In fact, for Yi'er, although Liu Shang is sleek, his nature is not bad, he has been an official for many years, although he has not received any opportunities for promotion, but he still has the ability, plus the concave village, he can be regarded as doing his best and contributing. So for her, she doesn't mind taking him by the hand, and if this person can really get through in the future, she can't say it, and it can be beneficial to her in turn.

Liu Shang is full of joy, the spring breeze on his face is proud, the joy from the heart can not be hidden, he almost didn't laugh at an old face, before leaving, he once again respectfully invited Yi'er to go to his county office for a few days, Yi'er didn't respond, and directly pushed it, Liu Shang also wanted to keep his wife Jia to wait for Yi'er, Yi'er also refused, this Jia Shi knows how to advance and retreat, and also knows how to measure, but there are enough people around Yi'er, how can this Jia Shi say that she is also a serious county lady, not to mention let Yi'er really call her, Instead, I had to spare my energy to deal with her.

Liu Shang and the others left, and instead of quieting down, the courtyard of the Gao family was shaking, and it was surrounded by water. The tenant farmers in Xiawa Village knew Yi'er's identity, and they all gathered and waited outside the courtyard, wanting to kowtow to Yi'er and say hello.

The low-walled courtyard of the Gao family was not small, but there were hundreds of tenant farmers up and down in Xiakou Village, and there were generally at least two or three people in a family. And these tenant farmers are all rural people, where do they usually know what serious rules and etiquette, there are many people, and they can't be restrained, so Feng Lang discussed with the door panel, and stopped people at the gate of the courtyard, and none of them were allowed to be put inside, all of them were blocked outside the courtyard.

Yi'er also had a headache when she heard what was happening outside the courtyard, knowing that if she didn't go to meet these villagers, she was afraid that these hundreds of people would not want to leave, so after thinking about it, she could only decide to go out and show her face.

When the news came out, the tenant farmers were excited, but they also suffered from Feng Lang and the door panel, they maintained the order, let people retreat, vacated a vacant space in the center of the courtyard gate, and moved four square tables over, set up a simple high platform, so that people pulled a three-finger thick hemp rope, with the low wall at the courtyard gate as the side, surrounded a semicircle, separated people outside the hemp rope, Feng Lang jumped on the high platform, raised his breath and swallowed his voice, first made a sound to suppress the field, and repeatedly warned everyone not to cross the boundary rope, after getting a response, I asked the door panel to go to the house and invite Yi'er.

In fact, Yi'er has been living in the Gao family for several days, at the beginning of the Gao family feast, many tenant farmers were present, so far or near, they have seen Yi'er, these days, how Yi'er dealt with the Peng family and Cai Tian, everyone also saw in their eyes, and their hearts were both in awe and gratitude to this county lord.

Yi'er greeted everyone first, and then announced that all the arrears of the so-called households in Cai Tian in previous years would be written off, and a grain storage center would be built in Xiaoao Village, where anyone could go to the grain storage to borrow grain if they had any difficulties, without interest or profit, and from today onwards, the tax on the food yi would be reduced to an incredible thirty to one. As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly boiled, and in addition to the excitement, someone took the lead to bow to Yi'er, and as soon as the head opened, hundreds of people said auspicious words like a tsunami, and knelt down to Yi'er to thank him.

In the afternoon, Xu's boiled tea, brought it in and invited Yi'er to taste, of course, the tea is still that Tieguanyin, which is naturally not good in Yi'er, but this is already the best thing that Xu's can come up with, it can be seen that this time Xu's is specially cooked by himself, and he has worked hard, and the taste is different from what he drank before.

Yi'er has worked hard to practice in making tea, and even the emperor is quite satisfied with the Lu'an melon slices that were boiled in the palace, and he praised them. It's just that although she can make tea, she is not too particular about drinking tea, and she doesn't have too much indulging in it on weekdays, but Xu's boiled Tieguanyin, the tea is not good, after Xu's pounding out, but it is sweet and fragrant, after a slight bitterness, the aftertaste is long, Yi'er couldn't help but blurt out two sentences.

Xu's face turned red, and said: "In the countryside, the tea is not good, but the water is taken from a mountain spring at the foot of Mingshan Mountain, and it is reluctant to be able to boil this taste, but fortunately, the county lord can still eat it, and the slave family is at ease." ”

Yi'er thought for a while, pointed to the stool next to her and said, "Lady, sit down, I have to talk to you about something." ”

Xu Shi was stunned and said: "I didn't know the identity of the county lord before, I was still bold and reckless, and sat on an equal footing with the county lord, the county lord did not blame the slave family, the slave family was already lucky, at this time the county lord was in front of him, how could there be a reason for the slave family to sit together?" ”

Yi'er smiled and said, "I don't have so many rules here, but it's okay to sit down." ”

Seeing Yi'er's insistence, Xu Shi thanked him and half-sat sideways on the stool and chair.

Yi'er said: "I didn't know before, the lady used to come out of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion, right?" ”

Xu nodded and said: "Don't hide it from the county master, the slave family used to be the personal girl next to the second lady of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion, called okra, and it was also in the day... Hey, this was pointed out to the current head by my young lady. ”

Yi'er said: "Then after you entered the Gao family, have you still contacted your young lady?" ”

Xu said: "The county lord may not know, my young lady and the Peng family that beast is reconciled, and then the young lady returned to the capital, and when she left, she also came to see the slave family, and rewarded the slave family with some silver jewelry, and then later, the slave family in this concave village, the young lady is in the deep inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, although it is not far away, but in the end it is still lost contact." The slave family is married, and there is no ability and energy to inquire about the young lady every day, and it has been almost two years, and I don't know how the young lady is doing? ”

Yi'er sighed and said, "Second sister, I'm afraid it's not going well now." ”

"Second sister?" Xu was puzzled.

Yi'er smiled and said, "There are some things that are so troublesome to talk about, so I won't talk to you about them." Your young lady, but I am familiar with each other, she is no longer in the Hou Mansion now, and her mother is in the Hou Mansion in the suburbs of Beijing's manor, this time I go back, I just want to go over to see her, do you want to go with me to see your old master? ”

Xu was pleasantly surprised, and happy that Yi'er had spoken, so she was able to meet Du Xiangyu with the past, and what surprised her was how Du Xiangyu didn't live in the Hou Mansion and went to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs? Generally speaking, if she is not punished for making a big mistake, or she has a serious illness and needs to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate, she will leave the Hou Mansion and go to live in Zhuangzi.

Don't talk about this, but talk about Pei Yang, I have to say that Pei Yang, a rough man from the barracks, is simple and rude in doing things, but the efficiency is extremely high, Yi'er only waited for two days, this person has brought the account book, silver tickets, land deeds, and other things to Gao's house to talk back to Yi'er.

“。。。。 All the cash silver of the Peng family was added to one piece, but it was only one thousand two hundred and seventy-eight taels of silver, plus all kinds of jewelry, and the appraiser of the silver building was invited to come over, and it was estimated that the total was only three thousand taels of silver. In addition, the Peng family has a total of thirteen properties in Quzhou City and the capital, and the humble position is calculated according to 2,000 taels of each property, which is only 26,000 taels of silver, as well as the Peng family's mansion, and 300 acres of fertile land in Shangwa Village, all the assets are added together, which is less than 35,000 taels of silver. The county lord's IOU was 4,500 taels of gold, converted into silver, and there must be 40,000 taels of silver anyway, which was too much difference, so he made his own assertions, and took the masters of the Peng family together with the servants, and all 78 people were taken to the county government to be arrested, signed a death deed, and returned to the slave to pay off the debt. ”

Yi'er was stunned for a moment, on the one hand, she didn't expect that a squire like the Peng family could make up so much money, and on the other hand, she had always been disgusted with those unrighteous acts of bullying and grabbing by force, but in the matter of the Peng family, she herself had become such a wicked person! Again, this Pei Yang forcibly took the materials and silver taels, and actually filled all the cadres of the Peng family into slaves, which made her frown slightly, and said, "Where can I use so many people around me?" How have you given all these people to me, and have I come and arrange for them? ”

Pei Yang said with a smile: "The humble position originally wanted to recruit people to come over, and directly sold all the people, but the county lord also knows that this kind of person who has settled down and settled down can afford what price in Renyazi?" But if the county lord takes it and sells it in the name of the county lord's mansion, it will be two different things. It doesn't take much effort, the county lord can deal with it in a day or two after sending someone, but the money can at least be doubled. ”

Yi'er was a little helpless and said, "Aren't you the Zhongwei Lang in the barracks?" Money-related matters, you to shrewdness. ”

Pei Yang said with a smile: "The lowly job does not hide from the county lord, the lowly family was originally in business, but the family fell in the middle of the road, and there was no way out, so the lowly job went to join the army." ”

Yi'er shook her head and let Yingu reward the red seal, Pei Yang refused, Yi'er said: "This matter is bothering you, I can't send you in vain, you can take Feng'er, even if you don't want it, those sons and daughters under you also want it." It doesn't mean anything else, everyone has done my errand, I'll invite everyone to drink some wine and have a tooth sacrifice. ”

Pei Yang took it, leaned over to thank him, and bowed and retreated.
