After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

"Sir, I have a request from a civilian woman." When everyone was watching with great joy, Xu Mengxiao, the miserable victim, suddenly spoke up.

"Can you use the new law to give my third uncle a chance to take the scientific examination?"

She wanted Zihan to avenge his grievances in person, otherwise it would be too unpleasant to deprive Xu Shengjie of his qualifications for the imperial examination.

Ordinarily, if an immediate family member committed a serious crime, Xu Shengjie would never be able to participate in the imperial examination.

However, there is a new law in this dynasty. If you are under the age of fifteen, you can get a chance to take the scientific examination.

If you fail to pass the exam this time, unlike others, there are countless opportunities. As long as you are over fifteen years old, you will be completely stripped of your qualifications.

In other words, Xu Shengjie, who is only thirteen years old now, can still take the Children's Student Examination next year, but even if he can pass the exam, he will still lose his qualifications for the scientific examination when he turns fifteen.

And even if he goes smoothly, he will only be able to become a scholar in the end. After all, the provincial examination is held every three years. After three years, he will have already passed his fifteenth birthday.

This is also done to prevent the descendants of criminals from entering the officialdom.

In the final analysis, a scholar could not do much, and as a descendant of a criminal, he would be directly deprived of a series of benefits of a scholar, such as not kneeling before the magistrate, exemption from labor and taxes, etc.

In other words, even if Xu Shengjie worked hard to pass the exam, it would only be a false name and others would not respect him at all.

Isn't this a kind of revenge that hits the soul!

Zhou didn't know the twists and turns, but was awakened by Xu Mengxiao's words, and said hurriedly: "My son is innocent! The bad things were all done by us and have nothing to do with him. Please forgive me, poor man." He has been studying for so many years, give him a chance!"

And they all firmly believed that Xu Shengjie would definitely pass the exam. Once he passed the exam and became an official in the future, wouldn't they be saved?

For a moment, Su Xiuhe and Boss Xu started to count on him, kowtowing and begging for mercy. Even if their buttocks were opened and blood flowed like water, they still had to leave a little hope for their own lives.

Xu Ruyi didn't believe that Xu Mengxiao would be so kind. This damn bitch might try another way to torture their family in order to satisfy her perverted and vicious desire for revenge.

If Xu Mengxiao knew what she was thinking, he might applaud her and praise her for what she said. After doing so many bad things, didn't they deserve her revenge?

In the end, Magistrate Duan relented. After all, it was the victim who made the request in person, and the court had relevant laws in this regard, so he just acted according to the laws.

However, when Xu Shengjie learned that although he was still qualified for the imperial examination, passing the examination was no different than not passing the examination. He would not get any benefits, and he would not be able to become an official through examination in the future. He immediately burst into tears.

When he had cried enough and was heartbroken, thinking that he still had another chance, he immediately drank blood with hatred, "Then, I will use this opportunity to make Xu Zihan completely stop the imperial examination and become even more miserable than me!"

He took out the bet he had signed with Xu Zihan and looked at it for a long time. He studied hard and with hatred and the determination to pull people into trouble, he actually worked a hundred times harder than before.

Xu Zihan knew that his second sister was fighting for him, so he was very motivated. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he read and practiced calligraphy. Even in his dreams, he was reading the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics.

At this time, another big trouble was solved in Fucheng, and Xu Mengxiao happily took Uncle Li Zheng to their Taoyuan Township for dinner.

Although it is already evening, the night market in Fucheng is always lively. At night, lanterns are lit and the lights are bright. Taoyuan Township is like the brightest night pearl among them, with people coming and going, so lively.

Lu Lizheng was dazzled by what he saw, having dealt with a bunch of silverfish in Old Xu's family. He was also sincerely relieved and happy, and kept asking a few people about what happened here.

If Xu Mengxiao and the others just came to eat, they might not even be able to get a seat. No, she showed her identity as a family member and had her own private room for them.

After eating, Xu Mengxiao gave him the 200 taels of dividends from Taoyuan Township in the town, "Dad, I have some money now and I plan to do something. Do you have any ideas? Maybe I can do something in Yunxi In the town, if you can help the villagers below, do so."

Lu Lizheng, who originally wanted her to save the money, started to think about it seriously. It was not that he favored outsiders, but that he knew that Xiao Yatou might have some mutually beneficial ideas.

"The people in the village told me about this, but I don't tolerate them. It's your uncle Qian and his village who also helped us a lot with building houses. In addition to the people in Lihua Village, the people under Yunxi Town Many villages are very poor, and many families cannot take the blame. Some are old and some are young. Life is miserable, and many people have a lot of energy but nowhere to put it to use."

Lu Lizheng was naturally not idle these days. As soon as he was promoted to mayor, the new official took office three times.

"Actually, I haven't thought about what I want to do, but I can buy a few villages and rent some farmers to help, but I have to grow other things. In addition, I can open a workshop so that the villagers can help out during their spare time and earn some extra money. .”

This is not only doing his own business, but also helping those poor people. It can also add to Uncle Li Zheng's "political achievements", and he may go further in the future.

Lu Lizheng knew that she intended to do this, so he secretly kept an eye out for any good things that could be used to open a workshop.

Immediately, his expression was shocked, "You said Zhuangzi, I think of a nice place!"

"There is an abandoned Zhuangzi just over there in Yangnan Village. You can go to Yahang and ask about it to see if it is still there. There are paddy fields, dry land, soil slopes, and river ponds where you can grow grain and raise crops. Chickens, ducks, and ready-made rows of houses are mostly new and can be used by tenants to live temporarily. They were all left by the previous owner's family. Since they moved away, they were resold. The price is probably not low. Ours is There was another drought two years ago, so no one cared about it.”

Xu Mengxiao was very excited when he heard this, and guessed that the price must not be as high as usual, "What is the approximate price?"

"An ordinary Zhuangzi of this size costs more than a thousand taels. There, it's at least more than two thousand taels!"

Xu Mengxiao was speechless after hearing this. Although she had made a lot of money through her hard work, including last night's consultation fee, it was only 4,000 taels. As a result, it would cost more than 2,000 taels to buy a Zhuangzi.

"I'll go back and have a look. If it's suitable, this village might be of great use." She kept two thousand five hundred taels in case she wanted to buy it eventually.

Anyway, she would still make money in the future, and she had done a lot of business, so with the extra 1,500 taels, she planned to do other things.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it all night, Xu Mengxiao couldn't come up with any practical operation.

Until he got up the next day, Lu He seemed to be aware of her entanglement, "I can't think of it for the moment, so let's buy some shops and rent them out. The location in Luo City is good. In recent years, there have been more and more businessmen from other places. The prices of shops It’s rising day by day, and the rent is pretty good, so you can’t go wrong buying a shop.”

Xu Mengxiao sat up suddenly, "Yeah, how could I forget this!"

The two shops Mr. Chen gave her were making money for her, but she couldn't do it openly. Now that she had the chance to buy a shop, she would transfer them!
