——As long as there is mutual benefit, Shanglin Village will not be an obstacle but a help?
Fang Qi blinked: That's what my opponent meant.
"The real backer of Shanglin Village is the Li family in Beijing."
Thinking that Qi Bao'er might not know which Li family in the capital was, Fang Qiduo explained: "The Li family was once a military general. Mr. Li was granted the title of "waiting in Beijing" by the emperor because he was seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield.
It’s a pity that none of Li Houye’s sons joined the army.”
Qi Baoer ignored the problem that his descendants never joined the army, but... "You said that the backers of Shanglin Village are the Li family?"
"Oh, yes, the current pig-raising business in Shanglin Village is obviously under the control of the village, but in fact it is really in the hands of the clan leader. The clan leader's direct granddaughter is the concubine of a concubine of Mr. Li Hou."
Qi Baoer: "..."
Come on, here comes another concubine.
Fang Qi was afraid that Qi Bao'er was too young to understand the meaning behind this, but she was already the county head, and the county head personally named by the emperor, and now she had a family who wanted to raise pigs, so he felt that he should explain it clearly to her.
It's better to have a strong relationship.
"County Master, raising pigs may not seem like a big deal, but in fact the profits are considerable. Many people in Beijing have been eyeing Shanglin Village, and the Li family is one of them."
Qi Baoer: "So Patriarch Lin gave his granddaughter to the grandson of the Li family as a concubine. It was considered an in-law relationship, and the Li family became the protective umbrella of Shanglin Village."
Grandson of the Li family, why does this sound wrong to him?
Umbrella is a good word.
Fang Qi nodded: "Not only that, the pigs in Shanglin Village are just a small thing. The Li family raises nearly 10,000 pigs in Chixi Town, thousands of cattle and sheep each, as well as countless chickens, ducks and rabbits.
"
Qi Baoer jumped back to the tree stump and sat down, "What do you mean, the Li family obtained the breeding technology of Shanglin Village and then carried it forward?
But the Li family has done so much, does the emperor know?"
Fang Qi had never heard these fresh words from Qi Bao'er, but it was not difficult to understand. He smiled and replied: "I know that the Li family has been approved by the emperor in a memorial, and the things raised by the Li family can be regarded as helping the imperial court.
Most of them are supplied to the army, and the remaining small part is also transported to the north where it is difficult for livestock to survive."
Qi Baoer stared at Fang Qi silently. He just said that this person was stupid, but he immediately told her that he was dishonest. Do you want her to show his fist?
Fang Qi didn't expect that he was going to be beaten soon. Fortunately, he still put Qi Bao'er's mind at the age of four or five. He didn't really want to test Qi Bao'er, but immediately continued talking.
A beating was spared.
"County Master, the Li family can't afford to pay for so many things. The imperial court allocated money.
Moreover, nearly half of the entire northern side of Chixi Town was given to their family by the imperial court for the exclusive use of breeding.
but···
It used to be okay, but in recent years, it's basically impossible to get in or out of the imperial court.
The Ministry of Household Affairs sent people to investigate and found that the problem was caused by livestock diseases."
Speaking of this, Fang Qi pursed his lips with disdain on his face.
Qi Baoer said "Oh~" in his heart, he understood that the imperial court was going to clean up the Li family.
Wait, she was already pushed away by this guy.
"What we were talking about just now were about Shanglin Village, right?" It brought up the Li family, and then the court, and also brought up things that were considered secrets.
Is this person still reliable?
Fang Qi, on the other hand, glanced at Qi Baoer and said something in a low voice.
Qi Baoer: "..."
It's cruel enough, but she likes it.
-
That night, not only did San Lang still not have dinner, but he was also beaten by Qi Kang'an again.
My buttocks were already swollen and it was difficult to spank anymore. My legs were spanked so that my upper and lower body were extremely uncoordinated.
It was so miserable that none of the children in the family could bear to look at it, and they all ran to the new house with pity on their faces.
The new house has been basically completed. The first, second and third entrance yards have been completed. Only the two large gardens in the front and back yards still need to be carved.
Now most of the workers have withdrawn, leaving only a few stone carvers and a dozen or so men.
For these people, it should be said that Foreman Pang is very measured. They will not step into the houses that have been built casually. Their houses have already been moved outside the backyard wall.
The place where they live has been moved, and the place where they cook has naturally been moved with them.
So a few kids came to the mansion, and the entire mansion became theirs.
The large garden you enter from the main entrance still looks messy because there are still many areas that have not been finished, and you can only see a general view.
Upon entering the main entrance, there is a large stone wall silhouette that is three meters high, three meters wide, and nine meters wide. However, the carving of the wall has not started yet, and the front and back sides are bulging with light.
Going around the wall is the large garden. There is a huge hole dug in a conspicuous position on the left hand side. This is the lake, and the water has not been introduced yet.
On the edge of the lake towards the courtyard wall, there are many large and strange-shaped stones piled up, which are used to carve rockeries.
The right side has basically taken shape, with small gravel paths of different shapes interspersed on the loess and black soil, and a corridor hanging in the air.
Just wait until the time comes to plant and display flowers, plants and trees.
Go through the main road in the middle and arrive at the first entrance, which is the front yard.
The front door was locked, and she had the key to pray for treasure, but she still took a group of kids through the corner door. Her father said that the front door could not be opened until the official moving day.
There is also a garden after entering through the corner gate, but this garden is several sizes smaller than the one outside just now, only about fifty square meters.
After entering through the corner door, you will walk through a corridor about one meter above the ground.
The front yard is designed in a rectangular form. It is the smallest of the three courtyards, about 200 square meters. On the left side are six rooms side by side, which are used for receiving guests.
On the right side where Qi Baoer and the others came in, there were also six rooms, but instead of being side by side, they were divided into three rooms on the left and right.
The left side is where the future gatekeeper will live, and the right side is where her father has not yet figured out what to use it for.
Qi Bao'er and the others did not go to the front yard, but turned from the corridor and the corner door into the second courtyard, which is the middle courtyard.
The middle courtyard is where their family actually lives, and it is also the courtyard with the largest area among the three courtyards.
It is divided into several small courtyards, and several small courtyards are semicircular, surrounding a lake that is also semicircular in front.
The most central one is the main courtyard. The family has agreed that this is Qi Bao'er's residence, and she is the owner of this house.
The left side of the main courtyard is the residence of my grandparents, and the right side is the residence of my parents.
Grandma's side was drawn by Daliang. Next to Daliang was Sanlang. There was an empty yard next to Sanlang's yard.
There are two courtyards next to my parents' courtyard, one with four ridges and six ridges, and the other is the temporary courtyard for Qi Wuyou and Qi Xiaojun. There is also an empty courtyard next to it.
Behind the nine courtyards is a row of huts lined up against the wall, which will be the residences for the servants in the future.
Each courtyard is not small. The largest one is the main courtyard where Qi Baoer lives. It covers an area of about 500 square meters. Qi Kangan actually found someone to find a way to build a two-story building in the place where he lives.
It was also Qi Bao'er who had been named the County Lord, and the Ministry of Industry was willing to give him face. When he learned that Qi Kang'an was looking for someone to build a two-story building for the Anle County Lord, someone asked Magistrate Yue to recommend him.
