As soon as he saw Lin Ji's expression, Ximen Leopard knew that he couldn't ask anything famous, but now it was his old mother's birthday, although it was very urgent, but it was not to the extent of burning his eyebrows, so Ximen Leopard forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart to summon the Qiu chief, and instructed Lin Jibao: "Ji Yuan, you go to Haosheng to entertain Chief Qiu first, and after the banquet is over, the town will immediately talk to him in detail." ”

"No!"

At the next wedding banquet, Ximen Leopard and other insiders were a little absent-minded, only Ximen Bailu, who was with the old mother, smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken, and his charming eyes were full of cunning that succeeded in his scheme.

After the wedding banquet, the guests also saw that the Ximen Town Mansion was a little absent-minded, and they all said goodbye and left, and Ximen Leopard did not pretend to stay, and directly borrowed the donkey from the slope, and after the guests left, they immediately ran to the side hall, where the officials of Xuanling Town and the big chief of the Qiu tribe, the protagonist of the matter, Qiu Shan, were waiting.

"Chief Qiu... Hurry up, please. Ximen Leopard didn't care about greeting his colleagues, and hurriedly took two steps forward to pull up Qiu Shan, who was kneeling and saluting, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Chief Qiu understands the righteousness this time, and his heart is king, and he has set a good example for the tribes in Hejian.

"Yes, yes..."Qiu Shan could only grin, not knowing how to answer, but he understood the glory and wealth, and now he was relieved, as long as the next life was not worried, the chief didn't want anything, anyway, the Qiu tribe didn't have two taels of oil.

"Haha, okay, at first glance, Chief Qiu is a real person and will not play tricks. "The woodenness of the hills and mountains made Simon Leopard appreciate it even more, he likes this kind of honest man who is uninformed and has a straight intestine, so foolish, ah no, it is good to be sensitive, simple and direct.

Got Simon Leopard's affirmation, Qiu Shan smiled even happier, and his appearance also made the officials in the hall feel relaxed, and their faces were also full of smiles.

"Sit down, sit down," Ximen Leopard said with a smile, "Chief Qiu has come from a long way, he must stay tonight, this town has to get drunk with Chief Qiu." ”

"Hehe, good, good..."Qiu Shan replied with a smile.

"Ah, that's right..."Ximen Leopard put away his smile, pondered for a while, and asked, "I don't know why Chief Qiu suddenly thought of raising the clan to attach it, but what are the problems? It doesn't matter, as long as Chief Qiu says it, this town will definitely help Chief Qiu solve it as appropriate." ”

"Uh... No problem!" Qiu Shan blinked, shook his head and said, "The tribe is very good, much better than before, thanks to the gifts of the old men of Huaxia!"

[Could it be that Huaxia Tian's grace is vast, and the grace has infected these foreign people?] The room full of people came up with this absurd idea for a while, how can this kind of beauty that only appears in superficial articles be reality?

At this time, Qiu Shan continued: "It was Miss Ximen who told us that if we are willing to annex, we can become real Huaxia people, we can get the protection of the Huaxia Shogunate, and no one will dare to lie to us when buying and selling things... Lord Simon, do what the eldest lady says?"

"Egret?" Ximen Leopard's brain was about to turn for a while, and everyone looked at each other, no one thought that this matter was actually caused by the eldest lady who was usually very arrogant.

"My lord, is it?" Qiu Shan panicked, and when he looked at the expressions of Ximen Leopard and the others, he knew that they didn't know about this matter in advance, if this didn't count, wouldn't he have died.

"Ah, count, of course count!" Ximen Leopard retracted his thoughts and said affirmatively: "As long as you are attached, all of your tribe will automatically be Huaxia, and the chieftain himself and his family will even have the opportunity to move to Xin'an to live." ”

"Xin'an?!" Qiu Shan was so excited that he almost swayed, the place name 'Xin'an', he had heard more than once, it was the royal city of China, and what he heard from other people's mouths was mostly prosperous and rich, for these natives, it was a place like heaven.

"Yes, Xin'an!" said Simon Leopard heavily.

After sending Qiushan back to the post house to rest, Ximen Leopard discussed with the town leadership for a while, and hurried to the backyard, found Ximen Egret, and scolded, such an important thing was done in private, and he didn't tell his brother that it was done now, if it didn't happen, it would have caused a bad impact, and the consequences were unimaginable.

I was still waiting for Ximen Leopard to praise it, but I didn't expect to wait for Ximen Leopard's harsh reprimand, Ximen Egret only felt aggrieved and wanted to cry, and roared at Ximen Leopard angrily, and ran away without looking back.

After leaving home, Ximen Egret didn't know where to go for a while, so he ran straight to the post house, found Qiu Baihua who came with the team, took him to the tavern and drank hard, and complained in front of him, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"Baihua, do you think my brother is a big villain!" asked with the intention of drinking, Ximen Bailu stared at Qiu Baihua.

Qiu Baihua shrunk his neck in a sneer, Ximen Bailu can say bad things about Ximen Leopard without any scruples, he can't do it, he still wants to live a few more years, besides, from the bottom of his heart, he agrees with Ximen Leopard's approach, he is also the eldest in the family, he can understand Ximen Leopard's thoughts.

"That, Ximen Town Mansion is also good for you..."

Before Qiu Baihua finished speaking, Ximen Bailu slapped the wine glass on the table unhappily, snorted, and turned his head to ignore him.

The scene became awkward for a while.

After a while, Qiu Baihua glanced at the sky and said, "Miss, it's not early, I'll send you back, otherwise the family will be in a hurry." ”

"Hmph, don't go back!" Simon Egret snorted as he lay on the table all of a sudden.

Qiu Baihua scratched her head anxiously and said, "Even if the eldest lady is angry with the town government, the old lady will be in a hurry." ”

At the mention of his mother, Simon Egret reluctantly got up, dropped a steel hammer, and took the lead in leaving.

Qiu Baihua looked at the steel jump with a painful heart, this wine was not worth so much at all, but Ximen Bailu had already run away, so he had to reluctantly chase after it, cheapening the wine boss.

When sending Ximen Egret back to the town, in front of the town house, the two happened to meet Qiu Shan who came to the town to go to the banquet, Qiu Shan was very surprised that Qiu Baihua could be alone with Ximen Egret, he originally thought that Qiu Baihua was to send a letter to Ximen Egret, but he didn't expect that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and he was glad that he had agreed to Qiu Baihua's request before, otherwise he would offend Ximen Egret, and that day would definitely be difficult.

......

On May 15, the seventh year of China, Ximen Leopard sent a temporary management group and a Tun army to enter the Qiu tribe with Qiu Mountain, and at the same time, Ximen Leopard also flew this matter to Xin'an.

On May 24, the seventh year of China, Li Kang issued an article praising Ximen Leopard's work ability and Qiu Shan's loyalty, and gave Qiu Shan a special Xin'an mansion to reward Qiu Shan. On May 29, the cabinet messenger arrived in Xuanling Town and read out the cabinet's instructions, allowing the Qiu tribe to be attached and renamed "Qiujia Village" on the spot , with the leader of the temporary management team Yu Zhongyun as the head of Qiujia Village, with the former Qiu tribe Chaoyanqiu Highland as the deputy village head, and with the 131 battalion 1 Qu 3 Tuntun Chang Jiao Mian as the acting village captain, the village lieutenant belongs to the administrative officer system, generally served by military officials or retired soldiers, sometimes militia officers can also be filled, active officers are only temporary, because active officers rarely stay in one place for a long time, and they will be transferred away if there is an emergency.

As soon as this reply came out, there was no impact on the Huaxia side, at most it attracted some folk businessmen to try their luck, but the impact among the natives was mostly there, not only the aborigines of Hejian, but also the natives of the entire Huaxia basically knew about it within a few months, because I don't know who accidentally spread the word about it, even if you don't hear anything outside the window, there will be caring people who climb to your window to tell you.

Coupled with the establishment of Qiujia Village, Xuanling Town also stepped up the pace, and began to lobby the upper echelons of the first batch of selected tribes, and then there was Qiushan's Zhuyu in front - this goods had already moved to Xin'an to live in a big house with a large family, and I heard that the generalissimo personally received him and rewarded him with a large number of treasures- Even if you don't have the merit of the first attachment, you won't be treated badly, besides, there are Huaxia soldiers eyeing you behind, so coercive and tempting, the effect is surprisingly good, the first batch of sixteen tribes, thirteen of them directly succumbed to reality, and the remaining three, two of them also handed over their governance after twisting and pinching, only one was very stubborn, and did not hesitate to move out of the river, and was unwilling to return, Ximen Leopard and Liu Shuang did not embarrass them, according to Ni Huanran's suggestion, for those who did not cooperate, they adopted a temporary indulgent attitude.

As it turned out, this was right, the remaining tribes saw that Huaxia was still reasonable, and the one that did not cooperate was not hit, and everything was still as usual, and Huaxia stopped after annexing fifteen tribes, and did not continue to expand the battle record, and the tribes who were waiting and watching were all relieved, whether they were willing to attach or not, their hearts were settled.

It's just that these chiefs and elders have neglected one thing, their hearts have settled down, but the hearts of the people at the bottom have become more and more active with the passage of time, especially when the seven villages formed by the merger of the first batch of sixteen tribes, including Qiujia Village, have undergone rapid changes, and the level of activity has become even higher.

On July 6, the seventh year of Huaxia, early in the morning, Cheng Bi, the head of Shanbei Village, Xuanling Town, took the old and young to start tidying up the fields.

Cheng Bi, as a high-achieving student who graduated from Xin'an University, was sent to the central organ as a clerk as soon as he graduated, and this time many village-level units were established, and many of the 07 graduates who just graduated this year were transferred down to become village officials by the central paperwork to train these newcomers.

Cheng Bi was extremely lucky to become one of the first six people, after all, in the center, Qinggui is Qinggui, but if he wants to come out, he doesn't know if he will wait until the Year of the Monkey, even if Huaxia is now in a period of high-speed development, he doesn't have to worry about not having a pit, but the radish waiting to occupy the pit is not more and more year by year.

Cheng Bi is one of them, even if his wife was just pregnant, he still resolutely left home and ran to this place where birds don't to be a village official. Don't look down on the village officials, the village officials are also organized.

In the tribal era, there was basically no concept of private ownership, all the food was a big pot of rice, the prey was public, and the grain planted was also public, although this situation changed somewhat after the emergence of the Chinese people, such as some people will rely on their own skills to make extra money, but the idea of public ownership is still the mainstream. This has also created a considerable obstacle to the work of the village officials.

Since it is public ownership, then there is no private land, so as to avoid ripping, but also to avoid a big embarrassment, now the Chinese themselves do not have land, there is no reason for the new indigenous people to have.

"The deputy village head of Shanbei, the fields in the village are too rough, the villagers are very casual when they sow seeds, and there is no tidying, one in the east and one in the west, and the shape is not irregular, which is not only not conducive to counting the acres of fields, but also not conducive to irrigation... After all, we can't have two acres of land in the east, let's dig a canal and set up a waterwheel, and then there are two acres of land in the west, and we have to dig a canal and set up a waterwheel, right?

"We must rectify! We must rectify!" Cheng Bi said, waving his arm, "mobilize the villagers, re-plan the fields, and erect boundary monuments... I would go to the town and ask experienced old farmers to come and guide, and then dig canals, set up water wheels, ridges, and compost fertilizers, and strive to do the best I can with my strength... These are all good land, take good care of them, and then plant some high-yield crops, our Shanbei Village has a small population, and it is completely possible to achieve food and clothing within two years, five years of well-off, and ten years of prosperity!"

Anyway, if you brag and don't want money, Cheng Bi doesn't have any pressure to blow it, don't you see that the excited faces of those turtles are red? Such a beautiful prospect stimulates and motivates them, and they don't worry about not working hard, this is not for him, the village head, but for themselves! As for the matter of dividing the land, Cheng Bi did not say a word.

Almost at the same time, the newly appointed head of Qiujia Village, Yu Zhongyun, the head of Taojia Village, Shi Yan, the head of Lijia Village, Li Antai, the head of Lijia Village, He Bei, the head of Baiyun Village, Wuzhang, the head of Khmer Village, and Zhang Kuai, the head of Tujia Village, all set their first eyes on the farmland.
