Chapter 115: The Elder of the Fishing Village
"What does Mr. Hua think?" Deng Aihou turned to another person, this person was crowned with a broad belt, five locks of long hair, and looked like a scholar.
Hua Zongdai is the chief military advisor of the Iwakura Palace. The Iwakura Hall does not have the position of deputy hall master, and the chief military advisor is actually equivalent to the deputy hall master, and is the second person after Deng Aihou.
Hua Zongdai shook the folding fan in his hand and muttered: "What the little boy said is not advisable. I didn't think that the little boy was still too murderous, and when he was transporting the treasure before, the little boy proposed to hire a group of outsiders to be coachmen, and kill all of them afterwards. However, there are a large number of coachmen, and it is necessary to have a large number of people to monitor them before they can be lured to the suburbs to be rounded up, so it is better for us to act more carefully as the coachmen themselves. At that time, the hall master also adopted Bucai's opinion. Now that the matter of thanking for clothes and offering treasures, all the high-level disciples in the hall know about it, and if they kill him again, it will also make the worshippers in the hall feel cold. ”
Deng Aihou said: "Mr. Hua is right, don't think about killing people as a last resort. One is that after we wait for a famous family, we should have a basic heart of benevolence and righteousness. Second, it is easy to extinguish the mouth, but it is difficult to have an impermeable wall in the world......"
Deng Sanshi was young and vigorous, and was reprimanded by Hua Zongdai and his father, and he couldn't help but feel unconvinced on his face, but he didn't dare to speak again.
Hua Zongdai said: "Then thank you for your little friend, what you are asking for is a fief?"
Deng Aihou said: "Yes." ”
Hua Zongdai said: "But it is true that as the little prince said, that Xie Yi has no wisdom, and it is not appropriate to award the position of military advisor." You can give an idle job first, seal one or two villages, and if you show excellent intelligence in the future, it is not too late to reuse it. ”
As soon as Hua Zongdai said this, most of the people in the hall showed a look of approval.
Deng Aihou asked the opinions of several powerful figures in the Iwakura Palace, and said, "Then it's decided, and the position of deputy pavilion master of the Drawing Pavilion will be awarded to the little brother Xie Yi." Tang Jia, the original lord of Panlong Village, died in a village brawl and had no heirs, so I sealed that Panlong Village to Little Brother Xie. ”
During the whole process, he didn't ask his father Deng Rong what he meant.
The next day, Wu Feng, who was waiting in the longhouse, received his letter of appointment.
In the past few days, he has nothing to do in the house, and he has already purchased all kinds of daily necessities for the house where Yun Hailan lives.
The letter of appointment was sent by Hua Zongdai in person, along with the sealed documents of Panlong Village.
Hua Zongdai patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou works hard, but the hall master values you very much." ”
Wu Feng also smiled and replied, of course.
It's just that this drawing pavilion, you don't need to ask to know that it is a half-dead Qingshui Yamen, and he has just arrived, even if Deng Aihou values it, but the real power figures in the palace will never let Wu Feng suddenly occupy an important position.
When I asked, it turned out to be true. The Mapping Pavilion is a branch of the Land Museum, which is responsible for measuring the land, and is responsible for surveying and mapping maps.
The work of the Tiantu Pavilion involves the amount of taxes paid by the common people, so there is a lot of oil and water, and the drawing pavilion is a real cold yamen, and the pavilion owner also brings a sub-word, which is even more idle with no sense of existence.
That's why Deng Aihou let his deputy Hua Zongdai
Wu Feng followed Hua Zongdai to his new residence.
Space is limited in the bunker, and most people work in the living area. The Drawing Pavilion is a three-storey pavilion at the rear of the castle, with the first and second floors for staff and the third floor for offices.
The clerks below had to run around most of the time, so the office area seemed extremely empty, and only the pavilion master was sipping tea while looking at a pile of sketches sent by the people below.
A good-looking clerk placed a few sketches on the man's desk, and with her pink fist, she meekly smacked the back of the master of the drawing pavilion. Looking at the comfortable appearance of the pavilion master, if it weren't for Hua Zongdai and Wu Feng just coming in, I am afraid that they would have to hold the woman in their arms and work while getting their hands up and down.
Iwakura Hall, a famous family that has been inherited for thousands of years, will inevitably have serious **. It is precisely because of ** that it will continue to decline, and it will be oppressed by the rise and oppression of the former branch sect gods, encroaching on the territory.
"Ahem, Pavilion Master Deng Hengyi...... This is our new Deputy Pavilion Master, Mr. Xie!" Hua Zongdai finally couldn't help it and reminded him.
Deng Hengyi is a member of the side branch of the Deng family, and the Drawing Pavilion is a half-dead department, and it is difficult to perform well, so if he acts like this, Hua Zongdai can't blame him too much.
If you are not a person with no ability, how can you be put into this kind of department for the elderly?
Deng Hengyi yawned, and then stood up, informality is very so-called celebrity style, but unfortunately he forgot that this is office time. First-class celebrities, when they are in the office, they are generally not like this, and they travel with prostitutes on weekdays at will, but they must do their jobs well at work, and they should not be passive and slack off.
Hua Zongdai introduced the two to each other, assigned an office area for Wu Feng, and explained his work tasks and responsibilities.
As Wu Feng, he can also ask for a maid like Deng Hengyi to help him deal with document affairs, take care of his daily life after work, and even ask the other party to be bed.
But Wu Feng refused very calmly, saying that he was a person in the mountains and was used to taking care of himself.
Deng Hengyi looked lazy, and he was not surprised to see a thirteen-year-old child being sent as his deputy. Maybe this kind of person who eats and waits for death will have his heart die a long time ago.
Next, Hua Zongdai took Wu Feng downstairs to see his new residence.
It is still relatively small, not as small as Wu Feng's house in Forgotten Worry Valley, but it is much larger than the room in the previous longhouse, and the decoration inside is much more exquisite. After all, the space in this Iwakura Castle is really limited.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Xie, your fief is on the side of the Yellow River, not far from Iwakura City. I'll be fine today, so I'll take you over again. Hua Zongdai said.
His title for Wu Feng has changed from a small friend to a formal job title.
Wu Feng smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude.
The two of them were descending the stairs when they heard a low panting. Hua Zongdai shook his head and sighed, his face showing disgust.
Hua Zongdai and Wu Feng walked out of Iwakura Castle together and headed east along the banks of the Yellow River.
At the foot of a hill, a small tributary flows into the Yellow River, and Panlong is a small fishing village located at the confluence of two water veins.
Hua Zongdai said: "This village has 200 households and more than 800 people, and it is a big village. Every year, the taxes in the village are paid to Guanzhong, and 30% are paid to the palace, and the rest is yours except for the salaries of the chief and Lizheng under your command. ”
The entire area under the control of Iwakura has a population of only more than 500,000, and Deng Aihou can be regarded as a good treatment for a village like Wu Feng.
Wu Feng was secretly happy in his heart, although he had never shown it in front of Hua Zongdai. After all, this is the first step for him to have his own power. In the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, except for the valley lord Xiao Yange, everyone else is just taking the moon and will never have their own territory.
It's just that...... His current identity is not the head of a fishing village?
