Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sheung Shui Village

Lantian County Ya

Knowing that Wang Yin had arrived, the Lantian County Commander hurriedly prepared and stood at the gate of the county government and waited respectfully.

"Xiaguan Cao Wenxi has seen the county uncle." When Wang Yin approached, Cao Wenxi hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Cao Wenxi is not very old, he looks like he is in his thirties, he reveals a trace of elegance, his eyes are bright, and he does not look like a treacherous person.

"What's your name?" Wang Yin was stunned for a moment and wondered.

"Xiaguan Cao Wenxi... Cao Wenxi's face was full of doubts, could there be something wrong with his name?

"Do you want your life for three thousand?" Wang Yin was happy.

Cao Wenxi looked confused, what does this mean, uncle? Want me to die? I don't think there's anything wrong with me...

"It's okay, it's good." Wang Yin smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

When Wang Yin was taken to the main hall, Cao Wenxi hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea and snacks.

"Uncle is coming from afar, why don't you eat something and rest first, Xia Guan has already booked an inn... Cao Wenxi asked cautiously.

The above has been explained, be sure to serve this master well, if something goes wrong, you can roll up the cover and get out.

"Then there is no need," Wang Yin looked at the time, it was only about two o'clock: "You take me around first, there are still some people coming later, wait for them first." ”

Wang Yin was still a little excited at the moment, after all, this would be his territory in the future.

Although I'm not interested in being an official or anything, it's different! Wang Yin now feels a bit like he just captured a city in the game.

Turned his head and looked at Cao Wenxi next to him: Look, a farmer at the beginning has it~

The group left the government and walked towards a nearby village.

"Uncle, this is the nearest village--- Shangshui Village." Cao Wenxi gasped and said.

This uncle didn't take the carriage, so he had to follow all the way, which was naturally a bit unbearable for him, a weak chicken scholar.

Wang Yin took a look, it was similar to the mountain village, it was still vast and sparsely populated, and it was a dilapidated scene.

There were not many pedestrians coming and going, all of them were yellow-skinned and thin, wearing washed and white shabby clothes.

Some villagers are carrying water from the river into the fields.

A few bear children saw that the county official was coming, and hurriedly ran to inform Lizheng.

"Vincy, your political achievements are not good." Wang Yin patted Cao Wenxi on the shoulder: "I haven't been greedy all these years." ”

"Uncle Mingjian, Xia Guan has been conscientious all these years, and he has never been greedy for ink." Cao Wenxi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly defended himself.

Although he has indeed never been corrupt, but who knows what kind of temper this uncle has, what if he recognizes himself as corrupt...

Or is this signaling to me? Let me take filial piety?

"Don't be nervous, just kidding." Wang Yin looked at Cao Wenxi's face full of cold sweat, and wondered in his heart: Could it be that this thing is really a corrupt official?

When the villagers saw the official man coming, they didn't know what was going on, so they gathered around curiously.

"Wang Erniu has seen Cao County's order." At this time, a man in his forties walked over and hurriedly saluted Cao Wenxi.

Wang Yin pondered: In the current situation, it seems that the relationship between the county order and the villagers is okay, not like a bad official. Otherwise, the villagers would not dare to watch, for fear that they would have already hid far away.

"This is the new Lantian County Uncle, General Wang Yin," Cao Wenxi began to introduce the two sides: "Uncle, this is the second cow of the main king in this village." ”

"I've seen Uncle." Everyone hurriedly saluted, but their expressions seemed to be a little too enthusiastic.

Seeing Wang Yin's puzzled expression, Cao Wenxi smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't know, you are a big celebrity in our area now." Your curved plough has benefited everyone a lot. ”

"Thanks to Uncle's Quyuan plow, our village has a much faster farming speed."

"Our family has opened a few more plots of land this year, and we can collect more next year."

"Uncle is our great benefactor!"

The people echoed the words.

I see, Wang Yin smiled, and waved his hand at the crowd very pretendedly: "It's good if everyone likes it." ”

I heard that a new uncle was coming, and the people were worried about whether this uncle would exploit themselves or something, but now that he is Wang Yin, and he looks very good at talking, he is also relieved.

Next, under the leadership of Li Zheng, Wang Yin went to the people's homes to take a look.

Wang Yin didn't recognize the grain in the jar, it was probably an ancient crop, and it had almost just covered the bottom of the jar. At first glance, the furniture is hand-made, and if it can be used, nothing else will be considered.

Most of the houses are thatched huts made of adobe and wood, and they seem to be barely able to withstand the cold.

Several of the houses are even dilapidated, and the walls are covered with rain-washed traces.

"Vincy, your political achievements are really not good, you see that the living conditions of this villager are also poor." Wang Yin looked at Cao Wenxi: "You are really not greedy?" ”

"Uncle is wronged." Cao Wenxi was just about to open his mouth to defend himself, but the villager next to him spoke directly.

"Uncle..." Wang Erniu said: "Cao County Commander is a good official, he has always taken good care of us, and once after the snow disaster, the county commander personally led someone to help us repair the house, and finally almost fainted from exhaustion." ”

"Yes, uncle, Cao Xianling has always been very good to us, he has never bullied us, and he is still in charge of us everywhere, and there are really not many such good officials now." Seeing that his beloved county order was wronged, although the other party was an uncle, the people couldn't help but speak.

Wang Yin glanced around the crowd and saw that their expressions did not look like they were being persecuted, so he almost believed it.

"Vincy doesn't mind." Wang Yin patted Cao Wenxi on the shoulder: "It seems that you have done a good job, and you have won the hearts of the people." ”

"Uncle has won the award... Cao Wenxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh.

"Uncle, in fact, our village is quite good, there is a river, everyone can almost eat, and in some places irrigation is difficult, and there is basically no harvest in the dry season." Wang Erniu sighed: "When it is serious, it also happens from time to time to starve to death. ”

"So serious?" Wang Yin wondered.

"In the previous years of war, Datang was too seriously injured, and the people have not yet recovered, and now most of the people can't even eat." Cao Wenxi sighed.

Cheng Lingxue is also silent at the moment, this kind of real contact with the life of the people at the bottom is the first time for him, he has only heard that the people are living very hard and can't eat, but he doesn't have a clear concept in his mind.

Now that all this is presented in front of her eyes, the impact must be strong.

"Hmm... Wang Yin pondered for a while, after he came to Datang, the real meaning of the village seemed to have seen the backing village and the current one, and after entering Chang'an, he went directly to the village, and he was indeed unclear about the living conditions of the people of Datang.

It seems that this Datang is worse than I imagined...

"Brother Yin, we're here!" Cheng Chumo's loud voice came from afar.
