Chapter 272 Gongsun Wubao

Xu Da nodded lightly, and the matter was settled.

"However, I'm afraid you have to go to the city to meet him in person. Doctor Gu said he wants to see who he wants to work for." Xu Da added.

Xu Yue thought for a while, "Then I'll go there next time I take a rest."

Xu Da nodded, with an indulgent look, inviting Xu Yue to play a game of chess with him.

Of the five members of the family, except for Xu Dalang, a master disruptor, Xu Yue is the worst at chess, and Xu Da's intentions are self-evident.

Xu Yue felt offended, and said in a deep voice, "Father, I won't take you to bully people like this."

Xu Da stayed, with a pitiful look on his face, "Come on, just the next game, just one game, and go back to sleep after the game, how about it?"

"...That's fine." Seeing how pitiful the old man in front of him was, Xu Yue's heart softened.

Then she will let him win once, and it is rare for Father to go home once, so he should treat him as a daughter to honor Lao Tzu.

Needless to say, Xu Da won naturally, as if he drank fake wine, he laughed so hard that the whole courtyard could hear his happiness.

"Xu Qingyang, you don't want to sleep anymore, do you?"

In the main house next door, Ms. Wang Pingping, who had just fallen asleep and was awakened, shouted angrily.

The father and daughter in the room were startled, quickly covered their mouths, bowed their backs, and evacuated lightly.

Before leaving, they still didn't forget to look at each other.

Xu Yue's eyes were full of resentment: Dad, are you happy now?

Xu Da looked resentful: I almost forgot that your mother, the tigress, came back!
The father and daughter shook their heads helplessly, and they dispersed tacitly.
.
Half a month passed quickly, and when it was the academy's turn to take a rest, Xu Yue and her elder brother Xu Dalang did not go home directly as usual, but crossed Xujiazhuang and headed towards Yuyang County.

Along the way, the cold weather did not affect the enthusiasm of travelers. Surrounding villagers and hawkers, with their agricultural products or fresh gadgets, strode towards the county town and Xujiazhuang.

I went to Xujiazhuang, and the destination was the market in Xujiazhuang. By the way, I bought a few eggs and invited the whole family to take a hot bath in the bathhouse, waiting for the New Year.

Those who go to the county seat are to buy some basic daily necessities.

Although there are many merchants in Xujiazhuang Bazaar, there are not many daily necessities sold here. On the contrary, farmers who sell goods like to go here because they can get a reasonable price.

Everyone usually takes this route, first go to Xujiazhuang to sell their own products, take a bath, eat a cake, and then comfortably ride the bullock carts of the drivers from Xujiazhuang, and take the money exchanged from Xujiazhuang to purchase in the county.

But often, after receiving the coins consumed by the farmers, the merchants in the county will transfer to Xujiazhuang to buy bulk commodities with those big merchants, such as oil, grain, rice noodles, ironware, pots and bowls.

Anyway, no matter what, Xujiazhuang can get a cut of it in the end.

Also because there are more and more caravans coming and going, the law and order around the county is getting better and better, and with the title of General Xu's daughter, those sneaky gangsters dare not come here.

Of course, there is another important reason why security is so good.

Xujiazhuang takes in refugees all the year round, no matter men, women, old or young, they all want them. Those who enter Xujiazhuang can be allocated fields to cultivate, or get a job arrangement in a factory.

In this way, there are almost no idlers around, and everyone has work to do, land to grow, and food to eat. Even beggars are about to disappear, so where do thieves and robbers come from?
In just three years, Xujiazhuang has grown from a small manor to the largest private Ubud around Yuyang County.

Such a powerful rise made the gentry of the local aristocratic family panic and joy at the same time.

There is no other reason, only because of the market in Xujiawubao, the surrounding trade has been greatly developed.

And because the Xu family and his wife now control almost one-third of the military and political power under Gongsun Zan, the Yuyang county government turned a blind eye, which made the Xu family, which was originally a small market, , has now become the most popular trading point for merchants in Yuyang County.

The tax rate charged by the Xujia Bazaar is much lower than that in the county, and there are quite complete charging rules such as charging transaction fees according to the level of transaction volume. Everyone thinks that the transaction here is very cost-effective.

And, most importantly, Xu Jiachou.

Xujiazhuang's chips are the fairest trading currency for businessmen since they have traded for so many years.

But it is also this Xujiachou that makes Xujiazhuang a place that the gentry of the aristocratic family loves and hates.

They love the fairness of Xu Jiachou, but hate being manipulated by the Xujiabazaar because of Xu Jiachou, and they dare not leave when they want to leave.

Because they left Xujiazhuang, they had to bear the risk of bad currency transactions alone.

The loss involved is not big or small, but if you are unlucky, it will be enough for you to deal with.

Recently, because Wang Pingping led troops to station in Yuyang County, the surrounding security is so good that even a little girl dares to have fun on the road alone.

Wang Pingping's reputation for being strict in running the army has long been passed down from Bingzhou, and now the people of Yuyang have experienced it for themselves.

The stationing of the army is not a trivial matter. Not only is the internal management strict, but the external environment is also very tight.

Since Wang Pingping came back, the entry and exit procedures of the entire Yuyang County have become stricter.

Yes, compared to the previous level of household registration and population flow management, the prefect of Yuyang County and others directly used the word strict.

Two years ago, during the heavy snow disaster, Gongsun Zan dealt with a lot of fat gentry, and released a lot of land to the tenants, let the tenants return to the free people, and divided the fields and land to them for farming, which increased the number of fisheries again. The taxpayer population of Yang County.

It was also from this time that Gongsun An, who was pushed to the household registration management position by Xu Da, started to re-register the household registration yellow book.

Now the yellow book in the hands of the people of Yuyang County is no longer the old yellow book, but a brand new one.

Not only was the paper changed to harder and smoother Xujia yellow paper, but the contents of the household registration were also recorded in more detail than before.

This is a huge project, so it took nearly two years from the start to the present, and Gongsun An barely finished the task until his hair became bald.

But what Gongsun An didn't expect was that all these arrangements seemed to be for today.

If so, what does that mean?
It means that as early as two years ago, his cousin and sister-in-law had been coveting Yuyang County.

But today's prefect, Su Ci, has already been largely ignored by Xu Da. All affairs, big or small, in Yuyang County basically need Xu Gong and Xu Biejia to look over them before making decisions.

As for Gongsun Yuan of the big house, he "voluntarily" resigned from office and went back to his hometown to take care of the elderly because of his negligence half a year ago.

Now the leadership team in Yuyang County Yali is all Xu Da's own people, including Zhao Bei and Zhang Fei brothers.
