Chapter 240: Remorse
"It's... How could it be ......"
Seeing a few young people dressed as officials not far from the village gate, Yue Qingqing was instantly stunned.
But Brother Da Dong didn't plan to let her go, pointed to the young people, and said proudly: "Have you seen those adults?" Look at the official robe, look at the hat, is it majestic?! They are the court officials sent by Lord Lu to wait for a few of us to find my brother back! You don't think they're the ones we ordinary people can move, do you? ”
No matter how legally illiterate they are, they know that ordinary people must not wear official robes or clothes similar to official robes, and they can't sing operas, otherwise it will be an absolute capital crime.
There is no stupid person in this world who is stupid enough to risk death to wear an official robe.
Therefore, there is no need to doubt the identity of those people.
Realizing this, Yue Qingqing only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body gradually began to weaken.
In her mind, she finally clearly realized that Chu, who she looked down on, the poor boy who could not be an official at all, was very likely to be really favored by the court official surnamed Lu.
It's going to be developed!
And... The matter of the coal is also very likely to be true!
She had heard Yue Dashan say that after the Chu family moved to Montenegro, they were given a full seventy acres of land!
Before, she laughed at the Chu family's worthlessness, but now......
Fifty dollars a stone!
Even if Chu is not favored by the big guys, just those charcoal in the ground are enough for Chu to have fine clothes and food for a lifetime, leaving thousands of family fortunes for future generations!
Thinking of this, her intestines almost repented.
I even thought in my heart, why did this government come to purchase coal so late! Why don't you come over a few days earlier?!
Now that the marriage book is gone, no matter how developed the Chu family is, it has nothing to do with her, an outsider.
Although her brother Niu is good, no matter how good he is, he is just a mud leg, how can he be compared to Chubi, who has a promising future and a lot of money?
At this moment, Yue Qingqing's eyes when he looked at Chu completely changed.
“… Brother... I ......"
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Chu, but Brother Da Dong and the others didn't give her a chance, and directly scolded angrily: "Stinky woman! You still have the face to call your brother?! ”
"You and your father have come to the door to withdraw from the marriage, what qualifications do you have to call your brother? Do you still have a little shame as a man? ”
"You stinky woman is scathing, my brother doesn't care about you, that's because my brother is a great talent that Lord Lu likes, he is generous and broad-minded, adults don't remember villains, if you are a little ashamed, get out of here, don't be an eyesore here, and block my brother and Bao'er's sister!"
"When my brother's family was in trouble, when Uncle Chu went out of the funeral, you didn't even see a shadow, and then you came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and now you see that your brother is developed, so you want to rush over? I've never seen someone as brazen as you! ”
"The son is not ugly, the dog is not poor, you are not as good as a dog!"
"Get out of here!"
A few people, as soon as you say a word to me, Yue Qingqing will be red-faced at once.
Chu Bao'er listened to it on the sidelines, and she really couldn't see that Brother Dadong, who was very honest and honest on weekdays, could say such relieving words.
Seeing Yue Qingqing's red and white face, Chu Bao'er only felt comfortable, and subconsciously wanted to scold a few words, but Chu glanced at her and signaled her not to join in the fun, so she reluctantly pressed the thoughts in her heart.
Then Chu didn't look at Yue Qingqing, who couldn't say a word at this time, and after stopping Da Dongge and the others a little, he walked towards the entrance of the village as usual.
Looking at Chu's back as he walked away, Yue Qingqing's eyes gradually turned red, and his heart was so sad that he could hardly breathe.
With the frequent visits to Montenegro by officials from the Ministry of Households, the Department of Heavenly Works, and the Ministry of Industry, Montenegro, which was originally hated and hated, suddenly became extremely eye-catching.
Soon, the news that the imperial court was going to put into production and build a factory near Montenegro and buy local charcoal at a price of fifty yuan and one stone came out, and for a while, the whole county was in an uproar.
Almost all the people in Taihe County who heard the news were dumbfounded.
"In other words, those who moved to Taihe County are all developed?"
In front of a stall selling dumplings, an old man who recalled the various welfare policies established by Gu Simiao when he was closed subconsciously opened his mouth and asked his companion opposite.
And the companion sitting opposite him had an inexplicably unnatural face at this time.
Like Yue Dashan, he has a daughter who has only recently repented of her marriage, but the difference is that the reason why his daughter regretted her marriage was caused by himself.
Immediately after, before he could speak, another person sitting next to him said with envy: "It must be developed!" Each of their households was divided into at least dozens of acres of land, and the grandfather also made a rule, what kind of income tax will be collected from the fief in the future, this tax is much lower than the tax of the imperial court, and the tax money will be used to benefit the people of the city, not only will the grandfather not compete with the people for profit, but also will not levy labor, even the construction of roads and other big projects, the grandfather pays out of his own pocket to recruit workers, and also gives each person a few taels of settlement fees! ”
He counted Gu Simiao's maverick new policy in the fiefdom, and as he spoke, he was indeed about to salivate in the end.
Originally, Gu Simiao's benevolent government was meaningless no matter how good it was, after all, the fief was a wasteland in Montenegro, and it was destined to not last long.
But if there is value in mining coal, it will be different!
When the imperial court announced that it was going to buy charcoal, Montenegro became a treasure land, and the benevolent government established by Gu Simiao was magnified in an instant at this moment, and the people of Montenegro also became the envy of countless people.
"Alas, I knew that the charcoal could be sold for money, my grandfather is so benevolent and righteous, and he is so good to the fiefdom and food, what kind of mutual aid food did Lao Tzu pay at the beginning? Even if you pay the money to go to Montenegro, Lao Tzu is willing! ”
This is purely an afterthought.
If he could predict the prophet, he would have already had the capital to go to Yixiangyuan to prostitute himself and lose contact, so why would he have to work hard for the uncles in the county like now.
However, hearing him say this, the face of the man next to him became even more ugly.
"Alas, the world is impermanent, who would have thought that those poor ghosts who have no money to give each other food would be a blessing in disguise, and there was a day when the salted fish turned over, and they turned it so thoroughly."
The man who spoke at first was quite emotional.
"Hey~ who said it wasn't?"
Another person answered.
"And what kind of factory does the imperial court want to build in Montenegro, it will definitely have to be conscripted and sent to labor, so that the people of Taihe County will go to Montenegro to work, alas, it is hard!"
At this moment, although they knew that what the person was talking about was an afterthought, everyone still couldn't help but think that if they hadn't smashed the pot and sold iron land to give mutual aid to each other's grain, but let the government send them to Montenegro to serve as a food for the people of Taihe County, it would be great.
Now not only did they not reap any benefits, but they could be conscripted into labor by the imperial court at any time, and at that time, the villagers living in Montenegro could eat mutual aid grain and count the money given by the government to buy coal, while watching them work hard.
Thinking of this miserable future, they couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Such a scene is constantly being staged in Taihe County at this time, regardless of whether there is a divorce or not, but at this time, they are beating their chests and regretting.
The opportunity for development is obviously in front of everyone, but they don't grasp it, and they can only watch those poor sours who were looked down on by them before pick up such a big bargain.
This feeling is worse than losing money!
And the most uncomfortable thing is the wealthy family in Taihe County except for Zhao Dafu's family.
Boom!
In the Li family's compound, a loud noise suddenly came out.
Immediately afterward, there was another crisp sound of things being smashed.
Through the shadow of the window, it can be clearly seen that Li Zhiping inside is going crazy, constantly smashing the things inside.
"Damn... Damn it!! ”
A roar full of grievances and unwillingness continued to sound, frightening the faces of the surrounding people like chaff, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that one would be bad and be angered by the angry Li Zhiping.
The loud noise naturally attracted the attention of all the Li family, but no one dared to come over to persuade them.
Of course, they knew why Li Zhiping was furious.
The source of everything lies in the Lin family, and in Lin Yi, the contemporary head of the Lin family.
You must know that Gu Simiao's division of land is according to the capitation, the Lin family has a big business, even after turmoil, there are still a lot of clansmen, so the Lin family was allocated a thousand acres of land in Montenegro, to say the least.
1,000 acres of land, with the current market of coal, the Lin family can rise again just by selling the wealth of coal!
Even in the near future, relying on the wealth of the sky and the power of the prince of Taihe County, the Lin family will be able to overwhelm all the families in Taihe County and return to the position of the first family like Old Man Lin did when he was young.
Now that the Li family has vaguely occupied this position, how can Li Zhiping, as the head of the family, be willing?
But what if you are unwilling, your arms can't reach your thighs, even Li Yongcheng, a county dignitary with strength and background, was crushed to death by Lu Chen and Gu Simiao, what can he do, a small family head?
And I heard that Lu Chen also sent someone to find Lin Yi, threw an olive branch to Lin Yi, and climbed the high branch of the first celebrity in the dynasty, Lin Yi's future is simply unlimited, once Lin Yi gains momentum, the Lin family will rise to the sky is just around the corner.
But he stopped his daughter from going to Lin Yi at the beginning, missed the opportunity to send charcoal in the snow, and directly asked Zhao Dafu to pick up the leak.
Li Zhiping has always been pretentious, in the face of successive changes and setbacks, in the face of repeated failures and his daughter's complaints, how can he not be angry and angry?
But now it's useless to say anything.
Whether it is the Li family or other wealthy families, they can only watch as the Lin family, which had obviously declined before, took advantage of this shareholder wind to rise again.
At this moment, the heads of the families in Taihe County, how can they not have a trace of remorse? (End of chapter)
