Before dawn the next day, the old lady called Wu Daotian to wash his face and dress.

When he went out in a new outfit, the golden flower who sent him giggled: "Second brother looks really good when he wears it." ”

Wu Daotian glanced at him and said, "Could it be that I used to be ugly?" and went out with his eldest brother and Wangcai, Wu Daotian was able to go to work in the yamen, and the two of them were full of joy.

"Big brother, Wangcai, after a while, you don't have to mine anymore. Wu Daotian said.

"Mining is not tiring, Wangcai and I take turns, and we can practice for half a day. Wu Daode smiled honestly.

Wu Daotian sighed and said: "Then you can't be a miner all the time, don't worry, big brother, my father doesn't care about this family, I have to take care of my younger brother." ”

In a distant place, a man who looked five points similar to Wu Daotian sneezed loudly.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, the three of them went separately.

At this time, there were already stalls on the street selling breakfast and pushing carts to collect toilets, and when they saw Wu Daotian, they all greeted each other and said with a smile: "Erlang is going to the Yamen?"

In the past, Wu Daotian walked on the street, and he was ignored, but suddenly so many people began to greet him, which made Wu Daotian quite unaccustomed to it, so he had to respond again and again: "Yes... Morning. Sixth aunt. ”

In this way, I walked all the way to the gate of the yamen, said hello to the messenger at the door, and went straight to the officer's room to report that Gao Mingli was not there, only a few scribes sat there and chatted. Seeing Wu Daotian come in, the scholar yesterday pointed at him and smiled: "Oh, this is the 'I don't speak first in the spring, that insect dares to make a sound?'"

Everyone smiled and got up to salute Wu Daotian, and they all looked up for a long time. Because he is the son of Wu Yongnan, he is very polite to him. Everyone pulled Wu Daotian to sit together, and said with a smile: "Everyone is on an errand under one roof, you are the youngest, we are all brothers, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, just ask us." ”

Wu Daotian agreed with everyone and soon became familiar with them. There are advantages and disadvantages to any house, such as a rich house, but there are many affairs. Not to mention tired, it is easy to go wrong. It's better to have a quiet and leisurely room and live a comfortable life.

"But for you, brother. A few scholars looked at the door, lowered their voices, and said, "Try not to go into the house." ”

"Why?" Wu Daotian listened very attentively, and said strangely when he heard it.

"Because Secretary Lin and your father have been rivals for many years. A scholar said in a low voice, and at this time Gao Mingli came back, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Brother Tian, the county lord called you. Gao Mingli looked at Wu Daotian and said, "Do you need to find someone to take you over?"

"The little nephew knows the way. Wu Daotian shook his head and said goodbye, Gao Mingli lectured his subordinates, and didn't pay attention to him anymore, and his enthusiasm was much worse than yesterday.

Wu Daotian followed yesterday's road and came to the Yuemen Cave, and saw yesterday's Menzi sitting there, he greeted the man, and was about to go inside. But he was stopped by the doorman, looked at Wu Daotian and said: "New here, this is the rear office, and you are not allowed to enter without a pass." ”

"It's the county lord looking for me. ”

"That's going to have to make sense. Menzi pursed his lips and took root under his feet.

"......" Wu Daotian realized that this guy was going to enter the door for money, and he was unhappy for a while. But yesterday, I wrote on the painting of Ji Inspector, and today I quarreled with the door of the county lord of Wei, and in the eyes of everyone, I will become a thorn in the head.

Helplessly, he took out two coppers from the boot page, but the door didn't accept it, Wu Daotian rolled his eyes and said: "Just these two, do you want love." ”

"Love can't enter, no money to get out. Menzi was furious, a newcomer dared to be unkind to his dignified Menzi uncle.

"That's what you said, then I'll go back. Wu Daotian turned around and left. This old thing thinks he's a newcomer, so he doesn't understand anything?

"Alas, don't ......" That man is so depressed, why is this kid born like an old fritter, I don't know if it's a family history or a stunned young man?

Both coppers were saved, and Wu Daotian entered the back office.

After the ceremony, he led him into the public house, and waited for a while before the county lord of Wei came out to see him, followed by Tong Wen.

"Meet the county lord. "On an errand in the county office, unless the county lord orders him to kneel, he only needs to make a bow.

"Excuse me. "The county lord of Wei sat down on the main seat, Tong Wen sat on his right hand, and as for Wu Daotian, of course he was still standing.

"Wu Daotian, this official wants to thank you for two things," the county lord of Wei was dressed in official clothes, full of style. "One is that you helped me turn over the case. The other is your poem, which I like very much. ”

"The county lord has won the prize. Wu Daotian hurriedly replied.

"But you also have to fight. Tong Wen accosted on the side: "Make a contribution as soon as possible, after the warden is the secretary, the eldest master can promote you as soon as possible, otherwise if you boil up your qualifications, there are dozens of people in front of you, and it will be your turn in the Year of the Monkey?"

"......" Wu Daotian is not the previous Wu Er, give an iron rod as a needle, you can't hear that these two people are playing a trick on themselves, the warden has not yet arrived, and now he will start to give the painting priest a big cake. He thought about it last night, since he offended Inspector Ji, he had to hug the thigh of the county lord of Wei. Whether he can be an errand boy in the yamen smoothly is in the hands of this county lord.

It's just that I didn't expect that on the first day, I would have the opportunity to 'make meritorious contributions', and I can't wait for it, right? Wu Daotian surged up with cannon fodder consciousness, and said in his heart: "The villain is favored by the county lord, and it is really a blessing for three lives. ”

"Hmm. The county lord of Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the official still has some things, let Mr. Tong tell you about the arrangement." As he spoke, he got up and patted Wu Daotian on the shoulder.

Wu Daotian sent the county lord of Wei in, and when he turned around, he saw Tong Wennuo smiling, obviously laughing at the traces of his performance.

Wu Daotian grinned and said, "Thank you, sir, for your great kindness." ”

"Ahem, speaking of which, he has achieved Wendan, this kid is still the guide of his chance, this point must not be forgotten at any time......" Tong Wendeng's heart became a little weak, and he would push him into the fire pit for a while.

"A few days ago, the Lingtian book of the household has been completed, and it was sent to the old man for review before the case, so that the county lord re-stamped the official seal, and invalidated the original Lingtian deed to form a new field deed. Tong Wen sighed and said: "According to the statistics of households, the county's household registration and ordinary fields have basically not changed much, but the spiritual fields have lost dozens of acres, which is said to have degenerated into ordinary fields." ”

"Oh......" Wu Daotian nodded, he somewhat understood.

Eighty percent of the officials of the county government colluded with the mayor of the town to conceal the Lingtian as an ordinary field, and then buy the Lingtian at the price of the ordinary field after two years. After concealing the Lingtian, the Linggu collected will decrease, but when the Lingtian farmers pay the Linggu, there is a lot of it, so the extra Linggu naturally goes into the pockets of the officials and squires, but it makes the county lord take the cylinder.

There are eight towns in one county in Bacheng, and the spiritual field of the government is about 4,000 acres.

It takes a lot of materials to transform an ordinary field into a spiritual field, and if an acre of ordinary land wants to be transformed into a spiritual field, you must first use a hundred spirit stones to lay the foundation, and in addition, someone usually has to take care of it, and it needs to be maintained by a spiritual planter. Spiritual cultivation families like Wu Fu are all in charge of maintaining the spiritual field.

It is very difficult for a small family to cultivate a spiritual field, in addition to the family with a long inheritance can cultivate some, the average family does not have such manpower and material resources at all, and the wealthy family will open up a spiritual field in the yard at most, and the descendants will pass it on. Like some big families in Bacheng, over the years, they have only saved dozens of acres of spiritual land.
