88, Chapter 88

After Yang Haiyan finished speaking, she looked at Niu Da.

Niu Da thought for a while. Although he was the head of the family, this kind of matter related to the future of the family, so he said: "Madam, I want to ask the family."

Yang Haiyan expressed her understanding: "By the way, the relationship between us is not that of master and servant. Rather, I am the owner of the restaurant, and you are the shopkeeper I hired. The relationship between us is that of employer and employee, so you just follow I'm sorry, you are still good people and will not become slaves." She knew that the ancient people attached great importance to slave registration and good people, and this environment also required them to pay attention, so Yang Haiyan made it clear here first.

Sure enough, Niu Da was relieved after hearing this. No one who can be a good citizen wants to be a slave. "Yes, I understand. Let's go home first and discuss it."

Yang Haiyan said: "No rush, just reply to me tomorrow."

Niu Dadao: "Yes, I will go to town tomorrow to give you an answer."

Yang Haiyan nodded, she was here just for this matter, and went back after saying that. After Yang Haiyan left, Niu Da closed the doors of the manor and returned home.

Niu Da has two sons and two daughters. Both the sons and daughters are married. However, even if the two sons got married, their family would not be separated. In ancient times, it was not popular to separate families when the elders were around.

Niu Da, who stayed at the manor all day long, came back. The eldest granddaughter who took care of the house called out: "Grandpa, why did you come back?"

It's spring time now, and the mother-in-law of Niu's family went to the fields with all the children in the family. The only one who was older than Niu was busy in the manor.

Niu Dadao: "Go to the field, call your grandma and the others, ask them all to come back, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them."

Niu Hua, Niu's eldest granddaughter, said: "Hey."

Niu Hua ran very fast, and after a while, Niu Hua and the others were all screaming. Just then when we got home, Mrs. Niu asked: "Old man, Xiaohua said you have something to discuss. What do you want to discuss?"

Niu Da’s eldest son: “Yes, Dad, what do you want to discuss with us?”

Niu Daerzi: "Dad, you can make the decision if anything happens. We don't care anyway." Isn't it always like this? Niu Daerzi smiled honestly.

Niu Dadao: "This matter is more important. I want to hear your opinions. It is also related to the future of our family. Let's go into the room and talk."

When they heard that it was related to the future of their family, the Niu family were very curious. How can there be anything important in their ordinary people's homes? But the tone of the owner of the family was very cautious, so their curiosity was aroused.

After entering the house, Niu Shi said: "This is what happened..." He repeated Yang Haiyan's words, "What do you think? There are three choices at the moment: one is not to go; the other is I go alone; the third is It's our family."

Mrs. Niu immediately said: "Go, of course. Old man, you are stupid. Our family in the countryside can't earn even 500 silver, let alone one tael of silver a month. It's hard to find work in the town. , the county seat is far away, and now my wife can give us a monthly allowance of one or two cents, and there is also a food subsidy of two hundred cents. Besides, we can allocate a piece of land in the manor to grow food for our family. What are you still worried about?

Old man, think about it, we can earn more than just one tael of silver per month. We have rented our farmland to the villagers, so the rent can be as much as taels of silver a year, right? This is quite the money we earn. "Mrs. Niu was in charge of the family's financial power, and she immediately made some calculations.

After hearing this, Niu Da looked at his son and daughter-in-law: "Where are you?"

Niu Da's eldest son said: "What my mother said makes sense, I think we can go."

Niu Daerzi: "I listen to my father and mother."

Niu Da’s eldest son’s daughter-in-law: “You can make money and have good relationships. My boss is a general. We work for the general. If we know about it, we can also take a look.”

Niu Da's second daughter-in-law: "Sister-in-law said that with this relationship, the children might be able to work under the general in the future."

After Niu Da's family discussed it, Niu Da went to the county seat that afternoon before the next day.

military camp

Han Zhen was very busy. Qin Fang had already submitted the list of recommended commanders. Du Ke directly appointed Han Zhen as the commander of thousands, and Wei Wu was appointed as the centurion. In other words, not only Han Zhen was busy, but Wei Wu was also busy.

Hearing that Yang Dahua was coming, Han Zhen thought she was delivering lunch, arranged the things at hand, and went to the back of the military camp.

Han Zhen: "Big flower."

Yang Dahua felt distressed when she saw the dark circles around Han Zhen's eyes: "Have you been busy these two days?"

Han Zhen consoled her, "It's okay." It's better to be busy, "What's wrong with you?" She didn't bring a lunch box, so she wasn't delivering food.

Yang Dahua explained what she meant, and then expressed her own opinion: "I have already gone to the bank to inquire about it...Ms., do you think it is feasible?" She asked the bank about the method of borrowing money and the interest rate. I also talked about related things.

After hearing Yang Dahua tell the whole story, Han Zhen looked at her in surprise. Always, Yang Dahua gave him the impression of being virtuous, thrifty, good-tempered and hard-working. But besides that, there was nothing else. Unexpectedly, this time gave him a completely subversive impression. He dared to go to the bank to borrow money to purchase Yang Haiyan's shop and manor. This was not something Yang Dahua would do with his current image. .

‌ Han Zhen looked at himself, his eyes were different from before. Yang Dahua was shy: "Ms. sir, what's the matter?"

Han Zhen said with a smile: "No, I think your intention is very good. I can take time to go to the bank with you now. After settling the loan matter, I will come back. "It has to be said that borrowing money to buy a shop and a manor is still in line with his ideas. When a banker is serious, it is better to owe money to a friend than to a banker. Money is involved in the relationship between friends. In the process of getting along, there will always be disagreements.

Ten days later, in mid-March, the imperial court issued the transfer documents for Qin Fang and other five generals.

After Yang Haiyan heard Qin Fang talk about this place, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Yunxiang County?"

Qin Fang saw her surprised expression and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know Yunxiang County?"

Yang Haiyan said: "I know, I have only read it in a book. It was mentioned in a geology book, but it was only mentioned once. Yunxiang County is a county seat in Renzhou, and the area of ​​Renzhou itself is It is relatively small among the eighteen states of Qi State, and Renzhou is located in a remote area. The most important thing is that Renzhou is relatively poor.

Also, it is recorded in the Historical Records of the State of Qi that Renzhou was the territory of King Liang twenty years ago. King Liang was the late emperor’s concubine. After King Liang passed away, Renzhou was taken over by the imperial court, and it is still there today. Not divided. "

Qin Fang said: "Poverty is not terrible. It's better if the imperial court takes over. Otherwise, I am a member of the imperial court and a minister of the emperor. In the territory of other princes, no matter what I do, I have to go through the prince first." If you think so, you will inevitably be beaten into the faction." This is unclear. Therefore, he prefers to do practical things in a territory without a master.

Yang Haiyan felt that what Qin Fang said was quite reasonable. However: "My lord, no matter what, you have to send someone to find out first. Find out who is the current person in charge of Renzhou and the current situation in Yunxiang County. No matter whether he is powerful, rich or poor, all We need to find out one by one.”

Qin Fang said: "Don't worry, Yanyan. The imperial court has given me three thousand barbarians to resettle. I will write down the situation at night and let Kunshi take Tao Shan and Huang Huzi to investigate the situation tomorrow."

Yang Haiyan is relatively reassured about Qin Fang. Although he is young, he has always been relatively safe in doing things because he has been the eldest brother since he was a child.

next day

Qin Fang called Kun Shi, Tao Shan and Huang Huzi early in the morning and gave them instructions.

Renzhou, Yunxiang County.

"What do you think of General Qin who is about to be transferred?" The speaker was a middle-aged man, but not very old. He looked about thirty-five or sixty-six. He was relatively tall, but very thin. , and his face was not very good. This middle-aged man is Yang Shunlei, the magistrate of Yunxiang County. Yang Shunlei came from the imperial examination and was at the end of the second class. This is his second year as the county magistrate of Yunxiang County. In fact, magistrates are often re-elected. Unless they have made particularly outstanding achievements, the county magistrate who has no connections will be in the poor. In rural areas, they are basically re-elected.

An old man said: "The imperial court has never sent a general to defend the city in the past years. This year, it suddenly sent a general to defend the city. Is there any other purpose?" The old man is the county magistrate of Yunxiang County, a local official. Before Yang Shunlei was transferred to Yunxiang County, he was already the county magistrate of Yunxiang County. There is a saying that the camp is made of iron and the soldiers are flowing water. If you put it on Zhuang Xian Cheng, he will be the county magistrate made of iron and flowing water.

Yang Shunlei: "Where is Lao Song? What do you think?"

Lao Song's name was Song Wenbing, and he was the chief bookkeeper of the county. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief registrar form the iron triangle in any county.

Song Wenbing said: "It is written in the imperial documents that General Qin settled the barbarians, but why did he stay after the barbarians were settled? We don't understand this matter. But... if we have Yunxiang County The words of the general guarding the city may be a good thing for us."

Yang Shunlei sighed: "I hope it's a good thing. I have to find out who the airborne city-defending general is. I'll write to him right now and ask him about the situation. Uncle Bai, General's Mansion I'll leave the matter to you. "Uncle Bai is the county magistrate. Because he is older and is the iron-clad county magistrate here, Yang Shunlei respects him more.

The Prime Minister of Bai County said: "Don't worry, I will send you right away... No, I will personally go to the General's Mansion to inspect it. But I can only repair and repair the places that need to be repaired. If the inspection is done well, Well, our county government doesn’t have that much money.”

Yang Shunlei made sense after thinking about it: "Just do the repairs as you said. The county government doesn't have that much money, and you can't make yourself fat even if you slap a swollen face."
