What is the place of the house, it is the land of the living dead.

It is the living who live, but what is the difference between it and death. The only option for those in there is to wait for death.

Two of the four men fainted, one stood there stunned and lost his mind, and one could not cry. This result did not exceed Bai Minghe's expectations, but the difference was that the people of the Ming Dynasty were more affectionate than the modern ones.

If they die, I'm afraid that these four people will be sad for a while.

But it is clear that the family is still alive, but life is worse than death, and they are tortured every day.

The white crane looked motionless, and in the eyes of outsiders, the white crane now seemed to be a person with a heart like a stone. There was no emotion, no trace of sadness.

Under the mutual treatment of the four lifters, the two who fainted also slowly woke up.

It's just a very clever way to attack the heart and pinch people. But the four people who woke up hugged their heads and cried.

Bai Minghe stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and swept it the desk, swept the pen holder, paper, and the like on the desk in front of the crying four, and then shouted: "Cry, a seven-foot man can only cry." Get out, get out of here and find a no-man's corner and cry to death. ”

The four people looked at the white crane in astonishment, and there was only one feeling in their hearts, the county magistrate with a hard heart.

Bai Minghe sneered twice: "If crying can solve the problem, there will be no change in the civil fort." In a word, the frightened four people knelt on the ground, and it had only been two years since the change of the civil fort, and that person dared to discuss this matter.

Bai Minghe sat down again, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said indifferently, "You guys go down." ”

"Your Excellency!" Lu Qiyuan knelt two steps forward, and picked up a knife from the items that Bai Minghe had swept off the desk just now, which was a knife used to cut paper.

Lu Qiyuan stared at Bai Minghe's eyes, Bai Minghe's eyes were still so indifferent, without the slightest emotion.

It's not that the white crane is not sad, and it's not that the white crane is cold-blooded. As a human being in two lives, Bai Minghe has experienced more stories than he has read in these four books, and experience represents maturity. The more complicated the situation, the more you need to force yourself to calm down.

Lu Qiyuan didn't know where the ventilation came from, so he cut off a piece of his clothes with a knife and stabbed it into his arm. Glued blood to his finger and wrote a hate word. Then he knelt on the ground, his head firmly pressed against the ground.

"You don't understand, you're too young and impulsive." The white crane finally spoke.

Speaking of being young, the youngest of the four people here is also six years older than Bai Minghe, the eldest is Lu Qiyuan, and his daughters are all eight years old, and he is already thirty years old.

The white crane just turned eighteen this year.

He Yixuan also stabbed himself in the body, and Bai Minghe couldn't help but admire this courage. He Yixuan also wrote a word on the white paper that the white crane swept to the ground. He wrote 'forbearance'!

"Let's go down, come over in the afternoon and listen to the official's arrangement!" Shirana Crane put away the word ninja.

The four exited the door and were led away.

"Someone!" Bai Minghe snorted lightly, and two and a half boys ran in, one of these two was called Bai Hong, and the other was called Bai Pu. They are all children of the Bai family, Bai Hong's age is sixteen, and Bai Pu is fifteen. They are all children of the Bai family who can't read, but are sensitive and capable.

"Young Master, you command!"

"Go to Uncle Fu and tell him that his official is going to repair the county government. How to repair and how much to repair is all up to him. After Bai Minghe commanded, the two of them saluted at the same time and retreated out of Bai Minghe's study.

At lunchtime, Shira-naka did not go back to the backyard and stayed in the study.

Qinghe brought his maid to Bai Minghe to bring lunch over, a bowl of white rice, a salted fish, a plate of green vegetables I don't know what it was, and a bowl of chicken soup.

"Although the young master is busy, it's always bad to snub the master." Qinghe said as he helped Bai Minghe clean up the case files on the table.

Bai Minghe didn't answer this topic, but said: "This is not as good as the capital, there is no prosperity in the capital, and it is impossible to have as many materials as the capital." Come here, let you suffer. I'm not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and I haven't said some things for fear of hurting you. ”

Qinghe gave a look and let the little girl who had been with him for many years quit.

Only then did he say: "Young Master, this place is more like home!" ”

Bai Minghe motioned for Qinghe to sit down: "Actually, your appearance was an accident for me. To tell you the truth, my first thought after arriving in the capital was how to survive. Later, my thoughts changed a little more, that is, how to make the lives of the people around me better. ”

Qinghe nodded, she understood Bai Minghe's words.

"Something was an accident for me. Actually, I was wrong, and the fault was that I was young and frivolous. On the way from Xi'an to Hepu, I thought a lot. Is it to sit firmly as a rich man, or to really make a career. It wasn't until Hepu that I really figured out that since I was a man standing between heaven and earth, I naturally had to make a difference. ”

"Qinghe is willing to follow the young master!" Qinghe immediately took a stand.

Qinghe is very clear about her identity, and she may have countless life options to choose from. But there are only two really good choices, one is to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and be lonely for a lifetime. Such a choice can at least purify the thick layer of powder fat in your heart. Another option is to be taken as a concubine.

She was able to be a concubine, which was already an excellent choice.

Qinghe has been in the capital for many years, and she is convinced that Bai Minghe is her best choice.

After Qinghe made a statement, Bai Minghe didn't give Qinghe a promise, but just said, "I'm sorry." When I heard Bai Minghe say sorry, Qinghe felt that his heart was all pinched together, it hurt, it hurt. Shiramei Crane continued: "I have to say sorry to you, and please be considerate of me, give me some time, I need time. ”

A feeling of going from hell to heaven.

A line of tears slipped from the corners of Qinghe's eyes, and Qinghe was happy in his heart, his vision was really not wrong. The white crane is a person with affection and righteousness.

If at this time, the white crane gave any kind of empty promise, it would not be as good as the white crane thought at this time.

Qinghe knew that he was suddenly intruded into the life of the white crane, and the white crane needed time, so he would definitely think about his own existence very seriously.

The woman in the sect, even if she is a concubine, is also a vase, and at worst she is a plaything.

Shirana Crane really treats Qinghe as a person.

"I'm sorry." Bai Minghe gently helped Qinghe wipe his tears. Qinghe's face turned red: "The concubine is happy." ”

"Go take a break, and then help me put up a notice and get out. Soon new villagers will move to Hepu, so that each village has a preparation and an arrangement in advance. Then write a public case in my name, I want to re-measure the land in the county, so that the villages are preparing to cooperate, and the village Kun needs to take their original land deeds and re-check. ”

"Yes!" Qinghe bowed and stepped back.

I can't help but say that Bai Minghe is still very clever, the chaos in Hepu County has just ended, and the squires have fled, and now their fields are all ownerless fields, and Bai Minghe plans to occupy them first, and then say.

There are three kinds of ordinary people in Hepu County.

One is the pearl people, who may be the most miserable and have the lowest status, they have been pearl people for generations, and they are not allowed to cultivate the fields, even if they do not pearl diving, they can only live on seafood. But they are not fishermen, nor do they have big ships to go out to the sea, and life is the most miserable.

The second is ordinary villagers, who account for about one-twentieth of the ordinary people in Hepu County.

These are the owners of the land, and they are also poor.

The third group is the tenants, who have no land and can only live by renting the landlord's land.

The white crane re-measured the land, which is equivalent to giving more people a chance to farm.

After lunch, the four lifters also came to the white crane, and they changed their clothes again, all of them were dressed as masters. Bai Minghe took four people to the county office.

Bai Fuzheng was taking a few craftsmen to gesture here in the county office.

"My lord, the official does not repair the government. It's not unreasonable, my lord, do you use the money in the yamen to repair, or do you use your own money to repair? With the money of the yamen, some people will participate in the sin of extravagance and waste. Use your own money to repair, as the so-called iron-beaten camp and flowing soldiers, the next magistrate will not accept half of the adults! ”

It was Lu Qiyuan who spoke, and he didn't plan to let Bai Minghe repair the yamen, because there was no need.

"Repair, overhaul!" Bai Minghe did not listen to Lu Qiyuan's opinion.

Bai Fu also came over and said, "What this son said is right, there is no point in cultivating the ya!" ”

"If you want to fix it, you must fix it. If you must ask for a reason, this official only sends you four words, short-sighted! Bai Minghe originally still had a casual attitude, but when he arrived at the yamen, his thoughts changed, and Bai Minghe thought more long-term.

"Students are puzzled, please give me advice!" Lu Qiyuan really didn't understand what was the benefit of repairing this yamen.

Bai Minghe still didn't explain: "Uncle Fu, repair the main hall." Then the east side occupies a piece of land, leaving a vacant lot. In order to build a better and larger main hall in the future, this future will be to deal with some small civil cases. It doesn't matter how many years I've been here, it's important to have a prefectural order in the future. ”

Later?

Bai Fu understood, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, young master, I will personally stare at this matter!" ”

Bai Minghe stared at the dilapidated plaque with a mirror written on it and said slowly: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade!" ”

The four people wanted to look at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

In their hearts, this county magistrate is definitely not a fool, nor is he a naïve person. So the saying that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade should have some deep meaning, but they didn't trust the four of them enough, so they didn't want to explain.
