Dressed as a subjugated princess, I will take my husband into exile with me

The more Liu Lizheng listened, the more excited he became, and he really wanted to express his loyalty to Zhao Lingshan immediately.

With such a loyal, capable person as a backer, he and the villagers no longer need to worry about survival!

"Hey, Old Huang, can you introduce me to Patriarch Zhao?"

"You know, the lives of people in our area are very hard."

"If we can have the leadership of the head of the Zhao family, we will be able to live a stable life!" said Liu Lizheng with a flattering look on his face.

Because he has seen the selfishness of human nature too many times, people always hide benefits from others for fear that others will also benefit from it.

It's like if someone hunts prey or digs up medicinal herbs in the mountains, when someone asks about it, they will never tell the source of the things.

Huang Lizheng was in a dilemma. He scratched his head and said, "Old Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't make the decision on this matter."

Liu Lizheng got anxious when he heard this, "Hey, Lao Huang, please help me."

"Look, our village has been in poverty for so many years. With the help of Patriarch Zhao, maybe we can change the current situation."

Huang Lizheng thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? I can take you to see Patriarch Zhao, but whether it works or not depends on you."

"But let me remind you first that Patriarch Zhao is not someone who will help just anyone."

Liu Lizheng nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand!"

"As long as I can meet Patriarch Zhao, I will definitely seize the opportunity."

So, after the banquet, Huang Lizheng took Liu Lizheng to find Zhao Lingshan.

It was just a short distance, but Liu Lizheng felt like he had walked dozens of miles.

He was silently preparing himself in his mind, making sure that what he was going to say would not leave a bad impression on Zhao Lingshan.

Then he secretly made up his mind to persuade Zhao Lingshan to help their village no matter what.

Huang Lizheng brought Liu Lizheng to the gate of Zhao Lingshan's yard and gently knocked on the doorknob.

The door was quickly opened, and He Jiuniang stuck her head out and asked the two men why they came.

Huang Lizheng explained the situation and He Jiuniang led them into the courtyard.

Along the way, Liu Lizheng was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he kept repeating the words he had prepared in his mind.

Finally, they came to the living room and saw Zhao Lingshan sitting in the main seat.

Her eyes were sharp and wise, which made Liu Lizheng feel a little nervous.

Liu Lizheng calmed himself down, took a deep breath, explained his purpose to Zhao Lingshan, and sincerely asked her to help his village.

Zhao Lingshan listened quietly, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Does your village have any special resources or advantages? Why should I help you?"

Liu Lizheng quickly replied: "Although our village is not rich, the villagers are hardworking and kind."

"The population of our village is smaller than that of other villages, but our village has the most land."

"If Patriarch Zhao is willing to help, our village will surely develop."

Zhao Lingshan nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what he meant.

"You have a vast territory and a sparse population, but it sounds like you have abundant resources."

"But there is one thing. Does this mean that you will be under more pressure when paying taxes?" Zhao Lingshan asked calmly.

Her tone sounded soft, like a casual chat, but it made Liu Lizheng sweat profusely.

He never expected that even though he deliberately only mentioned the advantages of the village, she still pointed out the biggest problem.

Liu Lizheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly, "This... is indeed a problem."

"But we can increase our income and reduce the pressure of paying taxes by developing planting and raising poultry."

Zhao Lingshan looked at him, a barely perceptible smile flashing across her eyes, "This is just one aspect. You can also consider developing some specialty industries, or cooperating with other villages for common development."

Liu Lizheng nodded repeatedly, "Master Zhao is right, but our village has always been based on traditional agriculture. It will take some time and experience to develop other aspects."

Zhao Lingshan stood up and walked to Liu Lizheng. "If you are really sincere, I can send some people to your village to investigate and see if there are any feasible projects, but this requires your cooperation and efforts."

Liu Lizheng excitedly bowed to Zhao Lingshan, "Thank you, Master Zhao! We will definitely cooperate with you to the best of our ability and live up to your expectations!"

Zhao Lingshan smiled and nodded, "I hope our cooperation this time will be successful and help your village develop better."

It just so happened that she needed a lot of land to grow things other than crops.

With the participation of Dongmen Village, her plan will be better accomplished.

Liu Lizheng was so happy when he got her promise that he almost cried.

He never dreamed that things would go so smoothly.

When the other party knew what problems they were facing, they were able to agree to cooperate with their village.

This shows the other party's vision and courage, as well as her ability to strategize!

When he returns to the village, he will definitely hold a family meeting to let the villagers know what kind of good life they will have in the future.

After he thanked Zhao Lingshan repeatedly, he left with Huang Lizheng.

When they reached the entrance of Datu Village, he spoke many heart-to-heart talks with Huang Lizheng before walking briskly towards his own village.

When he returned to the village, he notified the heads of each family overnight to hold a meeting in the village ancestral hall.

After hearing the news he brought back, everyone was delighted.

They seemed to see the future of the village, and their blood boiled.

"Well, I have another idea, but I don't know whether I should mention it or not." said one of the representatives.

"I called you here tonight, so of course you can tell me whatever you want to say. Feel free to speak your mind." Li Zheng Liu was in a good mood and said very tolerantly.

"I heard that a school was built in the new village, and the teacher is a great scholar from Kyoto."

"Mr. Village Head, think about it. Can you discuss with the head of the Zhao family and let our village send a few children to school?" The man who spoke was clear in expressing his thoughts.

After listening to this, Liu Lizheng slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I was only thinking about solving the problem of food and clothing, and forgot about the children's schooling!"

"However, we have just made contact with Patriarch Zhao, so it is not appropriate to propose so many conditions for the time being, lest people think we are greedy."

"When there's a chance in the future, we'll ask Patriarch Zhao for some leniency. We can always send a few children over."

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Sending the children to school is just a matter of time, they can't rush it.

Finally, after discussing some details together, everyone returned to their homes in a happy mood.
