There are only two county towns Yang Haiyan has been to. In the memory of the original owner, she has never been to other places except the capital. Of course, compared with the capital, no county is as prosperous as the capital. Therefore, it can be said that the Huanshui County and Bianguan County that Yang Haiyan has visited are also incomparable to the county seat of Yunxiang County.

Because of poverty and backwardness, Yunxiang County cannot develop in all aspects. Therefore, people with some economic foundation, such as wealthy businessmen, or people from the county with some basic families, will move out of Yunxiang County. If the development of a county falls behind, how can the town and village develop? After all, the county seat can drive the town and the village.

As for the current Yunxiang County, Yang Haiyan felt that it was the town on the other side of the family room. No wonder the general's mansion is a bit shabby. The items of the palace that do not meet the five senses are dismantled, restructured, and moved away, and the rest of the palace is empty, so it is dilapidated. The palace is still like this, and the shops in the county town are also old. Probably the only thing that is still acceptable is that it did not collapse like a city wall.

Yang Haiyan had already bought the land, the land with the military camp, and the land of the general's mansion, all of which were selected by Niu Da. Speaking of which, the land here is much cheaper than the border land.

At the frontier, high-level areas cost ten taels, medium-level ones cost six taels, and low-level ones cost four taels. But here, only six taels of silver in the upper class, four taels in the middle, and two taels in the lower class. Because there are few rich people, and people with status have migrated, so there is no place to sell the products of poor families, so the land is cheap.

However, this cheap place also has an advantage, and that is the problem of paying taxes. Because the land is cheap, the common people have more land, more land, and more grain left after paying taxes. The more food there is, the more everyone will be able to eat.

To sum up the situation in Yunxiang County, poor is really poor, because there is no money. But the people are still in good spirits, because they can eat enough.

It stands to reason that since the land is cheap, there can be a lot of harvest left in the land, and their conditions can be good. But to sell things to other counties, the round-trip fee is also expensive. Therefore, the people of Yunxiang County give people the feeling that they are satisfied with an inch of land and are used to their current life. In the case of food and clothing, poverty or something is not so important

What can be done in such a poor place? Open a shop for business? Like at the border? It is estimated that no one even buys dim sum.

Growing crops to sell?

Forget it.

So for the people of Yunxiang County, the most important thing is how to make them make money, not how to make Yang Haiyan make money himself.

And let the people in Yunxiang County make money, and when they have money, Yang Haiyan will also make money.

There is only one way for them to make money. They use the land to benefit them. They are all short of land. Soon, Yang Haiyan had an idea in her mind. It is not difficult for modern people to use the land to make money. After thinking about it, Yang Haiyan went to visit the few shops in the county that were still doing business.

Qin was waiting at the gate of the county town, and he did not go back after listening to Colonel Lu arranged for soldiers to call his daughter-in-law. However, when the soldier came back and his wife did not come, all expectations and surprises came to nothing.

The soldier did not know what Qin Fang was thinking, and respectfully said: "General, my wife left here and never returned to the house."

When Qin Fang heard this, he hummed expressionlessly.

The soldier was startled when he heard this echo, what did he do wrong? Why does the general's voice sound a little unhappy?

Before waiting for the soldiers to think about it, Qin Fang said again: "Go and do your work."

Soldier: "Yes."

The group of people brought by Qin Fang did not need to set up tents, because the group of people brought by Yang Haiyan had already set up enough tents, and after they arrived, they moved in directly.

Qin Fang made a round of inspection. It was much better than the camp in the wild. Everyone was in good spirits, and he felt a little relieved in his heart. "Xiaowei Lu." He called for Xiaowei Lu, who came first.

Colonel Lu hurried over: "General?"

Qin Fang pointed to the collapsed city wall and asked, "This city wall has collapsed, why didn't the county magistrate repair it?" He would not intervene in ordinary matters in Yunxiang County, but as a general defending the city, this city wall would be his responsibility in the future. So he has to take care.

Captain Lu said: "The subordinate asked the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that this matter is a bit complicated. I will tell you when you arrive. He also said that this matter still needs your help. However, the subordinate also asked the common people. The collapse of the county wall is related to the mountain in the southeast."

Oh? Qin Fang looked to the southeast, the mountain was very close to the county seat, and it took about two quarters of an hour to ride a horse. Few mountains are located so close to the county seat. "What does it have to do with that mountain?"

Lv Xiaowei explained that when he said it, he also felt incredible: "Renzhou used to be the territory of King Liang, and now your general's mansion is repaired by the original mansion of King Liang. It is said that King Liang built the mansion into the barren Yunxiang County. It is because of this kind of mountain. King Liang likes to hunt, and there are a lot of prey in the mountains. But King Liang was worried that the common people would go hunting and they would kill his prey, so he made a rule that the common people of Renzhou were not allowed to go hunting in that mountain. , and therefore, that mountain has a name, Beast Mountain. Because King Liang can't catch so many prey alone, so there are more and more prey on the mountain, so it is called Beast Mountain."

Qin Fang knew some things about King Liang, and Yang Haiyan mentioned it to him. Later in Huanshui County, he and Du Ke got along for a while and found that although Mr. Du was serious in appearance, he was a good official. So he also asked Master Du about the way of being an official and Yunxiang County. It's just that he doesn't know about the Beast Mountain, and Master Du has never mentioned it to him. Presumably Master Du also doesn't know about it.

Qin Fang said: "Go ahead."

Lv Xiaowei: "Yes. The people here say that the prey of the Beast Mountain is increasing. Although King Liang died, this place is under the jurisdiction of the court, but the court has never spoken about the Beast Mountain, so the common people also I dare not go to the Beast Mountain to hunt, and therefore, the result of too many prey in the Beast Mountain is... Every winter, when the prey has nothing to eat, the common people will go down the mountain and cholera. "

Qin Fang frowned: "You want to say that the collapse of the city wall in this county was caused by the prey on the beast mountain? A mere beast, no matter how ferocious, can be so powerful?"

Lv Xiaowei didn't believe it either, but said, "What the common people saw with their own eyes, how could it be false? If it was said by one or two common people, my subordinates would not believe it, but every common people said this, and they also said that they saw it with their own eyes. ."

If this is the case, why did the county magistrate of Yunxiang County not respond to the court? Qin Fang looked at the city wall and pondered.

County government

The yamen would go to work outside the county every day. One was to observe the situation of the surrendered barbarians, and the other was to see if there was anything in need of help, but he did not expect to meet General Qin and come back today. So, the yamen immediately went back to the county government and told the magistrate Yang about the incident.

The county magistrate Yang said unexpectedly: "General Qin is back? I know, you can go down." General Qin only came back today, and he will definitely go back to the general's mansion. Besides, he is tired from traveling all day long. Even if he wants to visit, it will be a matter of tomorrow.

With an idea, Magistrate Yang went to the backyard of the county government.

When the magistrate Yang arrived at the door of Mrs. Yang's yard, he was informed that Mrs. Yang was entertaining guests, and he said, "Then I'll go back to the study, it's too long, you can tell me later."

Maid: "Yes."

Turning back and waiting for the Yang County magistrate to leave, the maid went silent: "Madam, the master is back, knowing that you are entertaining guests, he has returned to the study, saying that you will be free later, he is coming." As soon as I heard it, I knew that Magistrate Yang had something to do with Mrs. Yang.

Upon seeing this, the guest said very wisely: "Since Mrs. Yang has something to do, the women will leave first."

Mrs. Yang said, "Then I won't send it."

After the guests left, Mrs. Yang went to the study to find the magistrate Yang: "Master."

The county magistrate Yang was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Mrs. Yang coming in, he said, "The guest is gone?"

Mrs. Yang: "Let's go, it's Mrs. Shang, who came to match Shunqing." Yang Shunqing, the younger brother of the magistrate Yang is twenty-five this year. After the accident in the Yang family, the magistrate Yang was transferred to Yunxiang County. He is the eldest son. , parents and brothers followed. But Yang Shunqing's wife was reluctant to come over. Yunxiang County was not only far away, but also barren. Therefore, Yang Shunqing and his wife divorced.

Today that Mrs. Shang is a matchmaker for her niece.

When the magistrate Yang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Talk to Shunqing about this matter another day. It's been two years, and he can't do it. After all, the child is still young."

Mrs. Yang said, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what I have in mind. By the way, did the lord just ask me for something important?"

The county magistrate said: "Yes, the yamen at the gate of the city came to report today that General Qin is back. I think we should visit the general's mansion tomorrow."

Mrs. Yang said: "I know what I have in mind, and I will arrange it properly."

The county magistrate Yang is discussing what gifts to prepare for the general's mansion tomorrow, and as the hostess of the general's mansion, Yang Haiyan doesn't know that the man is back.

She visited the county town and went home. As soon as he returned to the General's Mansion, Uncle Hong, the gatekeeper, said, "I have seen Mrs. Madam, you are finally back. My family went to look for you, but I met you?"

Yang Haiyan was surprised: "I never met, Aunt Hong went to find me? Is this something in the house?" Yunxiang County said it was not big, but said it was not small.

Uncle Hong said with a smile: "It's a big event, the adults are back."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I'm back at last." After saying that, she quickly entered the door.

Uncle Hong hurriedly said: "The adults are back, but they are still outside the city. They have not returned to the General's Mansion. Only Mother Lian and the others have returned to the General's Mansion."

Yang Haiyan stopped: "I haven't come back yet? How long has Mother Lian been back?"

Uncle Hong said: "It's been more than half an hour."

Yang Haiyan was stunned, it's been more than half an hour, why hasn't Qin Fang returned to the house? "Then I'll go outside the city to see."
