Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Because Guan Yong stayed in the capital, Zhou Dalang left his daughter and son-in-law at home. It was not easy to live in the capital. The Guan family could not afford to buy a house in the capital, and the cost of renting a house was not low.

Zhou Lixin and Guan Yong walked through the corridor to go home. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Li, "After this, there will be no worries for the family, and the rest is to be cautious in words and deeds."

Zhou Lixin said: "Grandpa mentioned it, let my dad and the others keep a low profile outside, if they don't need the name of the aunt, they don't need it."

Now Zhou Lixue and the others are just petty officials, and they can't protect their family, so when Zhou Lixue and the others run into trouble, they still have to use Zhou Man's official posts.

Not long after the Zhou family ended, both Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu knew the result.

Knowing the result, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly, sent the five heads who came to deliver the letter, and said to him, "It's getting late, you have to go to school tomorrow, go back and rest."

Wutou scratched his head, "It's annoying sir." Then he ran away.

Madam Liu smiled as she watched Fang and the others come over to bring back the crazy children. Seeing that they kept looking back and didn't want to leave, she greeted the children and said, "Come to play again tomorrow, and I will ask your grandma Zheng to give it to you. You make delicious snacks."

The children did not struggle to go home with their mothers.

After sending off a group of naughty children, Zheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said to her mother-in-law: "Mother, the Zhou family is not divided."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "I heard it all, it's a good thing."

Although the family is separated, the surname is still Zhou. For Zhou Man, the six brothers are still six brothers, but they are separated, far less than the momentum of the twist at this time.

Zheng Shi also intuition that this is a good thing, and asked happily: "Do you want to do more delicious food to celebrate tomorrow?"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but give her a look of anger, "This matter should be kept low-key and not publicized, but you can make more snacks to send over. It's a good thing after all, it's okay for everyone to be happy."

The Zhou family was indeed very low-key, and the next day they chose a time when there would not be many people working in the county government office.

Because there was no official post from Zhou Man, although the people in the county government recognized Zhou Lijun and Thursday Lang, they didn't take it to heart.

Because it was voluntary, they brought enough money to pay, so it was done quickly.

Zhou Lijun simply applied for the ultimatum to leave the customs. Xiang Mingxue is still a good family, not a businessman. Although he is limited to officialdom, and the caravan in his hands is not smaller than that of Zhou Shilang, he has a lot of fields.

In order to show generosity, express guilt and appease the nobles in the dynasty, the emperor returned all the farmland to Xiang Mingxue after the king of Yizhou was executed.

Anyone who trades what the fields produce will not be considered merchants.

With the scale of Xiangjia's fields, he wants to be recognized as a merchant, unless he loses a lot of land or conducts large-scale transactions of non-field-produced commodities such as porcelain.

Dajin not only suppressed businessmen, but also had conveniences.

After entering the business registration, it is much more convenient to go to business.

For example, the caravans formed by people who are not merchants such as Wen Yi, Shiroulang and the others have to be re-stamped every time they reach some checkpoints, and they will pass after paying taxes;

However, the business registration is different. They can set off after taking the ultimatum at the departure point, and the road is smooth, unless some important checkpoints need to be re-stamped.

But the speed is also much faster than them, the procedure is different.

That’s fine. The imperial court occasionally encourages businessmen, and it also reduces or exempts some business taxes. Originally, the tax was thirty-one. In order to attract businessmen to pass the customs, some places would reduce the business tax to forty-one, or return part of it after thirty-one.

And these, Thursday Lang and the others are not merchants, they do not have it.

Of course, this is rarely the case.

Zhou Lijun made a ultimatum in his own name and handed it over to Thursday Lang, "Remember to change it along the way, and replace it with my ultimatum when it arrives in Xiazhou."

Thursday Lang had a headache, "I have to replace it along the way, or I will change it next time? Otherwise, wouldn't we have to pay another sum of money? And how should I answer when people ask?"

"Just say that your business was acquired by me, and you are my steward now."

Thursuro: "...Okay, you have the final say."

Because they were low-key enough, no one noticed that the Zhou family's business had changed quietly, or that the county magistrate Guo discovered Zhou Lijun's name when he checked the accounts. Only then did they know that the Zhou family had put all the business in Zhou Lijun's name.

He raised his eyebrows, thinking of the recent upheaval, he closed the booklet and handed it to the master bookkeeper, "No problem, just seal the file."

The master clerk responded. He used to follow Tang He. He knew that Tang He and the Zhou family had a good relationship. This account was also specially shown to the magistrate of Guo. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any reaction, he also put the matter down, as usual Archive archives.

When the magistrate Guo waited for the clerk to leave, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, "They are clever and always one step ahead."

Bai Shan, who was one step ahead, also asked for help, so Mr. Zhuang went to the Ministry of Engineering for a walk on their behalf, and Liu Huan took the initiative to take him around, "There are many powerful adults in the Ministry of Engineering, some are particularly good at repairing water conservancy, some There are those who build palaces and gardens, and there are those who are good at designing weapons, but the ferry... I inquired about it, and it seems that Master Cui is more powerful."

"Master Cui?"

"Yes, Cui Wei, Master Cui," Liu Huan looked around and whispered, "Master Cui is actually the most powerful in building bridges and paving roads, but Mrs. Cui doesn't like Master Cui joining the Ministry of Industry, and Master Cui is also a little withdrawn. I don't like talking to people very much, so I might not be able to invite him."

Mr. Zhuang asked, "You said he would build a ferry, but has he built it before?"

"It's Hedu," Liu Huan said, "I don't know much, I just checked it from the archives. In the past ten years, he participated in all four ferry crossings funded by the Ministry of Household, and two of them used his drawings. , I asked my colleagues, and they all said that they want to build the sea ferry, it is best to ask Master Cui."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and went to visit Cui Wei with Liu Huan.

At this time, Bai Shan and Zhou Man also arrived at the Laizhou ferry, and were sitting at a small stall not far from the ferry to eat noodles, they just whispered disgust while eating, "It's really bad, it can be ranked in my place. Worst food I've eaten in years."

Ming Da had put down his chopsticks and asked, "Have you ever eaten food worse than this before?"

Zhou Man didn't speak, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked up at her and said vaguely, "Some people are not very good at making things."

For example, the dishes from Sister-in-law on Tuesday, the noodles from Lang on Thursday, and all the food from Manbao.

Zhou Man snorted, barely finished the noodles in the bowl, and said to them, "Eat it quickly, don't waste it."

Ming Da looked at the noodles in her bowl with a tangled face, and Man Bao was very gentle to her, "If you don't like it, don't eat it. Eat some snacks to cushion your stomach first."

Then she pushed her bowl to Bai Erlang and ordered, "You can eat it."

Bai Erlang grabbed his chopsticks tightly, "I, my appetite is a little small..."

Not to mention Zhou Man and Bai Shan, even Mingda looked at him, who did he lie to, which day did he eat less lunch?
