Chapter 882: Thanksgiving
However, what Cui Wenqing and Zhi Zhao didn't know was that when the carriage drove through the long street, they peeked at the people on the side of the street, and the people were also observing the passing carriage with their eyes.
When they saw that the wheels of the carriage were tall, the carriage was wide, the carvings were gorgeous, and the horses pulling the carriage were very good, the people immediately realized that the owner of the carriage was extraordinary, and the heart that had been anxiously waiting couldn't help but get excited.
When they saw the carriage driving slowly, heading towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army, and finally stopped in front of the gate, the people finally couldn't help but stir up.
"Oh, it's Lord Cui and the Grand Duke, they're back!"
"Master Cui, are you in the carriage? We've finally got you back! ”
"Master Cui, I hope you meet Xiao Lao'er, you are really a great benefactor of our family."
……
Suddenly, the originally quiet street suddenly turned into a boiling ocean, and hundreds of people were gossiping and saying a thousand words, expressing their gratitude to Cui Wenqing, which also made Cui Wenqing, who was still in the carriage, stunned.
"What's the situation?" He stopped lifting the curtain and was about to get out of the car, and turned around to ask Xiang Zhao.
Zhi Zhao glanced at him, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that these people are all here to find your husband, how can Ben Shuai know the specific situation?" ”
Cui Wenqing was very surprised, groaned slightly, lifted the curtain and walked out, and then jumped out of the carriage in the eyes of the people, bowed to them, and said solemnly: "This official is Cui Wenqing, I don't know what is important before your fathers and fellow villagers gather at the gate of this official mansion?" ”
The words fell, and the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly returned to silence.
The crowd was divided into two, and a gray-haired old man walked out of the crowd with the support of a young woman.
The old man was in a hurry with a cane in his hand, and when he arrived in front of Cui Wenqing, he trembled and arched his hand, and the old man's face was full of excitement: "Lord Cui, the little old man is the village leader of Chenjia Village outside Fugu County, and when I heard the news that Lord Cui returned to Fugu County, the people of the 28 villages in the surrounding seven townships were all so excited that they wanted to come to Fugu County to thank the Lord for his gifts." ”
"Oh?" Cui Wenqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and replied seriously, "The old man is polite, this official visited the four states of the northern land on behalf of the emperor this time, but he came at the behest of the imperial court, and everyone should thank the imperial court, not the official personally." ”
"No, no, no......" The old man shook his head and waved his hand, his white beard and white hair trembled, "My lord, the reason why we want to thank you in the twenty-eight villages of Qixiang is because the policy of animal husbandry and pig raising implemented by the adult has benefited us ordinary farmers, after nearly half a year of pig breeding, everyone is very profitable, and no longer have to rely on the sky to eat, rely on the land to cultivate, so you are our great benefactor." ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help laughing, pressed his hand and signaled the people to be quiet for the time being, and then said solemnly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please listen to this official, as the saying goes, the cangli knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace, so the past dynasties undoubtedly do not regard the issue of eating as the top priority in governing the country, and it is not allowed to be sloppy and careless at any time. Before leaving, the official family instructed thousands of people, and the ministers of the political hall cared about many plans in every way, so after the arrival of the official, many benevolent policies such as animal husbandry and breeding were implemented, so the implementation of all policies is the meaning of the imperial court, and many achievements are also the credit of the imperial court. ”
As soon as the words fell, the people looked at each other, and the scene was very quiet.
Cui Wenqing said: "Thank you folks for waiting here, and thank you for your love for Cui Wenqing, but now it's late and the night is cold, so please leave early, Cui Wenqing should send all the folks out of the city." ”
The leading old man pondered for a moment, but he still said stubbornly: "Master Cui, no matter what, you are the great benefactor of our people, and this time we came to have something to give to your lord." After saying that, he waved his hand back and motioned, "Come, carry it up." ”
When the words fell, it could be seen that several sturdy crop men and Li walked up carrying a huge bamboo cage, Cui Wenqing looked up, and suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
There were several half-sized piglets in the bamboo cage that was carried, all of them huddled in the corner and shivered from the cold, and they didn't even bother to make a humming and chirping sound.
"This ...... This is ......" Cui Wenqing pointed to the bamboo cage with his finger, surprised.
The old man explained with a smile: "Lord Cui, these are the piglets raised in our village, and they are also the efforts of the court and your lordship to the people. ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
These farmers are simple, enthusiastic, and full of gratitude, and they are willing to brave the wind and snow to send piglets for him to eat, and Cui Wenqing is really deeply moved by such a fist.
However, the purpose of letting the people breed piglets is to develop animal husbandry, and now these piglets are only half the age, so they eat like this, which is a pity.
With a slightly bitter smile, Cui Wenqing opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but in this lightning and fire, a wonderful attention suddenly came to his heart, making his eyes suddenly light up, and he immediately changed his mind and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of my father and fellow villagers, this official will send the piglets that everyone has offered to the imperial court, and tell the official family to know." ”
When the people dispersed, Cui Wenqing turned around and went back to the house, but when he saw that the carriage was still parked at the gate of the house, he couldn't help but feel strange, and the driver reminded softly: "Uncle, the governor is still in the car and has not gotten off." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded to show understanding, re-boarded the car and returned to the carriage, and said with a smile to Zhi Zhao, who was sitting in it with his cheeks in contemplation: "Why doesn't the lady get off the car?" ”
Zhezhao glanced at Cui Wenqing in a variety of ways, and said with a smile: "The people said that they came to thank Lord Cui, how could the little woman be embarrassed to get out of the car and touch Lord Cui's light?" ”
Cui Wenqing was angry when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "These people are too enthusiastic, and they actually came in the snow, which really caught me off guard." ”
Zhi Zhao nodded and smiled, then smiled to the fullest, and said solemnly: "Just now, the husband said that he would mention the official family and the court, which is really very decent. ”
Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "This trip to the four states in the north is huge, and after the implementation of many policies, it has won the gratitude of the people, so to speak, the gratitude of the people cannot be borne by me Cui Wenqing personally and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army, otherwise it will be a suspicion of buying people's hearts, so we need to be more cautious, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the court." ”
Zhi Zhao smiled happily: "Husband's words are good, but he can see them very clearly!" ”
