Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 214

A dozen or so horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the county government's mansion, which aroused heated discussions among an unknown number of people.

Every year at the end of the new year, the palace will hand down New Year's rewards to Xun's family. Last year, Duke Wei's mansion was the most, followed by Duke Qi's mansion.

And this year, Ankang County Government is indeed the most.

Although Su Cheng is only the Duke of the county, Rong Chong is the head of Chang'an.

Moreover, no one objected, even Wei Zheng, who was the most upright, didn't make any sense.

It's not because Su Cheng's family is profound, nor is it because Empress Changsun views Su Cheng differently, nor is it because the Supreme Emperor praises Su Cheng very much.It's not because Su Cheng is about to become Princess Changle's son-in-law.

It's because Su Cheng has indeed contributed the most to Datang throughout the past year.

The city walls were repaired with cement to resist foreign enemies, and the secret recipes of medicine were used to save countless lives.

Regardless of honorable officials or ordinary people, they all felt that Su Cheng deserved the highest reward.

But the people in the county government are still very happy and feel honored.

Originally, when the New Year's Eve was approaching, the atmosphere in the mansion was very lively. Coupled with this grand reward, it turned out that releasing the Buddha was like celebrating the New Year in advance.

"I just went to see it. Wow, the tributes rewarded by the palace are different. The silk is so radiant..." Cui Mo said excitedly.

"There's also that tribute porcelain, and that incense burner, they're so delicate..."

Su Cheng shook his head and laughed and said, "There are also many rewards in the palace, and I have never seen you so excited."

Cui Mo excitedly said: "The rewards this time are different from the previous ones. There are also various gauze tents and colorful fabrics, which the father-in-law doesn't need. This is for the princess!"

Su Cheng faintly said: "The big wedding will be in autumn, it's still early. Before the big wedding, there must be a lot of rewards in the palace, and these will definitely not be used. Whoever you like can take it out and make clothes."

Although Cui Mo was moved, she didn't dare to take the tribute silk as her father-in-law said. After all, she was just a maid, unless the princess rewarded her in the future.

Cui Mo changed the subject and said, "Why does the father-in-law seem to be in a bad mood?"

Su Cheng sighed: "Although the mansion is very lively, I feel a little lonely."

Cui Mo couldn't help feeling pity when she heard this, she knew that the father-in-law was lonely and helpless when he was a child, and grew up with the master, and the master died again.

"Grandpa, you still have me. Although I'm just a maid, I will always be by your side..." Cui Mo murmured while hugging Su Cheng gently.

Su Cheng arched vigorously, the whole world was deserted, it seemed that there was still some warmth here, which gave people comfort.

"Grandfather, grandpa, someone is coming to see you!"

"Who?" Su Cheng asked suspiciously, who else would come to the door when it's the New Year's Eve?

Those veteran killers were not so polite, and Cheng Chumo and the others were practicing horse stance hard in the mansion after being frightened by him, for fear that they would roll off the ball one day.

"It is said that it is from the Cui family of Qinghe."

Qinghe Cui family?What are you here for?He has nothing to do with Qinghe Cui.

Walking to the front hall, Su Cheng turned out to be an acquaintance. It turned out to be Cui Guang, the old man who gave money.

The last time the Wang family in Taiyuan ordered Yushi to impeach him, the old man rushed to give away [-] guan.

"It turned out to be Master Cui, who was disappointed." Su Cheng had a bright smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, you are being too polite. I took the liberty to come to the door today. A small gift is not considered a respect." Cui Guang said with a smile, clasping his hands.

"Last time, Master Cui lost [-] guan, I was really embarrassed." Su Cheng laughed.

Cui Guang waved his hands and said: "Hey, what the county lord said is wrong. I, the Qinghe Cui family, have always been kind and generous, but the county lord donates all his income to build roads. This kind of mind makes the old man very admired!"

Su Chengyun smiled lightly and said: "It's only a few hundred thousand, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Even Cui Guang, who came from a family like Cui Guang, couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly, hundreds of thousands are not worth mentioning?

That's such a big breath!

However, he was relieved to think that Su Cheng held so many secret recipes for making money in his hands, and Su Cheng also held an island full of spices and a huge silver mine, with the cornucopia of the ocean.

Cui Guang cupped his hands and said with emotion: "Regarding fame and fortune like dung, the Duke of the county is quite like a sage, and he will definitely be ranked among the sages and sages in the future, and will be admired by all generations!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Master Cui is absurd!" Su Cheng said modestly.

After boasting for a while, Cui Guang cut straight to the point and said: "It is rumored that the county lord knows a lot about overseas, and today I came here to ask for advice. To tell you the truth, our Qinghe Cui family has long wanted to open up sea routes. How could we have been unable to do so? I also ask the county magistrate not to hesitate to give advice, our Taiyuan Cui family will definitely thank you very much!"

"Overseas, I do know a little bit." Su Cheng smiled slightly.

More than knowing something?

Cui Guang said with a smile: "It is rumored that the Duke of the county wants to give the bearded man a sea map, do you know if it is true or not?"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "It's true. He wants to travel to Fusang. I admire his courage, so I plan to help him. Not only the charts, but I also plan to help him build ships, more advanced ships."

Cui Guang stood up, bowed deeply and said: "On behalf of the Cui family of Qinghe, I also want to ask for sea charts and shipbuilding skills. I also ask the county prince to help."

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Master Cui, why is this so? I, Su Cheng, am not a self-preserving person. When the time is right, I will disclose the sea charts and shipbuilding techniques. The sea is vast, and the world is vast. The sea road is definitely not something that one person and one family can navigate." !"

Cui Guang was shocked. He didn't expect Su Cheng to disclose the charts and shipbuilding skills!

Shouldn't Su Cheng cherish such precious nautical charts and shipbuilding skills?

Cui Guang was both shocked and puzzled.

"I don't know what the county lord means when he says the timing is right?" Cui Guang asked.

"Of course, let the bearded man try it first, and then I will publish the charts. Don't worry, it won't be too late. Maybe in a year or two, maybe in two or three years, I will definitely publish the charts and shipbuilding techniques. " Su Cheng said with a smile.

Cui Guang smiled and said: "Actually, our Qinghe Cui Clan has many warriors. They are also willing to fight the sea and find the way for the county."

Su Cheng just laughed and said nothing, nonsense, of course, I'm waiting for me to get the artillery out, otherwise how can I make you obedient when I get to the sea?

Seeing this, Cui Guang had no choice but to say: "Forget it, the old man will wait for the day when the county magistrate announces the chart, and I hope that day will not be too late."

Leaving the county mansion, Cui Guang sat on the carriage with a smile on his lips, disdain him and understand Su Cheng's approach, he just wanted to make preparations first.

You want meat, let's have soup?

It's not that easy, you still don't know anything about the power of the aristocratic family. Compared with shipbuilding and manpower, you may not be able to compare with the power of the aristocratic family.
