Obviously it was 1,000 taels of silver, but what was taken back this time was only more than 800 taels, Luo Jiatan's brother-in-law Ji Sangou didn't have a face, grabbed Yang Lin's sleeve and said: "Yang Xiucai, obviously there are 1,000 taels of silver, why is there only 800 taels here?" ”

In normal times, I might hide some silver, but at that time, everyone desperately didn't even think about it.

This time he was slandered for being so upright, and the anger in his heart can be imagined, Yang Lin blocked the other party's arm and said angrily: "You, you are spewing blood, when we arrived, the local thugs had already transported a batch to the cottage, and besides, everyone was terrified at the time, who would want such a dirty thing?" ”

The strong men together are also annoyed, the villagers in the big hometown want face, how can others live if they are so slandered?

Everyone swore that they would only snatch back such a little silver, this time everyone slept in order to save Luo Gongzi for a few days, and some almost lost their lives, how could they slander others like this?

Other people can't get used to it, everyone thinks of the villagers and desperately rescues, but in the end they are slandered and greedy for silver, and they don't feel good anyway?

Everyone talked about it, and everyone bluntly said that Luo Jiatan was so suspicious of the benefactor who helped him, it was too unkind.

is different from Ji Sangou, who was born in the class, after all, Luo Jiatan has been in charge of a county household (equivalent to the modern county finance director) What big scene has not been seen, and besides, this other party is a tribute at a young age, how can he be offended if he has raised people or something in the future tense?

No matter how small a person is, he is also an official, how can his power be comparable to that of a small official like himself?

Even if he is only a prisoner now, he can go to the yamen to find a scribe or something, and he will not be worse than himself in the future.

After Luo Jiatan scolded Ji Sangou, he asked the housekeeper next to him to take out two silver taels and two taels of rewards per person, so that everyone's emotions calmed down slightly.

Yang Linxiu was born, and this rescue made great efforts, and the reward was of course different, Luo Jiatan took out an ingot of fifty taels of official silver to express his gratitude.

Seeing that Luo Jiatan took out two silver taels to apologize, and was simply sent away by the money after suffering such a, Yang Lin handed the silver ingot to Yang Chengdao beside him: "Heroes don't drink the water of the stolen spring, and today they have suffered such a belly, so give this silver to the brothers." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Yang Wei opened his eyes wide and asked, "Ruzhen, this, you don't want so much silver?" That's enough to harvest in the soil for two or three years. ”

Although he had no impression of ancient money, he knew the weight of it when he heard the other party say this, but it was difficult to collect it, so he still shook his head again and again, looking very resolute.

Seeing this, Luo Jiatan arched his hand and said: "Brother Yang Gaoyi is grateful for saving the little old man of the dog, and my brother-in-law Ji Sangou doesn't know how to offend Brother Tai, and I hope to see the old man on his thin face and don't worry about him." ”

Seeing that the other party apologized repeatedly, Yang Lin didn't care about himself, and only at this time did he squeeze out a smile and didn't dare to take it seriously.

Luo Jiatan said with a smile: "The old man is now over the age of sixteen and has no years to live, and this time he suffered such a catastrophe, and he is even more lacking in mental strength.

Xiucai Gong's rescue of the dog Zhiyong Shuangquan this time is obvious to everyone, tomorrow we will go together to meet Lord Zhizhou, let you take over the drudgery of the security chief, and Brother Wanwang will not shirk. ”

Pengzhou in the Ming Dynasty was a scattered state, including three counties: Xiangru County, Yingshan County, and Yilong County, of which Xiangru County was Yiguo County, which was governed by Zhizhou and the affairs of the county. (The other county governors are the governors, while the governor of Yiguo San Prefecture is the Zhengliupin Zhizhou, who not only manages the affairs of Yiguo County, but also oversees the affairs of the two surrounding counties.) ）

In ancient times, the local government implemented the co-governance of the gentry, and in addition to the officials who sent the county magistrate to the county government, the clerks of the following rooms and the chief of the grain in the local area were all local squires.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the Yuan system, and the local implementation of the Lijia system, that is, ten households and one Jia, ten Jia and one mile.

In order to transport grain and grass, more than 500 households in the Jiangnan area also selected a grain chief, but there was no grain chief when Sichuan was restored late.

As the saying goes, the rich are not more than three generations, and the poor are not three generations, and in the past two hundred and seventy years of the Ming Dynasty, many of the rich and long-term ones have become broken households, and they have been replaced by the rise of local squires, who often become local emperors and dominate everything.

Yang Wei Yang Cheng vigorously admonished, although this chief has a lot of oil and water, but offends people, and now the imperial court has sent three counties to urge it very urgently, and if it can't collect taxes, it may still be a lawsuit, and if it is levied on the villagers, it will offend the villagers.

Besides, Gongsheng was born, no matter what, he can find a scribe in the county to save something, why bother to wade into troubled waters to be this thankless security chief?

Yang Lin is eager to try, this Luojiabao is the only market within a radius of thirty or forty miles, although there is no serious name, but the management of this Luojiabao village within a radius of thirty or forty miles, in any case, is equivalent to a township chief in the previous life, this is a great beauty.

The next day, Yang Lin stepped on green shoes, wore green clothes and robes, and took Yang Wei and Yang Cheng to the Luo family compound early in the morning to wait for Master Luo to sit on the sliding pole, and it took a full day of mountain roads to arrive at Xiangru County, which was fifty or sixty miles away.

The Ming Dynasty's Sichuan Shunqing Mansion included two scattered prefectures, one was Pengzhou, including Xiangru County attached to Guo, and Yilong County and Yingshan County next to it.

Another scattered state is Guang'an Prefecture (that is, today's Guang'an area), including Guang'an County, Linshui, Dazu, Qu County, etc., which are attached to Guo.

Thousands of miles of Jialing River in Pengzhou around a big bend, the flow of water becomes very smooth, the state city is located in the west of the Jialing River, Luojiabao is in the east of the Jiang, more than 10 people sit on the ferry, the captain one after another supports the ferry to cross the Jialing River and stop on the wharf, through the long wharf into the state city.

Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Zhu Sheng's opinion, accumulated grain and built a high wall to slowly claim the king, and after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was like building a copper wall in various cities, and this state city alone was three or four meters high, and there were strong men guarding and checking the merchants at each city gate.

Luo Jiatan has been the owner of the house for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the strong men who defend the city.

The streets and alleys of the city are distinct, especially a thoroughfare that runs from east to west, which is seven or eight meters wide, and even two or three large vehicles (four-wheeled vehicles) are not crowded on the road.

The alleys are also separated by roads, which vary from each other by four or five meters to facilitate the passage of pedestrians.

There are constant shouts on the streets, some people open shops to buy silk, some buy daily local groceries, and those who have money wear silk and satin during the exchange, and ordinary people also wear clean cotton clothes and linen.

After walking more than 200 meters and passing by the market, it is half the size of a football field, and there are everything you need to buy in it.

Walked more than 300 meters to the Zhizhou Yamen, saw a wall in front of the distance from afar, the ancient Yamen sat north and faced south, this wall is the south wall that does not hit the south wall and does not look back, just like the modern bulletin board or something, the government will post various official documents on it, and those who are interested can read it carefully.

The north side is the yamen, enter from the small door, pass through the long corridor, on both sides are the six-room office space such as the official household rite and soldier punishment workshop, after the two courtyards, come to the lobby, Zhizhou Li Yitian is on the board of directors in the hall.
