Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Although the land can only be rented, the houses on it have to be built by oneself, and the rent does not need to be turned over to the state treasury. It belongs to the yamen itself. To put it bluntly, even the Ministry of Household Affairs is jealous.

But merchants have to pay taxes, which is inevitable. Except for the Yamen keeping a part of the taxes, the rest has to be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs and put into the national treasury.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the household department made a profit in the end, but in fact the tax is nothing compared to the real profit.

Although the scenic spots will rent out some properties, most of them are in their own hands, which is also their main way to make profits in the future.

For example, the entire food street is theirs.

Wen Yao also brought Zhang Carpenter and Jiao Jian from Yunwu Town. They have been very busy in Linjing County recently, and Jianqiao decoration flags are hanging everywhere.

Now, Carpenter Zhang and Jiao Jian's decoration shop has grown big, and they have opened branches in several places. When Wen Yao said there was an opportunity here, the two of them directly handed over the affairs of other places to the managers they trusted, and then He brought his best craftsmen to Linjing County.

Capital, this is a place they have never thought about in their whole life. Now that they have the opportunity to develop here, no one will not seize this opportunity. Although they have not yet entered the capital, arriving in Linjing County is equivalent to half a step forward. Beijing.

Nowadays, the Jiao family is completely different from before. The two brothers are in business and the other is in business. It can be said that life is getting better and better. The houses in the Jiao family village have also been renovated and rebuilt, and servants and wives have been hired. In short, everyone is getting better.

In late November, Wen Yao received a letter from Wen Xiu Yi. The third princess had given birth to a daughter. Wen Xiu Yi named her Wen Jing, hoping that she would be as quiet and elegant as her mother.

Wen Yao couldn't help but complain to Li Yi: "Does my father think I'm noisy?"

Li Yi could only smile helplessly.

Then Wen Yao began to search everywhere for gifts for his little sister. Da Tou and Guan Shengrui were even more excited and wanted to go home to see their sister. He didn't want to worry about the seventh prince or the heroine. He just wanted to go home to see his sister.

Fortunately, Wen Xiuyi said in the letter that when the third princess is out of confinement, he will come to the capital together after seeing the late rice harvest, report on the work of the year, and also let the third princess return to her parents' home to visit.

This made Datou and Guan Shengrui temporarily stop thinking about returning to Yunwu Town.

The Queen Mother was very happy to know that the third princess had given birth to a daughter. She prepared many rewards and baby things, and waited for the return of the third princess and the child.

At the end of December, the couple returned to the capital with their newborn daughter. When they arrived in Linjing County, they almost didn't dare to recognize her.

"Our ship really went to the right place?" Wen Xiuyi looked at the completely changed Linjing County Pier and couldn't believe his eyes. How long had it been since he came here? One year? Why did the dock in Linjing County become like this?

It's very orderly, and even the parking of the boats is meticulous. Standing at the dock, you can still see someone building a boat in the distance, but the boat looks different from the boat they are on. It is large but flat, and there are no houses or attics on it. , like a huge wooden board floating directly on the river.

And the way they came just now, it seemed that the mountains on both sides of the river were crowded with people, and they didn't know what they were busy with.

Why do so many people in Linjing County start going up the mountain?

When the ship entered the dock and stopped, Wen Xiuyi saw a large banner hanging on the most conspicuous place of the dock: Linjing County Scenic Area welcomes you.

Wen Xiuyi:? ? ? ? ?

Did he put it back on? It can't be done. My wife and new baby girl are still nearby.

"Dad, Daddy."

At this moment, Wen Xiuyi heard the shouting, and when he lowered his head, he saw the girl on the pier jumping up and down and waving to them.

Wen Xiuyi rubbed his eyes. He had a good daughter. Next to her was that brat Li Yi, who was protecting her from jumping into the river. Next to her were brothers Da Tou and Guan Sheng Rui, and a guy who was smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth. Eye-catching old Chen.

After seeing them clearly, Wen Xiuyi was sure that he had not put it back on. But what was this modern welcome message about? Could it be that that stinky girl took advantage of her absence to do something earth-shattering?

After getting off the boat, Wen Xiuyi didn't care about anything else. He pulled Wen Yao aside and pointed at the banner not far away and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Wen Yao was anxious to see her sister. When he pulled her away like this, she said hurriedly: "Ask Uncle Chen yourself. I want to see my sister."

After saying that, he threw away Wen Xiuyi's hand and ran away.

At this time, the third princess was surrounded by people, and the wet nurse was standing next to the third princess holding the little person.

Wen Xiuyi exclaimed, Wen Yao didn't even look back, he simply went to find Magistrate Chen.

As soon as County Magistrate Chen saw him, he wanted to rush up and hug him, cry bitterly, and tell him how difficult this time was. Wen Xiuyi knew him too well, so he stopped in time and asked him what was going on.

County Magistrate Chen adjusted his expression, and then slowly explained to him the current situation in Linjing County.

Wen Yao pushed aside her brothers and came closer to her little sister. She saw her looking around curiously with her big eyes open, and then quickly moved closer to let her see him more clearly.

Others didn't know it, but she knew it. The baby was only a month old, and the range of sight his eyes could see was limited, so she had to get closer to let her sister see her clearly, and then get closer to her in the future.

"Jing'er, I'm sister." Wen Yao couldn't help teasing the little girl. As soon as she stretched out her finger, she caught it in her hand, and then she grabbed it and tried to stuff it into her mouth.

Wen Yao quickly retracted her hand, and asked Mingyue to quickly bring a handkerchief to wipe Wen Jing's little hands clean, while muttering: "You can't eat randomly, your hands are dirty, and you can't stuff your little hands into your mouth."

That soft-spoken look stunned both Datou and Guan Shengrui next to him.

"Sister, have you seen enough? It's my turn." Datou was extremely anxious. At this time, all his sophistication and stability disappeared, and he wished he could replace Wen Yao and wipe his little sister's hands.

The third princess saw them pushing and blocking each other, fighting and making trouble. The little girl in the nurse's arms did not cry, but looked at her brothers and sisters with big curious eyes. The third princess's heart felt weak.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we go home. I'll let you guys watch it to your heart's content."

Wen Xiuyi and County Magistrate Chen haven't finished speaking yet. The main reason is that Wen Xiuyi is stunned. This stinky girl is so good.

They hadn't finished talking, but they couldn't stay at the dock forever, so Magistrate Chen asked them to go to his house to rest first. After all, Wen Xiu was not tired after sitting on the boat for so long, and so were the third princess and the little girl.

Wen Xiuyi didn't care. As soon as he heard about his wife and little girl, he immediately urged County Magistrate Chen to leave quickly.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Chen had already prepared. Dozens of carriages were waiting at the dock and went directly back to the county government house.
