Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 25 How to Settle Down
Brilliant spring light shines into the tranquil Jiangning County Yamen. Zhou Fu, the magistrate who hurried back to the Yamen in the early morning, had a rare leisure time. Suddenly, he moved the recliner chair in the room and placed it in the courtyard with his own hands. Here comes Song Lian's new article.

Zhou Fu cherishes such time very much.

As the magistrate of the capital, thousands of pairs of eyes stare at his words and deeds every day.

If you are not careful, those censors will seize the opportunity to read a book, and then you will be reprimanded by the emperor.

Although such experiences are rare, the psychological pressure is enormous.

A calm environment, a contented mood, if there is no knock on the door, life on this day should be extremely perfect.

Zhou Fu folded the manuscript carefully, and after getting up from the recliner, he responded to the knock on the door angrily:
"Who is it?"

Dian Shi Liu's hurried voice suddenly sounded from outside the door:

"Lord magistrate, someone came with Wei Guogong's name card and said that if there is an order."

Wei Guogong?
When Zhou Fu heard that the visitor was from Xu Da, he frowned slightly and murmured in his heart.

In the past two days, I haven't heard from the servants that there is trouble caused by the young master of Duke Wei's mansion. Xu Daping sent people here for no reason. What is the purpose?
However, even though Zhou Fu still had some misgivings in his heart, the official senior level crushed people, but he didn't turn away people from the future.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Fu told Liu Ziran who was outside the door: "Take him to the side hall, and you wait for a while, I will come after I pack up."

What I did to clean up was just to give myself time to speculate.

After thinking about the time for a cup of tea, Zhou Fu still couldn't figure out why Xu Da sent someone to find him, so he stopped thinking about it, tidied up his clothes, and hurried to the side hall.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold of the side hall, Zhou Fu saw that the visitor was drinking the tea that Liu Ziran had prepared for him, and beside him, Dian Shi Liu Ziran stood with an embarrassed expression, without saying a word .

Hearing Zhou Fu's arrival, Liu Ziran breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just a small exile official, although the visitor claimed to be from Wei Guogong's mansion, but he exuded a terrifying aura.Liu Ziran didn't even dare to look at the person coming, because that kind of eyes made him feel suffocated.

He made a gesture to go out.

"You stay here."

Zhou Fu wanted to keep him in order to be a witness.In the future, if Xu Da and Hu Weiyong, the two gods, had any conflicts, they could use Liu Ziran to pick him out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Ziran stepped out and stopped his legs, Zhou Fu's arrangement was vetoed by the people who came: "Go out and watch, no one is allowed to approach within five feet. If you let people come over, you will wait for the fifth army to come over." The Governor's Mansion is going to your house as a guest."

The words are not only full of unquestionable arrogance, but also full of threats.

Liu Tianran couldn't help but shivered, and in Zhou Fu's somewhat annoyed eyes, he wisely chose to obey obediently.

It wasn't until he was six feet away from the side hall that Liu Ziran felt lucky to have escaped from the tiger's mouth.

But what he didn't know was that at this time Zhou Fu had already put away his previous anger, and knelt down on the ground with a face of horror, holding a polished waist card in his trembling hands.

"Yiluansi, the first-class bodyguard."

The first-class guard of Yiluan Division, who is the third rank, is definitely the emperor's personal guard.

He really couldn't think of what he had done in the past few years, so that the emperor's own army came to him under the guise of Wei Guogong.

Zhou Fu's uneasy look made the guard a little satisfied.

It seemed that Zhou Fu had already had enough effect on Zhou Fu, so the magistrate of Jiangning got up and sat down to talk.

"I came here this time to let you do one thing."

"Under the jurisdiction of your county, there is a young man named Zhu Shishi near Hutou Mountain outside Jiqing Gate. You should assign all the [-] mu of land around his parents' tomb to his name, and compensate him at a hundred taels of silver per mu. to farmers."

"In addition, tell those people that they will be exempted from paying taxes for three years."

"As soon as the flowers are used, I will bring someone to deliver them in person in the future. Remember that this matter must be handled by you yourself, and you will say to the outside world that this person's parents have an old relationship with Wei Guogong, and His Majesty rewards him for his loyalty."

As if he felt that such an order was not enough to keep Zhou Fu a secret, the guard solemnly warned:

"This matter was ordered by His Majesty himself, don't make it public, it must be done well."

After finishing speaking, the guard stood up and bowed to Zhou Fu, and left.

But Zhou Fu, who sent him out of the main gate of the county yamen, returned to the backyard distraught, but couldn't calm down for a long time.

It's really not easy to be the magistrate of Guo Jingcheng.

I thought that the big and small officials in this prefecture would be enough to give me a headache, but who knew that even the country people could make me uneasy.

As smart as he is, he doesn't believe that the emperor would secretly send Yiluan's guards to order him to do things for a countryman who had an old relationship with Duke Wei.

I'm afraid that this Wei Guogong is just a cover, and the real old man with that young man is the emperor himself.

However, what does it have to do with the emperor, and is it worth his troubles?Zhou Fu wanted to find out the answer, but he didn't dare to touch the suspected taboo.In the end, I can only hide my doubts deeply in my heart, and I don't want to have the slightest idea of ​​picking them up.

But the protagonist who he regards as a taboo is worrying about the sky at this time.

That's right, just worrying.

Originally, I wanted to do it myself, so that the crops in this field could have a bumper harvest.

But now, seeing the rice in the field getting higher and higher day by day, he found that he could think of any means of increasing production such as intensive farming and hybrid rice cultivation-none of them.

How sad this is.

Zhu Ji felt that in his previous life, he was indeed spoiled by the favorable living conditions.

Those skills and knowledge that they think they have mastered are only found to be self-confidence when they are used.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang told him that he wanted to marry Xu Da and Feng Sheng, Zhu Ji suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.

Reflecting on his current situation, Zhu Ji couldn't help being taken aback by his own poverty.

If it weren't for being helped by Zhu Yuanzhang for more than a year, I'm afraid I would have drunk the northwest wind to the sky.

However, from Zhu Ji's point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's later sons would certainly not want one more person to share the family property with them.What Zhu Yuanzhang can give him is this moment of stability.

Although the marriage with Xu Da and Feng Sheng is enough to put him on the thigh, but the rich life given by others is no different from a castle in the sky.

Zhu Ji hoped that time could pass faster.

As long as November comes, the system that has been on standby should respond.

At that time, I must seize the opportunity and use the help of the system to obtain the capital to truly settle down in this era.
