Datang Fenghua Road

Niu Laosan got up slowly and said to the old women, "Auntie, I won't be poor anymore!"

He suddenly turned his head to face the knight who came with him, and said loudly: "Where is the Paoze who is in charge of this town with me? Please move our construction funds over, while the people are here, let's show everyone. The reward of the lord."

Among the three hundred knights, fourteen suddenly took a step forward. Each of their horses was dragging a large box, and Niu Lao San’s total was fifteen boxes.

With the help of others, the 15 people quickly carried the box off their horses and moved it to the field. Niu Laosan snarled and shouted: "Split it!"

sonorous—

Everyone drew their knives together, smashing the lock of the box, and under the spark, the lock fell to the ground.

Niu Laosan took a step forward, reached out to hold the handle of a box, and at the same time turned his head to the surrounding people and said, "My fellow villagers and elders, look at what this is?"

He lifted his hands vigorously and lifted the top cover of the box directly.

Under the sun shining, a touch of copper green faintly entered the eyes, this is a whole box of copper coins.Next to the copper coin, there is a piece of gold the size of the belly of a little finger, and next to the gold, there are ten ingots of silver neatly stacked.

Copper, silver, gold!The three kinds of wealth shone brightly, and for a while, the eyes of the surrounding people were dazzled.

Niu Laosan laughed, and said, "Did you see it clearly, folks? This box contains five hundred copper coins, ten taels of gold, and fifty taels of silver..."

He pointed at the rest of the boxes, and said loudly, "The same is true for the other 150 people. All the money adds up to 750 taels, [-] taels of gold, and [-] taels of silver! The copper coins are the construction funds issued by the imperial court to our Niujia Village. , gold and silver are rewards for me and my fourteen colleagues, but now that I am the town mayor, these rewards will also be used to build Niujia Town..."

The people around were shocked, and after the shock, they were dazed.

so much money?

Niujia Village?

What is the construction cost?

Niu Laosan suddenly reached into his arms and took out something, and said proudly: "All folks, take a look, this is the official seal issued to me by the imperial court, and now I am the mayor of Niujia Town under the Tiance House. Under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, under the escrow of the King Zhao of the Western House, he held this seal to build Niujia Town. The lord wants people to give people, and money to give money. He is the sage king of our Tang Dynasty, eight thousand years old. Even the princes of various families have to meet him. Salute. Hey, fellow villagers and elders, my Niu Laosan used to be the prince's personal soldier, and our Niujia Town will be a town directly under the prince's command in the future. If you follow the prince to make a fortune, no one in the Tang Dynasty dares to provoke us..."

Chapter 397 Is Han Yue a living saint?

The scene was quiet for a while, no one dared to say a word, and everyone was frightened by the wealth in front of them.

Although Niujia Village came to Chang'an, there are no rich people in this era, let alone boxes of copper coins. Usually, there are so many pennies in the house that have to be locked in the cabinet as treasures. for children.

It doesn't matter if you suffer yourself, the money should be left to the children to start a family and business, and the money should be left to the children to marry and have children. This is the most traditional virtue of the ancient people.

After a long time, Niu Laosan's mother finally said tremblingly: "My son, where did you get all this money from? Our family's ancestors have been honest people for generations, and they never dare to do bad things for money."

Niu Laosan laughed, helped his mother and said respectfully: "Mother, don't worry, the origin of the money is clean. Didn't I just say that this is the construction funds issued by the imperial court to Niujia Town. Now I am the town Commander, I will manage twenty villages in the future..."

He suddenly reached into the box, picked up the piece of gold and said, "As for the ten taels of gold, I am rewarding a Turkic general, and 50 taels of silver is also a reward... Mother, you don't know, killing a Turkic general is a reward." It's amazing."

"There are so many rewards?" Niu murmured to herself, she had never seen gold in her life, but she couldn't help rubbing it in her hand.

"That's too much? All 15 of us are rewarded with this reward!" Niu Lao San laughed, pointed to the fourteen comrades next to him, and said loudly: "Mother, look, that's Li Village from Li Village." Dashi Li Ershi, that is Liu Damu from Liu Village, and that is Tian Zhuang from Tian Village..."

He pointed them out to his mother one by one, and said softly, "The 14 of them all came from the surrounding villages. The frontier army I joined with me back then also gathered together during the war."

Niu Mu let out a sigh of relief. Before she saw this group of soldiers, she was still afraid, but now she heard that they were all babies from the surrounding villages, and immediately felt less afraid.

Niu Laosan said again: "We are lucky, we surrounded a general during the grassland war. The general is so powerful that he can chop down a war horse with one knife. This kind of master did not dare to provoke him, but he was attacked by the prince. The divine weapon blew up half of his body, and the boy chopped off his head with one knife without much effort. When the military merit is settled, the lord doesn't want it at all, and the military merit is cheaper for us."

He took the gold in his mother's hand and tossed it up and down. The gold glistened in the sunlight. He chuckled and said, "If you kill a Turkic general, you can at least be named a county man according to military merit, but you can only seal one person as a county male." , the remaining 14 people will not receive rewards. Boyer and Paoze are brothers and sisters, and we all don't want to take credit for it alone. Granted an official position..."

Niu Nu said: "All fifteen people are officials?"

Niu Laosan is very proud. Although he is a man of nine feet, he looks like a child in front of his mother.

"You heard that right, all 15 of us are officials, some are deputy mayors, some are directors of the tax office, some are directors of public security, and my son is the main post of the mayor. I am half a level higher than them. The prince gave me nine The official seal of Tiance Mansion!"

"What is from the ninth grade?" Niu Ni did not understand.

The third grandfather next to him stood up and said somewhat cautiously: "The daughter-in-law of the Niu family has been an official in the Tang Dynasty since the ninth rank. Your baby is like the master in the county. It is a great official!"

In fact, rank [-] is considered to be a very low-level official position in the Tang Dynasty, but the common people have no knowledge, even the old man in this village has only heard of the county official from rank [-]. In his mind, he is naturally a very big official...

Niu Laosan suddenly turned around, cupped his hands to the three hundred knights who came with him, and said, "My comrades are polite, 300 of us were sent to Lantian County to build a town. I, Niu Laosan, thank you for helping me support the field. My own territory, everyone, hurry up and get busy!"

It turned out that these people were veterans who were about to take office, everyone laughed, and someone said to Niu Laosan: "Everyone didn't know before, it turns out that your nickname is Sanbiaozi. In the future, we will go to Tiancefu to report on work, and we can't tell the prince... …”

Niu Laosan spat and said with a hum: "Get out of here, get out of here, and quickly go to your territory. The lord said that the construction of townships is the top priority. If whoever wins the first place, the lord will come to congratulate you, everyone. They are all from personal soldiers, and they must not be won by other counties."

He glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "We have to compete for ourselves, friendship is friendship, political achievements are political achievements, but the lord said that after a year, he will be assessed for chicken shit (that is GDP, the soldiers don't understand) …”

The knights laughed and waved goodbye, and some people raised their voices: "Brother Niu, wait and see, I want to take the first place in the construction of the town, and I want to take the first place in the assessment of chicken farts."

The hoofs rumbled, the dust flew, and the figures of the knights soon disappeared.

……

……

The other elders in Niujia Village finally came after hearing the news.

These elders are the most senior in the clan. They first asked the onlookers for the whole story, and then grabbed the third Niu and said loudly: "Sanwa, I heard you talking to those military lords just now, it seems that we are in Niujia Village. To compete with people!"

"It's a competition, but it's a good thing!" Niu Laosan respected the elders and explained in a low voice, "What we are comparing is the speed of construction of villages and towns, as well as the chicken fart assessment of Tiancefu. This thing is very important. Win the first prize!"

"Chicken fart?" The eyes of several Su Laos were blank.

But they quickly put their minds on other things, and everyone was talking about Niu Lao San.He asked loudly, "You said you wanted to build a town, and the court gave you copper coins?"

Niu Laosan's face became solemn, and he pointed at the fifteen boxes and said, "The money is all here, a total of seven thousand five hundred. In fact, building a township yamen is very simple, and one hundred copper coins are enough. The reason why the prince has allocated so much money, Mainly to build houses for the people!"

Several Su Laos were stunned and gulped.

Several men in the crowd looked excited and said loudly: "Young San, you really want to build a house for the common people, using the money of the imperial court?"

"Yes, the court paid for it?"

Niu Laosan nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "Our Niujia Village will be upgraded to a town. Not only will all the houses be demolished, but a lot of new houses will be built. In the future, Niujia Village will be Niujia Town, and many people will definitely come."

He paused slightly when he said this, then suddenly bowed to the crowd and said loudly, "Several grandpas and uncles, the construction of townships is no trivial matter. I can't lose it, I hope the clan can support me, I don't want to be the second, I just want to take the first!"

"I want it!" A few old men slapped their thighs and said loudly: "As expected of a baby from Niujia Village, he has blood in his bones. Don't worry, although our village is poor, there is no shortage of men with hands and feet. The people of the same clan and the same clan, even if they are exhausted, they will help you take the first place."

"I won't let everyone help in vain!" Niu Laosan suddenly said, with a solemn face: "My lord said that no one can treat the common people unfairly. All workers must pay money. Eighty wen, even bare-ass little dolls have to pay, as long as they can help them when they work, they can get [-] wen as a rule."

Wow--

There was an uproar in the audience, and the people gasped.

A few old men squinted their eyes, and said tremblingly for a long time: "Sanwa, are you sure you're not talking nonsense? A hundred pennies a day for strong labor? Women can also get [-] pennies? Also, there are two children who are raw melons and eggs. Ten texts? This, this..."
