The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter
Chapter 152
Chapter 152
Because there was an order in advance, there were 3000 to [-] people to watch the ceremony, and all of them dared not show their grandeur, and the atmosphere was stagnant.
All of them knelt down on the high platform, not daring to look up, their faces were pale and trembling.
However, Gu Chuhan was still walking back and forth, those footsteps seemed to be stepping on their hearts, and he was always frightened, his back was wet with sweat.
"I told them to go and come back quickly. It's been half an hour, and no one has come back! It's really useless! It seems that scholars have to come!" Gu Chuhan said, turning his head to look at the people kneeling on the ground.
Wang Guangyi felt that her eyes were fixed on him, and he heard her footsteps coming, getting closer and closer, his whole body was trembling with fear.
There was a timid official, his eyes were blackened, and he passed out.
Gu Chuhan opened his mouth, "Prince Wang! You were the one who handled the marriage of the God of the River, right?"
When her voice sounded, Wang Guangyi felt his eyes darken, "My lord... my lord... my lord..."
Seeing his frightened bear that was about to pee, Gu Chuhan secretly cursed in his heart.You didn't expect this moment when you took the bribe, did you?But he is an official after all, and she doesn't have the authority to deal with him, so she has to find a way to talk about Zhang Hongyu's matter.She sighed, her voice slowed down, "Xiancheng Wang! Why do you think they haven't come back for so long?"
Wang Guangyi heard that her voice was gentle, and she didn't want his life. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he said with trembling lips, "My lord! I think...it must be...the river god's guests! Let them be guests! Today We may not be able to wait!"
He applauds his quick wit!
But Gu Chuhan didn't intend to let him go, "Witch Yang and Master Yang are the emissaries of the River God, so it's reasonable to be kept by the River God! Why didn't the young master come back this chapter?"
"Zhang...Master Zhang is a talented person, outstanding in learning, and handsome, like an envoy of God! The River God may have left him as an envoy of God! He has become a god! Even if he is not a god, following the God of the River, he is still a half God and half immortal! This is a great thing that can't be done in a few lifetimes!" Once he opened his mind, Wang Guangyi said it more and more smoothly.He knew in his heart that Gu Chuhan was trying to shirk the crime on him, but in order to save his life, he couldn't care less about anything!
"Well..." Gu Chuhan nodded in response, "What you said is true! I just came to Nanle County, and I don't know the customs here, so I'm not as good as you! Hahahahaha! Wang Xiancheng! You are worthy of being the county of Nanle County Cheng! Not bad, not bad!" Smiling, he patted Wang Xiancheng.
Immediately, Wang Xiancheng felt that the shoulder she had patted seemed to be entangled with Yin Qi, and it was icy cold.
Gu Chuhan shook the beads on his wrist, "Everyone, get up! Wang Xiancheng said that the River God is staying with guests today! He also said that Master Zhang became the God of the River God's envoy! It must be a celebration! We can't wait until we wait. ! It's all gone! Go back!"
After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go home in a hurry.
Gu Chuhan stopped again, "Wait! What's the matter! Those who collect food taxes, hurry up!"
Those Lizheng township officials responded in a hurry, and all the people were too scared to refute and responded again and again, and they scattered in a hurry.
Pan Yewei stared at Gu Chuhan who was talking to Ji Lan for a while, then looked at the tumbling water of the Zhang River, and led the people away quickly.
Gu Chuhan asked Wang Guangyi to lead people to tear down the platform, and she led people to search the Immortal Temple, and the ceremony officials who arranged for the river god to marry his wife.
There was Ji Lan stationed with troops, which was so powerful that they immediately searched the Immortal Temple and the house of the ritual officer.
The money collected this time has not had time to be divided up, and in addition to previous years, there are countless gold and silver treasures. After an inventory, there are as many as 400 million taels of silver.
It is astonishing and shocking!To have searched so many people's fat and people's cream! ?
And the deeds of He An have been brought back to the village by all the people, and the whole county was shocked!
But they didn't dare to mention the matter of marrying the God of the River again.
Because the few people who yelled in the early days were all arrested and put in prison, it was said that they sowed speech and incited the people to rebel, which is also a capital offense!
However, many people were happy, both the witch and Master Yang were thrown into the river!From now on, there will be no such thing as the river god marrying a wife!No more fear of being confiscated and donated!Not to mention that the beautiful daughter of the family will be chosen as the daughter-in-law of the river god!
Zhang Nai ran after him for two days, looking at the confiscated gold and silver treasures, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth. They have to hand in donations every year, and whoever refuses to hand in the donation will end badly!These are all people's fat and people's ointment!These corrupt officials and witches have drained the blood of the common people, and they are rich!
With so much gold and silver, Gu Chuhan's eyes are also hot. Holding two big gold ingots, he smiled and squinted his eyes, "Oh hehehe! Money! My aqueduct! So much money! It's a great aqueduct!"
Seeing her like this, it's not that she wants to be a little bit greedy, but she actually called for the repair of the canal, and everyone in Qingquan couldn't help laughing speechlessly.
"My lord! These are all dirty silver! They must be handed over to the treasury!"
Gu Chuhan pointed a knife across the eye, "I investigated and dealt with it! I must be divided! Otherwise, who will repair the canal in Nanle County!?" He said emphatically and snorted.
The six-hundred-mile express letter was sent directly to Kyoto.
As for the Pan family and the beneficiaries behind him, Ji Bai and Ji Lan meant to tell her not to move yet, "The Pan family has officials in the court, and even though they have the support of the Chief Assistant, you are a small county magistrate. Remembering them, fearing that their lives will be lost! So far, it is already a great achievement! Leave the rest to their superiors!"
Gu Chuhan was still waiting for Su Jin. Since being scared away, that guy hasn't come again, no!He should have come here secretly, but he didn't come out to see her!snort!
She was chanting here, and Su Jin came over that night without chanting.
Seeing him, Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows and teased, "Little Chunqing! Come here!"
Su Jinjun's face was dark, but he couldn't help the red ears, and his fingers holding the food box tightened again and again. He took a deep breath and put the food box on the table.
Gu Chuhan washed his hands spontaneously, came to sit down, and saw that there was a Buddha jumping over the wall in the food box, as well as some refreshing side dishes and snacks, and a table was set up in a short while.
"Is it for me to celebrate?" He asked with a smile.
Su Jin looked at her with a dark face, and was about to nod in response when Ji Bai's voice came from outside.
He was still in the county government, "Brother Gu!"
Gu Chuhan was puzzled, "Didn't you say you're leaving?"
Su Jin also stared at her quietly.
"Why do you act like I'm cheating!" Gu Chuhan muttered and was about to get up.
Su Jin pulled her to sit down.
Gu Chuhan glared at him and got up again.
Su Jin pulled her down again, and said in a deep voice, "No!"
The two stared at each other.
Outside, Qingquan has already stepped up to stop Ji Bai in a soft voice, "Second Master Ji! My lord has been too tired for the past few days, and my servant saw her falling asleep on the desk just now! I didn't dare to disturb you! If you have something to do, Second Master Ji, why don't you come tomorrow?" Say it again!"
Ji Bai was taken aback when he heard that, he saw that the lights in the study room were still on, thinking of her falling asleep on the desk tired, "Wake him up and go to bed to sleep! I... will look for him tomorrow!"
Qingquan smiled slightly and sent him out.
Hearing that Ji Bai had left, Su Jin picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her.
Holding the chopsticks, Gu Chuhan stared at him with his chin resting on his shoulders, looking so pretty!Tut and tut, "I don't want to eat anymore!"
Su Jin was scooping up soup for her, listened to her, paused, and put the soup in front of her, "What do you want to eat?"
"Eat you!" Gu Chuhan said with a smile in his eyes, and smacked his lips as he spoke.
Su Jin blushed immediately, "Stop talking nonsense! Eat well!"
Gu Chuhan pursed his lips, "Bu—" picked up the bowl and started to eat.
Seeing her angry and unhappy appearance, Su Jin raised her heart, thinking of being said to be puzzled before, she tightened her hands.But who did Jiu'er learn her nasty talk from?
Looking at her again, Su Jin blushed and said, "I...feed you!"
Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows, stopped and looked at him.
Su Jin took the bowl and chopsticks from her hand, took the mushrooms and fed them to her lips.
Gu Chuhan blinked, stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, touched his blushing face, "It's so hot!"
Su Jin grabbed her hand and pulled it down, frowning blushingly, "Hurry up and eat first!"
Seeing that his handsome face was flushed, his ears were completely red, but his eyes were staring at her feeding, Gu Chuhan sat obediently like a well-behaved cat, and he ate every bite.
Su Jin was feeding her, watching her eat everything she was feeding, her cheeks were bulging, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and joy gradually filled her heart, pouring out from her eyes.
His interest is getting stronger and stronger, if Gu Chuhan doesn't call to stop, he can keep feeding.
"If you eat more, you will be full..."
Su Jin withdrew his hand without hesitation.
Gu Chuhan looked at him, and suddenly leaned close to him, chuckled and asked, "I'm going to take a shower and groom, do you want to help too?"
Su Jin's face flushed instantly, You Qi stared at her angrily, reached out and grabbed her violently, and pressed her into his arms.
"Oh?" Gu Chuhan held his shoulder and looked at him.
Staring at her small face for a long time, Su Jin finally couldn't help it, and didn't want to do anything wrong, so he took her lips and kissed her, with anger, he invaded and swept her with a long tongue, and devoured her angrily.
Little Chunqing counterattacks and turns into an old rascal in seconds! ?
Finally letting go of those things that cannot be done, Su Jin was a little angry and gave up on herself, and kissed her recklessly and revengefully, the deeper the kiss, the more ferocious the kiss, she wished she could swallow her up!
He didn't stop for a long time, Gu Chuhan was blocked by him and couldn't take a breath. From time to time, his face flushed and he couldn't breathe, and he grabbed his skirt and patted him.
Su Jin panted and let her go, her watery peach eyes flashed with a dark fire that devoured the depths.
Seeing him like this, Gu Chuhan gasped for breath and flinched back.It's overdone!Little Chunqing has become an old rascal!
Su Jin noticed and grabbed her tightly, not allowing her to run away.
Seeing that his eyes were getting darker and darker, and he clearly wanted to do it again, Gu Chuhan's eyes turned darkly, and he reached into his clothes with his little hand, sat on him and moved, "It hurts me!"
Su Jin blushed and stood up quickly.
Gu Chuhan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly moved away and stood still.Tiny!Fight with me!hum!
Staring at her, Su Jin's handsome face turned red, red and black again, and glared at her angrily.
Gu Chuhan smiled furiously, "Go to the bed and wait, I'll take a shower first!" He waved his hands and went straight to the clean room.
Su Jin stared at her helplessly as she entered the clean room, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but thinking of the last time he fled in a hurry, he held back.Those little naughty essays that I had read emerged in my mind in a mess, and I was stupefied, and I couldn't help but think that Gu Chuhan also...to him...
Over there, Gu Chuhan finished washing, and when he came out, he was in a daze with a flushed face, "You didn't run away!?"
When Su Jin came back to his senses, she saw that she was wearing three layers of pajamas. Although it was light and casual, it was not as fragrant as he thought, but after taking a hot bath, her fumigated face was delicately white and powdery, and her half-wet black Against the backdrop of her hair, her phoenix eyes were clear and shining, like a water fairy, and she couldn't help but hug her tightly.
Gu Chuhan smiled lightly and hugged his neck, bit his sexy and slender neck lightly, pushed him away, took the book and went to the bed, "Go and wash it!"
Wash...Wash it clean...Come here...Su Jin saw her casually leaning on the bed, instantly discouraged, and lost again.
Seeing his handsome face blackened with anger, and the resentment all over his body condensed into substance, Gu Chuhan raised the corner of his mouth.
Su Jin turned her face away and ignored her, went to find her booklet and account books and took them out, "Where is the warehouse?"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Chuhan hurriedly sat up, "I have taken off my pants, and you want to run again!?"
"You...don't say this anymore!" Su Jin thought that she was with men every day, and maybe she had learned from them, her eyes flickered coldly.
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, the peach blossom eyes that were charming just now had already turned dark, and the air-conditioning began to rise from his body, Gu Chuhan hurriedly raised his hand, and said solemnly, "Okay! Don't say anything!"
Su Jin stared at her for a long time, confirmed what she said, and went out to find the warehouse by herself.
Gu Chuhan came up to hold him back, "That's the money I got out of it, and I still have to repair the canal, so I'll get some of it!"
"I'll take the money for you! You just sell the other properties!" Su Jin looked at her and said.
"No! Zhuangzi, those fields and houses, look big, and there are not many big ones in total! If you want to build this poor and dilapidated place, how can you do it if you don't have money! Besides, those are the money of ordinary people, and I still want to hide the wealth in What about the people! Return the donations collected this year to them!" Gu Chuhan dragged him and refused to let him go.
Su Jin naturally wanted to follow her in everything, but the officialdom couldn't justify it. Li Anzhi delayed the manufacture of warships and chariots because of the interests of the upper class, and transferred her to Nanle County. After all, the selfishness is too much, "Nanle County has been delayed in paying taxes in the past years, and has not collected them all. It is impossible to return them to the people. It is possible to exempt from taxes for a year!"
"Three years!" Gu Chuhan dissatisfied with a dark face.
Seeing her fighting for the common people, Su Jin patted her head, "I'll fight for you."
Unsatisfied, Gu Chuhan followed him to the warehouse.
He watched helplessly as he took away all the gold, silver and jewelry in several boxes with the shadows, turning them all into stones, and the stones turned into gold and silver again, and the shadows followed him away carrying things.
"empty!"
Seeing her bitter resentment, Qingquan couldn't help laughing secretly, coaxing her, "Young Master Ninth, don't be angry! If the imperial court allocates the money, Young Master will definitely send it back to you as soon as possible!"
Gu Chuhan didn't know that these were dirty silver!She wanted to stay but couldn't.Unhappy, he turned and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, she went to practice sword again.
Wang Qixiu was waiting at the side with a snack box, seeing her heroic, unrestrained figure, she admired her even more.Who in the world can have his wisdom to solve the matter of the river god marrying his wife in one fell swoop, and no one dares to mention this bad custom! ?Earlier, an official posted a notice that he was not allowed to marry another wife for the God of the River. The official died of a sudden illness.He eliminated the chief culprits in this way, and no one dared to make trouble anymore!
Ji Bai also rushed over early in the morning to look for her. With so much gold and silver confiscated, it was a big problem to transport it back to central Beijing, and it was even more unsafe in the county government office.Although there is an elder brother who leads troops to station here, but the inner ghost is hard to guard against!Worrying about her safety too!
As a result, as soon as he came in, he saw a woman carrying a food box and watching Gu Chuhan who was practicing sword affectionately. His expression was slightly stiff and he couldn't help frowning.She looks attractive, and there are peach blossoms everywhere she goes!
Gu Chuhan put away his sword after practicing for a while, "I heard you came here last night, what's the matter?"
Ji Bai glanced at Wang Qixiu and stepped forward, "Of course I have something to say!"
"My lord..." Wang Qixiu called out reluctantly, and came forward with a snack box, but she was embarrassed that Ji Bai was also there.
Gu Chuhan nodded lightly, as a greeting, and asked Ji Bai to have breakfast together and talk to her.
Wang Qixiu watched the two leave hand in hand, and glared annoyedly at Ji Bai who ruined the good deed!
"How long have you already had a confidante!?" Ji Bai looked at Gu Chuhan.
Gu Chuhan smiled and waved his hands, "What kind of confidante, you want to say that Wang Qixiu is Wang Guangyi's daughter!"
"Is Wang Guangyi also corrupt?" Ji Bai asked again.
Gu Chuhan frowned and nodded.
"Then you want to tease her father, she must not know, right? I'll even bring you food!" Ji Bai laughed for some reason.
Gu Chuhan rolled his eyes at him, "Are you two talking about the dirty money? I have already arranged it, and it will not be lost, nor will it be lost! As long as you bring it back to the capital, it will be fine!"
"What method?" Ji Bai couldn't help asking.
"I have a clever plan, I won't tell you!" Gu Chuhan snorted.
Ji Bai frowned angrily, "Don't mess around, it's not just for fun, if it is lost or missing, your life will be lost?"
"Of course! You just have to watch! By the way, you can take the opportunity to catch a few old thieves!" Yin Zi has already made Su Jin call out which ones are ghosts, right?I was carried to Kyoto last night!No one would have thought of it, and no one would have thought of going to Su Jina to steal it.When the time comes, exchange it back and hand it over to the treasury, and that's it!
Ji Bai saw her talking a lot and didn't tell him, feeling a little uncomfortable.He didn't treat him as one of his own!
Gu Chuhan felt that he was too horrified by the world, and one less person who knew would be more safe, so he patted him to reassure him.
There were a lot of things going on in the yamen, before breakfast was finished, two groups of people came to report the matter, and there was also news from the mansion, asking Gu Chuhan to go to the mansion to report the matter in detail.
Gu Chuhan hadn't finished dealing with the affairs of the county government office, so he had to change his clothes, make arrangements for the county government office, and then led people to the mansion.
Tian Yiru, the prefect of Annan, and Gu Chuhan have not visited Nanle County yet.But he has been the magistrate for two years, so it is impossible not to know the customs of Nanle County!Without the government's support, the river god's marriage cannot go on!
Qingquan told her to be careful, "It's the easiest way for Tian Yiru to turn a blind eye, but the possibility of accepting bribes is the greatest! He just took the money for a year, and you took away the matter of the God of the River marrying a wife, and ended it." His way of making money. Since we didn't pay homage to the mountain, he might want to make things difficult for Young Master Ninth!"
"Am I afraid?" Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows.Although the water is clear and there are no fish, but if Tian Yiru dares to touch her head, she will not let him sit firmly in this official position!
Tian Yiru really wanted to make trouble for Gu Chuhan, but she could persuade the court to send troops, and Ji Lan who led the troops was the eldest son of the Ji family!Before today's Holy Majesty, he trusted and valued them the most, and asked Ji Lan to lead the troops here.Support Gu Chuhan!So he didn't dare to mess with Gu Chuhan, at most he would be difficult to win him over.
Gu Chuhan reported in detail about the marriage of the God of the River and the dirty money copied out this time, and when Tian Yiru opened his mouth, he nodded generously and transported the dirty money to the treasury for storage.
It was Master Zhizhou Chang who said that Ji Lan led the troops to garrison and that it would be safer with them, so he didn't give the order.
Gu Chuhan wished that they would move the dirty silver to Fucheng, when those gold and silver ingots would turn into stones, let them cry!
In the end, Tian Yiru didn't bother Gu Chuhan, seeing that she didn't show any signs of native land, he said that this case still needs to be thoroughly investigated, and then the mansion took over the case with full authority.
Gu Chuhan had no objection at all, he just let go of the shopkeeper and stopped meddling, and took people back to Nanle County to collect the grain tax.
On the contrary, Li Erlang and Heihu were very upset, "It's clearly a credit grab! Master Jiu has done everything, and it's finally finished, and they jumped out again!"
"Then let them grab a try! Also look at the meaning of the above!" Gu Chuhan chuckled, she was busy building the canal, and she had no spare time!
When she returned to Nanle County, Zhang's family was having a funeral, but Zhang Hongyu's body was not found, but the funeral had to be done. Zhang Hongyu's mother was crying and wanted to go to the county government to find trouble.
The head of Zhang's family did not dare to let her make trouble.Because the river god married a wife, the Zhang family is also one of the vested interest groups.Although Gu Chuhan didn't talk about moving Zhang's family and Pan's family now, she moved Zhang Hongyu.
Gu Chuhan was not afraid of them making trouble. According to the information she got, most of the brides who were thrown into the Zhang River were raped by them first, especially Zhang Hongyu!Taking the opportunity to throw him into the Zhang River is also an explanation to those dead women!
With this incident, the speed of collecting grain taxes in various places has been significantly accelerated, and they have been paid directly, and the county government granary finally has food in stock.
Gu Chuhan began to prepare for the construction of the canal, and the notice was sent out, and the township officials were nominating everyone to participate.
Many people are unwilling to go out to work, and they are also afraid of this vigorous and powerful county magistrate!
Within two days, the order from the court arrived. Nanle County reduced taxes for two years, allocated 30 taels to build water canals, and ordered Ji Lan to escort the dirty money to Beijing and rush into the treasury. As for the finishing work, the government will take over and hand it over to Annan government.
The three-year taxation is a real good thing for the common people. Only then did the common people believe that Gu Chuhan is a good official who really wants to govern Nanle County and benefit them!
Zhang Nai organized a team to promote the benefits of building canals in the villages every day, "When the canals are built, there will be no droughts and floods in the future! We work harder now, and we will benefit our future generations! And After the canal is built, the land on both sides of the Zhang River will no longer be flooded, and it will become the most fertile and high-quality field! We will be able to produce large tracts of fertile land in Nanle County! Those who are allocated to us and the harvest increases are also ours. Our own! The construction of the canal is not for the county magistrate, but for ourselves! For our children and grandchildren!"
The people who have been exempted from taxes for three years are overjoyed. There is still wages to build the canals, and it is not the busy season for farming, so everyone responds one after another.
Gu Chuhan saw that the recruitment of personnel was in place, and immediately started to act.
The investment of 30 taels of silver sounds like a lot, but it is not easy to build a complete set of diversion canal system in Nanle County.Gu Chuhan's budget far exceeded 30 taels, and he was a little disappointed when he said it. More than 400 million taels of silver were returned to the treasury, but only 30 taels were given to her!Not even a tenth!
The location has been fixed, the people have already started construction, the county government has no major affairs for the time being, there are Wang Xiancheng and Lian Wenli, and Gu Chuhan personally leads people to open the canal, and lives in a thatched shed by the river.
When Yan Junfeng came over, he saw that she was dressed in coarse cloth, with a straw hat tied on her head, and she was lying on a rock with her sleeves rolled up to settle accounts. Her body was splashed with mud, her shoes were also stained with mud, and her black hair face, his subordinates quickly wrote and counted, and suddenly felt a little distressed.If Ran Niang saw him like this, she would feel very distressed!
"Kuro!"
Gu Chuhan looked up, and seeing him, his serious and displeased eyes flashed with surprise, "Brother-in-law!? Why are you here?"
Yan Junfeng came over with a smile, "Your second sister loves you badly. She said that you are not used to being in Nanle County and is dangerous. She urged me to come and see you three times a day! If she wasn't pregnant, she would have followed her!"
"Second sister is pregnant!? So soon!?" Gu Chuhan opened his eyes wide.
Yan Junfeng glared at her, "What are you talking about! If you get married, you will naturally become pregnant! Your second sister is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father. I was driven over to see you a few days before I was happy!"
"I was so happy all of a sudden! By the way, where is the second sister now? Is it in Xiangyang Mansion or in the capital? How is she doing?" Gu Chuhan came up and grabbed him and asked.
"We are all in the capital, and Jiuyun Pavilion has also moved to the capital. The glass raw material business with Prince Qi has been completed, and I have also opened a jade mine there. Although the quality of the jade is not very good, it is definitely profitable! I I came here to arrange property, send you some clothes and money, and then I hurried back! Your second sister’s child has just grown up, and she doesn’t eat or sleep well!” As she spoke, she began to complain, but she didn’t want to go out at all.He doesn't feel at ease leaving his wife alone in the capital!
Gu Chuhan knew that the family must be worried, but she has nothing to do now, but she is short of money, "How much did you send me?"
Seeing her bright eyes, Yan Junfeng had no choice but to say, "Don't think too big! You've heard it all. You have confiscated 400 million taels of silver to control the bad habits and customs of Nanle County, and only 30 taels to repair the canal. The money I brought is just for you. For personal emergency, not much, only 5000 taels! You don’t have enough money to repair the canal, you can apply for a batch of appropriations from the imperial court again! Or mobilize the rich gentry and rich households in Nanle County to donate!”
Gu Chuhan pouted dissatisfiedly, "I have already prepared it, mobilize them to donate money to build the canal, and then name the canal after them! But the money of the gentry and rich households is also earned by others, not by the strong wind! How much! For the entire canal irrigation system, it is a drop in the bucket!"
"There is always something born out of nothing! Solving the wages of those common people will save a big problem!" Yan Junfeng came here to help her, "I brought a few cast iron craftsmen, do you want to use it!?"
Gu Chuhan nodded immediately, "Use it!"
When I followed him back to the county office, I saw how many things he had brought, three carts full, clothes to wear, local products to eat, things from my hometown, and all kinds of useful things.
"Your second sister is worried. Father and grandma are also worried when they hear that you have been released to Nanle County. The clan is very happy that you have been promoted to two levels in a row! These things are picked out by your second sister and can be sent to you. Yes!" Yan Junfeng asked to unpack everything.
Gu Chuhan looked at the things that had been put away, and felt hot in his heart, "I want to go home!"
Yan Junfeng was stunned for a moment, sighed and patted her, "Since you have embarked on an official career, it is impossible for you to be an official in your hometown! This place is not too far from the capital, except that the Yellow River is not easy to pass. When your second sister passes the first three months, the fetal position Stabilize, I..."
Gu Chuhan hurriedly refused, "Don't mind! The second sister is pregnant with her first child, and she has no caring person to take care of her, and let her come all the way to see me!? I will take the opportunity to go home and see them when I have time!"
Yan Junfeng smiled, "Okay! With your political achievements, you will definitely have the opportunity to enter Beijing during the Chinese New Year!"
Gu Chuhan wanted to see the cast iron craftsman he brought.
As soon as they met, they were still old acquaintances, Master Tang happily came up to greet Gu Chuhan, "Master Gu!"
The few people are really happy that Mr. Gu Jiu has become Mr. Gu. Before, they felt that Mr. Gu Jiu who can make a sewing machine must not be a fish in a submerged pool, not a thing in a pond!It really is a dragon and a phoenix among people!
"You guys came at the right time! I just found someone to make tools, but I couldn't get it right! With you, it's really a big help! Hurry up and get me the tricycle first!" Gu Chuhan said happily.
A few people responded quickly, and immediately got busy after the banquet.
Before Yan Junfeng came, he took a map to see the location of Nanle County. It was an important place, and it was an important place for business travel with Beichen Kingdom. He also took the opportunity to buy a large Zhuangzi and occupy a place first.
I have been in Panheng, Nanle County for several days, and watched her break out the tricycle, and wanted to pinch her when she came up, "What a kid! You still keep secrets! There are such good things, why didn't you make them before!?"
Gu Chuhan hurriedly dodged, "I have to pedal! I can't run by myself! How can a donkey cart be so convenient! And the chain is not easy to make! Didn't your mine let you build a small train? It's more convenient to slide down directly Ah! Who still struggles to pedal three wheels!?"
"Unreasonable!" Yan Junfeng glared at her.
Gu Chuhan chuckled, I really didn't think of it before, I don't know what to think, and I think the carriage and mule cart are very convenient and cool!
Yan Junfeng hurried back with a stack of drawings.
After the tricycle was made, it immediately prospered in Nanle County.
Gu Chuhan led people to build a bunch of auxiliary tools, transportation, cranes, etc.Seeing the black and red skin of those people in the hot weather, sweating profusely digging canals, I really want to get some excavators!
There is no excavator, but Gu Chuhan can't wait for the steam engine. Although she can rain, it doesn't work all the time. There are reports from various places that the fields are starting to lack water and drought.She will rain, but she only has one.
After the excavation of the canal was basically stabilized, Gu Chuhan led a few people to build the first steam pump for pumping water.
The hoses are carefully sewn from animal skins, and are only used in curved places, and iron pipes are still used for other straight roads.
The coal and oil were all ready, and the people who surrounded him didn't understand what Gu Chuhan was going to do. Put this on the side of the well, can it really pump water?
"Turn it on!" Gu Chuhan checked everything and ordered.
Over there, Li Erlang and Zhang Nai acted immediately, added fuel, and lit the fire.
The principle of the steam pump is very simple, but the driving force is steam, so there is a process.
The coals are burning brightly, and the steam pump is slowly starting to run, faster and faster, faster and faster.
From time to time the water in the well was pumped up.
Seeing the rushing water gushing out and pouring it directly into the field, the people around shouted in amazement, "This is amazing! This thing burns some coal, and it can pump water from the well to irrigate the field! It's amazing! "
"This is much more powerful than a waterwheel!"
Everyone also responded one after another, admiring.
Zhang Nai told people that it was Gu Chuhan who thought of it and led others to build it, and praised Gu Chuhan as a god.
Gu Chuhan was also relieved when the steam pump pumping water was successfully tested, and then he intensively built a dozen steam pumps and shipped them to various towns, so that Zhang Nai and Li Erlang could lead people to teach them. The problem is that they can't do without Gu Chuhan.
Su Jin came a few times, but she fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that she was tired, she didn't have the heart to wake her up, and only helped to deal with everything that could be dealt with.
Gu Chuhan was addicted to building steam engines, Yan Junfeng pushed a few more people over for her, she collected a few more, and then made the steam engine out.
Although it is not possible to pull stones and wood for gravity transportation, it is not a problem to pull a farm tool to plow and harvest.
The work here was in full swing, which naturally alarmed some people.
Although Da Li didn't need to pay tribute to Beichen Kingdom, the friendship between the two countries was also achieved through a marriage with the princess and a large number of 'dowries'.There are bold businessmen traveling between the two countries, after all, the benefits are considerable.
That day, a bunch of merchants selling cloth came to the county town. Seeing someone riding a tricycle on the street, they asked the waiter who was eating.
Gu Chuhan's prestige and virtuous names have been spread throughout Nanle County, and there are few people who do not praise him.
The waiter in this restaurant is a fan of Gu Chuhan, and he especially likes to tell the legendary deeds of Gu Chuhan to the people who pass by for dinner. When someone asks, he is even more enthusiastic. He tells all the feats Gu Chuhan has done to a few people. He has seen them all and explained them in more detail.
"If you say that our county magistrate is really like a god descending to earth! Not only is he outstandingly talented, but he is also extremely handsome! How many daughters in Nanle County now look forward to marrying such a wishful man? ! Even if you are a servant girl, you are flocking to her!”
A sneer.
"Is there really such a legend? You have to see it!"
(End of this chapter)
Because there was an order in advance, there were 3000 to [-] people to watch the ceremony, and all of them dared not show their grandeur, and the atmosphere was stagnant.
All of them knelt down on the high platform, not daring to look up, their faces were pale and trembling.
However, Gu Chuhan was still walking back and forth, those footsteps seemed to be stepping on their hearts, and he was always frightened, his back was wet with sweat.
"I told them to go and come back quickly. It's been half an hour, and no one has come back! It's really useless! It seems that scholars have to come!" Gu Chuhan said, turning his head to look at the people kneeling on the ground.
Wang Guangyi felt that her eyes were fixed on him, and he heard her footsteps coming, getting closer and closer, his whole body was trembling with fear.
There was a timid official, his eyes were blackened, and he passed out.
Gu Chuhan opened his mouth, "Prince Wang! You were the one who handled the marriage of the God of the River, right?"
When her voice sounded, Wang Guangyi felt his eyes darken, "My lord... my lord... my lord..."
Seeing his frightened bear that was about to pee, Gu Chuhan secretly cursed in his heart.You didn't expect this moment when you took the bribe, did you?But he is an official after all, and she doesn't have the authority to deal with him, so she has to find a way to talk about Zhang Hongyu's matter.She sighed, her voice slowed down, "Xiancheng Wang! Why do you think they haven't come back for so long?"
Wang Guangyi heard that her voice was gentle, and she didn't want his life. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he said with trembling lips, "My lord! I think...it must be...the river god's guests! Let them be guests! Today We may not be able to wait!"
He applauds his quick wit!
But Gu Chuhan didn't intend to let him go, "Witch Yang and Master Yang are the emissaries of the River God, so it's reasonable to be kept by the River God! Why didn't the young master come back this chapter?"
"Zhang...Master Zhang is a talented person, outstanding in learning, and handsome, like an envoy of God! The River God may have left him as an envoy of God! He has become a god! Even if he is not a god, following the God of the River, he is still a half God and half immortal! This is a great thing that can't be done in a few lifetimes!" Once he opened his mind, Wang Guangyi said it more and more smoothly.He knew in his heart that Gu Chuhan was trying to shirk the crime on him, but in order to save his life, he couldn't care less about anything!
"Well..." Gu Chuhan nodded in response, "What you said is true! I just came to Nanle County, and I don't know the customs here, so I'm not as good as you! Hahahahaha! Wang Xiancheng! You are worthy of being the county of Nanle County Cheng! Not bad, not bad!" Smiling, he patted Wang Xiancheng.
Immediately, Wang Xiancheng felt that the shoulder she had patted seemed to be entangled with Yin Qi, and it was icy cold.
Gu Chuhan shook the beads on his wrist, "Everyone, get up! Wang Xiancheng said that the River God is staying with guests today! He also said that Master Zhang became the God of the River God's envoy! It must be a celebration! We can't wait until we wait. ! It's all gone! Go back!"
After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go home in a hurry.
Gu Chuhan stopped again, "Wait! What's the matter! Those who collect food taxes, hurry up!"
Those Lizheng township officials responded in a hurry, and all the people were too scared to refute and responded again and again, and they scattered in a hurry.
Pan Yewei stared at Gu Chuhan who was talking to Ji Lan for a while, then looked at the tumbling water of the Zhang River, and led the people away quickly.
Gu Chuhan asked Wang Guangyi to lead people to tear down the platform, and she led people to search the Immortal Temple, and the ceremony officials who arranged for the river god to marry his wife.
There was Ji Lan stationed with troops, which was so powerful that they immediately searched the Immortal Temple and the house of the ritual officer.
The money collected this time has not had time to be divided up, and in addition to previous years, there are countless gold and silver treasures. After an inventory, there are as many as 400 million taels of silver.
It is astonishing and shocking!To have searched so many people's fat and people's cream! ?
And the deeds of He An have been brought back to the village by all the people, and the whole county was shocked!
But they didn't dare to mention the matter of marrying the God of the River again.
Because the few people who yelled in the early days were all arrested and put in prison, it was said that they sowed speech and incited the people to rebel, which is also a capital offense!
However, many people were happy, both the witch and Master Yang were thrown into the river!From now on, there will be no such thing as the river god marrying a wife!No more fear of being confiscated and donated!Not to mention that the beautiful daughter of the family will be chosen as the daughter-in-law of the river god!
Zhang Nai ran after him for two days, looking at the confiscated gold and silver treasures, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth. They have to hand in donations every year, and whoever refuses to hand in the donation will end badly!These are all people's fat and people's ointment!These corrupt officials and witches have drained the blood of the common people, and they are rich!
With so much gold and silver, Gu Chuhan's eyes are also hot. Holding two big gold ingots, he smiled and squinted his eyes, "Oh hehehe! Money! My aqueduct! So much money! It's a great aqueduct!"
Seeing her like this, it's not that she wants to be a little bit greedy, but she actually called for the repair of the canal, and everyone in Qingquan couldn't help laughing speechlessly.
"My lord! These are all dirty silver! They must be handed over to the treasury!"
Gu Chuhan pointed a knife across the eye, "I investigated and dealt with it! I must be divided! Otherwise, who will repair the canal in Nanle County!?" He said emphatically and snorted.
The six-hundred-mile express letter was sent directly to Kyoto.
As for the Pan family and the beneficiaries behind him, Ji Bai and Ji Lan meant to tell her not to move yet, "The Pan family has officials in the court, and even though they have the support of the Chief Assistant, you are a small county magistrate. Remembering them, fearing that their lives will be lost! So far, it is already a great achievement! Leave the rest to their superiors!"
Gu Chuhan was still waiting for Su Jin. Since being scared away, that guy hasn't come again, no!He should have come here secretly, but he didn't come out to see her!snort!
She was chanting here, and Su Jin came over that night without chanting.
Seeing him, Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows and teased, "Little Chunqing! Come here!"
Su Jinjun's face was dark, but he couldn't help the red ears, and his fingers holding the food box tightened again and again. He took a deep breath and put the food box on the table.
Gu Chuhan washed his hands spontaneously, came to sit down, and saw that there was a Buddha jumping over the wall in the food box, as well as some refreshing side dishes and snacks, and a table was set up in a short while.
"Is it for me to celebrate?" He asked with a smile.
Su Jin looked at her with a dark face, and was about to nod in response when Ji Bai's voice came from outside.
He was still in the county government, "Brother Gu!"
Gu Chuhan was puzzled, "Didn't you say you're leaving?"
Su Jin also stared at her quietly.
"Why do you act like I'm cheating!" Gu Chuhan muttered and was about to get up.
Su Jin pulled her to sit down.
Gu Chuhan glared at him and got up again.
Su Jin pulled her down again, and said in a deep voice, "No!"
The two stared at each other.
Outside, Qingquan has already stepped up to stop Ji Bai in a soft voice, "Second Master Ji! My lord has been too tired for the past few days, and my servant saw her falling asleep on the desk just now! I didn't dare to disturb you! If you have something to do, Second Master Ji, why don't you come tomorrow?" Say it again!"
Ji Bai was taken aback when he heard that, he saw that the lights in the study room were still on, thinking of her falling asleep on the desk tired, "Wake him up and go to bed to sleep! I... will look for him tomorrow!"
Qingquan smiled slightly and sent him out.
Hearing that Ji Bai had left, Su Jin picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her.
Holding the chopsticks, Gu Chuhan stared at him with his chin resting on his shoulders, looking so pretty!Tut and tut, "I don't want to eat anymore!"
Su Jin was scooping up soup for her, listened to her, paused, and put the soup in front of her, "What do you want to eat?"
"Eat you!" Gu Chuhan said with a smile in his eyes, and smacked his lips as he spoke.
Su Jin blushed immediately, "Stop talking nonsense! Eat well!"
Gu Chuhan pursed his lips, "Bu—" picked up the bowl and started to eat.
Seeing her angry and unhappy appearance, Su Jin raised her heart, thinking of being said to be puzzled before, she tightened her hands.But who did Jiu'er learn her nasty talk from?
Looking at her again, Su Jin blushed and said, "I...feed you!"
Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows, stopped and looked at him.
Su Jin took the bowl and chopsticks from her hand, took the mushrooms and fed them to her lips.
Gu Chuhan blinked, stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, touched his blushing face, "It's so hot!"
Su Jin grabbed her hand and pulled it down, frowning blushingly, "Hurry up and eat first!"
Seeing that his handsome face was flushed, his ears were completely red, but his eyes were staring at her feeding, Gu Chuhan sat obediently like a well-behaved cat, and he ate every bite.
Su Jin was feeding her, watching her eat everything she was feeding, her cheeks were bulging, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and joy gradually filled her heart, pouring out from her eyes.
His interest is getting stronger and stronger, if Gu Chuhan doesn't call to stop, he can keep feeding.
"If you eat more, you will be full..."
Su Jin withdrew his hand without hesitation.
Gu Chuhan looked at him, and suddenly leaned close to him, chuckled and asked, "I'm going to take a shower and groom, do you want to help too?"
Su Jin's face flushed instantly, You Qi stared at her angrily, reached out and grabbed her violently, and pressed her into his arms.
"Oh?" Gu Chuhan held his shoulder and looked at him.
Staring at her small face for a long time, Su Jin finally couldn't help it, and didn't want to do anything wrong, so he took her lips and kissed her, with anger, he invaded and swept her with a long tongue, and devoured her angrily.
Little Chunqing counterattacks and turns into an old rascal in seconds! ?
Finally letting go of those things that cannot be done, Su Jin was a little angry and gave up on herself, and kissed her recklessly and revengefully, the deeper the kiss, the more ferocious the kiss, she wished she could swallow her up!
He didn't stop for a long time, Gu Chuhan was blocked by him and couldn't take a breath. From time to time, his face flushed and he couldn't breathe, and he grabbed his skirt and patted him.
Su Jin panted and let her go, her watery peach eyes flashed with a dark fire that devoured the depths.
Seeing him like this, Gu Chuhan gasped for breath and flinched back.It's overdone!Little Chunqing has become an old rascal!
Su Jin noticed and grabbed her tightly, not allowing her to run away.
Seeing that his eyes were getting darker and darker, and he clearly wanted to do it again, Gu Chuhan's eyes turned darkly, and he reached into his clothes with his little hand, sat on him and moved, "It hurts me!"
Su Jin blushed and stood up quickly.
Gu Chuhan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly moved away and stood still.Tiny!Fight with me!hum!
Staring at her, Su Jin's handsome face turned red, red and black again, and glared at her angrily.
Gu Chuhan smiled furiously, "Go to the bed and wait, I'll take a shower first!" He waved his hands and went straight to the clean room.
Su Jin stared at her helplessly as she entered the clean room, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but thinking of the last time he fled in a hurry, he held back.Those little naughty essays that I had read emerged in my mind in a mess, and I was stupefied, and I couldn't help but think that Gu Chuhan also...to him...
Over there, Gu Chuhan finished washing, and when he came out, he was in a daze with a flushed face, "You didn't run away!?"
When Su Jin came back to his senses, she saw that she was wearing three layers of pajamas. Although it was light and casual, it was not as fragrant as he thought, but after taking a hot bath, her fumigated face was delicately white and powdery, and her half-wet black Against the backdrop of her hair, her phoenix eyes were clear and shining, like a water fairy, and she couldn't help but hug her tightly.
Gu Chuhan smiled lightly and hugged his neck, bit his sexy and slender neck lightly, pushed him away, took the book and went to the bed, "Go and wash it!"
Wash...Wash it clean...Come here...Su Jin saw her casually leaning on the bed, instantly discouraged, and lost again.
Seeing his handsome face blackened with anger, and the resentment all over his body condensed into substance, Gu Chuhan raised the corner of his mouth.
Su Jin turned her face away and ignored her, went to find her booklet and account books and took them out, "Where is the warehouse?"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Chuhan hurriedly sat up, "I have taken off my pants, and you want to run again!?"
"You...don't say this anymore!" Su Jin thought that she was with men every day, and maybe she had learned from them, her eyes flickered coldly.
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, the peach blossom eyes that were charming just now had already turned dark, and the air-conditioning began to rise from his body, Gu Chuhan hurriedly raised his hand, and said solemnly, "Okay! Don't say anything!"
Su Jin stared at her for a long time, confirmed what she said, and went out to find the warehouse by herself.
Gu Chuhan came up to hold him back, "That's the money I got out of it, and I still have to repair the canal, so I'll get some of it!"
"I'll take the money for you! You just sell the other properties!" Su Jin looked at her and said.
"No! Zhuangzi, those fields and houses, look big, and there are not many big ones in total! If you want to build this poor and dilapidated place, how can you do it if you don't have money! Besides, those are the money of ordinary people, and I still want to hide the wealth in What about the people! Return the donations collected this year to them!" Gu Chuhan dragged him and refused to let him go.
Su Jin naturally wanted to follow her in everything, but the officialdom couldn't justify it. Li Anzhi delayed the manufacture of warships and chariots because of the interests of the upper class, and transferred her to Nanle County. After all, the selfishness is too much, "Nanle County has been delayed in paying taxes in the past years, and has not collected them all. It is impossible to return them to the people. It is possible to exempt from taxes for a year!"
"Three years!" Gu Chuhan dissatisfied with a dark face.
Seeing her fighting for the common people, Su Jin patted her head, "I'll fight for you."
Unsatisfied, Gu Chuhan followed him to the warehouse.
He watched helplessly as he took away all the gold, silver and jewelry in several boxes with the shadows, turning them all into stones, and the stones turned into gold and silver again, and the shadows followed him away carrying things.
"empty!"
Seeing her bitter resentment, Qingquan couldn't help laughing secretly, coaxing her, "Young Master Ninth, don't be angry! If the imperial court allocates the money, Young Master will definitely send it back to you as soon as possible!"
Gu Chuhan didn't know that these were dirty silver!She wanted to stay but couldn't.Unhappy, he turned and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, she went to practice sword again.
Wang Qixiu was waiting at the side with a snack box, seeing her heroic, unrestrained figure, she admired her even more.Who in the world can have his wisdom to solve the matter of the river god marrying his wife in one fell swoop, and no one dares to mention this bad custom! ?Earlier, an official posted a notice that he was not allowed to marry another wife for the God of the River. The official died of a sudden illness.He eliminated the chief culprits in this way, and no one dared to make trouble anymore!
Ji Bai also rushed over early in the morning to look for her. With so much gold and silver confiscated, it was a big problem to transport it back to central Beijing, and it was even more unsafe in the county government office.Although there is an elder brother who leads troops to station here, but the inner ghost is hard to guard against!Worrying about her safety too!
As a result, as soon as he came in, he saw a woman carrying a food box and watching Gu Chuhan who was practicing sword affectionately. His expression was slightly stiff and he couldn't help frowning.She looks attractive, and there are peach blossoms everywhere she goes!
Gu Chuhan put away his sword after practicing for a while, "I heard you came here last night, what's the matter?"
Ji Bai glanced at Wang Qixiu and stepped forward, "Of course I have something to say!"
"My lord..." Wang Qixiu called out reluctantly, and came forward with a snack box, but she was embarrassed that Ji Bai was also there.
Gu Chuhan nodded lightly, as a greeting, and asked Ji Bai to have breakfast together and talk to her.
Wang Qixiu watched the two leave hand in hand, and glared annoyedly at Ji Bai who ruined the good deed!
"How long have you already had a confidante!?" Ji Bai looked at Gu Chuhan.
Gu Chuhan smiled and waved his hands, "What kind of confidante, you want to say that Wang Qixiu is Wang Guangyi's daughter!"
"Is Wang Guangyi also corrupt?" Ji Bai asked again.
Gu Chuhan frowned and nodded.
"Then you want to tease her father, she must not know, right? I'll even bring you food!" Ji Bai laughed for some reason.
Gu Chuhan rolled his eyes at him, "Are you two talking about the dirty money? I have already arranged it, and it will not be lost, nor will it be lost! As long as you bring it back to the capital, it will be fine!"
"What method?" Ji Bai couldn't help asking.
"I have a clever plan, I won't tell you!" Gu Chuhan snorted.
Ji Bai frowned angrily, "Don't mess around, it's not just for fun, if it is lost or missing, your life will be lost?"
"Of course! You just have to watch! By the way, you can take the opportunity to catch a few old thieves!" Yin Zi has already made Su Jin call out which ones are ghosts, right?I was carried to Kyoto last night!No one would have thought of it, and no one would have thought of going to Su Jina to steal it.When the time comes, exchange it back and hand it over to the treasury, and that's it!
Ji Bai saw her talking a lot and didn't tell him, feeling a little uncomfortable.He didn't treat him as one of his own!
Gu Chuhan felt that he was too horrified by the world, and one less person who knew would be more safe, so he patted him to reassure him.
There were a lot of things going on in the yamen, before breakfast was finished, two groups of people came to report the matter, and there was also news from the mansion, asking Gu Chuhan to go to the mansion to report the matter in detail.
Gu Chuhan hadn't finished dealing with the affairs of the county government office, so he had to change his clothes, make arrangements for the county government office, and then led people to the mansion.
Tian Yiru, the prefect of Annan, and Gu Chuhan have not visited Nanle County yet.But he has been the magistrate for two years, so it is impossible not to know the customs of Nanle County!Without the government's support, the river god's marriage cannot go on!
Qingquan told her to be careful, "It's the easiest way for Tian Yiru to turn a blind eye, but the possibility of accepting bribes is the greatest! He just took the money for a year, and you took away the matter of the God of the River marrying a wife, and ended it." His way of making money. Since we didn't pay homage to the mountain, he might want to make things difficult for Young Master Ninth!"
"Am I afraid?" Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows.Although the water is clear and there are no fish, but if Tian Yiru dares to touch her head, she will not let him sit firmly in this official position!
Tian Yiru really wanted to make trouble for Gu Chuhan, but she could persuade the court to send troops, and Ji Lan who led the troops was the eldest son of the Ji family!Before today's Holy Majesty, he trusted and valued them the most, and asked Ji Lan to lead the troops here.Support Gu Chuhan!So he didn't dare to mess with Gu Chuhan, at most he would be difficult to win him over.
Gu Chuhan reported in detail about the marriage of the God of the River and the dirty money copied out this time, and when Tian Yiru opened his mouth, he nodded generously and transported the dirty money to the treasury for storage.
It was Master Zhizhou Chang who said that Ji Lan led the troops to garrison and that it would be safer with them, so he didn't give the order.
Gu Chuhan wished that they would move the dirty silver to Fucheng, when those gold and silver ingots would turn into stones, let them cry!
In the end, Tian Yiru didn't bother Gu Chuhan, seeing that she didn't show any signs of native land, he said that this case still needs to be thoroughly investigated, and then the mansion took over the case with full authority.
Gu Chuhan had no objection at all, he just let go of the shopkeeper and stopped meddling, and took people back to Nanle County to collect the grain tax.
On the contrary, Li Erlang and Heihu were very upset, "It's clearly a credit grab! Master Jiu has done everything, and it's finally finished, and they jumped out again!"
"Then let them grab a try! Also look at the meaning of the above!" Gu Chuhan chuckled, she was busy building the canal, and she had no spare time!
When she returned to Nanle County, Zhang's family was having a funeral, but Zhang Hongyu's body was not found, but the funeral had to be done. Zhang Hongyu's mother was crying and wanted to go to the county government to find trouble.
The head of Zhang's family did not dare to let her make trouble.Because the river god married a wife, the Zhang family is also one of the vested interest groups.Although Gu Chuhan didn't talk about moving Zhang's family and Pan's family now, she moved Zhang Hongyu.
Gu Chuhan was not afraid of them making trouble. According to the information she got, most of the brides who were thrown into the Zhang River were raped by them first, especially Zhang Hongyu!Taking the opportunity to throw him into the Zhang River is also an explanation to those dead women!
With this incident, the speed of collecting grain taxes in various places has been significantly accelerated, and they have been paid directly, and the county government granary finally has food in stock.
Gu Chuhan began to prepare for the construction of the canal, and the notice was sent out, and the township officials were nominating everyone to participate.
Many people are unwilling to go out to work, and they are also afraid of this vigorous and powerful county magistrate!
Within two days, the order from the court arrived. Nanle County reduced taxes for two years, allocated 30 taels to build water canals, and ordered Ji Lan to escort the dirty money to Beijing and rush into the treasury. As for the finishing work, the government will take over and hand it over to Annan government.
The three-year taxation is a real good thing for the common people. Only then did the common people believe that Gu Chuhan is a good official who really wants to govern Nanle County and benefit them!
Zhang Nai organized a team to promote the benefits of building canals in the villages every day, "When the canals are built, there will be no droughts and floods in the future! We work harder now, and we will benefit our future generations! And After the canal is built, the land on both sides of the Zhang River will no longer be flooded, and it will become the most fertile and high-quality field! We will be able to produce large tracts of fertile land in Nanle County! Those who are allocated to us and the harvest increases are also ours. Our own! The construction of the canal is not for the county magistrate, but for ourselves! For our children and grandchildren!"
The people who have been exempted from taxes for three years are overjoyed. There is still wages to build the canals, and it is not the busy season for farming, so everyone responds one after another.
Gu Chuhan saw that the recruitment of personnel was in place, and immediately started to act.
The investment of 30 taels of silver sounds like a lot, but it is not easy to build a complete set of diversion canal system in Nanle County.Gu Chuhan's budget far exceeded 30 taels, and he was a little disappointed when he said it. More than 400 million taels of silver were returned to the treasury, but only 30 taels were given to her!Not even a tenth!
The location has been fixed, the people have already started construction, the county government has no major affairs for the time being, there are Wang Xiancheng and Lian Wenli, and Gu Chuhan personally leads people to open the canal, and lives in a thatched shed by the river.
When Yan Junfeng came over, he saw that she was dressed in coarse cloth, with a straw hat tied on her head, and she was lying on a rock with her sleeves rolled up to settle accounts. Her body was splashed with mud, her shoes were also stained with mud, and her black hair face, his subordinates quickly wrote and counted, and suddenly felt a little distressed.If Ran Niang saw him like this, she would feel very distressed!
"Kuro!"
Gu Chuhan looked up, and seeing him, his serious and displeased eyes flashed with surprise, "Brother-in-law!? Why are you here?"
Yan Junfeng came over with a smile, "Your second sister loves you badly. She said that you are not used to being in Nanle County and is dangerous. She urged me to come and see you three times a day! If she wasn't pregnant, she would have followed her!"
"Second sister is pregnant!? So soon!?" Gu Chuhan opened his eyes wide.
Yan Junfeng glared at her, "What are you talking about! If you get married, you will naturally become pregnant! Your second sister is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father. I was driven over to see you a few days before I was happy!"
"I was so happy all of a sudden! By the way, where is the second sister now? Is it in Xiangyang Mansion or in the capital? How is she doing?" Gu Chuhan came up and grabbed him and asked.
"We are all in the capital, and Jiuyun Pavilion has also moved to the capital. The glass raw material business with Prince Qi has been completed, and I have also opened a jade mine there. Although the quality of the jade is not very good, it is definitely profitable! I I came here to arrange property, send you some clothes and money, and then I hurried back! Your second sister’s child has just grown up, and she doesn’t eat or sleep well!” As she spoke, she began to complain, but she didn’t want to go out at all.He doesn't feel at ease leaving his wife alone in the capital!
Gu Chuhan knew that the family must be worried, but she has nothing to do now, but she is short of money, "How much did you send me?"
Seeing her bright eyes, Yan Junfeng had no choice but to say, "Don't think too big! You've heard it all. You have confiscated 400 million taels of silver to control the bad habits and customs of Nanle County, and only 30 taels to repair the canal. The money I brought is just for you. For personal emergency, not much, only 5000 taels! You don’t have enough money to repair the canal, you can apply for a batch of appropriations from the imperial court again! Or mobilize the rich gentry and rich households in Nanle County to donate!”
Gu Chuhan pouted dissatisfiedly, "I have already prepared it, mobilize them to donate money to build the canal, and then name the canal after them! But the money of the gentry and rich households is also earned by others, not by the strong wind! How much! For the entire canal irrigation system, it is a drop in the bucket!"
"There is always something born out of nothing! Solving the wages of those common people will save a big problem!" Yan Junfeng came here to help her, "I brought a few cast iron craftsmen, do you want to use it!?"
Gu Chuhan nodded immediately, "Use it!"
When I followed him back to the county office, I saw how many things he had brought, three carts full, clothes to wear, local products to eat, things from my hometown, and all kinds of useful things.
"Your second sister is worried. Father and grandma are also worried when they hear that you have been released to Nanle County. The clan is very happy that you have been promoted to two levels in a row! These things are picked out by your second sister and can be sent to you. Yes!" Yan Junfeng asked to unpack everything.
Gu Chuhan looked at the things that had been put away, and felt hot in his heart, "I want to go home!"
Yan Junfeng was stunned for a moment, sighed and patted her, "Since you have embarked on an official career, it is impossible for you to be an official in your hometown! This place is not too far from the capital, except that the Yellow River is not easy to pass. When your second sister passes the first three months, the fetal position Stabilize, I..."
Gu Chuhan hurriedly refused, "Don't mind! The second sister is pregnant with her first child, and she has no caring person to take care of her, and let her come all the way to see me!? I will take the opportunity to go home and see them when I have time!"
Yan Junfeng smiled, "Okay! With your political achievements, you will definitely have the opportunity to enter Beijing during the Chinese New Year!"
Gu Chuhan wanted to see the cast iron craftsman he brought.
As soon as they met, they were still old acquaintances, Master Tang happily came up to greet Gu Chuhan, "Master Gu!"
The few people are really happy that Mr. Gu Jiu has become Mr. Gu. Before, they felt that Mr. Gu Jiu who can make a sewing machine must not be a fish in a submerged pool, not a thing in a pond!It really is a dragon and a phoenix among people!
"You guys came at the right time! I just found someone to make tools, but I couldn't get it right! With you, it's really a big help! Hurry up and get me the tricycle first!" Gu Chuhan said happily.
A few people responded quickly, and immediately got busy after the banquet.
Before Yan Junfeng came, he took a map to see the location of Nanle County. It was an important place, and it was an important place for business travel with Beichen Kingdom. He also took the opportunity to buy a large Zhuangzi and occupy a place first.
I have been in Panheng, Nanle County for several days, and watched her break out the tricycle, and wanted to pinch her when she came up, "What a kid! You still keep secrets! There are such good things, why didn't you make them before!?"
Gu Chuhan hurriedly dodged, "I have to pedal! I can't run by myself! How can a donkey cart be so convenient! And the chain is not easy to make! Didn't your mine let you build a small train? It's more convenient to slide down directly Ah! Who still struggles to pedal three wheels!?"
"Unreasonable!" Yan Junfeng glared at her.
Gu Chuhan chuckled, I really didn't think of it before, I don't know what to think, and I think the carriage and mule cart are very convenient and cool!
Yan Junfeng hurried back with a stack of drawings.
After the tricycle was made, it immediately prospered in Nanle County.
Gu Chuhan led people to build a bunch of auxiliary tools, transportation, cranes, etc.Seeing the black and red skin of those people in the hot weather, sweating profusely digging canals, I really want to get some excavators!
There is no excavator, but Gu Chuhan can't wait for the steam engine. Although she can rain, it doesn't work all the time. There are reports from various places that the fields are starting to lack water and drought.She will rain, but she only has one.
After the excavation of the canal was basically stabilized, Gu Chuhan led a few people to build the first steam pump for pumping water.
The hoses are carefully sewn from animal skins, and are only used in curved places, and iron pipes are still used for other straight roads.
The coal and oil were all ready, and the people who surrounded him didn't understand what Gu Chuhan was going to do. Put this on the side of the well, can it really pump water?
"Turn it on!" Gu Chuhan checked everything and ordered.
Over there, Li Erlang and Zhang Nai acted immediately, added fuel, and lit the fire.
The principle of the steam pump is very simple, but the driving force is steam, so there is a process.
The coals are burning brightly, and the steam pump is slowly starting to run, faster and faster, faster and faster.
From time to time the water in the well was pumped up.
Seeing the rushing water gushing out and pouring it directly into the field, the people around shouted in amazement, "This is amazing! This thing burns some coal, and it can pump water from the well to irrigate the field! It's amazing! "
"This is much more powerful than a waterwheel!"
Everyone also responded one after another, admiring.
Zhang Nai told people that it was Gu Chuhan who thought of it and led others to build it, and praised Gu Chuhan as a god.
Gu Chuhan was also relieved when the steam pump pumping water was successfully tested, and then he intensively built a dozen steam pumps and shipped them to various towns, so that Zhang Nai and Li Erlang could lead people to teach them. The problem is that they can't do without Gu Chuhan.
Su Jin came a few times, but she fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that she was tired, she didn't have the heart to wake her up, and only helped to deal with everything that could be dealt with.
Gu Chuhan was addicted to building steam engines, Yan Junfeng pushed a few more people over for her, she collected a few more, and then made the steam engine out.
Although it is not possible to pull stones and wood for gravity transportation, it is not a problem to pull a farm tool to plow and harvest.
The work here was in full swing, which naturally alarmed some people.
Although Da Li didn't need to pay tribute to Beichen Kingdom, the friendship between the two countries was also achieved through a marriage with the princess and a large number of 'dowries'.There are bold businessmen traveling between the two countries, after all, the benefits are considerable.
That day, a bunch of merchants selling cloth came to the county town. Seeing someone riding a tricycle on the street, they asked the waiter who was eating.
Gu Chuhan's prestige and virtuous names have been spread throughout Nanle County, and there are few people who do not praise him.
The waiter in this restaurant is a fan of Gu Chuhan, and he especially likes to tell the legendary deeds of Gu Chuhan to the people who pass by for dinner. When someone asks, he is even more enthusiastic. He tells all the feats Gu Chuhan has done to a few people. He has seen them all and explained them in more detail.
"If you say that our county magistrate is really like a god descending to earth! Not only is he outstandingly talented, but he is also extremely handsome! How many daughters in Nanle County now look forward to marrying such a wishful man? ! Even if you are a servant girl, you are flocking to her!”
A sneer.
"Is there really such a legend? You have to see it!"
