*********************************

Although the wooden passenger ship sailing down the river has no mechanical power, due to the recent abundant rainfall, the water flow is rapid, and it arrives at the terminal at the terminal of Zhaoxian Town at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Wu Ming's three people and two protective brothers did not stop, but at this time there was no passenger ship to Changshan County, so they could only use three ocean bags to rent a carriage from the horse company, and finally entered Changshan County at nightfall.

Changshan has been established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called Dingyang County at that time, the county seat is not the current Tianma Town, but the Zhaoxian Ancient Town that just got off the ship in the east, it was renamed Xin'an County in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty changed to Changshan, and the name of the county was obtained because there is a Changshan in the south of the county.

After thousands of years of war, the county town has long been without the city wall, but the government has set up a sentry post at the entrance to the city, and you must pay it when you enter the city, which makes Wu Ming feel a little relieved that the officers and soldiers guarding the city only recognize money and do not recognize people, and they do not need to issue any identity certificates or road slips to enter the city, as long as each person pays five copper plates, those drunken officers and soldiers will no longer pay attention to you.

The carriage passed through the checkpoint and entered the stone street, Wu Ming suddenly remembered the sister-in-law Fang and the two old men with a big belly in the cave, and remembered that the sister-in-law said that her unlucky husband was named Fang Youchun, and before being framed and imprisoned, he was the deputy commander of the major general of the West Zhejiang Security Command and the head of the Changshan Security Regiment, and also said some things about Changzhou, Quzhou and his own family, Wu Ming clearly remembered that the two old men were the parents of Fang's sister-in-law, surnamed Zhang, and their home was in Dexing County, north of Shangrao.

Fang's sister-in-law graduated from Hangzhou Normal eight years ago, married Fang Youchun, who led the troops stationed in Hangzhou at that time, and became Fang Zhang's family, and since then she has lived a life of running with the army, three years ago, with the promotion of the deputy commander of the Zhejiang West Security Command and the head of the Changshan Security Corps, her husband returned to her hometown of Changshan, until the beginning of the year when her husband was framed and imprisoned.

Entering Changshan County at this moment, Wu Ming thought of this, and was quite worried in his heart, I don't know if Sister-in-law Fang has redeemed her husband, and roughly calculates that she should have given birth to a child three months ago.

"A few guests, Yulonsheng Inn has arrived!"

The coachman reined in the horse and reminded loudly, raised his legs and got out of the car, stood aside, and took the three oceans paid by Lu Kuiyuan and bowed repeatedly, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

The two brothers who followed the protection did not wait for Wu Ming's orders, and had quickly paid into the inn, and saw that the two of them were talking happily with the guys at the counter and looked familiar, Wu Ming guessed that the two brothers who followed the caravan were familiar with this inn, and it was estimated that Li Kun, the third master, would live here when he came to Changshan.

"Sixth brother, just open two rooms, don't bother, I live in one room with Kui Yuan, and then ask me for cigarettes, the 'Three Forts' will do."

Wu Ming stopped the two brothers from arranging a separate room for themselves, looked around, and found that the scale of this inn was not small, and followed the shopkeeper who led the way into the wide courtyard behind, and saw the exquisite rockery placed in the middle and the flowers and plants planted around, the ground and corridor were clean, and the environment was also very quiet, it was a good place.

The two brothers asked Wu Ming for a suite on the second floor, there is a table of eight immortals in the middle of the living room of nearly ten square meters, there are carefully framed calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and there are two solid wood beds placed side by side, which are covered with soft bamboo mats made by Seiko, calligraphy and paintings are also hung on the wall, there is a simple coat rack by the door, and there is a desk in front of the bed, which feels simple and comfortable overall.

Wu Ming went downstairs to take a bath and came back, and found that exquisite dishes had been placed on the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle of the living room, as well as a bottle of famous wine "Qianjiangchun" from Quzhou.

Since Wu Ming didn't plan to treat bandits as his profession, and didn't want everyone to call him the fourth master or the fourth brother, the brothers thought about it and came up with a compromise solution, regardless of age, they called Wu Ming "Brother Ming", and the children were called "Uncle Ming" like Lei Peng, so the sixth brother asked respectfully after the report: "What else does Brother Ming command?" ”

"Add two chairs and have a drink together."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he walked to the coat hook to hang the towel, the two brothers who thought they were subordinates and did not dare to share the table were moved, and the other was just about to say goodbye, but he was held down by the sixth child, he knew Wu Ming's temper, although he didn't talk much in the face of unfamiliar people, and he usually didn't have a smiling face, but he valued love and righteousness and had a generous temperament, and never put on any swagger, but he didn't listen to him, no matter who you were, he wouldn't give you a good face.

After eating and drinking, the shopkeeper came to clean up, the two brothers said goodbye and returned to the room on the first floor, Wu Ming took the fragrant tea and smoked, and began to ask the two apprentices who came back from taking a bath how they felt along the way.

As Wu Ming's questions became more and more tricky, the two young men who went out for the first time were stupid, and they couldn't answer the last sentence after stammering.

Wu Ming then patiently explained, such as "why I want you to remember the number of sentry at the city gate", "why do you want to check the good location of the street where the inn is located", "when you go down to take a bath, you should pay attention to whether there is a back door, a husband, the height of the fence and the surrounding environment", etc., seizing the opportunity of the two of them to enter the city for the first time to instill their own ideas, and put forward a series of harsh requirements, analyzing the principles that must be followed one by one.

In the end, the two simple young men were resigned, secretly regretting their ignorance and carelessness, and lay down on the bed, and the two of them still slept with one eye open.

The next morning, they went to the front hall together to finish breakfast, Wu Ming and the three of them went directly to the county government under the guidance of the two brothers, entered the county government compound and asked the specific location of the civil affairs department, Wu Ming signaled everyone to wait in the courtyard, entered the middle courtyard alone, and went straight to the second section chief's office in the left wing.

The forty-year-old chief of the civil affairs section of Changshan County had just arrived, and he was enjoying the good tea brewed by his subordinates, and when he raised his blister eyes, he saw a young man with extraordinary bearing standing at the door and bowing slightly.

After a little hesitation, the section chief motioned for his subordinates to leave, and nodded majestically to Wu Ming and ordered: "Come in and talk about something." ”

Wu Ming came to the desk and bowed slightly: "Hello Section Chief Huang!" The student is from Maoliangwu in the north of the city, surnamed Wu, called Wu Ming, before, our whole village has registered the list of people, family relations and land conditions, and submitted it to the civil affairs department of the county government. ”

The short and fat section chief Huang scratched his head with few hairs: "Mao Liangwu? Mao Liangwu? Oh! Remember, a person surnamed Li from your village came here a few days ago, right? Ah! Poor thing! Years of plagues, people and animals have died, and the people of Maoliangwu are suffering! ”

"Yes, the people in the village survived one-fifth, and this year they dared to gather the scattered clansmen to go back to rebuild their homes, bury the bones and worship the ancestral grave, after the students saw the notice published by the special office, they asked the old people in the village to know that we Mao Liangwu since the Republic of China, has not carried out population and land registration, so timely remind the village elders to handle it as soon as possible in accordance with the law, today the students once again took the liberty to come to inquire about the situation, and asked the seniors to take care of it." Wu Ming's words were very respectful.

Section Chief Huang made a sudden statement: "Well, I know about this, but according to the regulations, our Civil Affairs Section still needs to send someone to verify, and our Civil Affairs Section has too few manpower, and even the registration and verification work of the forty-two villages around Zhaoxian Town has not been completed, and it will not be the turn of Maoliangwu, the northernmost part of the county, for a while and a half!" Ha Luha, young man, I'm afraid this matter will have to be ....... ”

Section Chief Huang stopped suddenly, staring at Wu Ming's ten taels of gold bars that Huang Cancan quickly put on the table, which can be worth four hundred oceans according to the market value, and was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head, his face was full of kind smiles: "Oops! You, you! ”

Wu Ming hurriedly explained: "It's just a gift, not a respect, the students want to buy a small machine and ship back from the provincial capital these days, so that it is convenient for the village fathers and elders to transport food and farm tools, sell local products or something to improve their lives, but now the bandits and chaos are all over Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and the governments and armies around the country have set up water and land checkpoints, even our soldiers in Changshan City have increased, but the students have not applied for identity certificates, and it is difficult to move an inch!" ”

Section Chief Huang nodded frequently: "Hmm! This matter really can't be delayed, how many people and how much land have been reported in your village? ”

"Back to the predecessors, due to the plague for many years, there are only 96 men, women and children left in the village, and the land is only 800 acres." Wu Ming replied.

"Oops! O iniquity! Well, there aren't many people, so I'll tell you to go down later, and you can come and get back the village's identity certificate at about four o'clock in the afternoon...... However, as for the land, it involves issues such as the re-issuance of the title deed and the collection of taxes, and it will take a while before someone can be sent to conduct an on-site survey and approve the land deed before it can be issued, do you understand? Section Chief Huang looked at Wu Ming kindly.

Wu Ming bowed knowingly and thanked: "The juniors understand, it should be, Xie Lu thanks the seniors!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha! Okay, then you come in the afternoon, I instruct the people below, you can go directly to the window of the next office to get the certificate, and it is convenient for you to be with others! ”

"Thank you! The seniors are busy with work, so the juniors won't bother, see you again! ”

"Good to say, good to say, hahaha!"
