Transmigration: To Be His Man-Chapter 206 Seclusion Field
Soon it was the old man's turn.
When Qin Mian saw his two sons ru
ing over eagerly, he raised his eyebrows.
Lei Ruilin held his hands behind his back and shook his head, saying, "Father, we are here to help Old Grandfather Chen Qian draw lots. There are six people in the family of the old grandpa. "
Qin Mian glanced at the old man, who smiled and nodded. Only then did he signal to his two sons that they could make a move.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin had a tacit understanding. Qin Ruiqi grabbed a ball of paper from the red cloth box, and Lei Ruilin took out six balls of paper from the blue cloth box.
Qin Mian opened the ball of paper and read: "Chen Yu, house, first row, third house in the west; field, first row, fifth field in the east, first field in the south, second row, first field in the south... The ninth plot of land in the first row to the east. "
The commoners all looked at Chen Yu with envy. These six plots of land were all located in the first and second rows, and were very close to the lake. It would be very convenient to irrigate them in the future.
Chen Yu was also very happy. He laughed out loud and said, "Many thanks, Young Gongzi."
Everyone else felt that the two young masters from the County Magistrate were lucky, and all asked Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin to draw lots for them. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin excitedly helped dozens of people. The location of the houses and fields were indeed not bad. However, the two little fellows soon lost interest. They apologized and scurried away.
It was unknown who said that a child's luck was better than an adult's. The people who were behind all had their children come forward to draw lots. In an instant, the training field became even more lively.
In order to win over the hearts of the people, in the morning, Qin Mian, Lei Tia and the Prefect Cai would personally take charge. In the afternoon, Qin Mian gave the work to Lei Qinzhong and the others to do.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought the two children back home to settle down. The bamboo house had a total of two floors. Below them were the kitchen, the hall, Qin Ruiqi's and Lei Ruilin's study, Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's study, and above them Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's rooms, as well as Qin Ruiqi's and Lei Tia's room. However, due to the conditions, the furnishings inside could not be compared to before.
By the end of the day, all the people were given houses and fields. The people were eager to move into their new homes. They lit torches and moved. The dark county was lit up with torches.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia had been busy the whole day, and only after taking a bath and lying down on the bed did they finally have time to rest.
"Tired?" Lei Tia pulled the person beside him into his embrace.
Qin Mian's chin nodded on his shoulder, "I'm more tired than before." As a cultivator, the recent labor intensity was nothing, but compared to his previous life, these few months were indeed the most tiring, but undeniably, it was also very substantial.
Lei Tia's hand slowly probed into his pajamas. The two had only moved a few times when the bamboo bed creaked and it shook the entire bamboo house. The two of them were stu
ed.
Lei Ruilin's childish voice sounded from the other side, "Father, Father, are you still awake? My brother and I are still awake. "
Qin Mian lied down on top of Lei Tia's body, burying his face in Lei Tia's chest and laughing out loud.
"I shouldn't have chosen the bamboo house." Lei Tia said in a low voice, "The sound isolation effect is not good."
Qin Mian laughed, "Ruiqi, Ruilin, quickly go to sleep, your father and I are going to sleep now."
Lei Tia cast a soundproofing spirit art and pulled his into his embrace ??
It did not mean that Tian He Fang's business would be finished if he were to be assigned to the commoners. Qin Mian recruited a few honest and nimble young men to serve in the county as yamen ru
ers, and had them be brought along by Lei Qinzhong to the fields to test their strength. If a certain family member was unlucky, most or all of the land allocated to them would be sown last, and the county would give them a portion of the silver to compensate them.
In addition, Qin Mian also asked for help from Lei Tia to borrow a few people who were good at hunting, and started a hunting training course in the town to teach people how to hunt, so that those who were not well off could subsidize their families. Anyway, let's get through this winter.
Because everyone was busy making a living, there were almost no criminal activities in the county. Qin Mian, the County Magistrate, worked quite easily.
He and Lei Tia even made a few trips outside the mountain to "buy" some good things for their two sons, so that their rooms could be properly arranged.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year.
This year, most of the citizens of Kui County lived a clear and bitter life. Although Qin Mian's family had that condition, and it was not good to attract attention. On New Year's Eve, they only cooked two meat dishes and two vegetables in total, which made four dishes in total, but they were very heavy. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
On the first day of the new year, he went out to pay his respects. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin received much fewer red envelopes than in the past year. These red envelopes were all given to them by the commoners, and were almost all filled with money. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were very sensible, and did not want to accept it at first, but everyone thought that it would not be good to push the good fortune out into the open, so they gave it to them, and they could only accept it.
As long as they were under sixteen years old, they would all be given a red envelope worth twenty grams of money in the name of and him.
The first month gradually passed under a bitter yet lively atmosphere.
At the begi
ing of March, the earth had returned to spring. The people took the time to plow the fields and prepare to grow spring wheat and other crops.
Qin Mian also began to develop his Kui County to their next step. Currently, there were only rows and rows of houses and farmlands in Kui County. There wasn't even a tree in the county, so there wasn't the slightest hint of beauty. Qin Mian called for the rest of the labourers to follow him up the mountain and dig out some wild flowers and fruit trees. They were planted in every corner of the town in a pla
ed ma
er, such as the pea-beak flower, the welcoming spring flower, the mountain red, the juniper grass, the rhododendron, the rose, the sagebrush, the wild date tree, the wild peach tree, the wild pear tree, the wild apple tree, the wild grape tree, and so on.
Qin Mian didn't plan to stay too long in Kui County, so he didn't spend too much time and effort on his own bamboo house. He only planted two fruit trees in front of his door and several pots of flowers on the balcony on the second floor.
Not wanting to treat his two sons unfairly, Qin Mian would occasionally take out some fruits and vegetables from his spatial storage. When Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin first saw him, they would ask him what was going on. In fact, the two children had long suspected that the "martial arts" they were practising was not an i
er force type of martial arts. However, since the two fathers wanted to hide it from them, there must be a reason behind it.
On the other hand, the road was being built. Lei Tia sent five thousand people to find the limestone within a radius of twenty miles. After bringing it back, Qin Mian made a simplified version of the cement. The strength of the cement was not as strong as concrete, but it was more than enough to repair roads.
It was July.
With a broad and flat road, it was much easier for the citizens of Kui County to enter and leave the city. The development of agriculture and commerce was accelerating.
Everyone could see that their lives were getting better and better.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia sent a recital of their third request to the capital, but there was still no reply.
Qin Mian began to become anxious.
"Tia, Chen Guang couldn't be wanting to go back on his words, right? What's the point in forcing us to stay here? "
Chen Guang was the name of the Emperor Xiao Hui, but normally no one dared to call him by name.
Lei Tia had already pla
ed this beforehand and comforted her, "My wife, wait another half a month. If there's still no results after half a month, we will a
ounce the deal we made with him."
"Good idea." Qin Mian agreed without hesitation. They can't do anything to an emperor directly, but they can use the power of public opinion.
Just then, a soldier shouted anxiously from outside: "Great General, Lord Qin! This little one has urgent matters to meet! "
Qin Mian and Lei Tia looked at each other in doubt and went downstairs together. The situation of the entire county was in the hands of these two. What could possibly be called 'urgent'?
"What is it?"
The soldier anxiously replied: "Reporting to Great General, Prefect Cai has sent someone to deliver the message that His Holiness has arrived, ordering Great General and Sir Qin to immediately prepare to welcome you!"
The Emperor Xiao Hui is here? Qin Mian was very shocked as he whispered to Lei Tia, "This place is not close to the capital, he sure has guts."
"My wife, it won't be long before we can return to the Qingshan Village." Lei Tia said with certainty.
"Oh?" Qin Mian did not ask him why in such a hurry.
The two of them changed into their official uniform and immediately performed their "qinggong". They respectively went to the county magistrate and the barracks, and brought all the yamen ru
ers and soldiers to the county town entrance in preparation of welcoming the guests.
After waiting for nearly two hours, he saw a long line getting closer and closer in the distance. The emperor's unique golden canopy shined in the sunlight. The Emperor Xiao Hui was dressed in royal yellow robes and sat on the large throne. He casually sized up the scenery on both sides of the road. The imposing imperial guard army was protecting the emperor's carriage in the middle, his sharp eyes constantly sca
ing left and right vigilantly.
When the Saint arrived in front of them, Qin Mian and Lei Tia both kneeled down to pay their respects.
"This humble subject welcomes Your Majesty. Long live and long live our Emperor!"
Emperor Xiao Hui looked at the two of them and did not say anything for a long time. Just by looking at this path out of the mountain, he could already predict that Qin Mian and Lei Tia's Kui County reconstruction was not an exaggeration. Because of this, he was even more unwilling to let off these two outstanding talents. But he understood in the bottom of his heart that he wouldn't be able to keep Qin Mian and Lei Tia here this time. It wasn't that he didn't have any methods he could use, but he had a premonition that if he really used a dark method to deal with them, it would only lead Qin Mian to be enemies with him. It would be better to just let them go happily, just in case the imperial family met with another troublesome matter in the future and use them again.
After thinking it through, Emperor Xiao Hui took a deep breath and said warmly: "My two beloved officials, quickly rise."
"Thank you, your majesty!"
Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood up and retreated to the side for orders.
Emperor Xiao Hui lightly dusted off his sleeves, then slowly walked down the throne, arriving in front of Qin Mian and Qin Mian. His expression was kind, and his tone was warm, "Hahaha ?? How have the two dear ones been? "
"With the blessings of Your Majesty, this humble subject and Your Majesty are in good health." Lei Tia replied concisely.
Emperor Xiao Hui smiled lightly, "That's good. There are many times when I have heard my two beloved officials mention the new appearance of Kui County in memorials and I was extremely curious. Also, I yearned for the scenery of the fields, so I decided to personally come and take a look. If our new Kui County satisfies us, we will allow the two of you to live in seclusion in the fields. "
Qin Mian was so overjoyed that he exchanged glances with Lei Tia.
"Thank you, your majesty! Your Majesty, this way, please. "
"Lead the way." Emperor Xiao Hui smiled and waved his hand, walking forward with Qin Mian and Lei Tia.
Eunuch Lee, Prefect Cai and a few other officials hurriedly followed.
