A town mayor is nothing, but it brings him one step closer to Qin Shi Huang.

And with this position, a lot of things can be done blatantly.

First of all, the first step is to take Qinghe Town as its own experimental development zone, and strive to build Qinghe Town into a preliminarily developed industrial town without violating the Qin law.

Of course, this still needs to be thought through.

When the sun was setting in the west, several horses carrying Chen Xu and Uncle Ma, as well as the pavilion chief and a few soldiers appeared in Xiaohe Village, and then Uncle Ma knocked on a broken gong to publicize Chen Xu as a pawn in Qinghe Town, and the whole village was stupid, one by one opened their mouths wide, and their eyes fell to the ground.

"yes~~ Brother is a pawn!" Apricot cheered first, and then the whole Xiaohe village boiled.

Lidian, that is the biggest official in Qinghe Town, many villagers, especially women, have been to the town as far as they die, and they have never seen Lidian in their lives.

At the same time, the pavilion chief who came with him also announced that the county decree would exempt Xiaohe Village from all summer grain taxes today, but all men must go to the county seat to accept the unified arrangement of the county order, and delegate it to the townships and towns to guide the construction of threshers, and this guidance is also regarded as a kind of conscription, which can be deducted from the autumn grain tax and the Ding Kou tax.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho~"

As soon as the news came out, the whole village was even more joyful, and both adults and children, men and women excitedly let out all kinds of primitive strange screams to express the most excited emotions in their hearts.

Although the tax grain exempted by each household is only 56, 78 stone, for the villagers, it is a few months' rations, and with this food, they will never go hungry again this year.

And all this was brought by this black and thin boy on horseback.

It was he who invented the thresher that gave rise to the good news of this exemption from taxes.

So a group of men rushed up, dragged Chen Xu off the horse, threw it high and caught it, in order to express their gratitude to Chen Xu.

"Damn,!"

In the process of flying up and falling, Chen Xu's face was pale with fright, and his mouth kept screaming like a ghost crying wolf.

What if these guys suddenly don't catch it?

"Haha, Lord Lidian is so happy, and his cries are so full of surprise!" Fan Kun laughed on his horse.

Because he got a threshing machine for the county magistrate, he was even rewarded and promoted, and now he has become the assistant of the county lieutenant Fang Kuan, assisting in dealing with the county's public security and arrest, and he used to be a retired soldier, with fourth-level military merits, and being able to mix into the county criminal police brigade as a captain, it can be regarded as a step to the sky when he becomes famous, and he has never thought about it in his life.

"What Master Fan said is extreme, and in the future, we will all rely on the guidance of adults to cultivate!" Several soldiers next to him were all patting sycophants with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Don't worry, we will be colleagues in the future, and we will naturally take care of each other!"

Although Fan Kun is proud, after all, he has been a soldier on the battlefield and killed people, and he has not got carried away, and most of these soldiers have come back from the battlefield, more or less all the first- and second-level military merits, and the county lieutenant Fang Kuan has a seventh-level military merit body, which is regarded as a knighthood in the county, and also has the real power to hold the army, which is not the same as ordinary soldiers with lords and no power.

Of course, it's okay not to arch, depending on the mood.

The villagers were so jubilant and lively that Chen Xu's overnight meal was almost turned upside down, and at the same time, he was so nervous that his soul almost crossed back from his body.

However, Chen Xu is reluctant to go back now.

Being able to be the mayor of the town here is much more awesome than being a bitter takeaway brother in the future.

And after getting along with this group of simple villagers for a long time, he also slowly liked this era.

And there are also Chen Jiang and Xing'er, the three of them depend on each other, and they have a family relationship that blood is thicker than water, so he can't give up.

The most important thing is that he has not yet met Qin Shi Huang Qin Da.

He was very eager to see this first emperor in Chinese history, and to see this famous figure who opened up the glorious civilization of China for 2,000 years, is it as black and tyrannical as described in the history books?

If he can assist him in conquering the earth, he can also eat all over the continent and satisfy the urge to deliver food every day in the future but can only drool at the Australian lobster on TV.

"Lord Lidian, we have completed the escort task, tomorrow you will lead the villagers who make the thresher to Qinghe Town, and then I will arrange an ox cart to transport them to the county seat and say goodbye!" Fan Kun waited for the villagers' emotions to calm down before he clenched his fists and said.

"Don't be busy, it's still early, it's nearly two hours on the road, get something to satisfy your hunger before it's too late, go to my house to rest first!"

Chen Xu felt comfortable, now that he has been promoted to Lidian, he will not only be exempted from grain tax in the future, but also have an official rank of dozens of stones every year, close to two thousand kilograms of grain in later generations, and the family will not be able to eat it all.

The villagers all dispersed excitedly to go home to prepare, Chen Xu also took Fan Kun and a few soldiers home to drink tea and rest, while Chen Jiang and Xing'er hurriedly kneaded the dumplings with bread and pork filling.

"Lord Lidian, what is this, why is it so fine and snow-white?" Fan Kun and several of his soldiers were stunned by the flour that Chen Jiang had poured out of the crockpot.

"Hehe, this is flour ground from a stone mill, and I will make a delicious food for everyone to satisfy their hunger later!"

"Snow white and delicate like green salt, it looks very delicious, so it will bother today!" Fan Kun was promoted because of Chen Xu, so he was also very polite to Chen Xu, and the most important thing was the county order's affectionate attitude towards Chen Xu, which made him have to respect him.

At the age of fourteen, he became a lidian, and his future is simply limitless, not to mention that everyone is still a person in the town, and he may need Chen Xu to take care of one or two in the future.

Under the skillful service of Chen Jiang and Xing'er, soon the dumplings were wrapped out, like a full crescent moon neatly placed on the board of the wooden table, which looked extremely pleasing to the eye, and then boiled the underwater pot, and in less than half an hour, several bowls of steaming dumplings were placed in front of Fan Kun and a few soldiers.

"Guys, I've been hungry all day, please!" Chen Xu also couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.

"Thank you, Lord Ridian, you're welcome to wait!" Faced with this bowl of dumplings that had never been seen before, Fan Kun and a few soldiers were also a little impatient, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat them.

And the result is naturally that a few primitive people who have never seen the food of the later generations were shocked and fascinated, except for saying that it is delicious and delicious, they can only express it with actions, but in a few minutes, everyone eats a bowl of dumplings cleanly, and even drinks not a drop of noodle soup.

"It can be called a peerless delicacy in the world, soft and smooth, refreshing and fragrant, can you take the liberty of asking Lord Lidian, how is this flour made?" A group of people still can't give up after eating.

"Well, it's with this stone grinder!" Chen Xu pointed to the stone mill placed under the pergola and said, "The material is the wheat that has just been harvested, and when I go to Qinghe Town, when Fan Daren and you want to eat, you can also grind some flour and make it yourself at home, it's very simple!" ”

"That's good, that's good, it's getting late today, so I won't disturb Lord Lidian's rest, and say goodbye!" Fan Kun was excited, stood up with a few soldiers to say goodbye, and soon rode a horse to meet the sunset and left Xiaohe Village.
