Chapter 214 Excessive deification
Xiao Jin knew very well in his heart that all the favors of the Xiao family today are due to the current Holy Majesty.

If he wants to use you, he will praise you. If he doesn't want to use you, he doesn't have to do anything, and those aristocratic families in Yanjing will suppress you.

Just like when he entered the Hanlin Academy after the palace examination, except for the first few days when the mansion was a little lively, it returned to normal in the end.

It wasn't until a woman from a side branch of the family entered the palace and was named a concubine, and the favor continued, that the Xiao family really became popular. It was also at this time that he gradually fell into the eyes of the Holy Majesty, and was finally entrusted with important tasks.

So he told his parents early that no matter what the situation in the court was, their Xiao family should not stand in line, and even if Concubine Xiao gave birth to a prince, they should not be greedy.

They can't guess the emperor's thoughts. As long as they obey the emperor's instructions and do their job well, they can ensure the safety, prosperity and wealth of this life.

And Gu Su's family is now in the eyes of the Holy Majesty, and it is still in the aspect of agriculture that the Holy Majesty values ​​most.

The officials in the Bureau of Agricultural Affairs are all personally selected by the Holy Majesty, and their status is so high that it can be clearly seen by looking at the marriages of the officials' children.

Even the concubine daughter of the lowest-ranking clerk inside is the object of marriage proposals by various families.

Things have changed at this time, maybe the Xiao family will still need to rely on the Gu family more than ten years later...

Xiao Jin was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even hear Man's call.

Seeing that something was wrong, Man Yi frowned slightly, and shouted a few more times.

"My lord, it's getting late, we should go back."

Only then did Xiao Jin come back to his senses, and looked at Man Yi in a daze, and when he heard him say that it was getting late, he subconsciously glanced at the sky.

The sun disappeared without a trace at some point, and night fell quietly, dispelling the red glow from the sky.

He withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly, and stopped thinking about those things.

Su Mo suddenly made a sound. With a just right smile, she cupped her hands and saluted, "Master County Magistrate, the lady has something to ask, I don't know if I can stay and listen to the lady?"

Xiao Jin looked over and felt that Gu Sushi in front of him was like a wolf in sheep's clothing, those fox eyes were full of calculations.

Such a thoughtful and thoughtful person, if he can avoid offending people, he should try his best not to offend them.

Of course, he doesn't need to be too flattering, otherwise it might backfire.

Xiao Jin's expression did not change, but his tone became respectful, "Madam Gu, please speak."

Xiao Jin's veiled flattery towards Su Mo is not unique today. She has noticed it since Xiao Jin came to Luoshan Village at the beginning, and as Xiao Jin's visits to Luoshan Village increased, Su Mo discovered Xiao Jin's love for her. His attitude became more and more respectful.

She didn't know that Xiao Jin had deified her too much, she just thought that Xiao Jin still hoped to make meritorious service by improving the saline-alkali land, and besides, there was an imperial decree from the Holy One to reward her, so her attitude was naturally a bit unusual.

That's why she dared to speak and ask Xiao Jin to help.

"The population of the Gu family is small, and the 3000 catties of wheat is really too much. If I sell it, I am a woman, and I have children to watch at home, so it is not easy to find a rice noodle shop to do this business.

I don't know if the county magistrate can do a good job and help find a seller? "

Xiao Jin was slightly taken aback. He was already prepared for Su Mo to make some exorbitant demands, but he never thought that he was asking him to find a buyer?

The brain was running fast, Xiao Jin quickly came back to his senses, and agreed, "It's easy to talk about..."

Thinking of the joke that Emperor Jing Yong had said, Xiao Jin looked at Su Mo again, smiled inwardly, and was willing to sell Su Mo well.

"Today, the Holy Majesty kept his promise, and when he learned that Fang Shi had agreed to give the wheat he produced to Mrs. Gu's property, he was reluctant but agreed.

I just joked in my spare time that this saline-alkali land has never grown a blade of grass, and I don’t know what the taste of the crops and things made is, and whether it will be different from that of the ordinary land...

I was thinking about buying some wheat with you and sending it to the palace after the harvest, but I never thought you would take the initiative to bring this up.

That being the case, the officials want these wheat, the price..."

"Even if it is dedicated to the Holy Majesty, women should naturally do their part, and the price should be [-]% of the market price.

In addition, I would like to trouble the county magistrate to leave three hundred catties of wheat for the women. The women still have children to raise, so they can save some. "

Su Mo interrupted Xiao Jin without changing his expression. The words, which were obviously flattering, fell into Xiao Jin's ears, but made him even more frightened.

Gu Su said it so naturally, as if everything was under her control.

"Madam Gu has a heart."

Xiao Jin forced himself to calm down.

"It's just that it's getting late today, and I haven't brought any money with me, so, while I have everything at this moment, I'll divide up the three hundred catties of wheat first, so that you can take it home.

The remaining wheat was collected first, and tomorrow the Japanese officials will send people to move it away and send the money to the small courtyard of Gu's family.

feasible? "

Su Mo naturally had no objection, "Thank you, magistrate."

After discussing the matter, the sky completely darkened, Xiao Jin gave his orders, and after watching the yamen servant go to weigh the wheat, he left in the carriage first.

He has to go back to the county government office and write the memorial first. The black armor guard will return to Beijing in a few days. He can just ask Vice Commander Qin to help bring the memorial there first. Then he will send the wheat to the post station and let the post station escort it into Beijing.

And the yamen servants who stayed in Luoshan Village saw that the new county magistrate had an unusual attitude towards this Gu Su family, so they would be very attentive.

Three hundred catties of wheat were weighed out and packed into bags, and one of the yamen servants leaned over with a flattering expression, "Madam Gu, it's late at night and the wheat is heavy, can we help you send it to the small courtyard?"

The village chief and the others are busy moving other wheat into the temporary shed. The weather in spring is unpredictable. If it rains at night, put it under the shed and cover it with a large sheet of oil paper, so that it will not be used. Afraid of getting wet.

Su Mo glanced at them and saw that they were busy, so she nodded, with a smile on her face, cupped her hands and said, "Then I will trouble everyone."

The yamen servants saw that Su Mo gave face, and the smiles on their faces became more genuine. They waved their hands and said, "Madam Gu is polite."

Su Mo nodded. After watching them move the wheat, they found the village head and asked to go home.

The village chief also heard what the yamen servant said. He nodded and waved his hand, "Go, with those servants around, you can feel more at ease walking at night."

Su Mo knew very well that these yamen servants were not the kind of people who went around showing kindness, but they just wanted to please her when they saw that the county magistrate had an unusual attitude towards her.

But if people please her and are willing to help with work, she can't really treat people like others. She also knows the reason why little ghosts are difficult to deal with.

The Gu family, Gu Qinhan had already prepared dinner, and seeing that Su Mo hadn't come back, he waited at the door, saw that familiar figure from a distance, and hurried over.

How could Su Mo let him show his face in front of the yamen servants? He strode over, and before the yamen servants saw Gu Qinhan, he quickly waved his hand to signal him to go in quickly.

"Go to the kitchen and get some tea to quench the thirst of the servants."

"I'm going right now."

Gu Qinhan reacted quickly, responded immediately, turned around and entered the kitchen without looking back.

The yamen servants all knew what was going on with the Gu family, so when they looked up and saw a man's back, they inevitably had some doubts in their hearts.

But it will matter first to move the wheat in.

The yamen servants looked at each other and put the wheat in the warehouse according to Su Mo's command.
