Chapter 580 Mountain
Although Qiao Ran didn't know that this jade pendant could also be used as a gold medal to avoid death, she also knew that it was a personal item given by the Supreme Emperor, not to mention that it was a dragon-shaped jade pendant. It was definitely a good treasure that money could not buy.
Such a good baby, she would be a fool if she refused!
She thanked her again, and then carefully put the jade pendant into the small cloth bag she always carried with her, actually placing it in the space.
Just kidding, a fragile object like a jade pendant is of course the safest to leave in space!
The Supreme Emperor felt even more cheerful when he saw that the little girl accepted this jade pendant with great symbolic significance without any hesitation.
He likes this girl's temperament!
He turned to Mo Beihan and said:
"Han'er, you go to the government office later and tell me that it is my will to transfer all the land deeds of the two mountains where Devil's Valley belongs to Qiao Yatou. From now on, that place will be the private property of the Qiao family. No one can covet it!”
Mo Beihan had a bright smile on his face and immediately agreed:
"Okay, my grandnephew will go there later!"
The Supreme Emperor said to Qiao Ran again:
"Little girl, since you don't want to be a high-ranking official or open a medical clinic, and just like to accompany your family at home to farm and raise fish, then I will give you the two mountains around your village. You shouldn't be able to do this. Did you refuse?"
Qiao Ran didn't expect that she would be so rich after she took the initiative to save an old man who suddenly fell ill just out of unbearability.
The two mountains in Devil's Valley are not two small mountains, they are a large mountainous area stretching for dozens of miles!
Give yourself all that big mountain land? Those are all treasures!
Naturally, Qiao Ran would not refuse this reward.
She gave her a blessing gift sincerely and accepted it happily: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for the gift! The daughter of the people is extremely grateful!"
The Supreme Emperor laughed and said, "Don't be too busy thanking me now. After I return to the palace, I will definitely have people send other rewards to Devil's Valley."
When Qiao Ran heard that there were other rewards, they must be gold, silver and jewelry, she smiled even more happily.
Now it's good, I have received a reward from the Supreme Emperor, and I will have a clear idea of how much money I will spend in the future.
Qiao Ran didn't expect that Mo Beihan and the Supreme Emperor would be so efficient.
The next morning, the reward from the palace was delivered to his home.
In addition to the title deeds to the two mountains, there are also several carriages of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and satin.
Not only the Qiao family, but all the people of Qingshui Village knelt in the open space in front of the tent area to receive the order. Only Qiao Ran, who had received permission from the Supreme Emperor not to kneel down, stood alone.
The imperial edict was drafted by the Supreme Emperor, and the person who came to announce the edict was Eunuch Gao, the adopted son of Eunuch De, the eunuch in charge.
Eunuch Gao took a deep look at the girl surnamed Qiao who was still standing. As a great eunuch who often went out to announce decrees, he knew very well that there were less than five people in the whole country who could get permission from the royal family without having to kneel down. .
I didn’t expect that a mere farm girl would receive such an honor.
Hiding the emotions in his eyes, clearing his throat, Eunuch Gao unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read it loudly.
For these villagers who could not read a single Chinese character, they were only half-understandable to the elaborate contents of the imperial edict.
After the imperial edict was read out, everyone was still a little confused when they stood up. It was Sun Xiucai who explained the content of the imperial edict, and then everyone realized that Qiao Ran had actually saved the Supreme Emperor!
Moreover, the Supreme Emperor not only rewarded Qiao Ran with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk, but also gave Qiao Ran the two mountains stretching for dozens of miles where the Devil's Valley is located.
In other words, from now on, the Devil's Valley where they are located, and the ten-mile mountainous area that was originally allocated by the government to the people of Qingshui Village, now all belongs to Qiao Ran alone!
The people of Qingshui Village didn't know what to think for a moment. The mountainous land that they originally thought could be divided among each family no longer belongs to them.
If Qiao Ran was unhappy and drove them out of the valley, there was nothing they could do, because this was their private property.
Everyone in the Qiao family was extremely happy, but many villagers looked at Qiao Ran with complicated eyes.
After Qiao Ran finished reading the imperial edict to Eunuch Gao, she was going to invite him into her tent for a cup of tea.
But Eunuch Gao looked at these ugly tents made of rough linoleum cloth and had no interest in going inside.
Seeing the look of disgust on Eunuch Gao's face, Qiao Ran knew that he didn't want to enter the linoleum tent that looked like a slum to Eunuch Gao.
Qiao Ran smiled lightly, took out a small purse containing ten taels of silver from her body, and sent the man away.
Eunuch Gao didn't expect that this peasant girl was quite capable of doing things. He felt the size of the money in his purse, nodded with satisfaction, and left with the others.
After sending away the eunuch who announced the decree, Qiao Ran was about to let her second uncle and third uncle move the rewards into the tent. When she turned around, she found that many pairs of eyes were looking at her.
Thinking of the content of the imperial edict just now and seeing everyone's worries, Qiao Ran gave everyone a reassurance:
"Don't worry, folks. Although these two mountains are in my name, the paddy fields and mountainous land reclaimed by us belong to everyone. We can also reclaim the mountainous land originally allocated to us by the government and plant crops and fruit trees. No matter what happens in the future, No matter what, I will not take back your fields, so you can farm with peace of mind."
The old village chief trusted Qiao Ran very much. When he heard Qiao Ran's words, he stood up and said to the uneasy villagers:
"Don't worry, everyone! What kind of person is Ran Yatou? Haven't you all known enough for so long? If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to reach Zhongzhou safely, and we wouldn't be assigned such a good place as Devil's Valley. The place to settle down. Now that Devil Valley and the forest belong to Ran Yatou, in fact, everyone should be more happy. In this way, in the future, we don’t have to worry about anyone coveting such a good land that we have reclaimed. As long as you don’t fight against Ran Yatou, you will definitely You can always live in Devil's Valley. You just need to remember that this place belongs to Ran Yatou. From now on, just listen to Ran Yatou's words, cultivate your own land well, and don't do anything premature."
When everyone heard what the old village chief said, they felt that it really made sense.
Everyone has heard before that the Devil's Valley is not far from the capital. Such a large valley would have been occupied by the nobles of the capital's aristocratic families if not for the miasma forest.
Everyone was also worried that if the powerful people in the capital knew that the miasma in Devil's Valley was gone and it had become a large valley without threats, there would definitely be people coveting this good place and trying to find a way to get rid of these useless people. The powerless mud-legged ones were driven away.
Now it's great. This valley, including the two mountains next to it, was gifted to Qiao Ran by the emperor. Those in the capital no longer dare to think about it, right?
As long as they don't go against Qiao Ran in the future, she will definitely not drive them out based on her kind and generous temperament.
It means that they have actually been protected by Qiao Ran, and they can now settle down, farm and thrive in this valley with peace of mind.
The villagers who figured it out had happy smiles on their faces again.
They would never go against Qiao Ran, and would obediently follow her to make a fortune. How could they seek death and provoke Ran Yatou to kick them out?
