A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

Naturally, Jian Ping had already started preparing for the matter of "making meritorious service" at the border.In the final analysis, it was just guided by the desire to survive.

No matter what Bai Huankong and Mo Jianji said, they were the sons of officials who could return to Beijing at any time.It's not that these two people are bad, but it's obvious that those two people are on the side of the new emperor wholeheartedly.

In their previous conversation, it seemed that Jian Ping had convinced those two people, but it was not.It's just because those two people haven't seen it yet, it's just a bargaining chip to bring Jian Ping to the capital.

But Peng Xiao is different. General Peng has been tied to the northwest frontier city whether he is voluntary or forced. From Jian Ping's point of view, I am afraid that unless General Peng dies in battle or returns home, the new The emperor will not transfer him from this place.

The northwestern frontier blocked the covetous barbarians from invading. As long as the new emperor was insane, he would definitely put someone here who could make him feel at ease in such an important military place.

Compared with General Peng, Bai Huankong and Mo Jianji were like the two people who came to 'protect' Peng Xiao.Because of the turmoil within the imperial court, the new emperor was also afraid that something might happen to Peng Xiao.

So the military commander Bai Huankong was protecting him from the rear, and Mo Jianji, a capable man, was supposed to support Bai Huankong on the surface, but he was probably also there to help Peng Xiao.

Under such circumstances, as long as he Jianping fell into the eyes of General Peng, the possibility of Bai Huankong and Mo Jianji insisting on taking him to the capital would be much reduced.

Jian Ping is not interested in the battlefield where dragons and tigers are fighting in the capital.

Jian Ping and Tian Wen stayed at the border for two months, and they didn't say goodbye to Peng Xiao until the crops in the field were almost ready.

Things like favorability and importance are not things that can be brushed out every day in front of the other party.For many things, Jian Ping also needs to go back and plan in detail.

In two months, the Spring Festival has already passed.And the weather in March will no longer snow.

Jian Ping bid farewell to Tian Wen and Peng Xiao, but left Tian Wu at the border.There are still four months until Tian Wu's next exam, so it is still necessary to stay and keep fit.

The scholar exam was only for three days, and Tian Wu almost failed to make it through the first three days.As for the examiners, it is said that they will be locked up in a cubicle in the examination room for nine days and nine nights.

As for Tian Wu's small body, if he didn't practice more quickly, he might not be able to get out by then.

Without any psychological burden, Jian Ping threw a 15-year-old child to the border "as a hostage".He brought his Qidi back home happily.

In the early spring of March, Jianjia Village was already much warmer than that at the border.The once white snow has all turned into water, nourishing the earth.

The grass on the side of the road is green, dotted with a little yellow winter jasmine, which makes people feel that spring has come.

Jian Ping's return naturally caused great shock in Jian's Village.When Jian Ping was at home, people in the village could almost earn a few taels of silver every month.

But following the two months when Jian Ping left, everyone could see that even if they had learned the skills, without Jian Ping, they really were nothing.

In the two months since Jian Ping left, on average, every household can earn half a tael of silver in two months, which is already considered good.

The importance of Jian Ping in Jian's Village was once again deeply recognized by the people of Jian's Village.

"Ping Wazi, since you've come back, can the fry in our field be put down?"

Jian Ping had just arrived home, before he had time to take a sip of hot water, Uncle Wu, the old village head and Jian Dazhu came to look for him together.

Jian Dazhu originally came to see his son, but after being told by Uncle Wu and the old village chief, he also felt that this matter could not wait any longer.

After all, the future of the field is all about whether the villagers can have enough food.Although every household now has some money-making crafts, in the eyes of this group of people whose ancestors have made a living by farming for generations, the land is more important.

Although Jian Ping and Tian Wen have been away for two months, Yang Shuxian and Jian Dazhu have been entrusted to take care of the family.There was Jian Le at the flower shop, so the whole room didn't look lifeless.

The old couple don't have much to do now, so they are very diligent in cleaning the house on weekdays.At least when Jian Ping and Tian Wen came back, the house was absolutely clean.

"It can be released. When I came back, I went around to the paddy field in the village to have a look. The water temperature is almost the same. Today, the villagers can let the fish fry that have been selected be released."

Rice is different from wheat, because winter wheat is still very cold-resistant, so winter wheat was planted in the dry land after the autumn harvest last year.

However, the rice could not be planted at that time. After a few snowfalls, the weather had warmed up slightly, and the villagers reorganized the paddy fields again, so that they could be planted in the spring.

After all, rice seedlings are much more delicate in comparison. If they are planted in winter, they will freeze to death in the paddy fields after a few snowfalls.

After getting Jian Ping's permission, Uncle Wu and the old village chief left happily.Before Jian Ping left the village last year, he told the villagers to prepare fish fry in advance.

So now, the only step left is to put the fry in the field.

Uncle Wu and the old village chief came and left quickly.Before Tian Wen even boiled a pot of hot water, he left.

After Jian Dazhu watched those two leave, he actually wanted to follow.

Jian Ping had no choice but to reach out and grab him. "Father, please slow down."

"Hehe, what's the matter, Boss? Didn't you just say that the fish fry can be produced? I'll go back and have a look, and I will also produce our family's fish fry." Jian Dazhu is a real optimist, with a dry cigarette sticking out of his back He folded his hands and looked happy all day long.

When my family was poor, I never saw Jian Dazhu depressed.It's just that he was a little taciturn at that time, but in front of the children, he still tried his best to maintain a cheerful appearance.

Otherwise, the brothers of Jian's family would not be so harmonious.

Now that the situation at home is better, the smile on Jian Dazhu's face is even bigger.There is nothing to worry about on weekdays, and I just think about his one-acre three-point land.

And Yang Shuxian is now focusing all her energy on her small stall.

Jian Ping helplessly supported Jian Dazhu and Tian Wen also put a cup of hot tea beside Jian Dazhu. "Father, don't rush to leave."

After Jian Dazhu was helped to sit down, he still looked cheerful.Seeing that Jian Ping was looking for him for something, he took out the cigarette pouch pinned to his waist and prepared to smoke a couple of puffs. "No rush, no hurry, tell me what's going on."

"It's like this. I'm going to plant some fruit trees this year. I want to ask you and your mother what fruits you like to eat. I'll plant some by the way."

"What? Fruit trees? You want to plant fruit trees?" Jian Dazhu was taken aback, looking at Jian Ping curiously.

Jian Ping nodded affirmatively. "Yes, the small soil bags I bought last year are impossible to plant, so they are used to grow fruit trees. I plan to grow more, so I want to ask you and your parents if there is any fruit you like or want to eat. "

Jian Dazhu really thought about it seriously, this optimistic old man still knows how to enjoy the status quo. "Well, it doesn't matter to me, your mother likes to eat sweet things. Oh yes, it would be great if you could plant some orange trees or something."

"Oranges, yes, then I will plant some lychees and longan, all of which are sweet."

Jian Dazhu was happy the whole time. Although he had never eaten lychee and longan, it did not prevent him from trusting his eldest son's decision at all. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing Jian Dazhu being so 'cooperative', Jian Ping himself was a little dumbfounded.Come on, let's make up our own mind.

"Okay dad, here are some little things that Tian Wen and I brought back for you and mother this time, you and mother keep them for emergencies."

Jian Ping glanced at Tian Wen, and Tian Wen took out a small box from the salute of the two.A small wooden box that is one foot wide and long.

"Father, you take this."

Tian Wen delivered the things to Jian Dazhu, and Jian Dazhu opened it curiously and took a look. "What's all this? Hey, is this ginseng?"

After the box was opened, the contents inside were directly presented to Jian Dazhu.Even if he has never eaten pork, Jian Dazhu has seen pigs running. Although he has never had one, it does not prevent him from knowing the existence of this thing.

Jian Dazhu was a little nervous holding the box, because even an ignorant person like him could tell that this ginseng must be quite old.

Jian Ping didn't give Jian Dazhu a chance to refuse, and pressed Jian Dazhu's hand, letting him hold it with confidence. "We still have one of these things here, and it's not worth much at the border, so you can take it with confidence."

The things were directly handed over to Jian Dazhu because Jian Dazhu was easier to persuade.Sure enough, under repeated assurances from Jian Ping and Tian Wen, even though Jian Dazhu was still a little nervous, he still kept the things.

With an old ginseng in his arms, Jian Dazhu couldn't sit still.After talking to Jian Ping and his wife, they hurried home.

Jian Ping and Tian Wen looked at each other, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.As long as the family members are doing well, their life will only get better and better.

With the return of Jian Ping and his wife, Jian's Village became lively again.Jian Ping said he wanted to plant fruit trees, so he went to the county without delay to buy enough fruit tree seedlings to plant five hills.

The location of Jianjia Village is so good. At the junction of the north and the south, there is no such thing as a failure to grow fruits from the north or from the south.

Coupled with Jian Ping's golden finger spirit spring, Jian Ping is still very confident about planting things.

People in the village didn't plant before, that's because there is almost no place to farm at home, who can think of those things that are not enough to eat.

But it's different now, every family's life is getting better and better, and the harvest in the field has also increased.After the family had some spare money, they all began to think about how to make their lives better.

So this time, Jian Ping started with the matter of planting fruits.Almost every household in the village bought a few fruit trees by the way, either to plant in their own yards or in the small front yard at the gate.

But unlike the fruit trees Jian Ping chose, most of the people chose peach trees and persimmon trees.Even more people choose the pomegranate tree.

Obviously, everyone has a higher degree of acceptance for this kind of thing with a beautiful meaning.

The small mountain bag sounds big, but it's actually not that big.In terms of planting trees, planting fifty fruit trees on a hill would be considered full.

So in the end, less than [-] fruit trees were planted on the five hills.

Jian Ping not only planted the small mountain with fruit trees, but also planted peach trees on both sides of the road from Taohua Town to Jianjia Village.

They are all three-year-old peach trees, which can bear fruit in the same year.After planting it, Jian Ping watered it several times with diluted spiritual spring water, and within half a month, the peach trees on both sides of the road began to sprout flower buds.

No one doubts that this spring, you will be able to see the fragrance of peach blossoms along the way.

When the people in Jianjia Village planted all the fruit trees, tidied up all the paddy fields, and put all the fish fry into the paddy fields, another month passed without knowing it.

This time, Jian Ping didn't bother the people in the barracks. There were less than [-] fruit trees, [-] long-term workers in the family and some people hired in the village. These jobs were enough in terms of labor.

And in April, the imperial court's awards for last year were finally distributed.

Jian Ping, a ninth-rank miscellaneous official, was directly promoted to eighth rank by two ranks.While improving a lot of social status, he finally has a [wine brewing license].

Among the rights of eight-rank miscellaneous officials, they can brew five hundred catties of water wine privately every quarter.The salary has also risen to two taels of silver per month, which is gratifying.

Court officials all have a lot of power, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people rushing to become officials.

Miscellaneous officials like Jian Ping still have strict restrictions on the number of wives and concubines and the layout of the house, but they have relaxed a lot when it comes to matters related to farming and mulberry.

The amount of grain that needs to be handed over to the location of the eight-rank miscellaneous official has become the achievement of the eight-rank miscellaneous official.

If it can be completed on time, or over-fulfilled, then this eighth-rank miscellaneous official will still be able to sit firmly this year.

If it is not enough, relegation in the next year is one thing, and the rights you just have will naturally have to be handed over.

If it is still insufficient in the second year, then he must be dismissed.

All in all, the court's management of miscellaneous officials is still very strict.
