Quick Transmigration: The Way of Life

Chapter 206
Originally, those officials were all the same, they all liked to be greedy. In order to make money, they were really unscrupulous. Scraping land was a trivial matter, and some people embezzled the money for building dams and roads.

What was even more frightening was that someone actually reached into the granary. The granary was built by the emperor to store grain. Once something important happened, the grain in the granary would be used.

The grain in the granary is changed every five years, and the old grain is sold first, and then fresh grain is bought, but those officials will not sell the old grain at all, but keep Chen Liang. If you buy fresh silver, you will embezzle it all yourself.

This is done by the timid people. The more courageous ones sell the old grain directly and don't buy fresh grain at all.

After Lin Lang knew about this, she felt sorry for those disaster victims, and hated those corrupt officials even more. Of course, her so-called father was among these corrupt officials.

They have food and herbs here, so there is no epidemic or the like. In addition, uncle took people to dredge the river, and the place recovered quickly. After some victims learned about it, they began to go here. come running.

"What should we do? We can't accommodate so many victims here!" Uncle frowned and said in embarrassment.

"Who said it can't be tolerated anymore? After the river receded, a large piece of land was left behind. Let's just distribute those lands to those people and give them some seeds with high yields. Isn't that all right?" Lin Lang knew that the river had receded The land here is very fertile. Although it is still a little muddy there now, I believe it will almost recover in a month or two.

The uncle thought for a while, and then agreed. The flood also destroyed several villages, and the uncle also distributed some land to them, and gave each of them a tael of silver as a subsidy.

Of course, the money was all looted from that aunt's younger brother's house. They said that the three-year-old magistrate received 30 snowflakes of silver. This younger brother had two to three hundred thousand taels before he became a magistrate.

They did not refuse us, and they were able to accommodate them well. The news quickly spread across the country, and more and more victims rushed over, and the imperial court also sent disaster relief ministers over.

But when the minister rushed over, everything had returned to nature on their side, the houses were slowly being built, and human settlements appeared again on the land where the flood had receded.

Lin Lang also bought some sandy land, which is the best for growing white radishes and watermelons. Of course, this kind of land is also very cheap, only one tael of silver per mu.

The minister looked at the vibrant scene here, and nodded with satisfaction, but other places are not so peaceful. Due to the loss of people, many places are barren, uninhabited, and very desolate.

Because they did a good job here, they were also rewarded by the emperor. It is estimated that after three years, my little uncle will be transferred to the capital. If you are an official here, it is at the feet of the emperor, where power is concentrated!
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Lang has been living with her little uncle. As for her so-called father, no one has mentioned it.

However, that father's position has been taken down, and now he is idle at home. My uncle also knows that this man is not willing to be ordinary, otherwise he would not marry his mother for the sake of power, and he is also afraid that he will make trouble behind his back, so he made an agreement with him Well, if he has been obedient like this, after he reconciles with Gao Shi, he will find a way to get him a sixth-rank official.

A sixth-rank official, some people can’t reach such a height in their entire lives, like Gao Yuan, who was born as a fellow Jinshi, and a fellow Jinshi is equivalent to a Mrs. Ru, very tasteless, some people are a seventh-rank official all their lives , he can be a sixth-rank official, which is already very remarkable.

So Gao Yuan fell silent, and the little uncle took them with him when he returned to the capital to report on his duties. Of course, the aunt didn't take them with him, but his daughter will be brought with him then.

"Sister, I haven't seen you in these years. I wonder how you are doing?" Gao Xue asked with a smile, but her eyes were full of hatred. Her aunt was imprisoned in Zhuangzi, and even her uncle was imprisoned. , although he didn't die, but he was almost dead. After all, he had embezzled so much money, it would be nice to have a life left.

Lin Lang looked at the girl who was saying hello, a cold light flashed in her eyes, this woman was not as gentle and kind as she appeared in front of her, she was poisonous inside, she was the one who proposed to send Lin Lang to the family temple, she was really cruel, They are all sisters of the same mother. You said that although Lin Lang escaped from debts, but with his little uncle protecting her, she must have done nothing. This woman turned black and white and framed Lin Lang to death.

Lin Lang thought of this, and nodded slowly, "I'm doing well, but I don't know how my sister is doing? I heard that my sister has been in charge of the house these few years, it's amazing!"

It’s okay if I don’t mention this, but Gao Xue is full of anger when I mention it. Although Gao Yuan is a county magistrate, his family background is poor. A brother-in-law looked at him and didn't dare to be too corrupt, so most of the family's expenses depended on Gao.

But the Gao family wants to reconcile with Gao Yuan, so naturally they have to take away all the dowry. In addition, Gao Yuan's magistrate is gone, which is equivalent to no income. Well, within two or three years, a family fortune was ruined.

"Sister, we are all one family. We are relatives whose blood is thicker than water. Why haven't you come back to see me and my father after all these years? Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are not filial?" Gao Xue couldn't help it, and asked directly road.

Lin Lang snorted coldly when he heard this, "If I were you, I should shrink my neck and be a man now."

Hearing this, Gao Xue subconsciously glanced at the uncle, a trace of jealousy emerged in her heart, why isn't such a good uncle her own uncle?It is indeed the uncle of that little bitch Lin Lang, who is really angry.

"Daddy is just a fellow Jinshi now, and has not received any official position, so if he wants to be promoted, he has to rely on my uncle. If this matter goes wrong...will Daddy kill you?" Lin Lang asked softly.

No matter how mature Gao Xue was, she was still just a little girl. When she heard this, her eyes turned red and she ran out unwillingly, but she never dared to find fault with Lin Lang again.
