Yanggu County
Wu Song had already become a celebrity.
It wasn't because he had beaten the tiger, but because he had become the first scorer. This was a major event that everyone in the surrounding villages was paying attention to.
Especially when the current prime minister personally appointed Master Top Scorer.
The meaning was even more different.
This was also Zeng Bu's intention. He wanted Wu Song to leave his mark on him so that in the future, Wu Song would be more closely bound to him.
There were pros and cons.
Zeng Bu could help Wu Song achieve rapid promotion, but at the same time, Wu Song would be bound to Zeng Bu, and he could no longer change his appearance.
Soon, Wu Song's name spread everywhere.
Everyone scrambled to take action. They naturally had their own thoughts.
Wu Song also enjoyed a treatment that was even more superior than Fan Jin.
The most excited ones were the landlords of Yanggu County. They were a little disappointed when they heard that Wu Song was from Qinghe County. However, after asking around, they found out that Wu Song lived in Yanggu County temporarily and had a good brother there.
The landlords of Yanggu County couldn't hold it in any longer. Without saying much, they directly gave gifts!
Most of them were similar to Zhang Shou Chu, and each of them was a land lord, yet they didn't have many achievements.
Naturally, he couldn't be careless when giving gifts to the High Scholar, especially since the High Scholar this time was Zeng Bu's disciple.
Because of this, this High Scholar had to be treated differently from the other High Scholars.
However, there was an endless stream of people coming and going from Yanggu County, constantly coming and going to the Hua family estate.
They gave away their fields, maids, and shops.
Pan Jinlian looked at the thin pieces of paper every day. They were all land deeds, and each piece represented a vast field.
A thousand acres of fertile land had completely fallen into Wu Song's hands.
Counting every day.
It was a total of 5,000 mu of fertile land.
Back then, she had become a servant girl of a rich family. These things made her afraid.
Now, they were all sent to Wu Song as if they did not care about their lives.
As for why these landowners were so generous, Wu Song knew very well.
There were two things that gave people headaches in the Song Dynasty. The first was taxes. The taxes were terrifyingly heavy. The lower the level, the more pitiful it was. As a landlord, the taxes he had to bear every year were not light either. Landlords were rich, but the richer they were, the more stingy they were. Taxes were equivalent to robbing money from their hands for nothing, and they were definitely unwilling. Therefore, they always thought of some unorthodox ways to avoid taxes, at least to lower them.
One of the most effective methods was to curry favor with the people in the officialdom.
The other thing was the corvee. The Juren could help exempt them from the corvee. Although there was a quota, it was still necessary to build a good relationship.
Of course, the most important thing was that Wu Song was Zeng Bu's student.
The student of the current prime minister was now a Juren and would become a Jinshi in the future. It was not impossible for him to become a general or prime minister.
Now, he had to build a good relationship.
In the future…
This was the reason why they were so eager to give gifts. It was not that they did not feel bad about the real estate, but that they could use the production capacity of these lands to exchange for greater benefits.
Wu Song was not stupid. If he dared to give it to him, he would accept it. He did not reject anyone and accepted them all.
This was all legal.
It was a rule of the Song Dynasty.
However, Wu Song also understood that if he couldn't improve further, today's glory would be his disaster tomorrow.
Behind this large-scale gift-giving activity was the dispute between the landlords of Yanggu County and Qinghe County.
It was not easy for Qinghe County to produce a High Scholar, and they were eagerly waiting for Wu Song to return. Unexpectedly, Wu Song did not come back after he left and stayed in Yanggu County.。
Wu Song decided to live in Yanggu County for three reasons.
Firstly, with Hua Zixu here, they could help each other. This person was quite familiar with the officialdom. With him by his side, he could take fewer detours. As for Qinghe County, he did not have any relatives except for Wu Dalang. It was not worth it for him to stay here.
The second reason was that Yanggu County was richer and more prosperous. Its economy was developed and it was also an important location for transportation.
Thirdly, Wu Song was too lazy. He only felt that it was too troublesome to go back to Qinghe County. Anyway, he would be going to the capital soon, and this place was closer.
Wu Dalang did not object to Wu Song's decision.
When he came to Yanggu County, before Wu Song could make a move, someone had already arranged a residence for him, and he had moved into a spacious house.
The place where Wu Song was staying was Hua Zixu's house.
The Hua family was next door to this house.
Hua Zixu intentionally pulled Wu Song into his relationship.
Wu Song was quite satisfied with the layout of the house.
What he pursued was simplicity. He didn't need to spend too much effort. Wu Dalang's house was next door, and it was also separate. Now that Wu Song was married and living together, it was a little inconvenient.
However, Wu Song remembered a detail about the Golden Lotus.
He still remembered that this courtyard seemed to belong to Ximen Qing.
In " The Plum in the Golden Vase," the person who lived next door to Hua Zixu was Ximen Qing.
When they were moving, Wu Song glanced at Li Ping 'er beside him and remembered the details in the original novel. The two families were separated by a wall. Ximen Qing would seduce Li Ping' er, climb the ladder in the middle of the night, and then do something inappropriate for children.
Thinking about it, it still felt a little ridiculous.
However, he had to admit that Li Ping 'er was indeed a stunning beauty.
At the very least, it really made people crave her body.
People were in high spirits when they had a joyous occasion. After Wu Song became the Top Scorer, Pan Jinlian followed suit and became the wife of the Top Scorer.
Now, she was radiant. She did not expect that she was also a madam now.
Wu clan was bustling for a few days before Wu Song started to close the door and reject guests.
"Brother, in September this year, I will be going to the Kaifeng Prefecture to take the exam. Now, in the court, Prime Minister Zeng is taking care of me. If I can advance further, my Wu family might be able to become a prime minister and glorify the family!”
Wu Dalang was also quite excited.”
Wu Song continued," However, many people have sent me shops and properties these days. I want to study, so I have to trouble you to arrange it. Although Hua Zixu can help a lot, he is still an outsider!"”
"I understand!" Wu Dalang nodded.”
Wu Songyou looked at Pan Jinlian and said," Now, you are my wife. The rules of this house are indeed for you to decide. The mansion, the house, the whole house, big and small, all need you to deal with them. You need to show the attitude of a mistress!”
"Understood!" Pan Jinlian said happily.
Wu Song looked at Pan Jinlian again. He knew that her fate had changed.
But…
Forget it, forget it!
Wu Song shook his head." I have to prepare for the exams during this period of time. I'll take the exams in September and take a gamble here!"!”
