Chapter Ninety-Seven: Close to the People
Chengping Township.
The farmer was holding a hoe, standing on tiptoe, looking at the officials coming and going.
On his side, an old wife, and a pair of children.
In addition, there are also densely packed Chengping villagers, who are also looking.
"Ah Weng, look, that's the county magistrate, the county magistrate who destroyed the Wei family and the bandits, and waited for the county magistrate to be peaceful!"
The little girl cheered, but the eldest son stared at it, not knowing what to think.
After knowing that the county magistrate Liu Qi came this morning, like many people, the Ying family also wanted to see what the county magistrate who lifted the mountain above their heads and brought them expectations looked like.
But look at the fall of Merriam-Webster, half a month.
After the township was less obstructed by the wealthy people, Cao, the household of the county government, whether it was a local citizen or a hidden homeless person, re-registered all the households.
The accrual family, whose family is a hermit who fled from the land of Qingzhou when he was old last year and settled in Changchang.
A hermit, as the name suggests, is a person who has fled from his place of origin, who does not submit to forced labor, and whose name is not included in the household register.
In the year before that, in order to support the family, there were a total of five people.
The accrual should be the same as that of the eldest son, that is, he worked for the Wei clan, and his income was very small, but he barely starved to death.
In addition, he often encountered Webster's beatings and deductions.
However, a recluse like him has no choice but to endure it.
Compared with some, it should be counted as good luck for the people who were oppressed by Merriam-Webster and whose families were ruined.
Only three months ago, he suddenly heard from his neighbors that the county government had recruited villagers and had money and food to help.
Thinking that the farming was over, Ying Ji asked his second son, Ying An, who had just turned fifteen, to try it secretly.
Unexpectedly, there was really money and food to be delivered.
When Wei's was destroyed, it is said that the bandits who came to invade were also led by the county magistrate to hell, and the entire Chengping Township ushered in a big change.
"Life and death are fate, and a dead ball is a dead ball!"
When he heard the news, he touched a handful of tears and went back to the fields.
He is three in Chinese New Year's Eve, with two sons and a daughter.
Over the years, low-level people like him have been accustomed to seeing life and death.
Three years ago, during the drought in Qingzhou, in order to survive, in order to make the family have one less mouth, it was not uncommon to drown babies. Over the years, the sale of children and the drowning of children have also occurred frequently in order to save the lives of adults.
In a chaotic world, human life is like grass, but it's not just talking.
It is true that the death of the second son, if it is calculated, has been thought about, and he has not thought about getting compensation. It's just that his wife Liu cried all night with her little daughter Ying Min. The next day, it was a new day, and life went on.
In the past two days, it has been rumored that the fields of the Wei family, after being counted, will be distributed to these landless people by the order of the county magistrate.
But in the mouth of the townsman who came to propagandize, after receiving the confirmation, the sentimentality was removed, and the accrual should be like most people, and the future was full of expectations.
Seeing a group of township officials, hugging the county magistrate and walking slowly, they talked a lot, and nagged to their families:
"If the field is divided, it will be able to take root in Changxi.
If you have a field, you can plant it, and if you harvest it, your family will not starve to death!
Chick, didn't you say you wanted to eat dry rice?
When there is a field and there is more food, yes yes will let you eat dry rice every day!
Also, the boss is not small!
When you have a field, you can build a new house next to it.
The day before yesterday, I also chatted with Lao Zhang next door, his daughter, there are fourteen, only three years younger than you, when the time comes, if a matchmaker, will be the birth of the eight characters of the exchange, is the next year, looking for a good day to get married!
There is also the old woman, you have always said that you will make clothes for the family, dare to have more food, and I can't be hungry, and I and the boss can also go hunting in the mountains, which can be exchanged for some money and add some new clothes to the family. ”
Every character in the era has his own small goal, and the accrual goal is to live a good life, first of all, he will not die of hunger.
These days, after the death of his second son, the Liu family has also seen a little.
Hearing what Ying Ji said, Liu took the little girl's hand and responded: "If life can really get better, it's all up to the family." And the ancestors of the family should also thank me for waiting for this county magistrate! ”
"That's natural, the county magistrate except for the bandits, if he gives the field again, isn't it just a life-saving parent!" Accrual bared his teeth and said heavily.
When the township officials surrounded the tall and handsome county magistrate, they saw someone bringing a table, and they were giving the field in public.
All of a sudden, the onlookers shouted happily.
The accrual's hands holding the hoe were also a little trembling, and he called the eldest son, and with the hoe, he followed the crowd and went forward, and his two hands kept rubbing back and forth.
has been waiting, looking at the previous registration of many landless people, treated equally, under the gaze of the county magistrate, called the township officials to the side to grant the land, and then the township officials took the lead, went to check, the accrual heartbeat is getting faster and faster.
It should be almost to his house!
"What's accrual!"
The voice of the townsman Du Zhuang sounded, and the swarthy man who usually worked in the fields trembled a little: "Here! ”
Waiting for the accrual to squeeze to the front, face to face with the young county magistrate, there are county officials and township officials on the side.
When did he see these big officials, he lived for more than thirty years, and the biggest official he saw was just the local pavilion chief.
For a while, he was a little at a loss, and finally understood why Lao Wu was assigned to the field, and his voice stammered.
"Don't be nervous, I'm Chang Liu Qi.
Is the foot the father of Ying An? ”
Liu Qi smiled gently, looked at the crop man in front of him, and said softly.
In addition to inspecting and supervising the township officials, according to the arrangement of the county government, the confiscated land of the wealthy families was awarded to the landless farmers in accordance with the established standards, and then the hearts of the farmers were gathered and the development of the township was promoted.
can clearly revolt with the tyrants of the wealthy clans, and protect the Changshu place, among which the heroes include countless recruited villagers.
Liu Qi personally met with him, and he would give a guarantee, just to tell his subordinates that he would not forget the fallen soldiers! And will continue to protect the life of the family, but also from the military, no worries!
"The second son of my family is not sensible, he has died in battle, if he commits a crime, the little old man will kowtow!"
Where does accrual know this?
Asked by the official in front of him, he thought that the second son who died, whether he had committed an accident during the period when he was a pawn, was busy kneeling on the ground, but he quickly stretched out his hands for Liu Qi to help him up, and sighed: "The son of the foot, the warrior should be safe, and there is no fault!"
In the battle to pacify the bandits, he fought bravely, killed two thieves, and died of exhaustion!
Be an upright man!
I gave birth to a good son! ”
