What does the official do?

To put it simply, Xu is a little minion who you do things, you carry the pot, break your legs when you have something, and you can't be idle if you have nothing to do.

Of course, Xu officials also have a little power in their hands. But this little power is good for the ordinary people. If he is a scheming official, relying on this little power in his hands, he can really cause a lot of trouble.

Old man Xu is talking about farming and reading heirlooms.

Although Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er have no talent for reading, they have studied in the end and are sensible.

What the officials do, the brothers also understand.

When Zuoqiu said that he was going to give him an errand, both of them shrank back. Fortunately, their father was not confused, and he was not squinted by the small profits in front of him.

"My lord, the two sons of the grass people, you see, you don't understand anything except the strength of your arm. If you really let them go to the yamen, you will be in trouble! ”

"Besides, what the grass people do, it's what the grass people should do!"

"You don't deserve it!"

……

When Old Man Xu vigorously rejected Zuoqiu's reward, the eyes of Guan Laoqi in the village were called a hatred of iron and steel, but in front of Zuoqiu, Guan Laoqi did not dare to interject casually.

Zuoqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Xu, this official is on the official side, and there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. How can you not be rewarded for your great achievements today? ”

"In this way, this official will reward you with a hundred taels of silver in the name of the county government!"

"My lord, I can't help it, I can't help it, it's too much, it's too much!"

As soon as he heard Zuoqiu's words, Old Man Xu hurriedly waved his hand.

One hundred taels of silver, if his family suddenly got this one hundred taels of silver, would they still be able to live a stable life?

"My lord, the grass people really don't deserve such a reward. Otherwise, you can use this hundred taels of silver to build a road for our village! ”

This hundred taels of silver, if you get it in your hand now, it will definitely be hot.

Although Old Man Xu has some means, there are more than one hundred taels of silver in this house, which will really cause a lot of right and wrong. At this time, it's better to have more than one thing!

Seeing that Old Man Xu showed disdain for the remnants of the previous dynasty in front of Old Lady Xu, in his heart, he still didn't want his family to be targeted by those people.

Therefore, he could not receive any of these rewards, including money or the like.

Wealth is the bane!

In the end, under the repeated pleas of the old man Xu, Zuoqiu agreed to the old man's proposal, and the county government gave money to build the road. On the manual side, in addition to the normal Ding labor, all the people in the village who participated in the construction of the road could get a certain amount of wages according to their daily work.

After finalizing this matter, Old Man Xu successfully swiped a wave of prestige in Lingshui Village.

After all, this is a good thing that everyone earns money, and every family can benefit from it.

Then there is the road repaired, and the people in the village have followed suit.

Everything was done, the old man Xu pulled the village Zheng, and called a few elders in the village, so he set up a table of wine and food at home, and warmly entertained Zuoqiu and his party.

Chicken, duck and fish are very hearty.

The chicken is a pheasant, the duck is a wild duck, the fish is caught by the villagers from the Peach Blossom River, and the meat is rabbit meat.

In addition to these chickens, ducks and fish, there are also various vegetables and eggs.

In short, this meal is really of a high standard.

When Zuoqiu and his party were sent away, Old Man Xu went to see Mrs. Xu upside down.

"Daughter-in-law, I have an idea!"

Old Man Xu approached Mrs. Xu, "Let me tell you, you can help me figure it out!" ”
