As soon as the time turned to the end of February, the Xu family received good news from the capital, saying that Xu Wenchun had won the second place in the examination and was qualified to enter the palace examination.

In addition, they also received a letter from Xu Wen, which explained that they had met the emperor, and the emperor personally came to inquire about Xu Wen.

As soon as they heard that Xu Wen had already met the emperor, Old Man Xu called the ancestors blessed, and if the descendants came out, the other family supported Xu Wen's choice.

Xu Yunjin felt that this emperor was really good, so he bought a lot of information from the system and sent it to Xu Wen through the medicine gate.

Not only that, Xu Yunjin also wrote down the idea of simplifying the text, and all the information added up to several large boxes.

There are not many things to do in the New Year, but Xu Yunjin also found time to prepare for the dyeing workshop, and today he called Kang Lian to come to the Xu family to discuss.

"Steward Kang, where do you think our dyeing workshop is most appropriate?"

Kang Lian has been running a dyeing workshop for many years, and her experience is definitely more than her, even if she has a favorite place, Xu Yunjin can't help but ask Kang Lian's opinion first.

"Girl, I think it's a good place next to the winery, the dyeing shop needs a lot of water, and there is not only a water source nearby, but also a large open space."

Kang Lian's ability is not Xu Yunjin, he is an all-round businessman, even if he is not good at business, but he has something in his head, and he often draws inferences from one case to another, and his head turns extremely fast.

"It seems that I have a good eye, because I think the side of the brewery is good."

Xu Yunjin felt a little proud in her heart, and the gap between her and Kang Lian narrowed again.

"In that case, let's go tomorrow to see if the vacant land near the winery belongs to our county or to Longyang County next door, if it is the terra nullius in Longyang County, it will be troublesome."

The county next door to Yongding County is called Longyang County, which used to be a very prosperous county seat, and then came a soil overlord, I heard that it was a distant relative of He Xiang, and he had to do business in Longyang County.

This person's name is He Liguang, he likes to franchise on weekdays, and he is indeed a relative of the He family, but it is a little far away.

He Liguang has been smart since he was a child, and he does have some talent in business, but he is better at playing conspiracy, and I don't know what means he used to hook up with He Chong's only son-in-law, He Lishun.

So far, He Liguang came to Longyang to do business with the light of He Lishun, relying on the relationship between the He family, He Liguang used some shady means to collapse many shops.

The slightly more prosperous people in Longyang County have gone out to do business, so now the economy of Longyang County is not as good as before, and the atmosphere is also very poor, and there are often some gangsters who steal chickens and dogs. c

The county order of Longyang County is not a good thing, and He Liguang is a nest of snakes and rats, and he will oppress the people on weekdays, these are all inquired by Yuan San to tell Xu Yunjin.

"Yes, girl." Kang Lian took the order and left the Xu family.

Early the next morning, Xu Yunjin and the two went to Yongding County to check whether the land was in Yongding County, but the results were very disappointing.

The workshop was less than three kilometers past the boundary of Longyang County, so Xu Yunjin had no choice but to go to the winery, called the Fan Yuanqiao carriage and walked towards the village next to it.

"Old man, I want to ask you how to get to the village chief's house?"

The village next to the winery is called Shanghe Village, the village is located in the upper reaches of the river and gets its name, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village and saw an old grandfather Fan Yuanqiao and got off the car and asked.

"The third one in front is the village chief of our village, but the two of you have something?"

The old man pointed to a blue brick house at the entrance of the village, and asked with some vigilance.

"We belong to the Xu Clan's Distillery, and we have something to do with your village chief."

After Fan Yuanqiao replied politely, he said goodbye to the old man and went to the village chief's house in Shanghe Village.

"Knock knock."

Fan Yuanqiao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the woman's question came from the courtyard.

"Who?"

"We are from the Xu Clan's Distillery, and we have come to find the village chief Cao of Shanghe Village."

I heard a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and in a short time a woman in a blue coarse cloth dress opened the door for several people.

"My father-in-law is not at home, a few guests will wait for a while, and I will ask the children in the family to inform."

The woman opened the door wide, and today all the family went out to work, and a man was in her and the woman could not be closed to her.

"Xiao Mao, go to the field and call your grandfather back, saying that the owner of the next wine shop has come to the house."

The courtyard of the Cao family is not big, it is cleaned up, and there are three children squatting in the corner playing in the mud.

The woman called her youngest son, who was six years old, to call for someone in the field, and the child ran away obediently.

Soon there was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, and an old man in a gray linen coat and straw sandals appeared at the door.

"The grass people have seen the county lord."

When Village Chief Cao entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Yunjin sitting on a wooden stool, he had seen Xu Yunjin on the day the winery opened, and he recognized her identity at a glance.

"Old man, please, I'm here today to ask if the vacant land next to this winery belongs to your village, or is it a borderless land?"

The rule of land trading in Daqi is that if it is clearly stipulated that it belongs to that village, then the head of the village can help measure the land and go to the yamen for filing.

On the other hand, if the land does not belong to any village, but it is within the jurisdiction of the county, you have to go to the county government to go through the formalities, which will cost more money and time.

"The vacant land there belongs to our village, I don't know how many acres the county lord needs?"

When Village Chief Cao heard that Xu Yunjin had come to buy land, he was a lot happier in his words, after all, selling land to outsiders would also make money in their village.

"I want twenty acres of land near the winery."

Xu Yunjin was very arrogant and directly wrapped up the vacant land, which shocked Village Chief Cao's eyes wide.

"Is the county lord planning to expand the winery?"

Village Chief Cao asked with some envy, she is also from a peasant family, and the little girl in front of her is twenty acres of land, but their village is exploited by dog officials and can't afford to eat.

"No, I still have to build a workshop, and when the time comes, Village Chief Cao will help me organize some people in the village."

Xu Yunjin saw that the old man in front of him was very kind, but he didn't know why he looked so old.

Since the workshop is to be built, the workers must be looking for it nearby, and no one in Shuiluo Village has time to earn the hard-earned money for repairing the house.

"Hey, hey, okay, as long as the county lord speaks, I'll definitely find you some good hands."

When the old man heard this, he was so excited that his tears almost flowed out, and he kept thanking Xu Yunjin, Xu Yunjin looked a little sad, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

After a while, Village Chief Cao took his eldest son Cao Dewang and the little boy Cao Mao who had just gone to call people to measure the land.

"Sister, how did your family make so much money? Can you eat rice and meat every day?"

A somewhat childish voice sounded in his ears, Xu Yunjin looked down at the little boy in front of him, and had some doubts in his heart.

This year is obviously a bumper harvest year, why is this child still thin, seeing that the Cao family is not the kind of person who will treat the child harshly when a big woman does a lot of evil.

Not only Cao Mao was thin, but even the Cao family was too, and the few villagers they met along the way were also not full.

"To make money, you must rely on your own hands not to steal or rob, you must make money through legitimate means, you have to do more and think more about things, and it is best to be literate and understand etiquette."

When the little boy heard this, he obviously thought about it, and after a while said to Xu Yunjin:

"Is it not legitimate for someone to rob our village of grain and sell it? Are they bad people?"
