The governor was indeed moved and leaned forward, "Are you serious?"
"Really? I have no other interests in my life except to serve the land."
Go to hell, I don’t want to farm in this life. In the past, only a fool would work in the fields if your dad forced you to do so. You will be exhausted to death!
"Go back first and wait for my news."
"Yes, students, please leave!"
It looks like they'll be able to move in soon, not bad!
After Zhao Dashu left, the prefect immediately asked someone to get a list of all the owners of the farms in the suburbs.
Excluding those whom I know and have a good relationship with.
"Who is this Tian Wei?"
"Sir, he is the owner of a cloth shop in the prefecture, and this farm was inherited from his ancestors."
Forget about the ancestral property, he won’t try to steal it.
"Where's the tension?"
"He is the nephew of the Tongpan, he..."
"Okay," the governor interrupted him impatiently, "how about this?"
"This is..."
The governor threw the list in his hand dejectedly and said, "Who can force the sale? Mark them out for the official."
The assistant was a little embarrassed. "It's not easy to own a farm in the capital city. Who wouldn't have some connections?"
There's nothing wrong with that.
He thought of the three farms in his hands, and felt heartbroken. He went home to discuss with his wife whether he should give up the smallest one.
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If Zhao Dashu can't cook anything, he should spit out the same thing he eats.
When he got home, he found everyone sitting in the main room waiting for him.
My brother and his family are all worried about him!
"How's Dashu? What did the governor want to see you about? Did he give you any trouble?"
"No, he heard from the county magistrate that I had settled in the prefectural capital, so he asked me to come over and ask a few questions. He thought I was planning to continue taking the exam and wanted to ask about my studies. Later, when he found out I had stopped studying, he asked me what my future plans were."
"The governor still cares about you?"
"Isn't it just that I made a rice seedling a few days ago that he remembers it? He also met us when we passed the imperial examination. Wouldn't he remember it when the county magistrate mentioned it?"
"What did you say to the governor?"
"I told him I don't have big ambitions, and now I just want to go out for a cup of tea and a stroll."
The people in the room were speechless. How could this man be so honest?
How could the prefect like him when he is so unmotivated?
"Is the governor unhappy?"
"No, he said everyone has their own aspirations, and told me to come to him if I have any problems."
Dad said Zhao Xiaoyu didn't believe a word he said, and he must have been asked to go over because of the governor Luoche.
Otherwise, they might have forgotten who he was. They haven't done anything big in the past few years.
I'll ask again after we're done.
There are many people in my family now, and one problem is that we can't even keep secrets from each other because our house is too small and we have to live in the same yard and stick together all day long.
During nap time, Zhao Xiaoyu and his family finally have some time to themselves.
"What's going on? Are you going to give a reward for the plow?"
"No, he wanted me to continue working."
It's really nosy for one or two people to interfere. He's only lived for a few days. Who are they bothering?
"I want you to continue developing agricultural tools?"
"Well, I told him I wanted that piece of land, and that I was experimenting with how to increase grain production. Anyway, the implication was that you need land to work."
"Did he give you the land?"
"If they don't have any land to sell to me, where can they sell it to me? They wanted to allocate a few acres to me in the village, but I refused."
"It's such a rip-off. We still need him to get a few acres of land in the village. We can't buy it anywhere else."
"That's right, I discovered this guy today. He's quite stingy. But I think he'll be able to build a farm for us in the end. I think he's interested, especially when it comes to food."
"Heartbeat, haha, Dad, if you stop for a few more years and don't come up with anything, do you think he will still be interested? Even if he gives us the farm, I guess he will only sell it to us temporarily."
Their family had no power or influence. She had already found out clearly in the provincial capital that no one who owned a large piece of land was simple-minded.
The fact that he could become a prefect shows how smart he is.
