Chapter 192 The Villain’s Trouble
Han San: "Miss Zhao, just feel free to send us brothers. The young master left a message before he left. We brothers will obey Miss Zhao's instructions in everything!"
Han Si: "Yes, that's right, Master said, we can go up the mountain to chop wood, go to the fields to plant rice, or even herd cattle and feed pigs. Miss Zhao, please don't be polite!"
Zhao Liya couldn't help laughing, "Your master is so polite!"
Han San and Han Si could only smile. Their young master had never been a polite person, and that was only with Miss Zhao. The young master said that Miss Zhao was a partner and had helped them a lot. Now the Zhao family was also helping to take care of the young master, so they had to listen to Miss Zhao!
After Zhou Hansheng said this, Zhao Liya was in a very good mood.
In this case, it would be inappropriate not to find something for these two people to do.
Zhao Liya thought for a moment and smiled, "There's really not much to do right now. You just need to look after the school on a daily basis, and take care of the orchard and garden here, cleaning and weeding every few days. Also, there are over 30 acres of paddy fields affiliated with the school nearby. You can help check if they're short of water. We'll buy some servants soon, and I'd like you two to help train them. There's not much else to do."
"By the way, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, go to the village home. Ah Nian might miss you!"
Han San and Han Si were overjoyed and thanked him after hearing this.
"Yes, yes, Miss Zhao, don't worry, we have remembered everything you said and will definitely take care of it for you!"
Who could ever forget Sister Shu Yan's cooking after having tasted it? They couldn't imagine enjoying a long and satisfying feast, but every meal they could get was a good one.
The young master asked them to move out of the Zhao family's house and live outside, and they dared not disobey. However, since Miss Zhao invited them, they could not refuse Miss Zhao's kindness!
Go over to visit the young master, and naturally stay for a meal.
Zhao Liya knew what the two were thinking by looking at their expressions and couldn't help laughing to herself.
There are really few people in this world who can resist Sister Shu Yan's craftsmanship.
The grafting of persimmon trees in Baijia Village is nearing completion.
The persimmon tree flowering season is coming soon, and this is no longer suitable for grafting.
However, the search for wild persimmon trees is not affected. We can dig up the trees, bring them back, and plant them. The season is about a month away.
It was too hot at that time, so it was naturally not suitable for transplanting.
Zhao Liya specially went to the persimmon forest for a day. The grafting effect was good. The earliest grafted batch had already begun to sprout and grow long strips.
Next, we should discuss building a workshop.
This is equivalent to a long-term foundation for the village, and everyone in the village agrees.
Bai Lizheng said, "Miss Zhao, you can build a workshop wherever you see fit. We'll even vacate farmland for you. We won't hesitate."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Any flat, spacious and open place will do."
The workshop must be built on flat ground. After all, goods need to be transported back and forth, and it cannot be built halfway up the mountain.
We also have to prevent landslides, river flooding, etc., and there is nothing else to worry about.
Such places are not difficult to find.
We quickly identified a vacant lot on the right side of Baijia Village.
Because the vacant land was full of rocks and could not be cultivated to grow crops, it remained barren.
It's just right for building a workshop.
After a visual estimate, it was about 20 acres. Together with the slope on the side, I bought it all, making a total of more than 30 acres. I built a few houses to arrange people to live on duty, and as a temporary office, which was just right.
After finding a good place, Bai Lizheng and two young men from the village happily accompanied Hu Ling into the city to go to the county government to register, buy land, and get a land deed.
This is the land of Baijia Village. As long as Bai Lizheng agrees, Hu Ling can buy it and get the land deed.
In theory, this is a very simple matter. It was easy to handle the same thing in Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai before.
But this time, they ran into trouble.
They didn't see County Magistrate Yin in the county government office at all. It was said that County Magistrate Yin was busy with official business, so it was the legal advisor who met them.
In the past, when Hu Ling came to apply for a land deed, the lawyer would greet him warmly, if not with a smile. But today, the lawyer seemed rather indifferent, answering his questions impatiently. He didn't even wait for him to finish his words before he turned stern and scolded him.
It’s not that they won’t do it, they just said that the county magistrate is busy lately and is not available, so come back in a few days!
The young man didn't understand the ins and outs of this, and although he felt a little disappointed and disappointed, he still tried to comfort Hu Ling, "Brother Hu, if that's the case, let's come back in a few days!"
There was also a young man who chased after the master and kept asking, "Master, may I ask, how many days will it be in a few days?"
The lawyer was too lazy to pay attention to him and replied vaguely: "It will be in a few days anyway, who knows? Your Excellency is busy with official duties, so it will be when you are done."
Then he said he had something to do and left.
Hu Ling didn't quite understand these twists and turns at first, but after following Zhao Liya in and out of work for so long, he naturally had some twists and turns in his mind.
Bai Lizheng and he looked at each other and both realized: it was intentional.
The legal advisor is just a messenger. This is what the county magistrate meant.
Bai Lizheng quickly expressed his opinion, shaking his head and saying, "We in Baijia Village probably haven't offended the County Magistrate. After all, there aren't many things that would cause trouble to the government."
Hu Ling also smiled bitterly: "It is even more impossible for us to offend the county magistrate!"
The Zhao family is still a fugitive, and is naturally sensitive. Only a madman would offend the county magistrate.
In other words, the Zhao family is now a criminal. They have offended the county magistrate and have been thrown into jail long ago.
"Let's go back first. Aya might have a solution."
Bai Lizheng also had the same idea, "Okay."
Bai Lizheng simply didn't even go back to the village, and went directly to Yan Village with Hu Ling.
When Zhao Liya heard this, she immediately thought of the county magistrate's brother-in-law Mao Dexing.
This matter might be related to this person.
However, it is not certain.
She smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Bai Lizheng is relieved. This workshop can definitely be built. Let's find someone to find out what's going on."
Bai Lizheng felt relieved by her words. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, that's it! If you need any help, Miss Zhao, just ask!"
"Well, thank you, Uncle Lizheng."
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling prepared a gift and quietly came to Yu Gongcao's house the next day.
Yu Gongcao didn't want to say it at first, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Zhao Liya simply made it clear.
Seeing that she had guessed it herself, Yu Gongcao no longer concealed it and said with a wry smile, "Miss Zhao, since you already know it, why bother asking again?"
