Qin Tao went to the provincial capital.

It's been seven days.

Xi Shuyun experienced the assassination incident, and she also made an overall improvement in the security of her home.

Try to avoid this from happening again.

News came from the county government.

It is said that Liu Sun, Ma Zhu and the four former landlords contracted the plague in the prison and died.

At this time, the people in ten miles and eight villages all knew Xi Shuyun's methods.

They don't understand it, but they just do.

Xi Shuyun acted like no one.

Take care of everything at home and outside the home.

Qin Tao came back on the thirteenth day.

He also received reliable information in the provincial capital.

The court sent the criminal department to do an autopsy on Fang Sheng's headless corpse.

Fang Sheng was killed by the soft sword.

According to a note left at the scene, the court decided the case.

It was said that the Yiren sent assassins to kill Fang Sheng, because Fang Sheng was the one who led the army in the last great victory in Hulu Valley.

Fang Sheng became a hero.

But he died.

Regarding Fang Sheng's case, it is reasonable.

He led his army to attack the Yiren, who held a grudge against him, so they sent men to kill him.

Everything falls into place.

Qin Tao returned home and heard about the affairs at home, as well as the details of Xi Shuyun's handling of things, and he praised Xi Shuyun as a woman.

Xi Shuyun leaned on his arms and said, "No matter how powerful I am, I can't give birth to a son for you, or you will take Xiaohong in." ”

Xiaohong said, "Madam, I'm still here!" You two hugged and hugged, and you also pulled me, so I don't want to give birth to a son for my lord. ”

"It's okay to have a daughter." Xi Shuyun said.

Xiaohong said again: "I still have something to do, you guys should make love." ”

Qin Tao was not prepared to take a concubine for the time being, but he also asked a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe a few doses of Chinese medicine for Xi Shuyun, all of which were to treat women's infertility.

The next day, Qin Tao began to write a letter to Zhu Wenzheng.

This was handed over to Qin Tao and only wrote a letter to Zhu Wenzheng.

In the letter, Qin Tao was earnest, saying that Zheng Lun had been in office for half a year and had put the county's governance in order.

It not only solved the problem of imperial grain and military rations, but also changed the original land relationship.

The tenants had their own land, and they were more motivated, and the seedlings in their fields were stronger than in previous years.

There is also Zheng Lun's tenure for about half a year, and the mountain bandits who were completely exterminated did not use a single soldier.

In the letter, Qin Tao praised Zheng Lun's advantages as the icing on the cake, and finally mentioned that Zheng Lun was once a two-list jinshi, because he had no connections, so he waited at home for decades before he became a small magistrate.

He also said that Zheng Lun was a capable person who was loyal to the court and the emperor.

At the end, Qin Tao mentioned Fang Sheng's matter, implying that the position of governor was vacant, and Fang Sheng was the best candidate.

The letter was sent.

Qin Tao's letter was in duplicate.

He fulfilled his promise to Zheng Lun, and he had to leave a little evidence.

When he was drinking with Zheng Lun again, Qin Tao took out the original copy of the letter.

After Zheng Lun saw it, he quietly retreated.

After the people withdrew, Zheng Lun first stood up, then his knees weakened, and he knelt in front of Qin Tao.

"Qin Tao, there is nothing to repay for your great kindness, when you need it in the future, just open your mouth."

"There is also the identity of Zhu Dahai and others, if I can really become the governor, the first thing is to give them the identity of farmers."

Qin Tao knew that if he opened his mouth to Zheng Lun in the future, unless he was invincible, if he fell into Pingyang, it would be impossible to find him Zheng Lun to do things.

Between people, most of them are like this.

As long as you are strong, others are naturally willing to help.

If you're a piece of trash, others don't bother to look at you.

After Qin Tao took care of everything.

He returned home.

The distillery business is booming, the blacksmith shop is clanging, and the two villages are becoming more and more prosperous.

Every family does not hate eating and drinking.

The man who runs the family has already begun to renovate his small yard.

Qin Tao personally presided over the planning of the two villages.

He wanted to make the streets more uniform, and he wanted to give four horse-drawn carriages side by side.

A month after the beginning of winter, Zheng Lun received a holy decree asking him to go to the county government to take over the post of governor.

The day before he left, he took his daughter Zheng Ling to Qin Tao's house.

The gift pulled a wagon.

Zheng Ling didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay, saying that she liked the scenery here.

In fact, everyone knows that Zheng Ling is just reluctant to be alone.

As long as Qin Tao opened his mouth to reveal a little bit of his intention to keep her, Zheng Ling would stay desperately.

It's just that Qin Tao didn't do that.

Didn't say anything like that.

The Zheng family is gone.

Zheng Lun proposed that Qin Tao should take over the post of magistrate.

Qin Tao refused.

"Uncle Lun, you can go to be your governor with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about my affairs! If you dare to mention me as the magistrate, I will get you down. ”

Zheng Lun knew that Qin Tao had that kind of means.

He was also sure that Qin Tao had no intention of becoming an official, and just wanted to be his free little rich man.

Qin Tao sent Zheng Lun away.

In the days that followed, the planning of the two villages was on the agenda.

The day after the village was built.

A stranger came to the village, a shrewd businessman, who came to the town to sell dates with a wheelbarrow.

Although the village is adjacent to the mountains and there are many forests in the village, there are no date trees in the area.

In less than an hour, the dates in the car were sold out.

The jujube dealer saw a business opportunity.

So he rented a storefront in the village, and after a simple renovation, he drove an ox cart to the village again on the eighth day.

This time, he pulled a cart of higher-quality red dates.

The sacks were neatly arranged on the ox cart, on which sat a few children speaking in a foreign dialect, and on the wheel sat a dignified-looking woman, who was the wife and children of a merchant.

High-quality jujubes, which are sold by merchants at a low price.

There is no shortage of catties and short two, no pit customers, and there are rotten dates that can be returned.

The people of the village are simple, and none of them came to exchange dates, and said that the merchants brought them great convenience, and the women who ate red dates were more ruddy.

A cart of dates sold out quickly.

The merchant drove away with the ox-cart, and when he returned, he brought not only the same quality of dates, but also a tailor.

The tailor is a lame man, but he is ingenious.

He will make clothes like clouds.

As a result, the people in the village, both adults and children, wore new clothes without the New Year.

The children of the jujube merchant family also mingled with the children of the village, and gradually forgot the dialect they spoke when they came, and spoke the local dialect fluently.

The winery and blacksmith shop, with the help of Zhu Dahai, moved to the foot of the mountain, which was far away from the village.

The people of the village no longer have to smell the sour smell of sake lees, and they no longer have to sleep at night listening to the clanging of blacksmiths.

The development of the village only began inadvertently.

Qin Tao and Xi Shuyun didn't know when the two sides of the village street had been full of shops.
