A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

The wine business was far more booming than Jian Ping had imagined, and Yang Defu took away all the [-] catties that Jian Ping could sell in one go.

Although Jian Ping still has nearly 500 catties left in his hand, but according to the speed of loose sales at the villa, I am afraid that the [-] catties will not last long.

Because of Yang Defu's appearance, Jian Ping had no choice but to go to the county government office again, and asked the county magistrate, Uncle Mo, to ask for the official [Jiqu Ling], also known as [Liquor Brewing License].

After having the whole thing, Jian Ping dared to continue making wine blatantly.Otherwise, the five hundred catties of miscellaneous officials would not be enough for Wanshou Hall.

Jian Ping didn't come to see Mo Jianji before, on the one hand, it was because of the high taxes levied by the profiteering industry, which was so high that Jian Ping felt a little distressed.

Secondly, it is naturally because this is a matter of indebtedness. Wine making is such a profitable industry, and there are countless [Liquor Qu Orders] in every town.

If Jian Ping wants one, then someone will lose one.After all, Mo Jianji was the newly appointed county magistrate, so it could be regarded as a confrontation with a certain force for Jian Ping.

If Jian Ping is still as powerless as he was a year ago, then even if Mo Jianji doesn't mind giving it, Jian Ping would not dare to take it.

Fortunately, during this year, the two 'Jian Ping', at least in the eight villages of Nan'an City, still have a certain influence.

Let alone Jian Ping's ability to provide high-quality seeds and increase crop yields, even Jian Ping is now a serious eight-rank miscellaneous official, which is enough to gain a foothold in this remote border town.

The drinking matter came to an end, and Jian Ping had to worry about other things again.

[Bamboo Forest Villa] Now that the villa has the name, Jian Ping doesn't want to insult those two words.So slowly, the construction of the villa has followed suit.

The two small hills near the village are considered to be divided into the back garden of the villa, and they are only for my family.The three small hills in front are the places reserved for tourists to play.

Although it is called Shanbao, it covers an area of ​​thousands of hectares.So for a remote border city, building such a large villa is definitely a matter of saving face.

Jian Ping, who has never eaten pork, has seen pigs run, has never opened a real farmhouse, and has met many people on the Internet. When designing [Bamboo Forest Villa], it can be said that he is 'a powerful and unconstrained style', thinking about what is what.

But after the villa was built, those tourists lingered even more.The capital is not enough, so it is impossible to follow the style of luxury and splendor. In line with the principle of being close to the source, it is the style of forest style.

It was not far from the small hill to the river, so Jian Ping directly bought all the land behind the hill leading to the river, divided it into the villa, and built a place for fishing and entertainment in the villa.

I also made a play area for the children, and moved a part of my own small porcelain-making workshop to let the children play with it.

It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, if you make it yourself, you will always buy it back.Even if it is unnecessary, Jian Ping can use the waste to make other things.

Simply do not save too much effort.

Adhering to small business, it is true that there is no waste at all.

For the place where women play, they are well prepared. They donated Tian Wen's flower house, and directly set up a small garden for women to drink tea.

After these things are done, Jian Le will continue to be in charge of the affairs in the garden, and Jian Meiren will come over from time to time for other matters.

After all, among the people who come to play, it is not uncommon for scholars to promote people or even Jinshi, and it is always good for Jian Meiren, who is going to start the imperial examination this year, to have more contact with these people.

In July, another round of harvest season ended, Jian Ping bought a lot of grain and put it in the cellar that Zhou Lin helped to get out.

And after buying all the grapes in the border city, the newly brewed wine is worth tens of thousands of catties.Fortunately, a new villa has been built, and building a cellar under the villa is even less of a problem.

After the matter came to an end, Jian Ping took Tian Wen directly with him, without giving the family a chance to keep anyone, and left as soon as he said it.

"Is it really okay for us to leave like this?" Tian Wen wrapped the bank notes separately in waterproof kraft paper, and then sewed them into his clothes.

While looking at Jian Ping worriedly, he was still a little uneasy.

Seeing Tian Wen busy, Jian Ping felt a little helpless.For Jian Ping, stuffing such things as bank notes in his bosom would be enough, but for Tian Wen it would not work.

Adhering to the principle of safety, Tian Wen really didn't want to reveal any money.

"What's the matter? We are also worried about Tian Wu alone, so we just sent him for the exam. Parents will understand." Jian Ping lay on the couch, slowly flipping through a book in his hand.

This time, it was with all the students from Nan'an City who were going to take the Juren examination. For the sake of safety, everyone who was going to the capital together raised funds and hired guards to protect everyone's safety.

In Jian Ping's eyes, Mo Jianji looked more like a profiteer. The first thing he did when he came to Nan'an City was to open an escort agency.

Because most of the recruits are retired soldiers, and they are colluding with officials and businessmen in the standard sense, the business here in Nan'an City has been booming these years.

And this time, the team of students invited the escort agency that Mo Jianji had opened.At first, Jian Ping was puzzled that Mo Jianji, who was an official, would dare to do business so blatantly.

When he knew that the escort agency was under the name of Wanshoutang, and Wanshoutang was the property of Grandpa Mo Jianji's family, he didn't want to talk at all.

As for the life of the rich second generation, even in the 21st century, Jian Ping has never understood it, let alone the ancient times when the relationship between blood relatives is more complicated.

Anyway, as long as he knew that Mo Jianji was rich.

Each person paid five taels of silver, and the three of Jian Pingtian and Wen Tianwu were 15 taels.This trip, Jian Ping Tianwen didn't bring any "persons of his own" with him.Anyway, the people who can be used now are basically those replaced by Mo Jianji and Bai Huankong.

Then why spend that extra money.

As an ordinary person with a flat head, five taels of silver is also a lot, okay?

The scholar exams are all completed in their respective towns, but if you want to take the exam, you have to go to the capital.After all, if a Juren is admitted, how long does it take to get a Jinshi?

Since Jian Ping didn't take the exam himself, he had a general understanding of the situation.When he was about to leave, Tian Wu came back from the border with General Peng.

The boy who was already a little tall has now grown to 1.7 meters in one breath.The once fair skin can be regarded as completely saying goodbye to Takeshi Tian.

Although it is not as dark as a black charcoal head, but the color is darker than honey color, which makes Tian Wu look a little less like a scholar.

The most important thing is that in just half a year, Tian Wu's skills have improved a lot.Although there is still a little gap with Jian Ping, there is no problem in bringing down Tian Wen in twos and threes.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Wen's worries about Tian Wu can finally be relaxed.

Jian Ping read a few more pages of the book, and saw that Tian Wen sewed bank notes into several clothes for the two of them before he was reconciled.For this trip, Tian Wen specially went to exchange a lot of small bank notes, 20 taels to [-] taels, which were sewn in the corners of the clothes in batches.

"Are you ready?" Jian Ping put away the book and sat up on the couch.This trip, Jian Ping didn't want to take a book, he just took bank notes and a few sets of clothes.

Driven by Jian Ping, the two saluted much less.

If Tian Wu's training at the border for half a year is good for Jian Ping and Tian Wen, it is that when the kid came back, he brought back two batches of military horses from the barracks.

Although it is an obsolete army horse that can no longer participate in the battle, there is no problem at all for pulling a cart or something on weekdays.

With these two horses, Jian Ping's carriage was transformed again.Although it was only a little more than a foot wider than the previous carriage, it was half a meter longer.Fortunately, this dynasty had relatively loose requirements for the specifications of chariots and horses.

As long as you don't go on a luxury bus, the transformation under normal circumstances is not a big problem.

After Tian Wen nodded, Jian Ping went to the backyard to check the condition of the carriage.And Tian Wen was in the room, checking things again.

Because of Jian Ping's principle of "you don't have to worry about anything if you have money", the two of them brought enough money for this trip, and kept everything else as little as possible.

In the already two-meter-five-meter-long carriage, a foldable bamboo curtain is directly used in the middle section to separate the front and rear sections when sleeping at night.

Jian Ping specifically inquired, if nothing unexpected happened, it would take about fifteen days to travel all the way from Nan'an City to the capital.

This is basically the time calculated under the condition of traveling non-stop during the day and staying at night.If something happens in the middle, it may take longer.

In view of the fact that most of the people in the team are 'weak' scholars this time, the team will leave one month before the exam.

Just in case, Jian Ping packed enough dry food for three people for a month in the specially modified suitcase under the carriage.

Compressed dried sweet potatoes and very filling "sugar-filled" snacks, neatly stacked three big boxes, occupying three-quarters of the suitcase.

In the rest of the place, put some food that can be eaten on the road.Flower tea, dried fruit, snacks and essential wine.

Enjoyment is secondary. For this kind of tangled travel action in ancient times, Jian Ping and the others still think that not starving themselves to death is the most important thing.

Because of this trip, Jian Ping sold a lot of the feed stacks made here to the team, and used them on the road just in case to ensure that the horses had enough food and grass.

In just a quarter of an hour, Tian Wen packed up the luggage of the two of them and brought them over.Jian Ping led the carriage and walked through the back door. After saying goodbye to Jian Dazhu and Yang Shuxian, he quietly left the village without the villagers noticing.

I don't know when it started, but the people in Jian's Village treated Jian Ping like the God of Wealth.

The literal meaning of the standard meaning-the God of Wealth of the God of Wealth offered in the temple.

The respectful attitude almost made Jian Ping make a golden body as a confession.So in order not to make it difficult to go out, Jian Ping silently chose to slip through the back door.

When he arrived at the county seat, Tian Wu was already waiting with other scholars who were going to the capital together.Jian Meiren will also be admitted this year, but the test is a scholar, so there is no need to go to the capital.

Jian Ping and Tian Wen didn't go to join in the fun, they just watched Tian Wu talking and laughing with those scholars from a distance.

"Xiao Wu has really grown up." When the two of them first arrived at the gate of the escort agency, a special person came to take over the driving of their carriage.

In other words, the Escort comes with a person who helps drive the car.

Five taels of silver for one person is not worth the money.

Because they were about to leave soon, the two of them didn't even get out of the car, but sat directly in the carriage.

The interior of the carriage was separated into two parts by a bamboo curtain, and a half door was specially made for the driver in front.When a person is seated, the door is closed, and there are partitions to keep out the wind from the place a little below the chest, and it does not hinder people from driving.

There is a comfortable lying position, even if the driver wants to take a break while parking, it is not a big problem.There is a bamboo board extending half a meter long on the top, and a special bamboo curtain is hung to block the sun.

The bamboo curtains that hang down are more than one foot apart, and the middle is mainly made of translucent gauze, so it won't hinder the line of sight at all.

The coachman hasn't come yet, what is he doing in the escort agency?So Jian Ping and Tian Wen could sit at the front, close the small door, and put down the bamboo curtains that shade the sun, so as not to hinder the view from looking out, but also not to make people outside pay more attention to this side.

Tian Wen looked at Tian Wu who was full of confidence now, with emotion on his face.
