Chapter 50: Hurry up and eat some banlan root
The county seat of Pheasant County.
In the lobby of the county office, after the county commander Jiangbei Pavilion issued today's order, he watched the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and several small officials all perform their duties to arrange today's tasks, and breathed a sigh of relief to tidy up their clothes and walk into the inner hall.
Since the county guard issued the order to recruit the people's servants, he has just taken office and he has been very busy, although there was a torrential rain just yesterday, but according to the feedback back from the news, this time the task was completed quite smoothly.
The men and servants of the seven townships and nine towns under the jurisdiction began to assemble and rush to the county seat, and yesterday evening, the people of the three nearby townships and towns had already arrived at the county seat and were arranged to be stationed outside the city, and the remaining towns and towns were also rushing over.
Because the county guard agreed to his suggestion, not to mention that the number of people recruited this time was less than sixty percent, and the service method of rotating once a quarter could be adopted, plus the improved copper saw, it can be said that the difficulty of this task was reduced by seven or eighty percent, which could not only ensure that the summer grain harvest would not be affected, but also would not delay the construction of the gallop road, so he was also highly appreciated by the county guard.
Now that everything is arranged, just wait for all the civil servants to arrive today and tomorrow, and then they can set off for the area arranged by the county town to wait for the dispatch, and this matter can be considered to be over.
Jiangbei Pavilion is especially grateful to the craftsman Gushan who improved the copper saw.
And the people of all Nanyang County should be grateful to him.
It was the appearance of the copper saw that made it so easy.
Otherwise, just recruiting 6,000 people will definitely be a mess, and there will definitely be people who desert during the period, and there will definitely be people who make trouble, and there may even be people who kill the soldiers of the county government to resist.
These things are everywhere, and there has never been such a smooth sailing as this time, and every year there are officials who lose their heads because of the conscription of civil servants everywhere, and especially in Chudi.
Passing through the inner hall is where he lives now, a wooden house with three entrances and exits, and a courtyard of hundreds of square meters, and a street outside.
Although Pheasant County is located in the Central Plains, but the location is between Nanyang and Luoyang, and it is also at the foot of Funiu Mountain, so it is actually a sparsely populated remote mountainous county, the population is small not to mention very poor, and Nanyang County and the capital Xianyang are naturally not comparable, and the food and accommodation conditions are more difficult.
This wooden house is where Jiang Beiting and his daughter and several domestic servants live.
"The master is done!" An old and serious middle-aged man greeted him.
"Qingshan, what's going on with Satsuki these days? I seem to have heard her throw a tantrum in her room yesterday, and she ignored me when she knocked on the door, what happened to the last time you went out? ”
Jiang Beiting said as he walked into the guest hall of the wooden house and sat down on a low couch covered with pampas grass cushions.
The middle-aged man's face became very strange, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "Qingshan saw that you have been very busy with official business these days, so I didn't say it, since the master asked, my subordinates didn't dare to hide it......"
The middle-aged man told the story of accompanying the girl to Xiaohe Village to meet Chen Xu as it was, and even the girl was spanked by Chen Xu clearly.
"Did he really say that?" Jiang Beiting's face changed very strangely after hearing this.
"Yes, that young man has a keen mind, his mouth is like a river, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his temperament is free and easy, according to his subordinates, he definitely does not look like an ordinary mountain villager."
"Hehe, what a strange young man, it seems that this old Chu land is indeed the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, I didn't expect that my remote and bitter cold pheasant county will also have such a handsome talent, and after I am busy in the past few days, you go to Qinghe Town again, invite him to me to test him, if you are really smart and beautiful, you can enter my Jiang family's door wall, arrange to exercise, and become my Jiang family's pillar talent in the future!" Now go and get Satsuki back, keep an eye on her lately, don't make trouble for me! Jiang Beiting stroked the three strands of black hair on his chin and smiled on his face.
"Yes, sir!" The middle-aged man also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go out.
That day, he accompanied the girl to find Chen Xu to compete, Chen Xu made the girl angry in a few words, he was indeed very frightened when the girl shot, for fear that the girl couldn't help but click Chen Xu's sword for a while, but the next development made him a little dumbfounded, Chen Xu couldn't help but not have the slightest fear, and the scared girl lost the sword in a few words, and was beaten twice in the end.
During the Qin Dynasty, the relationship between men and women was still relatively open, far less than the great degree of defense between men and women after the rise of Confucianism in later generations, and the status of women in society is also a dominant position.
And listening to Jiang Beiting's meaning, it seems that he also has a great interest in this young man, and has the idea of joining the Jiang family, so it seems that he will not have any thoughts about Chen Xu touching her daughter's ass.
And Jiang Beiting knew at this time that his daughter was sullen and angry because she came back after being humiliated by Chen Xu, so she didn't take this matter to heart.
His daughter knew that she had developed an arrogant and arrogant character in Xianyang, and suddenly met a wild boy in a mountain village, and she was immediately deflated, but this didn't seem to be a bad thing.
At this time, outside the county seat of Pheasant County, there were four or five hundred ragged people gathered together according to different townships, and the sun was so strong that many people took off their clothes directly, or even dried their clothes naked.
On the rammed earth city wall two feet high, a girl in a light blue linen skirt stood on the wooden castle tower, looking at the group of vulgar and unbearable people below, her cheeks were slightly blushing at the same time, a pair of eyes kept roaming the crowd, as if trying to find the face of a guy who made her want to eat her flesh and sleep on her skin, but everyone couldn't find the person she wanted after reading it, so she kicked the wooden railing.
"Hmph, you dare to spank me, the next time I meet you, I won't spare you, my ass will be broken for you, and I sing such vulgar slang songs, Noo Yamamura, I'm phew!"
Chen Xu, who was working in Xiaohe Village under the strong sun, suddenly sneezed loudly, and looked at the cloudless clear blue sky with teary eyes in a daze.
"It's possible that I was going to catch a cold in the rain yesterday, no, hurry up and eat some banlan root!" Chen Xu threw down the saw to find Banlangen, in this era, a cold will kill people, and future generations can't afford to be sick, and now they can't afford to be sick.
"Hey, that little lady in the city, you're looking for your husband, do you look like me!" Among the hundreds of people downstairs in the county seat, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy shouted loudly at the city tower, and his tone was obviously teasing.
