Mei Berry and Yao Fei have been discussing the matter of settling down Chu Ruqian and throwing two hundred people to themselves before leaving.

Originally, it was not so troublesome, Yao Fei meant that more than 200 people would set aside a separate village, reduce or exempt taxes, and convince people's hearts.

But at the same time, we must not relax our surveillance of them, just in case.

And Plum Berry can send them to the event individually, and the person who was in Plum Berry's heart before can be pulled out.

The plum berries in front of them don't have any opinions, but the plum berries in the back want to take advantage of this matter to make something different.

"Xiangjun said that the examination selects talents? Does the townsman want to take the imperial examination? ”

"What kind of imperial examination is there here." Mei Berry waved his hand and said, "We don't take the Four Books and Five Classics or anything, we only recruit some grassroots public ...... Ah, little official. We want people who really work for the people, you know? ”

Yao Fei: ......

Yao Fei felt that Mei Berry was secretly mocking those who had entered the imperial examination, but there were no useful talents.

But Yao Fei didn't dare to say this, even if he felt in his heart that Mei Berry did make sense to say this.

"Mr. Zhou, let's ...... We're safe, aren't we? ”

On the official road from Linyun to Fengning County, more than a dozen officers and soldiers drove more than 200 unkempt refugees and continued to advance against the sun.

Among the refugees, surrounded by several strong men, there was a man with a thin face and a scar on his forehead.

Zhou Ziyao heard the worried words of the people on the side, and then nodded:

"Earlier, they said that we were going to be moved to Fengning County and settle down there."

Zhou Ziyao looked up at the officials on the side, and saw that their faces were detached and indifferent, but they did not have the tyrannical and vicious faces they had seen before, so he immediately had a good judgment on the situation of Xianyao and Yunzhou.

"Wouldn't that place be very bad, otherwise how would it take us in...... It can't be like exile, right? ”

Someone else asked these words as well.

"Xianyao is not as rich as Yunzhou, and it is not possible to say how good the environment is, but along the way, didn't everyone see that the people in those villages on both sides of the road were busy planting in spring?"

No chaos, no oppression.

It's just that they are doing very ordinary things for the common people according to the season.

But despite this, these seemingly ordinary pictures of spring planting are busy that everyone who has not planted well for several years looks a little dazed at that time.

"yes, it's better to be able to farm and eat than anything else."

The old man was chattering on the side, and Zhou Ziyao heard that there was nothing to do with himself, so he didn't say anything more.

It's just one thing that worries him—

Xianyao seems to belong to a certain force here.

A force that did not belong to the imperial court or to the king of Wei.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

Everything that worried Zhou Ziyao went to the place where they were settled, but there was no result.

When everyone looked at the land that had been allocated to them to build a village on the upper reaches of the river, they were also stunned.

There were only two lonely houses here, and they first looked inside the house under the leadership of the little officials sent by Fengning County to pick them up.

Inside were food and seeds that had been temporarily distributed to them.

As for everything else, it's really all over again.

Even the servants who came with him brought them a map of the construction of the village.

The people present handed over the drawings to Zhou Ziyao by default, and Zhou Ziyao looked at the village planning drawings on it and had to say that Feng Ning had prepared very well in advance.

Talent!

Zhou Ziyao stared at the drawings and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In addition to sighing in his heart, Tianya, who was sent out to work by Meiberry for the first time, was also staring at the people around her with a nervous expression at the moment, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone did not show too much dissatisfaction.

This was the first time that Plum Berry had given her something to do alone.

Although she still has two little officials who look very majestic, Tianya also tries hard to force herself to become very imposing.

Sweetie wears men's clothes that are easy to move around, but the earrings on her forehead and ears are clearly a woman.

Before, everyone thought that the girl from the official family's family brought it out to let off steam, but when they finally said something, they found that it seemed that the real decision here was actually the girl in front of them?

"Really, really, there are no taxes?"

When Tianya announced the news in person, the people around her blew up directly.

When they heard the news, everyone's eyes were about to pop out.

Even Zhou Ziyao almost broke his beard when he heard it!

They know everything about the outside world.

Even if there are only more than 200 of them, if someone continues to come here in the future, then it will naturally be difficult to change it when there is a precedent.

"Little lady, you can't talk nonsense! Do the adults in your family know that you are talking such nonsense? ”

It's a bit of a joke for such an important news to be told by a young woman now.

"Of course I'm not talking nonsense! Naturally, I came to announce it on behalf of Lord Yao and our townspeople. When the household is divided, and you receive the title deed of household registration, you will naturally be able to confirm it. ”

Tianya was looked at by everyone's questioning eyes, and the heart in her chest was pounding, but she still thought in her heart that she was representing plum berries.

In case she loses her ugliness, she is not alone!

"Ahem. There is no tax, but you come here with no money. The house, grain, and seeds in the early stage are all borrowed from our county government, and the loan is five to repay one, which can be repaid in three years.

Silver, grain, and cloth could be used to repay it. ”

Tianya continued, her eyes swept over everyone, and seeing that these words did not cause them to be unhappy, the timidity in her heart that had just been questioned gradually dissipated.

As long as they repay two percent of the profits in three years, the average share is simply a few points lower than the annual tax, what else are they unhappy about?

Everyone else began to talk about the future, but Zhou Ziyao always kept his eyes on Tianya.

The situation led by the woman, although it is small here, but this situation still can't help but make him think of the Queen Mother.

Although he has been away from the court for many years, he has also heard of some absurd things after the death of the first emperor and the regency of the queen mother.

Xianyao here, could it be the force secretly supported by the Queen Mother herself?

·

Tianya, who came back from a busy day in the new village, was warmly welcomed by the plum berry people.

Tianya was embarrassed to drink the water that Yin Jiu handed her, and her face was red with shame.

"Just now I heard the little official who sent Tianya back say that Tianya is doing well today~"

After Yin Jiuyi finished speaking, Tianya's face was as red as a ripe apple.

"It's okay, they're not a bad guy...... It's going well. ”

"Poof~" Mei Berry was so happy by the sweet description, "It's still Diao Min, the people I photographed you are not vegetarians." ”

Seeing that everyone was curious about Tianya's going out alone today, Mei Berry was happy to see it, and watched the development of things with a smile with tea.

After drinking a cup of tea for a long time, Mei Berry suddenly threw out the results he had made for many days:

"Ahem, after the spring planting is over, the grassroots officials selected by the county or something, if you are interested, you can go to that exam."

After saying this, Plum Berry startled everyone.

"Female, female, okay?"

Yin Jiu's heart jumped, and the next moment he wanted to worry about what his master would think of such a bold approach to Mei Berry.

She was worried about it, when she heard Plum Berry nod again: "Yes, women can too." At that time, each type of official will be conditionally required, rest assured~"

In the past few days, Mei Berry has written a thick letter back about their shipbuilding, and she has also sorted out a thick booklet and handed it back about the methods and selection criteria for the new selection of small officials.

Always, a spark can start a prairie fire. (End of chapter)
