Chapter 1862 Stop and fight 20
Of course, she was not dazed for the "gentle, gentle, quiet and dignified" person, although she knew that the owner was not such a person, but the one who was later "specially canonized as the Lord of Yong'an County, with an estate of 2,000 households." There are even fiefdoms. Black Tiger Mountain, including a nearby county, has become a fiefdom.
Once you become a fief, you can designate additional local taxes by yourself, as long as it is not a tyranny to make money and make the people miserable.
This means that in the future, if Black Tiger Mountain goes out to rob, it should be legal, reasonable and legal. This mountain is mine, and this tree is mine. If you think about it, just leave the money to buy the road.
The eunuchs who came to announce the decree were full of smiles: "Congratulations to the county lord, congratulations to the county lord, please accept the decree."
Xining came to his senses, quickly thanked him, and accepted the imperial edict.
Seeing Aunt Jiang stuffing a purse containing gold ingots into the eunuch's hands at a very fast speed again, I thought about keeping her. In the whole house, she was the most proficient in stuffing money, reaching the level of proficiency. . If it were changed to someone else...
Even if Taohong only knows how to rob, it would be enough to let her steal money, but there is no such thing as stuffing money. It can even be imagined that Taohong quickly stuffed the purse, but reflexively squeezed the purse tightly. The scene must be very funny.
The eunuch who delivered the order said a few auspicious words and went back to the palace to follow up the order without stopping to rest.
This time, Uncle He, who came with her as the housekeeper, suggested that she enshrine the imperial edict in the ancestral hall.
When he arrived at a separate small house, Xining discovered that the house also had a small ancestral hall.
Family ancestral halls, even in villages, are full of memorial tablets, but there are only two of them here.
Seeing that the melon and fruit candlesticks on the front desk contained a lot of incense, Xi Ning felt that it was a bit wasteful. Looking at the card tablets again, one reads "The Master of Zhao Village of Black Tiger Village" and the other reads "The wife of the Master of Zhao Village of Black Tiger Village".
Xining... This is too childish, it doesn't even have a name.
Think about it again, the brothers in Black Tiger Village, regardless of gender, except for dolls, as long as they are over fifteen years old, do not have real names. What about Zhao Erlang, Aunt Qian, Uncle Sun, Aunt Li... the military advisor and the four heads of the family, as well as many stewards and bosses, even their last names are hidden.
No matter how perfunctory the memorial tablet is, it is still a tablet, and it can be regarded as enjoying the incense.
After wrapping the imperial edict in silk cloth and placing it on the altar for worship, Xi Ning led everyone to kowtow three times.
Uncle He wiped his tears: "Old village leader, have you seen that your daughter has met the official family, met the queen mother, and now she has become the county head. She will definitely be well in the future and she will be able to redress your grievances."
To redress the injustice, to redress what injustice? Looking at Uncle He who was in tears, he was even more angry and funny. A bandit leader, what kind of injustice could he have?
Anyway, she had already seen that this Black Tiger Village was not ordinary, and the owner's life experience was also extraordinary. The emperor and the queen mother should also know that, so they gave so many rewards. This means that Black Tiger Village is now completely cleansed, and the owner has saved his life; that means that the mission should be completed? So should she go back?
Haha, this mission was completed quickly, which is good.
Mo Ming: “It’s bonus points from the beginning, so work hard!”
Xining..., what do you mean, when will it be over?
Mo Ming: "The better the outcome of the body master in the future, the more points will be rewarded. Aren't you always complaining that you can't have a good rest? Isn't it good to be an idle county master and a hands-off village master now?"
Yes, but what should be done to ensure a good ending for the body owner? Even if she marries Mu Hanqing and becomes Madam Hou in the future, Mu Hanqing will not like her even if she is such a heartless person.
How about finding another lover and a suitable husband?
Mo Ming: "You can make up your own mind." After paying homage to the ancestral hall, he returned to the house, leaning on his storybook and eating the snacks his second aunt had just made.
After a while, the room became lively. Uncle He picked out a few belongings given by the Queen Mother and came over to replace the original items. For example, this mahogany furniture needs to be wiped frequently to make it brighter. It is better to use it in the room than in the warehouse.
There are also some fabrics that may become discolored and become brittle after being stored for a few years, so you should use them as soon as possible, as using them can prolong their life.
So all the maids in the house helped and got busy.
Xining held the book, glanced sideways for a few times, and slowly put it down: "Uncle He~"
Hearing the call, Uncle He, who was holding the account book, came over: "County Master, what's the matter?"
I just changed it to a new title. In fact, calling me village leader is quite good. There are many county heads, but if you look at the female village head, how many can there be?
Xining pursed his lips slightly: "You should use these things. What did Uncle He do before Black Tiger Village? He seems to be very familiar with these."
Those fabrics are all precious brocades and satins gifted by the Queen Mother. Unless you are familiar with fabrics, you won't be able to choose them so accurately. If it were someone else, Liu Lu would definitely use the kind that looks good first. Of course, good-looking fabrics should be used. Who can see it when it is placed in the warehouse? And peach red is the one that looks cheap. Use it first. If the cheap one wears out, use the expensive one later.
Uncle He responded with a smile: "Of course I am a housekeeper, but a housekeeper for a small family. I have also helped under a housekeeper for a big family before. There are many merchants passing through Heihu Village, and the goods often have high-quality goods, so I will take more of them." Otherwise, after more than ten years, even if I had seen it before, I would have forgotten it.”
It makes sense and is impeccable. Uncle He looked to be in his late sixties, with a plain appearance, a short stature, a round figure, and his hair and beard were already white. There was always a smile on his plump face, but for the people below, he put away his smile and added a bit of dignity. If he were ten years younger, he would look like a housekeeper everywhere.
But did she ask anything? She just asked what she had done before, but the answer completely followed what she was thinking and was very logical. If you ask again, you have to ask which big family made it before, which is almost like a cross-examination.
So for such an answer, I will basically stop asking and stop asking.
Xining smiled and said, "Go and do your work." Then he continued reading.
Black Tiger Village is different from other places. No one has a bond of prostitution and is free. Being able to work as a warehouse manager in Black Tiger Village, and then following him here as a housekeeper, is not a fuel-saving lamp.
After everything was properly placed, the gilt incense cage was placed in the center of the room. After adding some charcoal fire, two spoonfuls of spices were poured into it. After a while, the fragrance slowly leaked out from the hollow patterns of the cage, and the whole room was filled with the delicious fragrance.
Xi Ning took a sniff and found that it was sandalwood. It had a calm and heavy smell. It was the best sandalwood gifted by the Queen Mother. There was no messy stuff added to it.
The palace is the place with the most tricks. In order to prevent the concubines from becoming pregnant with dragon seeds, they can secretly tamper with the food or add musk to the spices.
The Queen Mother rewarded so many things this time, even Gong Tong was rewarded, but there was almost nothing to eat.
At this time, the second aunt came in carrying a food box: "County Master, I brought the snacks given by the Queen Mother. You can try them."
Okay, it's all set.
