The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 812 0120, Ximen Leopard Canal ([-])
Before noon, Ximen Leopard threw a total of three people into the river.All of them were responsible for helping the river god to pay tribute and get married, and none of them surfaced again.

None of the people present dared to speak out, and the rich and powerful gentry on the side also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out.Of course they didn't believe that Ximen Leopard was so innocent, and they had already seen that Ximen Leopard did this on purpose.But they can only eat Coptis chinensis dumb, because they have always been bluffing and cheating under the guise of paying tribute for the river god's marriage.

From that day on, Ye County never paid tribute to the River God for marriage.However, Ximen Bao built a river god temple for the river god by the river, and the people of Ye County would go to the river god temple to offer incense on weekdays.

After the incident subsided, many people in Ye County who had moved away came back.Later, many foreigners came to Ye County, which indirectly promoted the economic development of Ye County.

In the sixth year since Ximenbao came to Ye County, half of the construction of the twelve canals had been completed.The people of Ye County have really tasted the sweetness, and the restaurants and inns they built beside the canal have opened.Those who want to operate can rent it out and start their own business, and those who don't participate in the operation can still receive rent dividends.

Half of the twelve canals are completed, and the other half are under intense construction.At the same time, many sheriffs from surrounding counties came to ask for advice.Ximen Leopard naturally knows everything and speaks endlessly, but each person has his own understanding.Many people know how to do it, but whether they can do it is another matter.

The construction of water canals made the people of Ye County work hard, and the area of ​​cultivated land in Ye County suddenly expanded by three or four times.The places that were not suitable for farming before are now connected to the canals.The people in Ye County worked hard to cultivate and became rich within a few years.

The canal has brought benefits to the people of Ye County, and the inns and restaurants built beside the canal have also brought them a lot of money.The urban area of ​​Ye County was twice as large as before. Later, Ximenbao re-planned and rebuilt the city wall of Ye County.Ye County has not only become a well-known wealthy county, but also a frontier fortress.

Although many years have passed, the people of Ye County are still so excited whenever these things are mentioned.Just like the proprietress of Yuelai Inn, she has a bright smile on her face when she talks about it.

The people of Ye County live a good life, and everything they have is thanks to Ximen Bao.So they named those canals Ximenbao Canal, which was actually proposed when they were first repaired.But Ximenbao disagreed at that time, and later the people of Ye County still called those canals Ximenbao Canal.

The proprietress asked the shop assistant to serve Zhao Zheng and the others a pot of good tea, which was given to them by the proprietress.Although there are many people coming and going at Yuelai Inn, the proprietress rarely talks so much with the guests.If she hadn't looked at Zhao Zhengshun, the proprietress wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell them about Ye County.

Of course, this was not what Zhao Zheng said, but what Zhao Dan who was sitting opposite him said.Zhao Dan grew up in the palace, so of course he didn't know what the outside world was like.It is understandable that she has always wanted to go out and travel. Although she is well-clothed and well-fed every day in the palace, there is no freedom there.

There is a poem that says, life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.

In Zhao Zheng's view, the imperial palace is just a huge birdcage.No matter how magnificent the inside is, no matter how many delicacies they can eat, they have already lost their rights.

Zhao Zheng got up and stood in front of the window, watching the busy traffic on the streets of Ye County.Sure enough, it is a rich county comparable to Daliang, and countless businessmen have passed by since then, no wonder this place is so rich.Regardless of the plain dress of the proprietress of Yuelai Inn, Zhao Zhengke has already seen the luminous pearl on her neck.

Luminous pearls are roughly divided into three grades, most of which are circulated in the market are third grade, and second grade luminous pearls are mostly circulated in the hands of wealthy businessmen or princes and generals.As for the real first-class luminous pearls, apart from the royal relatives, only kings or princes and princesses can own them.

According to Zhao Zheng's observation just now, the [-]% night pearl worn by the proprietress's neck is first-class.Just this seemingly inconspicuous night pearl can at least buy this inn.

It's best to go out for a walk after eating, so Zhao Zheng walked out of the Yuelai Inn alone without saying hello to anyone.When he reached the corner, he realized that the eccentric Zhao Linger was following behind him.

Zhao Zheng beckoned to her helplessly, then let her hold his arm, and they walked side by side to the ditch behind the inn.Next to the ditch is a row of willows, next to the willows is a row of poplars, followed by a row of plane trees, and finally some flowers and plants.

At that time, the concept of greening had not yet emerged in the feudal states, so Zhao Zheng was very surprised when he saw this scene.No wonder someone said that if you want to see how a local economy is developing, you only need to look at its natural environment and green area.

Looking at it now, what he said is indeed true. Ye County is a well-known wealthy county. Of course, wealth does not come from the government.How can the rich in the government and the people without money deserve to be called rich? Only the people with money in the government without money can be called rich.Zhao Zheng didn't know what others would think, at least he thought so.

With such a large green area, Zhao Zheng was really eye-opened this time.The canal is indeed a good place where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, especially lying on the soft lawn, I really want to sleep there.Zhao Linger shuttled back and forth among the trees, chasing dragonflies and butterflies for a while.

Silver bell-like laughter rang in his ears, Zhao Zheng at this moment was unprecedentedly calm.He didn't think about anything, just sat quietly by the river, watching the small river, the blue sky and white clouds, and Zhao Ling'er playing carefree.

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, it would be great if he could settle down here.Looking at this picturesque scenery every day, I live with a group of self-sufficient people.What shocked Ye County to Zhao Zheng was not how rich it was, but that Ximen Leopard had left too many imprints here.

Ximen Leopard not only taught them how to make a fortune, but also taught them how to get along with neighbors, how to live in harmony between husband and wife, how to maintain self-control between father and son, and how to communicate between teachers and students.

Ximen Leopard is so powerful that Zhao Zheng had to give this person 32 likes in his heart.It is definitely their blessing that Ye County has Ximen Leopard, and even Wei Guo is also blessed by Ximen Leopard.Many counties and counties around Ye County have also developed very well in recent years.

They are all learning from Ye County's development model. Although they can't keep up with Ye County's footsteps, they are much better than before.At a corner of the canal, Zhao Zheng found a temple with only three houses.
