Chapter Ninety-Five: The Three Elders
Seeing the man, Niu Zhong was very surprised! This person is none other than their Likui, Niu Xi.
Han Cheng Qin system, under the county, there are township pavilions and li. 100 households for a mile, 10 miles for a pavilion, 10 pavilions for a township, the township set up Yi, a husband, a tour and other management of public security, the three elders in charge of education. There is a pavilion under the countryside, and there is a pavilion chief, and there is a li under the pavilion, and there is a likui. Niu Zhong's land, dozens of families, are under the jurisdiction of Likui Niu Xi.
"Li Kui, what is the matter with you coming to the old man's house?"
Niu Zhong looked at Niu Xi and the others curiously.
Niu Xi showed a flattering smile, "Niu Weng, this is a county official from the county office!" I'm going to make you a third elder! ”
"Huh?"
Ma Hei cried out in shock.
Not only Ma Hei, but also Niu's are incredible. The third elder, that's the same level as the rank and the saffler! Can assist in the management of the entire cattle township. In addition to the age requirement, the general three elders also need to be famous. And in this troubled world, even Li Kui can't take Niu Zhong's turn to be the leader, let alone the third elder? Most of the three elders are those who rely on the family family and help the family to govern the villagers.
"Niu Zhong?"
The official from the county handed a token to Niu Zhong: "This is the certificate of the three elders, from today on, you will be the old man of Niu Township!" The county magistrate hopes that you can help Zhi Qifu and Youjiao and others to govern this cattle township together! Educate the villagers! ”
"How can you ....... old, how can you old"
Niu Zhong didn't dare to accept it! Even though he is older, he has never been a decent person. Suddenly appointed him as the third elder to govern the entire cattle township, which made him unable to adapt for a while.
"Niu Weng, you can take it! This is the county asking you to be the third elder, can you still refuse? ”
Niu Xi smiled flatteringly: "Now it's different from before." Since Wen Hou took charge of the state, the officials of the entire state did not dare to mess around! Everyone is committed to their duties. Let you be this third elder, it must also be because of your ability. And you also met Wen Hou in person! If it weren't for your lack of fame, you would have let the three elders of the county go!"
Niu Xi's words were not without envy.
Who is Wen Hou? A character like him may never be seen in his lifetime. But Niu Zhong saw it, and talked with Wen Hou for a long time! Wen Hou even beheaded dozens of heads of the Zhang family because of the death of Niu Meng and others.
As Niu Xi said, if it weren't for Niu Zhong's fame, it would not be enough, just a tenant, otherwise the three elders of the county and the three elders of the county would have no problem!
Niu Zhong took the token with tears in his eyes.
If it weren't for Wen Hou, I'm afraid their family would have fallen! Now that he has become one of the three elders, he must do his duty well. Educate the entire cattle township well, so as to live up to the grace of Wenhou.
"The villain honors the adult."
Niu Xi was also very happy to see Niu Zhong become these three elders! Niu Zhong is his person, and now Niu Zhong has become the third elder, which is also of great benefit to him, thinking of this, he took out the usual money and handed it to the official from the county. The county magistrate smiled in his sleeves, and his face was not shocked: "Now Wen Hou is for me and the state pastor, and everything is done according to the law!" All officials must not do anything corrupt and bend the law, and the most important thing is to fulfill their duties, work diligently, and govern the villagers well! ”
After speaking, the county official glanced at Niu Xi again, "You have already heard about the Zhang family and others, right?" Now even those big families, Wen Hou will be extinguished when he says that he will be destroyed! What to do, you guys do it yourself! I also heard that soon Wen Hou will rectify the rule of officials, but all unqualified officials will be dismissed! No matter how big or small the official position is, if there is no action, it will be replaced. ”
"Yes Yes Yes ......."
Niu Xi nodded repeatedly.
The county clerk left satisfied.
Niu Xi looked at Niu Zhong flatteringly: "Niu Weng, now that you have the position of the third elder, don't forget that I treat you well on weekdays!" You also know that it was not easy for me to be the best in the past! ”
"Likui, how are you not thin on weekdays?"
Ma Hei scoffed.
Here Kui Niu is happy, let's talk about ability, it's just a little bit, that is, he can speak, so he has always sat in this position of Kui Kui safely. Now that Niu Zhong has become the third elder, he knows that he has come to curry favor! But in the past, when Niu Meng's family didn't even have rations, when he went to Niu Xi to borrow grain, Niu Xi refused.
Ma Hei's words made Niu Xi smile quite embarrassed, continued to look at Niu Zhong, and explained: "Niu Weng also knows that it wasn't that I didn't borrow food at the beginning, it was really my family's ......."
"That's it!"
Niu Zhong interrupted Niu Xi's words, and his eyes that had gone through vicissitudes of life were also a little stern: "Wenhou is benevolent and righteous, and the county commander is honest and honest, let the old man take the position of these three elders." There is no way to repay the decay, for the sake of being willing to educate this country well. Li Kui is the head of a hundred households in this mile, and the old man hopes that Li Kui can work with the old man to govern the place well, and he is worthy of the county magistrate of Wenhou and the villagers! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Likui Niu smiled and said goodbye to Niu Zhong.
"This cow is happy!"
Ma Hei snorted dissatisfiedly.
Niu Zhong looked at Ma Hei's appearance, shook his head and said, "Although Niu Xi's Li Kui is useless, he is also not faulty!" In the past, the family was rampant, and he was forced to be strict with the villagers. Now that Wen Hou governs this annexed state, it is expected that there will never be any more grievances. If Niu Xi can be a good likui, it will also be a blessing for our dozens of households. ”
"Does he dare to be this Likui!"
Ma Hei smiled, "Now Uncle Niu is the third elder in this township, if Niu Xi doesn't do it well, Uncle Niu can sue him directly." ”
The three elders, although they are only in charge of education, are at the same level as the township ranks, the husband and others. It's the boss of Rique's boss! It can be said that there are two levels of officials and lieutenants. In the entire Niu Township, if the three elders feel that there is any incompetence, such as the likui, the pavilion chief, or the township rank and the magistrate, they can directly report to the county magistrate or the county order.
"By the way, Uncle Niu, there is one more thing ......"
Ma Hei scratched his head: "I heard that the current township has been founded!" Look at it, these two little guys are just going to study in the countryside...... If you know a little more words, you won't be ....... in the future."
Ma Hei said, as if he remembered something, and his eyes turned red.
Niu Zhong touched the heads of the two boys, his eyes full of love. The fathers of these two children were both tenants who were beaten to death when they went to Zhang's house with Niu Meng to ask for food that day. Like the stones of his family, he lost his father!
Fortunately, this incident was paid attention to by Wen Hou, so these two families also got a lot of "funeral expenses." "That's why now I have money for my two children to go to the countryside to study.
