Chapter 176: The Ancestral Tomb Spouts Fire
A stop at the county office.
Ji Gang is completely on fire.
The whole county knows that there is a big man in the local area.
In fact, Ji Gang only needs to take out the Jinyiwei token to show his identity.
But he had to wear a flying fish costume.
This operation made it difficult for him not to get angry.
What is the Flying Fish Suit?
The second product is served!
Ordinary people who don't know still think that Ji Gang is a second-grade Beijing official.
The second grade of Jingguan is equivalent to six books, what is the concept?
Ji Gang didn't care, his character is like this.
is unruly in his bones, bold and reckless, and likes to swagger.
There are two days left for the New Year, and there are joyful voices in Jijiazhuang all day long.
At this time, Ji Gang's house is not the dilapidated mansion in the past.
In just a few days, it has been completely renewed.
Craftsmen of all sizes in Linyi took the initiative to renovate the house for free.
There was a sound of gongs and drums.
"Master Ji!"
The largest gentry in Linyi County, Mrs. Zhang, came to visit Ji Gang in person.
Rao is old, at this time he threw down his crutches and trembled and bowed to Ji Gang.
Mrs. Zhang said that his father had a deep friendship with the late old lady of the Ji family.
also talked about the interesting story of the two families a hundred years ago, and the voice was choked up and sincere, and many people were in tears when they heard it.
Ji Gang was silent, just listening to the story.
A gentleman, he was not interested in the slightest.
Just yesterday, even the prefect of Jinan sent people to greet him.
Not to mention that in just a few days, the officials of the prefecture and county, Ji Gang have seen a lot.
He was filled with emotion in his heart.
It's a good feeling to be an official!
Not only are people visiting and giving gifts every day, but even his fiancΓ©e Li Bing'er regrets her marriage.
Wang Zhutou even became a perpetrator overnight and was imprisoned.
And all this, Ji Gang didn't say a word, it was all done by others.
Speaking of Ji Gang's marriage, there are many officials who say that they want to be matchmakers and introduce Miss Guanjia to Ji Gang.
They patted their chests and promised that they were better than Li Bing'er in terms of identity and appearance.
Ji Gang didn't buy it.
Being in officialdom, he naturally knows the benefits of marriage.
But Ji Gang insisted on marrying Li Bing'er, who had no identity background.
He only has one belief: "What I Ji Gang fancies, sooner or later, I will get it!" β
Just like that flying fish suit.
When Ji Gang first became a Jinyi guard, he fell in love with the flying fish suit on the commander Song Zhong, and felt that it was majestic, and he would have to get a set to wear it in the future.
Now that I have it, what is not beautiful is that this piece was given by someone else.
Sooner or later, he will be given his own conquest!
In the middle of his thoughts, Mrs. Zhang handed over a gift list, saying that it was the intention of the people, and he, as the representative of the gentry of Linyi, conveyed it on his behalf, asking the adults of Qianhu to accept it.
Ji Gang knew that this gift list was given by the Zhang family himself, and he used the people as an excuse, but he was just looking for a reason in front of people.
Ji Gang excused himself for a while, and then happily accepted the intention of the "people of Linyi".
Looking at the people surrounding the door, he walked steadily to the people, and said cordially: "Neighbors, this official will get married on the sixth day of the new year, and from today there will be a big banquet for eight days, and I invite all the neighbors to join ......."
He gushed endlessly, attracting pieces of applause, and the atmosphere was even stronger.
Ji Gang asked the old housekeeper to entertain these neighbors, and he held a banquet in the hall of his home to entertain the guests.
Linyi Zhixian is here again.
The newly built hall is large, and the tables and chairs are all new.
The hall was soon filled with the smell of food.
Big bowls of meat, big bowls of soup, the people are devouring them.
"Eat and drink well, everyone!"
Ji's mother looked a little nervous, afraid that she would behave inappropriately and say the wrong thing, and let others laugh behind her back.
At this time, the craftsman who was in charge of repairing Ji Gang's ancestral tomb hurriedly ran in.
"Master Ji, your ancestral tomb is breathing fire!"
The audience was stunned.
This was followed by envy.
Ji Gang's face was calm, and the short iron beard on his lips seemed to be much softer.
The green smoke from the ancestral tomb indicates that there is something good in the family, or that he has become a big official.
If this family encounters great luck, not to mention the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, it will simply breathe fire.
The ancestral tomb breathes fire, which has only been heard in rumors.
Now, the Ji family has actually achieved it!
Everyone smiled and congratulated Ji Gang.
Linyi Zhixian toasted again and again.
Even the ancestral grave is breathing fire, such a person is not worth wooing, who is worth wooing?
During the banquet, the magistrate used the wine to talk to Ji Gang about Wang Zhutou.
Ji Gang didn't know and said he didn't dare to be interested.
The magistrate smiled embarrassedly, and then found a topic and said, "Master Ji knows that the imperial court has recently issued an official document. β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
Ji Gang is very concerned about the affairs of the court.
As an intelligence officer, he needs to have all the useful information to respond to the inquiries of the imperial grandson.
Zhixian said: "The imperial court recently issued an order to emigrate from Shandong to Henan, and we also have a quota in Linyi County, 300 households." β
"The imperial court newspaper said that Henan Zhangde, Weihui, Guide, Shandong Linqing, Dongchang are all places, the soil is suitable for mulberry dates, the people are few and the land is favorable, and Li Ke, the governor of the military capital, is ordered to send a message to his people, and he is willing to give the migrants to the field."
Ji Gang frowned: "Don't you want to select three hundred households from our Su'an to immigrate to Henan?" β
The population of Linyi County is not large, but compared with Linqing and other places in Dongchang Province next door, Linyi has experienced less war in recent years, and the population is relatively stable.
The population of Su'andian is relatively large, and there are many poor people.
Most of the immigrants are targeted at places with a lot of poor people, and Jijiazhuang, which is known for its poverty, is the first to bear the brunt!
However, no one wants to leave, no matter how poor they are, they don't want to leave their homeland.
When the time comes, after the decree of the imperial court comes down, there is no telling how many people will come to the Ji family for help.
The magistrate said with a smile: "Originally, the above meant that I planned to immigrate 300 households to Guide Mansion, but because Lord Ji was here, some people who did not want to immigrate would inevitably let you come forward to make the decision, so Lord Prefect made adjustments." β
"How?" Ji Gang asked.
Zhixian said: "The 300 poor families in Linyi County only immigrated to Linqing County, Dongchang Prefecture next door, and did not go to Henan. β
Going to Linqing?
Ji Gang knew that Linqing was in the north and Beiping in the north and Jianghuai in the south, and occupied an important position in military and transportation aspects.
Therefore, in order to store and transfer grain, the imperial court built a grain storage here, and the granaries built were not only large in number, but also on a large scale.
In recent years, there have been many princes training in Linqing.
After the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the population of Linqing plummeted, and a large amount of land was barren.
Immigrate to Linqing, don't want to migrate?
Ji Gang's expression was solemn and majestic, and he said with a calm face: "What about Ji Jiazhuang?" Do you have to move them all out? β
Wouldn't this trip be in vain?
The magistrate said with a smile: "Master Ji misunderstood, Jijiazhuang will not move, no one will leave, and the quota of Jijiazhuang will be borne by Wangjiazhuang." β
Ji Gang was thoughtful.
I want to know that the county is selling favors!
There is also the Wangjiazhuang, where the king catches the head, most of the people in the village are members of the Wang family, all of them live a good life, and there are few poor people at all.
Ji Gang nodded silently and turned a blind eye to this matter.
A few days later, Ji Gang got married, and the scene was very lively.
Not only did the gentry of Linyi County gather, but even the prefect of Jinan came in person, and there were a series of officials who could not be named.
Compared with the bustle of the Ji family, the Linyi prison was lifeless.
Soon after, Wang Zhutou died in prison.
Said it was suicide.
