Chapter 343 Lot
Ren Ning didn't return to the Dachun Valley camp until the sun went down.

Lei Er happily rushed over.

"General, three thousand diving suits and fifty kayaks have arrived. The quantity is complete and the quality is intact."

After speaking, he took out another piece of paper, "This is the news that General Wei just sent."

Just now he was about to be sent to Nanshan, but Ren Ning came down.

"Another message from General Wei?" Ren Ning opened it and saw that there was only one sentence in pinyin on it.

The affairs of Cangshan County in Laigu have been completed.

"Cangshan County is the hometown of Niu Shusheng in Jingangzhai." Lei Er was curious, "The general just finished his work there?"

Ren Ning nodded, "We passed Laigu Cangshan County when we went to Xiliang, and we promised Niu Shusheng to give them the land..."

Lei Er was also aware of the Cangshan County incident, and Ren Ning did not hide it.

hiss!
Lei Er gasped and looked at Ren Ning strangely.

"That's a county. You let your sister-in-law buy them all?"

Ren Ning was very calm, "It's just a small county on the side of a mountain in an inferior county. It doesn't have much land, and it doesn't cost much."

"If you have the money to spare, you may be able to buy it," he added.

"No. I don't have that much money." Lei Er shook his head quickly.

He reacted quickly.

A small county is nothing.

The few of them have now bought almost the entire land of Guangxin County.

Whether it was the rubber business or the wealth of the Principality of Langston, Lei Er also shared a lot of money.

If he really wanted to buy it, he should be able to afford it if he tried his best to scrape together and borrow some more.

Laigu County, Cangshan County, the gate of the city.

The three floors below the bulletin board and the three floors outside were crowded with onlookers.

Niu Shusheng was among them.

He took a few brothers down the mountain to sell some mountain goods and purchase some daily necessities.

While it was still early, he greeted his brother and was about to set off to go back.

After all, Jingangzhai is located deep in the Luoxia Mountains. Without a good horse to travel, it would take two or three days to go back and forth.

However, the group of people stopped at the gate of the city by some mysterious coincidence.

"Who can read? Quickly tell me what is written in the county master's notice?"

"I don't know."

"You can't read characters, so why squeeze!"

"The master must be able to read, is there a master?"

……

Amid the commotion, an old voice sounded.

"Fathers, folks, brothers and sisters, the youngest old man's surname is Chai and his name is Zhengcheng. He used to be a wife from Shannan County next door, but now he is the teacher of the new county magistrate in this county."

"Now, under the order of the county magistrate, I am here to tell you the content of the announcement. Please rest assured that what is written on it is a good thing related to your future."

wow~
The encirclement circle in front of the bulletin board suddenly became a little bigger.

Everyone's face turned cold, and they silently looked at Chai Zhengcheng who was smiling under the bulletin board.

"It's really a declining world, and people's hearts are not old." Someone in the crowd whispered, "Even the master who preaches and teaches karma has become the lackey of the county magistrate..."

"Yes. Who are you kidding! Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, so can the magistrate do shit?"

"Yes, don't waste time, let's go back to work."

"Don't go. There are so many of us, what are you afraid of? Just stay and listen to what the new county master has to say."

……

Amid all the commotion, Chai Zhengcheng stroked his silver beard indifferently.

He was not at all surprised by the reaction of the people.

As mentioned earlier, Chai Zhengcheng was originally an old master in the neighboring Shannan County.

Two years ago, civil unrest broke out in the four counties in the west, and Laigu was the most serious. It can be said that there was chaos everywhere.

At that time, General Huo Zheng, the Duke of the old town, died of the epidemic in Yanfeng Fortress, and when the coffin was transported eastward, it was directly blocked by the rebel army in Shannan County.

Although the town government's mansion is quite prestigious in several nearby counties, it's not that no mob and starving people have tried to attack the old town government coffin.

Fortunately, the coffin was always preserved, and the old country finally returned to its hometown safely.

Among them, the greatest contribution is naturally the soldiers who desperately protected the spirit, and he, Chai Zhengcheng, also contributed a lot of strength.

As one of the few masters in the county, Chai Zhengcheng has always been prestigious, and there are still people who can listen to what he says.

Time flies like a white horse, and more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chai Zhengcheng originally thought that this experience would only fade with time, and eventually become a memory brought to the coffin.

Unexpectedly, in mid-February, the town government suddenly sent someone to find him, hoping that Chai Zhengcheng could do something for him.

Originally, Chai Zhengcheng was going to refuse.

He is a master, and his only wish in this life is to teach a Jinshi from Laigu County.

I hope that the other party can return to work after finishing his studies, and do some practical things for the suffering people in Laigu.

However, the west is bitterly cold, and there are not many children who can afford to go to school, let alone teachers.

Moreover, the big shots in Xingji City pay more attention to the rich counties and counties in the east, and even their students give priority to those born in the east coast.

Therefore, even though Chai Zhengcheng was gray-haired, none of his disciples could really do anything, let alone come back to serve his hometown.

But he was not discouraged, and he was ready to continue teaching like this until the day when he couldn't teach.

However, after reading the documents handed over by the Duke of Zhen, Chai Zhengcheng was refreshed.

After asking about the situation, he resolutely agreed, and even his wife didn't plan to do it again.

"Equally distribute the land to the people, and exempt three-year rent. Establish a common people's school, and learn literature and literacy for free..."

He, Chai Zhengcheng, was trembling with excitement.

He has taught all his life, doesn't he hope that his students can speak and do things for the fathers and villagers at home after they finish their studies?

Now as long as I stand up by myself, part of this wish will be fulfilled.

"Fathers and folks, please be quiet first."

Chai Zhengcheng tapped on the bulletin board.

"There are a lot of words in the announcement, so the old man simply summed it up into a few points. Everyone listens carefully, and I will ask any questions later. The old man knows everything."

The surroundings quickly fell silent.

Chai Zhengcheng nodded in satisfaction.

"First, when the imperial court pacified Laigu County two years ago, it said that the land would be distributed for everyone to cultivate. After the early rice harvest of this season is finished, the land distribution will officially begin."

hum~
All around suddenly exploded.

Most of the people are full of suspicion.

"real or fake?"

"You lied to us once two years ago, and now you want to lie to us again?"

"That's right. It can't be true, it's absolutely impossible. Officials can still spit out what they eat?"

……

But there are also those who are skeptical.

"If it's true, who owns the rice in the field now?"

Chai Zhengcheng pressed his hands.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him eagerly.

"Everyone knows the town government's mansion, right?"

"Nonsense." Someone couldn't help but say, "Who doesn't know about the Huo clan guarding Yanfeng Fortress? Their clan members pass by here every year, and when they see injustice, they will help us."

"That's right." Chai Zhengcheng nodded, "Dignified Duke, that is the biggest official besides the royal family. Those corrupt officials who swallowed our Laigu land into their stomachs are nothing but farts in front of them."

"Two years ago, the Duke of the old town passed away unfortunately in Yanzhen Fortress. When the coffin passed by our messy Lai Valley, he was stopped by the rioters. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

The people around looked at each other and looked at each other with embarrassing expressions.

As the saying goes, the dead are the most important. Intercepting someone's coffin is a shameful thing to be stabbed in the back, let alone the old Zhen Guogong who has always been admired by the people along the way?

"Everyone, don't think about it. It was the mob who intercepted the coffin of the old Duke, not us ordinary people. On the contrary, many of us came forward to protect the coffin of the old Duke from the hands of the mob."

Chai Zhengcheng cupped his hands towards the northeast.

"The Duke of Zhen's government is keenly aware of this. After two years, they finally obtained His Majesty's consent. Therefore, the agreement to divide the land equally was finally confirmed."

hum~
The eyes of the people around couldn't help but brighten a little.

"Since the government of Zhen Guo came forward, let's believe it again. How will the land be divided? Do you want to rent something?"

Chai Zhengcheng patted the bulletin board again.

"That's what I'm going to say come down old man."
