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

After the officers and soldiers took everyone away, Jian Ping signaled Jian Yi to let out three rapid nightingale cries.This is to indicate that all members of the village protection team have assembled.

But within a quarter of an hour, even the people who stayed at the sentry point at the other end of the village quickly ran back.A group of people looked at each other, not knowing what happened in less than an hour.

The gathering place has also changed from the entrance of the village to the ancestral hall.

Jian Ping still stood at the front as usual, and many torches had been lit in the ancestral hall, illuminating the gathering place.

While the people below were still whispering, Jian Ping coughed lightly.In an instant, it was quiet below.

"The bandits who were going to attack the village before have been taken away by the military men. This time, the rewards total [-] taels."

While talking, Jian Ping held up the big money bag for everyone to see.In an instant, the eyes of the people below became brighter.

However, even Tian Jin and Tian Yin didn't dare to say anything at the moment.

Jian Ping was very satisfied with this.

"We dispatched 200 people this time, each with one tael of silver. The rest will be useful with me."

That is to say, Jian Ping dares to say such a thing now, 100 taels of silver, if you want to keep it, you can keep it.And 200 taels of silver, as soon as it is said to be issued.

Jian Ping didn't give the people below a chance to refute his decision, and started counting the people with a wave of his hand. "Because it's all the whole money, so you make up a group of ten and come to change. Tian Wen, you register next to you."

"Hey, good!"

Tian Wen quickly ran to a small room next to the ancestral hall, which was usually used as a place to store some daily necessities brought by the members of the village protection team and serve as a rest room.

Tian Wen quickly ran over and took out a bamboo tube from inside.Inside the bamboo tube are the name tags of all the members of the village protection team.

And tonight, because there were extra people coming, Tian Wen quickly grabbed another empty lottery.Jian Yi and the others were also discerning, and they also carried out the table and chairs. Naturally, there were also the pens and inks Tian Wen wanted to use on the table.

It is really easy to see clearly that there are two groups of people.Those who stood in formation in an instant were 130 five members of the village protection team.

And the others who came to help stood by a little uncomfortably scattered.

When they heard what Jian Ping said, they still had to give them money, and those people became even more embarrassed.

"Boy Ping, we haven't done anything about this, so we don't need to share it with us..."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his 30s. At night, he was also worried about his son in the village protection team, so he came out to fight the bandits.

It was definitely considered a contribution before, and I didn't do anything to watch.

Jian Ping raised his hand and interrupted the other party. "I, Jian Ping, will not let my own people suffer. As long as they contribute to the village, I will never treat them badly. Needless to say, if you risk your life to protect the village tonight, you should take the money."

Jian Ping's calm words almost made the eyes of those who followed her turn red.They all looked at Jian Ping movedly, as excited as if they were praised by the official.

Although Jian Ping's words were calm, it was a recognition of them.And this group of rural men still need this kind of recognition psychologically.

Especially when they saw the sons standing in the line next to them, looking at them with excitement and pride, the group of elders who followed automatically straightened their backs, with pride on their faces .

That's right, they came here on their own initiative for the sake of the village and their own cubs.

Led by members of the village protection team, the ten-member group was quickly divided into twenty groups.Naturally, Tian Wenjian and the others are in a group, and they are not in a hurry to get the money first at this time.

Tian Wen's writing speed can be regarded as being trained. He quickly recorded the people who offered to help one by one, and then divided the lottery representing them into groups of ten according to their own teams.

After the teams were divided, Jian Ping directly gave the team one ten taels of silver, and asked them to divide them privately.

Soon, the 200 taels of silver were distributed.Jian Ping also specially gave the people below a little time to get excited, and he clapped his hands when the excitement was almost over.

There were three crisp sounds, and the whole team fell silent.I'm afraid even if Zhou Lin is standing here now, he would be shocked to see such a quick order and prohibition.

"The previous military master's meaning is obvious. This military service should start the day after tomorrow. If you have something to do these two days, please arrange it quickly. You don't need to train tomorrow. We will go to the barracks together early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, Jian Ping called for dismissal.Ignoring the faces of the group of people below who didn't know whether to be excited or worried, they put one hand on Tian Wen's shoulder and looked at the bamboo sticks that the other party was sorting out.

"Well, there is progress."

"Hey, thank you Brother Jian Ping." Tian Wen smirked, and quickly cleaned up the things on the table.However, the bamboo sticks are still grouped according to the previous grouping, and the groups of ten are tied with small ropes.

This will be solved after the people below have completely divided the money, otherwise if there is any lawsuit in the future, it will be no different from no record.

Jian Yi and the others carried the table and chairs back again with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and the tossing of the night was over.

Jian Ping sent Tian Wen to the door of the house, and Tian Wen's share of money was still placed with Jian Ping.Now there is a special small pot under Jian Ping's bed, which is used to put Tian Wen's private money.

For the next two days, Jianjia Village was immersed in a suppressed excitement.Almost every household went to the town to buy some things.

Within a day, the people below reported to Tian Wen, the chief accountant, that the money had been completely divided.And Tian Wen also took the small bamboo sticks he recorded, and asked them one by one. After confirming that everyone was divided, he shuffled the small bamboo sticks and put them back.

On Tian Wen's side, there is also a special record book.Any member of the village protection team who followed Jian Ping to complete a task would be recorded.

People who are not members of the village protection team also have a special registration.

Jian Ping had already told the team members about this point, but he didn't say clearly what these records would be used for in the future.

But every member of the team knew Jian Ping's generous behavior that this was definitely a good thing.Therefore, the tasks of the village protection team arranged by Jian Ping on weekdays were also actively completed one by one.

A day is gone in a blink of an eye, and Jian Ping still has one hundred and one taels of things with him, and almost everyone in the village knows about it.

But it's rare that even Uncle Tian San didn't come to Jian Ping to 'ask for money' this time.

Because, it's time for military service.

Tian Dabao, the grandson of Uncle Tian's family, will also follow.For some money that is not sure whether it can be obtained, the grandson's life will be put on the table. Even if Uncle Tian San is willing, the rest of Tian San's family will not dare to let him be willing.

So these two days, Jian Ping lived an extremely relaxed life.Even Tian Qian, who always sees that his glasses are not eyes and his nose is not his nose, avoids him.

After all, it is superstitious to say that the life of their kid is now in Jian Ping's hands.

At the time agreed by Zhou Lin, Jian Ping rushed to the gate of the barracks early in the morning with 90 people from the village who had to serve in the military.

Because the team was too neat, and the training was quiet and orderly, when 90 people stood at the gate of the barracks, the guards of the barracks were nervous, thinking it was someone from another barracks or some powerful person who could not afford to provoke With the men.

After seeing clearly that the best clothes on these 90 people were nothing more than neat cotton clothes, and some of them even had patches on their bodies, they relaxed a little.

When he saw the familiar Jian Ping, the last worry was gone.

Without Jian Ping's knowledge, he was considered a popular figure in this military camp.At the beginning, he singled out two bandits, and then singled out five bandits.

When I thought this was already the limit, who knew that the kid from Jian's village directly formed a militia and caught more than 40 real bandits who had seen red in their hands.

In this way, even ordinary team leaders feel a little in awe of Jian Ping, who only knows his name but never sees him.

Jian Ping took the people in Jianjia Village who needed to serve in the military and followed the instructions to register.Just as the people from Jian's Village were registering, scattered people from several other villages also came over.

It's just that unlike the people from Jian's Village who came here by themselves, the people from the other villages were almost all escorted by soldiers.

For a while, the gate of the barracks was extremely lively.

And in a large tent in the military camp, Zhou Lin was lying on the low table of the general's tent, sitting or not.Fortunately, there was a tiger skin under the low table so that he would not be allowed to sit directly on the ground.

"Hey, what do you think of this Jian Ping?"

The curtain of the big tent was half opened, and the people outside could not see the inside clearly, but the people inside could clearly see the situation outside.

The general's tent is facing the direction of the gate, and what happened there can naturally be seen clearly from here.

The person Zhou Lin winked and questioned was the real owner of the tent, Bai Huankong.

The military rank system of the Great Xia Dynasty can be regarded as inheriting from the previous dynasty, so don't look at others calling General Bai Huankong, just think it is a great official title.

Of course, compared with the official position of the highest seventh-rank county magistrate in Taohua Town, Bai Huankong, a fourth-rank military guard general, is indeed quite high.

Even if the military officer's official position is automatically half a rank lower than that of a civilian officer, Bai Huankong is indeed a big man in this small place.

However, in Bai Huankong's capacity, this General Wuwei is not usually aggrieved.

You must know that Bai Huankong is the eldest son of Zhongyuanhou in the capital, and if he inherits the Houfu, he can directly become a first-rank Marquis.

It's a pity that Bai Huankong is 23 years old, but he hasn't even been invited to be a prince.The rank of the military guard general of the fourth rank on his body is also from the beginning of fighting on the battlefield.

As for why the eldest son has not yet been invited to be crowned son, it is naturally because Bai Huankong's mother had passed away when he was more than one year old, and then he had a stepmother.

As the saying goes, once you have a stepmother, you will immediately have a stepfather. This is absolutely true.Today's Zhongyuanhou Mansion said that it is not known that the second wife Bai Miao is in charge of the house.

And Bai Miao's son, Bai Liye, is only two years younger than Bai Huankong.More importantly, the other party can also be regarded as a legitimate son.

Under such circumstances, it would be an absolute lie to say that the Bai Miao family and Bai Huankong's younger brother are not interested in the position of Lord Hou.

So before Bai Huankong, there was a lot of bad reputations such as being unfriendly to younger siblings, disrespecting elders, not easy to learn, and lazy.

If it weren't for Bai Huankong at that time, he didn't know whether he didn't like it or he couldn't go out, I'm afraid other dudes would have a lot of reputations that they "should have".

As a result, Bai Huankong was also a ruthless person. During the mutiny of the regime change many years ago, Bai Huankong went directly to the frontier barracks as a soldier.

Although it can't be regarded as a meritorious service from the dragon, it is also a solid military exploit.

Therefore, Bai Huankong's current title of Military Guard General has nothing to do with the Hou Fu.
