Dian Ci, the scribe in charge of the Dianshi room, was pretending to be gesticulating with a pile of books early in the morning, but he couldn't pretend to be there all day. Just relaxing, he suddenly noticed Ye Dianshi Looking at him, he couldn't help becoming nervous, and hurriedly spread out the book that had just been closed, and made a gesture of concentration.
Ye Xiaotian stared at him, and suddenly smiled: "Scribe."
Dianci quickly raised his head, and said in a panic, "Humble job is here!"
Ye Xiaotian said nonchalantly: "In addition to the cashier of Wenyi, I am also in charge of arrests and prison affairs. It's almost morning today, and there is still nothing related to arrests and prisons. Could it be that the law and order in this county has reached the point where you can't pick up lost things?"
Dianci said awkwardly: "Oh! This...not...cough! That's right, my lord, before you took office, the county magistrate issued an order, ordering that all judicial matters related to arrests, prisons, etc. must be reported to him. Without a warrant signed by the county magistrate, no one is allowed to arbitrarily terminate it, and those who violate it will be severely punished."
Ye Xiaotian still acted as if nothing had happened, as if the slap was not his face at all, he just let out a soft "oh". His attitude made Dianci a little at a loss, and he quickly explained: "Probably because you were not in office at that time, my lord, the county magistrate had this order. It's just that the county magistrate has not revoked the order, and the lowly position... "
Ye Xiaotian nodded with a smile, and said: "I understand, I understand! The order of the county magistrate is a hand order?"
Dian Ci said: "Exactly!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Bring me the oracle and let me see it!"
Dian Ci hurriedly opened a booklet, flipped through a few pages, took out an official letter with a large bright red seal, tiptoed to it, and placed both hands on Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian took the official letter with the official seal of the county magistrate, browsed it casually, folded it lightly, and put it into the sleeve. Dian Ci said anxiously: "My lord, this... This formal writing should be filed... Filed..."
Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly and said: "Of course I understand. Don't worry, I can't lose it. After two days, I will return it."
Dianci didn't dare to say any more, so he had to back down. Ye Xiaotian stood up, got up and walked outside. There were two yamen who came in together at the door, and when they saw Ye Xiaotian, they immediately nodded and bowed their heads: "Master Dianshi, the younger one is Liu Shengrui from the engineering department..."
The other said: "Master Dian Shi, the younger one is Meng Haolong from Ritual Division..."
Ye Xiaotian flung his sleeves and walked past them: "It doesn't matter if you majored in engineering or ritual, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when I come back..."
Ye Xiaotian understood that Xu Boyi must have made up his mind a long time ago, and used his direct control over the judiciary to forcibly deprive him of his most important duties. If you make trouble with these servants and petty officials, you can only ask for humiliation and lose your demeanor.
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for them to take orders from people with higher positions. You can't expect everyone to be like Su Xuntian, Li Yuncong, and Bantou Zhou. But now all the subordinates assigned to him are in their early fifties, who are about to go home for the elderly, so it is difficult to sacrifice their future to follow him and fight against their superiors.
Old Lu was sweeping the yard, when he saw Ye Xiaotian, he stopped immediately, and said respectfully, "My lord!"
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and was about to walk in front of him when Old Lu suddenly whispered: "My lord, I know who you are!"
Ye Xiaotian stood up suddenly, turned to look at him, the old Lu was smiling, with a child-like complacency on his face, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "My lord is back, the little old man is very happy. The county magistrate and the magistrate made it difficult , the little old man can also see it. Can they be more difficult to deal with than Meng Xiancheng and Qi Mu? Sir, you will defeat them sooner or later."
Ye Xiaotian stared at him, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and walked out. Old Lu looked at Ye Xiaotian's back with a smile, raised his broom and swiped it away, sweeping away Ye Xiaotian's footprints...
※※※
Ye Xiaotian left the yamen, went home and summoned Mao Wenzhi and Yaoyao to go out, Fuwaer and the big man who were doing nothing at home jumped up and down happily, and immediately followed. The super otaku Mr. Winter was tinkering with his pots and pans in the main room with great interest, but Ye Xiaotian didn't call him.
The tycoon has a lot of things to do now, especially recently when Li Bohao and Gao Ya returned to the mountain one after another, and soon called back porters and transporters from their two tribes. Xie's Chariot & Horse Shop, opened by a man named Xie Chuanfeng, expanded wildly as soon as it opened, and paid a lot of money to poach some of the best handlebar styles from "Luo Ligao Chariot & Horse Shop". , so I didn't come over.
Ye Xiaotian led Yaoyao and Mao Wenzhi, took the big man and Fuwaer around the small town for a while, looked up, suddenly his eyes lit up, and led them up the mountain.
This Hu County is half a mountain and half a valley. The city is in the mountains, and there are mountains in the city. The terrain is different from most of the cities in the Central Plains. This hill is not very high, but it is the only high hill in the county. There is a land temple on the hillside, which is the place where Ye Xiaotian stayed when he first arrived in Hu County and was driven out by the county government with all his money deducted.
Ye Xiaotian walked up the mountain, and found that although it was dry and rainy recently, the stream on the mountain was still gurgling. Ye Xiaotian walked to the dilapidated Earth Temple halfway up the mountain, looked back down the mountain, and saw most of Hu County.
The county government office is at the foot of the mountain. From here, the front and rear layout of the three large courtyards of the entire county government office can be seen at a glance. This place is in the middle line on the right side of the county government office. Ye Xiaotian laughed and said to Yaoyao: "Why do we build the house here Sample?"
Yaoyao happily said: "Okay, I have lived here before."
Ye Xiaotian pointed and said: "Build a wall from there to here, including the rock, the bamboo forest, and the earth temple here. The small river in front should also be enclosed in the yard, so that the running water can flow from the yard. I stayed. This earth temple is in the most correct position. If it is demolished, the house will be centered here... "
Mao Wenzhi was stunned and said: "Brother, you...you have enclosed most of the mountain."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Otherwise, Fuwa'er and the big man have a good time? Well, it doesn't matter the size of the land, as long as the building does not exceed the regulations."
Mao Wenzhi scratched his head and said, "Okay, anyway, brother, you have money, I don't mind if you change the whole mountain into your vegetable garden. It's just... It's such a big house, I'm afraid it will take two or three years to build it. good?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "How can it take so long, if you want to be quick, there is a quick way!"
As Ye Xiaotian said, his gaze was already fixed on the stream flowing down from the mountain. A young man wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a hunting bow was walking down the stream with his hands on his trouser legs. He was holding a long knife as long as a willow leaf in his hand, and he came at a leisurely pace, but occasionally the knife flashed, and a fat fish burst out of the water, and he raised the knife casually, and fell into the back basket behind him—Yunfei coming.
"Brother, take it back and try it out!"
Hua Yunfei walked to Ye Xiaotian's side, lowered his right shoulder, and the heavy fish basket slid down to Ye Xiaotian's feet, and then he raised his head, revealing the smiling face under the bamboo hat.
Yaoyao shouted happily: "Brother Yunfei!"
Mao Wenzhi said in surprise, "Oh my god, it's you! I'm still wondering where you are hiding."
Ye Xiaotian said: "You came at the right time, it is most suitable for you to handle this matter."
Ye Xiaotian told Hua Yunfei about planning to build a house, and said: "Winter is getting old and has bad eyesight. There is no one more suitable than you. You should go to the forbidden land of Shengmiao. Tell them , I want to build a house here and ask them to send people! Send more people, I need to build it as soon as possible!"
In the deep mountains and old forests, there is indeed no more suitable person than Hua Yunfei. As long as he has been to a place once, he will definitely be able to find it again. After listening to Ye Xiaotian's words, Hua Yunfei readily agreed, saying: "Okay! I'll go right away !"
Hua Yunfei was straightforward, and immediately set off on the road without saying a word. As long as he has a bow and a knife in hand, he will not be afraid of running out of food in the jungle, and naturally he doesn't need to bring anything else.
Mao Wenzhi happily said to Ye Xiaotian: "Why did I forget that there are so many people in the Forbidden Seedlings, just call them here, this house is built so quickly!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said nothing.
The Forbidden Land of Seedlings is actually not far away. It is located between the mountains between Huxian County and Tongren. It is just because the road to the mountain is difficult and the seedlings are not used to contacting the outside world, so outsiders dare not enter the mountain easily.
It only took Hua Yunfei two and a half days to arrive at the forbidden place for seedlings in the high mountains. He rushed to the main altar of the Gu God Sect, and told Ye Xiaotian's instructions to the elders such as Gecai, and the elders were overjoyed when they heard it , They have been debating whether to send more people to travel around the world with His Holiness, and they are also worried that restricting his freedom too much will anger this unruly Venerable. Now that I heard that His Holiness is going to build a house in such a close place, it seems that he will not go far away. Isn't this great news
Immediately, the elders issued an order to the eighty-one villages in Jiudong, informing that the Venerable would build a mansion, and asked each village to contribute their efforts to build a house for the Venerable.
The villages heard that they built a house for the Venerable, and they built the house brick by wood, for the noble God Attendant to live in. What an honor and great merit this is! Immediately, a group of eighty-one villages in Jiudong responded. In just one day, more than 10,000 young and young women came from nearby villages, and the number tripled in the next day.
Hua Yunfei was shocked, and brought so many people out of the mountain, is it plausible, is this building a house or rebellion? Hua Yunfei repeatedly refused, and the elders also felt that tens of thousands of horses were too many, after all, it was not a super palace like the Gaigu Temple.
But if they want people to go back, which one of those seedlings is willing to leave? In the end, the elders continued to mediate to ensure that there are people from each village, to ensure that men and women are represented, and they urgently ordered each village to stop sending labor. The number of people was reduced to 8,000.
Eight thousand seedlings, under the leadership of Hua Yunfei and Sister Sun, came out of the mountain in a mighty way!
