Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms - Chapter 208

   Chapter 208 Not being envied is a mediocrity

  Cheng Ling’s strength has soared recently. This strength not only refers to personal force, but more to the comprehensive strength she possesses.

  Yongzhou City suffered a catastrophe, and the losses in all aspects were huge. That’s not a good thing, but it’s undeniable that because of these losses, many positions have been vacated.

   The shop is worth it, the focus is on the land!

  In today’s world, few people have private land, and the one who owns the land is an inverted pyramid.

  The aristocratic family holds the big head, followed by ordinary officials and small landlords.

  General merchants rarely own a lot of land, not because they have no money, but even if they have money, they have nowhere to buy land!

This time, Cheng Ling took the opportunity to buy two small villages, one in Wuhe Village 20 miles west of the city, with 500 acres of mountains, 300 acres of upper fields, and 200 acres of middle fields and lower fields, totaling 1,000 acres. .

   Another Guohe Village, 30 miles south of the city, has a total of 600 mu of land, most of which are river beaches, so it is relatively cheap.

   These two Zhuangzi almost emptied Cheng Ling’s small treasury, but the joy of owning the land still overshadowed everything.

   In addition, Cheng Ling’s medical skills spread among the officials of Yongzhou Prefecture on a small scale.

   She rescued the dying postmaster Zhu Peng, and she still has some excellent medicines with outstanding effects. In addition, her temperament is not only moderate in advance and retreat, but also has a dash of her own. After getting along with her, most of the people who work with her naturally get along with her.

   This kind of network is also a kind of power, it can be big or small, depending on how to use it.

   Of course, Cheng Ling is not a snowflake silver, and it is impossible for everyone to love her. If she has a good relationship with her, she will naturally dislike her.

  For example, the former head of the book, Dong Yang, the recorder, always had a bit of a yin and yang vibe when he got along with Cheng Ling. Sometimes when Cheng Ling asked him to do something, he also pushed back and resisted, and could find various reasons for not cooperating.

   Cheng Ling’s response was very simple and rude. When she received the other party’s uncooperative one time, she suddenly reached out and pulled a cast iron token from the other party’s waist.

  Cheng Ling’s hands are as fast as lightning. Poor Dong Yang is a real civil servant, how can he hide from Cheng Ling’s hand?

   “You…” Dong Yang only said such a word.

   only heard a “pop”.

  Cheng Ling held the token with one hand and pressed his thumb lightly on the top. This refined token made of pig iron was so abruptly broken by Cheng Ling with one hand!

  Dong Yang held a breath in his throat, he couldn’t spit it out, and he couldn’t swallow it back. For a time, he was like a quail with his neck strangled. It was as pitiful as it was ridiculous.

   Dong Yang’s face was burning as he heard Cheng Ling say: “The token is broken, this is a pair of cards in the value room, Mr. Dong, can you tell me, what should I do?”

   Dong Yang was aggrieved and annoyed: “Master Cheng, you broke the token, and you destroyed the public property so casually, you should be the one who should be distressed, right!”

Cheng Ling said: “Really? Master Dong, don’t talk nonsense, this is obviously Master Dong’s token, and Master Dong did not carry it with me, but I was interrupted by someone Cheng. What is the reason and why? Master Dong Can you explain it?”

   Without waiting for Dong Yang to reply, Cheng Ling suddenly lowered his voice, and his eyes suddenly sharpened at this moment.

   She said, “Master Dong, don’t force me to use means outside the rules!”

The voice of    fell, and Cheng Ling let go and threw the two disconnected tokens.

   Only heard Duduo twice, the tokens were like shooting stars, one after the other, firmly embedded on the floor beside Dong Yang’s feet.

  Dong Yang was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back, and his face that was flushed with suffocation turned white again.

   Cheng Ling stopped talking at this point, just turned his head and concentrated on his own affairs.

   In fact, as a Shangguan, if Cheng Ling really wanted to rectify Dong Yang, she had thousands of ways to sharpen people with a soft knife. But that is very unnecessary. It can be simple and rude, and who is patient with intrigue?

  What is the purpose of practicing martial arts? Isn’t the reason why you can simply not be aggrieved when you feel aggrieved?

   As for whether this would lead to deeper resentment from Dong Yang, Cheng Ling was not afraid.

  It is mediocre not to be envied by others.

   In addition, there is one more thing worth mentioning.

   That is the will of the imperial court regarding this incident of the ghost robbery of the city, which was finally conveyed on the seventh day after the incident.

   The 800-mile expedited courier flew from Yongzhou to the capital, and another batch of 800-mile expedited couriers flew from the capital to Yongzhou.

   As expected, the decree made a ruthless appeal to Luo Ping.

But I don’t know if it was because someone in the capital made a deal for Luo Ping, or it was because Yongzhou was robbed, but luckily the city was not lost, or because the main leaders of the Guiying people were all captured by the King of Fuyang now—

   In short, although Luo Ping was hired by Shen, his official position is still there.

  The lord of the house is still the lord of the house, but the official rank has been temporarily lowered by two levels, and he has been fined for a year.

   In general, it is also a bit dingy, it is a big loss to face, and a small injury to the inside.

   The postmaster Zhu Peng was still in place, and he even got a batch of imperial medicinal herbs for comfort.

   After all, his situation is very different from Luo Ping.

  Luo Ping was in Yongzhou, basically it can be said that he was seized by the military and political power.

   Although Zhu Peng has constraints on him, Zhu Peng has no soldiers and no one in his hands. In addition to the right to go straight to the sky, he does not need to take on the same responsibility as Luo Ping when facing the robbery accident.

   On the seventh day, Luo Ping was summoned by the capital to use the imperial decree in public, which greatly hurt his face.

   The air pressure in the entire government office was a little low, and Cheng Ling and other subordinate officials were released by Luo Ping early.

  Cheng Ling got ready to go for a walk in Port Square after class.

On the side of   fang City, Cheng Ling also bought a new shop.

  The new shop is not far from Jingqiao Pavilion, about 50 meters apart. The shop is smaller than Jingqiao Pavilion, but its location is not inferior to Jingqiao Pavilion, and it can even be said to be better.

  Cheng Ling put this shop in the name of Mu Sanniang, and how the shop will be managed in the future will also be led by Mu Sanniang.

   However, after all, Yongzhou City suffered a major disaster not long ago. It will take some time for its entire business atmosphere to recover. Cheng Ling does not even plan to open the exquisite pavilion in a short time, so this new store is not in a hurry.

   She went to the port, and the main purpose was not to see her own shop, but to see how other businesses in the port were recovering now.

After   , Cheng Ling saw another surprise.

   However, it was said that because of the robbery of Yongzhou Port, the sea area around the port was closed for a short period of time, and the port market at this time was generally somewhat depressed.

   Fewer merchants came from the sea, but more came from the north, south and west by land.

   There are also many street stalls that were relatively rare in the past.
