Su Mo changed her clothes, combed her hair again, and then went to the study, telling the three children to stay at home obediently, she went to the village chief's house, and came back soon.

Three children naturally deserve it.

Su Mo rushed to the village chief's house with Hui Niang.

Su Mo thought that the county magistrate would be a middle-aged man over four or five years old, but when he saw it, he found that he was actually a beautiful man with a strong body.

Wearing an official uniform, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a straight waist, healthy wheat-colored skin, three-dimensional facial features, and no wrinkles on the face.

The gestures do not give people the feeling of being superior, but with a bit of casual and free, approachable but slightly alienated.

The village chief gave Su Mo a look and asked her not to stand stupidly, the people see the officials, and the salute of kneeling is not enough, but the number of other etiquette that should be there is still no less.

After receiving the hint from the village chief, Su Mo immediately saluted in a proper manner: "I have seen the county commander." ”

The county commander's surname is Fang, and he has learned from the village chief that the ancient law was found by the woman in front of him, and this person is also the widowed mother mentioned by the village chief last time.

"It's important to get down to business, so you don't have to be polite."

Fang Xian Ling retracted his gaze, his expression faint.

"I ask you, how do you know about this method of improving soil quality?"

When she came over, Hui Niang had already given Su Mo the wind.

The village chief did not tell the county magistrate that Su Mo went to Huzhou Mansion to find miscellaneous records, but was vague, only saying that it was a method proposed by a woman in the village.

The village chief has selfish motives.

If the truth is told truthfully, the county order directly sends someone to Huzhou Mansion to find this miscellaneous book, wouldn't it make them work in vain?

As the head of the village, he is also an official position, and naturally there is also an assessment, although he can continue to serve without merit, it does not mean that he does not want to have merit.

This ancient method was passed down from Luoshan Village, and if it really worked, he, the village chief, would have a bright face, and he would be even more able to hold his head up in front of the village chiefs of other villages.

In the long run, it will be the sons and daughters in the village, and the family affairs will be a little smoother.

However, the village chief's selfish move saved Su Mo from lying.

After returning from Huzhou Mansion, she realized that she was not thoughtful, and if someone went to Huzhou Mansion to investigate, this miscellaneous matter would inevitably be revealed.

But the matter has come to this, regret is useless, 258 can think about it, comfort her that there is Gu Xingnian's koi luck, not to mention a small lie, even if she falls from the cliff, there must be vines wrapped in nets to trap her.

Noticing that the village chief gave her a look, Su Mo calmed down and said, "Lord Hui, this method was learned by me in a miscellaneous book of my mother's house before. ”

Fang County's order is a little unbelievable, a peasant woman, what miscellaneous records can her mother's family have that will record the improvement of saline-alkali land?

And if you have seen it in your mother's house, why did you bring it up until now?

He pointed out his doubts, then lowered his eyes, rubbed the tea bowl with his fingertips, and waited for the woman in front of him to explain.

Su Mo was thoughtful this time.

"My lord doesn't know, I was originally from Jinju, and my father was a member of Guanyuan City, and I had a collection of thousands of books at home.

I only hate the sixteenth year of Yuanyong, and there was a great drought in Jinju.

My father took me all the way south, and I could leave Jinju after seeing the river, but unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers chased me and shot my father in front of my eyes, and I fell into the river.

Fortunately, I was rescued by my husband's family, and I later learned that the village made a living by going out to sea to fish, and was supported by my husband's family, so I never thought about my livelihood.

Who would have thought that my husband and in-laws died in an accident when they went to sea a few years ago, and I was so confused that I only woke up a month ago.

Without a husband's family, and with three children under his knees, if the family wants to live, they must have an income..."

When Su Mo said this, he didn't go on.

She knows very well that the words can't be said too clearly, and there must be room for brain supplementation, so that some subtle discrepancies will be subconsciously rounded up by the observers.

She lowered her head, making it difficult for people to see clearly, and her voice was already a little choked up in the back, giving Fang County Ling and the village chief a feeling that they couldn't help themselves when they talked about sad things.

Fang County Ling naturally inquired about Su Mo, but it was only limited to the archives obtained from the county office.

For example, Su is a coastal county in the sixteenth year of Yuan Yong, and according to the process, he has settled here.

The following year, he married Gu Dalang of the Gu family in Luoshan Village as his wife.

At the end of the spring of the twenty-second year of Yuan Yong, three members of the Gu family cancelled their household registrations.

If it weren't for Su Mo talking about his life experience, he really didn't expect that Su would be a refugee from the great drought in Jinju at the beginning, and he still had some relationship with himself.

Fang Xianling's eyes flashed slightly, and he quietly looked at Su Mo's eyebrows and eyes, and after being indeed similar to the person in his memory, he believed it in his heart.

But he still asked: "Ling Tang is Su Zhiyuan of Guan Yuan City?" ”

Su Mo was slightly stunned: "Do you know my father?" ”

Fang Shi took a sip of tea, the tea was very ordinary, and the entrance was slightly astringent.

"Ling Tang is a well-known benevolent person in Guanyuan City, and this official has received a lot of favors from him."

Fang Shi is also a native of Jinzhou, his parents died when he was young, and his uncle and mother seemed to be a burden to him, so they specially took him to Guanyuan City, which was hundreds of miles away, and abandoned him.

If it weren't for the Su Yuan of Guanyuan City who set up a shed at the gate of the city to give porridge, and conspired with the government to fund the construction of Yishan Hall to accommodate orphans, he would have no way to live.

Fang Shi always remembered that winter.

In the second half of the night, the snow suddenly fell, and Yishan Hall was covered with snow, and he and other children gathered together in the cold to keep warm.

Just when they felt like they were going to freeze to death, the kind-looking man came against the wind and snow and brought them padded jackets and charcoal.

Then he instructed his mother-in-law to cook porridge, and when the porridge was ready, they sat together, holding hot porridge, and imagined the future.

He said at the time that he wanted to be a big official and stop letting people bully him...

The man was a little surprised, then rubbed his head and did not speak.

The next day, Mr. Teach came to Yishantang......

With his thoughts retracted, Fang Shi picked out the key points and said:

"Lingtang once built Yishan Hall, and this official is one of the people in Yishan Hall, and then Lingtang funded the imperial examination."

Su Mo hurriedly recalled the relevant memories, Guan Yuancheng did have a righteous and charitable hall.

Su's father once told the original owner that it was her third birthday, and she had a serious illness, and it was useless to see many doctors.

In the end, you can save people by getting the guidance of a master, building a tent to give porridge, building a righteous and charitable hall to adopt orphans, and accumulating merit for the original owner.

The last thing that Father Su lacked was money, so he immediately waved his hand and did what the master said.

After seven days of setting up a tent and giving porridge, the original owner really slowly recovered his health.

Seeing this, Su's father was immediately convinced that he was just trying, and not only adopted orphans, but also funded the cultivation of this group of orphans, so that they could have the ability to be self-reliant when they grow up.

It's just that Su Mo really didn't expect that there was such a coincidental thing in this world, and the lord of the county magistrate was actually a member of the righteous and benevolent hall built by the original owner's father.

The village chief was also shocked.

It was the first time he had heard Su Shi mention the situation of his mother's family in such detail.

Outside the staff, a special existence in the Dayong Dynasty.

There is no real power of the Zhengbapin official position, you can buy it for 50,000 taels of silver, and you need to pay a tribute of 10,000 taels of silver to the imperial court every year, and there is no restriction on continuing to do business, and the household registration is still a merchant, but the status is higher than that of ordinary merchants.

According to the law of the Dayong Dynasty, businessmen are not allowed to be examined for generations, their daughters are married outside, and their husbands are not allowed to be examined as officials.

However, if you donate to buy an extra-staff position, you will be given an exceptional place for her husband's scientific examination.
