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

Jian Ping and Tian Wen's return home, although they wanted to come quietly, caused quite a stir in Nan'an City.

Let alone Jian Ping's contribution to Nan'an City, even Jian Ping's current status as a baron prevents the people of Nan'an City from ignoring the existence of this person too easily.

What's more, within two years, Jian Ping not only got himself the status of a baron, but also got the status of a centurion for his own father, and even got the status of a child for his mother.

The meaning behind this made the people of Nan'an city dare not be too presumptuous.

Mo Jianji and Bai Huankong had already been transferred last year.Presumably, the emperor overthrew the biggest obstacle, Prime Minister Zuo, and his control over many things has made great progress.

After things on the border became more stable, there was no need to put the two vassals in such a shitty place.

In line with the principle that local people cannot serve as officials there, Tian Wu may not be able to return to the county magistrate after being transferred.However, if Tian Wu is promoted in the future, at least he will be above the magistrate, and he can return to Nan'an City as the general manager.

But that's all for the future.

The new county magistrate is a person he doesn't know, but he is a person with great eyesight.When they saw Jian Ping and others' bike frame passing by outside Nan'an City, they didn't make any publicity.

After all, the status of a baron is enough for a ninth-rank county magistrate to treat him like this.

In the field, the two sides had a friendly negotiation, and then left each other satisfied.When he arrived at Jian's Village, Jian Ping realized why the county magistrate was so forthright.

Because, the enthusiasm of the people in Jian's Village is not something he can refuse.The three-day running water mat occupied the entire main street of Jian's Village.

As the local parental officer, the county magistrate came here early on the first day, giving Jane enough face.When everything calmed down, it was already five days later.

After all, after the running banquet, Jian Ping had to receive all kinds of people who came to visit.Relatives of the Jian family, former friends, masters and students of the academy, and even local gentry who hadn't known each other before.

This kind of diplomatic activity is not something that Jian Ping can omit because he finds it bothersome.

So when Jian Ping and Tian Wen were really free, it was already five days later.

"Father, what happened this early in the morning to make you so happy?"

In the early morning of the sixth day, when Jian Ping still wanted to sleep for a while, Jian Dazhu waited in the living room with a thick ledger.

The elders are waiting in the living room, can Jian Ping continue to pretend to be asleep?Of course it can't.

But the resentment of not getting enough sleep still makes Jian Ping a little dumbfounded.

Jian Dazhu didn't care about Jian Ping's resentment, and directly stuffed the thick account book into Jian Ping's arms. "Now that you're back, I'll return the matter of your wine shop to you, and you can take care of it yourself in the future."

Jian Dazhu was really relieved, and while talking, he took out a large stack of bank notes from his arms. "This is the money earned in the past two years. I asked Jian Meizhi to do the accounts. See if there is any problem."

Jian Ping just glanced at it, and he could probably see that the total number of bank notes was more than 2.Jian Ping was also a little baffled by the fact that his winery could earn [-] taels of silver in two years.

When he left, the winery could not be taken away, so he handed over the wine making technology to Jian Dazhu alone.

It's not that he doesn't trust the two brothers. From Jian Ping's point of view, these trivial matters have nothing to do with trust or distrust, after all, he doesn't particularly care.

But it was one thing after all, if two people were to do it, it would always lead to some follow-up problems that he couldn't imagine.

So simply, Jian Ping handed everything over to Jian Dazhu.If Jian Dazhu himself wanted that winery, then that winery should be regarded as his filial piety to this father.

If Jian Dazhu couldn't hold on and let the other brothers intervene, that was what Jian Dazhu meant, and Jian Ping would 'follow' Jian Dazhu.

But now it seems that Jane's family knows how to choose.

It is true that if you take the winery, you may get a lot of money, but the obvious relationship with their big brother, that is, Jian Ping, is probably impossible to repair.

So whether it was Jian Dazhu's insistence or the bottom line of the other brothers, they did not interfere with the winery.

It has to be said that seeing such a result, Jian Ping's mood really improved a lot.

Jian Ping casually put the ledger aside, this can be read later.Instead, the 2 taels of silver note given by Jian Dazhu was pushed back to Jian Dazhu.

"Father, you can use the money, I don't need money."

"How is this possible!" Jian Dazhu almost didn't jump up as if his hands were scalded. "That's a lot of money!"

Although the family has become rich in recent years because of Jian Ping, 2 taels of silver is still a large amount.

Jian Ping indifferently handed the bank note to Jian Dazhu, and waved his hand casually. "I went out to work for others in the past two years, and my boss didn't treat me badly, and gave me 10 taels of silver."

"..." Jian Dazhu's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, looking at Jian Ping in disbelief.If Tian Wen hadn't come out with tea, Jian Dazhu would have wanted to dig out his ears to see if he heard it wrong.

"You're not going to do something bad, are you?"

Jian Ping waited for a long time, wanting to see Jian Dazhu excited.Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Jian Dazhu's old eyes turned red and he almost looked sad and angry.

Seeing Jian Dazhu's appearance ready to go all out, Jian Ping quickly stopped the other party's wild thinking. "Father, what are you thinking? You don't even think about it. If I do something illegal, the emperor can give me a title."

"Yes, yes, and the reward from the Lord, my son must have done nothing bad." In Jian Ping's view, it didn't matter, but Jian Dazhu, an honest man all his life, frightened his hands and feet a little. Soft.

Tian Wen quickly put down the things in his hands, and helped Jian Dazhu to sit down. "Father, don't scare yourself. Brother Jian Ping has been promoting farming in the past two years, because the grain production in the south has increased by more than five times in the past two years, so God gave these rewards."

Jian Ping touched his nose guilty, but he didn't expect his father to be so frightened.But looking at Jian Dazhu's worried look, Jian Ping didn't dare to make people think about it anymore.

"Yeah, dad, 10 taels seems a lot in mountainous areas like ours. In the south, 10 taels might not be enough for a big family to eat for a month."

This is bragging, just talking about things with the top ones.But anyway, Jian Dazhu doesn't know the situation there, so bragging can make Jian Dazhu feel more relaxed.

"What? 10 taels is not enough for a month?" Sure enough, Jian Dazhu looked at Jian Ping in shock, his old eyes were just short of writing 'I'll just watch you brag'.

But in terms of bragging, Jian Ping is really good.

"Dad, what do you think, if people want to drink chicken soup, they must use the kind of soup made from chickens that grew up with ginseng and antler. For a piece of clothing, the embroidery thread made of gold alone weighs several catties .If the price of a meal is less than 100 taels, it’s not good to eat.”

Jian Ping took a sip from the teacup, then pouted casually.It's that it doesn't look like a big deal, but it makes Jian Dazhu believe that 10 taels is really nothing in the south.

When Jian Dazhu, who had been brainwashed by Jian Ping, was sent home, Tian Wen squeezed Jian Ping's face in a funny way. "You have a thick skin."

Jian Ping thought it was the other party complimenting him, picked him up and wanted to go to the bedroom. "My skin can be thicker!"

"Hey, hey, it's broad daylight now, don't make trouble!" Tian Wen was startled and wanted to jump off.

It's a pity that Jian Ping was determined to go back to his room to do some business, so he didn't give Tian Wen a chance to jump down.

But what is even more regrettable is that this year is obviously not a private day.

'Button button' "Excuse me, is Mr. Jian at home?" Originally, because Jian Ping had a title on him, everyone he knew would call him Lord Jian Ping.

However, Jian Ping refused directly on the grounds that this title was too ugly.So later, when everyone didn't know what expression to use to express their inner activities, the address became Mr. Jian again.

Jian Ping's footsteps stopped on the spot, with a troubled expression on his face.And Tian Wenwo laughed in Jian Ping's arms, shaking all over his body. "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, I'll go see who's here."

This time, Tian Wen jumped down smoothly.After finishing her clothes, she first pulled Jian Ping to the living room to sit down, and then walked towards the gate.

Jian Ping looked at Tian Wen's back and began to think.It seems that it is best to buy a few servants or little girls at home, otherwise they have to do things like opening the door by themselves, which is really troublesome.

The people who came this time were unexpected and reasonable.

The head of the village, Zhang Hongmin, gathered at Jian Ping's house together with all the heads of the eight villages in the surrounding area.With Jian Ping's current status, he naturally didn't need to show any sincerity and fear when these people came in person.

After greeting each other, everyone went straight to the point.

"It's like this. The old man has been feeling that his body is becoming more and more useless in recent days, so he thinks that we can't delay the business of our ten miles and eight villages, and wants to retire from the position of chief here."

Zhang Hongmin sat on the first seat under Jian Ping, it's not that Jian Ping didn't know how to behave, it was because Jian Ping's current title made Jian Ping only behave in this way.

Listening to Zhang Hongmin's words, Jian Ping calmly heard two words - here we come.

Jian Ping didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Hongmin.And Zhang Hongmin didn't show any pretense, and directly stated their plan.

"Although the position of head here is small, it needs a capable person to be competent, so we unanimously elected Mr. Jian as our head. I don't know what Mr. Jian means?"

Zhang Hongmin and the others were also really helpless, logically speaking, Jian Ping already had a title, so this little village chief would definitely look down on him.

However, Jian Ping's identity as the village head of Jian's Village has not been removed. If they want to elect a village head now, they must choose among these village heads.

Jian Ping is one of the candidates for the village head. Who else would dare to compete with Lord Jian Ping for the position of village chief?

Whether Jian Ping is willing to be that is Jian Ping's business.But they had to put on a show to express their sincere wish to recommend Jian Ping.

Zhang Hongmin sincerely wanted to recommend Jian Ping, because whether it was due to his maturity or other reasons, Zhang Hongmin could see the benefits of Jian Ping being the head of the village.

But the other village chiefs don't necessarily think so, and there are even many people who hope that Jian Ping will look down on the position of village chief, and then dismiss them to have a chance.

It's a pity that Jian Ping is not the kind of person who 'knows' how to refuse.

Jian Ping slowly put down the teacup in his hand, then frowned and thought for a while.Finally, under everyone's expectant, even trembling eyes, he nodded slightly. "Then I won't refuse."

Jian Ping's words almost failed the people below.But fortunately, everyone is not a stupid person, and they also know that this is the only way things have come to this point.

Jian Ping looked at the expressions of the people sitting below, but he never thought about finding a group of disobedient subordinates for himself.So when it's time to give sweet dates, Jian Ping will naturally not be stingy.

"Hey, in fact, I didn't want to be the head of this village at first." Ignoring the occasional two people who lowered their heads and couldn't hide the corners of their mouths, Jian Ping continued to express affection.

"Everyone knows that I have some ability in farming. I have learned a little when I went out to study before. This time I came back to benefit our Nan'an City. If I become the chief of this district, I will be able to do things It will definitely be more convenient at that time. When the time comes, our entire Nan'an City will be prosperous together, and it will not be in vain for me to have the cheek to accept the position of Lichang."

Such things as titles are unexpected, not to mention that they still have no real power.

And things like village chiefs are in the plan, not to mention that this thing still has real power in their ten miles and eight villages.

Even if Jian Ping is mentally ill, he will not refuse such a good deed.What's more, this is something he started planning two years ago.

After Jian Ping threw out the 'bait', as expected, even the two young village chiefs who were unwilling to do so became a little excited.

After all, what Jian Ping gave was real benefits.

Jian Ping has been away for two years, almost making them forget the fear that they almost didn't have enough to eat.You must know that the crops now have such a good income, isn't it all thanks to Jian Ping's blessing.

If Jian Ping had a better way to make them live a better life, at least in a short period of time, the position of the village chief would be indisputable.

In the face of tangible benefits, everyone knows how to choose.

Thus, the matter of Jian Ping becoming the head of the village was decided so lightly.On the same day, Jian Ping and Zhang Hongmin went to the county government office, and exchanged documents to confirm Jian Ping's official authority.

It was already evening when all the village chiefs were invited to the restaurant in the county town to have a meal. Jian Ping went back to the house with Tian Wen in his arms without saying a word.

At such a time when the sky is already dark, if someone still dares to come over, don't blame Jian Ping for throwing dirty water on them.
