Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Well, I don't understand what you said. Anyway, I bought it with you. I just hope we can meet the county master smoothly."

Compared with his ease, Han Fei was still a little heavy, and his heart was up and down.

"Hehe... Brother Han, don't worry, almost half of the land in the 120 counties of the six counties in Cangzhou cannot be planted because of the tributaries of the inland sea, and it is in a state of abandonment all the year round. If someone can make use of these lands, Not to mention the county magistrate, even the prefect must greet us respectfully. Who does not want to make some achievements when he takes office? It may not be uncommon to open up wasteland in general, and to make use of the half-salt land in the entire Cangzhou, then But it's different, the magistrate and prefect of the county have great achievements, as long as we explain our intention, the county magistrate will definitely meet us in person."

Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan said with a soothing smile as he walked. He had already thought about it for a long time. He went to the yamen to ask for an interview. If he couldn't, he asked the shopkeeper of Xinyuan Restaurant in the town for help. Zeng Shaoqing didn't give him a brand. Now it just comes in handy. With Xinyuan's relationship, it shouldn't be difficult to see the magistrate. After seeing him, he has a way to persuade him.

"Well, you're right, each county in Cangzhou covers more than 10,000 hectares, and the larger ones reach 20,000 to 30,000 hectares. Excluding the fertile land in county towns, towns and villages, mountains and Lingjiang River valley, there are at least 3,000 hectares left. More than hectares are semi-salt land. This is just one county. Cangzhou has six counties and 120 counties. Most of the counties cannot be planted because of the tributaries of the inland sea. This number is very large, and it is not only Cangzhou, but other The borders of the state capitals close to the ocean are more or less facing the same problem, if you can really use all of them, maybe even the current emperor will order to reward you.”

Yan Shengrui, who was walking side by side with Ling Jingxuan, said in a deep voice that the tiger's eyes became dark and gloomy unconsciously. Perhaps, as the owner of this area, he should have been troubled by this matter before he lost his memory.

"Emperor Emperor? No way?"

Hearing this, Han Fei's eyes widened in shock, and his footsteps could not help but stop. Except for Ling Jingxuan, the reaction of others was not much better. Now whether they can see the county magistrate is a problem. The most honorable people in the Daqing Dynasty pulled out, deliberately trying to scare them to death, didn't they?

"Hehe... He was just making a random analogy. The emperor is in charge of everything, how could he notice a little guy like us?"

Gouging out someone angrily, Ling Jingxuan reluctantly reassured and said, "Really, is it okay to drag that person in?" They're just ordinary farmers okay.

"Fortunately, if even the emperor was really alarmed, I would have to be scared to death."

An exaggerated pat on the chest, Han Fei was still a little stunned. The emperor was too far away for them. If you let them know, it was the emperor's younger brother who was standing in front of them talking. I wonder what will happen to them? It must be frightened, "Daddy, hurry up, Uncle Chuan is about to set off, so I will wait for you."

Speaking of the chaos, they have already passed the village market, and almost all the little buns who ran to the ferry first stood on the boat and waved to them, because it was not the day when the town had a market, and they would go to the town or county at this time. There were not many, the two boats at the ferry were empty, Ling Jingxuan and the others glanced at each other and quickened their pace one after another.

"Dad, Uncle Chuan said to go to the county seat with three copper plates per person, and the goods will be counted separately."

Before they could get close, Ling Wen, the only one who didn't get on the boat, trotted to meet them, pulled Ling Jingxuan to complain in a low voice, his already very white and tender face was full of red ache, and it was only a penny when he went to town on a bullock cart. , Why do you need three copper coins to go to the county seat by boat? Isn't this a blatant robbery?

"It's okay, we don't always go to the county seat, we just spend money to parade on the river."

Hearing his son complaining in a low voice, Ling Jingxuan stretched out his hand and touched his head, leading him to step forward again. Three copper plates are actually not expensive, but for the poor and young who wish to break one copper plate in half for use. For the buns, it is indeed a bit expensive.

Knowing that this money can't be saved, Ling Wen didn't say anything, but his face was still not very good-looking. Although it wasn't his money, as long as he thought that thirteen of them were almost forty copper coins, he couldn't bear it. Live all kinds of distress.

"Brother Chuan, how long will it take to get to the county seat?"

After paying the money to board the boat, the boat that could only accommodate twenty or thirty people slowly left the ferry. Ling Jingxuan did not sit on the bench with the others, but stood side by side with Yan Shengrui on the bow. Ling Jiang It is the largest freshwater river in the Qing Dynasty, running through almost the entire Qing Dynasty, and its tributaries extend in all directions, densely extending to many prefectures, counties and counties. Therefore, the water transportation in the Qing Dynasty is still relatively developed, but only because of the agricultural The inland sea is slightly insufficient, and for many years the national strength has not been able to catch up with the prosperous East and the strong West.

"We are going against the river. It will take about half an hour. Young Master Ling, please go in and sit for a while."

The boss of the boat is a thin man in his 40s. Although he had heard about Ling Jingxuan before, it was impossible for him to know him, but recently he has been very active. He is doing business, buying land and building a manor. There are probably not many people in the village who don't know him.

"It doesn't matter, I think chuīchuī wind, Brother Chuan, it's fine if we don't exist."

With a slight smile, Ling Jingxuan carried one hand behind his back, and the other hand clasped Yan Shengrui's fingers tightly. The two stood side by side like a pair of beautiful people made in heaven.

"Brother Yan, look, Lingjiang is getting bigger and bigger."

The little buns who took the boat for the first time were also very excited, especially when they were usually lively

Ling Wu was moving, he was jumping around on the boat like a little monkey, but Chu Yan Lingwen and his book boy Zhou Changsheng suffered. The three were afraid that he would accidentally fall into the river, and almost all the attention was paid to his spiritual power. follow him.

"This is just a tributary of Lingjiang. The real mainstream of Lingjiang can't be seen at a glance. If Xiaowu likes it, he can go to see it when he grows up. There is also the ocean, which is bigger and wider than Lingjiang. It is said that up to now It didn't cross it, and I don't know what the other side of the sea looks like."

Holding his hand, Chu Yan explained gently, with a gleam of yearning in his eyes. If he could gain real freedom, he would really like to walk around, especially on the other side of the sea.

"Really? I'm going I'm going??"

Hearing this, Ling Wu raised his head excitedly, he was very interested in anything unknown.

"Okay, if you want to go, you have to wait until you grow up. Let's go and sit down. It will be bad if you fall into the river."

Bending down, reaching out and lovingly dipped the tip of his nose, Chu Yan held him with one hand and Ling Wen with the other, and the three walked back side by side. The little master is finally safe.

Chapter 141 Qingyang County, Shopkeeper Wang

The docks in Qingyang County are much larger than those in the market at the entrance of Lingjia Village. Passenger ships, cargo ships, official ships and merchant ships are so densely packed that they can't see the edge. It should be rebuilt after the two towns merged into one county. There are soldiers patrolling the city wall and many soldiers guarding the city gate. Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan finally has a real sense of traveling back to ancient times.

"Dad, is that the county seat? There are so many officers and soldiers, who are they?"

Coming to an unfamiliar place, a few steamed buns were inevitably a little uncomfortable. After the little steamed buns got off the boat, they held on to Ling Jingxuan's hand tightly. With a little fear and curiosity, Ling Jingxuan always smiled and looked in the direction of his son's finger: "Those are the officers and soldiers guarding the city, don't be afraid, as long as we don't do anything illegal, they won't do anything to us. "

It is far away from the battlefield, the country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In addition, the magistrate of Hu is a clean and honest, Qingyang County is generally relatively prosperous and simple.

The little bun nodded, the fear in his eyes that was mixed with strange things disappeared without a trace. When he entered the city, his vision suddenly opened up. The street was very wide, and several carriages could pass side by side. The bricks and black tiles are neat, clean and agreeable. There are teahouses, restaurants and pawnshops. There are many hawkers in front of the shops. Although they went out early, they had been delayed on the road for so long. Now the sky is bright and hawkers can be heard everywhere on the street They shouted hard, and the shuttle flow of people is not comparable to Datong Town.

"Jingxuan, should we go directly to the county office or find a place to stay first?"

The children were running around, Han Fei, who was holding the iron baby, took two steps to catch up with Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan who was walking in front. These adults were all attracted by the prosperity of the county, let alone the children. If possible, he would I would like to take this opportunity to take my children to stroll around the county and gain insights.
