Regardless of whether this is a good thing or not, people who are officials have said so. What should you, a common citizen, do now?
Qi Kang'an hurriedly hugged his daughter and led his son to kneel down again with a grateful face.
"On behalf of the three hundred and seventy-one people in Qijia Village, the grass-roots people would like to thank Lord Tongpan for your life-saving kindness."
"Hey, hey, get up." Lu Tongfan, who thought he was very shameless, was a little embarrassed by his solemn thanks.
It's really not his fault, it was clearly suppressed by the superiors.
Magistrate Lu Tong didn't know much. He only knew that someone in Qijia Village seemed to have some relationship with Zhenbei General's Mansion, and it wasn't just a superficial relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered. As the eldest son, Mr. Wu would personally come forward to find the magistrate.
.
The Zhenbei General's Mansion not only holds military power, but its mistress is also the emperor's cousin.
He is the general who protects one of the five cities in the capital city, and he is willing to meet the people of Qijia Village who are "bastards like you", but he just wants to take the opportunity to make a good deal.
He doesn't want to say what kind of connections he has. He is worthy of being able to reach his current position.
But I'm worried that I might offend someone unknowingly, after all...
Therefore, Qi Kang'an thanked him as if he was a savior, especially the little girl in the man's arms, who looked at him with big eyes and a look of admiration, which was rare for Lu Tongpan.
I feel a little guilty.
He didn't do anything, and he didn't even come out to say a word of justice at that time, but he didn't deserve such a thank you, let alone the jade doll looking at him like this.
Apologize.
Then, the father and son entered the door empty-handed, and when they came out, Dali carried a large basket on his back.
The backpack was covered with a piece of gray cloth so that no one could see what was inside, but it had a sharp shape that even a person who was not blind could see.
A yamen servant and another one beside him murmured: "This is a reward from Lord Tongpan."
The other person was the one who led the father and son in. With a straight face, he glanced sideways at the yamen servant who asked the question and said quietly: "How would I know? I didn't see it."
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. One look at the exchanges between these two people and it is clear that they usually do not deal with each other.

Qijia Village.
"Is this really from Lord Tong San?"
As Mrs. Tian put the things in the box on the newly arranged table, she looked at her eldest son and then at the things in her hands. The word doubt was written on every cell on her face.
What I got back was really too precious.
She weighed a large piece of pork belly that weighed five kilograms, ten kilograms of millet, ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of white flour, two boxes of boxed pastries, and two cabbages weighing six to seven kilograms.
Although Lao Qi's family has seen a lot of good things recently thanks to her granddaughter, Mrs. Tian came from poverty. Even though her life is getting better now, she is still not distracted. She knows in her heart that life is not easy for ordinary people, and she knows better.
The true value of these things.
This is not something that can be taken out casually. People are general judges, so how can they give you these good things after only meeting them once or twice?
Qi Kang'an wiped his face and said proudly: "It's not because of your granddaughter, but somehow the two of them actually talked about it. Then a yamen servant came in carrying a big box on his back, saying that it was a benefit given to Master Tongpan at the end of the month.
The judge asked him to get another frame and put all these in one go, and he was still angry when I told him not to."
His daughter was so painful. It turned out that he was really unsure about the Lord Tongpan. He was just holding on to his official authority.
Unexpectedly, her daughter only said a few words to the judge before he laughed, and even forced his daughter to sit with him. The two of them whispered for a long time. It was not easy for him to eavesdrop even though he was standing far away. It was not clear what the two of them were talking about.
What happened? All I know is that the smile on Master Tongpan’s face never faded.
He also asked his daughter about it on the way, but her daughter was very strict and didn't tell him anything.
"By the way, Dad, Master Tongpan said that someone would send relief food to us. Just in the past two or three days, I remember that many families in the village had gone out of business and bought a thousand kilograms of cornmeal."
Old man Qi had just returned from working outside and was shaking the mud off his trouser legs in the corner, "Have you told your Kaishan master?"
"As I said, I've already calculated the money back."
On the night he arrived at the village, Qi Kangan handed Qi Kaishan a thousand taels of silver in front of a group of people who were the masters of each household. Qi Kaishan wrote a letter to Qi Kangan in the name of the whole village as Xinli Zheng.
Got the IOU.
The village borrowed one thousand taels from Qi Kang'an. Naturally, if Qi Kang'an wanted to buy things for the village later, the account would have to be drawn from these one thousand taels.
It also included the money that the villagers once owed to Lao Qi's family and Gao Dafu's family. Qi Kaishan took the initiative and took out one thousand taels and returned it to the two families.
Now the villagers owe money to the village, and the village owes money to pray for Kang'an.
The accounts are more clear, there are no private accounts, they are all public accounts.
Old Man Qi: "That will be done."
Mrs. Tian called Ye Sanni to take things to the kitchen. Knowing that the father and son had changed the subject, they did not continue talking about Lord Tong San.
"Yasuko, the furniture you bought was delivered at noon. Two beds were moved into your room, and two beds were moved into my room and your father's. The desk is for Yasuko, I guess. I also asked people to move it into the room.
"
"Mom, you can do whatever you want." He couldn't believe his own mother.
Dinner in the evening was extremely lively. Human beings are really strange creatures. They usually eat like this, but when I put on a new dining table and sat on a brand-new chair, I felt that the food was particularly delicious.

The busy days always go by very fast, and September has entered in a blink of an eye.
Today is a big day for Qijia Village. After four or five days of planning, the village has finally been sorted out clearly, and now we can choose a place to start building a new home.
The terrain where Qijia Village is located is very good, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a wide river on one side.
The land that can be used to build houses is also very large. It can accommodate not only sixty-six households, but also four or five sixty-six households.
The place was big enough, and there was a room where skeletons had been found, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I couldn't hide this fact. After all, more than a dozen men who were with Gao Da at the time saw it with their own eyes.
Li Zheng discussed with everyone and pushed their new village towards the official road. The fields happened to be inside. After the houses were built, the original villagers worked hard to clear them out and move the fields to this side.
Open it and expand.
The villagers had no objection, since they were all rebuilt anyway. As for reclaiming the old village into fields, it would take some effort, but they lacked nothing but strength.
So on the first day, everyone tidied up the old village, and then they worked on the new site.
Early that morning, the villagers were looking forward to it early.
What are you looking forward to?
Panjiuchang Town's official mission, Qijia Village is directly subordinate to Jiuchang Town.
Originally, the villagers Li Zheng and the bookkeepers [accounting personnel] could handle the matter like purchasing land and then report it to the government. However, Qijia Village was similar to the establishment of a new village. Jiuchang Town seemed to take it seriously and specially sent a
The yamen rode on horseback to inform them that they would send people to help Qijia Village handle this matter.
But today this is a major event that concerns the whole village, and the child who should be here the most is not present.
Where to put it?
Well, it is the person who feasted and drank in Lord Tongpan's house.
