There is no doubt about Cheng Jingzhou's ability. The Harvest Workshop attracted a large number of merchants. Even some local merchants saw the opportunity. Some simply picked up the goods at the workshop and then sold them at the dock or near the official road. .
Xie Rongzhao also became busy because of this workshop. Naturally, some of the dried meats and dried meats she made by herself had to be sold in her own shop. She also had to let the people in the capital know that Feng County, a small place like this, had to be sold. It is also not to be underestimated.
Things in the workshop were going smoothly, but the Qingzhang issue once again faced trouble.
This time, after they cleared their land, they found that there was a field owned by the champion general, and it seriously exceeded the reported number.
This means that this is the first person Cheng Jingzhou has met who dares to confront him since he started to live in Feng County.
The former Jiahua County Lord knew how to restrain himself, especially after he disposed of the Du family, Jiahua County Lord immediately disposed of a large number of fields.
But now the champion general obviously didn't take Cheng Jingzhou seriously.
When Cheng Jingzhou asked someone to go to the capital to investigate again, they found out that the champion general was currently stationed at the border, and it was his two sons who stayed in the capital to take care of these industries.
As for Feng County, it seems that his eldest son is taking care of it.
So, this is the eldest son of the champion general, facing off against Cheng Jingzhou?
Cheng Jingzhou is not afraid. He has even taken care of the second son of the Prince of Xiang County, and he is not afraid of another son from a powerful official's family!
As the chief official of a county, Cheng Jingzhou naturally had to shoulder this responsibility.
So, on the same day, he had the two village heads involved in the case taken away. Of course, some people were anxious to report to the capital.
After Cheng Jingzhou got the job, he was not in a hurry. The champion general had only a false position and was regarded as a casual official. However, this man in front of him was different. He had real power in his hands.
Strictly speaking, Champion General Song Huai'en was a famous and brave general in the Dazhi Dynasty. The reason why he was awarded such a false position as Champion General is said to be because General Song was promoted too quickly back then. He was not even thirty years old before he took the post. He had reached the position of a third-grade military general, so it was difficult for the Holy Emperor to directly promote him later, so he was rewarded with a false position.
However, the border was unstable the year before last, so the Holy Emperor activated Song Huai'en and sent him directly to the border. Along with him was his second son.
Song Huai'en's eldest son was not in good health. He drank medicine for almost half of the year, so there were many rumors that he would not live long. Some even said that General Song took his second son to the border to fight and perform meritorious service, which was tantamount to It was to abandon this eldest son.
Cheng Jingzhou doesn't know the specific truth.
Song Huai'en's eldest son, Song Ming, was currently surrounded by several imperial doctors in the general's mansion, discussing how to use medicine.
If something happens down there, it's natural to report it to the master.
Mrs. Song only took care of the family and paid no attention to the general affairs outside.
Now that he was found by the servants, he found out that the Qingzhang in Feng County had caused all these things. He was annoyed that the eldest son happened to be ill at this time, and at the same time he was angry that Cheng Jingzhou was too pedantic and did not know how to adapt.
Mrs. Song had never thought about it. Since the eldest son was unwell, why not just leave these things to the third son to take care of?
Although Song Ming was ill, he was not terminally ill. The reason why several imperial doctors came was because Emperor Jingwen heard that Song Ming was ill and wanted to express his comfort.
After all, Song Huai'en was still at the border. His eldest son was ill. As the Lord, he had to express his gratitude.
Mrs. Song sent the man away, and her words were not very pleasant: "How dare you, a small official with a big sesame, come here to cause trouble? My husband is guarding the border for Dazhi, but he is just buying more fields. What's wrong with that?" But he has a lot on his plate, do you really think that just because he is a county magistrate, he can control the world?"
Just then, Song Wei, the third son of the Song family, came over and quickly advised: "Mom, be careful what you say!"
Mrs. Song choked. Although she is an elder, the generals of the Song family have been male and female for many years. Moreover, Mrs. Song has always been relatively weak in front of her husband and son. Naturally, she does not dare to say more now. .
"Mother, do you know if these remarks are really going to spread, how will outsiders spread the word about my Song family? It is not easy for my father and second brother to guard the border for the country outside. We enjoy all the glory and wealth in the capital. Not to mention that we can fight side by side with them, but At least we can’t hold you back!”
Mrs. Song had a stern expression and said no more.
The imperial doctor gave the prescription, and Song Wei personally escorted several of the imperial doctors out of the house before returning to his eldest brother's house again.
Song Ming had just been helped up by the maid and was sitting on his back. There was a bowl of corn porridge beside him.
"This is what the imperial doctor ordered. He said that the eldest son should be padded with something light first, and then he can drink the medicine."
Song Wei nodded and sat aside, watching the maid serve Song Ming and finish a bowl of porridge.
"Brother, how do you plan to handle the matter in Feng County?"
Song Ming also heard about the Feng County Farm incident from his servants, and he was a little angry at this time. After coughing twice, he said: "That Cheng Jingzhou is too unkind. I have been sick these days, and I have not been able to spare my hands for a while. I came and went to dispose of those properties. I didn’t expect him to take advantage of the loophole.”
Song Wei frowned, this was obviously his eldest brother's fault, why did he bite Magistrate Cheng back?
"Brother, it has been two months since the Holy Father issued the edict of Qingzhang. Why didn't you dispose of those properties before?"
Song Ming choked up. This question seemed to be on point.
"It's not that I don't want to deal with it, it's just that those properties were purchased by my father before. And you also know that we are not just focused on our own enjoyment. How many of the disabled veterans who followed my father in the early years were left alone after they retired? We If these properties are disposed of, how will these people be resettled?"
Song Wei looked suspicious. He did not agree with this statement.
Just considering that my eldest brother was still sick, I didn't talk back to him.
When Song Ming saw that he was silent, he just thought that he had fooled him, so he continued: "Nowadays, some of these disabled veterans have families to support, and some of them have no ability to farm. Tell me, what will happen to them?" what to do?"
"If this is really the case, then the eldest brother will have to go to the Fengxian County Government Office."
Song Ming looked disdainful: "Going to Feng County? Is that Cheng Jingzhou? Is he worthy?"
It can be heard that he looks down on people very much.
Song Wei clenched his fists and almost gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, he is a sixth-grade official. You and I are both white. In front of him, even if he forces us to kneel down, it will be done!"
Song Ming's face looked ugly. Song Wei's words were obviously reminding him that you have no right to look down on a sixth-grade official.
