The day after the light snow season is held annually at the mountain god festival.

This festival is a special festival in Heishui Prefecture, which was caused by a major earthquake more than 100 years ago, and the nearby mountains cracked, and people held sacrifices to appease the anger of the mountain gods.

The cattle and sheep that were crushed in the earthquake and the animals killed in the mountains were made into bacon and bacon and other winter supplies, and the dead were gathered together and thrown into fire pits and burned.

At that time, I didn't know who proposed it, whoever died this month should do everything simply, and then I couldn't delay the marriage of my children.

The mountain people were simple, and after drinking wine and eating meat and digging pits together, it was inevitable that they would get to know each other because they got together, so anyway, the man who died in the family soon found a new home.

The custom here is that the man helps the woman bury her ex-husband, so there is nothing to live together.

Later, the festival became a day for stockpiling supplies and the wedding of widows.

Whoever has a lot of materials to prepare for the winter, at this time they must be able to show it, and by the way, take some to the widow and little girl's house.

If the other party accepts it, then it means that the mountain god will go out to dance together during the festival, and what will you do after the dance? Of course, it's a run-in.

Since the beginning of the month, every household has been preparing new quilts, bacon, bacon, vegetable rice and noodles, cleaning the cellar, replanning the space of the house, and breeding and breeding of livestock.

Today is the light snow season, and there are still two days before the mountain god festival.

Wang Lanling is also more concerned about this festival, the mountain god sacrifice is the old man's saying, and most people call it the widow's day.

The requirements for the man to marry a woman in Heishui County are not high, even if the county person marries the township, the main thing is that she is healthy and able to work, not a sick man, nor is she the kind of idle person.

As long as you dress up a little and be clean, it's not the kind of crooked melon and cracked dates, and it's not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.

Fields can be rented from others, houses can also be built by themselves, and powerful down-to-earth men are popular at any grassroots level.

As long as you don't marry a woman with too good conditions, the cost of marrying a daughter-in-law is not high, and the cost of marrying a widow is even lower.

Wang Lanling was also more concerned about the affairs of his subordinates, so he asked: "The people on our side, who are over eighteen years old, are basically married, right?" ”

Relatively speaking, men still like little girls, like big girls over 20 years old, and they are basically people who can't find a partner.

Wang Lanling is an exception, and his cognition and preferences have been influenced by another era to a certain extent.

Tian Yuanfang quickly said: "They are all married, my lord, these people under your command are all good men with strength and work, I don't know how many people in the city have come to talk to the matchmaker, where are they still left?" ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "That's fine, inform it, those who are married don't want to dance with people other than their wives at the mountain god festival, don't flirt with women, don't talk to beautiful girls on their own acquainted, let Bian Shiying take people to inspect, and if they find that our people have broken the rules, they will be dismissed directly on the spot, and they will never be hired in the future." ”

"Yes!" Tian Yuanfang solemnly agreed.

The rest of the people had no opinion on this request, although they also felt that Wang Lanling was nosy, but after all, it was Lord Wang's request, and they still had to listen.

Wang Lanling looked at the rest of the people.

"I don't go out often these days, I've been studying at home all the time, so you can talk about anything you have."

Yin Wuwu stood up and said: "There are some problems over there in Lingtong County, I am slowly solving them, and the businessman over there said that he was reminded by the people above that he can't buy things from us again." ”

Wang Lanling remembered the county guard of Lingtong County, and still had some impressions of that person.

is different from Yun Talent, Zhou Youjie gives Wang Lanling the feeling that he is an official who is willing to do things.

Wang Lanling asked, "How are you going to solve it?" ”

Yin Wuwu doesn't have to be reminded by Wang Lanling about everything, he is also a capable person.

"The county guard won't let the people there come to buy things, so we'll pull them over and sell them!" Our vendors in Lingtong County were not embarrassed, and I don't think the people of Lingtong County wanted to offend us too much. ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "This is a solution, but I have a better suggestion." ”

Yin Wuwu quickly clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down and said, "Please also ask the adults to teach you." ”

Wang Lanling said: "Although the mountain god festival is a unique festival on our side, this kind of autumn harvest and winter storage festival is in many places, and when people are idle, plus they have to prepare things, they will naturally give birth to festivals." ”

"It's not snowing yet, and the river isn't frozen, it's a relatively calm time of the year, and when there's nothing to do, it's even quieter when the Heishui River freezes."

"I give 10,000 catties of meat, pork, mutton, beef each have a part, and then some eggs, whether it is Heishui County or Lingtong County and other counties, towns and villages, the elderly over 50 years old can come over to receive half a catty of eggs or two taels of meat for free, until supplies last."

Yin Wuwu couldn't understand what this had to do with business, and said suspiciously: "My lord is going to hold a banquet?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "It's good for the people, and it's also to let more people know about our Heishui County." ”

Yin Wuwu is not stupid, nor stupid, but the way of thinking about the problem is mainly reflected in official affairs, he said: "With so many people coming, more manpower is needed to maintain law and order, how should the county magistrate and the governor say it?" ”

"What do I do with them?" Wang Lanling said coldly, and said impatiently: "Talk to the people in the county about this matter, everything I do is for their good!" ”

"More people know about Heishui County and are willing to come over, so that business here will be good, everyone will have a job, and there is no need to work hard to farm."

"When a large number of people come, it is inevitable that there will be some noisy problems, and the dialect on our side is also different from that of Lingtong County, so we must obey the command, and everything must be quickly transmitted to the person in charge of the street."

Yin Wuwu still felt tricky, but he also sensed the benefits.

If this time is arranged, it will be to deal with the operation of at least tens of thousands of people, which can be more vigorous than when it is a conscription.

This kind of work experience in handling the affairs of tens of thousands of people is a merit for anyone with ambitions.

Anyway, with Wang Lanling in charge, Yin Wuwu quickly said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

Wang Lanling looked at a few people, "Hu Guiqiao is responsible for registration and records, Yin Wuwu is responsible for the overall coordination, care and distribution of materials, Tian Yuanfang is responsible for public security, Bian Shiying leads people to patrol and guide the township roads outside the county seat, and the rest of the people are waiting for them to be sent." ”

"We can't just rely on us for this matter, so we have to let the people from various towns and counties help to explain it clearly, and after all, they are old people, and they can't hear some things after being said a hundred times, our manpower can't be wasted here, I will find some old men and old ladies to be in charge of this."

Reprimanding the old man, Wang Lanling can't do it, and his subordinates can't do it, it's too bad for his reputation.

Even if the other party is really anxious, you can't scold.

The same is true for officials, not only Wang Lanling, but even the governor is not easy to deal with an old man, so the little ghosts and soldiers are the best endorsements, and it is enough to directly block these people from the door.

The officials control the people, and the common people hate and want to replace the majestic cool officials, thinking that he can become a master one day and not be angry.

When the common people don't want to be lackeys, they don't want to become big officials, and they just want to let those who bully people die, then it's time to change the dynasty.

Now there are countless people who want to be officials, and there are even more people who are willing to marry their daughters to small officials.

Wang Lanling knew from the attitude and behavior of his subordinates that this was a peaceful and prosperous era.

Yin Wuwu, Hu Guiqiao and others all agreed, but they felt that Lord Wang was going to do something big again!

However, Wang Lanling's buttocks, although he has always sat on the heads of these people, has always been of the same mind as these people.

This is a very interesting thing, Wang Lanling is very aware of the dream of Yin Wuwu and others to be promoted and make a fortune, but he just deceived these people to stay in the small ditch with him.

Hu Guiqiao took the initiative to say: "My lord, the textile factory has made a steam loom, and after a few days of operation, I found that the sound was too noisy, and there were often some small problems, which was not as fast as the movements of the craftsman." ”

Wang Lanling said gently: "It was like this at the beginning, but after slowly getting acquainted with it, after finding the problems of the machine, standardizing and improving, the efficiency went up, and the train at the beginning was not much faster than the carriage." ”

Hu Guiqiao responded: "Yes! There is also the recent grinding of flour and oil weaving are more, several riverside waterwheels are always running, the people are worried that they will not be able to use it in winter, so they come more, now most of them are using money, and there are not many IOUs outside. ”

Wang Lanling's total of IOUs issued is more than 10,000 yuan, which is not much, and he has been taking the initiative to repay those loans since he got married and has money, and he has taken the initiative to take back the large IOUs.

"How many IOUs are out there now?" Wang Lanling felt that there shouldn't be much.

Hu Guiqiao said: "There are 1,000 IOUs, 900 yuan are people from some villages and townships, and the remaining more than 100 are from the county. ”

Wang Lanling frowned, "Check it out!" How could the villagers accumulate so many IOUs and not spend them? I think someone went down and collected the IOU! ”

The money that can be spent is the money, Wang Lanling has always taken the initiative to repay the loan, and the villagers are not so closed to the point that the news is blocked.

Even if someone doesn't care about the money, there won't be an IOU of 900 yuan stuck in the poor jingle village.

Now that it's cold, there will only be more places to spend money, and it's impossible not to.

Moreover, Wang Lanling has already taken the initiative to give a large amount of loans, and the rest is a few cents of small money, which is scattered among more than 1,000 people.

Seeing that Wang Lanling was angry, Bugong quickly said nervously: "My lord, this is indeed someone who went to the countryside to buy an IOU, mainly for collection......"

"Collection?" Wang Lanling frowned and looked at Bugong, "I remember that I said a long time ago that the IOU can only be used by myself or my family, and you don't know how many people will be involved in the countryside with an IOU of 900 yuan?" Why is there no sensitivity at all? ”

Wang Lanling looked at Zhao Gongqian, "You go to investigate this matter, but I want to see who reached out to me." ”

Zhao Gongqian has never had anything to do, and since Wang Lanling had money, he has been polite to the Zhao family, as if he was raising idlers.

"Yes!" Zhao Gongqian agreed, feeling that he suddenly had some sense of existence.

Bugong felt the strong pressure, his forehead was hot, and his palms were sweaty.

"My lord......" Bugong lowered his head and said nervously: "It's a villain...... and the county's cloth merchant Yan and Yu and Zhu Bozhong, the owner of the rice shop, did it together, because I felt that it was not good for you to owe money, so I took the initiative to repay the money for you......"

Pay him back?

Wang Lanling had already repaid the money owed to Yan Heyu and Zhu Bozhong and others, and it was useless for these people to excuse themselves, and they didn't want to have any more financial ties when they paid off their debts.

As a result, these people colluded with their own people to occupy what Wang Lanling gave to the villagers.

Wang Lanling did not object to the villagers taking the IOU to him to do things, although he has always advocated the recovery of the IOU, but only for some people it is forcible collection, and the rest of the people are mainly guided.

But these people do not include such investment businessmen!!

If Wang Lanling hadn't noticed the problem after hearing it this time, I was afraid that when some interests were involved, these people would have sent IOUs to those small people.

Officials control the people, and merchants and landlords also like to hijack public opinion to force the people above to change their policies.

Wang Lanling looked at Bugong calmly, and there was no good face.

Bugong quickly knelt on the ground, unable to say a word of begging for mercy, and waited for the judgment with his head bowed.

After five or six seconds, Wang Lanling spoke: "Hu Guiqiao, go to these people to take back the IOU, and you can spend as much as you want." ”

"Yes!" Hu Guiqiao agreed.

There are some things that Hu Guiqiao didn't say, even Bugong also approached him and wanted to buy a part of the IOU, but Hu Guiqiao didn't agree.

Hu Guiqiao didn't tell Wang Lanling about this kind of thing after refusing.

First, he felt that they were all his own people, and Bugong was still the first group of people to follow Wang Lanling, so he couldn't say.

The second is that Wang Lanling rarely asks about the affairs of the Environmental Sanitation Department, and Hu Guiqiao feels that as long as he manages this place well, there will be no problem.

Thinking about it now, Hu Guiqiao found that he was too naïve, and he was almost cheated by his own people.

Wang Lanling looked at Bugong and said: "That's it, Zhu Bozhong bought some supplies for me to go to Lingtong County, and you have also done a lot of things for me, I am not a person who does not miss the old love, but next time there is such a thing, we will be strangers." ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Bugong quickly kowtowed and apologized, and he was also relieved.

Yin Wuwu noticed Wang Lanling's attitude, and took the initiative to say, "What does the adult say about Yan Heyu?" This man has come to us several times to ask for a meeting, and he is also very interested in our looms, and wants to do business with you. ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "At the end of the year, it is estimated that the county order will also do something to the pigs at home." ”

Yin Wuwu was mentioned by Wang Lanling, and quickly figured out the cause and effect, "I see, I also learned about this when I was in the county, because of the shortage of mulberry mulberry silk, the county order issued a trade approval for several cloth merchants in Heishui County, and bought a lot of cloth from the outside to cope with the inspection at the end of the year." ”

After the inspection is over, it is naturally time to kill the pigs.

This matter has nothing to do with Wang Lanling, he will not participate, Yan Heyu and those people he knew the result from the beginning, especially these people hit his mind on him again, Wang Lanling naturally has no consciousness to block people's knives.

Those who are unlucky are not wronged, how can they believe the words of the officials?

Although it was indeed because of his own relationship that the county order had the idea of raising pigs, Wang Lanling has always hated the profiteer who sold the riverside house to himself in exchange for business qualifications.

If the house hadn't been renovated by someone from the Construction Division, it would never have been so peaceful.

Who are the people living around the house?

They are all vicious people!

After returning home from the meeting, Wang Lanling took a quiet nap on the bed, and read the sleep cheats as usual before going to bed.

When he woke up, Wang Lanling felt that the palm of his right hand was a little numb.

"Spicy Hands Buddha Heart"

Editor's note:

[If you have killed someone, then cultivating this book of martial arts will not help you, it is better to learn other martial arts. 】

[If you think you can't kill, then don't cultivate, this book won't help you either.] 】

[If you kill fewer people, your achievements will not be high.] 】

[Even if you cultivate to the highest level, you can't stop the bombs in the barracks, and you can't stop the masters who cultivate the rest of the cheats, so you need to be cautious when practicing martial arts and don't hurt people. 】

[If you kill someone, please consciously turn yourself in to the nearest yamen, take the initiative to bear your own faults, and don't shift the responsibility to this book. 】

This sleep aid book, which has always been regarded by Wang Lanling as a sleep cheat, is actually a Buddhist mind that emphasizes the unity of mind and action, rather than a martial arts cheat.

It is the kind of exercise that requires compassion in the mouth, heart, and mind, and learns to understand others, but there is absolutely no ambiguity in the hands.

It's not hypocrisy, it's the kind of person who always firmly believes that you deserve to die, but will still sympathize with you, persuade you, and then kill you.
