Wen Chou and Yan Liang led their horses and walked in the flow of people coming and going, and many villagers stepped forward to see that it was the new Wen Chou, so they stepped forward to say hello.

Wen Chou responded one by one, thinking: "I Wen Chou still has some prestige among the villagers, and everything I have done these days is worth it!" ”

After a while, the three of them left the township, and the noise was left behind, and they got back on their horses and rushed to the village temple.

"Zi Yong, don't care about this, Zi Chang has long been selfish, but it doesn't hurt, as long as he doesn't live up to us, let him go......" Wen Chou saw that Wen Ba still looked angry, and persuaded.

"Although I don't know what grievances your Wen family has, I see that Wen Ji is also extremely unpleasant! Typical little people! Yan Liang took it and said disdainfully.

"Well, I see, big brother!" Wen Ba carried an airway. After speaking, he muttered: "It's not that he finds fault everywhere, otherwise, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to him!" ”

"Hehe......" Wen Chou chuckled, stopped talking, and rode away.

……

"Wen Jun is here!" Ah Er's clever small steps came and shouted happily.

"Ah Er, go to my place in the backyard in a while, clean the two rooms and come out!" Wen Chou handed the reins to Ah Erdao, who ran over.

"Gotcha!" Ah Er answered.

Yan Liang and Wenba also handed out the reins to the townsfolk who ushered in. He walked to the backyard with Wen Chou.

"Gongji and Ziyong, in the future, the two of you will be township officials, although they are not official officials, but you must also pay attention to your words and deeds." Wen Chou said as he walked forward.

"Townsman? What position? Wen Ba said angrily when he was on the road.

"Isn't there a team of townsmen in the township, I plan to let you be a team leader, first, to train the villagers, and second, to let you get some pen and ink, do some cases, you must be reluctant!" Wen Chou stopped and spoke.

"Being a team leader is better than having no ......," Yan Liang said wryly. There is a precedent for his father's military marquis, and Yan Liangzi does not take this team rate of fifty people in charge of it in his eyes.

"What is better than nothing, there are so many people in the township, if the county government approves that document, you can show your martial arts talents!" Wen Scandal Yan looked at the north for a long time.

"Oh, big brother, what documents?" Yan Liang's interest suddenly rose.

"Hehe, are you interested?" Wen Chou made fun of Yan Liangdao.

"Big brother, say it quickly." Wen Ba also came forward and said urgently.

"It's nothing, just form an army!" Wen Chou pretended to be calm and said indifferently. But the glint in his eyes reflected his unrest at this time.

"What? Assemble an army! Yan Liang's eyes were round and he said in surprise.

"No, it's a sin to kill your head if you have nothing to do to gather a crowd into an army!" Wen Ba said.

"That's nothing to gather into an army, isn't this waiting for the county's approval, and now that the thieves are in the crowd, where is there still nothing to do?" Wen Chou patted Wen Ba's head and said in a deep voice.

"Oh, in the name of what?" Yan Liang is stronger than Wen Ba in the end.

"Tao Linsai, the Imperial Affair!" Wen Chou's eyes showed resoluteness.

"Tao Lin Sai, the Imperial Affair! ......" Yan Liang groaned and pondered. Wen Ba scratched his ears and cheeks.

Wen Chou was also contemplative when he faced the north, and thought: "I don't know what Xiangguo Feng Gong means......

As early as when Wen Chou returned from searching for the third elder Jiang Cheng, he wrote two letters, listing his above ideas one by one, and sent people to the county and the county respectively. It's just that whether it will succeed or not, it remains to be said.

"Wenjun, Wenjun?" When Ah Er returned from the horse and walked to the backyard, he saw Wen Chou and the three of them still standing at the threshold leading from the front yard to the back yard, and couldn't help shouting.

"Ah, hehe, but I'm too focused on things! Gongji, Ziyong, let's go! Wen Chou suddenly laughed.

"Hehe......" Yan Liang smiled rather awkwardly.

"Gongji and Ziyong, in the future, the two of you will live in this courtyard, next to me." Wen Chou entered the backyard and pointed to the two houses on the right side of his main hall.

"Where the eldest brother says it is, it's where it is!" Wen Ba was also simply, and Yan Liang also agreed.

A few village guards and servants cleaned up and tidied up!

……

When Wen Chou first came to office, he successively distributed rewards, petitioned the people, worshiped the three elders, and so on, and there were many things. Now that he came to the official temple again, he was busy for several days, and finally read the case left by Du Yi, although Wen Chou was a native of Shahe Township, but the records in the case are all secrets in the township, and he is an ordinary person who does not know the details, so he has a general understanding of the specific situation in the township.

The name of this township is Shahe Township, there are 70 or 80 li in total, the original households are nearly 1,000, and there are more than 5,000 people, because of the successive epidemics in recent years, there are many dead, and there are many people who abandon their homes and fields to become displaced people, resulting in a sharp decrease in household registration, so that there are only more than 800 households left, and 3,000 people. Later, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because of the merits of the Wen family, they were able to survive, and many homeless people came to settle down, and then the households were restored to more than 1,000 people, and there were more than 5,000 people. Most of them are poor families, and there are not many middle families with 100,000 yuan, and even fewer people with more than 100,000 yuan.

Recently, due to the Black Mountain thief incident, a total of more than 2,000 displaced households have been collected, with more than 13,000 mouths, which is nearly three times the number of people in the original Shahe Township! Among them, about 5,000 people who came to defect before were arranged in various miles in Shahe Township, and more than 8,000 people were arranged in the original Taolin Township. There are now nearly 4,000 households in Shahe Township, and nearly 20,000 mouths! Compared to the people of a county on the border, it is not much more than that! It's just that the status quo of Shahe Township, which is not rich in the first place, is further lowered!

Judging from the tax collection in recent years, most of the "li" are not difficult to collect, according to the words of Xiangzuo Wang Chong, there are only two or three places that are the most laborious, one of which is the Lin clan in the township, one of the several major surnames in the township, and the Lin family is known for its "violent gang". Now that it's gone, Wen Chou doesn't have to worry about it. Then there are the Liu family and the Du family, all those who are somewhat powerful are not very cooperative. He, Wen Yu, is in the hands of Wen Yu, but he has never been embarrassed by the townspeople who went there.

Wen Chou sat cross-legged on the temple hall, finished reading the last scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and put it on the ground. After reading the case for several days, he was dizzy to see, and now that he had finally finished reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his temples, and looked out of the hall, it was the afternoon.

The weather was nice and sunny on these two days. He stood up and decided to go out to get some air.

Liu Zhong and Wen Ba, who were standing at the door, brought him shoes and served him to put them on. Wen Ba gloated: "Big brother, I can't rest after watching the case for so many days. Got a headache, right? Hey. - Liu Zhong had returned to the temple two days earlier.

Wen Chou stood on the threshold, stretched, the sun was shining on his body, and he felt warm. He smiled: "I thought that Ding Wei was already very tired from reading and studying scriptures, but I didn't expect that this time I was even more tired than Ding Wei!" It seems that I'm really not the material to bury the first case. Now it's an official,......。 He patted the ribbon around his waist again, "I also brought the ribbon and the half-through seal, which is considered a young official." But I think it's really better to be happy when you are not an official! ”

Liu Zhong said: "This can only be said to be Wenjun, you are too diligent in government affairs, you have been in the township for four or five days, needless to say a few days ago, just say that in the two days I was here, you have not even been out of the door of the official temple, and you have been reading bamboo slips all day long." The villagers are really lucky to have Xun Jun as the government. ”

Wen Chou said with a smile: "Brother Liu, are you here to harm me?" ......, alas, by the way, when I looked at the bamboo slips in the past two days, I found that some of the ropes on the brochure were broken by insects because they had been put for too long. It's a nice day today, so you can help me take them all out and spread them out in the yard to dry. I'm going to call a Sashi over again and re-compile it. ”

Liu Zhong and Wenba promised.

The three of them first cleaned the yard, and then moved all the bamboo slips out of the house, and were carefully arranging them on the ground. ”

Wen Chou saw that it was a Zuoshi, and he didn't care, so he lowered his head again, squatted on the ground to sort out the bamboo slips, and said, "You came just in time." How do you keep this booklet? Even the rope is broken. Come and do a hand, dry it first, and then you can find someone to make it all up. Speaking of this, when he didn't see the official reply, Fang felt that something was wrong, and raised his head again, only to see that this Zuoshi was sweating profusely and panting, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What's wrong with you?"
