Chapter 177: Offsetting merits and demerits

Seeing Wu Daozi and his father cold, Ying Bao hurriedly said, "Uncle Wu, I came today because I want to tell you something. ”

Wu Daozi turned his head to look at her: "What's the matter?" ”

"Didn't our village plant golden fungus, I want to give our village's golden fungus the name of Qinchuan County's specialty."

"Specialty?" Wu Daozi skimmed the foam with the lid of the tea bowl and nodded approvingly: "This is a good idea." ”

He had eaten the golden fungus given by Sakurabao, and he felt very good, and if he called it a local specialty, it would be well deserved.

Sakura continued, "So I'm going to buy a shop in the county town that specializes in selling local products. ”

Wu Daozi raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup and asked, "Are you going to run the shop yourself or rent it to others?" ”

"I want my second cousin to run it." Sakura said: "He's very good at this. ”

Not to mention, the second cousin made a lot of money by selling gourds and water chestnuts last year, which is no worse than the hard work of planting golden fungus.

Wu Daozi said: "The law of this dynasty decrees that if there is one person in a household who is in business, the whole family will be classified as a merchant in the future, can you think clearly?" As he spoke, his gaze swept over Jiang Saburo.

Sakura and Daddy were taken aback, and quickly shook their heads: "No, I didn't think it through." ”

I didn't expect that buying a shop would affect the whole family, and if I turned my own farmers into merchants, I wouldn't do it.

The merchant is a lowly person, and her children and grandchildren are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and she still wants her younger brother to become a big official in the future, how can she ruin his future because of a shop.

Seeing that the little doll looked nervous, Wu Daozi smiled: "However, it's not that there is no solution." ”

Sakura's eyes widened suddenly, "What's the solution?" ”

"You can buy a shop, but the operator must be someone else."

Wu Daozi slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and saw that the father and daughter looked ignorant, so he had to mention: "That is, you can hire a shopkeeper to run the business of the store." ”

Can it still be like this? Sakura Po was surprised.

Wu Daozi is worthy of being Wu Daozi, his temperament is the same as in his previous life, and he is a dignified county magistrate who actually teaches Mao children how to exploit the loopholes of the law.

Ying Bao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he clenched his hands into fists like his father: "Thank you Uncle Wu for mentioning it." ”

Wu Daozi smiled but did not speak.

Mr. Wu did not show any surprise at his son's approach, he only sat quietly and observed the father and daughter opposite.

Jiang Saburo's face is honest, but his eyes are clear.

The little girl's words and deeds are not as ignorant as a few years old, and her gestures seem to be innocent, but they are all cunning and shrewd that only adults have.

It's an incredible family.

Wu Rui came over with a plate of washed peaches and rested it on the stone table in front of Wu Daozi.

Wu Daozi picked up a fresh peach and handed it to the old man, and he picked a red peach and took a bite, which was sweet and refreshing.

"Yes, this early peach was also planted by your family?"

"Yes, I also grow grapes and peppers." Ying Bao came to the spirit at this time and talked to Wu Daozi about his own affairs.

Mr. Wu on the side was very surprised when he heard this, "You also planted grapes and pepper?" ”

"Hmm." Ying Bao saw that Mr. Wu was polite and bookish, and then thought that Wu Daozi was from a good background, and couldn't help but look at the old gentleman with admiration. "When the grapes are ripe, I'll pick some for Uncle Wu and Grandpa Wu to taste."

"Sakura-chan has a heart, the county seat is quite far from your home, it's not easy to come once, right?" Old Man Wu asked with a smile.

"It's very easy, my family bought a yard in the county seat, and my younger brother will come here to study in the second half of the year, and he will go back and forth often in the future." Sakura Treasure Road.

"Your brother?" Mr. Wu looked at Yingbao, but he was only four or five years old, so how old was her brother, and he was going to come to the county seat to study?

Sakura Bao smiled and said, "My brother is almost five years old, and he is so smart that he can already write the entire three-character scripture with a hundred family names and a thousand characters. ’

"Oh?" When Mr. Wu heard that a four-year-old child could write so many entire articles silently, he couldn't help but be curious. "Then bring him over to me the next time you go into the city."

"Okay."

Seeing that he was almost finished, Ying Bao pulled out a bag of golden fungus from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Mr. Wu, "This is the golden fungus grown by my family, which can nourish the body and replenish qi, you must try it." ”

Mr. Wu is thin and weak, and his complexion is not very good, maybe his golden ear will help him a little, but the elderly can't add sugar to eat this thing, otherwise it will backfire.

"Grandpa Wu, it's best not to add caramel when you eat it, the effect will be better." Sakura advised.

Mr. Wu smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Sakura, next time you come, Grandpa Wu will also give you something." ”

At this time, Wu Rui hurriedly ran over, holding a burden in his arms.

In the baggage were children's toys he had just bought from outside, as well as some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Mr. Wu handed the burden to Yingbao, "This is a small toy given to you by the old man, take it and play with it." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Wu." Sakura Bao gladly took the burden.

Wu Shi asked: "Yingbao, are you going to buy a shop now?" ”

Ying Bao nodded: "Yes, I just don't know where there is a shop for sale." ”

"The shops to be sold will be registered in the dental store, you and Wu Rui will go to the dental store to find out." Wu Shi said.

"That's great. Let's take a look. ”

Ying Bao and Daddy got up to say goodbye to Wu Daozi and the old man.

Seeing off the father and daughter of the Jiang family, Wu Lao sighed: "This little baby is really smart, Jiulang, you should also become a family, and if you have such a child in the future, your mother and I can laugh even if we go underground." ”

Wu Shi didn't say anything, picked up another peach and ate it.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Wu Lao knew that he didn't like to hear these words, so he turned to ask: "What did the Fucheng side say about the bandits last year?" ’

Wu Shi smiled: "The merits and demerits are compensated." ”

A year ago, Wang Taishou sent a letter to him, telling himself that although the source of the bandits was not in Qinchuan County, it had caused a lot of impact on the surrounding counties and townships.

Therefore, even if he tried his best to resist the bandits, not only was he not commended, but he was also reprimanded and warned by the state government Taishou, but fortunately he had discovered the credit of cotton transporting cotton seeds before, so he would not be demoted or dismissed.

It's a shame to say that Sakura told him about this cotton. Wu Shi accepted a favor from a female doll indirectly.

Wu Lao was silent for a moment and patted his son's shoulder: "It's a blessing in this way." ”

He glanced at the two baskets of fruits and said with a smile: "Qinchuan County is not useless, that little doll's hometown is very good, as long as you support it a little, you will definitely be able to pass the merit assessment at the end of the year." ”

Wu Shi laughed at himself: "Don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault." "He really can't adapt to this officialdom.

Even the small county officials have all kinds of intrigues, the lord is thin, and the county lieutenants have their own thoughts, and they can't wait for their county order to be removed as soon as possible, so that they can monopolize power.

In that crackdown on bandits, the county lieutenant Yin and Yang violated, so that the number of rogues gradually increased, and finally more than 2,000 people were entangled to besiege the county seat. Fortunately, I coped with it early and sent a letter to my friend's son asking for help, so that the disaster was prevented.

He was afraid when he thought about that banditry.

Once the county seat is breached, not only the people of the county will suffer, but their own family will be implicated.

Later, his old father rushed all the way to Qinchuan County despite his old age and frailty, just to help his unfilial son.

Wu Shi held his forehead, feeling that what he had done as an official was both a scumbag and a shame.

He was almost thirty years old, and his sixty-year-old father came to take care of him.

Wu Lao glanced at his son, and suddenly said: "After a while, your mother and your aunt will also come over, and your aunt will take your cousin to Jianglin and pass by here, and you will have to receive it well when the time comes." ”
