Chapter 117 - On the Brackish Lands

As soon as he raised his eyes, Duan Qingming saw Xu Ning standing at the outer door. She smiled slightly:

"Thank you."

Xu Ning is the brother-in-law of Di's sister-in-law. It was also Sister-in-law Di who recommended him to help Duan Qingming! Everything tonight was already in Duan Qingming's plan. Originally, everything was flawless, the only thing was that he couldn't take care of Xia Cao'er who was detained for the time being. Duan Qingming was most afraid that Uncle Xu would assassinate Xia Cao'er, so he asked Xu Ning to watch secretly. Fortunately, Xu Ning did not fail in his mission and secretly found someone to protect Xia Cao'er. When those people wanted to assassinate Xia Cao'er, they saved her!

Xu Ning looked at Duan Qingming and bowed slightly:

"Serving the master, this is all Xu Ning's business! If nothing else, Xu Ning said goodbye! ”

Seeing that Xu Ning was leaving, Duan Qingming smiled slightly:

"Although this Zhuangzi is small, you can't be without an owner for a day, from tomorrow, you will be the custodian of this Zhuangzi, and when I go back, I will be officially appointed by Daddy!"

After saying that, let Mama Ning send the stunned Xu Ning out!

This Zhuangzi has been controlled by Liu Rong for several years, and now, it can be said that a hundred wastes are waiting to be lifted, and a young and powerful steward is needed to take care of Zhuangzi!

Sister-in-law Di said that this Xu Ning has read books for a few years, and he is quite insightful in life. Moreover, his father used to be the housekeeper of his wife Ding Rou when she was alive! In the end, Sister-in-law Di said that if you use people in Zhuangzi, you are a good candidate!

When Duan Qingming asked later, she learned that Xu Ning's father, but Ding Rou's old man when he was alive, was also brought up by Ding Rou. Coupled with the fact that he was cautious and far-sighted, he made many far-sighted suggestions during Ding Rou's lifetime. The management of salt and brackish land is one of them. But later, Mrs. Ding Rou passed away, and Aunt Liu's Hakka carried out a major purge of all the stewards, and Xu Ning's father was thrown off the position of steward at that time!

After Uncle Xu became a steward, he attacked Xu Ning's father again openly, and framed him secretly, and soon, Xu Chang, who was upright by nature, was so angry that he returned to the West! Before he died, Xu Chang, who had been a steward for the Duan family for half his life, was still talking about the dozens of acres of salt and salt land. Later, Xu Ning had talked about the salt and brackish land several times, and if he couldn't control the salt and brackish land, he would not give up!

Salty?

Hearing these words, Duan Qingming's heart moved, as if she had thought of something. Looking at Xu Ning again, he is really young and old, wise and resourceful, so Duan Qingming immediately decided to let Xu Ning manage this Zhuangzi, and take this salt and salt land together to govern it!

Seeing that Xu Ning even forgot to say thank you, she was dragged out of the house by Mama Ning, Xia Cao'er on one side couldn't help it, she laughed out loud:

"This Xu Ning is really a stupid goose!"

Duan Qingming looked at Xia Cao'er, who was crying and laughing, and shook her head slightly-alas, this little girl looks like an adult, but as soon as she turned around, this child's temperament was revealed again!

It's just that the young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, he cries when he wants to cry, and he laughs when he wants to laugh, which is not a blessing!

**********************

On the eaves in the distance, there was a black figure, quietly looking at this side. Seeing Tie Feng leading people into the courtyard, the figure bent his lips slightly, and then walked out without looking back!

Behind him, the voice of the young man faintly rang out:

"Master, this drama hasn't ended yet. Are you leaving? ”

In his ears, Yan Lingyu's lazy voice came:

"Silly and weak, this scene has long ended......"

That little fox, but the master who never suffers, since she dares to cheat people with death, it proves that in her heart, she has already thought of a countermeasure.

Now, the little fox is fine, the person in charge of things has been ambushed, and the excitement is gone, of course he has to leave! Even if he doesn't leave, that little fox won't invite him to supper!

Behind him, there was another sound of weak water:

"Master, the guy who set the fire is the envoy of the steward, and his subordinates have listened to your orders, tied him up, and threw him outside the door of Tiefeng!"

Yan Lingyu only let out a faint "um", didn't speak, and just walked straight forward!

Weak water followed behind Yan Lingyu, following his footsteps closely, but he was wondering in his heart - in the past two days, the master asked them to stay awake day and night to guard the eldest lady's courtyard, and today it was not dark yet, and the master himself came, staring at Miss Duan's house, until now, but now, he is leaving?

Looking back, in Duan Qingming's courtyard, those villains were all pulled away one by one, and the weak water wondered in his heart, you know, the master is a person who doesn't like trouble, in the past, if he saw someone he didn't like, he would have killed him one by one. Where is there room for these people to set fires and pestilences and make so many moths come out?

Of course, the most strange thing about the weak water is that this master is obviously very nervous about the matter of the eldest lady, but when the matter comes, they are only allowed to watch, and none of them are allowed to do anything. Until Miss Duan designed it herself, and then, she wiped out all these people!

I have to say that this master's mind is really elusive!

Thinking of this, Weak Water didn't know whether to live or die and asked:

"Master, why don't you kill these people, one by one? What are you doing with them to plague people? ”

Yan Lingyu's footsteps stopped, and then, in the night wind, his threatening voice came:

"Weak water, do you want to see a doctor......

Seeing the imperial doctor, it is to catch the medicine, what to do with the medicine? It's just drinking, this master thinks he talks too much and threatens him!

I have to say that the word "drink medicine" is definitely the most effective blow to weak water, and he immediately clenched his mouth and didn't dare to say another word!

Yan Lingyu, who was walking in front, was thinking in his heart - hum, a little steward, actually coveted the beauty of the little fox, and thought about plotting against him, it seems that he has to find someone tonight to cut him off!

The dividing line of the brackish land***************************

Early the next morning, Xu Ning came.

He first thanked Duan Qingming for his promotion, and after Duan Qingming explained all the things in the Zhuangzi in detail, and then, as if he couldn't wait to bring up the matter of dozens of acres of salt and salt land outside the village!

Now, Xu Ning remembered what happened to his father, so he wanted to talk to Duan Qingming about his father's will, the matter of dozens of acres of salt and salt land idle in Duan Mansion!

It turns out that there are more than 50 acres of land around this Zhuangzi, although they all belong to the Duan family, but because it is a salty land that everyone fears, for many years, these dozens of acres of land have been barren like this, and they cannot be used, planted or planted, and there is no harvest every year. For this reason, Xu Ning has thought of many ways to transform a small piece of salt and salt land, but the problem is that the transformation of a small area will not play any role at all, so he hopes that the owner can make a sum of money to transform these places, although in the short term, it will cost a lot of silver, but if you look at the long-term plan, it is still very cost-effective!

Xu Ning was worried about this matter, and Duan Qingming was about to return, so he was in a hurry, so he raised the issue of wanting to transform the salt land to Duan Qingming just after he was reset!

Duan Qingming's heart was moved for a while, and I have to say that if he wasn't really a person from Duan Mansion, he would never care about the master's harvest, and he would never take the master's dozens of acres of salty land in his eyes. It can be seen that my mother knows people and is really far-sighted, and the people she likes really can't be wrong!

However, on the issue of governing salt and salt land, in the Great Xia Dynasty, for many years, it was helpless. Therefore, these countless salty lands only grow some grass that even cows can't eat half of it, and it withers and grows again when it is a year old, and it grows again in the spring breeze, year after year, season after season!

However, are these salty lands that look at the land, but cannot grow crops, but only grass, really have to look at the land year after year, and there is no way to manage it?

No, the answer must be no!
