The next morning, just after the dawn, these officials all screamed. One person drank a bowl of bad rice porridge and the side dishes they ate yesterday, so they had to help with things. They couldn't do a little technical work, and the villagers also Without expecting them to do it, let them carry water.
There is a blister in the mountain, about a mile away from the village, where there is water, water flowing down from it, rainwater, and a small spring over there, so that the people in the village will not run out of water, and there are no people in the village to grow rice. Wheat, millet, and sorghum.
There are also many vegetable plots. The price of the vegetables is cheap, and the money can be exchanged quickly. One crop one crop after another, some are picked and sold by the strong laborers in the village. They take another route. Apart from these, I don’t know. No one would be stupid enough to go through so many mountains, and no one would buy some salt, oil and other things when they got the money.
Life is a bit difficult, but it’s not enough to eat chaff all day. There is also a small mill in the village, which reclaims land in the mountains and grows soybeans. You can occasionally eat soy products. Most beans are taxed. The wasteland that was opened, the county magistrate Cheng knew about it, but it was not in the register, leaving some spare money for the villagers.
During the Chinese New Year, the county magistrate Cheng also brought things from Zhangjiazhuangzi to this side. Therefore, the villagers do whatever he arranges. The villagers don’t care how old you are, what grade, who treats him well, he It’s up to anyone. When other people can’t see it, I’m very respectful to Majesty Cheng. I even boiled the bath water last night. Before I got up in the morning for others to eat, I fryed two brownies for Majesty Cheng. The eggs are sprinkled with sugar.
The county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang ate two fried eggs in one bite and one bite. After eating for a full quarter of an hour, he felt that the taste was even better than the signature dishes of the three restaurants in the county. He waited until he was finished to greet others, and it was time to work. , I also want to make myself bribes, dream, the hospitality meals are gone, whoever does the work will eat.
The officials’ jobs were arranged by the villagers, ranging from far to near, from light to heavy. At noon, they ate directly at the place where they were working. Someone gave it to them. A group of officials changed their clothes and started gritting their teeth. Yesterday After walking for so long, all of them felt sore in their backs and legs, and they had to insist. The two servants didn't say anything, which was their turn.
The two government officials did not do this, saying that they were going back to fetch money and get things, so they quietly left with Zhou Yu and Zhou Xihu who had been assigned to do the work. Zhou Yu was going to Zhangjiazhuangzi to discuss some things, and thanked them, and came back two days later. Only then will the Yamen return here with them and bring some food.
As for the money that has been given, the money paid by the county, the food that the officials eat, and the worst is money. The people in the village do not lack this little labor and can do things on their own, why bother to find someone to do it
"Come out, I finally came out." Zhou Yu said comfortably looking at the scenery outside the mountain.
"My lord, your car will be here soon, and those who followed my lord have been persuaded to go back, saying that the adults should have a good rest here for two days and be entertained, so there is no need to worry that they will come by themselves." The yaman who came to wait in the county reported to Zhou Yan.
"Oh, that's good, An Ran is also over there, who is in charge of the county?" Zhou You understood now, no wonder when he came, the county specially looked for some handlebars to drive the car, and followed the state. Some people who came were persuaded to go back, and worried that there would be trouble if the yamen lacked the master.
The government officer replied respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord, the county has the master book and the county lieutenant in charge. These are trivial matters. There will be Zhou Gongzi in Sanshui County, and there will be no major issues. Except for the master book, Master Zhao is unwilling to say anything. Apart from that, the others are all friendly, no one is hindered."
Zhou Yu is his own, so the Ya Yai said more.
Zhou You didn't say anything this time, don't worry, his car was also coming over at this time, and Ya Ya riding on the horse's head to lead the way, and the figures of several people disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
…
The strong wind passed, and the people of Gejiazhuangzi were still helping the seedlings. Some of the unusable ones were simply thrown away. The owner finally did something to protect the farmers. After two days, the seedlings replenished by the owner will be seeded by the owner. Listen It was said that the three-turned seed was used to exchange the seedlings that did not fall, and the farmers were very happy one by one.
The people from Zhang Wang’s family and Zhuangzi also inspected the ground, picked out the few seedlings that could not resist the wind, separated a few from other dense areas, and moved them to see which one is stronger, write it down, and wait. When harvesting in autumn, there are many grains that are picked up, and if they are still big, they should be kept for seeding.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rode out and strolled out to see the Zhuanghu's happy expression at the rice seedlings. They also followed the happy expressions. From time to time, they responded with the child's expression and tone to the person who said hello.
"Father, how do I look at the little son and the little lady and I feel like this rice seedling. They are bigger than other children at this age, and their arms and legs are chubby, white and tender, and they can withstand the gale. ."
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had greeted them, left, a ten-year-old child next to the adult looked at the little son who was going away and talked to his father.
"Don't talk nonsense, how can the little son and the little lady compare to the rice seedlings? Let me hear you say that, and the big ear scraper will be used for you." When the father taught the child, he squatted down and looked at the one plant near him. The young seedling who shielded the other rice seedlings from the wind narrowed their eyes.
"Oh, I don't dare to say anymore, but I still think so." The child agreed, but did not change his mind.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stopped when they arrived at Xiaoqiao, looking at the construction site that was still under construction, expecting it to be completed soon.
"Xiaobao, wait for Zhou Xihu's uncle to come over and discuss a few things? We can't tell him in person, think about it first, don't go wrong by then." Wang Juan got out of the car and saw that the front was completely broken. Asked the flowing river.
"It should be three. First is the long-term plan for some business cooperation with Zhou Xihu, the second is to let him help bring a reputation to the restaurant here, and the third is to ask him if someone took action when the country was hit by a disaster. Help, if there are any rewards in the state, he doesn't know what he wants to talk about. It is estimated that he will want to meet the two masters of Zhangjiazhuang.
Song Jinggong proposed more than once that the county magistrate Cheng wanted to approve a teacher. Some people would be curious about this aspect, whether they saw it or not. If they saw it, someone had to pass news back and forth from the middle. It is necessary to seek the opinions of experts and ask sensitive questions. "
Zhang Xiaobao sat in the car, put his elbow on the handlebar in front of him, and replied after a while in thought.
"I think I will see you then and listen to his thoughts so that I can understand him better." Wang Juan suggested.
"Okay, let people pass the word back and forth at that time." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.
…
At four quarters after Shenshi, a car rushed over from the distance of Tuqiao Village. Three horses pulled up a horse and swung up all the smoke. The horse looked exhausted and ran until it entered Gejiazhuangzi. The road was a bit difficult to drive. Use the momentum to slow down.
Zhou Xihu and his uncle were also bumpy in the car. As soon as the car slowed down, they stopped directly. He and his uncle got out of the car and walked over. When he first got in the car, he still wanted to eat something, but his uncle said something. It is said that it takes a time to get to the Yamen from here, and a lot of time there. The two people got some delay in coming out of the village in the morning. If they walk slowly, they will be able to get there at night.
When I get to the place at night, I can't talk about things. I can only wait for tomorrow. It also depends on when they get up. If the two masters have the habit of sleeping in, they have to wait, which will take an extra day.
Therefore, the cart was rushing all the way, and thanks to the good horses, I was exhausted by replacing it with a normal cart.
After getting out of the car, the two of them drank some water first, and let the handlebars go to set up the horses. There should be a servant to accompany him. The servants also jumped off the horse and handed the horse to the handlebars. The three of them were slowly bumping. Feeling uncomfortable, he walked to the Zhuangzi of Zhangwang Family.
At the moment they are still in the place of Gejiazhuangzi. As Sicang joined the army, Zhou Zheng was in charge of taxation in the state, and was responsible for warehousing. Whether tax reduction or exemption depends on the local disaster situation. Since they are here, of course it is better. Good look.
He asked the servant to take a field road. After the three people turned around the two houses that blocked the view, a large paddy field appeared in front of them, and there were others busy in it. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if they were picking things out of the field. .
"Could the river here stop running?" Zhou Zheng hadn't inquired about the fields here, so he asked.
"It was broken. It was broken a few days ago. The upstream villages have led the water to their own fields. There is a small river here. This place is called Gejiazhuang. The water used is drawn from the two villages of Zhangwang. When there was no drought, Zhangwang’s two villagers had stored water in six large ponds and seven wells had been dug. Now Zhangwang’s two villagers have ten wells and Gejiazhuang has three."
The yavier stood by to clarify the confusion. When he talked about the Zhuangzi of the Zhang Wangs family, his tone was respectful. Not only was the Zhang Wangs chuangzi powerful, but also people took care of them, and if they had something on weekdays, he sent them to the yamen. Distributed to everyone, his family still has fungus that he didn't want to eat. The wife is pregnant, so she fries a little every time she wants to eat it.
Every time I ate, my daughter-in-law said softly that she had found a capable husband, the child has a great father, and can eat fresh cucumbers in winter, and the fungus of big families can also be eaten at home. For a man Speaking, what could be more glorious than this.
A few days ago, I didn’t know who Zhangjiazhuang had heard. My daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, and Song Gongzi alone gave me some tofu skin and hot sauce, a small jar of ten years old vinegar and a bag of sugar. Soak the tofu skin and cut it into pieces with hot water. Mix with sugar and vinegar. It is sweet and sour. If you want to eat spicy food, put hot sauce.
When it was the envious eyes of other government officials, and the smiling face of the daughter-in-law after returning home, which one didn't make his face shine? Don't say it's a good thing, and if you see someone killing someone, you have to turn your head and treat it as if you haven't seen it.
