Chapter 647: Zhu Sanfu is in place(1/2)

Three people entered the flower hall.

Liu Renli didn't dare to sit down, and quickly bowed to Fang Jizhong again. After all, he had said another order, and he felt a little nervous. Seeing that Feng Yuchan had not come yet, he came forward and asked.

"Eunuch Fang said, what's going on? Can you tell me? Miss Feng Yuchan has never seen this scene before, and it's really a bit..."

Liu Renli's face was left with only a bitter smile, and Fang Jizhong waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Lord Liu, it's definitely a good thing, don't worry about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuchan had already changed into a dress and came in. Zhou Heng glanced at it. This was Xiu'er's more formal dress. It was good to be so hasty.

She didn't dare to look up and walked quickly to Liu Renli. Fang Jizhong did not make any embarrassment, let alone said directly without too much detail:

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Feng's Yuchan, Yong Hecuichun, has a long-lasting ethics, adheres to the holy teachings, and is filial and filial. I will accept him as my adopted daughter on behalf of King Ning, and join the lineage of King Ning, and immediately enthroned him as the lord of Xianghe County, and granted Liu Renli the wife. He will get married soon, and I will be honored!"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Liu Renli and Feng Yuchan were both stunned, and Zhou Heng laughed behind him.

He had already received news from Zhu Yunmo that the guy couldn't hide his worries at all. When he knew about this, he immediately spread the news, but Zhou Heng didn't tell them.

Surprise and surprise, no surprise comes from the joy. I know in advance that I lack this happiness!

Seeing the two of them, Zhou Heng kicked Liu Renli's foot.

"What are you doing while standing there? Thank you now!"

Liu Renli was stunned and quickly pulled Feng Yuchan's arm. Both of them knelt down and kowtowed. When Liu Renli touched the floor tiles, a tear fell immediately.

"Your Majesty's grace is so great that I have no choice but to thank you. I will definitely devote myself to my entire life until I die!"

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes and turned to the sky. When he was excited, Liu Renli came to die and died. He didn't know how to avoid this person's words.

But I really want to praise Zhu Yunmo and Su Xiaoxiao. This matter was done beautifully and could allow the old emperor to issue an order to turn Miss Feng into the daughter of King Ning and be named Princess Xianghe. This marriage was safe.

Liu Renli received the imperial edict and helped Feng Yuchan get up. Fang Jizhong's face was already smiling and bowed to Feng Yuchan.

"Our family wants to congratulate the Lord Xianghe County. You and Lord Liu don't have to worry about this marriage. Your Majesty has already explained that everything will be prepared by the palace. There will also be an imperial guard in Tongzhou City to inform you along the street, and the wedding will be held in the Ning Palace."

Zhou Heng blinked, Ning Wang Mansion did it?

What was the old emperor's idea?

The Wen family was seven and eight were dissatisfied every day, wishing that Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng would die in an accident, so that her son could take over the position of prince and continue the throne in the future.

The marriage was held in Ningwang Mansion. Isn’t this causing trouble for Wen?

Furthermore, Liu Renli’s wedding was held in Ningwang Mansion. This means letting Liu Renli marry into his family? Import it for Ningwang Mansion?

Zhou Heng blinked, and seemed to have not figured it out, and looked at Fang Jizhong.

"Otherwise, if you organize a marriage in our mansion, it seems that there are some, some in the Ning Mansion..."

Fang Jizhong approached Zhou Heng, and they were the most familiar here. Fang Jizhong was not polite, so he came over and said:

"Your Majesty's meaning is legitimate in the Ning Palace. In addition, it is also helping Miss Feng support me. Besides, Wen took Mr. Zhu Xiaochang to Changping and was still there. It seems that it was a matter of fasting to prepare for the autumn examination."

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Renli, and said with a blink of an eyebrow:

"Oh, I forgot about this matter. There are really not many days before the autumn examination. So wait until Brother Liu recovers and gets married quickly. Don't hold on to this matter."

Fang Jizhong smiled, "What Bo Ye said is that Mr. Liu has no elders in his family, so many procedures can be saved, but there are many things that need to be prepared. I have arranged a good person to start the arrangement. Just set a date here and tell our family in time."

Liu Renli only realized at this moment. He was so excited that he was holding this imperial edict. He was rewarded with gold and silver and promoted his ranks. He was not as thoughtful as this imperial edict. He quickly knelt down again.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your behalf. I don't know how to say thank you. The emperor's grace is so great that I can only manage Tongzhou well and express my gratitude in my heart."

Fang Jizhong quickly helped Liu Renli up, "Mr. Liu, please come up quickly. Our family will tell you in time. The imperial edict has been passed on, so our family will not delay."

Zhou Heng hurried forward, "Eunuch Fang, I will go back to Beijing with you. It just so happened that Zhang Zhongtang's son's injury has stabilized. There are many inconveniences in cultivation here, and the medicine is gone. It is more appropriate to go back to Beishan for treatment."

Liu Renli saw it and quickly bowed.

"It's this time, why don't you leave it for a meal?"

Fang Jizhong waved his hand and looked at Feng Yuchan with a smile.

"Our family will no longer bother Lord Liu and Xianghe County Lord. Uncle Zhou should be able to invite our family to have a meal."

Zhou Heng also smiled, and a few conversations with Fang Jizhong directly extended an olive branch, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Please, Eunuch Fang!"

He said that, he accompanied Fang Jizhong and left directly. After a while, two carriages left with the imperial guards. Of course, the imperial guards on the main streets of Tongzhou had already announced that the Xianghe County Lord had been granted the title.

The people around him came out to watch the fun, but after watching for a long time, they couldn't see anything. They just saw Feng Yuchan helping Liu Renli to come out to say goodbye.

The eunuch Fang even called Feng Yuchan the Lord of Xianghe County. Everyone was excited for a moment. It seemed that what the imperial guards declared was true.

You know, it is already said that Liu Renli's girl is the county lord of Qingping. Unexpectedly, Feng Yuchan became the county lord of Xianghe again. Is this a sign?

Although there were many people talking about it, no one went up to ask. Seeing that the imperial guards had left, they gradually dispersed.

Feng Yuchan held Liu Renli, and saw that everyone was not as contemptuous as before, and his face was full of envy, as if he was still immersed in the moment when the imperial edict was just read. His cheeks were slightly red, and he pulled Liu Renli's arm to signal him to go back.

Liu Renli smiled silly, and saw Feng Yuchan's shyness, and the two went back to the government office directly.

"When Eunuch Fang left, he deliberately greeted you in front of everyone, just to let everyone know that your status is noble and has saved you a lot of trouble. I will come to your father later to discuss the marriage matters with your father."

Feng Yuchan raised her eyes and looked at Liu Renli. Although her face was still red, her eyes were extremely firm. She shook her head and said.

"Let your father come over, your body has not recovered!"

Liu Renli thought it would be better to come to the door. Just as he was about to argue, Feng Yuchan had already raised his head, put away his smile and pursed his lips and said:

"I'll listen to this. Besides, I'm the county lord. I asked Xiu'er, the county lord is older than the official of Boye."

Liu Renli quickly raised his hand and swallowed all the rest of the words.

"Okay, follow your arrangements, is this OK?"

Feng Yuchan nodded. Liu Renli also told her about Zhu Yunmo and Prince Ning's Mansion. Although she didn't know how tense the relationship was, she could guess some of it when she looked at Zhou Heng and Liu Renli's expressions just now.

"This is almost the same. I will invite my father here later. As for the wedding, it's enough to be simple. We can't live in the Ning Palace. Following the emperor's wishes, we can get the wedding as soon as possible. We can also go back to Tongzhou. Are you worried about this?"

Liu Renli stopped and looked at Feng Yuchan seriously. If you have such a wife, what else can you expect?

"If you do everything, I will listen to you, but call Zhang Huaiyuan first. I want to see the shopkeeper Zhu who was left by Zhou Heng. This person is absolutely versatile and manages Beishan in an orderly manner. He really needs to promote all things in Tongzhou."

Feng Yuchan knew that he could persuade Liu Renli not to go out, so that he would not dare to die of anything.

Therefore, he helped Liu Renli into the room, and then called Zhang Huaiyuan to say what Liu Renli meant, and Zhang Huaiyuan left immediately.

Soon Zhang Huaiyuan quickly came back, following Zhu Sanfu.

When he saw Li, he invited Zhu Sanfu to sit down. Liu Renli looked surprised. After all, Zhou Heng had just left. He knew that Zhu Sanfu was very busy and found him so quickly. Obviously, he was near the government office.

"Thank you for your hard work in Manager Zhu. Are you near the government office?"

Zhu Sanfu smiled and wiped the sweat from his face. The fat man was sweating a lot, and the weather was even more sweaty.

"According to the instructions of the young master, we bought a courtyard in Tongzhou so that the survey personnel and teachers who came from the capital could have a residence. The courtyard was on the east side of the government office, not far away."

Liu Renli thought for a while and asked:

"Zhou Heng was in a hurry to leave just now. I wonder if he had explained to you that during construction here, the road construction needs to be collected. What do you think about this?"

Zhu Sanfu seemed to have guessed that Liu Renli was going to ask this long ago, so he quickly got up and took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Renli.

"I have been in Tongzhou for a few days. I have put down everyone these days and carefully investigated some of the situation in Tongzhou. This is a list of all the gentry in the four counties of Tongzhou. Whether there are any officials in the court, the population, land location, quantity, real estate, etc., all those who can be investigated are clearly counted."

Liu Renli was stunned. He had someone to do these things before. At the beginning, the government office sent someone to investigate, but he saw that the numbers reported did not match. Although it was not surprising that there were differences between the Yellow Books in various places.

But the gentry's family was covered by relatives who were in court and were exempted from tax exemption. In this way, there were many workshops in the false land, which were completely black households, which allowed farmers who had originally had very low income to bear most of the tax burden, which was very unreasonable.

However, he thought it well, and it was very difficult to implement it. After all, no one was willing to offend the local gentry. If an official encounters problems, he could leave or be promoted. However, these gentry have lived here for generations. They are local residents in Tongzhou. If they offend them, they will definitely not have any good results.

I have investigated many times in several months, and the numbers are different every time, but it was finally over. How long has Zhu Sanfu been here? Can he know so accurate?

With many questions, Liu Renli opened the list and looked carefully. The more he looked, his eyes wider and he looked up from time to time, looking up at Zhu Sanfu.

These things are listed in the vegetable garden. Where can I find the rent for a house? These numbers make Liu Renli laugh.

"You took a few days to check it. Is there any error?"

Zhu Sanfu smiled, although he was laughing, but Liu Renli could feel Zhu Sanfu's seriousness.

"Don't worry, Lord Liu, the young master's explanation is naturally not a slight sloppy. I sent nearly a hundred people, all of which were carefully investigated from the surrounding area and measured it personally. It must be more detailed than in the yellow book. I guess these gentry themselves may not know so much.

Of course, the young master means, don’t care about the intentions of the gentry for now. The emperor’s imperial decree has been delivered, and you and the Xianghe County Lord will prepare for the marriage. We will start collecting the land before the autumn harvest. Now, although the surveying and mapping are just beginning, it is correct to save more land.

Only when we move will these gentry keenly discover the problem. You don’t need to say more, just ask them to inquire. The more they cover up the government office, the more they feel that things are big and profitable. When we control a certain amount of land, we will take the initiative in the rest."

Liu Renli thought about it carefully before nodding. Zhu Sanfu is a real person who does things, and his information is extremely credible. After that, the statistics of the Yellow Book can also be based on this. If you trade, you can get a tax burden. It is indeed a big win in one fell swoop.

"Then start the acquisition. I don't participate in how to operate it. I will naturally not see anyone when I am recuperating. I will also give orders to the people in the government office and not disclose anything. As for the content of the imperial edict, I think the words that Eunuch Fang said before leaving will naturally be spread."

Zhu Sanfu smiled and bowed to Liu Renli.

"I haven't congratulated Mr. Liu yet. Nothing is important now. I think everyone can understand. The young man will take his leave first. How will he send someone to inform him whenever he progresses, but he will not come during the day. If there is anything, I will come tonight."

Liu Renli nodded, and Zhu Sanfu stood up and left.

......

The next morning, Zhou Heng had just woken up and stretched his waist and sat up, he found a person standing in front of the bed.
