Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Qin Liu regretted his rashness.

Yang Shen traveled more than 2000 miles from Shabaozi Town to Anhua in the northwest just to be with Guangsi and himself.

But she never cared about whether he was safe and smooth along the way. She only asked about the current situation of his family and fiancé. It was really cold-blooded.

Even if Yang Shen has a family, he should avoid suspicion, but as a friend, he should ask a few questions!
Qin Liu, Qin Liu, you are so incompetent!
Qin Liu was suddenly shocked!
She suddenly realized that her sense of belonging to Liu Xuejiang was getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes she unknowingly confused herself with her.

This made Qin Liu feel helpless and depressed.

She didn't want to play the maverick daughter Liu Xuejiang.

She prefers to be the unique Qin Liu.

However, she has regarded these precious former friends of Liu Xuejiang as her friends.

Qin Liu was a little scared. She was worried that she would become more and more addicted to living in Liu Xuejian's world and gradually forget herself.

Early the next morning, Qin Liu got up early and waited outside Yang Shen's door.

When Ding Jicheng brought Yang Shen face wash, he greeted her and disturbed Yang Shen in the room.

Yang Shen went out quickly and asked Qin Liu if he wanted to see him.

Qin Liu asked with some embarrassment: "Brother Yongxiu, what did you say I promised last night? Brother Yongxiu, can you make it clear?"

Yang Shen was a little embarrassed and then said: "Back then, you just said that you would promise us a condition after we have achieved success in our studies."

"Oh."

It's like promising a blank check.

Just as Qin Liu was about to speak, Hu Guangsi came over, already dressed and ready to go out: "Guangsi has some things to do. He has to go out today. Wait for us to meet again when I come back."

Yang Shen raised his eyebrows, looked at Qin Liu and said, "I just want to go out for a walk, would Ah Jiang be willing to go with me?"

Qin Liu came to Anhua and had not been out in the past few days. After some thought, she agreed - she wanted to investigate whether there was any possibility of long-term residence in Anhua County.

In fact, Qin Liu had never gone shopping much. Except for Shabaozi Town and Qin'an County, he had not been to other more prosperous places.

Although I did some shopping in Xuanfu, I went straight to Jinxiu Square, where clothes are made, accompanied by Zhu Yue, so it was not considered shopping.

Qin Liu took the rented sedan, Yang Shen and Hu Guangsi rode horses, and the three of them went out together.Mo Ran followed the sedan on foot.

Qin Liu sighed secretly in the sedan chair, not knowing how Zhu Yue was recovering.

Although Anhua County is the seat of government, it is not much more prosperous than Qin'an County, which is remote and comfortable.

Guang Si had to go to the governor's Yamen to do some work, so Yang Shen and Qin Liu drank tea in the tea shop opposite the Yamen's gate and waited for him.

Dr. Tea saw that Yang Shen and Qin Liu were accompanied by servants and maids, and they did not have local accents. He stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically: "Master and madam, would you like to try our Ningxia specialty - tartary buckwheat tea? Our tartary buckwheat tea tastes sweet. It tastes delicious. If you like it, you can treat it as a specialty and take some back to your hometown as gifts for guests."

Yang Shen and Qin Liu were a little embarrassed - it seemed that Dr. Tea regarded them as husband and wife.

After all, Qin Liu had opened a shop and done business, and was very skilled in dealing with people. He quickly reacted and took over the topic from Dr. Tea: "What is tartary buckwheat tea? You can have a pot and try it first."

Dr. Tea was very observant. He smiled and brought up a pot of tea. He poured it for Yang Shen and Qin Liu without calling out to the master or madam.

"Tartary buckwheat is a specialty of our northwest. It grows in places where the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is different from traditional tea. It is actually a kind of grain tea." Qin Liuluo knew after tasting it. It is similar to barley tea in modern society. It tastes good. It is slightly bitter at first, followed by the aroma of wheat and burnt, with a sweet aftertaste that leaves a fragrant taste in your mouth.

Yang Shen just picked up the tea cup and touched his lips slightly, and kept frowning at the scene on the street outside the window.

Qin Liushun looked around and saw several women with their children crying and shouting at the gate of the governor's office. Several officers with water and fire sticks were pushing and driving them away impatiently at the gate of the governor's office.

Dr. Tea saw this and introduced enthusiastically: "This situation has happened every day since Mr. An took office last year. I'm afraid these two nobles are new here and haven't gotten used to it yet."

Yang Shen raised his eyebrows.

"This governor's office is a solemn place. Why do so many people come to make trouble every day?"

"You don't know something, noble man. Mr. An has made three fires as a new official since he took office last year. The first fire was towards the military farmland. In all likelihood, our Ningxia military farmland has become the private property of the generals. How can it be so easy to spit out the fat you eat?
Mr. An exercised an iron fist and arrested several generals for questioning and asked their families to hand over their farmland.How could the families of these generals be willing?The more aggressive ones brought their children and servants to the governor's office to cause trouble.

An Da was so popular that he even arrested a few who made trouble and beat them with twenty sticks, but unfortunately it had no effect. "

Yang Shen's lips curled up with a trace of sarcasm: "This Master An doesn't care about his face."

Dr. Tea hurriedly took over the topic: "Master An's methods are quite gentle. The new young minister of Dali Temple, Master Zhou Du, is the real iron fist! Your Excellency, please have tea."

Dr. Tea watched eagerly as Yang Shen took a big sip of tea, showing an expression of surprise, and then continued to speak with a wide smile.

"The villain just listened to the discussion among the tea-goers, saying that Master Zhou Du, in order to flatter some Liu Jin, catered to the false report, falsely increased the farmland by hundreds of hectares, and ordered all of them to be rented out.

They even bribed Liu Jin with more than fifty acres per hectare. The garrison general and guards were so angry that they even came to the governor's Yamen to complain.

However, Mr. An ignored them and only ordered them to hand over the land they owned in their name. "

Yang Shen slammed the teacup on the table, which startled Qin Liu.

"Wouldn't this kind of careless governance lead to trouble? What a mediocrity! Idiot!"

Qin Liu comforted the innocent-looking Dr. Tea and said, "Your tartary buckwheat tea is good. I want to buy some to give away. Mo Ran, you go and discuss the price and amount with Dr. Tea."

She smiled at Yang Shen again.

"Brother Yongxiu is too scholarly. Ningxia is located in the northwest, with high mountains and far away from the emperor, and the people are fierce. If these local officials don't use some iron-fisted measures, they may not be able to deter their subordinates. Why do you have to do this? Chi Qi?"

On the contrary, Yang Shen became even more depressed and his tone was passionate.

"It is precisely because of the fierce folk customs that the methods of dealing with things cannot be simple and crude. We must come up with effective and comprehensive strategies to avoid future troubles!"

Qin Liu was not convinced, "Is there any foolproof strategy that can allow you to seize other people's property, and other people won't fight with you?! What a book business!"

Qin Liu took a sip of tea and said, "If you were Mr. An, what would you do?"

Yang Shen's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he stared at the tea cup and thought carefully.

Qin Liu didn't interrupt him, just drank tea quietly and waited.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years.The military farms in various places were used by generals and officers of all dynasties to turn them into their own private property, presumably because the number of military households decreased and the fields were left uncultivated.

She had already experienced these things in Shabaozi Town.

For these generals, the status of soldiers is low, their pay and wages are often not paid properly, and the court doesn't care. Why don't we let us have enough food and clothing by ourselves?
How can it be so easy for us to vomit out the farmland we obtained based on our ability?
