After a day's work outside, Xiao Wan finalized the location of the bank and arranged the purchase of gold and silver and the work of building momentum in the early stage of the acquisition.

But after returning to the county office, her heart suddenly became worried.

She didn't know if the parrot said it, she didn't know if the young master heard it, and she didn't know how the young master would react if he heard it.

"Butler Xiaowan is back."

Huzi, who was petting a raccoon cat, saw Xiao Wan and shouted happily.

"Well, is the young master in the backyard?"

Xiao Wan asked.

Huzi said: "The lord is now in the main hall, and Director Wu of the Road Administration Department came to find the lord today." ”

"Oh."

Xiao Wan responded, thought for a while and asked, "Huzi, you will be almost 12 in the new year, do you want to go to school?" ”

"I think that's good."

Huzi really thinks that it is good to show the old man the door, and the people who come and go are some noble people, and these people respect him very much, which makes him feel very useful. Moreover, he is not tired every day, before the sugar man Pei also gave him a small flower cat, and he also brought Chengguan Town, and there are cats as companions every day.

Xiao Wan stretched out her index finger and shook it: "No, you are also the son of the Ren Mansion, the mansion will not treat you badly, and you can't be a disciple for the rest of your life."

Otherwise, go to school to learn literature, or learn martial arts in the martial arts hall, or go to the army to exercise, you think about it yourself, and I will ask you in a few days. ”

After Xiao Wan finished speaking, she hurried into the courtyard.

A child like Huzi, who followed his mother into Renfu when he was a teenager, has a natural affinity for Renfu, and he is a disciple to usher in a good brain, so it is necessary to cultivate it well.

Xiao Wan took a detour and quietly went to the county yazheng hall, stood on tiptoe outside, quietly looked inside, and saw that the young master was still chatting with Wu Qiong, so she quietly ran away.

In the main hall, Ren Pingsheng was very happy.

Wu Qiong was an official under Ren Pingsheng, but after all, there was a family behind him, which also represented the interests of the gentry class.

Until now, he finally took the lead in a showdown with him, fully surrendered to Ren Pingsheng, and expressed his full support for the policies introduced by the Yamen.

At the same time, there are several families in the county who have taken the head of the Wu family and multiplied for more than ten generations, and they have also taken refuge in his Ren Pingsheng, willing to hand over the land annexed over the years, and only leave the family's basic land according to the number of family heads.

These are the wealthy families who have really entrenched in Qingshui County for many years, and with the refuge of these people, Ren Pingsheng did not use his sword soldiers, and immediately collected most of the fertile land and population of Qingshui County.

It also brought a good start for the implementation of future policies.

However, this also means that the inventory of land and population has entered the stage of all-round tackling. The rest are the hardest bones!

"Director Wu is loyal to the righteousness, knows the general situation, and should be an example for the gentry of Qingshui."

Ren Pingsheng praised and said.

In Qingshui County's inventory operation, most of the confiscated fields were hidden fields that were not recorded by the government. These landed properties with official land deeds were not collected for nothing, and Ren Pingsheng also gave away a lot of benefits, but this interest could not completely fill the value of the land in terms of short-term gains, and these gentry who took refuge were considered to have sacrificed some of their own interests.

"The lord praised it falsely, if it weren't for the lord to keep Qingshui County, Qingshui would have been conquered by the rebels, and we are afraid that we are the same as other counties, and we are being persecuted by those Northern Anhui rebels!

I think those old-fashioned old stubborns just don't know how to advance and retreat, and they don't know how to be grateful! ”

Wu Qiong was very disgusted when she talked about those diehards.

In this case, still guarding the one-third of an acre, it is obvious that he can't see the situation clearly, and he has to draw a clear line with this kind of person, and he will have to splash his own blood if he is unlucky one day!

The Wu family has now been fully transformed, a large amount of money cashed out, invested in the textile industry, just textile factories, garment factories, garment workshops, opened a few, now the money into the account, than planting tens of thousands of acres of land can be much faster! Most of the gentry who took refuge with him also opened factories and workshops.

Their transformation has also stepped on the accelerator for the industrial and economic development of Qingshui County.

Ren Pingsheng personally sent Wu Qiong to the door of the back house, which flattered Wu Qiong.

"Peony, go and ask Liu Shu and Liu Qiang to come over for the banquet in the evening."

Ren Pingsheng said to Peony.

"Yes."

Peony responded, and Fuli stepped back.

"All command the envoys······ Next, we must open a government and build teeth, make good use of this name, and then recruit talents, expand land, and beg for grain and grass. ”

Ren Pingsheng was reading a book in the main hall, and his heart was rarely calm.

The Qingshui gentry led by the Wu family suddenly took refuge, and it is impossible to say that the name of "Governor" also played a role.

"Huhu~"

At night, suddenly a strong wind blew, and the windows were rattled, and even the moon was blocked by dark clouds.

"Master, it's changed outside."

Forgetting the book hurriedly came in from outside, bringing in the cold air of the storefront. She held a black big hat in her hand, and saw Ren Pingsheng standing at the door, draping the big hat on his body.

It's fluffy, but it's warm.

"It's out of the way."

Ren Pingsheng's kung fu practice has been until now, and it has long been cold and summer, and all diseases are gone. There is nothing to fear about the cold wind in this winter.

"Master, the kitchen has prepared the meal, just waiting for the feast."

Forget the book and said: "In addition, Director Liu and General Liu are here. ”

"Hmm."

Ren Pingsheng took a big breath and stepped into the black and cold wind. At this time, it also rained in the sky, and the face was cold and cold, mixed with snow particles.

The night was silent, except for the faint glow of the lantern on the porch, illuminating the hallway. Forget the book and follow behind Ren Pingsheng, walk through the long corridor, pass through several moon gates, and finally arrive at the restaurant.

"Lord!"

Liu Qiang and Liu Shu were already standing under the eaves of the door and waiting, and when they saw Ren Pingsheng coming, they hurriedly took a few steps forward and said.

"Qiangzi, Shishu, we haven't had a banquet together for a while."

Ren Pingsheng walked into the restaurant and reached out to wash his hands in the copper basin held by the maid.

It's not cold or hot, and the water temperature is just right.

After the three of them sat down, the maids began to serve the food, and the restaurant, which had been cold, soon became warm.

When the wine is warmed, the whole body suddenly feels warm.

"Shishu, when I first went to Qingcheng, the lord took you to practice martial arts, but you didn't go, you look at the thickest you wear today, and the most ruthless cold."

Liu Qiang said jokingly.

"Alas, now that I'm busy with official business, I don't have time to practice martial arts."

Speaking of this, Liu Shu also felt regretful.

"Time is like water in a sponge, there is still something to squeeze it."

Ren Pingsheng said encouragingly.

Liu Shu immediately said: "Then when I go back and have free time, I will try it too." ”

"That's right."

Ren Pingsheng praised it, and then said: "I still remember that when we just came out of Liujia Village, we just had a few knives.

Now that you have saved this family business, you have made great contributions, and although you are busy with official business, you cannot ignore your body. ”

"Thank you for your concern."

The two hurriedly said.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the two of them, and suddenly smiled: "You are all meritorious heroes, if it weren't for you, where would there be Qingshui County now?" ”

"We don't dare to take credit, if we don't have the lord to grasp the direction, where can we achieve such results?"

Liu Qiang and Liu Shu hurriedly waved their hands and said.

"Yes, full of losses, humble benefits. Now at the beginning of our business, we must guard against greed and rashness, and maintain an open heart, so as to move forward bravely. ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded and put the topic on the right track: "Now, since the imperial court has rewarded us and won the position of commander of the capital, we have more room to maneuver. ”

In the past two days, I have been busy with work, and I have consumed a few chapters of manuscripts, which makes me a little anxious again. I just feel that I can't go on for a day in this forced shift.
