Chapter 17: Lu Ganglun
Mustard is common in the Daning Dynasty, but Dogwood said something else.
Although it is not a luxury like sugar, it is by no means a cheap commodity, and a pound of dogwood costs 12 yuan, which is twice the price of rice.
With Chen Xuan's current financial resources, he could not find the right amount of dogwood to improve the taste of Houttuynia cordata.
"At the end of the day, it's about money."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed.
In this homeless incident, at first, he just wanted to do what he could to help some of the homeless people, but in the end, these homeless people came to the door by themselves like sticky plasters, and the number gathered more and more, which was greatly beyond Chen Xuan's reach.
As a result, Chen Xuan was tossed one head and two big, and he was exhausted.
He's tired!
"Not everyone can be a living bodhisattva, and the price of being a living bodhisattva is not something I can bear."
Chen Xuan's thoughts were reached.
This matter, since it can't be done with his personal ability, it is better to find a helper.
He's found this helper!
"The title of this living bodhisattva can't belong to me alone, some people are more suitable for this title than me, and they are more capable of wearing this title." Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
"Tiezhu, tomorrow, bring a few more workers and follow me to a place."
"Remember, dress modestly, take the money and buy a few new clothes."
Chen Xuan sent someone, called the iron pillar, and handed him five hundred copper coins.
"Where are you going, to make it so grand?" After taking the iron pillar of half the money, seeing Chen Xuan's request with a straight face, he teased.
"County government!"
The two words that Chen Xuan said made Chen Xuan stay in place on the spot, shocked for a long time before he came back to his senses.
……
Chen Xuan, who was relaxed, fell asleep early.
This night, I only felt extremely safe and solid in sleeping, and when I woke up in a corner, I was already refreshed.
After a simple bowl of rice porridge and pickles, Chen Xuan took the workers of the six small workshops and put on new clothes.
When I learned that I was going to the county government, everyone's face was beaming with joy.
"Pick up two baskets." Chen Xuan pointed to the Houttuynia cordata that had been tightly covered on the ground.
At the end of the day, Chen Xuan had already come to the county government.
Looking at the two tall and mighty stone lions standing in front of him, under the eaves in front of the door, riding the high-walled courtyard with white walls and black tiles, Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
What an angry county government!
Chen Xuan couldn't help but be fascinated.
No wonder, in ancient times, there were such people who wanted to gain fame and become officials in the court, even if they couldn't go to the court, in a county, but a county official, it was also a great prestige.
"How many of you, but what grievances do you have to redress?" The head catcher on duty asked Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "We have no grievances. ”
"So what are you doing here?"
"This is Lord Lu's county government, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter!"
The head catcher on duty raised his eyebrows, scolded sternly, and rubbed the stick in his hand, wanting to drive people away.
"This poor man, if I have a reason to go in?"
Chen Xuan said solemnly.
……
The back room of the county government is the daily living and resting place of the county officials.
Lu Ganglun, who is the magistrate of the county, did not feel the slightest bit relaxed because of this place.
Everywhere, the fleeing of the homeless people and the papers, the papers of the plague, the papers of how many people starved to death, were sent to his desk like snowflakes, and he was exhausted.
In order to control the situation, there was originally only an early school and an evening school to deal with the finishing work of yesterday and summarize the day's work.
In addition, a lunch school was added to deal with unexpected affairs.
The personnel of the county government are busy every day, but even so, the situation is gradually getting out of control.
"When is this going to be a head?" Lu Ganglun, who was flipping through the official documents, rubbed his temples and sighed.
"Official, this is the golden pear soup I made for you, you can drink it while it's hot."
A beautiful woman with a gentle temperament walked with golden pear soup and lotus steps.
"Madame has a heart."
As soon as Lu Ganglun took a sip of golden pear soup and moistened his throat, Qiu Feng, the head catcher, came to say: "Lord Lu, there are a few tenants outside the county government who want to see you." ”
"Nope!"
Lu Ganglunton was bored.
He was already overwhelmed by the affairs of the homeless people, and where could he have time to see an insignificant tenant.
"However, the tenant said that he had a way to solve the problems of the adults." Qiu Feng said stubbornly.
"Hehe......"
"A tenant also dares to make a big statement, can help me solve problems, and give me a direct blow!"
Lu Ganglun couldn't help but laugh, with a sarcastic expression on his face.
"Wait!"
Seeing that Qiu Feng was about to bombard people, the beautiful woman smiled lightly: "I think that this tenant just said this kind of thing in the county government, it is not a big nonsense, maybe he really has the ability." ”
"It's better to see the husband, when the time comes, whether it is untargeted, you will naturally know."
"Then according to Madame."
Lu Ganglun complied with the beautiful woman's wish and smiled coldly.
His current anger is not ordinary, and those tenants are really untargeted, and he doesn't mind throwing them into a dungeon and imprisoning them for a few days.
……
"Come in!"
Qiu Feng stepped across the ring knife and walked sideways.
Chen Xuan and the others, who had received the promise, followed behind Qiu Feng, followed in steps, through a windswept corridor, and came to a side passage on the left side of the main house.
Here, it is a road specially for Chen Xuan, a person like Bai Ding, who was introduced by the magistrate.
"I'm here, and I've walked into the county government."
The iron pillar and the others behind Chen Xuan looked at everything in the county government curiously, and when they walked up to the side road, they were excited in their hearts, and they were inexplicably frightened.
This is a place they never dreamed of before.
The county official, don't look at it as a petty official in just a place, the highest is only seven or eight grades, but for the iron pillar, for Chen Xuan's predecessor, this kind of tenant who has been facing the loess for generations, he is the most noble person in this life!
In front of the main house at the rear.
Qiu Feng suddenly paused and looked back at Chen Xuan: "Before going in, I have to kindly remind you that you can say whatever you have to say, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" ”
These words frightened the iron pillars behind Chen Xuan, their bodies stiffened, and Nuo Nuo nodded.
Chen Xuan also nodded, but said with a calm expression: "Grass people Chen Xuan, thank you here for the advice." ”
"Do it yourself."
Seeing Chen Xuan, there was no sense of awe, Qiu Feng thought that Chen Xuan had not listened to his words, and his face sank slightly.
Chen Xuan strode and walked in.
Inside the main room.
Lu Ganglun sat in front of the table, sitting precariously, and when he saw Chen Xuan walking in, his eyes stopped at Chen Xuan's body and looked carefully.
Chen Xuan was also the first time to see the county officials of Houshan City, and after a large number of glances, he bowed his head.
