After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Xiao Qingshan looked at the eager look of the village chief, and did not deliberately go around the bush. He directly told the village chief why he went to the county government to study law, and how he would go to the prefecture city to take the exam for the Asian official position in the next year.

Finally, I did not forget to remind the village chief that this matter has not been announced yet, and he asked the village chief not to spread the news to avoid causing unnecessary complications.

The village chief quickly agreed, but he was already shocked in his heart: "My dear, this boy Qingshan is so capable, wouldn't he have to bow to him when he sees him in the future?"

The village chief was shocked and determined to provide a good education for his grandson. Seeing that the village chief was a little distracted and seemed to be still understanding his words, Xiao Qingshan coughed lightly and woke up the village chief, intending to continue to make his plans clear to the village chief.

"Village Chief, I originally planned to give the extra 100 acres of land to the village. As you know, my family has no land. But if I really want to be posted as an official next year, I will definitely not be in Qingzhou. To hold office, we always need some land as a foundation.”

Xiao Qingshan looked at the village chief's face as he spoke. Seeing that the village chief still had no reaction, he decided to tell him his solution directly.

Xiao Qingshan agreed to give the village a tax-free quota of 100 acres of land under his name, but the limited quota required the village chief to come forward to solve the problem. He did not want anyone to say anything in front of his wife and daughter.

If he passes the exam in the next year, he will send his whole family to the post. When the time comes, he will take back these 100 acres of land, and he will need to buy some land where he works.

That is to say, if he can pass the ASX exam, the tax exemption for the villagers can only be exempted once this year. If you have to go back and forth on the land deed, there will probably be a lot of complaints from the village.

Xiao Qingshan wants to wait until he moves out of the village to set up a school for the village and find a boy student or scholar to enlighten the children in the village and nearby villages. He will pay for the annual training for his husband, which can be regarded as a kind of reward to the village. .

When he left home, his youngest daughter came over and asked him what he thought. After listening to his solution, Mingjia told him one thing: "But, Dad, I heard from the village chief's grandma Liu that you have a quota of 200 acres of land in your name." "

Xiao Qingshan was shocked. It turned out that he had underestimated the greed of the villagers and was actually eyeing his 200 acres of land.

For a moment, he hesitated again. He rented the 100 acres of tax-free land to wealthy households in the county. The annual rent of 10 taels was his family's annual expenses! Absolutely no movement.

Mingjia suspected that his father had underestimated the greed of the villagers and thought that a tax of 100 acres a year plus an enlightenment school could appease the villagers. Maybe the villagers were grateful at first, but some were always dissatisfied.

This kind of thing is best done with both kindness and threat. If the kindness is given, the only way to intimidate is to use the power of the county magistrate.

Mingjia showed a sweet smile and looked at her father: "Dad, you usually live in the county government. Have you met the county magistrate? Please ask him to take more care of the village in the future! The village chief will definitely be happy."

No matter what the county magistrate’s attitude is towards dad. From the current point of view, there is always a favor, and it has to be repaid anyway, so you might as well use it more. This county magistrate has only been in Qingyun County for one year. If his term is three years, he can still "look after" Tianjia Village for two years.

Two years is enough time for Dad to establish a firm foothold in the place where he works. By then, people in the village will not dare to say anything. It is essential to be on guard against others, Mingjia does not want to leave potential trouble in the future.

Xiao Qingshan understood what his youngest daughter said, and was surprised that his daughter was thinking long-term, and felt guilty about his own incompetence, that he still had to remind her about such a trivial matter.

Xiao Qingshan and other village chiefs completely woke up from the joy of building a school for the village, and said with pride:

"I am fortunate enough to be favored by the county magistrate, and now I am studying law in the county government. When I find a chance, I will tell the county magistrate about our Tianjia Village. The villagers are united and every household is harmonious and friendly. I also ask the county magistrate to take more care of our Tianjia Village. "

The village chief had just woken up from joy, but was stunned by another surprise.

The village chief negotiated with Xiao Qingshan, and the village chief came forward to discuss the quota for 100 acres of land. He did not tell the villagers in advance about Asia and the school.

It was only said that Xiao Qingshan gave back the help to his father and fellow villagers, so he did not receive any benefits in the first year. Next year's rent will be discussed with the village chief next year. After everything was discussed, Xiao Qingshan said goodbye and went home. The village chief sat on the chair for a long time and could not recover.

The matter was resolved, and Xiao Qingshan returned home with a relaxed expression. I saw my wife mending clothes for my eldest son in the main room, and my children were studying in the study.

Then he turned around and went to the study. He seemed to hear his eldest son and youngest daughter whispering something at the door, but he couldn't hear it clearly. "What are you two whispering about again? Let daddy listen." After saying this, his son and daughter both turned to look at him.

The problem is, why do these two children look at him with very strange eyes, feeling sympathetic, distressed, and even a little disgusted? ?

Xiao Qingshan, his son and daughter stared at each other, but in the end Mingjia couldn't bear it anymore and spoke first: "Dad, when you were not at home, I took it upon myself to ask Uncle Li to sell the inkstone I received as a gift at home. ,Do not get angry"

"Dad, don't blame my sister. It was my idea. My sister doesn't know Uncle Li." Before Xiao Qingshan said anything, Mingjun hurriedly opened his mouth and took the responsibility on himself.

This silly boy still protects his sister. Xiao Qingshan asked which inkstones they sold. Although he felt that it was unbecoming of a scholar, his daughter was right. These inkstones would be a problem when moving.

Finally, he said that it would be good to keep only the study room given by Mr. Xie and sell the rest.

He was surprised that his youngest daughter had such an idea. He told his son to ask Dong what his plans were for the pieces of cloth, otherwise he would also plan to sell them or take them to the cloth shop in exchange for a few batches of cloth that his wife and daughter could use.

His son ran out. Xiao Qingshan turned to look at his daughter. He was very confused and even a little uneasy. He couldn't help but ask his younger daughter: "Mingjia, tell daddy, why did you think of exchanging the inkstone for money?"

Ordinary 3-year-old children have no idea about money, but his daughter has actually started selling household items in exchange for money.

Mingjia knew that she had been a little too aggressive recently and wanted to dispel her father's concerns as soon as possible: "Grandma Liu and my mother told me that it would cost a lot of money for my father to take the national examination in the future.

My brother also said that when his father took him to the county bookstore, he saw that it cost 150 yuan to buy an inkstone. "The little girl didn't feel guilty at all and looked at her father innocently.

Xiao Qingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her daughter was just a little smarter than ordinary children, just not a monster.

Because of his father's trust in his daughter, he had no doubt about the relationship between Liu's conversation with his wife and his daughter's request to Li Hansheng to help sell the inkstone.

There are some things that Xiao Qingshan originally did not plan to tell his son and daughter, at least until they grow up.
