The group talked about walking, and soon entered the county seat from the port. By this time it was completely dark. On the main road in Fuling County, many businesses have lit up the air lanterns. All of a sudden, the whole county was dotted with stars, which was very poetic.

It's a pity that poetry is unreliable in the market.

"Yo! Pan Dazhuang, I received another job. After sending off the guests, come to my store and sit down? Today's bracken in our store is 50% flour! ”

"Whew! Li peel, do you want to have a face? Fifty percent of the flour fern ba, do you still sell two pennies a piece? I don't lose you! Pan Dazhuang, after sending off the guests, bring the brothers to my store, and the plum wine in our store is 5% off today! ”

Looking at the shouts of various merchants along the way, Chen Can seemed to be back on the CD. No, there is no night market for CDs - once the hour is over, no one will be seen on the street.

"The old man will go to the county office to put the luggage, if you are hungry, come out of the county office and walk to the left, the third shop, with the sign of 'Yonghe', where the fried meat and barbecue are very good. The price is not expensive, and a person can eat for about fifty dollars. ”

"Hehe, have you eaten it?"

"Hey! Sir, you're making fun of me. Where am I willing to eat that, I listened to other masters. ”

"Well, Pan Zhuangshi, in addition to going to the county seat in the summer and autumn every year to work as a forcemaker, do you have any other income?"

"There were very few of them before. It is to grow some rice on a large piece of land, and then it is hunting, fishing, and picking wild vegetables. I often can't eat enough and am hungry. Now Guan Taishou has come a lot, in addition to being a husband, you can also go into the mountains to pick wild fruits, tung fruit to find horses to exchange food. Ma is also a good official, buying our hunt at a high price, a fish with a long finger, and a screw the size of a fingernail. The price is much higher than before...... When I went back in November this year, in addition to buying food, I also wanted to buy a piece of cloth for my mother-in-law at home......"

"Then would you like the whole village to move to Fuling County?"

"This one...... The old man in the family said no, the Bizca people can't leave their homeland. Besides, Guan Taishou also said that there is not enough newly opened land now, and there are not enough houses to live in. Hey, sir, the county government is here! ”

Chen Can has gained a lot along the way, and he is in a good mood: he feels that there is something that there is not in CD here. This kind of thing may be called vitality, or maybe, hope!

Therefore, he was in a good mood and gave the other party 300 yuan at a time, which made Pan Dazhuang and others thank him again and again, and Pan Dazhuang even invited Chen Can and others to be guests in their Panlong Village.

"The lord is really a good man, can the lord give me a name? In the future, when I come to our Panlong Village as a guest, I will come up and down Panlong Village to greet the master. ”

"Hehehe, that's easy to say. This official is the newly appointed Fuling County Magistrate Chen Can, Panlong Village, and this official will definitely go to see it if he has the opportunity in the future. Chen Can enjoyed seeing very much that when he reported his name, Pan Dazhuang and his party of five all widened their eyes, grew their mouths, and were completely stupid.

"Hehehe, why is County Magistrate Chen bothering with this group of awesomes." The voice of a middle-aged man broke the brief silence.

Seeing Chen Can turn his head, the middle-aged man arched his hand: "Below is the current Fuling County Magistrate Li Shufeng, who is waiting for the handover with County Magistrate Chen, and County Magistrate Chen, you are polite." ”

"Oh, I don't dare to be the county magistrate Li to greet you. In Xia Chen Can, Chen Boyu, I met County Magistrate Li. ”

After the two entered the county office, Li Xiang said: "Boyu has worked hard all the way, and he will rest first." I have all the civil books and account books of Fuling County. How about handing over early tomorrow morning? ”

"It's okay, Uncle Feng. Little brother, this will be very energetic. If it is Uncle Feng's brother, it will be fine, can you accompany the younger brother to talk at night? ”

"Hehehe, good. So please ask Boyu to change clothes in the backyard. After Li Xian finished speaking, he turned his head: "Come on, go and bring one jar of wine from the third car of the official, no, two altars." ”

Chen Can came to the hall to sit down after a little freshening up in Li Xian's backyard, Li Xian had already opened the wine jar, smelling the fragrant liquor, and Chen Can's spirit was lifted.

"My brother has only drunk mulberry wine in CD, is this wine a new variety?"

柰 is the ancient name of the local apple in China. It belongs to the list of green apples. Compared with Western red apples, the fragrance of the cuspid is stronger, but the sweetness is much less. However, with the glycerin tannins, the flavor of the cider is fresh and sweet.

"Yes, yes. According to Guan Taishou, the local area is a high mountain area of the river valley, with no scorching heat in summer and no bitter cold in winter, which is most suitable for the growth of persimmon fruit. It's also a shame to say that Brother Yu has been serving in Fuling County for five years, and every year in the past few years, he has seen all kinds of wild fruits rotting in the ground all over the mountains. I never knew it could make such a beautiful wine. ”

"Hehehe, brother don't be ashamed. To tell the truth, after the launch of this fruit wine on CD, many local merchants thought they had found new business opportunities, and also sent a large number of people to the wild to pick wild fruits and come back to make wine. Who knows that no matter what kind of fruit wine it makes, it is all extremely bitter and completely unpalatable. Some people bought a large number of pigs from Fuling County, thinking that this fruit wine was related to something on the pigs, and made many attempts, but none of them could restore the taste of Fuling County fruit wine. Therefore, it is not harmful for my brother to not know how to use this wild fruit in his early years. ”

"Hehehe, Brother Xian's words make sense. Hey, Guan Taishou is really a genius. Seriously, Brother Virtuous, a few years ago, Brother Yu was looking forward to the imperial court to transfer me away quickly. But now the foolish brother really doesn't want to leave. ”

"It's the younger brother's fault that he embarrassed the elder brother. Punish yourself with a drink. ”

"Joke, joke. But Brother Xian, after this Guan Taishou came, my Fuling County is really a new change every day. When the virtuous brother comes to Fuling County to be the county magistrate, then he really comes to enjoy the blessings. ”

"Oh, what do you say, brother?"

"Brother Xian, the head of this county, in fact, there are only a few things: one is to collect money and grain and pay taxes. Second, it is said that adjudication disputes are handled impartially. Third, it is said to prevent theft and capture of animals, protect the territory and the people. Fourth, open up new fields to develop people's livelihood. ”

"Let's talk about the first item first, in the past, the people of Fuling County were barren, and it was difficult to collect taxes. In the nineteenth year of Yanxi, Pang Taishou spent a lot of effort and personally visited more than 30 villages and communities in five counties, so that the money and grain handed over to the treasury by Fuling County reached ninety percent of the imperial court quota. This is already the highest since the establishment of Fuling County. But after Guan Taishou came, Yanxi's 20 years of taxes were not only paid in full, but also paid 20% more. And the virtuous brother has also seen it along the way, Fuling County continues to develop like this, unless the annual quota of the imperial court rises by fifty percent, it will not be a problem to pay taxes at all. ”

"Let's talk about this second item, it used to be a headache for the foolish brother. It's all about dealing with trivial things all day long. For example, in order to fight for the ownership of a cloth bag, two people argued back and forth in the court of the foolish brother for five days! There was no way, everyone was poor at that time, and every little thing was very precious. But now? The big drum in front of the foolish brother's yamen hasn't sounded for a long time. Now as long as you are willing to make efforts, you can earn money to buy food, as long as you have a little self-improvement, who is willing to spend so much time on a little thing to go to court. ”

As for the latter two, the virtuous brother should have heard of it on the CD. The animal plague that ravaged Fuling County has been suppressed, and the Wuxi barbarians in this county are deterred by the Taishou on the one hand, and on the other hand, as long as they are willing to spend their efforts to pick wild fruits, oil tung fruits, fishing, and shellfishing, they can exchange for food. So basically, there will be no stockades to loot Han people without opening their eyes. The threat of wild beasts and barbarians is gone, and we can march towards the back mountains on both sides of the valley and open up new fields. ”

"So, in the past half a year, the foolish brother's life has been very comfortable-just do his daily official business, and there is no more common troubles in the past, and he is close to the water all day to enjoy the new things drummed up by the Fuxing Society, this day, comfortable."

"Thank you, brother. But the younger brother also wants to congratulate his brother on his ascension. In any case, my brother's farmland and household registration in Fuling County have increased dramatically. Therefore, it is natural for the imperial court to promote his brother to be the Taishou of Danqu County. ”

"Hey, virtuous brother, foolish brother, this is because of people, and it is all stained with the light of Guan Taishou. If you go to Danqu County, you don't know how to deal with the Bandun Man there. ”
