The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 201 The girl is extraordinary

"What kind of person do you think I want in the future to be worthy of sister Ali and be the brother-in-law of brothers-in-law like you?" Huang Biao put his arm around Wan Baoquan's shoulders and smiled.

Wan Baoquan glanced at him sideways: "Stop it, as of now, no one can be my brother-in-law, so don't be too narrow-minded, kid!"

Huang Biao sighed, did he dare to imagine such a powerful girl?
"You all have to be careful lately. They are pulling iron slag and bricks and lumber. Did you know that the horse bandits in the nearby mountains have been wandering back and forth in the county town several times?"

Wan Baoquan slapped Huang Biao on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, the Wang family has only been gone for a few days, and you can sneak away to the county seat!"

Huang Biao looked around: "Keep your voice down, the new one can't do anything, but we can't be stupid and pretend that he doesn't exist. If the superiors find out and replace him with a more powerful one, isn't that asking for death? ?”

Jingli happened to hear Huang Biao's words when she came over. Otherwise, she could admit that Wanbaoquan had made friends with Huang Biao. From this alone, it can be seen that this person is aware of current affairs and will not forget his roots when he succeeds.

"I will take advantage of the darkness in the next few days to bring you some stones. They are all top-quality green granite. After a little polishing, they will be perfect for making floors!" Huang Biao whispered.

Jing Li was very grateful: "Brother Huang, this is not good. If people find out later, you will have a hard time in the quarry!"

Huang Biao said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, now I have the final say on the entire Dangshi Mountain. The one who was blocked by Yinzi didn't dare to say anything. Besides, he's already in this quarry. Is it possible if he doesn't make some money?" Are you here to see the rocks?”

Seeing that Huang Biao acted in a measured manner, Jing Li stopped worrying about the matter.

"Brother Quanzi, take the people to deliver wine to Chang'an and ask for news there. I'll go to the county to finish the work. Then we'll go to the intersection of Dangshi Mountain and check out the location with Brother Huang!"

Jingli's trip to the county town was mainly to ask questions about the inn's procedures. Once the procedures were completed, when the busy farming season in April was over, he could start preparing to open the inn.

Anyway, the house won't be built in a while, and you have to earn money. You can't have the whole village focusing on building a house, and the money in your pocket won't be able to withstand it.

In the county town in March, there was no atmosphere of prosperity. There was no one in the restaurants. From time to time, beggars walked along the street begging for food and were scolded by the shopkeepers.

"Second brother, spring has begun in March, and wild vegetables are sprouting in the fields. Why are there so many beggars?" Jingli asked the waiter while eating noodles.

The waiter wiped the table and said, "Girl, you don't know. Our place is pretty good. There was a drought in Qingzhou last year. So far, not a drop of rain has fallen. There is also a heavy rainstorm in Jizhou. You Why does God like to torture people like this?"

"I can't live any longer, so I can only drag my family and run here. Many people froze to death at the pass in the winter, but it still can't stop many people from pouring in this spring."

"The few wild vegetables in the wild are not enough for these people to eat. What do you think we will do if we don't beg?"

Jingli sighed and said no more. Natural disasters and famine were always one of the major causes of riots, not to mention the continuous military disasters, which made it impossible for these poor people to live.

It seems that we need to speed up the construction of Gaiwubao and complete it as soon as possible while maintaining quality and quantity.

Xu San was very happy to see Jin Li: "Hey, it's sister A Li here. How are the old man and the others doing lately?"

"My thoughts are with you, Third Brother Xu. Everything is well at home!" Jing Li said with a smile.

After some pleasantries, Xu San whispered to Jing Li that Wang Xiaomei was dead, and she died in the military camp.

Jingli knew what was going on as soon as she heard about the military camp. At this point, except for a few children, all the Wang family was gone. "How did the third brother know about this?"

Xu San pointed in the direction of Wang Lizheng's house: "The Wang family came over to sell their house, and I stopped by to inquire about it!"

"It's really a crime. Originally, several daughter-in-law's parents were fighting to raise their children because of the house. Now, once the house is sold, the children are living on the streets with no one to take care of them!"

"Tell me, is it because the Wang family has done so many bad things and all the evil they have done has been repaid to their children and grandchildren?"

Jing Li looked at the beggar on the street without comment. With this attitude, the stability and prosperity of Chang'an City would soon be broken, just like a mirror in a mirror.

The two of them arrived at the county government office while talking. Li Weishan heard that Jingli was coming, so he came out personally to welcome Jingli in: "Girl, what are you going to do?"

Jingli said unceremoniously: "I want to open an inn at the junction of Dangshi Mountain and the county town. I don't know what procedures are required?"

Li Weishan pondered for a while: "The procedure is not troublesome. The girl will just report the name of the store and the person in charge. It's just that the place is a bit secluded. Aren't you afraid that the bandits will come again?"

Jingli suddenly made a sad face: "Who said you are not afraid? But what are we people not afraid of? The other side is afraid of the Liao people, and the other side is afraid of the horse bandits. We have to make a living, sir, don't you think so?"

Li Weishan nodded: "If that's the case, then I'll make the decision to exempt you from the taxes for this first year!"

"Then thank you so much, sir!" Jing Li bowed and saluted Li Weishan.

After the matter at the inn was settled, Li Weishan called Master Liang to register Jingli. The entire procedure was completed in less than half an hour.

After Jingli left, Liang Zhubo asked Li Weishan: "Sir, why do you think so highly of this girl that you even exempted her from taxes for a year?"

"Besides, in that area, the inn is open for business, but horse bandits are also very rampant. If something happens, won't we have to find someone to blame?"

Li Weishan put his hands behind his hands and looked at the door: "You think I don't know this? This girl is extraordinary!"

"General Bai is her uncle, and General Huai'an is her biological father. It is said that he and the Xiao family have a close relationship. Do you think it is my turn to worry about this matter?"

Lord Liang Bo was startled and then said clearly: "No wonder you dare to open an inn in that place!"

Then he remembered something again: "Do you think the Wang family will be unhappy if this girl's inn opens?"

Li Weishan sneered: "What does it have to do with me whether he is happy or unhappy? It turns out that when his family made a lot of money, he didn't see any benefit from me. After all, there are people in his Wang family who are superior, and I can't do anything."

"Now that this girl wants to open an inn, if the Wang family is not happy, then they can speak out on their own and don't do anything to me."

Li Weishan had the idea of ​​watching the fire from the other side, but if Jingli was sensible and knew how to be considerate of his parents, he wouldn't be able to give the Wang family a beating.

After Jingli completed the formalities, she wandered around the county town waiting for Wanbaoquan. She originally thought she would have to wait until dark before waiting for Wanbaoquan, but she didn't expect that Wanbaoquan would come back in a hurry just after noon.

Wanbaoquan came back in a hurry, and Jingli suddenly had a bad feeling.
