Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

When Chu Tianjiao passed by Wusheng County in his previous life, he once found an empty bandit den near the mountain where Chu Tianjiao was going to dig iron ore.

But comparing the time, it should be seven or eight years later.

Because the army passed by, the bandits got the news and ran away. Chu Tianjiao led his people to suppress the bandits, leaving only an empty mountain stronghold.

It was because of this incident that a veteran of the Chu family army accidentally discovered that the mountain contained iron ore.

Guo Shun said that the people from Wusheng County were kidnapped by the Beihu people, but Chu Tianjiao didn't quite believe it.

Ganzhou also belongs to the Chu family's defense zone, and the Ganzhou garrison is also under the control of her father, Marquis Liyang. If there is something going on in Beihu, the Chu family cannot possibly not know about it.

There must be something fishy about this.

Chu Tianjiao's eyes turned cold when he looked at Guo Shun.

Guo Shun also realized that he had made a mistake.

What he faced was not the idle Shangguan officials from Ganzhou Prefecture, but the Chu family who controlled the entire northwest defense line.

If you tell the Chu family that there have been bandits in their defense area, but they don't know yet, they will definitely investigate further.

Cold sweat broke out on Guo Shun's back.

"It's over, it's over. I hope these two young children of the Chu family can't hear anything wrong."

Guo Shun prayed to God and worshiped Buddha in his heart.

He would say the wrong thing, partly because the Chu brothers and sisters arrived suddenly and he was unprepared.

On the other hand, it is because he usually does not have to deal with the Chu family who are in charge of the northwest military.

In order to control the Chu family's influence in the northwest, Emperor Chengzong adopted two teams in the northwest that were completely separated from military and political affairs.

Marquis Liyang also serves as the governor of the Northwest Road, and Chu Tianjiao's fourth uncle Chu Yan also serves as the governor of the Gansu-Shaanxi Road.

The two brothers control [-]% of the troops in the western defense zone.

The state pastors and county magistrates belong to the government affairs team and are directly responsible to the court. They usually do not need to report to the governors of the Northwest Province and Gansu-Shaanxi Province.

Ganzhou Prefecture only has some soldiers to maintain security within the territory.

The people Guo Shun said came to investigate and pursue the Beihu people were the soldiers from Ganzhou Prefecture.

If bandits appear in the local area, Ganzhou Prefecture is responsible for maintaining law and order, so there is no problem in coming forward.

But if it is a large group of bandits or a foreign enemy, it must be reported to the Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi Province, Chu Tianjiao's fourth uncle, Chu Yan.

Chu Yan would report what happened in the territory to Marquis Liyang every month. Since no one in the Chu family knew about it, it meant that Ganzhou had not reported any foreign invasion.

Even Chu Minyu realized the problem and started asking Guo Shun why.

Guo Shun had no choice but to make mistakes and continue to cheat.

He said that not many people from Beihu came, they only entered the city and robbed some shops, kidnapped a few women, and quickly retreated, so he reported to Ganzhou Prefecture first.

Even so, Chu Minyu reprimanded Guo Shun politely, which was not in line with the regulations.

Chu Tianjiao had been listening quietly and did not express an opinion.

They did not go to the county government office, but were led by Guo Shun to the newly built County Lord's Mansion, which now had a plaque changed to the Princess's Mansion.

The entire Wusheng County is Chu Tianjiao's fiefdom, and she can keep [-]% of the local tax revenue for herself.

It's a pity that Wusheng County is poor, and the annual tax revenue is not much at all, and it often even owes the court taxes.

Chu Tianjiao did not gain much, but she had the responsibility to manage Wusheng County well. If she owed taxes to the court, the court could also hold her accountable.

It was precisely because this was a barren land close to the border that Emperor Chengzong gave it to Chu Tianjiao so generously.

After entering the mansion, Guo Shun summoned the servants guarding the princess' mansion and introduced Chu Tianjiao.

There are not many servants, only about ten, who are mainly responsible for cleaning and guarding.

These people finally saw the real owner of the Princess Mansion, and they all knelt down to pay homage to Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Tianjiao asked clearly that these people were temporarily recruited after the princess's mansion was built, and their wages were paid by the court.

"I don't need outsiders in my house. If you want to stay in my house, go to Feng Jia to sign a deed of sale.

If you don't want to sell yourself, just leave on your own, and I will supplement everyone's wages for three months. "

Most of these servants were people from the city who did not want to sell themselves into slavery. They received the wages from Chu Tianjiao and left.

There was only one young boy who was willing to stay and sign the deed of sale.

"Princess, I am an orphan. As long as you are willing to take me in, I will do anything you want."

The boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slight limp, begged.

Chu Tianjiao accepted the child and named him Wu Jia.

When Feng Jia heard the name, she looked at the boy specifically. Their eyes collided. Wu Jia was shocked. Why did the eldest sister look sympathetic? Isn't it good to follow the princess?

Feng Jia: That's not the case. I just lamented that the way the eldest lady named her was as simple as ever.

Seeing Guo Shun waiting respectfully aside, Chu Tianjiao said:

"Please ask Magistrate Guo to send Wusheng County's account books, household registration and other information to the Princess's Mansion later."

Cold sweat broke out on Guo Shun's forehead again, feeling that his good days were finally over.

After Guo Shun said goodbye and left, the Fengzi team and the guards began to clean up the princess' mansion.

The imperial court still gave the Chu family face. Although it was in a poor place like Wusheng, the mansion built for Chu Tianjiao covered an area of ​​more than ten acres, including pavilions, pavilions, gardens and ponds.

It's just that it's winter now, and the flowers in the garden are withered, making it quite bleak.

Chu Tianjiao pointed to the garden and said to Feng Jia: "You arrange for people to level this garden and turn it into a playground with a horse track around it."

After Feng Jia received the order, he didn't feel anything strange.

The Chu family's house can be without a garden, but it cannot be without a place for martial arts training and horse racing.

Chu Tianjiao naturally occupied the main courtyard, and Chu Qingyan still lived in the same courtyard with her.

Chu Minyu lives alone in a courtyard.

Everyone was cleaning up, but Chu Qingyan was alone.

She ran to Chu Minyu's courtyard and saw that Chu Minyu had just taken off his armor and washed up, but refused to leave.

"Fourth sister, are you looking for me?"

Chu Minyu was always patient with his sister. He carried Chu Qingyan to a stool and sat down, and he began to pack his luggage.

Chu Qingyan wanted to cross her legs to make herself look more mature, but unfortunately her legs were too short and looked a bit nondescript.

"Second brother, what do you think of County Magistrate Guo?"

Chu Minyu took out a new purse from his baggage, held it in his hand and smiled silly.

After hearing Chu Qingyan's question, he replied casually: "He is a good person. He seems to be an upright official, but he is a little confused in his work."

Chu Qingyan looked at Chu Minyu's stupid look and knew that the purse in his hand must have been given by Wang Xingran.

"Second brother, can we make a bet? I bet this Guo Shun is definitely a corrupt official, or a ruthless corrupt official."

Chu Minyu was stunned when he heard this, hung his purse on his waist, shook his head and said: "How is that possible? Look at the official robe he was wearing, it was all in tatters and he was still wearing it.

The shoes on his feet are either official boots, or black cloth shoes worn by common people, with yellow mud on them. He must be an upright official. "

Chu Qingyan pointed to the purse on Chu Minyu's waist and said, "Then let's make a bet. The bet is the purse on your waist.

If you lose, the purse belongs to me.

If I lose, I will embroider one for you too. "

Chu Minyu was a little reluctant to part with the purse on his waist, so he covered it and asked, "Can you change the bet?"

Chu Qingyan rolled his eyes, "Then I'll exchange it for the working money that Jiaojiao gave you. If you lose, if you work in the future, the money will belong to me."

Chu Minyu thought, that's not possible. Even if the purse is given to the fourth sister, when the wife gets married, she can still be asked to embroider another one.

If the money is gone, I can't buy gifts for my wife.

Chu Minyu gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's put our money on the line!"
