When Qin Yuanwai heard Fan Yu's words, he was a little confused.

"What novelty? What does it matter. "He really doesn't understand.

Fan Yu smiled: "Outside, you want to." The government gives you a reward, and naturally there will be people watching the ceremony. Only in front of everyone, give a surprise to the staff, then everyone can be happy for the staff. ”

When Qin Yuanwai heard Fan Yu say this, he couldn't help but point at Fan Yu and laugh, "It's still funny for you kid, that's true." When I read it now, I won't be surprised or surprised, and naturally everyone will find it dull. That's right, that's the reason. Then you take my carriage, let's go to Xihua County quickly. ”

The largest restaurant in Xihua County is the three-storey Xiaoyao Building.

At this time, on the third floor of the top of Xiaoyao Building, it was full of squires with heads and faces in Xihua County.

And Wang Feng was also sitting at a table in the southernmost part, chatting with the two squires.

The stairs creaked, and Fan Yu and his party walked up from downstairs. Behind him were Qin Yuanwai and Qin Sheng's father and son, as well as Zhang's father-in-law and father and son carrying the plaque.

Wang Feng beckoned to Fan Yu and the others, "Fan Yu, come here." Qin Yuanwai has also arrived, you are the most important guest today, please come and sit with me. ”

Without waiting for Qin Yuanwai to walk over, Wang Feng got up and took two quick steps to meet Qin Yuanwai's father and son.

Qin Yuanwai was a little flattered, didn't he flood his family's thousands of acres of fertile land, did the lords of this county respect me so much?

"Lord Bo is too polite, don't scare me." Qin Yuanwai hurriedly waved his hand.

"Where, if it weren't for Qin Yuanwai's responsibility, everyone's fields in Caoqiao Town would have been flooded." Wang Feng laughed loudly: "There are benevolent and righteous people in this county, and everyone's faces are bright. In addition to the Qin members in Caoqiao Town, it is also the luck of Caoqiao Town. ”

Qin Yuanwai was praised by Wang Feng with a few words, and everyone lost several pounds, as if he had swallowed an elixir.

Fan Yu sat down by himself and asked the Zhang father and son to put the plaque aside and wait.

After Wang Feng exchanged a few polite words with Qin Yuanwai's father and son, he instructed the guys in Xiaoyao Building to serve food and wine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of summoning everyone here this time is to inform you of the deeds of Qin Yuanwai. A few days ago, a heavy rain continued day and night, and the Jialu River was swollen, and it looked like it was about to overflow. Once the river overflowed the embankment, the food and clothing of thousands of people in Caoqiao Town were gone. Thanks to Qin Yuanwai's compassion for the heavens and people, he did not hesitate to dig the river embankment next to his own field and turned his thousands of acres of fertile land into a country. In this way, the fields of many neighbors in Caoqiao Town were saved. Wang Feng picked up his wine glass and said to Qin Yuanwai: "There are such benevolent and righteous people in our county, and such squires who forget their selfishness and serve the public are really a blessing of the place." Come, everyone wishes Qin Yuanwai a cup! ”

Most of these squires in Xihua County know each other, and some are still in-laws. At this time, seeing that Wang Zhubo was extremely attentive to Qin Yuan, many people showed envy.

In this county, the main man is the third official, and he can usually be treated like this by the main body, and I am afraid that only the county magistrate is the magistrate.

Everyone listened to Wang Feng's call, raised their glasses together, and drank the pale golden liquor in the glass.

"Good wine, where did Wang Zhubo find such fine wine, it is as sweet and delicious as gold liquid!" Someone immediately joked and praised.

"This is Jinquan wine, a pound of 100 yuan." Wang Feng laughed and said disapprerovitically.

Immediately, someone exclaimed, "It is actually Jinquan wine, I was fortunate to drink this wine once in Bianliang, and it was in the house of a prime minister to celebrate his birthday, so I was given a pot to drink." ”

Fan Yu secretly observed these squires, and it seemed that the squires of the Great Song Dynasty were all people who had read books, and there were not many rich people who shrank their heads.

This person is not unable to drink a pound of Jinquan wine, but to take advantage of this to make fun and slap Wang Feng's ass by the way.

After drinking a glass of wine, Qin Yuan lit up the bottom of the glass to everyone and said: "Everyone, as a squire, I am also the chief of security, and it is my duty to protect the territory and the people. In the past, I was trusted by many villagers in Caoqiao Town to run for taxes. Therefore, we can't watch many villagers lose their harvests, and the government has no taxes. The situation was urgent, and I didn't have to think much about it, so I dug the embankment. At this time, I thought about it, but it was very heartbroken. ”

The squires of the Song Dynasty were all entrusted by the government to collect taxes from the people, and they all had the title of Li Zheng or Bao Chang. Qin Yuanwai is no exception, he is the chief of Caoqiao Town.

When he said this, he paused, and the other forty or so squires burst out laughing. Everyone seemed to see Qin Yuanwai's embarrassed and distressed state at that time, and although they laughed, they were quite sympathetic.

"But I thought afterwards, my Qin family is in Caoqiao Town, and I am also the richest man. Although my family's 1,000 acres of land have not been harvested, I can afford it. After a few years, the deficit will be made up. If the townsfolk fail to harvest their fields, I am afraid that they will not be able to open the pot. Therefore, I have also done a good deed. I don't ask the villagers to repay me for this, as long as they are safe and sound, and the family is free of illness and disaster, wouldn't it be good? ”

Where is Qin Yuanwai still the appearance of beating his chest on the edge of the field, and the whole person talks eloquently about the demeanor for a while.

Fan Yu looked funny, it seemed that this Qin member should have practiced a lot in private. Sure enough, on such occasions, it played quite well.

However, the words are pretty much the same, it's time to make your debut.

Fan Yu got up and bowed his hand to Qin Yuanwai, "At that time, I was appointed by Wang Zhubo as an envoy to control the river, and I saw with my own eyes that Qin Yuanwai ordered someone to dig up the river embankment and release water into my own fertile land. This kind of high-spirited festival is really admirable. In my heart, since that day, I have regarded Qin Yuanwai as a model. Especially with such a mind, really, when the mountains are full of flowers, he laughs in the bushes. ”

The literary style of the Great Song Dynasty was at its peak, and all the squires were also good literary people, and when they heard Fan Yu's sentence, most of them immediately applauded.

"Good sentence! Such a good sentence is worthy of Qin's character! Here, let's have another drink! Someone in the crowd shouted.

Qin Yuanwai was even more excited, and his old face was as bright as a basin of authentic red oil.

He waved his hand again and again and said modestly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Brother Fan is exaggerating." ”

Wang Feng glanced at Fan Yu and was a little surprised. Where did this kid learn the words, and they are so brilliant.

Fan Yu suddenly felt in his heart, and he borrowed the old man's poems by himself, so he wouldn't be considered a genius.

"This time, please come here to congratulate the Thai staff. The magistrate learned of the deeds of Qin Yuanwai, and specially handwritten the four characters, which have now been carved into a plaque, as a reward for Qin Yuanwai, so that the good name can be spread to the world. Fan Yu made a circle to everyone and waved his hand at Zhang's father and son.

Zhang's father and son had long been nervous, where had they ever seen such a scene. Seeing Fan Yu waving his hand, he lifted the plaque covered with red silk.

When Qin Yuanwai lifted the red silk and revealed the four characters of benevolence and righteousness, the third floor of Xiaoyao Building immediately heard the sound of praise and praise again.

Wang Feng waited for everyone to admire and envy each other, and then stood up again, bowed to the crowd and said: "There are Qin members in our county who are benevolent and righteous, but he is not the only one who is benevolent and righteous. This time, I invite everyone to come, that is, please don't let Qin Yuan be alone in front of me. Nowadays, there is a famine in Chenzhou, and there are not a few hungry people who have been displaced to my Xihua County. Although the government has been trying its best to provide disaster relief, it is still unable to make ends meet. Therefore, this time, please donate generously to help our county through this difficult time. Of course, this is not a forced assessment, but only a pledge. ”

The atmosphere on the third floor of Xiaoyao Building instantly became cold, and it seemed a little awkward for a while.
