Qian Zhong's arrival made Qiongzhou officials and people raised their hearts, and everyone was watching his actions.

The first thing Qian Zhong did when he went to Qiongzhou was to call all the Lizheng officials, issue a tax exemption notice to the imperial court, and at the same time, he took the yamen to visit the village. The decision of the year, if someone taxed them within three years, they can go to the yamen to file a declaration.

  The imperial court is exempted from tax, which is the tax on people and fields. As far as the treasury is concerned, Qiongzhou, which has never paid all taxes, is inevitably the same, but for the people of Qiongzhou, this is a big thing.

  Everywhere Qian Zhong walked, the people knelt on the ground when he left, thanking Qian Zhong and the emperor.

   However, there are still many problems in Qiongzhou. If nothing else, spring ploughing is imminent, but the people of Qiongzhou have not yet received their grain, farm implements, and cattle.

  When Tan Qian was there, he never cared about these things, but when Qian Zhong was the county magistrate in Guo County, Yangzhou, he was in charge of this.

   Looking at the things in the county government treasury again, Qian Zhong's head hurts, he is really poor.

   was scrapped by Tan Qian in the past, but Tan Qian’s downfall found a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but those things were packed and brought back to Guangzhou by the patrolling adults, and they were called back to the national treasury.

   As the people of Qiongzhou who have been oppressed for nine years, no one wants to return the money to the people.

  The people obviously did not have such extravagant expectations.

   But Qian Zhong could not be seen as the embarrassment of the people.

  The imperial court will allocate some grain seeds or grain seeds every year, so that the county magistrate can buy grain seeds and distribute them to the people.

   But the people of Qiongzhou are used to saving their own seeds for sowing.

  The advantage of keeping the seeds by yourself is that the seeds do not cost money, and the disadvantage is that someone can produce three stones per acre, and he may only produce one and a half stones.

   So even if the government treasury had no money, Qian Zhong had to find a way to get some seeds and farm tools.

   So the first private thing Qian Zhong did in Qiongzhou was to sell the precious flowers, trees and various precious furnishings in the county magistrate's mansion.

  The patrol searched the house, but the rockery in the garden, the flowing water, and the flowers and trees in the flowerbed could not be removed.

   In addition, there are some valuable but not rare large vases. Although they are valuable, they are not enough to make the patroller's heart move. They are also fortunately left.

  Qian Zhong also saw a dressing table in the main house in the backyard. It was made of mahogany, and the five-layer treasure box on it was worth at least one hundred taels of silver.

  There are also cabinets, boxes and other objects in various houses, and these bulky things have been left behind.

Naturally, their value cannot be compared with the stolen gold, silver and jewelry, but these items range from 10 taels to as many as 100 taels, and they all accumulate nearly 2,000 income, and they don’t use that much to buy grain and farm implements. money.

  Qian Zhong generously wanted to sell it, but who would dare to buy it?

  People haven't figured out Qian Zhong's personality and behavior, and they thought he was asking for money in disguise from everyone. This hurt the squires and businessmen of Qiongzhou.

  Qian Zhong was also very sad. He knew that he had been misunderstood, but he couldn't say some things clearly. Just because he was in a dilemma, his elder brother brought a young man in.

   "This is Mr. Zhang. He said there is a way to help you sell those things in the courtyard." Uncle Qian threw Zhang Yiyan to Qian Zhong, turned around and left.

  Qian Zhong then put his eyes on Zhang Yiyan and asked with a frown, "Who is Mr. Zhang?"

   Zhang Yiyan bent over and said humbly: "I dare not be a respectful title of an adult, a small one is just a small sinner in exile."

   After that, he showed Qian Zhong his household registration.

  Qian Zhong's brows tightened, staring at Zhang Yiyan for a while, and said quietly, "Are the sinners living better now than ordinary people?"

"The villain is just in the light of Gu Gongzi. The adults have never been to the exile, otherwise you should know that the situation there is worse than the outside," Zhang Yiyan lowered his head and said: "If Tan Qian increases the tax on the commoners by 20%, then The tax will be increased by 50% for the sinners, and the rest of the donations will be countless, so Tan Qian is interrogated, and the sinners in the exile land are celebrating."

  Qian Zhong pressed the household registration and asked, "You said that there is a way to help me sell the things in the yard?"

"Yes," Zhang Yiyan said humbly: "Actually, there are very few squires who can afford these things in Qiongzhou. The best thing for adults to sell is to the merchants on the wharf. They will ship the goods to Guangzhou, where more people buy. ."

   "But the price is definitely not that high. After all, they need to make another profit when they change hands."

  Qian Zhong nodded, "It's okay to be cheaper, the main thing is to sell it. Do you have a recommender?"

   "Borai is the largest business in Qiongzhou, so adults may be able to ask their opinions."

  Qian Zhong lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea: "You came to me, shouldn't it be just for an offer?"

   Zhang Yiyan raised his robe and knelt down, "Sir, the villain has something to ask the lord."

   He raised his head and looked at Qian Zhongdao with bright eyes: "Your Excellency has traveled all over Qiongzhou's large and small villages, and even several large tribes in the mountains have visited. The little Lord Qiu also went to the exile and took a look."

   He said with red eyes: "Maybe our ancestors deserved what they deserved, but at least our younger generation is innocent. I just hope that the newly born children will not be drowned because they are girls or there is not much food at home."

   If it was another official, he might reprimand him for what he deserved, saying something innocuous such as "Why did your ancestors sin if you don't want your descendants to live such a hard life?"

   But Qian Zhong sighed and nodded in agreement.

   Zhang Yiyan was excited and tried to maintain a steady retreat. When he looked up again, his eyes were as bright as stars.

  Gu Jingyun said that it would depend on whether he could get the approval of the new county magistrate whether he could let the business of Sin Village reach Minglu.

   He said the new magistrate is a compassionate person.

   How powerful a county magistrate is, just look at Tan Qian.

   As long as Qian Zhong agrees, he can do business with major companies in an open and honest way, and their fabrics can be shipped out of the sin village in an open and honest way.

   Zhang Yiyan was very excited, Gu Jingyun was right, Qian Zhong was really good at talking.

  The very talkative Qian Zhongzheng frowned suspiciously, wondering if the person his benefactor asked him to protect was related to Zhang Yiyan.

   Gu Jingyun, who fooled Zhang Yiyan to find Qian Zhong, was in short clothes and followed Li Baolu with a wooden barrel.

  Li Baolu picked up a sea crab that was struggling on the beach, and scanned it back and forth twice with wolf-like eyes, and then threw it into the sea, regretting: "It's too thin."

   Gu Jingyun said lazily: "It's spring, how fat do you expect it to be?"

   "Can we have a meal of lobster and sea crab before we go?"

   "Yes," Gu Jingyun affirmed: "We only set off in June." At that time, seafood was plump.

  Li Baolu drooled silently, and resolutely continued to walk down. She didn't want lobsters and sea crabs, but she could look for sea fish, maybe she could find big and fresh ones.

  Gu Jingyun saw her going to pick up sand and rocks, so he sat cross-legged on the beach and squinted at the blue sky and the sea that was bluer than the sky. The warm sun shone on people, making people drowsy.

  Gu Jingyun closed his eyes slightly, and when he was about to fall asleep comfortably, he smelled a stench on the tip of his nose. He couldn't help opening his eyes, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Sledgehammer with a website in front of him.

Zhang Dachui hesitated for a while, but still handed the net forward and said, "The number of fish rushing up in the sea is limited now, if you want to eat good fish, you can go to the open sea. Yes, take it back and eat it."

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth was about to refuse. Li Baolu, who was already lying under the rock, jumped up from the bottom, ran over to grab the net that took Zhang Sledgehammer, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, our family all want to eat fish. "

  Zhang Dazhui breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face was also full of three points. He smiled and said: "If you like it, I will ask my eldest sister to send you one every day."

  Li Baolu pouted and shook her head, "That's not necessary, it's annoying to eat fish every day. When we want to eat but we don't have it, we must ask Uncle for it. Then Uncle don't bother us."

   "It's not annoying, it's not annoying," Zhang Dazhui laughed boldly: "As long as you speak, other uncles don't have enough fish."

  Li Baolu poured the fish in the net into the wooden bucket, Zhang Dachui reluctantly waved his hand: "I've been greedy for fish for the past two days, if uncle hits a good fish, remember to save one for me."

   Zhang Dachui happily agreed, all the hesitation he had previously dissipated, and he left happily.

  Gu Jingyun just sat on the beach and watched. Seeing Li Baolu happily lighting the fish in the wooden bucket, he shook his head and laughed, "You are kind."

   "It's because you are too wary," Li Baolu gave him a strange look, "It's obvious that you accepted that it's good for both parties, but you kept your breath away. It's been so many years, do you still remember?"

   Gu Jingyun snorted softly, fell back on the sand, and said with squinted eyes: "Remember, I have a very small heart, no matter how small my hatred is, I will remember it."

  Li Baolu laughed, lying beside him and coaxing: "Okay, I know it's my fault, you shouldn't doubt your little belly."

  Gu Jingyun snorted softly, closed his eyes and ignored her.

  Li Baolu also lay down and sighed comfortably, "If only I could live like this every day, with the sea breeze blowing, the warm sun, and the blue sky, white clouds and the sea, my bones are so comfortable."

   Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment before saying, "Comfort will shorten people's aspirations, especially you, so stop basking in the sun and go pick up your fish."

   Li Baolu snorted, but still got up to look for the washed up seafood.

  Gu Jingyun looked at her lively back and remained silent, following him was not destined to be ordinary and comfortable, and he might not even be able to save his life in the end.

   But so what, they are already husband and wife, husband and wife who live and die together, if he lives, he will definitely keep her safe, and if he dies, Baolu will naturally follow.

   Husband and wife are one, life and death naturally go together.

Li Baolu didn't know that Gu Jingyun behind him was thinking about eighteen ways for her to be buried if he died. She was really happy to pick up the conch, put it on a string and show it to Gu Jingyun. She said happily, "We can prepare more, when we get to the capital. It can be given as a gift, those people who have never seen the sea must be very new to these.”
