows more about the situation in Qinzhou, in this way, he takes the opportunity of not knowing the truth, instigating two more sentences, and will definitely make the surname Yu inverted.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongliu became happy and put down his hatred for Yu Guozhen for the time being.

The newcomer to Zhizhou is a native of Sichuan, and on the third day after receiving the notice, the people have already arrived by boat along the Qinjiang River, and there are quite a few people accompanying them, more than 100 people. Yuan Guoheng was uneasy, and he barely dragged his body to complete the handover, and left Qinzhou almost overnight.

Jiang Zhongliu took Yuan Guoheng's letter of introduction to visit the new Zhizhou, he was used to being a Qing guest, he would observe words and looks, and after a few words, he was really happy, and immediately said that he would hire him as a staff member.

"Adults are so fancy, how can students not know how to lift, and are willing to work for adults and solve cases." Jiang Zhongliu is also full of joy and authenticity.

"When this official first came to Qinzhou, there must be a lot of help, by the way, Mr. Jiang, what strange people are in this Qinzhou Mansion?"

"Qinzhou is a frontier land, Han is mixed, there are no strange people, but ......" Speaking of this, Jiang Zhongliu groaned slightly, this is an opportunity, he paid attention to the expression of Xinzhizhou, and then smiled without saying a word.

"Oh? What kind of character, Mr. Jiang can only say that this official is in need of eyes and ears when he first comes to this scene. ”

"It is true that the strange man has never heard of it, but there is a man who is arrogant and lawless, and treats the government as if it were nothing, and harbors fugitives, and even the soldiers in the yamen went to arrest him, and he was also driven back, and he also stripped the officers of their clothes, and could not bear to speak of all kinds of humiliations."

When Jiang Zhongliu said this, he had been paying attention to Xinzhizhou's expression, Xinzhizhou was still smiling at first, and then gradually his face became solemn, and at the end of listening, he slapped the table: "What a big courage, there are still such people!" The predecessor Yuan Zhizhou, the official remembered that he had a very official reputation when he was in Fujian, how could he condone such murderers? ”

"It's really no wonder that Yuan Zhizhou, he is frail and sickly, and he has no energy to see things, and there are one or two hundred extremely vicious family members in that house, it is said that they are all Jiangyang thieves who kill people without blinking, local officers and soldiers, where is his opponent."

"What about the state judgment, he is not sick, why don't you ignore this matter?"

"The state judges...... Haha, it is said to be good friends with this person. Jiang Zhongliu put a tripwire on the state judge Guo Weiqi: "Your Excellency is angry, although this person has no king's law and encroaches on fertile land, but he has the care of the state judge, it seems that it is appropriate to save some face for the state judge, after all, he has been operating in Qinzhou for a long time......"

He is used to being a staff member, so he naturally knows how to provoke the governor of a state, and what can make this governor angry the most is that he is not the only power center in the state city, but someone else shares power with him. The more he emphasized that the state judgment was strong, the less likely it was for the state to back down, otherwise how would he manage the affairs of a state in the future?

"Hmph, how can this official be the person who protects each other!" Xin Zhizhou sneered: "The new official has three fires when he takes office, and this official has to burn one too." Who is the name of the guy you are talking about, and where does he live? ”

"This person's surname is Yu, his name is Guozhen, he lives only twenty miles southwest of the city, he invaded the fields, and built a village by himself, called Xinxiang Village."

"Yu Guozhen?" Xinzhizhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhongliu.

Jiang Zhongliu felt a pang in his heart: "Could it be ...... Have adults heard of this name before? ”

"Haha......"

Lord Zhizhou laughed twice: "Since there are such characters, this official should see it...... Mr. Jiang, please accompany this officer. ”

Jiang Zhongliu knew that something was wrong, but he always had a fluke mentality, that Yu Guozhen was arrogant and unscrupulous, and he was afraid that Zhizhou would be equally arrogant and rude, and he would completely offend Zhizhou. Therefore, he smiled dryly: "When the adults have not been able to do so, they have to visit the people in person, which is really a model for officials...... However, Yu Guozhen is always arrogant, if he doesn't bring more people, I'm afraid that he will be disrespectful to adults. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you lead the way for this official, but this official doesn't believe that someone in Qinzhou Mansion will be so arrogant." Shinchishu Road.

These two Jiangzhongliu dealt with Xinzhizhou, and felt that this person was quite kind and easy, so although he had some doubts in his heart, he was not too worried. Although Zhizhou said not to bring too many people, it was just to say, he still brought dozens of followers with him.

From Qinzhou Mansion to Xinxiang, the land route is only more than 20 miles, and the waterway is farther, but the waterway is labor-saving, so they are by boat. When the boat entered the Yuhong River and passed by Changdun Island, they already saw a tall red tower.

It was a brick tower built on the top of the mountain ordered by Yu Guozhen, and the red bricks and cement used were all produced by the kiln, because the tower was standing on a mountain, so it was relatively high. The brick tower largely served as a lighthouse for ships to navigate at night.

Under the hill where the brick tower is located, is the new Xiangzhai, the wooden wall is uniformly brushed with cement, the appearance looks gray, but it gives people a solid and reliable feeling. Nowadays, the kiln can produce more than 5,000 catties of cement on average, and its output is enough to use.

"What is this dock made of?" Zhizhou saw something strange at a glance: "There is still that way...... It's like a stone, but it's a little different! ”

"This thing is called cement, and it is said that Yu Guozhen opened the mountain to refine stones." River channel.
