Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

Cheng Ling's strength has greatly increased in recent times. This strength not only refers to personal force, but also refers to the comprehensive strength she possesses.

Yongzhou City suffered a great disaster, with huge losses in all aspects. That's not a good thing, but it's undeniable that a lot of spots have been opened up because of these losses.

The store is just a matter of paying off, the key is the land!

In today's world, people rarely have private land. Those who own land are like an inverted pyramid.

Aristocratic families control the majority, followed by ordinary officials and small landowners.

Ordinary businessmen rarely own a large amount of land. It's not that they don't have money, but even if they have money, they have nowhere to buy land!

This time Cheng Ling took the opportunity to buy two small and medium-sized villages. One was in Wuhe Village, 20 miles west of the city. It had 500 acres of mountainous land, 300 acres of upper fields, and 200 acres of middle and lower fields, totaling 1,000 acres. .

Another village, Guohe Village, thirty miles south of the city, has a total of 600 acres of land, most of which is river beach land, so it is cheaper.

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

In addition, Cheng Ling's medical skills spread to a small extent among the officials of Yongzhou Prefecture.

She revived the dying Governor Zhu Peng, and she also had some excellent and effective medicines on hand. In addition, her temperament is both moderate and unrestrained. Most of the people she works with naturally become friends with her after getting along with her.

Networking in this area is also a kind of power. It can be big or small, depending on how you use it.

Of course, Cheng Ling is not a snowflake, and it is impossible for everyone to like her. If she is friends with her, there will naturally be people who dislike her.

For example, Dong Yang, the former subordinate officer of the chief secretary, was always a bit strange when getting along with Cheng Ling. Sometimes when Cheng Ling asked him to do something, he would refuse and find various reasons not to cooperate.

Cheng Ling's response was very simple and crude. When she received another refusal from the other party, she suddenly reached out and grabbed a cast iron token from the other party's waist.

Cheng Ling's hand speed was as fast as lightning. Unfortunately, Dong Yang was a real civil servant, so how could he avoid Cheng Ling's hand?

"You..." Dong Yang just said this word.

Just listen to a "pop" sound.

Cheng Ling held the token with one hand and pressed it lightly with his thumb. The refined token made of pig iron was broken by Cheng Ling with one hand!

Dong Yang had a breath stuck in his throat. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it back. For a moment, he was like a quail that had its neck strangled. It was as pitiable as it was ridiculous.

Dong Yang's face was burning when he heard Cheng Ling say: "The token is broken. This is the value card. Mr. Dong, can you tell me, what should I do?"

Dong Yang said aggrieved and angrily: "Master Cheng, you broke the token. You are the one who should be troubled if you destroy public property so casually!"

Cheng Ling said: "Really? Mr. Dong, please don't talk nonsense. This is obviously Mr. Dong's token. Mr. Dong didn't carry it with him, but it was broken by me, Cheng. What's the reason? What's the reason? Mr. Dong Maybe you can explain it?"

Before Dong Yang could reply, Cheng Ling suddenly lowered his voice and his eyes sharpened at this moment.

She said: "Master Dong, don't force me to use methods outside the rules!"

After finishing his words, Cheng Ling threw out the two broken tokens again.

There were only two sounds of snatching, and the tokens were like meteors, one after another, embedded tightly on the floor at Dong Yang's feet.

Dong Yang was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back, and his face, which had been red from suppressing it, turned pale again.

Cheng Ling stopped talking anymore and turned around to concentrate on his own affairs.

In fact, as a Shangguan, if Cheng Ling really wants to punish Dong Yang, she has thousands of ways to use soft knives to sharpen people. But that's unnecessary, it can be simple and crude, and who can bear with intrigues?

What is the purpose of practicing martial arts diligently? Isn't it just that when you feel aggrieved, you can simply stop feeling aggrieved?

As for whether this would arouse Dong Yang's deeper resentment, Cheng Ling was not afraid.

If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Everyone depends on their ability.

In addition, there is one thing worth mentioning.

That is, the imperial court's decree regarding this incident of the Ghost Heroes' robbery of the city was finally conveyed on the seventh day after the incident.

An urgent messenger of eight hundred miles rushed from Yongzhou to the capital, and another batch of urgent messengers of eight hundred miles rushed from the capital to Yongzhou.

As expected, the Holy Edict gave Luo Ping severe warnings.

But I don’t know if it’s because someone in the capital worked for Luo Ping, or because although Yongzhou was robbed, fortunately the city was not lost, or it may be because the main leaders of the Guiying people were captured by King Fuyang Got——

In short, although Luo Ping was reprimanded, his official position was still there.

The prince is still the prince, but his official rank has been temporarily lowered by two levels, and he has been fined one year's salary.

Overall, it's a bit bleak. It's a big loss of face but a small injury to the inside.

Supervisor Zhu Peng also remained in his original position. He even got a batch of imperial medicinal materials for comfort.

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

Luo Ping can basically be said to have the military and political power in Yongzhou.

Although Zhu Peng had constraints on him, Zhu Peng had no soldiers or people. Except for the right to directly reach Tianting, he did not need to bear as big a responsibility as Luo Ping when facing the city robbery accident.

On the seventh day, Luo Ping was publicly ordered by the imperial edict from the capital, which greatly hurt his face.

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

After Cheng Ling finished class, he was going to go to Gangfang City for a walk.

In Fangshi, Cheng Ling also purchased a new shop.

The new shop is not far from Jingjiao Pavilion, about fifty meters away. The shop is smaller than Jingjiao Pavilion, but the location is not inferior to Jingjiao Pavilion, and it can even be said to be better.

Cheng Ling recorded the shop in Mu Sanniang's name. How the shop will be run in the future will also be controlled by Mu Sanniang.

However, after all, Yongzhou City had just suffered a disaster, and it would take some time for its entire business atmosphere to recover. Cheng Ling didn't even plan to open the Jingqiao Pavilion in a short time, so there was no rush for this new shop.

When she went to the port, her main purpose was not to see her own shop, but to see how other merchants in the port were recovering.

This time, Cheng Ling saw another surprise.

However, it is said that due to the robbery of Yongzhou Port, the sea area around the port was closed for a short period of time. At this time, the port city was generally depressed.

There are fewer merchants coming from the seaside, but more people are coming overland from the north, south, and west.

In Gangfangfang City, there are many more street stalls that were relatively rare in the past.
