Chapter 174: The Visit of the County Honored (1)
Wu Zheng felt that it was a good thing for the father and son of the Yang family, so he followed him, if he didn't move, he wouldn't move, as long as he could make the iron and steel he wanted.
And now the steel wire that Wu Zheng wants has taken shape in their hands, at least now the steel wire used to make strings has been drawn out by Yang Zi.
The steel wire is very thin, very strong and sharp, and the fifteen steel wires are kneaded into a single force that can withstand the tension of seven hundred catties in an instant when used as a bowstring, for which Wu Zheng also asked Yang Er to make a five-meter steel wire for himself, which is like a ball of fishing line in his hand, and this is even more suitable than the steel wire of the blade for self-defense or for trapping people.
The early morning of Shenmu Village began with the sound of cannons, the hour was better than the roosters raised in the village, and the night also came with the sound of cannons.
At first, the people in the village were still a little unaccustomed, the sound of the cannon was too loud, and every time the cannon was fired, the ground shook and the mountains shook, as if the whole village of the family was shattered.
At first, the people in the village would stand on the cliff behind the mountain to watch, and every cannon would attract a burst of cheers.
But now basically no one cares, because he is used to it, he blows himself up and is busy with his own, where is the occasional sand falling on the roof because of the artillery shock, and the people in the stockade just shoot dust on their bodies and don't take these things seriously at all.
On the contrary, if they don't fire the guns, they are still a little unaccustomed to it.
Compared with now, Wu Zheng got the news that He County's order from Longtan County was coming, so he informed He Lao Wu that they would stop the cannon today.
"Fifth Uncle, don't you think it's a little weird today?" A young man was walking back to the cottage with a hoe on his shoulder, and asked the elder who was holding the ox beside him.
"It's a little weird, I always feel like something is wrong."
"You feel that way, too?" Another man on the same road: "It feels like ...... How! Do you think it's too quiet today? β
When everyone pondered, wasn't it too quiet? It's been all morning, and I haven't heard the sound of the cannonball.
"I'm so weird, it turned out that He Lao Wu didn't fire the cannon today."
At this moment, a carriage chased up along the mountain road, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a guy dressed in a mountain house suit with a goatee poked his head out and asked curiously: "This old brother is invited, dare to ask what you just said about the cannon?" β
The three of them stood on the road and glanced at the people in the car, and the person gave Sanrao the impression that he was noble with two words, although the words sounded quite kind, but the two nasolabial folds on the corners of his mouth knew at a glance that this old thing was not a good thing.
So there was a question: "What else could it be?" Hit the tongue! Then He Lao Wu didn't talk to anyone today, and all of a sudden our ears and roots were cleared, which made us feel a little uncomfortable today. By the way, brother, are you going to our Shenmu Village? β
The person in the car laughed: "Yes! You Shenmu Village has created a miracle in the world, and it is really worth the trip when you see it today! Isn't this mountain field a miracle on earth? β
"Hehe, this is all our uncle's ability, if we who have planted crops all our lives, if we were not ordered by him, how could we know that this paddy field can still be planted in the mountains. You see that the rice in this field is now a foot high, if anyone dares to open a field on this mountain, I will be the first to tear his mouth. β
The people in the car smiled, not knowing whether they were laughing at the other party's words about the farmer all his life, or laughing at him for daring to intimidate himself in front of him.
Wu Zheng stood at the gate of the village and watched all this on the mountainside from a distance, he knew that he was here to open the terraces of Kenken, and the government would send people sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the first one to come was actually a county magistrate in Longtan County.
But thinking about it, I was quickly relieved, if it was in other places, this Gao Emperor's far county order was a soil emperor, but in this Longtan County, Yu is the county of Yuzhou, and the Assassin Yamen is here, and your Longtan County Order is a bird in this Yuzhou City!
In white, this Longtan County Order is just a pawn who came to listen to the truth, before the terraces of Shenmu Mountain are not confirmed, don't be the Yuzhou Assassin and the old man of Naxia, and even the master of the Assassin Mansion can't come, for fear of making jokes They can't afford to lose this person.
"Xianggong, then the He County Order is just an eight-rank County Order, which is equivalent to you in terms of grade, you don't need to stand at the door to greet him in person!"
Seinfeld looked at Wu Zheng suspiciously, but Wu Zheng smiled and said: "That's right, I am indeed the same grade as him, but I am a civil official and I am a military attachΓ©!" I've inquired, now in our Great Zhou army has eaten too much defeat, so now the court is the head of the surrender faction, in this case, the status of the military attache is not comparable with the civilian official, not to mention that your family is still just a military officer, in front of the He County Commander who has real power in hand, what is I, the Xuanjie Lieutenant of the Eighth Grade? β
"Then why did Xianggong start from martial arts in the first place, it is not difficult to test a civil official with Xianggong's ability!"
"Alas! This is a long story, what's the matter! First, I don't want to pay taxes and some of the conveniences that come with having an official, although the current military attache is not worth much, but there is still a privilege of not having to pay taxes. Come on! Then I am afraid that our old Wu family will have bad luck, and the ancestors don't know who they offended in the court, that guy is stuck in the career of our old Wu family, and this is the result of my grandfather's repeated attempts when he came to me. That's why I couldn't take this path. β
In fact, there is nothing to do in the fields at this time, but they suddenly have so many fields at once, and every time they don't go to their own fields, they always feel that they are not defeated.
Seeing Seinfeld and Wu Zheng standing at the door of the stockade, everyone came over to greet the two warmly.
From their faces full of beautiful expectations for the future, Wu Zheng could see that these former robbers were now full of hope for a good life in the future.
They are full of hope, and Wu Zheng is actually the same, as long as this hopeful mood in his heart is hooked, the depression in his heart will not be swept away.
He County's carriage finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and as soon as it appeared in Wu Zheng's field of vision, Wu Zheng immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "The person who came is He County's Zun of Longtan County?" β
The carriage stopped, and the smiling face of He Xianling appeared in the window when the curtain opened.
"He Mou was just entrusted by the superior to come to Shenmu Mountain to inspect the terraces, how can he bother Captain Wu to greet him personally, isn't this a torment for He?"
It's a twist, but this guy didn't mean to get out of the car, so he just sat in the carriage and looked at Wu Zheng outside the car window with a smile.
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "If you want to get it, how can the county be a guest from afar!" It's my duty for the host to go out to welcome guests, so why bother. Please ...... inside the county."
He Xianling nodded, then lowered the curtain and followed Wu Zheng to the front of the village, but it looked like Wu Zheng, who was walking in front of the carriage, looked like a horse boy who led the horse for He Xianling.
Wu Zheng didn't care either, because there was no way to do it, although this He County Order was not a thing in Yuzhou, but if it was offended, it would bring a lot of trouble to his future development.
People like him can't do good things, but if they want bad things, they will be bad and accurate. A smile today can save you a lot of trouble in the future, so why not do this kind of thing?
It's just that Seinfeld couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to spoil her father-in-law's business, so she turned around and left, and simply came out of sight.
Wu Zheng only smiled at this, and led He County's carriage into Shenmu Village.
Along the way, He Xianling looked at Shenmu Village through the car curtain but was full of curiosity, like many people who came to Shenmu Village for the first time, this clean Shenmu Village is not at all like the bandit nest in their impression, it is difficult to imagine that a group of bandits and robbers actually cleaned up the village than the village under the mountain.
There is no smell of urine in the air, but is full of the fragrance of the earth, a straight loess road is not only smooth and smooth but also swept clean, although the children on both sides of the road are not very well dressed, but they look very clean, although some are like a mud monkey, but children! There are no ones who don't roll on the ground, but the problem is that they don't see a single grease stain on their bodies.
You must know that in those villages below the mountain, don't be such a big child, even if it is an adult, the collar and cuffs are not a piece of black oil.
But it is not visible here, which can only be made clear, that is, the people who live here often wash their clothes, even children's clothes, and only those clothes that are often washed can see the freshly stained ash and not the old stains of black oil.
"Captain Wu, your stockade is very special!"
He Xian ordered the carriage to get out of the carriage, because the car had stopped at the door of Wu Zheng's house.
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Does the county also want our Shenmu Village to be clean?" β
He Xian Ling was surprised and said: "Captain Wu, has anyone other than He been to this Shenmu Village?" β
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "That is, the shopkeeper and buddy of Tongchang Firm, by the way, the old man Xia also came last year." β
He Xianling was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Captain Wu's is the emperor's old man?" β
"That's right! It was the old foodie who came to me and tricked me into a dumpling, but he didn't know that the courgettes he paid me for the meal were a good thing. β
He Xianling obviously didn't care if the courgette was a good thing, what he cared about now was Wu Zheng's casual tone when he was old Xia, you must know that every time he mentioned Xia Lao, which time was not a bow of worship, and only after the reverence in his eyes did he start to continue?
Where is Wu Zheng, who is still an old foodie? This made He Xianling couldn't help but ask in surprise again: "Is yours really the old man of the emperor?" 166 Reading Network
