Village Chief Li's hand slipped and the bowl almost fell to the ground. He stammered, "From the Yuan Qing family, you...don't lie to me. Your Majesty... Your Majesty really wants to give us the village."

Grant a name? Build a town?"

Aunt Li slapped her thigh, beaming with joy and grinning from ear to ear, "Oh my god, I never thought that my old wife would encounter such a good thing in this life. Oh my, I can live in a village named after the emperor."

Although Zhou Cuihua was excited, she was quite shrewd and stared at both sides of the official road. "Yuan Qing family, when you asked us to come, did you want to talk about how to build the town? Do you want us to buy the places on both sides of the official road in advance?

?If we can buy land to build a shop and our family sells braised pork, we won’t have to go to Baisha Town. That place is too far away!”

Hearing Zhou Cuihua's words, Liu Paner's eyes showed approval, "Auntie is right, we want to buy land on both sides of the official road. How to buy it? We need to think about it carefully."

Village Chief Li nodded, "Yes, there are many families in our village who have a lot of money, and there are also a lot of people who have little money, but every family can afford to buy the foundation of a shop. Your family and I can buy a lot, but we don't necessarily

We can build so many shops to do business, so we have to limit the number."

Zhou Cuihua shook her head, "Yes, the quantity is limited. Every household in our village has to buy it. If the people in Lijia Village don't buy it, people from other villages may come to buy it. It's better to let the people in our village who can afford it buy more first, and then

Build a good shop. Whether it’s opening a shop or renting it out, at least it’s in our hands.”

Liu Pan'er thought it made sense, and felt that Zhou Cuihua had a far-sighted view, "However, it is okay to buy, but the shop must be built within a specified time, otherwise it will be taken back. In this way, the shop can be built as quickly as possible and become a

A small town worthy of its name.”

Village Chief Li nodded, "That makes sense. From the Yuan Qing family, your majesty gives you such a reward, and there is also a lot of money for selling sweet potatoes and rice. You can buy more. If you have strength, it is better than being bought by other villages or outsiders.

Taking advantage of our village."

"Okay, we have started to do this recently. Those who build houses in the village will first build a few rooms that are enough to live in, and the remaining money will be used to sell the land." Liu Pan'er agreed, and she went to buy more first.

Some.

In addition, she felt that the town should plan various areas to facilitate management.

At the same time, Emperor Zhou Ping received letters from Gu Shao, Liang Bao, Zhao Qingming, the Agriculture Department, and those stubborn old men in the capital, confirming that the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes was high, and there was no falsehood.

Immediately, Emperor Ping of Zhou named Lijiacun Jixiang Village and built a small town called Jixiang Town in the surrounding area.

As a person who contributed auspicious things, Liu Pan'er was personally named the mayor of Jixiang Town by His Majesty. Although she was not the first female mayor in the Zhou Dynasty, she was the first female mayor personally named by His Majesty.

The imperial envoy Gu Shao, Eunuch Liang, and the adults in the capital were about to return to the capital. Before leaving, Gu Shao came in person with his guards.

When leaving, leave a horse behind.

Imperial Envoy Gu Shao looked at Liu Pan'er and said, "Mrs. De Rui, I said I wanted to thank you before. You must like this thank you gift very much, right?"

Liu Pan'er looked at the tall black horse in front of her. There was a brand new saddle on the horse's back, and there was a red blanket on it. It was obvious that this was a saddle specially prepared for women.

Liu Pan'er looked happy. She had money in her hands and had always wanted to buy a horse to make it easier to travel in the future.

But in time to harvest sweet potatoes, potatoes and rice, there was no time to go to the county seat.

Now seeing a horse given to her by Gu Shao, Liu Pan'er liked it very much, "Mr. Gu, you have given me a lot of thank you gifts before. This time I will give you money to buy this horse, okay?"

Gu Shao smiled, then walked to the side of the county horse and said to Liu Pan'er across the horse's back: "I resold the white jade ointment prescription that Mrs. Derui sold to me for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Hearing this, Liu Pan'er was stunned, and her big eyes widened.

Although it was Gu Shao's skill to sell white jade ointment prescriptions, when she thought of having hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, she could accept the horse with peace of mind.

Liu Pan'er smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Gu. Since Mr. Gu used such a reason to send a thank you gift, then I would rather obey your orders and accept it!"

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can buy countless horses, and Liu Pan'er received the thank-you gifts without any psychological burden.

Gu Shao could see his figure in Liu Paner's bright black pupils.

After today, maybe he won't appear in her dark eyes.

When Gu Shao saw Liu Pan'er's bright smile, he knew that the gift he gave was exactly what Liu Pan'er had in mind.

"Tomorrow we will set off back to the capital. If anything happens in the future, you can ask someone to go directly to Gu's house in the county and ask for Gu Gu's housekeeper. He will handle it properly."

Liu Pan'er thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for taking care of me!"

Li Xiaobao, who was not far away, saw his mother talking and laughing with Mr. Gu. He pondered for a moment and pushed Li Nan, the chubby girl next to him, and said, "Nan, I just said that you ate too much at noon, and now your stomach is screaming and hurting."

, rolling on the ground to trick my mother back."

Li Nan scratched his head, patted his bulging belly, and replied charmingly: "My belly doesn't hurt! My brother is so bad that he actually wants to lie to my mother!"

Li Xiaobao rolled his eyes, thinking that his sister was stupid, "You have been looking after me, talking to my mother all the time, and talking and laughing. If Master Gu takes my mother away and becomes his wife, then we will have no mother."

In Li Xiaobao's eyes, his mother is beautiful and powerful. Someone like Mr. Gu is barely worthy of his mother, but his father is still fighting in the northwest! How can other men be allowed to covet his mother?

"Ah?" Li Nan looked at the handsome Mr. Gu, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Gu is so good-looking, and my mother is also good-looking, and she loves us. My mother really wants to marry Mr. Gu, and we four brothers and sisters

Marry her too, so that you can continue to have a mother!"

Li Xiaobao stretched out his finger and tapped his sister's forehead vigorously, "You stupid girl, you only care about Mr. Gu's good looks. Don't you think that our father is still fighting in the northwest? When father comes back and mother is gone, we

How do you explain it to daddy?"

Li Nan sighed, "Brother, I have forgotten what dad looks like! I don't know when dad will come back? What if dad doesn't come back, then are you still stopping my mother from remarrying?"

Li Xiaobao was stunned. Although he was very smart, he didn't understand adults' matters.

Li Rong listened to the conversation between her younger brother and sister and couldn't help but laugh or cry, but what brother Xiaobao said made some sense.

"Xiaobao, Nan can't pretend to be different, so you better pretend!" Li Rong still remembers Li Yuanqing's appearance and knows that his father loves them, so he resolutely defends his father.

Li Xiaobao glared at Li Nan, this sister is quite stupid!

Li Xiaobao squatted down and held his stomach, deliberately not breathing, and suppressing his blush, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much..."

Li Rong also exclaimed and followed suit, "Xiaobao, what's wrong with you? Okay, why do you have a stomachache?"

Liu Pan'er was startled when she heard the children's voices. Now that the temperature difference between morning and night has become larger, it is a bit cold especially at night. She is worried that her children will get sick if they kick under the quilt and get cold at night.
