Chapter 109 County Magistrate Du

"My lord, please slow down. The situation is completely different from what we thought. Please calm down first, and I will report to you in detail." Guo Lichang had a happy face and told the county magistrate what he had seen and heard in Pingyuan Township.

The room fell into a brief silence, and the candlelight beeped, and the county magistrate asked thoughtfully: "You mean that the loss of Dashuiyuan Township is not the most serious this time? Is it possible?"

He was also optimistic about the field before, but the results in other villages were not satisfactory. This time, only two or three of the ten families affected by the flood suffered minor damage, and the others suffered heavy losses. But because the wall is not high enough, water poured in, no matter how π is useless.

If every household has a problem with the drainage truck, he can still put the blame on Tang Junsheng, but in fact, only some households are not using it well, and other drainage trucks have no problems, so the problem lies in the construction of the truck. The carpenter is on.

He was the one who found the person, and this matter cannot be blamed on other people. Now those villagers who have suffered heavy losses are blocking the gate of the yamen to talk to him, and he has no face to go out to meet people. Unexpectedly, it survived.

"My lord, in fact, I didn't believe it at first, but I had to accept this fact until I saw the heavy ears of rice. Depending on the situation, I estimate that the rice will be harvested in five or six days. If my lord doubts it, you can do it then." Go to Pingyuan Township for a walk." Guo Lichang suggested.

The county magistrate nodded slightly and sighed: "It's a pity that the memorial was written too quickly, and I don't know what the imperial court will think of me when they receive the news! Those villains will definitely make trouble again!"

County Magistrate Du sighed, but he was more happy.

Master Chen listened to it when he came over, and then he said cheerfully, "My lord, you don't need to worry, Anhong County is a place with frequent floods, if you hadn't been plotted by others, you wouldn't have come to us." Assuming office in this place, if the higher-ups want to use the flood to punish you, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable, and there is no precedent before.

If you want to take the opportunity to demote you again, there is nothing to demote you. To be honest, our place is not as good as a small county in the northwest border!Regardless of the barrenness in the northwest, there must be more places to fish for oil and water than here. Those people are probably more reluctant to part with those positions. At worst, they will be told a few words, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and you can't hear it. There is nothing to be depressed about.

And since the booklets have been sent up, there must be a sum of money for disaster relief. With this money, those people outside can also be sent away. This is the real benefit. "

County magistrate Du stroked his beard and nodded slightly. He also agreed in his heart, but he was afraid that his teacher would be affected by him and suffer some grievances!

"By the way, teacher, are they here now?" County Magistrate Du looked at Master Chen with a worried expression.

Master Chen paused, then pondered: "It should be here, it's been almost a year since we left!"

"That means there is no news yet! Send someone to investigate again, and make sure that the teacher's family arrives in Lingnan safely." County Magistrate Du was full of worries, and glanced at Guo Lichang next to him, saying: "Come back during the autumn harvest in Pingyuan Township Let me know, and I'll go with you to have a look."

"Yes!" Guo Li looked at his nose and heart with long eyes, and left the county office with great interest.

The Tang family in Pingyuan Township did not cause any disturbances because of the arrival of Guo Lichang. There were only Tang Junsheng, his father and son and Du Chunyue in the house in the countryside. thing.

On this side of the town, Jiang and the others calmed down after the flood receded, and the business continued as usual. Although the business was greatly affected by the flood and was not as prosperous as before, they still had Qiu Jingming around, and Qiu Jingming was a salesman. , Selling everything, after eating Mahua Mazao, he discussed long-term cooperation with Jiang's.

With these small snacks, he has also become a well-known shopkeeper in several nearby towns. As long as he hears the bell, everyone will know that he is coming. Every street or alley can sell some twisted dates, and other things are also easy to sell. A lot, plus he still has silk soap, and some people in this family are also thinking about his coming. Every time he goes out, he can earn taels. A twenty-five taels to thirty taels.

From the cold winter before Chinese New Year to the end of summer now, in just a few months, he has already saved more than taels. Although this family's wealth is not as good as Tangning's, it is much better than those who came to Jiangnan together. too much.

What made Qiu Jingming even more happy was Qiu Changsheng's body. In the past few months, Qiu Changsheng had taken good care of him. Although he was not as good as those ladies from rich families, he still had enough food and clothing. A nearby family that raised buffalo ordered milk for three Wen per day for a bucket.

After Qiu Jingming found out, he asked Tangning to count Qiu Changsheng in, and he would pay another two cents.

The family is also sincere, and the milk given by these five coins is full, and the small bucket is almost full, and it is boiled enough for everyone to share a bowl.

Jiang and the others were not used to drinking it. They always said it had a strange smell, and Nizi didn't like it either. It was Tangning who said that milk nourishes the body, so they bite the bullet and drink it every day.

Qiu Changsheng even had a bowl in the morning and evening. Some warming and nourishing herbs were added to it. The effect was really good. In addition to Tangning's request, the Jiang family would boil an egg for her every day, as well as Huang's soy milk and tofu. I often get some fish and shrimp back here.

But in the past half a year, the little girl has grown taller, her body has gained more flesh, her complexion has become much ruddy, not as dry and sallow as when she first met, and there are many people here, and some people finish talking with her, Playing with her, the whole person looks much more cheerful.

Seeing this, Qiu Jingming naturally cared more about the Tang family. No, seeing that the Jiang family was worried about business, he said, "Auntie, it is inevitable that the business will be affected by the flood. Why don't you sell more to me? I'll take it to the ferry, and the business should be pretty good."

"To the ferry?" Jiang was a little surprised, frowned and said, "The ferry is still some distance away from our Anhong County, and it takes two or three days to go back and forth. It's not safe to run that far."

Jiang Shi didn't agree very much. Although their business was not as good as before, she and Tang Rou could share about Wen a day, which was quite a lot. There is an extra five taels of silver per month.

To put it bluntly, they opened this shop just to make trouble, and the real boss is on Qiu Jingming's side, so they don't have the nerve to bother him now.

"Auntie, please don't meet me. Miss Ning's silk soap is quite famous in our area. People outside should have heard of it. I plan to go farther and sell more. Although it's a hassle, I can go out for a while. You can also earn a lot." Qiu Jingming said softly.
