Yun Miaomiao's plan to buy land was like a gust of wind, passing through the entire village and reaching everyone's ears.
"I heard that County Magistrate Zhao is now living in the Yun family." Aunt Qiao said in a lively tone, "Isn't this Yun family a guilty person? Why is this County Magistrate Zhao not afraid of death and still rushing up?"
"I heard that County Magistrate Zhao is a widower. I'm afraid he has fallen in love with that girl Yun Miaomiao."
"That might mean it, otherwise how could the Yun family be so capable of living in such a nice house? It's a red brick house that I've never seen before. It's so grand. Even the county magistrate can't live in such a nice house."
"No way. Magistrate Zhao is old enough to be Yun Miaomiao's father. Are you wrong?" Aunt Wu specifically argued.
Aunt Qiao looked like you didn't understand, "Aunt Wu, you don't know this. Old and young couples only love each other when they are old. What's so strange about this."
"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Yun is not that kind of person." Aunt Wu glared at the gossiping Aunt Qiao.
Aunt Lin couldn't stand Yun Miaomiao for a long time, "Who knows if people's hearts are separated from each other."
"That's right, otherwise where does the Yun family's money come from? It can't be earned by oneself. Then we have to look at the current situation. Is it so easy to make money? If it were so easy, the big guys wouldn't do it.
As for digging wild vegetables now."
"Besides, now that the Yun family is building a house and buying land, everyone knows that the money was given by County Magistrate Zhao, don't you think so?"
"It's true, everyone can see it."
Many people also agreed. Seeing that she couldn't quarrel with them, Aunt Wu could only get up and leave in depression.
Yun Miaomiao and Jiang Lizheng worked hard for several hours, and finally measured out the land. It was exactly two hundred acres, and the money was well spent.
After paying the money and writing the receipt, the matter was settled. Jiang Li was looking at his bulging wallet and went back with satisfaction.
When Yun Miaomiao returned home, she gave the land deed to Yun's father and called for Magistrate Zhao.
"Yun Su said you were looking for me?" Magistrate Zhao came out shortly after, looking at Yun Miaomiao with expectant eyes.
Yun Miaomiao met the expectant eyes and shook her head helplessly, "Master Zhao, I came to you because I have something to tell you."
"It's a tax matter, do you have any ideas?"
Yun Miaomiao, "..."
Well, apart from this matter, I really have nothing else to do with which I can talk to Magistrate Zhao.
"Yes." She nodded, "People outside today reported that black pimples were dug up in the village. You have heard about it, right?"
"Well, I heard something from those people walking back and forth. This black lump is poisonous and poisoned all the dogs in the Li Zheng family. Does this have anything to do with taxation?"
"Of course." Yun Miaomiao took out a small paper bag from her waist and opened it to find a small amount of coal.
"This is the black lump dug out." Yun Miaomiao pointed to the black thing on the table, "Actually, this thing is not called black lump. It has a name, called coal."
"coal?"
Several people repeated it in unison.
Gu Fengqing was the first to respond, "Does this thing have any magical uses?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "This thing, like firewood, can be used to make fires and keep warm. However, this thing itself is also poisonous. If used improperly, it will indeed kill people. This thing has advantages and disadvantages. If you use it properly,
, it can be said that it will save a lot of things in many aspects.”
"But didn't you say this thing is poisonous?" Magistrate Zhao's face, which was shining just now, suddenly turned gloomy. "How could anyone use this poisonous thing?"
"This thing is more durable than firewood. It only takes two small pieces and can burn for a whole night. You said that if this thing is ready and shipped to those cold places in the north for sale, won't the money be less? Besides, every winter
, How many people in the north will freeze to death? Your Majesty has a headache every year because of this problem. You have solved the problem for His Majesty. Wouldn’t the Emperor be grateful to you?"
"Although it is poisonous, as long as you pay attention to ventilation when using it, you will not be poisoned. Moreover, the coal produced in a special process will not kill people when burned. I observed it, and in Xiaotupo, counting
There are about 150 acres of land. If you write a note and hand it in, I think the Holy Spirit will be grateful for your contribution and will take care of the taxation issue."
"Are you sure this method is feasible?" Magistrate Zhao was a little moved.
Yun Miaomiao said with certainty, "Of course, later on, I will write down the specific detailed method and usage process. You can find someone to dig two baskets of coal back, and then look at the land. Don't let anyone
Come closer, wait until you have tried it, and then deliver the coal and the fold to the capital. Whether it works or not, this is the only way we can do it, isn't it?"
Yes, they can't get food in their hands, so this is the only way.
County Magistrate Zhao gritted his teeth and ordered his attendants to dig coal. Gu Fengqing also wanted to see what was going on, so he set off with his attendants. When they came back, both of them were carrying a full load of bamboo.
When I came back with the basket of coal, my clean clothes were all dirty.
Yun Miaomiao took advantage of the darkness to mix the coal into a clay-like form, then rolled it on the coal mud with a coal mold she bought from the mall, and piled the briquettes into shapes in the yard.
After all the briquettes were finished, Yun Miaomiao wiped the sweat from her forehead. Just as she was about to ask someone to cut off the water, she saw a pair of big white hands reaching out in front of her and handed her a glass of water.
"You're thirsty, come and have a drink of water." Gu Fengqing's eyes were a bit soft, "I want to help you, but if you don't let me, you will be exhausted by now."
Yun Miaomiao drank the water and took a deep breath, "It's okay. There aren't many things here. You are in good shape and can't do such heavy work. When I went to carry coal, I was worried about whether it would be too heavy. Fortunately,
It's not far, otherwise my dad would have to worry about me."
"Haha, I'm not that delicate. You don't have to give in to me everywhere." Gu Fengqing was also depressed. Apart from knowing that her name was Gu Fengqing, she had no idea about her identity or purpose.
Father Yun's attitude towards him couldn't be better. Not to mention that Yun Miaomiao thought he was Father Yun's illegitimate son, and he almost thought so himself.
Yun Miaomiao didn't dare to let him work. If he hadn't gone by himself just now, Yun's father wouldn't have been able to stop him. How could Gu Fengqing do such heavy work? If it were him, Yun's father probably wouldn't even look at it.
.
"Okay, just think of yourself as a weakling and just do the work of serving tea and pouring water. Let me, a rough man, do such heavy work."
Yun Miaomiao was extremely depressed. They said that a daughter is a treasure, but to her father, a daughter is just a piece of grass.
Gu Fengqing, Gu Fengqing, how come you, a famous flower in the capital, came to her house to be a delicate indoor flower?
