Wen Chou saw that this ride was none other than Ah Er, who reported to Yan Liang and them. Although Ah Er is young, the people of the Northland are brave, and Ah Er himself loves horses very much, so his equestrian skills are still good.

"Oh, the magistrate wants to see me, but what did you say?" Wen Chou replied with laughter.

"Wenjun, I don't know this, Duke Du has already rushed to Luancheng County to take up his post!" Ah Er wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When everyone saw this, they did not stop, and went all the way to the official temple.

"Well, I heard Xiangzuo Wangjun say that you were taken in by Duke Du, why didn't you go with Duke Du?" Wen Chou said casually.

"Du Gong Gaode, I am grateful to Dade for taking me in, how can I follow him and pull his hind legs?" Ah Er sighed.

"Hehe, I think you are very good at horsemanship, who did you learn it from?" Wen Chou continued.

"The villain is in the official temple, quite popular with everyone, and the adults have a lot of help for me, this equestrian is taught by Qin Jun!" Ah Er said proudly.

"Quite loved, a lot of help, it's all your nature hard work." Wen Chou appreciated.

"Thank you Wenjun for your appreciation!" Ah, grinned.

"Oh, what did the magistrate do in the morning?" Wen Chou thought of it suddenly, and asked casually.

"I didn't do anything, I just called the people in the township, saying that I wanted to count who had won how many rewards." Ah Er scratched his head with his hand and said.

"Well, count who gets how many rewards? Is this because you are afraid that the township will swallow this amount of money? Wen Chou thought to himself.

Everyone chatted all the way, and after about two quarters of an hour, they finally returned to the official temple.

"Wenjun, you're back!" The county officials were pacing in the hall of the official temple, and the village officials in the hall were afraid.

"Shangjun, it's a kid's sin to wait for a long time." Wen Chou entered the lobby and said loudly.

"After Du Gong left, everyone here didn't dare to make decisions on their own, everything had to wait for you to come back, and it was up to you to decide, but I was miserable!" The county official complained with a bitter face.

"Oh, there's something like that." Wen Chou looked around at the village officials in the lobby and laughed loudly. I thought: "These villagers, I'm afraid they can't figure out my temperament, and what are they going to do when they come to office, I'm afraid that if they are not careful, they will touch my moldy head!" The slaughter of a township is no joke! ”

"Isn't it, the distribution of rewards was originally very cooperative, but it was difficult to stamp the township seal this last time!" The county official smiled bitterly.

"Why does the Lord count this thing? But what did Sangkook ask for? Wen Chou asked.

"Statistics on this matter, but it is also for the reward of the villagers!" The county magistrate said triumphantly.

"What kind of reward?" Wen Chou frowned puzzled. I thought to myself, "Aren't all the rewards coming down?" ”

"Wenjun, have you forgotten: 'The law of the Han family, capture one thief alive, or kill two thieves, and worship the first class'? How many thieves you killed a few days ago, how many thieves you captured alive, who the thief was who killed the thief, who was the thief who captured the thief, you need to make a list, but now the details have not been filled in, and I will take it back to the county for meritorious deeds. "This county official is a county official, if it is simply to convey the praise of Xiangguo, he does not need to come, only Du Yi can be alone, and he is sent here for this purpose.

"Title, it turned out to be for this!" Wen Scandal also touched his forehead with his hand, and said embarrassedly.

Seeing this, the county official smiled and asked Wen Chou, and said, "Wen Jun has not yet reached the year of crowning, right?" ”

"Yes."

"In the past 30 years, only when Jinzi ascended the throne, in the first year of Jianning, he gave the world a lord. I wonder if Wen Jun has ever been lucky enough to get a knighthood? The magistrate asked again.

The first year of Jianning was nineteen years ago, when Wen Chou had not yet died, and he had no title. Wen Chou replied: "Failed to honor the Holy Grace!" ”

"Oh, so you haven't received any knighthood?" When the county magistrate heard this, he was surprised.

"Exactly, his subordinates are from the last years of Jianning, so he has never worshiped a knighthood!" Wen Chou said respectfully.

The last year of Jianning is the fifth year of Jianning, and Wen Chou is now only a sixteen-year-old as the ruler of a township, which cannot be called "young talent!" In fact, don't be surprised, in the original history, the famous founder of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Sun Jian, known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", was in his seventeenth year, he planned to kill the pirates, the county government heard about it, and recruited him to act as the captain, but also in the first year of Xiping to break Xuchang, Xu Shao, prestige spread far and wide, so Sun Jian was then appointed as the county of Yandu, more heroic than Wen Chou.

"It doesn't matter, the thief was killed a few days ago, and the king's merit was the greatest, and only the final killing of Li Damu was enough to make the fourth or fifth level of the king, and he was promoted to a doctor!" The magistrate laughed.

Although since the founding of the Han Dynasty, because of the many rewards of the world's people,—— not to mention the former Han Dynasty, only from the first time of the dynasty to give the knight three years ago, a total of 160 years has been given a total of 34 times, an average of less than five years to give the knight, and sometimes this is not just a knight, often a knight is given two or three levels at a time, the title is not as precious as in the former Qin, but for the ordinary people of Qianshou, it is still very beneficial to have a higher title. For example, it can be used to reduce criminal law, reduce forced labor, improve status, and give priority to the state-given farmland.

However, Wen Chou is a person who wants to attack the world, and he will not even pay attention to millions of money, and naturally he will not take this title in his eyes. The premise is to be able to gain the recognition and loyalty of the villagers!

"A few days ago, I was able to resist the Montenegrin army and thieves, thanks to the efforts of the township leaders. I have already received the recommendation of Du Gong, and Xiangguo's promotion, how can I be embarrassed to receive the title again? Wen Chou clenched his fists to the left side of his face to show respect for Xiang Guo and others.

"Oh? ……。 The magistrate stroked his beard, leaned over and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"The subordinates decided to give up the title to those who needed it." Wen Chou said firmly.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, many people can resist thieves and catch thieves, and they can give their due rewards to others. Although Wen Chou's decision was unexpected, it was also in accordance with the law.

The county official couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "The virtue of Wenjun, I have never seen it!" ”

"Hehe, I don't dare to be a gentleman." Wen Chou said busily.

"Well, that's it, just write another form, so that you can fulfill your wishes!" The county magistrate stroked his beard and smiled.

Tie Qian, Liu Zhong and others sighed and admired the virtue of Wen Chou! The village officials in the hall also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Wen Chou is still acting in accordance with the policy of convincing people with virtue when he first takes office!

Everyone discussed again, arguing about an hour before the form was formulated, why arguing, it turned out that Yan Liang and other people with a bold temperament did not want to receive which titles were rewarded, so that there was a strange scene in the lobby that let the merit not be accepted.

"Shangjun, there is still something for your subordinates, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Wen Chou sent the county official to the village border, and then thought of something and asked.

"Tell me what's going on." The county magistrate Xiao looked at Wen Chou with interest.

"The predecessor of the wandering Qin Jun has been recruited by the county monarch as a county official, has the county ever settled in this wandering shortage?" Wen Chou asked.

"This ...... Your county lord has only reported to the county for a few days, and it has not yet been decided. The county official stroked his beard and groaned.

"So, I want to recommend the former Pavilion Chief Liuting, Liu Zhong to take up this position, I don't know?" Wen Chou looked at Liu Zhongdao beside him.

"Wenjun, you ......," Liu Zhong said excitedly.

Seeing Liu Zhong's excitement, Wen Chou raised his hand and said, "This is what Brother Liu deserves, there is no need to say more." ”

"Oh, you're talking about this, with Liu Jun's merits, as you said, it's really not an exaggeration to be a wanderer! I will report this matter to Xiangguo, and I dare not guarantee whether it will be successful or not. The county said loudly.

"Thank you so much!" Wen Chou stepped forward and stuffed the two gold cakes into the sleeves of the county officials without a trace, and said: "There will be heavy thanks in the future!" ”

"I will do my best in this matter, and you will come back later!" The magistrate nodded and laughed.

Wen Chou stood with his hands behind his back, watching the county officials gradually walk away, just as the sun was setting, and the sky was full of red glow, which was spectacular!
