Chapter 51: A Harvest of April

The vigorous wheat busy season has finally arrived, and the villagers who have gone through hardships can't help but smile in the face of the ears of wheat full of grains. Harvesting, peeling, drying, sowing, etc., are being carried out in an orderly and in full swing.

April is destined to be a busy month, but also destined to be a good harvest month!

At the end of the month, the reward promised by the county officials was long overdue, but it finally came.

"Shangjun came from afar, and his subordinates couldn't welcome him from afar, please forgive me!" Wen Chou got the message, and hurriedly went out of the gate of the official temple and said.

"Hehe, Wenjun doesn't have to be polite, more than half of the new population in your township must be busy." The magistrate said with a smile.

"The Minister of State knows that you are in trouble for the people's rations, so he specially transferred thousands of stones of fine grain to subsidize, so he came more than ten years late!" The county magistrate pointed to the dozens of large driveways behind him.

As soon as Wen Chou came out of the courtyard gate, he saw that the county official was full of cars behind him, and there were more than three or four hundred escorts alone, and Wen Chou did not dare to slack off, and then bowed down and said: "Thank you for the mercy of the Prime Minister of the country, and thank you for your hard work!" Hurry up, go into the courtyard and talk. ”

He turned to Yan Liang and said, "Gongji, you led people to unload the fine grain." Tell the old man to start a fire and cook rice! ”

"No!" Yan Liang said excitedly.

"Your Excellency, please." Wen Chou Gong let the county officials say.

"Hehe, then you're welcome." The county magistrate stepped forward and laughed. The county officials were followed into the hospital by four strong men carrying a pitch-black wooden box.

"Your Majesty, that's how it should be. I don't know ...... this," Wen Chou asked, pointing to the black box.

"Well, it's all treasures, haha." The magistrate laughed.

"Oh, could it be the ...... of the counties," Wen Chou guessed, and couldn't help asking.

"Exactly, it's just that it may not be as much as you think, Wenjun." The county clerk said as he walked.

Wen Scandal thought to himself: "Originally, it was completely distributed according to the purchase reward, and it should not be less than five million dollars!" It's just that it's not as much as you think, what does it mean? Of course, these are just what Wen Chou is thinking. Still complimented the county official: "There is Lao Shangjun running around for this matter." ”

When they came to the lobby, everyone sat down accordingly.

"Today, I am coming to Shahe again, and I am carrying a few appointments, hehe." The county official picked up the wooden bowl, took a sip of pulp, glanced at everyone and said, "I don't know who Liu Zhong is?" ”

"Shangjun, it is his subordinates." Liu Zhong hurriedly replied from the lower position.

"Oh, according to Wenjun, because of his noble conduct, Er was promoted by the villagers as the head of the Liu Pavilion for three years, and during his tenure, the people praised him more?" The county official looked at Liu Zhong with interest and smiled.

"Shangjun said that he laughed, if he is a rough person, he can also help a group of lonely widows in the pavilion, prepare for a living, and dare not speak up." Liu Zhong replied.

"Since you can prepare for it, you must be extraordinary in your martial arts?" The county magistrate said.

"Don't dare to boast, if you compare with Wenjun, it is far away, if it is an ordinary Qianshou, it is far better." Liu Zhong looked at Wen Chou and smiled.

"Shangjun, Liu Jun, is valued by the heroes in the township, and his martial arts are extraordinary." Wen Chou smiled and said.

"Hehe, I'm asking more." The magistrate laughed. Then he took out a document from his sleeve and said, "Liu Zhong in the Liu family, do you dare to let Shahe Township wander?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhong had already thought that it was his appointment, but when this happened to come true, he couldn't help but be a little shocked. Dong Jiang was at his side, tugging at his cuffs, and he came to his senses. Hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "I will not dishonor the life of the prime minister!" Cultivated by the king. ”

"Haha, swimming...... Now that you are wandering, do you know what its responsibilities are? The county clerk handed the appointment document to Liu Zhong and asked with a smile.

"Wandering, forbidden thieves and thieves! Calm the people, punish the thieves in the township pavilions. Liu Zhong thought for a while and said.

"Yes, yes, it's your duty, but it's different for you." The magistrate nodded appreciatively.

"Oh, what's the difference?" Liu Zhong asked hurriedly.

"Alas, in the past, there were many people who traveled to the security of the township, but now the world is not quiet, and the people are scattered, so there are many townships that do not become townships, and pavilions do not become pavilions." The county magistrate sighed. Then he said: "But Minister Feng Gong, Guanru Township gathers people, there is a lot of joy, and you are specially ordered to be in charge of Shahe Township." ”

"Jinzun's life!" Liu Zhong arched his hand. I thought: "I want to be in charge of several townships, and there are not so many townships for me to manage!" ”

"Congratulations to Brother Liu." Wen Chou saw the turn and took the lead in congratulating.

"Liu Jun is elevated, congratulations."

"Brother He Liu is in the position of wandering!"

……

"Hehe, guys, that's just one of them." The county officials smiled at everyone in the hall.

"Oh, I don't know if the second is ......?" Wen Chou said with a smile.

"Hehe, in view of the rampant thieves recently, there are many people who loot the pavilion and attack the county and occupy the township! It has now been agreed upon by the ministers of the county. At this point, the county official stopped talking and laughed at the ugliness. The hall is also quiet.

"What was agreed upon?" Wen Chou said worriedly. I thought: "This must be something about the Taolin Military Department." I just don't know if it will be successful or not. ”

"Hehe, it was agreed to rebuild the military system of Taolin, and order Wen's Wenchou to be the captain of Taolin, recruit strong people among the villagers, and form an army to protect the people!" The county magistrate looked at the anxious and satisfied voices in the hall.

"Becoming an army?" Wen Chou hurriedly stepped forward to take the documents handed over by the county official and said happily.

The county official smiled and looked at Wen Chou, who had always been calm, and was looking at the documents repeatedly with excitement at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Wen Jun, why are you so excited?" ”

"Huh? Please forgive me, my family has been in the army for generations, and now I am also a military position, which can comfort the spirit of my ancestors, and it is a slight gaffe! Wen Chou hurriedly said.

"Hehe, Wenjun is brave and loyal, and if he takes this position, he will be a blessing to the township!" The county magistrate said with a smile.

"Inherit the words of Jun Ji." Wen Chou said.

"Wenjun, Daxi."

"Congratulations to Wenjun."

……

"It's just a matter of military resources, and the county is also lacking, so this matter needs to be solved by yourself. And these two hundred gold cakes are all that the county can come up with. The magistrate pointed to the black wooden box in the hall.

"What about the reward?" Wen Chou asked.

"For the purchase of rewards, I went to seven or eight nearby counties, and only raised 100,000 yuan, and went to the county for 780,000 yuan, so I made up enough 200 gold cakes, so you have to do it yourself." When the county official heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Wen Chou said that he was questioned, but he also thanked him complimentarily. That cat doesn't eat fishy? There are also two hundred gold, about three million gold, which is already a good result.

Wen Chou ordered someone to take a look at the gold cakes in the wooden box, and then carried them to the temple treasury.

Everyone in the hall talked freely again. When Yan Liang and others outside the courtyard unloaded the grain and grass, Lao Zhang's meal was also ready. Due to the large number of people, about 400 people, Wen Ba had already received Wen Chou's order and borrowed pots and pans from the township households.

For a while, the official temple was up and down, and the sound of congratulations and congratulations was not stopped.

The county officials insisted on leaving in the midst of all kinds of retention.

Wen Chou said goodbye to the county officials and returned to the official temple, and when he saw the houses full of grain and grass, he silently calculated in his heart: "The rich households in the township are 1,500 stones, and the county has allocated 1,000 stones, and the county has raised 1,000 stones, so 3,500 stones, and if you buy a little, you may be able to support the corn harvest." ”
