Chapter 84: Two Fangs are looking forward to meeting each other

The next morning, just as dawn, the officials all started to shout. Each of them drank a bowl of rice porridge and the side dishes they ate yesterday, so they had to help with things. They couldn't do a little technical job, and the villagers didn't expect them to do it, so they asked them to carry the water.

There is a water bubble in the mountain, about one mile away from the village, where there is water, water flowing down from the water, rain, and a small spring there, so that the people in the village will not be useless for water. No one in the village grows rice, wheat, millet, and sorghum.

There are also many vegetable fields. The prices of vegetables are cheap and can be exchanged for fast money. If you pick some of them, you will be carried out by the strong laborers in the village to sell them. You will take another road. Except for these uninformed officials, no one will be so stupid that they will climb so many mountains. If you exchange them for money, you will buy some salt, oil and other items to come back.

Life is a bit difficult, but it is not as good as eating bran all day long. There is also a small mill in the village who cultivates land on the mountain and plants soybeans. You can eat a meal of soybean products occasionally. Most of the beans are taxed. County Magistrate Cheng knew about the wasteland he had opened, but he did not enter the book and left some spare money for the villagers.

During the Chinese New Year, County Magistrate Cheng brought the things from Zhangjiazhuang here. Therefore, the villagers will do whatever they arrange. No matter how old the officials you are, how many ranks you are, who will listen to anyone who treats him well. When others can't see them, they are very respectful to County Magistrate Cheng. Last night, they also burned water for bathing. Before getting up in the morning, they fryed two browned eggs for County Magistrate Cheng and sprinkled some sugar on it.

County Magistrate Cheng Lingxiang ate two fried eggs in small mouthfuls, and ate them for a full quarter of an hour. He felt that the taste was better than the signature dishes of the three restaurants in the county. He only asked others to get up after he finished eating. It was time to work, and he wanted to bribe himself. Dreaming, the entertainment meal was gone, whoever worked would eat.

The officials' work was arranged by the villagers, both far and near, light and heavy. At noon, they would eat directly at the workplace. Someone gave it to them. A group of officials changed their clothes and started to work. After leaving for so long yesterday, they all had sore waists, weak legs, and backs, and they had to persist. Neither of the two ministers said anything, so it was their turn.

The two yamen runners did not do this, saying that they were going back to withdraw money and get things, so they took Zhou Yu and Zhou Xihu, who had assigned the work, and left quietly. Zhou Yu wanted to go to Zhangjiazhuang to discuss some things and thank him. When they came back in two days, the yamen would come back here with them and bring some food.

As for the money that has been given, the money paid by the county and the food that officials eat, no matter how bad it is, it is still money. The people in the village do not lack this labor and can do things that they can do, so why bother to find someone to do?

"I've come out, I've finally come out." Zhou Ye said comfortably as he looked at the scenery outside the mountain.

"Sir, your car will come soon. Those who follow you are advised to go back, saying that the adults should rest here for two days and that someone will entertain you, so don't worry that they will come to find it themselves." A yamen runner who came from the county to wait reported to Zhou Yu.

"Oh, that's good. An Ran is there too. Who is in charge of the county?" Zhou Yu understood now. No wonder when he came, the county found some driving handlebars to drive the car, persuaded some people who came to the state to go back, and was worried that if the yamen lacked the person in charge, there would be chaos.

The yamen runner replied respectfully: "Don't worry, the county is still in charge of the Lord Bo and the county magistrate. It is all trivial matters. Sanshui County is under the care of Mr. Zhou, so there will be no major matters. Except for Lord Bo and Zhao who are unwilling to say too much, everyone else is harmonious and no one is pulling his back."

Zhou Yu is his own family, so the yamen runners said more.

Zhou Xie didn't say anything more this time, so he was relieved. His car also rushed over at this time. The yamen runners led the way on the front of the horse, and the figures of several people disappeared under the foot of the mountain.

The strong wind passed, and the people from the Ge family farm were still supporting the seedlings. Some of the unusable ones were simply thrown away. The owner finally did something to protect the farmer's household. After two days, the owner's household produced the seeds that were replenished. It was said that the three-turn seeds were exchanged for the unfallen seedlings, and the farmers were very happy.

People from the two families of Zhang and Wang also checked in the ground, picked out the few seedlings that could not resist the wind, divided a few of them from other dense places, and moved them over, and then saw which one was stronger. Write it down. When harvesting in autumn, there were many grains and large ones, they would keep them for seeds.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rode out on a bike and saw the villager's happy expressions because of the rice seedlings. They were also happy. From time to time, they responded to the greeting people in the expressions and tone of children.

"Dad, why do I feel like the young master and the young lady when I look at the rice seedlings? They grow older than the age of other children. Their arms and legs are chubby and white, and they can withstand the strong wind at a glance."

After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said hello, a teenage child next to the adult looked at the young master who was leaving and said to his father.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can the young master and the young lady compete with the rice seedlings? Let me hear you say this again, and I will swing you with a big ear." The father taught the child a lesson and squatted down to see a seedling near him that had blocked the wind for other rice seedlings, and his eyes narrowed.

"Oh, I never dare to say it again, but I still feel so." The child agreed, but did not change his mind.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived at Xiaoqiao, they stopped and looked at the construction site that was still under construction, looking forward to completing it soon.

"Xiaobao, when Zhou Xihu's uncle comes over, we have to discuss a few things? We can't tell him in person. Let's think about it first, so don't make a mistake." Wang Juan got out of the car and asked at the river that had completely cut off the flow in front.

"It should be three things. First, there are some long-term plans for some business cooperation with Zhou Xihu. The second is to ask him to help bring a reputation to the restaurant here. The third is to ask him when the country suffered a disaster. Someone helped him. What rewards are there in the state? He doesn't know what he wants to talk about. He probably wants to meet two masters from Zhangjiazhuangzi.

Song Jinggong has proposed more than once that County Magistrate Cheng wants to become a disciple. I think some people are curious about this. Whether to see him or not, if he sees him, someone will have to pass the message back and forth from the middle. This is also a kind of meeting. I am afraid that he will want to ask the experts for advice and ask sensitive questions at that time."

Zhang Xiaobao sat in the car, put his elbow on the handlebar in front of him, and replied after pondering for a while.

"I think I'll see you and listen to his thoughts so that I can understand him better." Wang Juan suggested.

"Okay, then I'll let someone pass the message back and forth." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.

At the fourth moment of Shen Shi, a car rushed over from Tuqiao Village. Three horses were pulling it up, and the horse was exhausted from running. It was not until it entered Gejiazhuang that the road was a little difficult to walk, and the handlebars slowed down.

Zhou Xihu and his uncle were also jogging enough in the car. As soon as the car slowed down, they stopped. He and his uncle got out of the car and walked over. When they first got on the car, they wanted to eat something, but their uncle said it was a meal, saying that it would take a while from here to the yamen and a lot of time to get there. The two of them delayed their journey from the village in the morning. If they walked slowly, they would not be able to get to the place in the evening.

When you arrive at the place at night, you naturally cannot talk about things. You can only wait tomorrow, and it depends on when the other person gets up. If the two masters have the habit of sleeping in, they still have to wait, which will take more than one day.

Therefore, the car was rushing all the way, and thanks to the many horses that pull the car, it was too exhausted if it was ordinary.

After getting off the car, the two of them drank some water first and asked the handlebars to place the horses themselves. Just have a yamen runner here to accompany them. The runners also jumped off the horses and handed the horses to the handlebars. The three of them walked towards the two villages of Zhangwang and Wang while feeling uncomfortable.

At present, they are still in the Gejiazhuang. Zhou Xie, who is involved in the military, is in charge of taxes in the state, and is also responsible for warehousing. Whether tax reduction or exemption depends on the local disaster situation. Since he is here, of course he must take a good look.

He asked the yamen runners to take a path in the fields. After the three of them turned over two houses that blocked their sight, a large area of ​​paddy fields appeared in front of them, and there were still people busy inside. From a distance, it seemed that they picked something out of the field.

"Can the river stop flowing here?" Zhou Yu had not yet inquired about the fields here, so he had this question.

"It was broken, it was broken a few days ago. The village in the upper reaches has led all the water to its own fields. There is a small river here. This place is called Gejiazhuang. The water used is brought from Zhangwang and two villages. When there was no drought, Zhangwang and two villages stored water from six large ponds and dug seven wells. Now there are ten wells in Zhangwang and two villages in Gejiazhuang. "

The yamen runners answered the questions next to him. When he talked about the two villages of Zhang and Wang, his tone was respectful. Not only were the two villages of Zhang and Wang, but they also took care of them. They would send them to the yamen to distribute them to everyone on weekdays. His family still had fungus that they were not willing to eat. When his wife was pregnant, she would stir-fry a little every time she wanted to eat.

Every time I ate, my wife would softly say that she had found a capable husband, and her child had a powerful father, and she could eat tender cucumbers in winter, and her wealthy family's fungus could also be eaten at home. For a man, what else is more glorious than this?

A few days ago, I didn’t know who Zhangjiazhuang heard that his wife was pregnant. When her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she actually brought some bean skins and spicy sauce alone, as well as a small jar of aged vinegar for ten years and a pack of sugar. She said that she soaked the bean skins and cut them into pieces and cut them into hot water, mix them with sugar and aged vinegar. It was sweet and sour, and if you want to eat spicy food, add spicy sauce.
