Chapter 300 Come to Houcheng as Soon as Possible
Nandi
Xie Zhan's plan was advancing step by step.
Zhu Congwen bought the Xiaozhuya Island of the Chen family with 200,000 taels of silver.
After Xie Zhan got the silver, he took the land deed and went to the government office with Zhu Congwen to complete the transfer of the land deed.
The people of the Chen family who secretly monitored Zhu Congwen sent back news that Zhu Congwen secretly sent a group of people and tools to the island by boat that night.
Xie Zhan gave all the 200,000 taels he got from Zhu Congwen to Chen Jiaye.
This made Chen Jiaye very happy and felt that he had no selfish intentions.
Looking at the 200,000 taels, Chen Jiaye was very excited.
At Chen Jiaye's urging, Xie Zhan wrote a letter of denunciation in the name of the Chen family. After the letter was written, he gave it to Chen Jiaye for review, and then wrote a letter of request.
Then, the letter of denunciation and the letter of request were put into an envelope, sealed with mud, and finally sent directly to Chang'an.
The completion of this step means that the situation has been settled.
Liaodong County, Houcheng, Tianshui Village
Deng Jie is an ordinary villager in Fu'an Village. Tianshui Village is next to their Fu'an Village.
In the past, Tianshui Village was the same as their Fu'an Village, nothing to praise.
Later, the little prince Tuoba Lian of the Xianbei Royal Court raided Liaoyang County and was arrested by their county lieutenant. The Xianbei Royal Court also said that if they did not release him, they would attack.
During that period, the villagers of their villages, which were very close to the Xianbei grassland, fled in groups. There were also many people who fled from Tianshui Village, and almost the entire village was empty.
Later, Lord Lu came and formed a negotiation team to negotiate with the Xianbei Royal Court and signed a three-year peace treaty.
Not long after, Lord Lu's relatives moved in and lived in the hollow village next to them-Tianshui Village.
Not long after Lord Lu's relatives moved into Tianshui Village, they spent money to buy a large piece of land next to it and prepared to build a house.
They recruited nearly a hundred men from several nearby villages to help build the house and a small private school!
It can be seen that the relatives of Mr. Lu are not short of money.
Before the construction started, I heard that they had specially planned the entire land before building the house.
After the houses with yards were built, they looked very neat and beautiful.
After they finished their houses, the villagers in the nearby villages made a lot of money. Even a few men with good house-building skills were introduced to the construction workshop under the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and now they can get wages every month.
On the other hand, after the house was built, Mr. Lu's relatives moved in one after another, and their clan gathering place was renamed Tianshui New Village.
The vacated old houses were returned to them as the villagers of the original Tianshui Village moved back.
Deng Jie heard that in order to name the newly built private school, Tianshui New Village discussed for three days and finally decided to call it Lu's Private School.
When this name came out, it was said that the villagers of Tianshui Village were very disappointed, because they wanted to call their private school Tianshui Private School at first. Deng Jie thought, it is normal to call it Lu's Private School. If it is called Tianshui Private School, won't you take advantage of it?
Today, Tianshui New Village is a well-known wealthy village in Houcheng North District. The key is that they are also very generous. The Lu's Private School they built is open to the public. Children of school age who are willing to study in nearby villages can go there as long as they pay a certain amount of tuition. The tuition collected by Lu's Private School is not cheap but not expensive.
Deng Jie's family sent a child to Lu's Private School.
Tianshui New Village can be said to be a model village in their Houcheng North District. Not only are every household quite wealthy, but there are also many capable people. They are either working in the government office, serving in the military camp, or working in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce: there are even women working in paper mills and garment workshops.
As far as Deng Jie knows, the village chief of their village dreams of building Fu'an Village into a village like Tianshui New Village. Now he is actively building a good relationship with the village chief of Tianshui New Village, and the effect is obvious. Several smart young men in their Fu'an Village have been taken out to work by Tianshui New Village.
Ciji Village in Qingzhou
In front of a thatched house, two young men squatted in front of a pile of charcoal fire that was about to go out. In front of them, broken pots, white powder, etc. were scattered all over the ground, making a mess.
Because he squatted for too long, Han Yachen felt a little numb in his legs. He glanced at his good brother Sheng Peiguang next to him, only to see that he frowned and focused on the mess.
Han Yachen felt that his good brother had been preparing for so long, and the failure in front of him was a hurdle for his good brother. He should not disturb him and let him calm down. He touched his deflated stomach and decided to cook.
He slowly stood up and walked towards the thatched house, but not long after, he came out again.
As soon as he came out, he heard Sheng Peiguang muttering to himself, "I have a new idea."
Bang! The bamboo rice tube in Han Yachen's hand fell to the ground.
At first, Han Yachen would be very excited to hear this. Now, he is most afraid of hearing this sentence. Sheng Peiguang's words mean that he is going to ruin the family.
He hurriedly said, "Brother Sheng, stop, stop!"
Sheng Peiguang looked up at him.
"It's not that I don't help you, but I am also short of money." Han Yachen almost cried when he said this.
As soon as he saw his look, Sheng Peiguang knew that his good brother was really out of money.
It's really a penny that can make a hero fall. Sheng Peiguang was thinking, where can I get the silver?
Master? Master has no money either. His fellow apprentices? They themselves are big spenders, and each one is poorer than the other. Moreover, even if they are willing to save money from their teeth to support him, it is not enough. Where can he find a sucker to support him in his experiments?
"Brother Sheng, you have no rice at home!" Han Yachen knocked on the rice barrel and said.
"Oh." Sheng Peiguang said, and then didn't take it to heart at all.
Han Yachen sighed, walked over, and said to him, "Otherwise, you can go to teach in the private school in our village. You are so knowledgeable. I will talk to the village chief and it should be okay." At least don't starve yourself to death.
At this time, a boy ran over with a letter in his hand, "Mr. Sheng, there is a letter for you!"
Sheng Peiguang opened it and was a little surprised at first glance. The master has now run to Liaodong County?
He had heard about the negotiation between Lv Desheng, the magistrate of Houcheng County, Liaodong County, and the Xianbei royal court, but his experiment was at a critical juncture and he was not allowed to run around.
In the letter, the teacher described their current wonderful life in Houcheng.
Sheng Peiguang's first feeling was, how could such a good thing happen?
Now there are people willing to be a sucker and support these money-eating beasts?
The teacher and the other three brothers have successfully become parasites. When they are hungry, they have hot meals to eat, and even their clothes have special maids to help wash them.
Seeing this, Sheng Peiguang drooled with envy.
At the end of the letter, he said, I won't talk to you anymore, I still have to write to your other brothers. The teacher wrote to you first because I was afraid that no one would support you and you would starve yourself to death. Anyway, come quickly!
Sheng Peiguang read the letter over and over again. Compared with the previous long-winded ones, his teacher's letter this time was unusually short, ahem, it should be said that it was concise and to the point.
But the teacher really understood him, and he was only one step away from what he said.
Han Yachen was still nagging about him being a teacher in the village.
Sheng Peiguang interrupted him rarely, "I don't want to be a private school teacher anymore, I'm leaving!"
The teacher is worthy of being a teacher, and he actually found such a good place for them!
Now he just wants to pack up and go north, immediately, right away, without a moment's delay!
Han Yachen: "Ah?"
Sheng Peiguang, he didn't say much, he had to leave quickly.
He believed that after receiving the letter, other brothers would definitely rush to Liaodong County like him. He couldn't fall behind, he knew that his brothers were very expensive.
He didn't know whether the sponsor that the teacher found for them, no, whether the family background was rich enough, could withstand their efforts?
Qingzhou and Liaodong County were not far away, and it would be faster to take a boat, but he was now poorer than his face, and had no boat fare. But when his eyes fell on the young man next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Sheng Peiguang was leaving, and Han Yachen was reluctant to let him go.
"As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. My teacher said that there are many opportunities in Liaodong County now, why don't you go with me?"
"The people of Ciji Village are simple, but in the village, you can see how you will live your life at a glance. Your parents are still young, and you have two brothers and a sister. Give yourself a chance to go out and make a living. If you can't make a name for yourself, you can come back."
Han Yachen was moved and felt that what he said made sense, "Then Brother Sheng, wait for me, I will go back and discuss it with my family."
"Hurry up, we have to set off as soon as possible, and besides, the poor family is rich on the road, so take more money!"
"Got it!"
