Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 106: County Magistrate Assists

Li Shoucai's face had turned ashen, and veins on his arms were bulging from clenching his fists too tightly.

Qian Guangjin lowered his voice and comforted:

"Brother Shoucai, those two are just crazy. Why are you angry with them? Your daughter is staying well in your home. How can they snatch her away?"

Li Shoucai took several deep breaths before he finally calmed down.

"Brother Qian, you are right. I won't argue with those two old fools. Our Lanxiang is such a good girl. I will definitely find a good family to marry her off next year!"

Uh, this seems a bit difficult.

Unless you look far away, very far away. Who in this area doesn't know that your daughter has a reputation of being unlucky for her husband?

Qian Guangjin could only mutter this in his heart.

He reached out and patted Li Shoucai on the shoulder.

"Brother, please be calm and don't be too anxious. If you meet the wrong person, it will ruin Lanxiang's life."

Li Shoucai also knew that what he said just now was a bit impulsive, so he had to be vague about it.

After the three of them finished discussing, they took Liu Lao Han's donkey cart to the city without even having lunch, just for one thing - to change the names of the three villages.

To their surprise, County Magistrate Zou was very interested in the matter and even called the three of them to his study to discuss it in detail.

The three of them sat uncomfortably on the stools, leaving only a small part of their buttocks on the stools, sitting upright and looking straight ahead.

After the maids served the tea and left, Magistrate Zou smiled and said:

"Don't be embarrassed, my fellow village heads. Since I am the parent official of Shancang County, we are a family. Just treat it as your own home and chat about family matters."

Li Shoucai and the other two quickly responded with a smile.

Zou Shiye stopped being polite and got straight to the point:

"Could you please tell me how to do this 'tour' specifically?"

After the three of them looked at each other, it was Li Shoucai who spoke:

"Sir, it's like this. Our three villages each have their own characteristics. The villages are full of pear trees, apricot trees, and peach trees. The scenery is extremely beautiful every spring. So I thought of giving the villages elegant names, maybe it will attract many people to come and enjoy the scenery."

Zou Shiye was a little surprised, so he continued to ask:

"It's a good idea, but how do you make money by having people come to your place to enjoy the sights, other than increasing popularity?"

Qian Guangjin was the best at this, so he immediately replied:

"Sir, it is like this. Our initial plan is to open the village to everyone for free in the first year. From the second year onwards, except for people from Shancang County, everyone who comes to enjoy the village will have to pay money to enter. The money earned will be divided equally among the villagers."

interesting.

Zou Shiye was skimming the tea leaves off the lid while thinking.

The reason why he was so concerned was that he was thinking about whether he could add to his political achievements.

The matter of the Taoist temple has been settled some time ago. The remnants of the previous dynasty set up an "Illuminati Society" and used the Taoist temple as a pretext to uphold orthodoxy, but they actually did things that misled the world and deceived the people.

Their methods are really dirty and they are overestimating their own abilities!

The matter was handled extremely secretly and safely, and the other party was wiped out in one fell swoop without them even noticing, thus eliminating a major disaster without even a trace.

Magistrate Zou has received a lot of credit in this matter. If he can make some achievements in the people's livelihood issues of their Shancang County, it is not impossible for him to jump two levels next year.

Even if this matter can only be a beginning next year, it would be good for Shangfeng to let him stay here for another two or three years. It is much better than going to a completely unfamiliar place and starting from scratch.

Thinking of this, Zou Shiye's attitude became even more enthusiastic.

"These feelings alone are not enough, do you have any other ideas?"

The three of them looked at each other. These were already good enough for them and they really had no other ideas for the moment.

Li Shoucai seemed to be hesitant to talk. Xiaoxi did mention the girl to him, but nothing had been decided yet, so he didn't know if it was appropriate to tell the county magistrate about it.

How could Zou Shiye miss the expressions on several people's faces? He immediately noticed that something was wrong with Li Shoucai.

"Captain Li, if you have something to say, just say it. We are just having a simple chat. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Li Shoucai finally decided to speak up. This opportunity was very rare. If he could convince the county magistrate, he might get his support and help.

"Well, I just had a brief chat with a very smart girl in the village. She said that we could build a fruit workshop in the village to make full use of the fruits of the three villages. Once more people come to visit us, some of the unique foods in the village will be easier to sell."

"Can you tell me what kind of food it is? If you can really make something of it, the income of your three villages will surely be considerable in the future!"

Li Shoucai immediately replied:

"No concrete conclusion has been reached yet, so I am a little hesitant to speak out."

Although he felt a little regretful, Zou Shiye also knew that these things could not be rushed.

He suddenly remembered something and asked:

"The girl you're talking about isn't called Xiao...Xiaoxi, is she?"

Li Shoucai was very surprised. How could the county magistrate know about Xiaoxi? Could it be that she was so powerful that she had already established contact with the county magistrate?

But it didn't seem so incredible. After all, the girl already knew two god-like figures.

He nodded repeatedly,

"Yes, yes, that's right. She's called Xiaoxi, Zhou Xiaoxi. She's from our Dali Village."

The last time Zou Shiye saw the girl, he was deeply impressed.

It seemed that her grandmother was with her at the time. Although the girl didn't say much, her grandmother looked at her frequently and trusted her very much. Therefore, I still remember it clearly.

When the imperial court awards the title, it is very likely that they, the grandparents and grandchildren, will receive a share.

At that time, Zou Shiye told the truth without hiding anything. In detail, at least half of his achievements were attributed to the grandfather and grandson.

It seems that I have to help out this time both publicly and privately.

So, Zou Shiye happily changed the names of the three villages.

He also promised to wait for the three village heads to discuss the specific rules and write a copy for him. If he thought it was feasible, the county government would pay for workers to help repair the village roads.

The three of them were overjoyed; this was something they had never expected!

……

The three of them gained a lot in the city, especially Li Shoucai. The smile on his face never faded on the way home.

However, what he didn't know was that their Dali Village, oh no, now called Xiangxue Village, was in a fierce conflict with the people brought by the Sun family from Taohua Village.

It's nothing more than that when the old man and his wife failed in their first plan, they came up with another one.

Anyway, the old couple has nothing to lose. Their son has been gone for so many years, and they have had enough of life.

The two of them only had one obsession left, which was to find a wife for their deceased son.

Since Li Shoucai disagrees, they might as well go all out and completely destroy Li Lanxiang's reputation so that she can no longer live in peace in the village!
