There are 36 counties in Wubei County.

From Guobei County as the center, it extends to the north and south lines, a total of about 12 counties.

All the irrigation of agriculture in the twelve counties depends on a major river,

Linjiang River.

He nurtured the people of the twelve counties,

It never dried up,

There has never been a flood.

From the Bohai Sea, the Yellow River flows into the farmland of 10,000 households, bypassing the mountains and rocks.

Among them, this section that flows through Guobei County is the widest of all the basins of the Linjiang River.

The city in front of Guobei County is called Baoshan.

The city behind it is called Changning.

Due to the topography, the two narrowest sections of the Linjiang River, which flows through the twelve counties, flow through these two counties.

The city built in Guobei County, where the people live, the terrain is flat and slightly convex, and the city not far away is concave along the coast.

Divided by the river surface, the opposite side of the river is Linbei County, and the topography is exactly the same as Guobei County on the other bank, slightly convex, and the coast is subsided.

The wind rises, the sparkling light flickers, and the undulating ripples pass neatly from the surface of the river one by one.

The wind falls, the moon is in the sky, and the river shadows the moon.

If there is a fairy mansion, there seems to be a dragon palace.

The two counties across the river are like a pair of sides of this mirror,

The narrowness of the terrain at both ends appropriately controls the flow of water, leaving this quiet for a long time...

.......

Guobei County, Linjiang River

Literati, talented and beautiful.

The appearance of these elegant names and charms will never be separated from the company of beautiful scenery.

This Linjiang River is the beautiful scenery in the vicinity and even in the entire Wubei.

It is still the beauty of this river view, which is wonderful;

The seasons are different,

Warm and cold changes on the river,

The canvas is picturesque.

It happened to be winter, as the sun set early, the night had just fallen, and a piece of fireworks had already flashed on the surface of the river.

One by one, delicate and beautiful painting boats, lit with red candles and hung with colorful sails, slowly floated to the lake one after another from the shores of Guobei and Linbei counties, some were still slowly drifting, and some stopped on the water, swaying slightly with the water waves.

The man's voice, the woman's laughter, and the bustling voice came from everywhere, mingled, and finally twisted into one.

River breeze, candle flames, good days, beautiful scenery.

At this time,

People who watch and travel on both sides of the strait,

Composed a lively scene of the moonlit night of the wind and river.

In this scenario,

In the few places opened on both sides of the strait, there is already an endless stream of inns and wine shops with tourists and passers-by, and they have become even more lively.

"The light is even the candle, the moon shadow carries the river..."

The scholar wore the gray robe he had never seen him change into, and stood on the head of the bridge where the painting boats gathered.

Motionless looking at the scene on the river, the brilliant beauty of light was reflected in his eyes, colorful and gorgeous.

He was carrying his shabby bookcase with an oilcloth canopy that he hadn't seen for a long time.

The hanging sleeves on his side were being blown by the river breeze near the river at this time.

The people who walked together passed behind him in twos and threes.

Scholars are waiting for someone.

He's waiting to make a cut...

......

The time had come, just after three quarters

Looking at the fireworks on the river in front of him, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" The scholar's face didn't turn, and he said softly,

"Let's go. Miss Niu, who stood beside the scholar at some point, did not answer the scholar's words, turned her face slightly and glanced at the scholar.

The scholar followed behind Miss Niu,

The two of them got on a beautiful and delicate painting boat one after the other.

Resting on the edge of the lake was a small boat painted vermilion, with its ends slightly upturned, concave in the middle, and covered by a black canopy in the middle.

There was no place to sit in the canopy, only a low table and two cushions.

It was as if he had gone to call the stern of the boat, with his hat on his head, to sail. Miss Niu went out for a while, and when she came back, she was carrying a food box made of bamboo.

The scholar bent over, lowered his head, looked around, untied the bookcase, put it beside him, and sat down cross-legged.

After the scholar sat down, Miss Niu lit the oil lamp on the table with a fire breaker. Then he also knelt down, opened the food box placed next to him layer by layer, and placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of the scholar in turn.

Open the first layer and remove the flask.

Then came the second layer, where a few cold dishes and a little pastry were taken out at this time.

"Actually... I don't quite understand what I've done to keep you in the driver's seat. Looking at Miss Niu's movements on the other side, the scholar rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, and asked in a somewhat difficult and confused tone.

The woman didn't make any other movements, and there was no unusual fluctuation in her tone, but she gently lifted a bunch of hair on her face and looked at the scholar opposite,

"I know, you did nothing wrong,

Even you helped our family. ”

Speaking of this, Miss Niu paused slightly, the painting boat started, and as the captain deepened and shallow the bamboo pole in his hand, Miss Niu's body also shook slightly.

"One hand, then my father and that master started doing business..."

"I know that his business is in collusion with the owner of the title deed, to find someone to go directly to the owner's shop, and the next day when the guy and others come to work, and then kick the person out?"

The scholar interrupted Miss Niu's words, he knew about this matter, and the "Lu painter" who was unfavorable to himself for rushing to Guobei County was a victim in such a transaction.

in the girders

If people want to open a store in Fang City, they need to report to the government in advance, and there are different money number organizations between different districts. Before opening a store, you need to reach a consensus with these organizations, or a kind of surrender, so that you can get some protection and some related help.

The landowner holds the title deed, and the people need to negotiate with the owner of the title deed when building the shop, but the people can freely change the ownership of the shop.

Ma Ye took Lao Niu to do this kind of trading by exploiting loopholes, because the title deed and the shop are separate and independent, so as long as they can enter the store.

And if the owners of the title deeds do not report to the government, then they can take possession of those shops by this means and buy and sell them again to other business organizations.

Ma Ye is also quite cautious, and the shops he chooses are all shops that want to operate independently and refuse to organize "tribute" to those businesses.

In the end, they will use this to coerce and blackmail the store merchants.

Otherwise, they will sell some of the things in the store without permission before leaving.

......

Three years ago, that small county town

"How's it going?"

"We've already taken care of most of the merchants that don't belong to you. ”

"Did the government intervene?"

"The filial piety that should be dotted is done from top to bottom. ”

The person sitting on the Taishi's chair had not made any other sounds, but judging from his hand that was constantly tapping on the side of the chair, he was in a good mood.

"Where's the tail?"

"It's already on the old cow's ass. ”

"Thank you. ”

"It's all based on the wisdom of the master. ”

Although the person standing at the bottom said modest words, there was a faint pride in his expression.

He was dressed in white,

Standing straight,

There is a high-quality jade ornament hanging from the waist,

It was now in his right hand.

While talking,

His hands,

Constantly rubbing the engravings on it...
