"Hanhan, you go and light the lamp, let's talk to the ancestors." The chief took Han Han to the ancestral hall and asked Han Han to light an oil lamp.

According to the tradition of Xiaqiu Village, the ancestral hall follows the people of the village.

Zhu Wentian went over to light the oil lamp first, then put on three pillars of incense, knelt down and kowtowed, which was to invite the ancestors of Xiaqiu Village back.

Other people from Xiaqiu Village stepped forward to kowtow, and everyone believed this.

The last lieutenant knelt down: "Actually, it's nothing, Your Majesty is coming to the village again, it is estimated that you will have to stay for a few days, bring the ancestors over, rest assured, we won't cry today, wait for the New Year."

Hanhan, do you still say a few words? Forget it, you have a hard time talking, and the ancestors don't like to listen, so you ......"

'Click~~'There was a sudden thunderclap in the sky outside, and it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"You~~just~~say~~two~~~sentence~~~uh~~~" The long voice was trembling.

Zhu Wentian: "......"

He wanted to explain to the lieutenant how the thunderbolt came from on a sunny day, when it was a sunny day, and there was a cloud next to it, and the current on the cloud ran out horizontally, and then fell again.

He stepped forward and didn't kneel: "The chief doesn't mean anything else, you can have another dry day thunder, and our village people will testify." Actually......"

'Click~~~' Another thunderclap came.

"Actually, that's it, let's go! To kill a sheep, you have to cook it quickly, otherwise there will be no sheep soup to drink. Zhu Wentian didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Hanhan, when I talked to you before, did you make you unhappy?" The governor was scared.

"No, kill the sheep! Take the blood of the sheep and go! What's the matter? Did you spank me when you came back with me? Zhu Wentian was puzzled.

"No, nothing, let's go, let's go! Are you staying here at night? "The lieutenant is really afraid.

"Hmmm! I guard the shrine, and there is a lamp in the mountain temple, and now there is no shortage of oil. ”

"There are lights lit all the time, not here, because we can't double the ancestral halls, when we go to Helin, they didn't worship their ancestors during the New Year, all the ancestral halls are dark, this year will be fine, where are you, where are you lit."

Everyone came out, the door of the ancestral hall was open, facing the patio, if there was a moon at night, the moonlight would shine down from the patio, and generally only Zhu Wentian could sleep soundly.

Otherwise, the moonlight from the patio and the oil light in the ancestral hall are combined, and the surrounding houses are dark and empty, and the tablet in front of the ancestral hall is ......

This hall is a large courtyard with five entrances, and there are two floors on it, and it echoes when a person speaks at night.

……

Feng Gui, the head of Xihe Village, saw that he had killed the sheep and immediately sent someone back to collect the sheep, because he was afraid that there would not be enough sheep in Xiaqiu Village.

The other two villages that are close to each other are also asked to go back, and everyone has raised a lot of sheep, and now they bring them to eat, and they don't feel distressed at all.

The other village chiefs told the three nearby villages to take more, and they went back to compensate for it, and everyone shared it equally.

Xiaqiu Village didn't refuse, and always didn't let others pay, which would be a big enmity.

However, it is easy to have problems with the giving and taking, including rushing to settle the bill for dinner.

Normally, it should be whoever wants to tie the knot, and please come back next time.

"Beautiful, Daming Jiangshan!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the highest place and sighed, it is the location of the mountain temple in Xiaqiu Village, which is the highest here.

In front of him, there was a mixture of gold and yellow and green, soybeans in the golden place, and indica, japonica rice and jute in the other place.

The sheep also came, and they were pulled by carts, and the sheep would be messy when they ran on their own.

"Feng Gui, are there many sheep in the village?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and asked Feng Laosi.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are many, big animals are not easy to buy, so the village began to buy more lambs and ewes, soybean straw and silage, just to feed the sheep.

Now the family property of the people in Xihe Village has increased more than 100 times, and it is the same as Xiaqiu Village, with a two-story building and a brick and concrete structure.

There is no water supply, and the sewage treatment plant needs to be built, so everyone said that they would discuss with Xiaqiu Village next year, and the money saved this year will be used. ”

Feng Gui replied and said that there were ideas in the village, and they would do it according to Xiaqiu Village.

"Do it this year! You can owe the money first, install the boiler for you, and then connect the heating, and it will be warm in winter, so you don't need to burn the kang. ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard the other party's words, what about a year in advance? There is no money at the moment, pay it back slowly, and the village has the ability to repay.

As soon as he agreed, all 21 villages went to the chief to discuss the matter, and if the money was not enough, he could pay it back with interest.

The villagers had no other consumption, and the chief didn't dare to agree for a while, telling everyone that in two days, there was no hurry.

……

After a busy time, at two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone drank the mutton soup.

At the wharf, sheep soup was also sold, selling at cost price plus 10 percent profit, and the ships that came and went looked at the price and were tempted to pay for it, but there was no pepper, only pepper powder.

"We want to see the real situation of the people again, and we are willing to see the truth here, and there is no surprise to drink a sheep soup."

Zhu Yuanzhang talked to Queen Ma, and the other palace ladies and children went to the place where the female dependents and children of Xiaqiu Village next to them were to eat, with the exception of Queen Ma and Sun Guifei.

Sun Guifei is a status obtained by her appearance, but she can't dominate the entire harem, she also has the ability, but the ability can be cultivated, unless she is too stupid.

"There are twenty-two villages in Xuancheng County, not counting Xiaqiu Village, and the twenty-one villages are all rich, and it is normal to drink sheep soup.

The soldiers in the team we brought with us all went to the northland and came back, where the pastoral area was a pastoral area, and the sheep were not worth as much as the cucumbers in winter.

The other craftsmen also went to the Northland, and in the end, the people in the palace, who else is missing a mouthful of mutton soup?

The officials of the six counties in one prefecture are rich! Do you have to see what the people in the poor places do? ”

Queen Ma understands her man's thoughts, here is a few years ago, who is not poor? Including officials.

"It's almost the same in Taiping Mansion, right? Let's go to Taiping Mansion when we go back? Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had an idea.

"Ready officials?" Queen Ma asked.

"Let's look at the people first, the people are doing well, and the rest is easy to say. Let's all rush up in the fight for life and death, and we are afraid that we will not dare to clean up when we see officials make mistakes? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked indifferent, he had heard that the officials of the Taiping Mansion also took advantage.

Fishing for benefits is for profit, the people's life is not good, they should be killed, and they can't get used to it.

Sun Guifei pondered for a while: "Your Majesty, it's better to let out the rumors first, and let the officials take out the money they have made, after all, they are familiar with the local situation, otherwise they will not be able to make money." ”

"No, what we give them is theirs, and if we don't give it, they can't reach out, if something really goes wrong, we will send them and their families to the mine."

Zhu Yuanzhang is uncompromising, the rules must be maintained first, otherwise it will be over.

If there is a situation of greed, it is different from the previous Xuancheng County officials who went to Xiaqiu Village, which is all for food.

Now if you are greedy, you are not greedy for food, you are guaranteed to be money.

"We'll talk about it then." Queen Ma is reluctant to say more on this topic, now is a happy time.

"That's right, let's have a water belly, this thing is said to be not nutritious to eat, I prefer to eat, now it's expensive, it's all made by Xiaqiu Village."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the table in front of him and asked for food.
