Chapter 32 Come to an end
Wen Chou stood in the village border with his hands, watching the county officials, and the horses were gradually moving away. The red clouds in the sky were spectacular. A gust of spring breeze blew, rolling the wheat seedlings in the fields on the roadside, like waves, and looking green and gratifying. In the distance, there were a few trees, and the branches on them had already drawn green buds, and some had already had the momentum of pride and lush leaves, and they were also swaying with the wind. The rustling wind filled the fields, competing to the ears and ears.
Seeing that he could see the truth, Liu Zhong couldn't help but ask, "Wenjun, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the green fields, lush trees and full of vitality! The red clouds of distant mountains are amazing!"
Yan Liang, Tie Qian, Dong Jiang and others were puzzled and looked at each other. They thought Wen Chou was either savoring what he had done for the first time today, or relaxing because he finally sent the superiors away, but they didn't expect him to say such a sentence.
Dong Jiang asked, "Wenjun, what are you talking about?"
Wen Chou said in his heart: "What I am talking about is that now spring is returning to the earth, and its momentum has been achieved. The people in the village are grateful and the superiors in the county know the responsibility. Just wait for the wheat seedlings to grow, and it will be the day of harvest."
He smiled slightly and said, "I'm talking about the deeper spring, and the last cold wave has gone away. I was the first to be in charge of being in charge, and I feel that the pressure on my body is heavy, and I need more help."
"Mr. Wen, there is a place where you can help me. Just send someone a little word or a piece of paper. You will definitely arrive at me!" Dong Jiang said in a deep voice.
"So are we!" Liu Zhong and Tie Qian looked at each other and said.
"I am thankful to you all, I am Wen Chou, so I am very grateful." Wen Chou looked at the people who expressed their opinions and bowed. Seeing that it was getting late, it was too late to go to the Guan Temple to work, so he said, "I might as well invite everyone to drink tonight and express my respect!"
Everyone laughed, agreed with a loud promise, surrounded Wen Chou, and turned back to Wen's house in Wen's Pavilion.
There is no need to say much about having fun all night.
...
The next day.
It was not yet clear, and Wen Chou, Liu Zhong, Dong Jiang and three or five others had already rode their horses to the Guan Temple. To be precise, today is the first day Wen Chou took office. After all, Du Gong was in charge yesterday, and the copywriting in the village has not been handed over yet!
"Mr. Wen, we arrived so early!" A Er, who was busy in the backyard, heard the sound of horse hooves outside the yard and rushed to check. Seeing that it was Wen Chou and others, he couldn't help but say in surprise.
"A Er, what are you busy with?" Wen Chou handed the reins of the horse to A Er who came up to him and said casually.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just get some water and get some food and grass for the horse!" A Er took the reins and said, "Oh, Lord Wang has also gotten up and is in the lobby to sort out the rural Chinese copy left by Du Gong."
"Oh, this king is diligent!" Wen Chou said in surprise.
"That's right, Lord Wang has always been the first to get up in the village. Not only that, he is also the most serious in doing things!" A Erjie praised.
"This Wang Chong is a pragmatic and steady person," Wen Chou thought.
"Brother Liu, Brother Dong, let's arrange the horse with Er. I'll go to the lobby to see Wang Jun first." Wen Chou said to Liu Zhong, Dong Jiang and others beside him.
"Mr. Wang, I'm working hard!" Wen Chou saw Wang Chong surrounding the dozens of big boxes in the hall, checking and recording.
"Oh, Wenjun came quite early!" Wang Chong looked up and saw that it was Wen Chou and said in surprise.
"No more diligent than Wang Jun." Wen Chou bowed.
"It just so happens that these are all the village documents left by Du Gong. Wenjun, please accept them!" Wang Chong pointed to more than a dozen boxes in the lobby and said.
"So many!" Wen Chou couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when he saw so many texts.
"There were only about seven or eight, and these five were new books made by pacifying refugees recently!" Wang Chong pointed to the five new boxes and said.
"Well, Mr. Du is really diligent and wise. He has prepared all the relevant books of refugees so quickly." Wen Chou said ashamed.
"It's really not easy. Those days were so busy!" Wang Chong couldn't help but waved his hand, as if he was extremely reluctant to recall the busy days, and said with a bitter face.
Although Wang Chong, the village assistant, had already known that Wen Chou had orders in the township, he still acted according to the regulations and insisted on ordering Wen Chou to present the appointment documents in the county.
Wen Chou had no choice but to approach, showed the appointment letter given by Du Yi to him, and then watched the boxes of documents and books one by one, carefully checking them, and then completed the handover.
In this way, Wen Chou officially became a rank-ranked rose husband in Shahe Township!
Liu Zhong, Dong Jiang and others came to the lobby and saw Wen Chou and Wang Chong circling around the box. Wang Chong always gave Wen Chou one by one and said, and did not come forward to disturb him.
"Brother Liu, Brother Dong, you are here. Look, I will be busy in the future!" After the handover, Wen Chou saw that Liu Zhong and others were already in the lobby, so he pointed at the boxes and said to himself.
"Wenjun still needs to help this matter, but we cannot replace it." Liu Zhong also smiled.
Although this is not the first time Wen Chou has arrived at Guan Temple, the previous few times have been coming and going in a hurry like a glimpse. The most common time is to have a detailed discussion with Du Yi all night, and he has never had any understanding of the scale and layout of Guan Temple. So he followed Wang Chong to see the entire courtyard.
The cottage is divided into two parts. The front is the Guan Temple and the back is the Guan Temple, which is separated by a wall in the middle and connected with the door. The Guan Temple is used for office work. The township has orders, the township servants, the little official of the Zushi, etc. usually handle official duties there, mainly the lobby, and there are deputy halls on both sides. The official house is used for living, divided into two areas, both independent courtyards, two adjacent sides, and the township servants live on the left, and the township servants, the township servants, the Zushi, etc., and the right is a place where the township is located.
The stable is in the southeast corner, enough to accommodate seven or eight horses. Facing the courtyard door is a brick and stone house, one courtyard and two rooms in the style. There are steps in front of the door, facing north and south, which is the main part of the entire cottage. Other buildings are scattered around it with it as the center. There are also a row of three or four thatched cottages next to it, and the south is the kitchen.
The west side wall is from north to south: vegetable bed, water well, chicken basin, and toilet. There is a circle of fences outside the vegetable bed, and there is a kind of vegetable with green leaves on it. Wen Chou doesn't know that kind of vegetable; there are several old hens leading a group of chickens, leisurely walking back and forth. There are wooden manhole covers on the well to prevent fallen leaves and dust.
After a group of people, it was already bright, and new village officials joined in one after another, and wisps of smoke from cooking fires rose in the kitchen to the south. But it was time for breakfast!
The common meal system in the Han Dynasty was to have two meals in the morning and evening every day, but this was not fixed. The reason was that ordinary people in Guizhou had no extra money to make three meals. Therefore, like the pre-Qin period, nobles and rich people were not subject to this restriction and could have three meals. And as the supreme existence, the emperor could have four meals a day according to the etiquette system.
The salary of a rank-and-rose husband is very small, only a hundred stones or a pound of food. The salary of the villagers, the villagers and others is even smaller, which is only enough for food and clothing. He cannot eat three meals a day, so he needs to eat more when he gets up early.
In order to show their favor to the people, Wen Chou and others and the township officials, the township soldiers set up a few tables in the courtyard and had a meal together.
After dinner, Wang Chong said, "Mr. Wen, the big thing is now. I haven't been home for more than 20 days. Can I go back today?" Usually, it's a rest every five days, but the execution is not very strict. If there are too many things, I will be busy for a few more days, especially for officials and soldiers at the bottom.
A few days ago, the big stone of the Black Mountain bandits was pressing against everyone. In the past few days, I have been happy to resist the bandits, and I have also received rewards. Du Yi, Qin Zhanggao moved to leave his post, Wen Chou Gao was promoted to office, etc., and other things are really complicated. Speaking of which, it is not only Wang Chong, but also everyone in the village has not had a rest for many days.
"Well, thanks to you in recent days. If it weren't for you, I would have been in chaos in my hometown. Here I, Wen Chou, thank you for the people in the village." Wen Chou pondered for a moment, and thought there was nothing big about it, and said: "As Wang Jun said, since the great things have been cleared now, if you want to rest, you can go back today!"
"Wenjun wise!"
"Wenjun Shengming!"
Everyone cheered in unison. Yes, they had never returned home in the past month, and Xin had received a lot of rewards, so they had long been in a hurry to go home to show off. Now they have to try what they want and how can they not be happy to go home?
"But remember to return on time in three days!" Wen Chou said to everyone who was cheering.
"Three days, it's great!" Wang Chong said in surprise first.
"Three days, sure, sure!" The others nodded and promised without falling.
Originally, there was only one day off, but Wen Chou Lianqi had been busy for nearly a month and thought for a long time and decided to take them three days off!
As noon approached, most of the officials and soldiers in the village returned home, only some old soldiers who regarded the village as their home, old servants, or people who had no family like A Er were still busy in the house.
Wen Chou looked at Liu Zhong beside him, Dong Jiang and others were also interested, and then said, "Brother Dong, Brother Liu, you haven't been home for some time! Why not go home and check it out?"
"In this way, isn't there no one beside Wenjun!" Liu Zhongcheng said earnestly.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, go back. If there is something wrong, I, Wen Chou, will definitely send someone to notify you!" Wen Chou said with a smile.
Liu Zhong still wanted to speak, and Wen Chou said solemnly: "Brother Liu, I want others to talk about Wen Chou, but I don't know the human nature. Do you tie you up in my house?"
Seeing that Wen Chou was determined and missed his relatives at home, Liu Zhong and others followed Wen Chou's advice. After three days of speaking, the person would come.
Wen Chou sent people to send a message to some other village knights who were staying in Wen's Pavilion, asking them to go home to take care of them, and never abandon their human ethics because of Wen Chou alone.
The people who were left behind were all because their injuries were not stable, and the Wen family was in good condition, which was conducive to the improvement of their injuries. Now that the injuries were stable, it would seem a bit unkind if they were not allowed to return home.
After everything was done, Wen Chou rode out of the Guan Temple alone and rushed to the central and southern part of the township. The search for the fallen villagers has not been completed yet!
Chapter completed!
