"Eh, auntie, I'm a Beijing official in the court, how can I collect the people's things, eggs are so valuable, one costs thirty yuan, you hurry up and take it back."

Ma Changchang has made an oath since he became an official-

Never eat Naka, ask the people for even a grain of rice.

What's more, it's an egg for thirty dollars.

At first, he was indeed keeping his oath, and then before he knew it, this principle became the bottom line that must be followed.

Because Yuwen Shihong can be said to be leakless in formulating laws.

"Auntie knows that you officials have to be fair, and you can't take anyone's things, but this is just food, not money."

"What's the matter, it's rare to go back to the village on vacation, can't you come to the eldest mother's house for a meal, can't you eat an egg from the eldest mother? So out-of-this? ”

Chen was even very unhappy that Ma did not accept it in the long run.

Ma Changchang smiled bitterly and resolutely pushed the egg back:

"Auntie, it's not the afterlife who sees the outside, it's the rules above, the consequences of violating the rules are very serious, besides, it should be the posterity that invites the two aunts to have a meal, but the itinerary is in a hurry, so I couldn't go to the two aunts' houses to visit."

In the past, Ma Chang thought about it and accepted it, but now, this is a hard and fast rule.

It's not that no one knows if he accepts it—

Yangzhou's Nayan Office, as well as the patrol of the Thorn Mansion, are not eating rice, they go around every day, and they are "happy" to inquire about the stains of officials.

As long as they find out, even if it's just two eggs, they will report it at the reception office.

Earlier, there were colleagues from Sinong Temple, thinking that they were just having a meal with the villagers who had a good relationship with the same village, but when they were patrolling, they overheard someone bragging that a certain official had a meal at his house.

This was ordered by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and fined a thousand dollars!

The first offense is fined, the second offense is ten, and the three offenses directly affect the praise and depreciation of the official position!

No kidding!

As for why the mysterious people at the patrol and the reception are so inquisitive, it is because there is a reward.

For every "inquiry" about a similar matter, the reward is as little as 100.

If there is a serious corruption incident in the "inquiry", the reward of 10,000 yuan is considered small.

In short, there are "eyeliner" staring at these officials, and these uncles and aunts have no door.

Although there have been great changes in these years, what has not changed is that for the people, who knows an official master, it is still a capital worth bragging about after dinner.

In short, if you don't think about anything, it's better to start with nothing "bad" at all.

Ma Chang couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the two eldest ladies, so he had to turn the head of the carriage and send the two eldest ladies back to the village in the public carriage on the grounds of "fear of danger when it gets dark".

Now the two eldest ladies are terrible, because the flat-headed people, the horses have seen a lot, but it is the first time to take the carriage.

"Oh, what a great event this year!" As soon as Ma was happy, those words swirled around her mouth again:

"The twenty acres of land that our family was serving the day before yesterday, after leaving three stones as rations, we sold a total of 95,500 yuan!"

"Even if you plant for ten years in the past! I've never seen so much money! Hahahahaha! ”

Ma laughed endlessly as soon as she was happy, and Ma Changchang was worried that she would not be able to stop laughing and laugh away.

"Isn't this very good, oops, I knew that I also picked up the wasteland to farm, but unfortunately my family didn't say that it was good to raise sheep, and the ten acres of land were used to grow grass to feed the sheep."

"Won't your sheep be able to sell meat next year?"

"Whew! We don't know how to raise sheep, and then the official of Sinong Temple came to tell us that if one acre of land is enough to raise at least five sheep, we will take ten acres of wasteland to raise sheep, and only raise a total of fifteen. ”

"Ouch, this damn Sinong Temple, why didn't I tell you earlier? This is really a big loss, and I could have raised fifty heads. ”

Ma Changyuan, who was on the side of the "......", was suddenly scolded inexplicably, he couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know what to say to defend himself.

"Oh, you can't scold, you can't scold, the people from the Department of Agriculture actually came to tell me a few months ago, it's not that my family doesn't have so much money to buy sheep seedlings, I can only buy fifty sheep seedlings after selling this stubble of sheep, it has nothing to do with them, I only have so much money in hand, hehe, it's only enough to buy fifteen sheep seedlings."

"How much can you sell fifteen of them, have you calculated?" Ma asked curiously.

"Of course, it's calculated, a sheep can produce 200 catties of meat! If you sell it yourself, you can sell it for 50 yuan a catty, but it's so troublesome, we don't know when to sell it, if you sell it to the Agricultural Department, you can only sell it for 25 yuan a catty, but this is a lot. ”

"Fifteen sheep can be sold for at least 80,000 yuan, which is a little less than farming, but raising more sheep in the coming year will earn more than farming."

"Well, if you raise fifty sheep on ten acres of land, how much is that, I will calculate ......."

"Hehe, fifty sheep, that's 10,000 catties, that's 250,000 money, hehe."

"Shhh Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?! If you plant ten acres of rice, you can only sell it for 50,000 yuan at most! Raising sheep actually earns so much?! ”

"No! I have to raise sheep for the coming year! How much is a sheep seedling? ”

Unconsciously, Ma Changchang became the groom who sent the two ladies home, and the two ladies chatted enthusiastically, and directly forgot about him.

Even the matter of giving him eggs was forgotten to the clouds, after arriving at the door of their own house, the two of them were still chatting so hotly, as soon as they arrived at the door of the house, they jumped out of the carriage, and did not even think of saying hello to Ma Changchang, they hooked each other's arms into the door, and closed the door with a bang.

Ma Changchang couldn't cry or laugh, but he was very happy in his heart, turned the horse's head, and headed towards Chang'an again.

……

In Le'an County, the deputy general who was left behind by Liang Dong arranged his subordinates almost day and night to fill the black water gushing up from the opened black water well into a solid and sealed wooden barrel.

Months passed, and there was no news from Beijing, which meant that they would continue to be busy with the matter until another decree came from the DPRK and China.

"General! The DPRK-China decree is coming! ”

The deputy general almost thought that he was going to be in Le'an County, and when he was busy with the matter of Heishui until he was old, the governor finally sent the decree from the central government.

The adjutant general took over the matter, opened it and saw that the anticipation on his face was like a flame being extinguished—

Jingzhong ordered him to continue to garrison the black water barrel in this place, but to escort a hundred barrels to the Zhuzhu Prison in Jingzhong, and the Zhuzhu Prison was necessary.

And in Chang'an's Zhuzhu Prison, Yuwen Shihong has been here for several days.

He didn't give any orders, but he was in the casting prison and watched the craftsmen and laborers busy.

Actually, he was pondering something......

I don't know if I should do it or not.

And that's—

Incendiary bombs.

And the reason for the hesitation is also very simple -

The incendiary bomb is an extremely cruel thermal weapon, once the human body is adhered to the incendiary bomb, not only can it not be extinguished, but the place where the flame touches will also be ignited instantly.

Until the fuel is completely burned out.

And the human body that is stuck to the incendiary bomb will also be reduced to a kind of fuel.
