During this time, Master Zhu told Yun Ji a lot of things in the officialdom, and probably deconstructed the entire upper system. Yun Ji told Li Qing about this, and Li Qing also knew a rough idea.

Shangjing is the political center of Tianqi and the gathering place of Tianqi's magnates, so you have to be very careful when you go there, and if you make a mistake, you will make a wrong step.

There is an eternal gap between the powerful and the common people, and Li Qing does not want Yunji to be harmed.

He was only ten years old, and no matter how precocious he was, he could not have the mind of an experienced person. While Li Qing gave him enough opportunities to exercise, he had to do everything to keep him safe.

This world has never been simple, and if you want to be free from others, you have to have the means. Gentleness will not solve the problem, it can only be a façade to confuse the enemy. Li Qing has a deceptive appearance, but he is living more and more powerful in this world.

In June, Su Xuning was recalled ahead of schedule, and Le Xu was replaced with a new county order, named Guangde. This person is Xie Yuan, he got an official position through a relationship, he just wants to be a petty official, and he loves to eat the most in his life.

This is what Su Xuning said to Li Qing in his book, Su Xuning was requisitioned back to Beijing by the official family in advance this time, and the stakes are needless to say. Since she has inherited such a big affection, Su Xuning also said that she will go to the capital to do everything for Yun He, and when they come in October, they will have a good response.

Li Qing readily agreed.

Su Xuning's wife has no complaints about Li Qing's dealings with Su Xuning, she is an understanding person and knows her husband's morality.

After Xiao Hong'er was injured last time, she was gradually moved by Li Qing's actions.

The kind of brute character in her body was repeatedly suppressed by Li Qing. I can't fight, I can't scold, I can't escape, I sleep on the firewood in the warehouse, and the food is also made by Guo Luozhi alone.

Li Qing has a reward and punishment system for her, break a bowl, add a hundred, break a broom, and wash a hundred bowls...... If you do well, you will reduce. Xiao Hong'er was still stupid at resisting at first, but then gradually changed and slowly became obedient. Li Qing let her be treated the same as ordinary people.

The clock shifted to August in the midst of these things.

In August, the cotton in the western suburbs began to burst one after another. At first glance, there are indeed a lot of fields in the western suburbs, at least not as far as the eye can see. This piece of the past is all cotton. This piece of land is close to 200 acres, and Li Qing bought it at the lowest price in Su Xuning's hands.

Su Xuning took advantage of his position to open the back door for Li Qing, and in the name of the support of the government, exempted Li Qing from paying taxes for two years. That is, she will only start to pay taxes and fees for this nearly 200 acres of land next year.

This land has been planted for almost two years, and Li Qing has not recovered a single profit, and it is expected that the capital will be recovered next year. She has always been doing long-term things, and even the cycle of interest recovery is very long.

In addition, she has to open up a business path for herself, which she divides into high-end and low-end.

It is relatively easy to go to the high-end and low-end in the early stage, but it is not very easy to go to the low-end in the later stage, and she is still a little eyebrow-raising in the high-end. The reason is that it is now an agricultural society where men and women weave, and many people weave their own cloth at home, and most of the materials are hemp, so many families may not accept her after they spin by themselves.

Cotton cultivation will definitely be promoted, and the people will also spin cotton, and then their own market will inevitably shrink. Li Qing felt the need to start an extended industrial chain, and she included this in her plan in her heart, waiting to see the future trend.

For now, let's take care of the present. The houses in the western suburbs have not yet been fully built, and most of the people sleep in the big sheds built before the Li Qing Dynasty, but fortunately, the walls were built when the sheds were built, otherwise the cool air at night would make people sick.

Liang Shanxian made a lot of straw and spread it on the wooden plank, and then got the futon, and he was able to sleep a lot of people at night.

In the afternoon, Li Qing gathered all the people together, and then she stood on the haystack and could see them.

"Boss, what do you want us to do when you bring us together?" The steward asked, standing under the haystack.

Li Qing had already discussed the next plan with Liangshan Xian Wenqin and the others before, so the two of them didn't have too many doubts.

This is the large drying ground for grain that Li Qing deliberately left when he chose the site for the house to build, and it is more than enough for two or three hundred people to stand. Who could have known, Li Qing didn't expect that this small deserted western suburb would be able to gather so many people? Although most of them are middle-aged, they still have a lot of strength, and there is no problem with farming.

After two years of construction in the western suburbs, chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, dogs, rabbits, pigs and sheep are all available. The fence of the house and the curling smoke are very moving.

The biggest task now is to build the rest of the houses and let the rest of the people live in them, so that they can become what a Zhuangzi should be.

"I'm gathering you here today to make some announcements."

After Li Qing finished speaking, there was a commotion from below, and the voice was as noisy as when the meeting was discussed, Li Qing naturally did not have a meeting, she just came to inform.

Seeing this, Liang Shan immediately said in a loud voice: "Quiet, listen to the owner." ”

The people below gradually quieted down, and Li Qing stood on the haystack, looking down at the people below.

She suddenly felt a feeling of village cadres in the seventies and eighties, "In October, I will leave Jinzhou, during this period the cotton harvested in the field will be taught to deal with you, cotton is priced by catties, and I will post the price at that time. ”

Li Qing paused for a moment, and then said: "I am not in this period of time to have any disputes, my Xishuizhuang is a civilized grange, no private brawls are allowed, what is there to solve on the surface, listen to everyone's opinions, what trivial things, can tolerate you, I only hope that you can unite and live in harmony, I have a complete set of rewards and punishments here, I must be clear about my Li Qing's character, I have never treated you badly, no matter when, therefore, I have borne your love, I thank you for that. ”

"Dare to ask why Mrs. Li left?" An old man in the crowd who was sad for half a hundred asked.

Li Qing smiled and said: "My son was recommended by Su Xuning, the former county commander, to go to Beijing to meet the prodigy assessment, which is why I left." When Li Qing said this, he was proud in his heart. What about her son!

"Wow!" Some children cast envious eyes at Li Qing, imagining that they would also go to school and study, become a talented man, gain fame, and glorify their ancestors.

Li Qing noticed the following actions.

Maybe we should open a private school here. But who wants to teach here these days?
