When he returned to the lord's mansion, Ouyang Shuo didn't go anywhere and stayed in the office to read books.

Gu Sanniang said outside: "Sir, there is a man named Wang Er outside, who said he is looking for you!"

"Wang Er?" Ouyang Shuo was confused.

"Yes. He is a stonemason. He said he had an agreement with you before."

Oh, he remembered it. It turned out to be the stonemason I met on the construction site before. I thought I came to find him as a witness. Unexpectedly, this young man was quite fast.

"I understand, bring him in!" Ouyang Shuo ordered Gu Sanniang.

"OK!"

After a while, Wang Er followed Gu Sanniang, walked into the office, and said respectfully: "Xiaomin Wang Er, pay homage to you!"

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "I already know your purpose. Tell me, when will the wedding be held?"

"Report to the adults, Xiaomin will hold his wedding tomorrow evening." Wang Er said restrainedly.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow evening, as soon as I'm going, don't worry!"

Hearing Ouyang Shuo agree, Wang Er bowed happily to him and said, "Thank you sir! Thank you sir!"

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea. Gu Sanniang understood and pulled Wang Er, who had not recovered yet, to leave the office.

In the evening, Sangouzi from the Military Information Department brought good news.

"Sir, the Military Intelligence Department fulfilled its mission and finally found mulberry seedlings outside the territory." Sangouzi walked into the office and said hurriedly.

Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed and said, "Okay, there's finally a result. I'm about to upgrade to a first-level township. If I don't find it again, I'll beat your Military Information Department."

Sangouzi smiled, "Sir, there's more than this good news. Just when one of our scout cavalry found a mulberry tree sapling, he found the trace of the wild goat. At this moment, General Shi had already set off with the cavalry squadron. According to the general's intention, he wanted to track it overnight, for fear of missing it again."

"Okay, good things come in pairs. Let the mulberry tree seedlings be handed over to the Agricultural Reclamation Division!" Ouyang Shuo ordered with a smile. He was not very worried about the night operation of the cavalry squadron. The Military Information Department had already investigated clearly that there was no other threat to the area near the territory except for the intermediate bandit camp that had been wiped out.

At 10:00 a.m. on February 13, the cavalry squadron returned with a full load. Hundreds of cavalry drove more than fifty wild goats and rushed towards the village in a mighty manner.

Seeing these wild goats, Zhao Dewang, director of the Construction Department, jumped up quickly and cursed and arranged for workers to hurry up and build the sheep pen.

Fortunately, wild goats are relatively docile animals, and they do not run around and gather together quietly. Seeing this, Du Xiaolan arranged for people to bring fodder from the warehouse and feed them. Since the day when the bison was tamed, the Materials Department has consciously reserved a batch of high-quality fodder, and this time it finally came in handy.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the sheep pen was finally built. Ouyang Shuo looked at the sheep pen and thoughtfully as he watched the sheep being driven into the sheep pen. Back at the lord's mansion, he summoned Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing, Cui Yingyou and Zhao Dexian to his office to discuss the matter.

Fan Tiancui and the other two were secretly called the Big Three by the administrators of Shanhai Village. Zhao Dexian was a little nervous after following the Big Three into the village chief’s office.

Ouyang Shuo did not take a turn and said straight to the point: "With the further expansion of the territory's animal husbandry industry and the upcoming mulberry garden, the agriculture of Shanhai Village has gradually started to get on track. At this time, it is very necessary to set up a special department to coordinate management."

Zhao Dexian's heart thumped and became hot in an instant. According to the words of the adults, it was necessary to establish a powerful department covering agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry. He looked at the people present, except him, and they all had important positions. Stupidly, is this position going to fall on him?

Fan Zhongyan inadvertently glanced at Tian Wenjing and said, "What is the lord's intention to separate the animal husbandry from the Material Reserves Office?"

According to general jurisdiction, industries such as animal husbandry should be classified under the jurisdiction of the Administration.

Because the material reserve department during Cui Yingyou's period was too strong and was deeply trusted by Ouyang Shuo. In addition, the animal husbandry industry was also very weak at that time and did not have much weight, so no one said anything. Over time, it became a historical problem.

After Fan Zhongyan took over the Administrative Office, although he was determined to take back these powers, he could not find a suitable breakthrough. This time, Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the wild goats and took the initiative to mention the issue of adjusting the jurisdiction of the animal husbandry industry, and he naturally wanted to fuel the fire.

The newly appointed director of the Material Reserves Director Tian Wenjing had no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Ouyang Shuo pretended not to know and continued: "Not only that, the fishery must be stripped out. In addition to controlling strategic materials such as wood, stone and ore, the responsibilities of the Material Reserve Agency are more inclined to the storage and management of materials rather than controlling the source of production of materials. This is somewhat inconsistent."

Tian Wenjing nodded and said calmly: "I agree with my lord's opinion. With the vigorous development of various sub-industries in the territory, it is no time to establish a more professional and effective department."

Cui Yingyou sat aside, watching the fights of several people, and it was difficult to interrupt. Besides, the crux of these problems was not related to her. At this time, she could only remain silent.

Seeing Tian Wenjing taking the initiative to give in, Cui Yingyou asked with a smile: "Brother, what is the name of this department? Who should be the chief officer?" After saying that, he did not forget to glance at Zhao Dexian.

"Since it is in charge of agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry, it is naturally called the Agricultural Department. I think there is no need to set up a new department, so it is directly upgraded from the original Agricultural Reclamation Bureau to the Agricultural Department. The personnel appointment and affiliation of the Agricultural Department remain unchanged." Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

Cui Yingyou nodded, not surprised by this arrangement. At this point, the Agricultural Department became the most heavyweight department of the Administration.

When the dust settled, Zhao Dexian got up, bowed and said loudly: "Thank you for your trust."

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "I believe in Director Zhao's ability. Before, both in the Construction Department and the Agricultural Reclamation Department, they performed very well. I hope you can achieve another success in the new department!"

"I will definitely live up to the entrusted lord!" Zhao Dexian said firmly after he returned to his calmness.

Among the civil servants trained in Shanhai Village, Zhao Dexian's ability is second only to Cui Yingyou and Gu Xiuwen, and is much better than Zhao Youfang and Zhao Dewang. He has also served as village chief. When the time is right, Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to give him a broader platform.

In the evening, Ouyang Shuo took Erwai to the residential area to attend the wedding of Wang Er and Cuihua.

In ancient times, the general process of weddings was six procedures, including Nacai, Xiangming, Naji, Nazheng, Invitation and Welcoming. Welcoming is a major event in the entire wedding. The groom's family's family opened the door of the sedan chair and invited the bride, and then a lucky elder on the man handed over the red rope tied into a concentric knot to the bride and groom.

When the two of them walk into the auditorium with red ropes, they should not step on the threshold: the threshold represents the storefront, and the bride must cross the threshold. The girl holds a bronze mirror and looks at the bride and groom in order to achieve happiness and perfection.

Shanhai Village has a simple condition, and most of the villagers are alone, not only without parents and elders, nor with relatives and friends. Therefore, the entire wedding ceremony was designed relatively simple and did not strictly follow the six procedures.

Fortunately, the Material Reserve Bureau was instructed by Ouyang Shuo and sent someone to deliver red silk cloth, rice, flour, melons and fruits yesterday afternoon. The scene didn't look too cold.

When Ouyang Shuo arrived at Wang Er's courtyard, Wang Erzhenghou was at the door.

When he saw Ouyang Shuo, he hurried forward and said dryly: "I am so glorious when I visit my humble house." I saw that this few words were just asked by Mr. Gu to teach me in the morning.

Ouyang Shuo nodded in a funny way, Erwazi rushed out from behind and handed the gift with a smile. It was a good piece of silk that he bought from the market. As the lord, he personally attended the wedding of the people, so the gift he gave should not be too shabby.

This time, Ouyang Shuo did not arrange for the leaders of the lord's mansion to come with great fanfare. In that case, it would be too overwhelming and would not be beautiful. Even the little girl Qing'er was clamoring to join in the fun, but he did not agree. He only brought the second child to come and waited with him.

Wang Er's new home is a typical farmhouse courtyard. Through the main entrance, there is a small courtyard. In one corner of the courtyard, there is a jujube tree planted. Next to the jujube tree is a well. On the east and west sides are the kitchen, woodshed and poultry houses for raising poultry. There are only three small rooms in the main hall, and the middle one is the hall, which is also a place for the family to eat. There is a bedroom on both sides of the left and right.

Although the yard is small, it is complete with all internal organs. It can be seen that Wang Er is also a diligent person. The yard is cleaned up easily, which makes people feel good about it.

In the courtyard, two tables of wedding banquets were already placed. Those who came to attend the wedding were either Wang Er’s fellow townsman or a stonemason who worked together. It can be seen that the young man is still very popular.

Wang Er personally led Ouyang Shuo to the chairman of the hall and sat down. Erwazi was clever and did not sit down ignorantly, but instead ran to the yard and found a seat to sit.

When he saw Ouyang Shuo, Zhao Dewang, who had taken the lead, quickly stood up and greeted him. Wang Er belonged to the craftsmanship and was under the jurisdiction of the Construction Department. He had great powers and actually invited the Director of the Construction Department to attend the wedding.

Before coming, Zhao Dewang didn't expect that the adults would come to attend the wedding, so he seemed very surprised. He was glad that he had come the right trip. Seeing that he cared about his subordinates so much, he should value himself more.

This is true. Ouyang Shuo felt relieved when he saw Zhao Dewang. This was because he had a chat, so he would not be too boring to sit alone in the seat.

Before the banquet, Wang Er led the bride Cuihua to pay homage to Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo said a few auspicious words and asked the bride to go back to his room. He knew that in ancient times, the bride should not show up on wedding nights. Only he, the lord, had such great face.

A wedding was lively and lively.
