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

Although Jian Ping mentioned the next day, the specific time was actually the afternoon of the next day.After all, the corn, rice, and other crops in the field were about to mature. No matter how convinced Jian Ping was, the villagers still wanted to do more farm work when the weather was cooler in the morning.

Jian Ping could indeed spend his study time in the morning to make himself more comfortable, and the villagers would definitely dare not speak out.But in this way, the complaints in the hearts of the villagers may not be easy to control.

This kind of harming others is not necessarily a self-interested thing, and Jian Ping didn't feel that he had to do it.

Therefore, the study time should be placed after four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is about to go down, it will be slightly cooler, and it will be before dinner.

Early in the morning, Jian Ping changed into his out-of-the-box attire—the green shirt and long robe with a particularly bookish look.

Jian Ping is also very helpless for this kind of thing that requires grace and then is particularly warm.If he had a choice, he would prefer to wear short-sleeved shorts for the summer.It's a pity that short-sleeved shorts can only be used as "boudoir fun" and pajamas that can't go out of the bedroom at best in this time and space.

Don't talk about going out the door, Tian Wen would be so nervous to go out the bedroom door wearing those clothes.

That's right, Jian Ping tossed out some short-sleeved shorts for himself and Tian Wen...as pajamas.As a matter of course, Jian Ping moved his mouth, Tian Wen broke his leg, and Tian Wen made it himself.

After all, like this kind of underwear, Tian Wen really doesn't like to be contaminated by others.Not to mention buying them, even the ones that Yang Shuxian made for Jian Ping in the past have been gradually eliminated by Tian Wen now.

Jian Ping just enjoys the fact that his own cutie is possessive of him.

"To see the magistrate, is it really okay for me to dress like this?" Early in the morning, Tian Wen was a little panicked.After all, no matter what ordinary person is suddenly told to go to see the county magistrate later, he will panic in his heart.

It was also Tian Wen who followed Jian Ping during this period of time, and Jian Ping's 'flat' disposition affected him, so now he is only a little nervous, not like other people in the village who might have weak legs.

Jian Ping glanced at Tian Wen when he heard this. The emerald green long gown, which was similar to his own, made Tian Wen look like a small green bamboo when worn on Tian Wen's body.

The white belt rolled down made Tian Wen's waist look slimmer. After all, Tian Wen didn't have any fame, so under normal circumstances, he couldn't dress up as a literati.

It doesn't matter what he wears at home on weekdays, but when he meets an official, he still has to wear clothes that suit his status.Just like in later generations, if you are not a soldier, but you wear a military uniform on formal occasions, it will always make people feel weird and inappropriate.

Inappropriate in later generations will be discussed at most, but this kind of ancient clothing that does not conform to the regulations is often condemned.

Really troublesome.

Because his family background was just an ordinary farmer's relationship after all, Tian Wen didn't have any extra accessories on him.A pair of white-soled black-faced shoes, matched with the clean attire on the body, is refreshing.

Jian Ping originally wanted to touch Tian Wen's head habitually, but seeing his neatly combed hair, he changed the direction and pinched Tian Wen's cheek in the end. "Our Xiaowen is so pretty, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Tian Wen's requirement for himself is to not make mistakes.But looking at Jian Ping's even less equipped equipment, a bun-like wrinkle appeared on his face.

Looking back at the folding fan on the desk that he brought over before, but was directly rejected by Jian Ping, he was still a little unwilling. "Are you really not going to take it? I think those scholars in the county will take a handful."

Originally, Tian Wen wanted to ask whether it was because the fan was too cheap or something, thinking that if Jian Ping didn't like this fan, the two of them could go to the county seat early and buy a new one.

But Jian Ping really didn't like things, so he didn't give Tian Wen any time to persuade him, and just pushed people out. "Okay, okay, don't you know your husband's personality? That thing is fine for fanning at home on weekdays, but it's too troublesome to take it out."

"Can……"

"Alright, alright, Xiao Hei is getting impatient waiting outside."

Xiao Hei, the donkey in Jian Ping's family.

Tian Wen couldn't persuade Jian Ping in the end, and the two took two bamboo umbrellas and led the donkey out.After going out, Jian Ping carried Tian Wen, who still wanted to resist, directly onto the donkey, and then led the donkey and pulled the 'little daughter-in-law' quickly towards the county seat.

Along the way, Tian Wen's face couldn't be any redder.Then I also started to think about when to get an ox cart or a donkey cart for my family?thing.

Bamboo umbrellas are the latest new products produced by the people of Jianjia Village. The annual green bamboos are used as umbrella handles.The umbrella stand is made of treated tough bamboo strips, and then pasted with a layer of kraft paper. It is not only cool in summer, but also really able to shelter from the rain.

As for why he specifically said something that can cover the rain, it is because Jian Ping has seen many paper 'parasols' in the county.

In Jian Ping's view, the white paper is like something for the dead. After some people draw some pictures on the white paper, it becomes a parasol that is all the rage in Nan'an City.

Things that get mushy at the first sight of water, and things that have no practicality at all, cost more than ten taels of silver.

Jian Ping has a full understanding of the things that people in the city spend money on.

Jian Ping's daily training was not in vain. With his six-pack abdominal muscles and strong body, it only took him more than half an hour to walk the donkey from Jianjia Village to the county town.

After entering the county seat, Jian Ping didn't waste much time and took Tian Wen directly to the county government office.

The emergence of miscellaneous officials is not only to encourage high-ranking folks to promote the development of agriculture and mulberry, but in Jian Ping's view, it is also a means for the rulers of the dynasty to 'collect money'.

Because the stepping stone for miscellaneous officials is 100 taels of silver.

Those who want to be miscellaneous officials should report to the county government and then pay 100 taels of silver as a deposit.Half a year, that is, the assessment period for one quarter of crops.

Passing the assessment is the first step to becoming a real miscellaneous official.If it doesn't pass, then the 100 taels of silver will be regarded as your fee for "playing" with the court.

No matter which aspect you look at, the imperial court is not at a loss.

And paying 100 taels of silver and wanting to assess miscellaneous officials are both considered major matters, so the miscellaneous servants or clerks in the general county government have no right to take over.

It is precisely because of this that Jian Ping and Tian Wen need to see the county magistrate.

Assessing miscellaneous officials, which is located in the middle area between formal and informal, cannot be carried out in the county government hall.So after Jian Ping explained his intentions, the county yamen servants welcomed the two of them into a room in the side yamen.

Before the assessment, Jian Ping was also a scholar, and after the assessment, he was a ninth-rank official, no matter what his status was, he was above the yamen servant.So as long as the other party has no problem with his mind, basically he won't embarrass Jian Ping.

"Jian Xiucai, please wait a moment, the magistrate will arrive later."

"It's work."

After a brief conversation between the two parties, the yamen servant left the room.As soon as Jian Ping sat down, a person dressed as a maid brought two cups of tea.

Tian Wen didn't react when he looked at the handsome maid, but Jian Ping let out a soft 'huh' in his heart.

Although Tian Wen is not sensitive enough to many things, he is definitely sensitive to Jian Ping.As soon as the maid left, Tian Wen looked at Jian Ping curiously.

Jian Ping was a person who would not be happy if he didn't give a shit, seeing Tian Wen's quick reaction made him chuckle directly. "What, are you jealous?"

Tian Wen gritted his teeth, walked to Jian Ping with a smirk, pinched a piece of flesh in Jian Ping's waist with his right hand, and turned around. "Yeah, I'm jealous, I really want to know what brother Jian Ping is thinking!"

Because of the firm abdominal muscles, Tian Wen actually couldn't pinch any soft flesh.In addition, although Tian Wen had a big expression on his face, he didn't actually use much strength.

But even so, Jian Ping still cooperated and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Ouch, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Jian Ping smiled and hugged Tian Wen who was blushing. After all, he was outside, so Jian Ping didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

After helping him to sit on the side seat, Jian Ping smiled and ordered the teacup on the small table between the two chairs. "There are no women in places like the county government."

And the one who can take care of a maid is obviously a rich master.Therefore, the county magistrate here is either a common people, or a person with background and background.

And the county magistrate of Nan'an City was just transferred at the beginning of this year, so there is not much information for Jian Ping to inquire about.

If it's the latter, then everyone's happy.If it's the former, then Jian Ping's desire to become a miscellaneous official may be a little hanging.

Tian Wen was smart in the first place, and after being reminded by Jian Ping all the time, his vision became far-sighted.So after Jian Ping clarified the key point, Tian Wen also wanted to understand the crux of the matter in a blink of an eye.

For a while, Tian Wen also became nervous. "What if... what should I do?"

Jian Ping felt a lot more relaxed at the moment, sat on the chair and picked up the teacup and began to sip slowly. "Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil, let's take one step at a time."

Without a strong background and background, this is the only way to go.

Tian Wen also wanted to understand the key to this, and his face became a little gloomy.The two of them didn't say anything more, because there were already voices of talking outside.

"My lord, people are already waiting inside."

"Ah."

A soft word 'hmm' made Jian Ping frowned slightly.Listening to the voice, I feel that the other person's age should be no more than 30 years old, and it can be heard that the person is calm in just one word.

Come to think of it, the situation shouldn't be too bad.

Jian Ping and Tian Wen stood up and looked towards the door.The door opened, and a man in the county magistrate's uniform walked in with a master and a staff member.

When he saw someone coming, Jian Ping frowned quickly, and before the other party found out, he became a little more respectful.

Tian Wen, on the other hand, stood aside respectfully from the beginning to the end, only took a quick look at the other party when he came in, and then stood aside with his head bowed, not daring to speak.

"My lord." As a scholar, Jian Ping could not kneel before an official, but Tian Wen was not.But now the two sides are not meeting on a formal occasion, so Jian Ping directly opened his mouth to salute, bypassing Tian Wen's hurdle of bowing down.

Tian Wen was really going to bow down, but Jian Ping opened his mouth first, so Tian Wen could only follow Jian Ping's words and bow first.

Originally, he was thinking of waiting for Jian Ping before bowing down, but Jian Ping got straight to the point.

"My lord, Jian Ping, a scholar in Xiajian's Village, came here this time to apply for the assessment of miscellaneous officials." Jian Ping bowed respectfully, but in his heart he was lamenting his own powerlessness in this era.

It seemed that no matter how much he didn't want to, Tian Wen might not be brought with him on such an occasion to meet an official next time.After all, as a modern person, Jian Ping would still find it strange to see Tian Wen bowing down to others.
