There used to be many houses around the old house, but now none of them are gone, leaving only the remains of the buildings, and even the broken tiles and wood have been cleaned up.
At this moment, the work was in full swing inside, and Xiao Qiyue discovered that many neighbors were helping inside.
What are you doing? A picture of large-scale production...
Looking further into the distance, I found that the Tianyang County Magistrate, Sun Zhangcheng, the cheap apprentice I had taken on, was currently helping with the county government's agents and servants, serving tea and water enthusiastically.
"Zhang Cheng, what are you doing?" Xiao Qiyue, accompanied by Tieshan, walked over slowly.
"Ah, Third Young Master Xiao is back..."
"You kid, don't be dazzled. How will the Third Young Master have time to come back?"
"That's right, the pride of our Tianyang County is back..."
Suddenly, many people screamed.
Soon, those who were working and the neighbors outside the fence all rushed out crazily and surrounded him. Everyone worshiped Xiao Qiyue with passionate eyes.
"Old...teacher..." Sun Zhangcheng also stumbled through the crowd and rushed in. When he saw Xiao Qiyue, he immediately knelt on the ground. Xiao Qiyue could see that he was really excited.
"Zhang Cheng, thank you for your trouble." Xiao Qiyue gently brushed Sun Zhangcheng's hand, and he immediately lifted him up.
"It should be, it should be, being able to work for the teacher is a blessing that Zhang Cheng and I have never had in my lifetime." Sun Zhangcheng looked excited and was a little incoherent.
"Not bad, Zhang Cheng, he is already in the second rank of Ningtai." Xiao Qiyue said with a smile.
"They are all cultivated by the teacher." Sun Zhangcheng bent down and replied with a respectful look.
"Third Young Master, I heard that there are outstanding people like you in Tianyang, and many people around here have moved to Tianyang County.
Because, they say that Tianyang has good feng shui and is a place with outstanding people.
There are dragon veins and so on, so the population of our Tianyang County suddenly more than tripled.
Magistrate Sun once said that if this momentum continues, it will soon catch up with the population of Hai'an City." Du Captou said with a smile.
"Zhang Cheng, if this is the case, you have to make preparations in advance. Rearrange the county seat. Houses cannot be built indiscriminately, and the streets must be wider to avoid making a mess." Xiao Qiyue said with a serious face.
After all, the previous life's rectification of illegal construction, chaotic urban construction, and inadequate transportation facilities are a profound lesson.
Now that he has such a popular base, Xiao Qiyue also wants to hype up his hometown.
"Teacher, I am waiting for the teacher to ask for advice on this matter after he returns to the province. Therefore, the newly moved residents these days have not allowed them to start building houses." Zhang Suncheng is still quite discerning.
"Okay! In a few days, all houses will be built according to the county government regulations. It is best to set up a special hall to manage house construction, such as a construction hall." Xiao Qiyue nodded, pointing to his homestead,
"What's going on with all this?"
"Teacher, it's like this.
Didn’t the emperor reward the Xiao family with three thousand acres of land?
Some of the land was separated by several families. Later, when they found out about it, they took the initiative to move away.
Of course, the eldest son did not treat them badly and made proper arrangements.
And, better than before.
The eldest son means to integrate them together." Zhang Suncheng said.
"That's right, it was all of our own free will. Moreover, we made a profit." The neighbor, Sister-in-law Zhang, nodded with a cheerful look on her face.
"The eldest son did not let us suffer, we are still happy. My Lin family's old house was replaced by a store of Xiao's family. Now they have opened stores, and our Lin family no longer has to worry about food and drink." Uncle Lin's eyes almost smiled.
Gone.
"That's fine, that's fine. Let's do this. Tomorrow morning all of you residents in the original relocation area will come to Xiao's house, and each household will be subsidized with one thousand taels of silver." Xiao Qiyue said. Naturally, he was also worried about people with ulterior motives poking his back.
Knife, said that the Xiao family used their power to bully others and force good people to do so.
"Third Young Master is really a kind man..." Dozens of relocated households all shouted excitedly.
It’s really a big profit.
"Brother, there will be trouble if you do this." After returning home, Xiao Qiyue said to his eldest brother Xiao Qingshan.
"I know that third brother, you are worried about the big tree attracting wind. In fact, I don't want to do this. After all, the Zhao family is still watching. We can't be caught by them. However, the emperor's order cannot be violated." Xiao
Qingshan frowned.
"Is it hard to disobey the emperor's order? How can I say this, brother?" Xiao Qiyue was a little dizzy.
"This is the Queen Mother's order to integrate the more than 3,000 acres of land granted by the emperor with the Xiao family's old residence.
This royal family is really powerful. He actually knows the situation around our Xiao family’s old residence.
Otherwise, we would not be rewarded with fertile land around us.
There are only a hundred households in this area. I have already compensated them and I have never treated them badly.
Moreover, when they heard about it, they all moved happily." Xiao Qingshan said.
"Does the Emperor have another imperial edict to the Xiao family in Tianyang?" Xiao Qiyue asked.
"Yes, I arrived at the Xiao family more than ten days ago. Moreover, the Queen Mother's request to integrate the Xiao family was given to me privately by Eunuch Ding in the palace, and was not read out in public." The eldest brother said with a serious face.
"Let's take a look?" Xiao Qiyue felt quite curious.
Xiao Qingshan hurried back to the house and took out the Queen Mother's Yi Zhi. Xiao Qiyue opened it and handed it to Zhang Suncheng. Sun Zhangcheng looked at it carefully and nodded and said, "It's true."
"Zhang Cheng, what do you mean by the Queen Mother?" Xiao Qiyue asked.
"I guess I want to elevate your status, teacher. As one of the top 100 geniuses on the Azure Dragon Ranking, you are considered a genius in the entire Fang Tianyu.
Moreover, the teacher has also been granted the title of third-class earl, so naturally it cannot be too shabby.
Moreover, teacher, you are now a celebrity, and there are always some people who come here to see you.
By then, if the Xiao family's old residence is too shabby, will it ruin Da Chu's reputation?
Therefore, the Queen Mother specifically requested that the homestead be consolidated and the Xiao family be rebuilt in style.
For this reason, the Queen Mother specially dug up 300,000 taels of silver.
This is equivalent to giving you a new house.
My Queen Mother of Chu is really conscientious." Sun Zhangcheng touched his chin and sighed.
"Let's do it this way, Zhang Cheng, brother. Get ready tonight, I want to cleanse your marrow." Xiao Qiyue made a decision. The disciple's strength was too weak, which made the master's face look dull.
The eldest brother is shouldering the important task of protecting the entire Xiao family and cannot afford to be careless.
Although Zuo Siniang is in charge of the Xiao family, it is impossible for someone in the mortal realm to follow you like a follower every day.
To strike iron, you must be strong yourself.
"How are you, Senior Zuo?" After everything was settled, Xiao Qiyue greeted her politely from afar, and found Zuo Siniang sitting embroidering in a small independent courtyard arranged by the Xiao family.
"Don't you see that I am very leisurely?" Zuo Siniang raised her head and glanced at Xiao Qiyue.
She knew that she was unhappy. After all, in order to keep his promise, a formation master in the Mortal Realm could only guard the Xiao family for ten years as a slave. No one would be happy if he changed it.
"Senior, I have to thank you for the Xiao family's affairs." Xiao Qiyue clasped her fists.
