"Oh, my young master, alas, I heard Mr. Chen say that you met a strong man on the road, if something happens, how should I explain it to your father!" Fu Bo put down the woodcutter in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward.

He is used to hard work, even though there are many more people in the hospital now, but he still insists on doing it himself.

The old man touched Zhou Bai's body left and right, looking very excited.

From February 20 to the county town on the eighth day of March today, he was away from home for more than half a month, which made Fu Bo, who had always taken Zhou Bai with him, not worried.

"Fauber, see, I'm in good health. And now that I am a scholar of the imperial court, I am lucky, and I am not so prone to accidents. Zhou Bai was very cooperative, and turned around to let the old man inspect it, and said comfortingly.

Regarding the events of that night, everyone had a tacit understanding, whether it was Zhou Bai, Chen Zhongbang and others, or the county government and county government, everyone did not say that it was a domestic struggle in Jin.

Ji Hongzhe was afraid that Zhou Bai would be young and ignorant, so he clicked.

You Jin domestic fighting actually ran to Daxu's territory, not to mention how you came here, just say that the matter of hurting Daxu's innocent people, if the outside world knows, it will not end well.

It is because the government at all levels, before the edict is issued, requires the people in the know to maintain a unified voice, it is the bandits and robbers who rob the caravan, and they are not allowed to mention anything Yinshan Houti.

After carefully checking that Zhou Bai was safe, Fu Bo reminded in a low voice: "I said young master, Mr. Chen is a good one, but he may have suffered a little grievance in the past two days. ”

"Zhou Yuan, come here, do you know Mr. Chen? Where is he now? Zhou Bai nodded and called Zhou Yuan at the door.

"Young Master Bai, I know, Mr. Chen Zhongbang was busy when he just arrived here yesterday, and now he should be in your field." Zhou Yuan replied.

"Do you want me to call him?"

"No, I'll go myself."

……

The north does not prohibit private horses, as long as you don't train a large group of cavalry, it is normal for a family like Zhou Bai to raise some horses.

No matter how delicate and troublesome horse raising is, Zhou Bai's current status is also a horse to ride, and within a moment he left the core area of the family and came to his own field.

Unlike in February, when it was dry and colorless, the fields are now green and green, and the thriving seedlings cover all 300 acres.

Looking from afar, a trace of white gas gradually emerged from the ground, and it was obvious that this field would have a bumper harvest in the future.

Three hundred acres away, two newly opened canals, one on the left and one on the right, are very spacious, and there are several farmers working on the state beach where the streams are crisscrossed, and Chen Zhongbang is among them.

Zhou Bai leaned over, it turned out that Chen Zhongbang was talking to the old man Wang Liangtian, and the one who was busy digging pits and planting seedlings in the field should be the descendants of the family he mentioned.

"Lord, owner." Zhou Bai did not avoid people, Chen Zhongbang and Wang Liangtian stepped across the canal to meet them as soon as they saw it.

"Sir."

"Old Wang Tou did a good job, I didn't believe the wrong person." Zhou Bai motioned to Chen Zhongbang to wait and communicate with Wang Liangtian first.

"I haven't congratulated Young Master Bai on the head of high school, it's my blessing that the old man can farm for you."

"According to your orders, two canals have been dug, and now it is not a problem to cover a thousand acres."

"There are also 30 acres of land on the state beach, and I am afraid of delaying the spring, so I will let the next few posteriors at home replant seedlings, and then continue to open the field when they are idle." Wang Liangtian pointed to the canal and Xintian, looking quite proud, and there was nothing wrong with the owner's explanation.

Seeing him staring at himself, Zhou Bai smiled happily and said: "I have written down your merits, so that the thirty acres of new land will be your private land first, and then you remember to open three hundred acres of public land and return it to me." ”

"Also, the clan is going to fund me to build a manor, I decided to put it around here, and you can choose a few good places to report to Mr. Chen."

Wang Liangtian was ecstatic and said: "Thank you to the owner, thank you to the owner, I will make persistent efforts, do not forget your kindness, I will discuss the location of the manor with Mr. Chen in the past few days." ”

This is 30 acres of paddy field, and with the blessing of the Zhou family, the government does not dare to raise taxes at will, and there can be a surplus after feeding the family.

The key is the manor, if you build it here, who else can the manor steward? As long as he does his best in the future, the owner will definitely choose him.

After thanking him, Wang Liangtian walked to the side with great insight, not seeing that Zhou Bai and Chen Zhongbang had something to say.

"Sir has been wronged." When people went away, Zhou Bai said to Chen Zhongbang with some shame.

Before he came, Zhou Yuan had already told him that there were many people in the family who wanted to cling to Zhou Bai in the past two days, and they thought that Chen Zhongbang was not qualified to be the guest of the young master of Xiucai, so there were many private slanderous and slanderous words.

Zhou Chang also heard rumors, half ridiculing and half tempting, and wanted Chen Zhongbang to play music to welcome Zhou Bai.

"The loyal state didn't dare, and he didn't take it to heart, he didn't make an inch, and he became a member of the Gongzi's staff, and there was nothing wrong with it in the clan." Chen Zhongbang's expression was as usual, as if he really didn't take it to heart.

"How useless, no one can do better than you that night, please accept my worship." Zhou Bai shook his head and said, then bent down and bowed.

Chen Zhongbang didn't care about any ridicule before, but his respect for the lord was extremely moving, and he hurriedly bent down to salute.

Zhou Bai held Chen Zhongbang's hand tightly and said, "I invited you out of the mountain, how can you be unjust." In the future, you can not listen to the orders of the clan, I decided to set up an inner house in the group hall, and you are the chief guest secretary of the inner house, in charge of the affairs of the inner house. ”

"No need to postpone, does Sir want me to be unavailable?"

Chen Zhongbang's lips squirmed a few times, he was speechless, and accepted the appointment, which trusted him how to repay.

"Can the lord show the structure of the inner government next?" Chen Zhongbang's face was straight, and he quickly entered the role.

Zhou Bai pondered for a moment and replied: "Well, the structure of the internal government is first divided into the Yingtian Hall and the Yanwu Hall, and the Yingtian Hall governs all civil affairs. The Exercise Hall is responsible for military affairs, and I am in charge of it for the time being. ”

"That's okay, avoid the name of the official, and subdivide it when the time is ripe."

"But dare to ask the lord, can the inner government start to fill up the manpower now?" Chen Zhongbang very much agreed with Zhou Bai's decision and also raised his own questions.

"You can look for follow-up manpower slowly, but Zhong Wei and Yan Lie were recruited before I was admitted to Xiucai, you can be reused as deputies, and tomorrow I will ask Zhou Yuan to send someone to call them over."

"Also, there is a lack of materials for the establishment of the Inner Government, you can apply to the patriarch in the early stage, which is allowed by him." Zhou Bai explained one by one.

Chen Zhongbang nodded, and said resolutely: "Then the lord, I will go and arrange the preparations, your yard can't accommodate too many people, I'll go find a few suitable houses first." ”

Looking at the departing Chen Zhongbang, Zhou Bai had more thoughts about the future arrangements, the internal government structure was about to be set up, and the combat power had to keep up.

Army building, as well as the cultivation of extraordinary seeds.
