The villagers brought things from their homes, and some even brought their own clay pots and small kettles, and if they built a few more fires, they would cook faster.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Rong and the others who were still sitting, and glared: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and help!" ”

Zhao Rong and the others came back to their senses, and hurriedly got up to help light the fire, fetch water, and went to the river to find the guards who were cutting venison and roe deer meat to get meat.

The villagers were afraid to take their hands on it, so they had to wait for them to bring the chopped bones and meat into the kettles and crockpots.

After a while, the smell of meat wafted out of the village, Zhao Hanzhang turned the hanging deer leg, took a dagger to cut off a few pieces of meat, took a leaf to put it on, and then sprinkled a little salt on it, and handed it to the old man with both hands.

The old man waved his hand again and again in panic, "The general eats first." ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and put the leaves in his hand and said, "The elder eats first." ”

She beckoned Wei Xian and the others, "Come and eat meat, everyone." ”

The villagers crowded over one after another, all looking at the old man with envy, smelling the constant smell of meat, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Zhao Hanzhang gave them a piece of meat to eat, and everyone who could get the meat from Zhao Hanzhang's own hands was very excited, and they couldn't wait to take the meat home and offer it, but when they saw that everyone had eaten it, the meat on the tip of their nose was too fragrant, so they couldn't help but eat it.

Zhao Hanzhang slice a round, and the other deer leg was almost roasted, Zhao Hanzhang handed the knife to Zhao Rong and asked them to slice the meat and experience what it means to "serve the people".

She summoned Zeng Yue, "You don't need to cut the rest of the meat, peel the skin, and give the meat to Wei Xian and the elders before leaving, and they will share it fairly with the villagers." ”

Zeng Yue should go down. "Girl, it's getting late, when are we going back to the city?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "I'll go back after eating." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the skin they peeled off and asked, "Do you know how to put on the skin?" ”

Zeng Yue said embarrassedly: "The leather made of lowly tanning is not good, but Wenyang Denitrate is good." ”

Wen Yangde is one of Zhao Hanzhang's personal guards, with a round face, simple, formerly called Wen Dalang, and has never had a big name, but he asked Zhao Hanzhang to take it after following Zhao Hanzhang.

There is only one requirement for him to choose a name, that is, he sounds like a particularly cultured and virtuous person, and then Zhao Hanzhang looked at his little round face and gave him Yangde.

Although she thinks it sounds good to be called Da Lang, but in her personal guards, there are not twenty people called Da Lang, but there are ten, looking at the entire forbidden army, calling Da Lang, at least hundreds of people responded, even with their surnames, there are also eight or nine.

Zhao Hanzhang called Wen Yangde and handed him a few peeled skins, "Go to the villagers and roar, call a few young people, and teach them how to tann leather." ”

Wen Yangde was stunned for a moment and immediately responded and ran to find someone.

Zhao Hanzhang returned to the fire, drank broth and ate slices of meat with the villagers, and spoke, "Wei Xian, it is rare to see a young village elder like you, you can be elected as the village elder, it can be seen that you are capable and everyone's love for you, I hope you will live up to my trust, the hope of the villagers, and be a good village elder." ”

Wei Xian responded excitedly and seriously, patted his chest and said that he must be a good village elder and manage the village well.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, taught him what kind of things he should accomplish as a good village elder, and told him: "You can discuss the affairs in the village with the old people in the village, they have more knowledge, and they are more stable than my young people." ”

He also said: "You can also ask more young people's opinions, they have fighting spirit, now the day outside is different, the court often has new policies and technologies come out, young people walk more outside, and they are more well-informed." ”

Zhao Rong sat aside and said secretly: Isn't that just to listen to everyone's opinions? Don't go your own way?

Wei Xian didn't hear the secret meaning, but just memorized it firmly and planned to act according to her instructions.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and everyone had a delicious lunch together.

This is the best meal of the year for the villagers, and they haven't eaten so well for the New Year a few days ago, so it is also their happiest day.

When Zhao Hanzhang and them were leaving, the villagers of the whole village were reluctant and wanted to send them ten miles away, but Zhao Hanzhang glanced at their feet and resolutely refused.

She left the rest of the raw meat for them, told Wei Xian and the old people to give it to each family according to human hair, and then divided the three deer skins among Wei Xian and the two old men.

When Wei Xian got this grace, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and he couldn't wait to kneel on the ground immediately and say that he wanted to smear Zhao Hanzhang's liver and brain. As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, he immediately gathered the villagers of the whole village and divided the raw meat on the spot.

The distribution is particularly fair, and no one takes an extra finger of meat, and no one takes a finger less.

Seeing that Wei Xian was finally the director, no longer as alone as before, and only took care of his own family, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, clenched his granddaughter's hand, and said to her: "It's still a good girl, when the family receives new food this year, I will also send you to the city to study, and if you read, you may be as smart and capable as the girl." ”

He vaguely knew that Zhao Hanzhang was doing this to let Wei Xian manage them well and manage the village as well as possible, but if he wanted him to tell the truth, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of why.

The old man, with his only knowledge, decided that only reading could make up for this.

As long as her granddaughter can know the truth when she reads, she will use it if she knows it, then she is also a capable person.

The old man touched her head and said, "Vanilla, now the girl can both study and be an official, although your father and brother are gone, as long as you are smart and diligent, you will definitely be able to live on your own." ”

Vanilla nodded with tears in her eyes, grabbed the old man's hand tightly, and nodded: "Azu, I will support myself, and I will support Azu!" ”

The old man smiled with satisfaction.

Zhao Hanzhang took two deer back to the city, one deer was handed over to Zeng Yue and them, so that they could divide it themselves, and the remaining one she handed over to Tinghe, so that she could find someone to skin it, and then distribute it to each family.

"The two deer legs will be sent to the fifth and seventh uncles, Ah Niang and the princess will pick the best tendon meat and send it, and you will pick the rest and send it to Mr. Ji and Mr. Ming."

Zhao Hanzhang handed her the rabbit he had been carrying in his hand and said, "We eat rabbit meat at night, and when Ting Han comes back, he will come to the study to find me." ”

Listen to the charge.

Zhao Hanzhang went directly to the study, took out a blank piece of paper and started writing.

It was her negligence, and now the management of the village is still in accordance with the old system, she has not changed, but now most of the villages are newly built, many villagers are unfamiliar, and only a small number of the original clansmen gathered into villages.

In such a situation, if the management is not strict, it is easy for all kinds of disputes to occur.

The manpower in the countryside is far higher than that in the cities, and if it is used well, its production capacity far exceeds that of the cities, and it can also enable the country to get out of poverty more quickly.

Governing the country comes from a small place, and she was negligent before.
