Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 180 I didn't even get to drink the soup

After a brief exchange of feelings, the group began to clean up the scene.

The boars and bears that had fallen or been killed were first cleared out and placed in a clean place. The bodies of the Qingrong people were burned on the spot. After the Zaoziling area was cleaned up, Ruan Shiping led his men to conduct a carpet search in the vicinity to see if there were any fish that had escaped.

Upon learning that the Qingrong people had been killed and that the soldiers from Xiyu Pass had returned to avenge everyone, the people who had been hiding before came out one after another and joined the army for post-disaster reconstruction.

At Zaoziling, Village Chief Li frowned and looked at the village. "This village has suffered two disasters in the past ten years. I'm afraid the feng shui of the village is not good. Someone died in the village again. It's uncomfortable to live here. Why don't we all choose a new place for our homestead?"

His proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

After a survey by a Feng Shui master, they found that Wudaoling was a very prosperous place. After some consultation, they built a house and settled down there. The original house was demolished and all fruit trees were planted.

Everyone was working hard when Zhou Che and his men arrived late.

"Qingrong people? They were all wiped out by General Ruan and his men from Xiyu Pass!"

The old man who was asked said with a look of pride.

Zhou Che felt relieved and bowed to the person in front of him, "Excuse me, father-in-law, who is the young general Ruan you mentioned? Where are they now?"

The old man immediately showed a look of vigilance, "What do you want to see our young general Ruan for?"

"I am a minister sent by the imperial court to wipe out the Qingrong people. I am only asking General Ruan to understand the situation so that I can report back to the emperor later."

Seeing that the other party was concentrating on hoeing the land and ignored him, Zhou Che thought, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I am not a bad person. I am the elder brother of Mr. Zhou Zhengzhou, the former county magistrate of your Qingshui County. I just want to understand the situation so that I can report back and ask for credit for your young general Ruan."

When the old man heard that the official who was asking him the question was Mr. Zhou's elder brother, he was a little suspicious at first. But after a closer look, he found that their faces were somewhat similar.

"Are you and our Lord Zhou brothers?"

Zhou Che chuckled, "Brothers from the same father and mother!"

"Oh my! They are a family now!" The old man stopped hoeing the ground and put the hoe on his shoulder. "Let's go! I will take you to find General Ruan."

That warm look made Zhou Che feel uncomfortable for a moment.

"Please lead the way, father-in-law!"

"No trouble, no trouble! Since you are our Lord Zhou's elder brother, I think your position should be higher than our Lord Zhou's. When you have time, please speak well of our young General Ruan in front of the emperor. Don't let the bad guys bully him.

"Alas, we ordinary people! We just want a peaceful life. But there are always all kinds of difficulties in life. If we have a good general to keep us safe, we will feel more at ease. In the past, there was a very good General Chi, who helped us escape, raised food for us, and even helped us clear snow on a snowy day... It's a pity that such a good general was killed by the bad guys. Your Excellency, don't you think it's infuriating!"

The old man spoke with indignation.

"I know the General Chi that my father-in-law mentioned. His whole family is the guardian of our Yunqing Country! His murder by a traitor is indeed a loss for all of us!"

The old man was so excited when he heard this, as if he had found a soulmate.

"Yes, yes! Guardian God! The Guardian God of our Yunqing Country! You officials are the ones who know how to talk. I, an old man, always say things that are not right."

Zhou Che smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you are being modest."

The old man saw that Zhou Che had a gentle face and was polite to him, and was as humble as Zhou Zheng, so he immediately started talking.

"Master Zhou, I have something to tell you! Our young General Ruan is still a young man under the age of seventeen! I heard that he has inherited the true teachings of General Chi and is very skilled in martial arts! I heard that he shot those Qingrong bandits to death with just a few shots.

Not only that, the wild boars and bears on the mountain came down to help him get rid of the pests. Mr. Zhou, you didn't see it, those wild boars couldn't even be carried out! I looked from a distance, and the team that was sending wild boars and bears to the county town was endless.

Although he was young, he was very methodical. He sold the old wild boars and bears, and gave the small ones to the soldiers who came back with him, and the big ones to us, the victims, saying that they would be used for post-disaster reconstruction.

Zhou Che frowned. "As you said, father-in-law, there are so many wild boars and bears. It won't be easy to sell them in a short time! How can they be sold for a good price in this county that has just been hit by war?"

The old man's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "When I heard what you said, I knew you were a good official! Not to mention now, even before the disaster, our Qingshui County couldn't eat so many wild animals, not to mention some precious things like bear paws and bear gallbladders. Isn't this something that County Magistrate Fu and several other officials in our county did by using their family connections!"

"What you said makes sense, father-in-law. Several adults in your county are from the capital, and their families have high-ranking officials. It is no problem for them to help sell these things." Zhou Che nodded.

The old man was quite good at chatting, and Zhou Che inadvertently gained a lot of information. He also realized the status of his third brother in the hearts of the people in Lulin area.

They chatted all the way to Zaoziling.

"Look, sir. The tall and strong young man wearing green shorts is our young General Ruan." The old man pointed to Ruan Shiping who was busy and showed him to Zhou Che.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for helping me lead the way! This small token of appreciation is just a token of my respect!" Zhou Che took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to the old man.

"My Lord, I am so sorry for the trouble. I just showed you the way. You don't have to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, please help the elders and villagers of Qingshui County to say a few good words for our young General Ruan in front of the emperor."

After the old man finished speaking, he waved to Zhou Che and left.

Ruan Shiping, who was helping to build a house, only realized after everyone reminded him that a high-ranking official had come to the village.

Ruan Shiping hurried forward to greet him and asked him why he had come.

When they heard that they were sent by the Emperor to wipe out the Qingrong people, everyone's faces looked a little strange.

Especially Shen Zhizui and Zhang Qiuming, if the occasion was not inappropriate, they would have laughed out loud.

This is the most famous genius of Yunqing Country!

It took so long to clear out the enemy, not to mention eating meat, we didn't even get to drink soup! The land in Zaoziling had been shoveled several layers, and everyone was now helping the villagers prepare to build houses and discuss road construction!

Because the entire village moved inward, the previous path was fine for people to pass by when working, but it was too narrow to connect it to the county town.

Didn’t Miss Ruan say that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads! And this road must be built wider.
