The sun shone warmly on the green rice seedlings, which grew well, green, and the wind blew like undulating waves.

In the fields, farmers are busy weeding and killing insects, and at the end of the fields, at the foot of the mountain, there is a newly built house, which is quite simple. Surrounding the many houses is a criss-crossing foundation that looks like a chessboard carved into it, outlining unique lines.

Only the foundation, and some long strips of polished bluestone, which were quarried from the mountains, were very strong, and were very suitable for building village docks.

The stone reserves on the mountain are abundant, but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to mine them and polish them into strips.

To put it bluntly, it takes a lot of money.

Zhou Hezhi has no money on hand.

At the beginning, Chen Sanlang went to Beijing to take the exam, leaving a sum of money and letting Lao Zhou be responsible for presiding over the development of the foundation. This is a money-burning job, and no matter how much he calculates and is thrifty, the amount of money that can be spent is still flowing like water, and he can't stop it.

It is far from expected to be able to persist to this day.

There is no money, and the construction of the village dock can only be put on hold for the time being. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Lao Zhou is so worried these days that his brows are tightly locked, and he can't break the entanglement.

There is no money, and a large amount of manpower is owed. Although the workers had no complaints, Zhou He clearly understood in his heart that this was because of Chen Sanlang.

Chen Sanlang was admitted to Xie Yuan, and his fame was revealed, which was enough to calm the scene. Many tenants, relatives and friends of the Chen family, etc., attached themselves to seek shelter from tax exemption. It can be said that Chen Sanlang is a big umbrella that can shelter from the wind and rain, so everyone gathers.

This is a very realistic prerequisite.

Gathering people is equivalent to gathering energy and gathering people's hearts, is it something that can be easily done? In addition to the unique personality charm, it is also necessary to have the financial strength to support people. In the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was born in poverty, and the reason why he was able to rise in the early stage was inseparable from Zhang Fei's family wealth.

Most of the famous families have gone through the hard work of several generations before they become large-scale, and Chen Sanlang is just a newcomer, and it is too simple to think about achieving a career. At that time, Lao Zhou, Mr. Yang and others also persuaded Chen Sanlang to take a smaller step and slowly figure it out.

However, Chen Sanlang didn't listen, and only vaguely said, "Time is not waiting for me".

Zhou Hezhi didn't think too much, he felt that the son was young and proud, full of ambition, and eager to succeed. However, since you have chosen to follow, do your best, and die, what is the way to pay for this?

The money is exhausted, and the spring ploughed rice is in the growing season, far from being able to be harvested, and the next period of time will be difficult. If you can't see money for too long, the people below will inevitably fluctuate. can suppress the hearts of the people, only hope that the son can go well in the imperial examination, pass the examination in one go, and get the jinshi.

Thinking of "Jinshi's fame", his heart was faintly warm: who doesn't want to rise to the top of the world's cold soldiers? It's a pity that he doesn't have such a chance in this life......

Wow!

Suddenly, someone rushed over, panting, and shouted from afar: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, it's not good!"

Zhou Hezhi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lord Nalu is here again, and he is ...... with a large group of people."

Hearing this, Zhou Hezhi's tightly knit brows couldn't help but deepen again: During this period of time, this county lord didn't have much of a good face for the Chen family, and he sent people over to pick up thorns in the first two days, and every time he came, he had to spend a fee to knock people away.

In this regard, Zhou Hezhi was not bothered, he once ran to the yamen to ask to see the other party, knocking on the side, wanting to find out some words.

However, Lord Lu didn't give face to him at all, and even scolded him in front of him and ordered someone to drive him out.

Zhou Hezhi's face was gloomy, and he never understood the trickiness: I think that at the beginning, Chen Sanlang greeted this county lord, and since then, the other party has turned a blind eye to the Chen family's exhibition, and also gave a lot of policy auxiliary support, and specially allowed them to reclaim a large amount of wasteland, which can be developed into such a scale in a short period of time......

Well, the situation has changed dramatically. The county government has shifted from support to finding fault, and the situation has taken a sharp turn, which is not good.

As the saying goes: "Break the prefect of the house, destroy the county order", if the county is really not dealt with and is in trouble, it will be difficult. Although it is said that Chen Sanlang won the lift, he is not a jinshi after all, and the gap is big.

Zhou Hezhi is not a pedantic person, he knows that there is a thorn Lord standing behind Lord Lu, a behemoth. Can it be inferred that the change in Lord Lu's face represents a change in Yuan Wenchang's attitude towards Chen Sanlang?

Most likely.

Thinking like this, my heart can't help but feel cold.

Seeing Zhou Hezhi standing dumbfounded with an ugly face, the person who made the announcement couldn't help but urge: "Mr. Zhou, you better go over and take a look." ”

Zhou Hezhi came back to his senses and waved his hand: "Go." ”

When I walked out, I saw a team of officials running around a soft sedan chair. When he arrived, he stopped, and out of the sedan chair came Lord Lu, who was dressed in an official uniform.

Zhou Hezhi hurriedly greeted him and bowed his hand: "The student has seen the old parents, but I don't know that the old parents are coming today, and they have missed the welcome, please forgive me." ”

I was quite frightened in my heart, most of the officials used to come to point fingers and find faults, and they were all tired of coping, but now that the county lord has come in person, doesn't it mean that the situation is even more out of control?

"Haha, no need to be polite. ”

Lord Lu smiled lovely, as if a flower had bloomed on his face, and Zhou He was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he welcomed him into the room, invited him to a seat, and served fragrant tea.

Lord Lu coughed dryly, and suddenly asked, "Is the old lady of the Chen family here?"

Zhou Hezhi replied respectfully: "Yes, the student will let people invite the old lady to come." ”

Since the last accident, Chen Wang and Xiaocui have followed the advice of Xiaoyao Fudao and moved outside the county seat to live in Xiaoyaoguan.

In this matter, Xiaoyao Fu Dao Duan didn't dare to be ambiguous at all, he ran here to open a dojo, if he couldn't protect Chen Sanlang's family, what face would he have to see Chen Sanlang?

Not long after, Chen Wang took Xiaocui over to see Lord Lu and hurriedly saluted.

Lord Lu hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady!"

Chen Wang asked, "My lord, who are you?"

Lord Lu didn't sell it anymore, and said loudly: "Old lady, there is good news to the county government, and the road is your Sanlang Xidengke, the title of the gold list, and the champion of high school!"

"What?"

Chen Wang's steps staggered, almost unsteady, and the excitement in his heart was like a wave on the ground, about to boil: his son passed the exam, and he won the top prize, this, this ......

For a moment, she couldn't put it into words.

When Zhou Hezhi next to him heard the news, he was also shocked on the spot, and then there was a look of ecstasy on his face: I won, my son really passed the test, and he is the champion!

No wonder Lord Lu's attitude has changed greatly this time, and he is condescending and respectful, all because of this. The good news of the gold list was transmitted to the county government first, and then in order to sell his favor, Lord Lu let the good news rest in the county office, and he came to make a report first.

A moment later, the news of Chen Sanlang's high school champion spread, making everyone can't help but cheer. They chose to cling to the tree of Chen Sanlang, and now this tree is growing stronger and stronger, growing more and more luxuriant, and they are not happy and excited about it?r1152
