Chapter 153 Tacit Understanding and Consensus

Mrs. Li laughed when she heard this, "Fu Niu is only over a year old, why are so many people thinking about saving a dowry for her? Mrs. Cui also wanted to give Fu Niu a farm as a dowry before, but I didn't ask for it."

Mr. Ye, however, rarely had a strong attitude, "Auntie, I must give this bonus to Fu Niu. You know that I am leading troops to fight against the barbarians, licking blood with my sword, and I may not be able to come back one day. It is useless for me to hold this bonus. , I am happy to leave it to Fu Niu.”

“Bah, bah, bah! The bad spirit doesn’t work, the good spirit does, the bad spirit doesn’t work, the good spirit!”

Mrs. Li quickly turned around and vomited a few times, and glared at Mr. Ye angrily, "Don't say such depressing words, be careful God takes it seriously. We Fu Niu are the most blessed. Hug her more quickly, she will be safe and sound." , prosperous and wealthy till old age.”

Mr. Ye couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I will listen to my aunt. I have a mansion in Xindu, but I only live in it. It is too deserted. When my aunt builds a house, please bring me an extra room. I will Come and stay here often.”

"Okay, okay, that's how it should be. It's fun when the whole family lives together." Mrs. Li happily agreed, and then told her third son, "Don't talk nonsense when you go out."

“I know, don’t worry, mother.” Li Laosan quickly responded.

There was no talk all night, and he got up early the next day. Mr. Ye left fifty soldiers to help the villagers clear up the barren hills, and then he was going to Xindu, to deliver errands, and to see Mr. Wen and Li Laosi.

As a result, Mr. Wen and the others came back before he could leave.

The villagers threw away their work and gathered around. When they saw Mr. Wen, the village chief, Li Laosi, Li Laoer and others, everyone felt relieved.

The village chief didn’t know what good thing had happened to him, and his face glowed with excitement.

He gathered the villagers and sat together, drank two large bowls of warm water in one go, and then said.

"Don't worry, everyone. The result of this complaint to the city is great. We actually met the emperor! The emperor was very reasonable. Not only did he dismiss the county magistrate, he also rewarded us with two thousand kilograms of grain. Moreover, the emperor said , the Broken Gold Beach is ours to share, no one can steal it!”

“Seriously, seriously?”

“Your Majesty is such a good man!”

“Uncle village chief, what does the emperor look like? The storyteller said that the emperor is nine feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, and eyes brighter than gems. Is this true?”

The whole village, old and young, was extremely excited. At this moment, no one cared about the unlucky county magistrate. They were all envious of the village chief for meeting the emperor. He had known that they would follow him to the new capital.

Li Lao Si and Li Lao Er were both surrounded, especially Li Lao Si. Two naughty boys, Jia An Jiaxi and An Jiaxi, were also **** on their arms, jumping around like anxious monkeys.

Mrs. Li was also curious and asked her eldest grandson Jiaren to ask questions.

Jiaren was extremely excited when he thought about yesterday, so he opened his mouth and said.

"Grandma, the teacher is simply too powerful. He can quarrel with all the scholars and make all the high officials in the court speechless. The emperor made the teacher the censor in court, and he will be the official who specializes in complaining in the future. Who is not good? Teacher I can tell it to the emperor!"

“Oh, Mr. Wen is so awesome!” The old lady, Tao Hongying, and Zhao Yuru were all shocked when they heard this. They were more happy for Jiaren. They really met a good teacher.

Mrs. Cui was listening, but her mood was complicated.

Senior brother does not like fighting and has always been indifferent to fame and fortune. Otherwise, he would not be willing to study in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years.

Now senior brother takes the initiative to jump into Vanity Fair and jump into the whirlpool of court battles. It cannot be said that it is all because of her, but it is definitely inseparable from her.

On the other side, outside the crowd, Mr. Ye embraced the good news and sat with Mr. Wen.

The two of them had almost never crossed paths before, but because of Qingshui Village, because of the Li family, and because of this group of people who also saved them from danger, they had the opportunity to sit together like this.

Mr. Ye took a wooden stick and pulled out the sweet potatoes from the fire for Jiayin. Then he looked at Mr. Wen and said, "Mr. Wen, if you completely start the fight between the court and the central government this time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Mr. Wen nodded, "I understand what Mr. Hou is worried about. I won't come here often in the future. Firstly, I want to avoid suspicion, and secondly, I don't want to cause trouble to the village."

Mr. Ye shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I made an agreement with Aunt Li last night. I will take most of the money for building the hot spring village. I will tell the outside world that this is my property, which will scare Xiaoxiao. In fact, this place belongs to the Li family and the village." Mr. Wen was also surprised. He did not expect that Mr. Ye, a prince, could do so much for the Li family and the village, but he was also happy for the village and the Li family.

"This is best. The Marquis' reputation is not something that ordinary people would dare to offend."

Mr. Ye waved his hand, "I just want to wrong you. I'm afraid someone will say that I picked the peaches when I planted trees."

Mr. Wen laughed when he heard this, "If I were afraid of what outsiders would say, I wouldn't have gone to Beijing yesterday."

With a few words, the two of them have reached a tacit understanding and consensus.

From now on, one is in the light and the other is in the dark, one is a sword and the other is a mouthpiece, and we work together to protect Broken Gold Beach and these kind and strong farmers.

Hearing the good news, I felt warm and grateful in my heart. I took some roasted sweet potatoes and gave them to eat and to break off a section as a thank you gift.

With these two protectors, she will no longer be afraid of being bullied in the village, and she can also take small actions with peace of mind.

By the time everyone had satisfied their curiosity, it was already an hour later. The village chief, Li Laoer and others said that their mouths were dry and Mr. Ye had already taken them away.

Mrs. Cui also has to go back to Xindu. After all, her dowry property still needs to be sorted out. She cannot leave it completely to her adopted brother and ignore it.

Mr. Wen stayed for one more day and only sent Mrs. Cui to the intersection.

In the afternoon, Mr. Zhou came again.

His eyes were all red, and it was obvious that he didn't sleep last night because of breaking the golden beach.

The entire beach of broken gold is completely presented on a large piece of paper under his pen.

From the pool under the waterfall to the flowing route of the waterway, where small courtyards are built, where simple wooden houses are built, where pavilions are built, and where corridors are built.

Even in the villages outside the valley, each family’s yard is clearly drawn, including where to plant trees and where to plant flowers.

Everyone stood in front of the scroll, holding their breath and not daring to speak for a long time.

Will this desolate gravel beach really turn into such a beautiful wonderland in a month?

In the end, the village chief shouted, "It's worth it. This one thousand taels is so worth it!"

Everyone clapped vigorously and expressed their gratitude loudly and excitedly.

“Thank you, Mr. Zhou, it’s so beautiful!”

“Are we going to live in a fairyland from now on? Wow, it’s great!”

“It’s really like a dream.”

Mr. Zhou was a little embarrassed to be praised. He coughed twice and said, "I asked the craftsman yesterday to carefully calculate the materials. I am afraid it will be around one thousand two hundred taels. This is the lowest. It cannot be simplified any more."

Everyone seemed to have been poured cold water on them, and they all woke up immediately.

Every family went through their money bags last night. Even if they robbed the bandits in the mountains and forests, the money they could come up with was only more than 200 taels.

Now, the silver is only a fraction.
