Reborn the wonderful life of ancient times

Although the accompanying sergeants were all in plain clothes, such a large team rarely came from Yanshan County, and the gatekeepers couldn't help cheering up. If it was done, these uncles might give some rewards.

You say to blackmail?Come on, these people are all burly men. All the servants in my yamen add up, that is 30 people. They are not enough to give people a gap in their teeth.

The two trotted over, flatteringly: "Gentlemen, I wonder if the younger ones can help you?" Looking at the "tsk tsk" they are wearing, it is really hard to compare people, and you have to throw away goods.Zhu Rui shook his head, and An Le stepped forward and said: "The newly appointed county magistrate, Mr. Zhu, is here, please lead the way to the yamen." The two of them were startled, and hurriedly cupped their hands in salute: "I have seen you, my lord, please follow us Come." While walking, he murmured in his heart: This grown-up looks more majestic than his predecessors, how long can he stay in this poor mountain valley? "

The streets in the county are even worse. The stone houses are tall and short, and they are not neat at all.On the street where it is difficult for two cars to move, there are only a few elderly people squatting, looking at a few children with drooping heads. After walking the whole street, they only saw two or three small shops open.

In the middle of the street, I finally reached the county government office.Compared with ordinary houses, the county government office looks a little tidier. In mountainous areas, there are many stones.The stone-built houses don't look old, but the thatched roofs are so tall, which shows that the place is in disrepair.There is no gate in the courtyard, just a wall surrounded by stones. When you walk in, there is no one in the dilapidated courtyard. Also, in the lobby without a door, the plaques that say honesty and honesty are crooked.

The two yamen servants coughed and said: "My lord, wait a moment, we will go and call everyone back." Call back?Zhu Rui hurriedly asked: "Is there anything going on in the yamen? Do you want to send everyone out?" The yamen servant said awkwardly: "No, my lord, there hasn't been a single case in our yamen for ten and a half months. Everyone can't eat enough. Looking for work?" He coughed again: "It's like this, the people are too miserable, not only there is no tax, but our salary is owed, there is no way, no matter when it is on duty, everyone finds some work to subsidize the family. "

Now that everyone has learned a lot, the majestic government officials still have to go out to work. How poor is this Yanshan County?

The two of them walked for a while, when a small official with his official hat crooked came running out of breath, bowing to each other as he ran, "No------sorry------ah, My lord, the official is late." Sitting in the car, Lin Zimo looked through the crack of the door, and saw that this man was in his thirties, with fair skin, a slight beard, and a straight face. It's the same thing, but there are also two patches discounted on the county magistrate's robe.

Before Zhu Rui could answer, another group of yamen servants ran in, and they all tidied up their clothes as they ran. It was obvious that they had just changed into them. After looking around, almost everyone's clothes had patches on them, but they looked neat and clean. It is carefully preserved.

When everyone saw Zhu Rui and his party, they quickly lined up and bowed to salute: "The subordinates are all Yanshan county government servants and have met the adults." Zhu Rui didn't want to be harsh, and raised his hand in a pleasant manner: "Everyone, get up, This official is new here, so please help me a lot." Everyone didn't even dare to say it, but looking at the entourage of this lord, they knew that they were older than the previous few, and even the accompanying subordinates were dressed in silk and satin. It makes people feel ashamed, do you know how long this adult can stay?

The county seat stepped forward and said: "Xiaguan Zhengcheng, the county magistrate of Yanshan County, has seen your lord, please come in and rest in the inner yamen." Zhu Rui nodded: "I will freshen up and come to see you. Today is the first time I have taken office. God, don't leave everyone at night, I treat you to guests."

Lin Zimo smiled, Zhu Rui didn't look like he had ever been a magistrate, but he seems to have adapted well, knowing that after taking office, he should win over the feelings of his subordinates first.

Lin Zimo and the children didn't get out of the car, turned around the front office, there was a small alley next to it, just passed a carriage, and reached the entrance of the back office.Lin Zimo got out of the car with the children, Zheng Cheng hurriedly came up and introduced: "The door next to the gate of the rear yamen is the second courtyard of the grandfather's house, and the small courtyard next to it is for the family members of the subordinate officials." , I think the grandfather has brought a lot of people, and this second courtyard can't hold it." Looking around, pointing in the opposite direction from his house: "It used to be the courtyard of other officials, but in our county, only the lower officials support it." I'm busy, so most of them are idle, I just need to ask everyone to clean up by themselves."

Zhu Rui nodded, it was convenient for the people he brought to live nearby.Except for the more than 20 people who were waiting close by, everyone went to the nearby yard.Everyone was about to go in when a girl came along, "Hey, this is the new lord, I'm being polite here." Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo turned around and saw a handsome woman in her 20s walking over, covered with Although the satin clothes are half new, they stand out from the crowd.And obviously she can walk normally, but she has to twist her waist and come over, seeing Zhu Rui who is the leader, her eyes are bright, Lin Zimo can't help frowning, this woman looks like a girl who has lost her foot is greeting people , and not yet of high quality.

Zheng Cheng, the county magistrate, was embarrassed, and introduced: "Grandpa, son, this is my wife." No one introduced Lin Zimo, and he didn't know who this man wearing a curtain hat was?The title of son should not be taboo.Zhu Rui nodded coldly, not intending to introduce, turned around and led Lin Zimo and the children into the yard.Women like this, there are not one thousand in the palace, there are eight hundred, all of them are high-end methods, Zheng Cheng's women are far behind, lazy to take care of this kind of women, and even the favorability of Zheng Cheng will also drop Quite a lot.

The house is simple, stones can be seen inside and outside, and even plastering is saved.However, for them who have lived in exquisite houses for a long time, it is not fun.The four An Le commanded the crowd, some used the snow wave paper they brought to paste the walls, some swept the dust and wiped it around, and Xiao Yan asked people to find the kitchen to clean up, boiled a pot of boiling water, and made it ready for Lin Zimo and the others. Tea.

There were so many people and quick hands. An hour later, the room had changed drastically, and the two even took the children to take a nap.When Zheng Cheng came to invite him in the evening, he couldn't believe his eyes: the rough floor in the living room was gone, replaced by Persian peony flower carpets covering the room, and more than a dozen rosewood official hat chairs were placed on it. ;The dark walls were replaced by a layer of snow wave paper, making the pasted room look like a snow cave; the screens separating the inside and the outside, and the antiques and jade ornaments placed on the extended shelf, Zheng Cheng has never seen before. Seeing it, I was dazzled all of a sudden, put away the contempt in my heart, and became more careful: "Master, the people below are ready, please move." Thanks to the elder, someone took the polished rice white flour Countless, he also bought a fat pig with the people nearby, and even his family was spoiled, and was given a big piece of fat by the elder's people, so the children in the family can satisfy their hunger.

Zhu Rui nodded, and confessed to Zimo across the screen: "Zimo, I'm going out, you and the children can eat by themselves." Lin Zimo agreed, and Zhu Rui stepped out.

Lin Zimo and the two children ate a little. Zhu Hui and the two were exhausted from the journey. After sitting for a while, they started to feel sleepy little by little. Zimo hurriedly carried them to rest. .This time, because the road was too far away, except for two women who were in charge of washing needles and threads, all the others brought by the mansion were men, and even Zhu Hui and Zhu Ze were accompanied by two young servants of seventeen or eighteen years old. Therefore, Lin Zimo devoted himself to everything, but he was afraid that if the man was careless, he would not be able to serve the two children well.

The welcome banquet was a success, and everyone came to work the next day, because Zhu Rui promised that he would be responsible for everyone's salary.At noon, Zhu Rui brought over a 30-year-old man with a white face and a slight beard. He was gentle and held a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a master on TV.Sure enough, Zhu Rui introduced: "Zimo, let's get acquainted. This is Wang Zhi, the master I have been using all the time. Master Wang, this time he came here with the guards to help me with some things." He turned his head and said: " Master Wang, this is my gentleman, Zimo." Both parties saluted, and Zimo said: "Master Wang, if you need help, just ask."

Master Wang covered the astonishment in his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, my lord, I will not be polite to anyone who needs it." There have long been rumors in the army that this lord is not only capable, but also has amazing beauty. Look, sure enough, if he hadn't been so steady, he almost lost his composure on the spot, and couldn't keep his old face.

Several people sat down in the living room, Zhu Rui frowned: "The situation in Yanshan County seems to be more troublesome than what I heard, most of the people can't even keep half full." Master Wang said: "Yes, In the past few days, I visited the ground and found that there is too little land that can be cultivated, and most of the land is not good, and the grain that has been harvested has paid taxes, and there is basically nothing left.”

Lin Zimo was also listening. This is a typical mountain area, and the land is not fertile. If you want to improve it, you can only engage in local characteristic breeding or planting, but there is no on-site inspection, so it is hard for him to say now.

Those two discussed various political affairs for a while, and then Master Wang left. Zhu Rui temporarily arranged him to another vacant courtyard.Zhu Rui walked over, hugged Lin Zimo to sit on his lap, and rubbed his tender face with his chin: "Is there any good plan for Zimo?" During this time, he kept the children with him, and during the day, the time spent together decreased greatly.

Lin Zimo raised his head, and "kissed" Zhu Rui on the lips: "It's hard to say for the time being, I haven't seen the actual situation, and I'll talk about it when the world sees it tomorrow." I couldn't help but feel great, and rubbed my ears with Lin Zimo: "I, Zhu Rui, must have done a lot of good deeds in my previous life, so I can meet such a good partner as Zimo in this life."

While they were being sweet, Zhu Hui ran in with Zhu Zefei. Seeing the appearance of the two fathers, he couldn't help covering his eyes with his chubby hands. Zhu Ze behind him also covered his eyes with his hands, but he still showed One, looking around, couldn't understand what happened.

Lin Zimo stood up quickly, and Zhu Hui yelled: "Father, Dad, you are too much, isn't this making my brother and I have needle eyes?" Zhu Rui laughed and patted his son on the shoulder: "Good boy, you Don't say you can't see it, and come to laugh at your fathers." Lin Zimo blushed a little, and when he saw the sweat on the two children's heads, he hurriedly called Xiao Yan: "Twist a wet cloth to wipe the children's sweat. .”

He also told the servants who followed: "An Shan, An Chen, you must remember to keep an eye on the two young masters at all times, if they sweat, wipe them off immediately, and let them drink more water and eat more fruits." He took the cloth towel from Xiao Yan and wiped it for the two children.

The boys hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Wang Jun."
