184 thousand merchant cans and ten thousand people's grain

The Xu family's wedding banquet invited An Chuxia, an official who was about to be promoted, and most of the wealthy businessmen and big landowners in Wei County also came to participate.

They came over one after another to pay homage to him, and turned Weixian County from a poverty, where the people were hungry, lacked food and clothing, had a lonely literary style, and all industries were in a downturn.

In just three years, such a small barren county town in the north was governed into a small county town in the north with abundant food and clothing, a boom in commerce, and abundant tax revenues, and a academy was opened next to the county school for young children to study for three years for free.

Let Wei County become one of the most prosperous county towns in northern Hebei, and everything An Chuxia did made these rich businessmen and landlords sincerely admire.

An Chuxia was also happy today, they came over to toast, and she also drank with a smile.

In the end, even though senior brother Wang Libin helped block some wine, An Chuxia still drank a little too much.

An Chuxia, who was bumped by the carriage on the way back, lifted the window to breathe, and An Jinchen glared at her angrily when she saw her sister like this.

An Chuxia smiled at An Jinchen with drunken eyes, "I'm going to leave here, and when I see that they are sincerely coming to toast, I will drink a few more glasses, brother, don't be angry." ”

An Jinchen wasn't really angry, but she was worried that she would hurt herself by drinking, so she nagged her a few words.

Looking at the more stable and majestic momentum on her sister's body, An Jinchen was a little distressed, and she didn't know if she wanted her wholeheartedly and took the road of official career.

At this time, the carriage stopped suddenly, An Jinchen reached out in time to support An Chuxia, who was about to fall, and then asked with some displeasure: "What happened outside?" ”

Before Da Zhuang who was driving the car could speak, he heard a terrible scream: "Adults save me, someone forced Liang to become a prostitute!" ”

"Stinky girl, what are you yelling about, but you saw that something happened to the rich businessman, so let Lao Tzu take you away. Now that you have become Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter who you call to save your life. ”

"You bastard, take advantage of people's danger and take me out as a tool to make money, I am a maid next to the county magistrate, and the lord will not spare you."

Just when the two were arguing, a faint voice came from the carriage: "Da Zhuang go, if anyone dares to stop him again, he will let the nearby officials be arrested and locked up in prison by colliding with the official." ”

"My lord, I'm Liu Xue! I have served you, my lord......"

Her hair was a little scattered because of the struggle, and Liu Xiang, who was painted with heavy makeup on her face, tried to pounce on the carriage to stop it, but was pulled by a man with a fierce face, watching her familiar carriage drive out of sight.

From the beginning of the cry for help, it finally turned into a curse and abuse, resenting An Chuxia for being ruthless and not saving him when he saw death.

The man was impatient and slapped her hard in the face, and Liu Xue shrank in fear and was forcibly pulled away by the man.

An Chuxia sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and no one will bear the consequences for you in the world, what cause you plant and what fruit you get.

Liu Xue's matter was like a flash in the pan, and it didn't stir up any splash.

This day was the day when An Chuxia left Wei County and went directly to Jiangzhou Mansion to take office, or among the people taken away by the three carriages, there was one more Wei Yuncheng who resigned from the post of head catcher.

In the early morning, Wang Libin and the people in the county yali, Bai Yunduo brought the students who had been taught in the early summer of Anchu in the past few years to see each other off.

"Senior brother, take care all the way, and remember to write a letter to report safety." Wang Libin said with slightly red eyes.

An Chuxia smiled and nodded, and there was a flash of water in his eyes: "Senior brother should also take care, I hope that one day, our senior brothers and sisters can still get together." ”

Wang Libin's eyes turned even redder, choked and couldn't speak, nodded and hummed softly.

"My lord, you just left, where can I find someone with such good knowledge in the future and give a lecture to the students in the county school!" Bai Yunduo said with tears in his eyes.

"Yes! Sir, we are all your students, and you are our mentor at all times. ”

The students taught by An Chuxia in the past three years all looked at her with gratitude, and their reluctance was overflowing.

"Thank you, sir, for giving the students a place to stay." Lin Xiucai, who was released from prison by An Chuxia, said.

"Lin Xundao doesn't have to take it to heart, just teach and educate people in the future."

"Remember, students!"

An Chuxia walked out of the back alley of Yamen with the people who saw her off, came to the street, and saw that the streets were full of people on both sides, some of them were rich businessmen with heads and faces in Wei County, as well as ordinary people and hawkers in the city.

They knelt down one after another to salute An Chuxia, and An Chuxia spread his hands and gestured to hold up: "Everyone don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

At this time, a wealthy merchant came out of the crowd, holding a brand-new white porcelain jar in his hand, and handed it to An Chuxia: "My lord, please accept a thousand merchant jars, thank you for your contribution to the prosperity of Wei County." ”

An Chuxia didn't understand what this meant, but seeing that it was an ordinary white porcelain jar, she took it.

What An Chuxia didn't expect was that as soon as she took the jar, there were vendors of all sizes who threw copper coins into the jars, no more and no less, and only one copper coin per person.

An Chuxia looked at everyone inexplicably, Wei Yunfeng stood behind her and said: "Your Excellency, don't be confused, this is on behalf of the vendors to express their gratitude and recognition to your adults for their achievements in the prosperity here." ”

Looking at the more and more spacious streets that have been built in the past three years, and the luxurious shops on both sides, An Chuxia is holding the porcelain jar steadily, which is a penny per person, she can still afford it.

Even the street vendors who walked down this way were gratefully thrown into a copper plate because An Chuxia built a morning market for them to shelter from the wind and rain, so as not to suffer from the wind and rain.

Walking through the shop, the jar in An Chuxia's hand was already filled, and An Jinchen took it from his sister and held it in his arms.

An Chuxia arched his hand like the vendors standing behind him, and said in a loud voice: "This official is not talented, thank you." ”

"My lord, you deserve it, take care all the way!" Vendors large and small gave them away.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the city gate, at this time, standing in the two rows of people on the street, a gray-haired old man came out, and he handed An Chuxia a colorful cloth bag with both hands.

"This sack of grain was sewn by our people for adults, and it contains the merits of adults."

An Chuxia took the cloth bag with both hands, but she didn't see the merit of "......", so she carried a colorful empty bag in her hand.

"Thank you, old staff!"

An Chuxia turned around, put his hands together and followed behind him, and all the people and vendors said goodbye.

"Thank you for sending us."

"My lord, I will cherish all the way." All the people knelt on the ground and sent each other off.

An Chuxia's eyes were slightly hot, she put her hands on her head, bowed deeply to everyone, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

When there were villagers standing on the side of the road along the way, each holding a handful of grain in their hands, An Chuxia knew why the grain bag sent by the old cane was called the merit bag.

It turns out that the highest praise given by the people here to the officials is not the umbrella of the people, but if the businessman agrees with you, he will give you a thousand merchant jars, and if he gets the recognition and gratitude of the people, he will give you a bag of merit of grains and grains.

On the way from northern Hebei, the grain bag sent by the old cane had already been filled, because not only the people of Wei County were on the way.

As long as someone learns that the county official who brought high-yield grain into northern Hebei for planting passes by, the people who receive this favor will send a handful of grain to the people.
