Chapter 60: The Public

On February 14, before Wang Lanling's funeral leave ended, he took the people of the dung division to plant trees by the river.

Tian Yuanfang was puzzled and asked, "My lord, what kind of tree are we?" ”

"My dad died." Wang Lanling gave an irrefutable reason.

This reason is so strong that it explodes!

Although I was very puzzled why your father had to plant trees when he died, Tian Yuanfang didn't dare to ask, for fear of touching something.

There is only one father!

Wang Lanling wants to plant trees, and the rest of the people can only accompany them.

Willow trees are planted by the river, and there are some small saplings bought from the mountains.

Wang Lanling bought saplings in the hope that someone could cultivate more saplings because of this, otherwise it would be meaningless to change from the mountains to the city.

These days, the farmers in the neighborhood are relatively idle, and when they saw Wang Lanling pulling a cart of saplings to plant trees nearby, they all came to help.

Mainly the people of the big dung division, as well as some neighbors in the east of the city.

The mountain is planted with chopping wood, a kind of wild growth, only suitable for chopping wood.

Heishui County is located near the river at the foot of the mountain, several kilometers away from the mountain, and there are already dirt roads from Heishui County to the next village and town, so it is not difficult to ride a bicycle.

After Wang Lanling planted two trees by the river, he handed over the matter of planting the trees to the others.

In the backyard, Wang Lanling planted two plane trees, transplanted from the mountain forest, which were already as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

A pit was dug and two small trees more than three meters tall were planted directly into it, but it is still unknown whether they will survive.

Anyone who helped plant trees, Wang Lanling gave a [free use coupon for toilets in the city (30 days)].

Something new is always something to experience.

Go ahead! Elegant toilets are waiting for you in front!

Just when Wang Lanling was tossing around indiscriminately and building a grape trespass with Lei A in the courtyard, there was a shout outside.

"Lord Wang! Hurry up and go to the county office, it's a good thing! ”

Wang Lanling looked at Tian Yuanfang, who was happy, and said indifferently: "What's a good thing?" I haven't been doing anything lately. ”

Tian Yuanfang said excitedly: "My lord! Let's go to the county office! The court said that you have made meritorious contributions and promoted you to the knighthood! After you have received the decree in the past, you are a priest! ”

Wang Lanling frowned, he felt a little puzzled.

Rhea had heard about it, too, and she had basically mastered some of the local sayings, but some of the uncommon terms were still a little uncertain.

"Husband, what's the matter?" Rhea heard the decree and was terrified when he heard it.

Wang Lanling explained: "It is said that I have made meritorious service and have been promoted to the title of duke, I will go and take a look." ”

Hearing that this was the case, Lei A breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll come here, husband, you can go to the county government first." ”

Wang Lanling washed his hands and followed Tian Yuanfang to the county office.

Tian Yuanfang's foot strength is also very good, and he runs very fast, anyway, he is faster than Wang Lanling.

After arriving, he saw a young man in a suit, and after the other party gave Wang Lanling a certificate of honor, Wang Lanling found out that the other party was a eunuch.

Wang Lanling thanked (shouted) in the local dialect, and then the other party left without staying to eat.

After the eunuch left, the county commander said to Wang Lanling with emotion: "You are so lucky, you have a title at such a young age, and my title is still fought to the death on the battlefield." ”

Wang Lanling looked at his honorary certificate, which had his name and place of origin written on it, as well as his official position and title information, with a portrait and an official seal.

Gongshi: 50 stone (5,000 catties) per year, another 1 hectare (100 acres), a house, and a servant.

"What's the matter with this title?" Wang Lanling said that he was very puzzled, and he was a little unclear about this.

The county magistrate saw that Wang Lanling didn't understand, so he explained: "There are public fields and residential land in the county, and you are now a public scholar, so you can allocate 100 acres of land to you, and then there is a nearby building, which is generally for farmers to live in." ”

"Servant, just find someone to help you take care of the fields and houses and collect rent, servants, you can choose the local service, or you can choose from the beauties and slaves who pay tribute from the subject countries."

Wang Lanling roughly understood what was going on, but he was puzzled again.

"The duke is the lowest title, there are 100 acres of land, so how much salary can the highest title have?"

The county magistrate laughed twice, "You will know this in the future, and when you are in charge, there will be a fief, and then the people of every city and county will have to pay you a poll tax!" ”

Wang Lanling suddenly has a field and a house, so he feels a little unrealistic.

"Where's my field?"

The county commander smiled, "You can go to the people of the Kuradian Institute to ask, I don't know." ”

Wang Lanling quickly retired, and Wei Xueli of the Cangdian Institute and he were old acquaintances.

Soon, Wang Lanling came to the Cangdian Office with his subordinates.

With so many people coming together, Wei Xueli quickly ran out.

"Lord Wang! Congratulations! Congratulations to Lord Wang for being promoted to the title, this is the face of our Heishui County! ”

Wei Xueli is very wary of this villain, the last time he sold grain at a high price, he was hacked by this kid a lot of things, and he didn't give a dime!

Although I was angry, I was more afraid.

Wei Xueli really can't afford to offend this kid, this kid is a whistleblower who can directly write documents to the state pastor!

Wang Lanling returned the salute with a fist, and didn't say anything else, and said directly: "Let me ask about my 100 acres of land, as well as the servants and the house, how are they divided?" Don't fool me when I'm young, I'm very careful! ”

Wei Xueli bent over and said embarrassedly: "Where, where, how dare I!" ”

Wang Lanling asked, "Where is this field?" ”

Wei Xueli invited Wang Lanling to sit aside, and he brought the map from his desk.

"Lord Wang, please see, this is our map of Heishui County, which has six counties, twenty-three towns, and three hundred and fifty-two villages."

A county with a population of 10,000 is a small county, and the chief official is the county magistrate.

The county with a population of more than 100,000 is a large county, and the highest official is the county magistrate.

Wang Lanling looked at the geographical map of mountains and rivers on the table, this was the first time he knew where he was and learned about the entire territory of Heishui County.

Looking at this dense marking, Wang Lanling quickly said: "Where does the one on the other side of the Chengdong River belong?" ”

Wei Xueli didn't look at the map, and said directly: "You are talking about the east side of Heishui Bridge, where is Xiashan Village, which was originally a wasteland six years ago, and then a group of people were resettled from the mountains to live, all of whom are good people, except for farming for large families nearby, most of the local land is public land." ”

Wei Xueli thought for two seconds, and quickly said: "There are more than 4,200 acres of cultivated land there, and there are not many people who can farm, more than 2,000, in addition to the thin fields distributed by some large households and local farmers, there are more than 1,000 acres of land, and the population is more than 4,000 people. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xueli looked at Wang Lanling embarrassedly, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and the kid in front of him was not admitted.

However, Wang Lanling didn't have that kind of consciousness at all, and naturally he didn't feel that Wei Xueli was offending him.

"Well, that's going to be over there! Close to home! ”

Wei Xueli nodded, "That mansion is also a nearby building for you, can you have a six-story one?" It can live in more than 10 households, and it is exactly 100 acres of land. ”

Some farmers are eager to live in the building, after all, the population has expanded over the years, and those who have been separated from the building are also looking for a new home.

For example, in Wangjiabao, more and more people have to find a new place on their own.

As long as the peasant family has a field to plant and a house to live in, and the rest does not need to be purchased, they will gather and live on their own.

Of course, farming and living need to pay tribute to Wang Lanling.

"Good! What do you think of the servant's affairs? Wang Lanling didn't understand a lot, so he asked this person's opinion.

Wei Xueli said with a smile: "This is not difficult at all, to work for you is to go out of conscription, you don't need to dig ditches to open mountains and roads, and you don't need to be a soldier to suppress bandits, this is something that many people are asking for, if you can't find anyone, Lord Wang, I'll find you one?" ”

Wang Lanling thought for a moment and said, "I'll do this myself, I'll take a look at the matter of the field first, and then make a decision tomorrow." ”

Wei Xueli said with a smile: "Yes, you can't do this, don't worry about this, Lord Wang, you can tell me when you think about it." ”
