Farmhouse is so old

Zhou Su's voice attracted several people nearby, Wang Xi'er and the others came forward to look at them one after another. Seeing the scars on Zhang Lan and Zhou Su's body, Wang Xi'er became unsteady and began to tremble, unable to bear it any longer and fell on Zhou Dafu. Weeping loudly, he kept muttering: "Sin, God, if you want to send plague, just attack me, an old woman, what are you doing to my capable and smart granddaughter, she is still young."

When everyone saw Wang Xier like this, they all went to persuade her, worrying that she would be too sad and hurt her body.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Uncle has prepared the medicine for me. After applying it, the scars have faded a lot." Zhang Lan and Zhou Su also took Wang Xi'er's hand and comforted them in a low voice.

Seeing her being so obedient, Wang Xi'er cried even harder.Cursing at God in her heart, she wished she could suffer for these two well-behaved children.

After everyone's persuasion, Wang Xi'er stopped crying and looked at Tang Qing with pleading eyes, hoping that Tang Qing could heal the scars on their bodies.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely cure them." Tang Qing said affirmatively, patting the back of Wang Xi'er's hand.Even if he takes care of his two children a lot, he will try his best to treat them.

After finally persuading Wang Xier, after being overjoyed and sad, he didn't rest well for a period of time, and couldn't stand it anymore and fell into a coma. After Wang Xier was settled, Tang Qing and the others came to the main hall to talk.

"When we came, we saw a lot of people outside and brought a lot of things. What are you doing?"

Zhang Lan and the others were planning to open the door to do business, but they failed. The door was filled with things, and Zhou Shan and the others were still entertaining outside.

"They are all fellow villagers who were rescued from the plague before. They came here to thank them with something." Tang Qing sighed as he spoke, and said, "After this plague, I don't know how many wives and families have been separated, and their families have been destroyed."

"That's right, we ordinary people are the ones who suffer from natural disasters and man-made disasters." Zhang Xing and the others also sighed.

Farmers rely on God's favor to eat. If God is happy, life will be easier, but if God is not happy, life will be difficult.

Seeing their resentment, Tang Qing also sighed in his heart. At this time, people attribute everything to God, and never think about such things as man's victory over heaven. More people pray to God and worship Buddha as soon as something happens. Buddha bless.

"Okay, let's not talk about such a heavy topic. Things are in the past. We should look forward. After all, life is still going on." The sad atmosphere just now has not passed, and this will bring up such a heavy topic again. The main hall was overcast and the atmosphere was scary.

Tang Qing hurriedly changed the subject and said, "I'm going to open another pharmaceutical factory in the town. This time it is expected to employ about 3000 people. We may build the workshop ourselves."

As soon as the words fell, the others looked at Tang Qing in amazement, opening another pharmaceutical factory?The people in the village...don't have enough hands, how can we get any more people to open another family?

"This man..."

"Don't worry about the manpower. I plan to promote some of our factory who are better at doing things to come to the town to help. It must be a bit difficult at the beginning, but you can't just stop doing it because of difficulties. People are forced to work. Those who came out, like the eldest sister and the second sister, were afraid that they could not do well at first, but now they are doing very well."

Tang Qing is quite confident in everyone, and the process of making medicinal materials is not difficult. If you are a little dexterous, you can read it once, and almost do it a few days longer. Practice makes perfect.

"You can recruit a group of people when the people in the village leave. I think our village has added a lot of people in recent months. We can recruit more people from the surrounding villages." Tang Qing continued, he still wanted to More people are employed, so even if the land is small, they still have jobs that can support their families.

There is a pharmaceutical factory in the village, and there are no sneaky people.Who wants to be a ruffian in life, but suffers from no opportunities, and can't earn much money from farming, and wants to have a dental festival all year round. I have to think and think again, and some greedy and unwilling people start to steal chickens and dogs. , With a pharmaceutical factory, it is easy to work, and the wages are high. It is not a problem to eat meat every month. Who wants to go back to the old days.

After this plague, more people lost their livelihoods. With this pharmaceutical factory, at least half of the people have the hope of surviving, and they can still make money. Why not do it.

The most important thing right now is to recruit people to build the workshop. There is no workshop in the town that can accommodate 3000 people. Tang Qing has to build it himself.

And this time Tang Qing plans to build a workshop that integrates a canteen and a dormitory, so that those who are far away from home don't have to run back and forth every day.

Tang Qing roughly explained the idea to everyone, and no one objected, and they didn't know much about this aspect. Hearing what Tang Qing said, he knew it was a remarkable project. Apart from praising him, the rest couldn't get in the way. .

"It's good that you have a clear idea of ​​this matter, and we can't help too much, as long as we can do it with people and money, there is no difference." Everyone discussed for a long time before they agreed on a general matter.

After dismissing the folks who came to give gifts, Tang Qing and the others had dinner.

"Ahem, I have something to tell everyone." Tang Qing put down his chopsticks and coughed, glanced at Zhou Qing and saw him nodding, Tang Qing then said: "Qingzi is pregnant, and I may be much busy next time. Please help me a lot.”

"Really?" When they heard that Zhou Qing was pregnant, everyone looked at Zhou Qing.Naturally, Wang Xi'er and Zhou Dafu were the happiest. The unhappiness during the day was swept away and replaced by surprises.

In the next few days, Zhou Qing became a key protection target, and people looked at him everywhere he went, while Tang Qing ran around to check the land, busy in the dark.

"Qing boy, come, take two freshly baked steamed buns to eat on the way." Tang Qing just passed the steamed stuffed bun shop, and an aunt wrapped two for him neatly.

Tang Qing touched his body and found that he didn't bring any money when he went out today, so he said to the aunt who sold the buns with some embarrassment: "Ma'am, I don't have any money today, so I won't eat."

The aunt put the steamed stuffed bun into Tang Qing's hand, pretending to be unhappy, and said, "How much money do you need to eat buns here? From now on, you come every day, and the aunt will pay you every day."

"This... okay." Tang Qing declined but had to accept it, a little embarrassed, and reminded himself not to forget to bring money next time.

But what happened next, Tang Qing didn't expect.

"Come here, this is a pig that was just killed. Give your husband these two pig's trotters to make up for his body."

"That's all that's left of the sweetest fruit tree in my house, don't be disgusted."

"You can't be full just eating buns, so come in and have a bowl of noodles."

Seeing the enthusiastic folks around, Tang Qing had no choice but to run away. He really didn't have the face to accept everyone's enthusiasm.

As soon as he got home, Prefect Lu and the officials came with an imperial edict.

Tang Qing and his family knelt in front of the gate to welcome the imperial decree. The whole article was written in classical Chinese. It was nothing more than meritorious service in curing the plague and donation of food. Most of the others were incomprehensible to Tang Qing, except for the last sentence As a baron, he understands the grant of five hundred acres of land.

Kowtowing and kneeling to thank, Tang Qing and the others could stand up after receiving the imperial decree. There were also many people kneeling outside the house.They were also very excited, this is an imperial decree!It's the first time I've seen the rumored imperial decree today, and I can brag about it to my relatives and friends for a lifetime when I go back.

And this is the first time that their Wenshui County has produced a lord, it is really an honor, and it is also a great thing to see a lord in one's lifetime.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." After Tang Qing handed the imperial decree to Zhou Qing, he saluted Lu Pingze, counting him as having a conscience and not forgetting himself.Running around is not just for this moment.

"Thank you, you are a lord now, I should salute you." Lu Pingze turned sideways to prevent Tang Qing from carrying his luggage.He said again: "I also asked for the plaque you asked for."

"Come here, uncover the red cloth." After Lu Pingze finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and several officials came up with a plaque that was also covered with red cloth.

Tang Qing went up to it himself, pulled it hard, and a plaque was revealed. The solemn and solemn plaque was engraved with four big characters "Jishan Renjia" with vigorous strokes, and even the words had a majestic feeling, as if a saint had come in person.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." The common people who were just about to get up knelt down again, and shouted, which was respect from the heart.

After Lu Pingze left, Tang Qing hung the plaque on the gate of the house so that everyone could see it. Some passing people even bowed to the plaque, which made Tang Qing quite embarrassed. If he stood in the middle of the gate, he would be the kneeling person. How does it feel weird.

Not long after it was hung up, except for Sun's family in the town, Zhao, Liu, and Chen's family all came to visit with gifts.

"Master Tang, I have admired you for a long time." The heads of the three families said respectfully to Tang Qing.

Tang Qing pursed his lips, and just nodded to them. Now that he is a lord, he doesn't need to be polite to them anymore. Nodding is already counted as an attitude.

There is nothing to be courteous. I didn’t see them come out to express their opinions during the plague before, and they didn’t donate any money and food. Let’s just leave a bunch of servants and maids and leave by boat. Now that the plague is over, they come back again. I heard that many servants have been sold. , and replaced them with new ones, saying that those who have survived the plague are not good for the family's wealth.

It is really rare to be so ruthless in business. Like Cheng Ziyu, he knows that he will do some good deeds every year. Business people believe in karma. The more good deeds they do, the more fortune they will have.

Like many rich people in previous lives, they would build temples, donate money, and create public welfare companies, including himself, who also donated a lot of money. Whether it was for face, peace of mind, or purely to help others, at least they were not cold-blooded.

There are still many people like these three families in this world, and Tang Qing can't condemn them. It's just that he may not be able to do it if he is to be so cold-blooded, and he doesn't like people like them. It's no wonder that things and groups are divided They can only sit and sit as rich people in this town, and they are nothing if they leave this town. Fortunately, they are still complacent.

Accepting the gift from them, Tang Qing entertained them politely. At first, Tang Qing thought that they had come to discuss something, but in the end they left after a few words of politeness.

Let Tang Qing be confused, it's that simple?

In fact, before Tang Qing opened a delivery shop in the town, the other three felt that

Threats, I discussed getting him, and then I saw him getting close to the prefect, so I took a break for a while.

Now that everyone has become a lord, they can't make any mistakes. They all come to show their faces one after another, so that Tang Qing can get to know them.
