The two words of the county government completely shocked Yu Shouyi's family and Xie Wenhao's father and son, they had already heard that the county magistrate treated Yu Jiayan like his own nephew, unless they were tired of being crooked, otherwise who would dare to make trouble with the county government?

A group of people who are consumed by greed have finally calmed down completely, and when reason defeats greed, their first reaction is to be afraid.

In Zhou Lizheng's eyes full of ridicule and indifference, Xie Wenhao led his second son out of Wulitun, but Yu Shouyi's family didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Zhou Lizheng would really drive them out of the village in anger.

You must know that all the foundations of their family are all in Wulitun, if Leng Buding is expelled from the village by Li Zheng and the village elders, then they are really not far from freezing to starvation.

Zhou Li was still quite satisfied with their quail appearance, he turned his gaze to hear the movement and deliberately ran out of his house to see the excitement, at this time he was gloating at Feng Shi sneering at Zhao, "What I just said is also applicable to your family, if anyone doesn't want to continue to stay in Wulitun, my old Zhou will definitely not stumble at all, and immediately fulfill her!" ”

Zhao's face slammed, and he left angrily with a handkerchief.

She didn't think about taking advantage of Yu Jiayan, after all, Yu Jiayan almost died in her hands, and after experiencing those things before, the Zhao family had already died of the heart of rebuilding the relationship with Yu Jiayan.

It's just that she is not willing to let Yu Jiayan enjoy wealth and prosperity like this, so she actually plans to go to the county one day to find someone to spread the rumors that Yu Jiayan is wolf-hearted and doesn't understand the Grace Map.

Now that Zhou Lizheng is threatened like this, the Zhao family does not dare to commit crimes against the wind no matter how bold they are—like Yu Shouyi's family, the Zhao family is also afraid that they will be driven out of Wulitun.

You must know that Wulitun is now the richest village in the vicinity, because the Ming family has always taken care of their neighbors, so the villagers of Wulitun are now different from the past.

Although the two houses of the Yu family did not invite the Ming family and Yu Jiayan to see each other, these two families did not specifically target their two families, so whether it was planting high-yield sweet potatoes, artichokes, and jade wheat before, or this year's drought in the field, everyone used the Ming family's pond to water the ground, and Yu Shouyi and Yu Shouli's family actually took advantage of the Ming family.

Although the Zhao family always spoke ill of the Ming family and Yu Jiayan's little couple, she actually knew very well in her heart that she, her husband, and children were all living under the protection of the Ming family and Yu Jiayan's little couple.

This is also why as soon as Zhou Li Zhengyi threatened her to drive the troublesome villagers out of the village, the Zhao family immediately died down.

Besides, Zhou Lizheng, after shocking the two families that were most likely to have problems, he went to other homes in the village separately with the village elders.

It wasn't until all the people in the village were beaten lightly or heavily that Zhou Lizheng used the good noodles that the Ming family got from the Jufu Restaurant in the town, and helped the old man Ming entertain several village elders with good wine and food.

In addition, the old man Ming also asked the subordinates of the family to prepare two pastries, two muslin cloths, a pot of tea, and a jar of good wine for Li Zheng and each village elder as a thank you gift.

Of course, Zhou Lizheng, who contributed the most, asked Mr. Ming to give another generous gift in private.

"Look, look." After the Ming family's subordinates left, Zhou Lizheng pointed to the gift box with a proud face, letting his daughter-in-law see the thank you gift sent by the old man Ming in private.

The thank-you gift is two Hangzhou silks, a set of four treasures of the study and a small box of official swallows, which are worth at least fifty taels of silver when added together.

Mrs. Lizheng only glanced at it, and the eyes fell into the box and could not be pulled out again.

It took her long while she shuddered and locked the box into the kang cabinet where the money was kept—just kidding, she didn't dare to put such a precious thing on the kang for people to look at indiscriminately.

Let's talk about the Ming family who just won the reward.

When receiving the holy decree, the Ming family led by the old man Ming, their surprise, surprise, excitement, and gratitude, and Yu Jiayan's complicated mood when he received the holy decree were exactly the same, but after being happy, the old man Ming sent a message, saying that it was to make everyone in the family more cautious in their words and deeds, and they must not live up to the emperor's grace, nor should they embarrass the magistrate.

The Ming family was originally a decent family with a clean family style and kindness to others, otherwise they would not have given up half of their family wealth to help the victims.

Even if the old man doesn't say it, the adults and children in the family will never do anything wrong.

Now with the special mention of Old Man Ming, the people of the Ming family suddenly became more humble and cautious.

Everyone offered Ming Huang's holy decree in the hall that entered the courtyard at the end, and the old man Ming even asked Mrs. Ming to take her three daughters-in-law every day to change the burden wrapped in the holy decree.

Although Mingyue felt that Old Man Ming was making a fuss, at the same time, she also understood very well the worship and awe of people in this era for imperial power.

In her opinion, ordinary people like Old Man Ming do not so much regard the emperor as a monarch, but rather regard the emperor as a god.

Their heartfelt reverence for the royal family is a little more pious than when many people in later generations worshipped God.

In order not to make herself look a little out of place, Mingyue was very knowledgeable and learned from the Ming family to offer the holy decree.

Of course, she would never change the burden of the Holy Decree once a day.

At most, she asks someone to change it every three or five days.

However, she would never say this in front of the Ming family - she was afraid that she would be criticized by all the relatives in the family.

In addition to the Ming family and the Yu family, there are also Wu families, Jiang families, and Qi Lao Dafu families in Fuxing County who have been rewarded with official positions or orders.

The official position of the Wu family's loose official is from the seventh rank, and the person who gets the official is Master Wu, who has given up continuing the imperial examination.

Master Wu was originally a lifter, according to the Shangguan of Gu Zhi County, if it wasn't for a while and a half, he really couldn't find a real shortage that suited him, he was afraid that he would be able to directly get a small official such as a county officer, a discipliner, and a master bookkeeper.

Although the county minister, the instructor, and the main book are only eight grades, eight grades, and nine grades respectively, which are really small sesame officials, but the officials with authority and the officials without authority are definitely two completely different things.

As for the Jiang family and the Qi family, the Jiang family is the second uncle of the young master Jiang and has obtained an eight-rank loose official position, and the Qi family is the eldest son of the old doctor Qi who has obtained an eight-rank loose official position.

Then there are the female dependents of their respective families, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Qi all got a life of the same rank as their husbands.

In addition to the above-mentioned families, there is no one in Fuxing County who has received official positions or rewards such as edicts.

Although this is definitely because they have contributed less, there are still many people who are jealous of the above families who have "taken shit luck".

If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor had strictly followed the merits of each family, and had not been biased at all to give them gold, silver, pearls and jade, or silk and satin silk, or palace flower butter powder, the remaining squires and wealthy families would have to organize themselves and squeeze out these families who have won official positions.
