Chapter 172: Zhou Zhiguo's Intention

Mobile reading

Zhou Zhiguo was a little curious, he hadn't seen what the brick kiln looked like, although the family lived in a green brick house, but those were all craftsmen, and people went to arrange things.

It's just that curiosity is curiosity. This brick kiln is monopolized by the imperial court, and Jiang Yuer is breaking the law by doing so.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiguo's face suddenly didn't look good.

Jiang Yu'er learned that Zhou Zhiguo had come to the brick kiln factory, so she also put down the things in her hand and hurriedly greeted her.

When she saw that Zhou Zhiguo's face was not good-looking, she was also a little worried in her heart, wondering if she had made a mistake and asked the county magistrate to arrest her personally? It's just that after thinking about it for a long time, I still haven't come up with a reason. In the end, I laughed at myself, and I really went back more and more.

I usually abide by the law, are you still afraid of breaking the law?

Thinking of this, unconsciously, I breathed a sigh of relief. greeted him with a smile: "People's girl Jiang Yu'er, see Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Zhiguo's expression was still cold, and in his impression, the woman in front of him knew how to advance and retreat. It's just that what she is doing now really makes him unable to connect with self-advancement.

Jiang Yu'er didn't see him excuse herself, and she didn't care, she straightened up and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the folk girl did to make the adults so angry?" ”

Li Zheng and a few people, when they came before, they were still smiling, and when they saw Zhou Zhiguo, they were also smiling, and they didn't feel anything. But now, looking at Zhou Zhiguo's appearance, he is also a little overwhelmed.

Several people followed behind Zhou Zhiguo in fear, and they didn't know why he suddenly became angry.

Zhou Zhiguo looked at the woman in front of him, and then at the half-repaired brick kiln.

Jiang Yu'er is such a transparent person, seeing Zhou Zhiguo like this, where would he not understand how he would be angry: "It turns out that the adults are angry about our brick kiln!" After speaking, he smiled again, and then said, "I'm afraid my lord has misunderstood." Our house burns red bricks, which is different from the green bricks burned by the imperial court. The green bricks of the imperial court symbolize status and power, and the red bricks of our house are fired for the common people. Therefore, people, as long as they have money, can buy our red bricks to build a house. What's more, the imperial court monopolized green bricks, and it didn't say that the people couldn't burn red bricks, so at this point, the people thought, our family should not have violated the law. ”

Jiang Yuer said it very clearly, and Zhou Zhiguo heard it very clearly. He immediately knew the reason why she could build a brick kiln so openly. It turns out that he took advantage of the loopholes of the court law!

At this point, Zhou Zhiguo had to admire this woman's boldness and carefulness, and he also had to admire this woman's knowledge. As a rural woman, she actually knew the law and knew how to exploit the loopholes of the law.

This made Zhou Zhiguo have to take a new look at Jiang Yuer a few times. Such a woman, if she is a man, what will happen in the future, Zhou Zhiguo is immeasurable.

It seems that I have really come to the right place where I ran to this place that my relatives and friends can't understand.

At the very least, he'd seen something that no one else could believe.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiguo smiled and said to Jiang Yu'er: "Miss Jiang, Zhou has to admire your wisdom!" ”

Jiang Yu'er also smiled and said modestly: "Lord Zhou is too famous." The folk girl just wants to eat. ”

"Huh! You're just eating. Let me help you count them. Don't talk about the one in front of you, let's just say that on the official road, your family's stone field is enough for you to feed your family! Also, when the government ascended the throne, your more than 1,000 acres of land, not to mention that your family still has two seasons of grain a year, just one season, which is enough for you to eat, right? Now you are doing these again, you say, you are a woman, you have a lot of appetite! ”

Jiang Yu'er smiled again: "It seems that Lord Zhou is very clear about the people's daughter's family!" This little fight is all in your heart. There are both praise and disapproval of these words, and those who have a heart have heard it.

Yes, Jiang Yuer's family's small family background is really not enough compared to those big families, and it can be regarded as standing out among the people.

Jiang Yu'er is secretly sarcastic that Lord Zhou is idle, and he is staring at their Jiang family!

And the few people who came with it, only then did they know that Jiang Yuer's land was so much.

In the past, they just calculated it in their hearts, that is, hundreds of acres, but now they look at it, more than 1,000 acres of land, which is a lot of wealth.

Zhou Zhiguo didn't care about Jiang Yuer's ridicule, he came today for a purpose.

His father sent him a letter and asked him to find a way to buy out the grain in Jiang Yuer's hand. In this era, controlling food is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the imperial court. He didn't want to control the lifeblood of the imperial court, but he just didn't want people to have a chance to make a fortune because of this year's disaster.

Looking at the construction site, this kind of dirty place is not for hospitality. So, he invited the man back to his house.

Although I was a little disgusted with Zhou Zhiguo's investigation of himself, he was a county magistrate, and the so-called arms couldn't twist his thighs. As a small ordinary person, she also had to bow her head.

After entering the house, Aunt Ruan was going to make tea. But Jiang Yu'er thought that her family's tea was a little different, so she asked Aunt Ruan to serve boiled water. Although this is not hospitality, I thought that Zhou Zhiguo talked about his family's industry very clearly just now. Jiang Yuer thinks that the fewer people who know about this tea, the better.

In this era, tea, salt, and wine had to be allowed to be operated with the permission of the imperial court. It's not that she Jiang Yu'er is stingy, it's that she doesn't want to do so much.

In her heart, this tea is not worth a few dollars.

It is said that if you are not afraid of thieves coming to steal, you are afraid that thieves will be worried.

Obviously, Zhou Zhiguo, she can't believe it.

Aunt Ruan didn't understand why Jiang Yu'er did this, but as a subordinate, she had the advantage of obeying her master's orders.

Zhou Zhiguo, who was holding Jiang Yuer's cup of boiled water, didn't care, he understood very well that if he wanted to drink good tea in the countryside, it must be impossible. But the tea should be drinkable.

But the Jiang family is different, there are no adults in their family, so it is unreasonable for a few children not to drink tea.

After taking a sip of water, Zhou Zhiguo finally spoke: "Miss Jiang, Zhou is here today because I have something to discuss with Miss Jiang." "He used Zhou, not his own official, which is a good illustration. He came this time, not on behalf of the officials, nor on behalf of the imperial court, but on behalf of himself.

Jiang Yu'er smiled, nodded, and said, "Lord Zhou, please say something." ”

"Miss Jiang, this official knows that your family has planted more than 1,000 acres of wheat this winter. I wonder if this wheat will be harvested next year, will it all be sold to this official? Zhou Zhiguo is also a cheerful person, and he said bluntly. It's just that this opening is about to be harvested completely, which is really incredible.
