The champion Lang should wear a red robe and a hairpin hat to ride through the streets with Bangyan and Tanhua. Uncle and aunt, uncle and aunt They had to go to see what their nephew looked like in a champion robe and a champion hat, and Dahong and they had to go to the restaurant on the main street for their father and mother, and booked a private room with a window open to the road.

Seeing his nephew sitting on the horse with a high spirit, in front of him was an official dressed in red beating gongs and drums to open the way, and several elders wiped their tears in unison. The procession of people marching through the streets, followed by a long mass procession, I don't know what these people are doing behind them, some are eating, some are drinking? Erya didn't pay attention to these, she was discussing with Xiaohu about buying land on the outskirts of the capital. Since Xiaolong has won the top prize, he must stay in the capital. The mansion will be given by the emperor, but I am afraid that the land will have to be purchased by myself.

However, without waiting for Erya to worry, the emperor directly appointed Wang Xiaolong as the prefect of Xilan Prefecture in the west during the Qionglin banquet, and allowed him to take office within half a year.

Hearing the emperor's appointment, Xiaolong was Xie Zhu Longen, but the others had different thoughts. The old prime minister who had prevented the emperor from appointing Wang Xiaolong as the champion could understand the emperor's intention at this time: only the champion could be given the four-grade official position at once, and it would not be protested by the ministers. Those ministers were dizzy, they didn't know what this emperor meant, and said that he valued this champion! It is impossible for him to send Wang Xiaolong to Xilan Prefecture. Let's say he doesn't value this champion! But he suddenly gave an official position as a new champion and four grades, which is unprecedented. Anyway. Those officials who originally wanted to get married to this new champion have all stopped thinking about it.

Some of the other people in the same family think they are smart. are secretly gloating. I said in my heart that this champion was actually stupid, and the emperor couldn't see through such an obvious meaning, so he had to show himself, he only knew how to seek fame, but he didn't know that actual interests were more important.

And the emperor looked at the different faces below, there was schadenfreude, sympathy, pity, indifference, and ran, and he didn't care about these. He was in a happy mood just when he saw that Wang Xiaolong happily accepted his appointment.

In fact, when he was investigating the Wang family, he got some very detailed information about the Wang family's reclamation of wasteland, the construction of a fortress and the digging of coal in Yangquan.

Their royal family has only been three years. More than 50,000 acres of wasteland were reclaimed, and the income from the wasteland was no less than that of the cooked land that had been planted for several years. These were not his surprises, but he was surprised by the steady stream of strong laborers who had passed from the hinterland. The imperial court also gave money, goods, and help. But no one in the mainland wants to go. But why was the Wang family able to let those people, more and more people run over year by year? And all of them were elated, as if they had received some glorious glory. He couldn't figure it out! He also needs someone who can go to the west to reclaim the wasteland, like those strong laborers, and make the prosperity of the west alive again.

He sent people to investigate in detail, and the most fundamental problem in the west was not the lack of rain, but because the land there was like a funnel, and there was no way to store water. There is also a big problem. It's a serious shortage of people. And people of other races outside the western Xinjiang often come to harass, and each time they finally emigrated from other places. Those immigrants were frightened by the aliens in the western Xinjiang and ran away. If this continues, the West will become a true wilderness. Since the Wang family has a trick up its sleeve in clearing up wasteland and immigration, Wang Xiaolong has so many years of experience in doing practical things. Then let them try it and see if they can solve the decades-old problem.

When Xiaolong returned home after eating the Qionglin feast, the family also learned the news, and they didn't know what to think about it. They can't figure it out either! However, Erya thought that the emperor probably intended to govern the west, and it had nothing to do with people.

"Little Dragon! Do you think the emperor's original intention is to want our family to help you govern the west well, instead of having any good or bad opinion of you as a person! ”

Xiaolong nodded and replied, "Sister-in-law!" In fact, I already thought of this when I was answering the question. As soon as the emperor's appointment came out today, I understood what the emperor meant. It's just that those people next to me are guessing, but I am also confused, and I am also confused. If my sister-in-law thinks so now, then I will be more sure of the emperor's true intentions. This way I can also relax and do things! ”

Xiaohu patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, even if the emperor doesn't mean that, we will do our best to help you, and we can't ask you to fight alone." ”

Daman also said: "Yes! Xiaolong, no matter what, we are brothers, just like Anzi and Laizi, as long as we can help, we will not shrink away. Dahong and Xiangzi also nodded yes on the side.

Seeing that his brothers were so powerful, Xiaolong couldn't help but be ambitious, and only thought about how to do a great job after he took office.

Because the emperor gave Xiaolong more time, they feasted in the capital to the Qin Mansion, the Confucian Mansion, the eldest prince of Chen, who had returned to the capital, the big proprietor of Chunlin Hall, and Boss Lin who was still in the capital (he is now the head manager), and then they had to leave the capital.

Xiaolong rode back with a few children from the town school who had already obtained the Jinshi, and three children who had not passed the exam, because the reeds over there were going to be opened to the public in April and May, and he had to go back to preside over the matter.

Erya and Xiaohu also have to explain some things about the children they adopted. But I don't want these children to cry when they hear that their aunt and uncle are leaving. Erya saw that they were really sad, reluctant, and afraid, and their hearts couldn't help but move. She asked the two biggest children, who were also strongly opposed to leaving the capital: "Da Niu, Da Jing, are you willing to go back there with us?" ”

Da Niu Dajing nodded and replied without hesitation: "Auntie! If you're willing to take us home, we'll go! ”

Er Ya asked them a little puzzled: "I heard that you were most opposed to leaving the capital at the beginning, why are you willing to do it now?" ”

"Auntie! We didn't know the two aunts well at the time, and we didn't know if they were the traffickers, so we couldn't believe them. At this time, we know that you are the family of Zhuang Yuanlang, and so many brothers who have been admitted to the Jinshi are also taken in by your family. What else do we have to worry about?! ”

Xiaohu smiled: "Oh! You are afraid of being deceived, and your two aunts are sad. If they hadn't felt sorry for your suffering, let us help you, we wouldn't have known about you! ”

When the two little ones heard this, they giggled embarrassedly. The second girl abducted Xiaohu and blamed: "The children are also afraid of being deceived, so they are on guard, not because they have the intention to be disrespectful to their younger brothers and daughters-in-law, so don't say more." ”

These children are actually very good, and they don't have the bad habit of stealing and pickpocketing, only bad hygiene habits and some indecent actions when eating. At first, Erya didn't want to ask them too many sensitive topics, but when they got along, they asked: "I heard that some children will steal or rob, what's going on?" If you get caught, it's dangerous. ”

Er Ya called the old big cow of the rivers and lakes, and replied to Erya: "We won't steal and rob!" Those are the thieves who specialize in that, and they often pretend to be us to steal, and then people think we did it. In fact, they all have their own nests, with good food, good drink, and good shelter, so that they will not beg like us in a pitiful way. ”

Erya nodded, thinking about it in her heart, she felt the same. When she went to look for these children, some of them were brought by old beggars, and some of them were older beggars living with young beggars, and it looked like a way of life of mutual help and mutual dependence, and she really didn't see the kind of gang that was managed by a leader.

And these children are very kind-hearted, and when they see abandoned babies, they can't support them themselves, and they will pick up the babies and raise them. More than a dozen of these sixty-odd children came here in this way, and these children were also very fatal, and all of them survived on the food that their brothers and sisters begged for.

The two elder brothers said that they were willing to go home with their aunt and uncle, and the other children didn't think about him, and they were willing to follow Erya and Xiaohu. The children's willingness to go to Hepu Town is the best outcome for Erya. There are people over there, there are people to play, and all the facilities are already complete, but it is much better than nothing here, and even the food, drink, and clothing are ten points better than here.

Dahong's daughter-in-law and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law were busy preparing the things that the children needed on the road, especially the milk powder and diapers that several babies needed.

Er Ya and Xiao Hu went to find the old beggars, who also met Er Ya when she took away the little beggars. They usually don't seem to care about those little beggars, but when Er Ya wants to take the little beggars away, they come over to question. After understanding that Erya wanted to adopt these children, they were not at ease, and they followed the past to see the house that Erya had purchased, and only then did they allow the children to come in. When Erya offered to buy them a fixed place to live, they turned it down. They said that it had become a habit to eat wherever they went, and now they couldn't stand it if they were left in one place in peace. They just ask Erya to give them a place to live and hide from the cold when it snows heavily in winter, and they don't have to worry about them normally. Erya and Xiaohu came to them before leaving, just to tell them that if they needed help, they could go directly to the house to find the housekeeper, whether they needed to live, or they needed food, or they needed to wear, they had already explained to the housekeeper, and gave them a sum of money to use on them. In addition, if you pick up a baby that has been abandoned by someone else, or a homeless child, please send it to you, and there is a special person in the house to take care of the child.

The housekeeper of this house is actually one of several people arranged by the emperor. The information he told Erya was that he was a jinshi during the reign of the first emperor, because he didn't understand the rules of officialdom, he offended people, and was finally brought to the point of dismissal and exile. Fortunately, halfway through the way he was sent to the place of exile, he was able to escape the pain of exile because Emperor Bawu (the name of the year of Feng Batian) ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. But when he returned to the capital, he was still unwilling to let him go, so that he was restricted everywhere and could hardly survive. Because the housekeeper hired by Erya doesn't have to sell his body, he will come just to have a place to stay. (To be continued......)
