Chapter 1194 Farewell
Zhou Guo said, "It just so happens that I need to go to the prefectural capital. I will go on this trip for you. The county cannot be without you at this time."
Hearing that she was leaving, the county magistrate was a little anxious, "Sir, why are you so anxious? Didn't you say you still wanted to sell fat?"
Zhou Guo said, "Sir, all the things have been done. I have helped you to break up the four families. From now on, there will be no one to stop you from doing things. Why should I stay here? Besides, there was a severe drought last year. It was not only Fengfei County that had a hard time. I have to go to other places and cannot stay in one place for long."
The county magistrate suddenly realized that he was no longer hiding in the yamen waiting to die. Now that the four big families had gone bankrupt and the yamen's treasury was full, he could do many, many things!
Wu Jiang came last time and brought eight people to Zhou Guo, and she kept two of them.
And with the land that the four big families contributed, they bought a farm of four to five thousand acres to make fertilizer for growing crops. From now on, the farm will be put into use to make fertilizer for growing crops.
She left three thousand taels for the two of them. If it was not enough, she could write a letter to the provincial capital and they would allocate the money.
When Wang Sizhu heard that she was leaving, he ran over to follow her, "Sir, please take us with you. We will stay by your side, even if we just run errands for you."
Zhou Guo said: "I said it at the beginning, I have no shortage of errand boys around me, I've been running around all year round, you have families, if you follow me, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home for several years, isn't it good to stay in Fengfei County?
You have your family here, and with this job, you can support your family, which is something many people would never be able to hope for."
How many people were hurt by the poverty and wandering around the country. Even now, her mother still talks about that small village in the south from time to time.
Wang Sizhu and the other man lowered their heads.
Zhou Guo said: "You guys work hard here."
Pointing to the two stewards who stayed aside, he said, "Listen to their instructions. As long as you work hard, you will not be treated unfairly. It is much better than following me."
"That's right, all the people who run errands for the master are literate. Can you recognize a bunch of big characters?" Xiaoshu couldn't help but say. Not everyone can get close to the master.
The two people's faces turned red. They really couldn't read. Let alone a basket of words, they didn't even know a single word.
It seems that I really have no right to be around adults.
Wang Sizhu said, "Then have a safe journey, sir. If you need us anytime in the future, please send us a letter. Even if it rains knives from the sky, we will rush to your side."
The peddler nodded heavily, "Sir, I feel the same way."
Zhou Guo smiled, "You guys, and the village chief's youngest son who stayed in the village, work hard and don't let me down."
On the day of departure, people from all over the county came to see him off.
Zhou Guo looked at the crowds of people crowded on both sides of the street and waved to them one by one as a greeting.
With tears in their eyes, they waved their hands and chanted, "Rest in peace, sir! Rest in peace!"
Others were carrying baskets to deliver to the car, and in the baskets were steamed buns, dough balls, etc.
At this time of year, these are the best things in everyone's home.
How can Zhou Guo harvest it?
He said, "No need to send these things, folks. You can take them back. I have enough food. You can keep these for yourself. As long as you can eat well and live well, it will be the best gift for me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down and cried.
Where have they ever met such an official in their lifetime?
Usually we only hear about it in other people’s old stories, talking about how it happened in the past, but now, they have finally met each other.
The carriage rolled slowly forward, and the people of the entire county followed behind and walked slowly forward for ten miles.
The county magistrate set up wine on the roadside to see him off.
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "Your Excellency is too particular. The county government is so busy, how can you still have time to travel so far to hold a farewell banquet?"
The county magistrate held up a glass of wine and said, "As you should. Young Master has helped me so much and brought me back to life. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are my second parents. I will see you off. I don't know when we will meet again."
Zhou Guo picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "My Lord, you have great ambitions. The day when the world is pacified will be the day when you will be promoted. We will naturally meet again then."
The county magistrate's eyebrows moved. He had worked with Zhou Guo for a short time, but not too long either. He asked, "What is the relationship between you and General Xu?"
Looking at her style of doing things, she is simply fearless. She does whatever she wants to do to anyone and doesn't even take the Lord of the Mansion seriously. There must be a powerful person behind her.
Zhou Guo smiled, leaned closer and whispered a few words.
The county magistrate stood there in a daze.
Zhou Guo laughed and waved his hand, saying, "My Lord, take care of yourself. I'm leaving now. See you next time."
He got in the carriage and left.
The county magistrate reacted, knelt down in the direction Zhou Guo left, and kowtowed hard.
Dashu looked back at the reluctant crowd and said, "In their hearts, the master has probably become a god by now."
Zhou Guo said: "What the common people want is actually very simple. Whoever allows them to have enough food and clothing, live a good life, and not be bullied by others is the god in their hearts."
Xiaoshu asked: "Master, don't we need to go to the other counties?"
Zhou Guo said: "No need. With Fengfei County as an example, several counties followed suit and punished many people. Although the effect is not as great as Fengfei County, these counties will be peaceful in a short period of time."
All the way to the city.
Along with the memorial, she also sent up the seal on her body, which belonged to Xu Xiushan.
In fact, her own seal is also fine. After all, she is a general, but generally speaking, her face is certainly not as great as that of a great general.
The Lord of the Mansion received the memorial, but before he had time to read the contents, he saw the big seal first. He was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly led people out to greet him.
There was a sense of fear that a disaster was about to happen. Why did it come so suddenly? Without any warning beforehand, I didn't know if it was here to cause trouble?
……
Zhou Guo sat and drank tea, the tea was really good!
The Lord of the Mansion asked cautiously, "Sir, are you here to escort these prisoners?"
Aren't they just a few prisoners in the county? Even if they are a few big landlords, they can't bother you enough to come here, right?
The Xu family army is very powerful now. Most of the imperial court has fallen into their hands, with only a few pieces of land in the capital left. I think it will be soon.
If the Xu family reaches the top, he can't afford to offend the person in front of him. He will be replaced if he is told to. Even if he is killed, he will not live until dawn.
Zhou Guo said: "Of course not."
The person on the other side felt nervous.
"I came here this time to discuss with you the spring ploughing in the entire prefecture. The relief grain has been allocated. Is there any mistake?"
She was in Fengfei County, and letters were sent to the provincial capital one after another. Qian Duo had also come to visit her, so the efficiency of the provincial capital should not be worse than that of Fengfei County.
