Chapter 447: Carrying the Dragon and Collecting the Rain

Lan Yi looked at the two silver tickets handed over by Zhou Weiji, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, "Why did the third brother follow you over?" ”

Zhou Weiji knew that Lan Yi knew Lei Tianze's identity, so he didn't hide it, "Liang Yousi is also implicated in other things. ”

Something else? Lan Yi's eyes rolled and she didn't ask any more.

"What are you going to do with the Tao Ji Cai Silk Shop?" Zhou Weiji changed his clothes, looked at Lan Yi who was thinking, and asked softly.

"Don't bother with it, I'm afraid they won't stay long." Lan Yi used scissors to subtract the charred and curly wick, "In a few days, someone else should come over." ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, "Don't leave anyone by Xuan'er's side." What he worries about is that these people will not find an opportunity to start, and they will jump over the wall and take tough measures.

Lan Yi nodded in response, "I know." By the way, Sister Wan wrote to say that Mi Yichao had decided to be promoted to the next magistrate of Meixian County, and there was no confirmed news from Tian Daozhi. ”

"Well, it is also reasonable, he was promoted to the magistrate of the county under thirty, if the three years can be spent smoothly, it is not impossible to be promoted to the state official in the next office." Mi Yichao has a flexible mind, he is not very old, but he knows how to be an official, and he knows how to use his relationship to make friends with Shangguan without making people feel sycophant. And because he came from a poor family, Mi has a deep understanding of the people's suffering, and he also has the ambition to contribute to the country and the people.

Lan Yi didn't want to mention Mi Yichao, and asked about the situation of Zhou Changhai, the magistrate of Huang County, "Zhou Zhixian of our county, must be able to be promoted this time, right?" ”

"Lord Zhou's term of office will also expire at the end of the year, and the next appointment should be able to go to Beijing or Gyeonggi as an official." Zhou Weiji took the pajamas that Lan Yi had prepared for him. Ready to go to the bathroom to freshen up, "Our next parent official here is also going to change." ”

Lan Yi put away the pen and paper on the table. The kang table was also lifted to the side, listening to the rain outside the window, thinking about whether it would have any impact on Aoyama Shangji after the next parent official came.

Whether the magistrate is honest or not has a great impact on local agriculture and commerce. If the magistrate wants to accumulate money, he will definitely be able to come up with a reason that is "justifiable", and if the magistrate is like this, the petty officials below will naturally compete to follow suit, and the entire yamen will be ruined by them. Next. The guilds of all walks of life in the prefecture and the actions of the village will also take action, and the lives of the people will become difficult.

Now Tsingshan Shangji has a firm foothold in Huang County. There is also a seat in the guild of the grocery store and the oil store, and Xia Shun is now the president of the oil store, so let's wait until the new magistrate takes office, and then make observations.

"So I want to come. It's better to be the landlord. Lan Yi lay on the quilt. He put his hands on his cheeks and watched the flickering lights. The Great Zhou attaches great importance to agricultural farming, and in order to make the farmers motivated, the rent payment ratio stipulated by the imperial court is strictly regulated. If any magistrate dares to exceed this ratio, once it is discovered, the officials involved will be severely punished, so the magistrate wants to collect money. Generally, the brain is not moved to the peasantry. Such a policy can indeed ensure that the farmland within the territory of the Great Zhou is reasonably reclaimed to the greatest extent and the peasants are fixed on the land. It is easy to manage and easy to recruit.

The opposite of heavy agriculture is the suppression of business. Compared with the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has many fewer restrictions and exploitation on commerce and merchants, but there are still a lot of taxes to be paid by merchants.

Lan Yi swayed her calves back and forth, and her mind to buy land became firmer. Although the annual income from investing in real estate is less than that of business, it is better to be stable.

Zhou Weiji returned to the room after taking a shower, and when he saw the sultry posture of his little daughter-in-law, his eyes became hot. These days, the Jia family is not at home, Wen Xuan and them are asleep on the same kang, Lan Yi takes care of the child, does not let him toss, she can't escape tonight.

Lan Yi was thinking about the matter of the field, when she felt that her body sank, Zhou Wei's extremely hot body pressed down, and she said in a dumb voice, "Daughter-in-law, ......"

Lan Yi was pressed by him and couldn't turn over, so she could only twist her body, "Don't make trouble, the lights are still on." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Weiji raised her hand to extinguish the light, and the fiery breath fell on her ears, "It's out." ”

Before Lan Yi could speak, his fiery kiss landed on his ear, and Lan Yi couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In the past two months, Zhou Weiji has figured out the sensitive points on Lan Yi's body, knowing that her ears and neck are extremely itchy, and he couldn't help but laugh softly and discussed, "Daughter-in-law, there is no Xuan'er tonight, you just leave it to me, okay?" ”

On September 19, Beigou Village carried grass and collected rain.

As soon as the time arrived, the wall clock under the old locust tree in the village rang, which was the bell that summoned the villagers to gather. Lan Yi and Jia Shi also took Wen Xuan out and rushed over.

As soon as I went out, I ran into a knife without a blade.

Thinking that he was one of the coolies carrying the grass dragon today, Lan Yile bent his eyes, and he didn't know who the remaining three coolies were.

"Second sister-in-law, Aunt Yao." Dao Wufeng took the initiative to say hello and came up to pick up Wenxuan.

For the Jia family, Dao Wufeng is also very respectful, Su Yongshen's legs can be better to the extent that they are now, and Jia's medicine is indispensable.

Jia Shi nodded and smiled at him, and didn't say much after Lan Yi.

Lan Yi looked behind him, "Sword Hero, where is your follower?" ”

Such a lively thing, Qianmo didn't come out, which made Lan Yi feel strange.

"Qianmo went out two days ago, and he hasn't come back yet." Dao Wufeng said with a smile, without Qianmo, who was the one who played the role, the chores at home had fallen on him again in the past few days.

When they arrived at the old locust tree in the village, most of the villagers had already arrived, and there was a grass dragon about one zhang long under the big locust tree. Lan Yi took Wen Xuan and looked at this grass dragon with wood as the keel curiously. The grass dragon is tied with straw, and the dragon claws and dragon heads are carved from wood, and the carving is naturally not as good as Zhao Shangjing, but it can also be seen.

"Mother, why is the dragon's mouth closed and there are no beads?" Wen Xuan pointed to the dragon's mouth and asked.

Lan Yi thought for a moment, "Maybe it's to keep more rain from flowing out of the dragon's mouth." ”

As for why it rains, the locals think that it is the destiny of the dragon to absorb water from the four seas and then take the clouds and spray it in the air. Since it is to be collected, it is understandable that the grass dragon is closed in its mouth.

Wen Xuan nodded again and again, and the eight mothers and second sisters-in-law who rushed over to watch the excitement listened to Lan Yi's words and said with a smile, "Brother and sister are right, that's what Liu Xiangu said." ”

Liu Xiangu, the Taoist woman who caught ghosts for the old Wang's family in the south of the village a few days ago, is also one of the protagonists of today's rain harvest, and is sitting cross-legged on the futon with her eyes closed at this time.

Lan Yi looked back at the eighth mother-in-law and second sister-in-law who were carefully supported by Tuesday, "Second sister-in-law, do you know how to collect today's rain?" (To be continued.) )
