After becoming a big farmer

Chuting Township became more and more famous for raising tea-flavored pigs. After hearing about it, the Zhizhou even praised the county magistrate of Shangrao and the Lizhengs in the township.

The wife of the county magistrate of Shangrao once mentioned to him the water and soil support in Chuting Township, but he soon forgot about it. Now his superiors praised him for doing a good job. The master book and others went to Chuting Township together.

The carriage of the women's family members walked in front, the county magistrate and the master rode on horses, and the donkey followed leisurely behind.While inspecting, the chief bookkeeper reported to the county magistrate with the account books of last year's two taxes: "The harvest in Chuting Township last year was good, and the money owed for young crops in previous years was also made up. It is said that it is because the tea-flavored pigs sold are valuable. Also There are many tea garden owners who want to buy land to grow tea here, and the tea tax is also the main tax in Chuting Township..."

Seeing the busy adults in the field and the children playing on the ridge, the county magistrate couldn't help but smile, and said: "The Qi family Silang and the Zhou family lady are really a strange little couple!"

The fact that the tea-flavored pig was created by Qi Silang has already caused a lot of trouble, and he even planned to send the tea-flavored pig to Beijing as a tribute.There was also the Chuting black tea made by the little lady of the Zhou family. At that time, he had the intention of taking it back to the official tea garden.

The two best-selling specialties in Chuting Township were produced by a young couple. It is a coincidence rather than a strong alliance and mutual attraction.

Along the way, they could still see butchers who came to buy pigs, and tea merchants who bought tea from the Zhou family tea garden. The originally smooth road was riddled with many potholes.

The county magistrate sighed: "This road still needs to be repaired, it's too narrow!"

I don't want to, this Chuting Township was not a big town before, there were no rich and powerful families to sponsor road construction, and the official road construction was perfunctory.There are many people walking now, and the carriages come and go here endlessly, so it looks narrow and dilapidated.

The county magistrate asked the female relatives to go for a walk first, and he asked people to find the Lizhengs in Chuting Township, but the servants came back and said that Lizhengs were not there for several miles, and they seemed to be in Qijia Biezhuang.

The county magistrate laughed and said, "When did Shiro Qi have such charisma? I'll join in the fun too!"

When he came to Qi's Biezhuang, he didn't need to pretend to be a private visit, the servants of Qi's family recognized him, and after the announcement, he and the master were very politely invited in.

The people who were talking in the hall greeted the county magistrate and the head secretary in surprise, not knowing why they came here suddenly.

The county magistrate saw that everyone was a little nervous and cautious, and said: "Everyone, don't be nervous, I am out with my wife and children today, only Bai Ding, you can continue to discuss things."

Although his attitude was peaceful, everyone couldn't just treat him as an ordinary person, so they told the county magistrate what they were discussing, and asked the county magistrate to make up his mind.

It turned out that after Qi Wangwang cooperated with the people to raise pigs, he put forward many other suggestions for the construction of Chuting Township.Although Lizheng is a servant who collects taxes and manages the household registration in the village, it is the village committee in modern times, so the development of the village can reduce their burden and help improve their reputation in the village.

Qi Wangwang proposed to make Chuting Township's reputation no longer limited to Xinzhou, for example, to make Chuting Township a famous tea town not inferior to Fuliang, Jian'an Beiyuan and other places, and let others mention black tea or tea-flavored pigs. Then I thought of Chuting Township.

At the same time, in order to increase popularity, it is also necessary to set up projects to attract literati and poets, such as building free schools and academies.In addition, the road has to be widened and levelled, and the horse manure, cow manure, and donkey manure on the road must be cleaned up in time to make people walk comfortably.

Many common people know that excrement can be used for composting, so there is no need to worry about excrement; the only thing that needs to be discussed in depth is the construction of the academy and the construction of roads.

Qi hoped to express that she could fund and sponsor the construction of the academy and the construction of roads, as long as the Lizhengs also contributed, or they could seek sponsorship from the gentry in the village, it would always be completed.

The county magistrate praised: "This matter is of great benefit to the village, you are really good!"

Lizhengs are all in charge of first-class households in turn. The family may have a lot of fields or a lot of money. Qi hoped to start, and the county magistrate watched from the side. He agreed immediately: "I can donate ten acres of land as a school field!"

"I can donate a hundred pennies to build roads!"

"I can pay some money to build the academy..."

One after another, many Lizheng expressed their views, and some of them really didn't want to pay the money, so they had the cheek to say nothing.

Qi Wangwang didn't force it, she was just a proposer, and she had to find someone else to do it.There are also some well-known people in these places, and Qi hopes not to take the credit, and everyone has a good impression of her.

After talking about this matter, the Lizhengs followed the county magistrate to visit Chuting Township again.

The county magistrate passed a lush and lush forest. When he saw a deer walking in the forest, he sighed: "Li Taibai's poem says: Amidst the sound of dogs barking and water, the peach blossoms are thick with dew. When the tree is deep, you can see the deer, but the stream does not hear it at noon." Zhong. This place is not deep in the forest, but because of the luxuriant trees, the deer think it is already deep in the forest, so dare to walk here?!"

In the past, people in the world had the habit of hunting. Because the meaning of deer is mostly auspicious, everyone from the court to the government likes to use deer to sacrifice.

The more deer are hunted, the more difficult it is for the world to see deer walking in the forest.Every year when there is a major sacrifice, the government has to spend a lot of money to buy a deer. Now the deer has a free and undisciplined posture, but it is not afraid of life at all, which is really rare!

On the side there was Li Zhengdao: "The forest belongs to the Qi family's people. It is said that the Qi family's people gave it to Qi Silang. It is the private land of the Qi family, no one dares to enter it at will, and since Qi Silang entered the forest the year before last and encountered wild boars, he has also I didn’t go in to hunt anymore, no one moved around, and slowly those deer boldly appeared.”

The forest is next to Qi Wangwang's Vitality Garden, and the Vitality Garden is patrolled and guarded, so these deer like to get closer to the Vitality Garden, and every night they run to the depths of the forest, making those who once wanted to hunt them People return without success.As time passed, the villagers wondered whether these deer had become spirits.

A small deer jumped out of the forest, staring at everyone with grape-like black eyes, it seemed not afraid of life at all.Everyone was taken aback, and couldn't help but go forward to catch the deer, but the little deer ran away cleverly, heading for Qi Wangwang who was walking behind to stop by the Vitality Garden.

Everyone looked at the little deer in front of Qi Wangwang, and gently touched her with his head on her head. Those small antlers made Qi Wangwang couldn't help giggling.

"Couldn't this deer be raised by Qi Silang?!" The county magistrate was thinking, if it was really raised by Qi Wangwang, then the priests would not have to worry about not having a deer.

After he finished speaking, the little deer tilted its head and gave him a look, then jumped back into the woods and disappeared among the lush vegetation.

Qi Wangwang didn't stop the little deer from leaving, he stepped forward and said: "I don't raise this deer, but when I feed the horses, it will occasionally come to grab food from the horses. Don't look at it being so cute, when it's time to grab food It's barbaric."

What Qi Wangwang didn't say was that she first saw these deer when she was actually playing the piano for Zhou Shu in the piano room.

After playing the zither, we talked about love again, and when we wanted to do something, Zhou Shu pushed her away to watch the deer because of two deer, one big and one small, by the pool, so she remembered These two deer.

Unexpectedly, the deer became more and more daring, not only broke into the secret world behind the piano room that belonged to Qi Wangwang and Zhou Shu, but also ran to the Vitality Garden to compete with the livestock for food.

Qi Wangwang was gearing up to catch the deer and raise it in captivity, but Zhou Shu said, "The deer has spirituality, which means auspiciousness, so it's better not to catch it lightly."

Not only did she not allow Qi Wangwang to capture them, but she also ordered the servants of the Qi family to keep an eye on them and not allow others to hurt them.

Over time, the servants of the Qi family acted as their Lord Shi Lang and raised two more deer.

Someone smiled and said to the county magistrate: "Mingfu, meeting a deer is a good omen!"

"Deer" is connected with "lu", so it means promotion. When others mention it, the county magistrate knows that the deer is closer to Qi Wangwang, but he can't restrain his inner joy.

After he left Chuting Township, whenever he inspected other townships, he would always mention Chuting Township, and he wanted every township to learn from Chuting Township.

At the same time, he also remembered that Qi Wangwang proposed to build an academy, but the completion of the academy is not enough, and there must be teachers. For this reason, he consulted with Qi Chen, hoping that Qi Chen can help invite some friends to come. Academy to teach.

Qi Chen: "..."

His son wanted to start an academy, why did the county magistrate come to find his teacher who wanted to give lectures?

If the county magistrate didn't mention it, he didn't even know that Qi Wangwang had done such a big thing in Chuting Township.Fang said with a smile: "The old man has already said, Brother Chun has unlimited potential, he is an outstanding child!"

Of course, Qi Wangwang didn't really forget her father's ability. If she asked her to say, looking for any wife is better than looking for her father!Her father is a famous teacher!A national-level public university, a graduate of Taixue, has been teaching and educating people all his life. He is also the leader and professor of the famous university "Yingtianfu Academy". As long as he sends an invitation letter, there must be many masters who are willing to come to the place Is it taught in school?

But she also knew her father's temper, so she could only take a roundabout way. First, she took Fang to another village to retire, and then said to her father: "Father, if you can go to the academy in Chuting Township to teach, then Being able to serve by Mammy's side from time to time, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Qi Chen: "Get lost."

He didn't believe that such an ignorant person as Qi Wangwang could run a good school, but Qi Wangwang said that she, like many illiterate local tyrants, just paid for the construction of the school, gained a good reputation, and accumulated some merit. That's all.

But if the academy can really continue to operate and cultivate many scholars, it will not only benefit them!

Qi Chen also knows that the establishment of the academy is a matter of great merit. Although the Qi family has its own family history, if it can be combined with the academy, it will definitely make the Qi family's reputation even more prominent!

So Qi Chen didn't agree to go to the academy to teach, but he also said that if Qi is expected to build an academy, he can help invite some friends to come and teach.

-

Qi is expected to increase his influence in Chuting Township and the government step by step, while Zhou Shu is still concentrating on running the Zhou family's tea business well.

The emergence of black tea is not the end of her exploration, and she will not stop, because even if it is black tea, the method of tea making can definitely be continuously improved to produce better black tea.

Of course, before that, she had to clear out the restless and kind people in the tea garden.
