Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Wheat Seed Is Ready

Wen Chou naturally ignored the admiration and curiosity of everyone at the city gate. When he came to the city, he followed a county soldier and walked to the official temple.

This is the first time Wen Chou has come to the county seat, perhaps, the original Wen Chou has come, but since he crossed over, he has never come. During this period, there were several opportunities to come to the county town to do business, such as buying knives and food, but because of something else, others were sent to come. This time, Wen Chou had a little free time and decided to come to purchase wheat seeds in person for autumn ploughing.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the city was planned in an orderly manner, which was roughly divided into three parts. One is 'Luli', where the people of Qianshou live, the other is 'market', that is, the market, where things are bought and sold, and the other is 'Guansi'.

Just as there are walls on the outside, there are walls on the periphery of the temple, and they are very tall. If Pingjian County is a 'big city', then it is not an exaggeration to call 'Guansi' a 'small city'. In the former Han Dynasty, the location of the 'official temple' was not fixed, some were in the city, some were in the east of the city, and since the present dynasty, they gradually moved to the north of the city, and then gradually became a kind of customization.

In order to save labor, materials, etc., many 'official temples' will be built in the northwest or northeast corners of the county, so that you can use the existing city walls, and only need to draw out two walls separately to enclose the 'official temples'. The 'Guansi' in Pingjian County is located in the northeast corner of the city.

Wen Chou, Wang Chong and his entourage, passing through the market, passing through Luli, arrived at the northeast of the city, facing a stone que, facing the road. Behind the stone gate is the gate of the 'official temple'. The gate usually faces south, and it means that "the saint faces south and listens to the world, and governs to the Ming", which is the case with the temple gate of Pingjian County. --- there are also 'official temples' that do not stand in front of the stone que, and those who set up two Huan tables are all taken for their solemn and conspicuous purposes.

On the side of the stone que or Huan table, there is a building drum, hanging on the mother. If there is something in the people or in the county, they can beat this drum so that people will know about it. In addition, there are often one or several houses on either side of the temple gate, which are connected to the fence and open outward. It was for the officials from other places to change their clothes. If the Governor does not have time to see them for a while, they can rest in it. At this moment, there was a young official who had just arrived from other places, packing up his clothes, arranging his crown and belt, and preparing to meet Shangguan.

Wen Chou came to find the county gentleman and asked him to buy some wheat seeds, and besides, with his identity as the captain of Taolin, he didn't have to wait in that room. But Wen Chou still knows etiquette better, so he insisted on asking the county guard at the gate of the temple to report to the county gentleman.

Wen Chou didn't wait long, and listened to the hearty laughter of the county gentleman as expected.

"Wen Jun came from afar, it's a great honor to be contemptible!"

"Where is it, but the county gentleman is virtuous, and he has heard of it for a long time, and now he can look up to it and live up to his life!" Wen Chou saw a long-bearded man of about forty years old, dressed in an official robe and wearing a high crown, stepping over, and hurriedly said.

"Wen Jun, who is also a flat thorn parent, why praise each other too much! Come, come, come with me to the lobby and speak. The county gentleman smiled heartily. Originally, Wen Chou should have been his subordinate officer, but Wen Chou was in the position of captain of Taolin, so he didn't dare to snub Wen Chou, and he was already an equal.

Wen Chou was happy like this, and immediately followed him into the official temple. The first thing that comes into the eye when entering the temple gate is a screen, on which the wanton swaying ink color forms a galloping horse picture, which is arrogant. Bypass the screen and come to the court. But see, the courtyard is wide and deep, a lobby in the middle, the eaves fly corners, majestic and magnificent, here is the place where the county Junsheng Hall does things, called 'hall affairs', also called 'listening halls'. There are steps in front of the hall that lead to the courtyard.

Wen Chou walked into the hall with the county gentleman. I saw that it can be much more magnificent than the lobby of the township temple, not only spacious and bright, but also there are several cases listed in it, and there are mirrors hanging high, the plaque is high, quite solemn. There was no one else in the church, and it seemed that it had just opened.

Several people sat down in a few places, and it was no problem.

"It's a busy time for farming, and it's an eventful time to come to your hometown, I don't know why Wenjun came to look for me?" After some compliments first, the county gentleman Zhang Chi got to the point.

"I'm ashamed to say that I am in a position of rank, but I can't relieve the worries of the people. This time I came to look for the county gentleman, and I asked for the county gentleman! Wen Chou said apologetically.

"What can make Wen Jun helpless? I'm afraid it's in vain! Zhang Chi said dumbly.

"No, this matter is not difficult for the county monarch, only for the autumn seeds!" Wen Chou said busily.

"Autumn seeds?" Zhang Chi's face was embarrassed, and he frowned.

"Exactly, the county gentleman also knows that there have been more than 10,000 displaced people in Xin'an recently! There is a shortage of wheat seeds! Wen Chou explained.

"I also know about this, but there are not many wheat seeds reserved in the county, I don't know if it can be used by your township, I dare not guarantee it!" Zhang Chi said apologetically.

"The wheat seeds left in the county treasury are naturally purchased at a high price, and there are many wealthy families in the county, and there must be a surplus, and I hope that the county will help buy one or two." Wen Chou took the lead.

"In this way, Wen Jun is determined to win, so it is difficult for me to refuse. As a county king, he will not let the people under his jurisdiction have no food to plant! Zhang Chi, the county monarch, heard the ugly words of the high-priced purchase, and couldn't help but say proudly. It's not that he is greedy for the money of Wen Ugly, but in fact, after having this money, he can also give an explanation to other officials in the county. After all, there are still a lot of people staring at this piece of meat!

"In this way, it will be troublesome to the county king." Wen Chou saw that the matter was negotiated, and thanked him with a compliment

Then things were much simpler, the county monarch Zhang Chi led a few people to take out the rest of the seeds in the treasury, and visited several rich families, so that they could get enough wheat seeds! And Wen Chou also bleed hard for this, spending a huge amount of 600,000 dollars!

Dozens of wagons rushed from the county seat to Shahe Township.

Different from the dullness when he came, Wen Chou was relatively happy on the return trip, and Wang Chong, who accompanied him, said a lot of his thoughts and opinions, which really made Wang Chong admire. Here's the time, just wait for a bumper harvest! In this way, he can also be ugly for a long period of time, and he doesn't have to worry about the problem of food and grass! It's time to do a good job, and the mood is different.

This back and forth is a day's time, and when I return to the Xiangtingguan Temple, it is already twilight. The hard-working and simple Qianshou also counted the harvest of this day. And the news that Wen Chou had purchased the wheat seeds planted in the autumn also spread in the mood of the villagers full of excitement, joy, and respect.

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. It's just that Wen Chou's appointment this time is You Liu Zhong.

"Zizheng, those captives are still safe now, right?" Wen Chou said loudly. Xiangzuo Wang Chong was in charge of arranging the affairs of the captives, and You Liu Zhong was in charge of the supervision and guarding of the captives. Yes, Wen Chou has this question.

"Yu Wenjun, there were still some captives who resisted in the early stage, but with the recent start of the villagers harvesting corn, it has become much more stable." Liu Zhonggong replied respectfully.

"Well, that's fine, as long as these captives still yearn for a stable life with plenty of food and clothing, it won't be in vain for me to plan for them." Wen Chou was pleased.

"Wenjun is merciful, and the villagers are lucky." Liu Zhong praised.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm also doing it for my future! There is no such thing as 'benevolence' or 'benevolence'. Wen Chou looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and sighed.

"But Wenjun did show them a way out, and also helped the villagers gradually get rid of the days of starvation and clothing." Liu Zhong still affirmed. In his mind, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wen Chou really has his own selfishness.

"Zizheng, you once said that you want to always follow my side, but you are not afraid of any dangers?" Wen Scandal said, looked up at the moon, and only turned around for a while, looked at Liu Zhong, and asked seriously.

When Liu Zhong saw Wen Chou asking him such a question so seriously, he couldn't help but bow down solemnly and said: "Only Wen Jun does not harm the people or harm the people, Zhong voluntarily regards the monarch as the master!" ”

Seeing this, Wen Chou hurriedly helped Liu Zhong up, and said with a smile: "Good, good, good, contemptible people will not harm the people or harm the people!" Although he knew that Liu Zhong had the heart to take him as the main thing, when it really came out of Liu Zhong's mouth, Wen Chou was still extremely excited. Then he said: "Zizheng, it's almost time for autumn planting, I hope those captives can also reclaim the land, so that they have concern and hope, but the task of guarding is aggravated, you have to be careful." ”

"Well, since Wen Jun intends to make these thieves abandon evil and follow good, then Zizheng will definitely do his best to assist." Liu Zhong said

In the middle of the moon, Leng Hua is like water, and the Chinese ugly of the official temple sleeps with Liu Zhong.
