Two taels of silver for a meal, and a clever little scholar to serve him, the dog felt that this business was okay, so he painted a big cake with Yang Xiaoxiu along the way, bluffing him again and again, and was full of expectations for his future life.

The fifteen-mile journey took a carriage to walk unhurriedly, and it only took an hour at most, and all the dogs and their party arrived at the long-lost Yuchuan county seat, and the time was only in the afternoon.

Naturally, the North City Gate can't be entered, even if Li County's order is now handed over from his errand and has become a loose official with no real power, his former decree is still not revised.

From the letter written by Tang Xiaoer to himself, Gou'er knew that in today's Youchuan County, the government affairs are handled by Sun Zhubo in the east, and the criminal affairs are under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant Liu in the west.

The dog, who was full of expectations, thought that he would see a large group of familiar faces at the west gate of Yuchuan City, but when people entered the city, they didn't see half of the people who came to pick them up, and even Liu Tou, who guarded the city gate, was said to have been transferred to the east gate, so sadness was always inevitable.

The disappointed dog had to silently enter the city, Yuchuan County is still the same, the street pushes the wheelbarrow vendors, the merchants carrying the burden along the street to sell, followed by a group of moneyless babies, from time to time by the merchant like a fly waving away, but, after a while, this group of babies and fingers around around.

The dog who watched it was distressed for a while, and suddenly remembered Dasha's ideals, as far as the situation I saw so far, eating meat from a moment's notice? It's really as difficult as ascending to the sky.

"Elementary school? Hey, it's really an elementary school! Elementary school is back! ”

"Come and see, the little good man in Nancheng is back!"

Thanks to the good deeds of teaching literacy to the children of the whole city in the first month, the reputation of the dog is unusually high in Xicheng, and the dog became an official, and it spread throughout the city after the return of the people of Yuchuan, not to mention anything else, just a beggar was born, and he was able to become an official of the imperial court, which is a great blessing and a great ability.

Therefore, today's dogs are like ordinary people watching stars in later generations, and they are surrounded by the crowd at the moment they just enter the Xichengfang Grass Market sub-set.

When the news spread throughout the city, first Dasha, a group of beggars, and then a group of official-faced figures from Dasha to Liu County Lieutenant, greeted them.

"Zhao Tiju, we didn't expect you to come at this time, you are far away, forgive your sins!"

Lifting the briquette division is the official name of the dog before the official position of the lock hall, so Sun Zhubo and his party call themselves so.

"Brother Zhao, my brother has set up a scene tonight, do you remember to come!"

This title is by Liu County Lieutenant, a senior in officialdom who is now about the same level as Gou'er, and calling Gou'er's name like this not only shows the unusual relationship between the two sides, but also points out that some people should stop bothering to make bad ideas.

As for the titles of "Zhao Dagou", "Brother Dog", and "Dog Lord" in the back, you can reply later.

"Master Sun, County Lieutenant Liu, how can the kid He De actually bother you two to come here to greet you, it's really a killing boy!"

Although County Lieutenant Liu and the dog are close, on such occasions outside, they have to reply according to the size of their official position, so the dog rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowed directly to the ground, and bowed respectfully to the two.

"The little brother is humble, now I am equivalent to a colleague of the court, and I am a hometown figure, so I naturally have to welcome it!"

Yuchuan County, where the dog was born and raised, so it is not wrong to use the word hometown, and these two parents as the county officials came out to greet them to show their closeness.

So the dog confessed again and again, and turned to the people who came to greet him, as well as the people who warmly cheered him, and expressed his gratitude, and then took Da Dalang and his party to the yamen.

The greeting banquet is naturally set up in the back house of the yamen, and the cook who cooks the dishes is naturally in charge of Li, and someone asked, why don't you eat in the restaurant outside? Is it because of the bad impact? Or do you want to show your dog that you value it?

Well, none of these are the root causes, the fundamental reason is that the only restaurant in Yuchuan County was destroyed by the war last year, and so far, there are only restaurants in the county that eat common meals, and their craftsmanship is not as good as the cooks in the yamen.

After a lot of nonsense, plus the sound of patting the table full of sycophants, the dog's reception banquet was over, a lot of things were sorted out, and the two officials in the county were given the "native products" brought from Longzhou, and the task was over, and the dog returned to the small courtyard of the Ba family after a long absence, oh no, it should be said that the small courtyard of the Zhao family in Nancheng.

Here, Liu Tou and his men, as well as Lu An, a former Western Army grain officer who had been a cellmate, and a few mute men who arrived first, were also drinking at the table.

Dasha, Gou Yu, Hu Dakang brothers, and Cao Abao, who ran over to eat, had already gone crazy in the courtyard, Liu Hong, a girl's family, actually took a stone and a big tooth and Wang Xiaoyi's led Li Zimu and Da Hei, played against each other, fortunately, Da Hei's little wife Hei Xiaohua knew the difference between men and women, and was stunned to pull Liu Hong away, otherwise tomorrow there would be a mouthy mother-in-law, gossip, "The little willow shopkeeper of the Zhao family's big bowl of tea shop, hugging those male babies without shame."

The first to find out that the dogs came back were those beggars who did not look like beggars, this group of babies, large and small, dressed in decent clothes, stood respectfully in front of the fence wall and bowed to the dogs, and the happy dogs praised Gao Xiucai on the side again and again.

"Zhao Da Dog Yi School", just opposite the tea shed built by the dog in Dongcheng, when the dog was still in the Western Army, when the idiot monk came to the army to find himself, he chatted a few words.

I heard that after I left, this group of little beggars relied on the relationship between Zhao Zhutou and Liu Tou to fight and brawl idle every day in the county.

The angry dog's teeth hurt, and he specially begged Wu Lan to use the postman in the army and sent them a letter, the content of which was to build a few grass sheds so that these guys who disliked the dogs could read and write, so as not to make trouble in the county like a scoundrel every day, and the person in charge of this matter was naturally Hu Xiaokang's husband, Gao Xiucai, for this reason, the dog offered a price of 300 wen a month for him to control this group of little beggars.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, but this group of little beggars really understands a lot of etiquette, so the dog dragged Gao Xiucai, who was trying to leave, back to the house, and took out an ingot of five taels of silver in front of everyone and handed it to him.

This hand made everyone look at each other, and the older ones knew that the dog wanted to ask him to do something, and the younger ones would only feel the dog's atmosphere.

"Gao Xiucai tried his best to teach you from a bunch of wild baby-like people to be polite, this is a great talent, so I will build a college today, and invite Gao Xiucai to be the dean! My brothers and I have to follow him to study carefully, wait for the articles to be good for the imperial examination, and do some facts for the country and the people, so that this life is worth it and waste time in vain. ”

"Good, great good!"

Zhao Zhutou, who sent the dog, learned to look like a scholar, and praised the dog loudly with his thumb.

As for Gao Xiucai, he had already been surprised, his face was flushed with excitement, he took the silver taels in the dog's hand, patted his chest at everyone and promised:

"The old man will definitely not live up to the trust of Zhao Xiaoguan, if he doesn't run this academy well in this life, he will never admit defeat."

A group of beggars hurriedly bent down and arched their hands: "Congratulations to the dean!" We will study hard. ”

"Good, good!"

Gao Xiucai, who was brushing his beard, raised his hand to everyone with red cheeks, and the young men bowed three times before straightening up.

Running a private academy, for today's dogs, it is very simple, go back to the yamen to get an approval, and then go to the Yuchuan County School to report a name, at most an hour can be done, so everyone is willing to be an official, if there is no official clothes, at most can only open a clan school, like large-scale enrollment and support for the Yuchuan County School, it is not even a thought, annoying the officials in charge of the county, and taking a breath can be dealt with with as "illegal gathering, teaching crooked cultists".

Waving his hand to drive away a group of teenagers who were chattering and clamoring for a name for the academy, the dog entered the shack.

Yang Xiaoxiu, who was following closely, also hurriedly walked in, and Da Dalang naturally went to talk to Lu An, and for a while, there were only a few people left in the house.

"Master Liu, the dog is back, thank you for taking care of them for most of the past six months, today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

"Good, good! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

The dog had a lot of words of thanks to say in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say anything when he was choked, so he had to clumsily raise his wine glass, arch his hand to Liu Tou, and drink a full glass.

The tree is very popular, not to mention that it is a group of rich children, which naturally attracts many people to rob it, why do these little beggars fight every once in a while? The reason is here, people find a little reason, just let you pay for it, and even directly slander them for stealing money, and the angry children will start fighting, and then they will be sued by others to go to the yamen.

Under the "conclusive evidence", although the group of Liu County Lieutenant and his gang who tried the case said that they would not severely punish the children if they took care of the dog's face, they still needed to pay for the injuries and medicines of others.

People are poor and easy to go crooked, so the dog will send more than ten dollars to these children every month as pocket money, in addition to these, the business of firewood in Youchuan County is handed over to them, and there are more than a dozen money every month, do you say it can not attract people's attention?

Fortunately, there is Liu Tou to help him in private, and Zhao Zhutou in the yamen to take care of him, and in the past half a year, he has beaten away several people in Dongcheng who have come to steal business, and the dog's firewood business can become bigger and bigger, and now there are hundreds of people involved in this firewood alone.

Not to mention the charcoal workshop that was set up later, the charcoal blocks burned every month can be loaded into hundreds of carriages, and all of them are sold to Chengdu Mansion, of course, all this has to be thanks to Gou'er's cellmate Lu An, if there is no him, this business will not be so hot.

So the dog raised his glass and drank with him, thanked him for helping the poor children find food and clothing, and then asked him to take care of the charcoal workshop, that is, the chief steward of the workshop.

Just when the dog was toasting to a group of people, at the gate, there were two neighing sounds, and after a while, the dog led Tang Xiaoer and Tang Xiaoqi in.

A decent military attache robe, lined with the heroic appearance of the two of them, made the dog look sideways for a while.

"Dog, when we heard that you were back, we ran over on horseback!"
