Crossing the green wheat ears

Looking at the family members who didn't even look back, and looking at the rooms and courtyards that were swept away, Li Erhu didn't even feel sad anymore, only numbness remained in his heart.Standing alone in the empty yard for a long time.

Until the sun turned to the west, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, Yunlai and Niuniu poked their heads in, and then the brother and sister brought in a food box with hot meals inside, and Li Erhu's heart was restored A little warmth.

That's right, in this world, there is another person who has no relationship with him even though he has no relationship with him. He cares about him. Him, just fine!

After the Li family left, Wan Mingyu's life completely calmed down. Just in time for the increase of books in the Lotus Library, Cheng Nan couldn't manage it by himself, so he planned to add a deputy. .

Wan Mingyu was originally a scholar. She joined the military camp as a last resort. Now managing the library is a return to her old career. Like a fish in water, she found happiness in life with ease.

Those who come to the library to read and borrow books are all students, and those who come and go get acquainted with Wan Mingyu.Chatting and discussing poetry and books together, and occasionally, he would be invited to any party. As time went by, Wan Mingyu made a few friends who got along well.

After taking office, Wan Mingyu devoted herself to book management. Based on the original basis, she refined the book management and borrowing rules, which not only facilitated borrowing, but also facilitated the preservation of books. Readers talk about one or two.

With something to do, and something she likes, Wan Mingyu's whole body is full of energy. Every day, she goes to the library refreshed and happy, and in the evening, she walks home leisurely and peacefully. Qiuyang Wangzhu Xiwei and others walked and chatted together.On the side of the road, the flowers are in full bloom, the willows are in full bloom, the sky is blue, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing, no longer entangled in love and lingering, no longer entrust your life to another person, life, in front of him, unfolds a broader picture , In this world, you can gallop freely and breathe freely.

Due to her early experiences and physical problems, Wan Mingyu only lived to middle age and passed away in her fifties. Before she died, she looked at her children around her and said four words: no complaints and no regrets!

Yes, despite the ups and downs in the early years, the rest of his life was peaceful and leisurely. This has exceeded his own expectations, so he has no regrets.

Seeing Wan Mingyu's transformation, Xiyuan felt very relieved.Soon, however, he had no time to worry about these things.

In the seventh year of Tianyou, among the three candidates in Lianhua Village, Wang Zhu was appointed as the county magistrate of a neighboring county, while Xi Wei and Cheng Nan were promoted to the county magistrates of two remote counties.

To put it bluntly, for the fame of Juren, it is great to be a county lieutenant, but it is very rare to be a county magistrate.

The reason is very simple. In the past few years, with Yansui as the center, including several other surrounding counties, people's living standards have improved by leaps and bounds.

What do you do if you have spare money?In the common people's cognition that has not changed for thousands of years, of course it is to buy land.

The wasteland does not need to pay taxes for the first three years, but after three years, it has to pay the full amount according to the Dayan Law. Therefore, in the past two years, the taxes of several counties have been rising gradually, which is directly reflected in the account books of the Ministry of Households. superior.

The places under his jurisdiction have achieved performance. The county magistrates of several counties, together with officials of all sizes, such as the governor of Binjiang Prefecture, have benefited a lot from the performance appraisal of officials, and they have been promoted.This is a rare event for officials in the Northland. You must know that those who can come to the Northland to serve are not welcomed by the emperor and those in power. It is another form of exile.

What is God You most concerned about now?Of course it's money.Moreover, these northern officials were appointed by the old Yellow Emperor at the beginning, and they really have nothing to do with Emperor Xianzong. Therefore, Emperor Tianyou will be promoted according to the performance award.

Then, just at the end of last year, the officials assessed that one county in Beidi was missing a county lieutenant and two county magistrates were missing.Originally, most of the county magistrates were selected by the imperial court from the Xinke Scholars. However, it is generally believed that the northern land is bitterly cold and life is difficult, so no one is willing to go.The two county magistrates who were successively appointed did not take up their posts with various excuses. The official department had no choice but to ask the emperor for instructions and decided to select talents from the Northland for appointment, and ordered the officials of the Northland to draw up a list of candidates.

Later, several officials in Beidi speculated on the emperor's intentions and drafted several county magistrate candidates. If others may not know why the several counties in Binjiang Prefecture developed, they, the beneficiaries, are very clear.

Where is their ability and brains? This is developed by the people themselves, and it is a spontaneous behavior. As long as they are officials, they just need to do nothing to govern.

The best developed one in Binjiang Mansion is of course Yansui, and the best one in Yansui is of course Lianhua Village. If we look more closely, oh, Lianhua Village still has three Juren!

The county magistrate Yan Suiyuan knew these three candidates very well, and they were all outstanding talents in the local area. Therefore, he tried his best to recommend them to the magistrate. As a result, Xiwei Chengnan Wangzhu was on the candidate list, and was lucky to be promoted. For the county magistrate and county lieutenant.

"Brother, I don't want to go!" Xi Wei has been clinging to his brother ever since he received the order, not wanting to go one by one.

Xiyuan: ...

Did he succeed in education or fail?The two younger brothers, whether Wei Cheng or Xi Wei, need to be talented and capable, but it is these two younger brothers who would rather throw away all their abilities than leave home.

I don't know how many people are envious of being recommended as the magistrate of a county, but Xi Wei muttered that he just didn't want to leave home.

"Let's go, there will always be something worth remembering in your life." Xiyuan stroked his head lying on his shoulder, and said earnestly.

In fact, he couldn't bear his brother being too far away from him, but, think about it, Xi Wei is different from him, and shouldn't be buried in the grass all the time, accomplishing nothing.

"Brother!" Sivela called his brother in a long voice, and Xiyuan persuaded him for a long time. Although he agreed to go to the post, his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Why don't I go with you, I'll come back when you settle down." Xiyuan also couldn't bear to part with his younger brother, and when he thought of Xiaowei living alone in a completely strange place, he felt uncomfortable.Therefore, he decided to send his younger brother there in person, instead of seeing it with his own eyes, he would have to worry about it day and night.

"Really?!" Xi Wei didn't get bored with his brother now, his face was full of excitement, and he began to start the itinerary with great interest.

Xiyuan: ...

A few days later, Xi Wei left for his post. The family members, including grandparents, saw him off one way after another. Grandma and Xiyuan's mother kept rubbing their eyes.

Xiyuan and Xi Wei explained and explained to them, guaranteed and guaranteed, and in the end, Xi Wei was about to swear that he would go home every year to have a look.

The Dayan Kingdom has relatively loose holidays for officials, allowing officials in other places, who are more than three hundred miles away from home, to have one month of family leave every three years.

Anqing County, where Xi Wei is going to take office, is [-] miles away from Yansui. Except for the three-year holiday, it is also possible for Xi Wei to come back every year.

"No, it's very cold in winter, so you're not allowed to run back and forth." Grandma was reluctant to return home, but she still didn't want her grandson to run around on the road in winter, that would be a lot of trouble.

Saying goodbye to their families one by one, Xiyuan and Wei Cheng set off with Xiwei.

Why, Wei Cheng also followed?

Of course you have to follow.

Ever since Li Erhu and Wan Mingyu had been a good couple, living together and breaking up, Wei Cheng began to cling to Xiyuan, not to mention walking step by step, it was about the same.

Now that Xiyuan has been away for several months, leaving Wei Cheng at home, he doesn't even think about it.

Xiyuan knew that the matter of those two people had touched Wei Cheng a lot and made him feel uneasy, so he didn't even mention asking Wei Cheng to stay at home this time. Fortunately, Xiyang is at home and can take care of the family well. Big or small.

In addition to personally escorting Xi Wei, Xi Yuan also picked and picked other entourages for Xi Wei, and brought Shuan Zi and Li Dong, who are the most powerful in the family.

How precious Xi Yuan is to Xi Wei, from these two people, we can get a glimpse of it.

The distance of seven hundred miles can be reached in a few days if you only ride a horse. However, because you have brought your family, the journey is much slower.

Da Mao followed his father to his post. He was very excited at first and couldn't sit still in the carriage. He wanted to be hugged by his elder father and his second father for a while, so that he could enjoy the joy of riding a horse.

When Wei Cheng became interested, he led his horse and galloped for a while, and Da Mao would howl happily.

However, he pestered Xiyuan and Wei Cheng, but he didn't dare to pester Xi Wei. His father was very strict. If he got annoyed, his butt would have to be in close contact with his father's slap. Da Mao was very conscious, so, He resolutely rejected the matter of Xi Wei holding him and riding a horse.

The brothers beat their horses and whipped their whips, and arrived outside Anqing City on the afternoon of the eighth day.

As soon as they arrived in Anqing County, before Xi Wei officially took office, let alone Xi Wei, even Xi Yuan and Wei Cheng were dumbfounded.

how?

After entering the territory of Anqing, how did Xiyuan understand it now, or else, how could such a big pie fall from the sky, how could Xiwei, a man, be expropriated as a county magistrate!

This Anqing County is not ordinary poor!

Thinking back to when I just crossed over, Lianhua Village and Yansui were poor enough. Now, compared with the Anqing County in front of me, it really pales in comparison!

How can poverty be like this!

The sights he saw along the way gave Xiyuan a great shock, completely beyond his imagination.

Xiyuan is like this, let alone Xi Wei, only Wei Cheng, who walks and sees a lot, is a little bit better, but when it comes to his own brother, his heart is also suspenseful.

How can such a place be governed? !

What kind of poor way is it to put the brothers of the Xi family into such a place?

For example, the county government office where the county magistrate lives should be relatively good. However, the house behind the inner house is not allowed to enter. It looks dark, so you just need to hug him inside. , Da Mao was so frightened that he burst into tears, crying so hoarsely that he was terrified.

My own children are not timid.

Xiyuan and the others felt uncomfortable seeing their child cry. Before their baby was born, the family conditions were already very good. They have been growing up in a good environment. How have they ever seen such a dilapidated residence!

"Don't hold the baby inside, anyway, it's not cold now, tell Da Mao to sleep in the carriage at night, and see if there is any other way." Xi Yuan was helpless.

"Brother, why don't you wait until you and your second brother go back and bring Da Mao back to your hometown!" Da Ni burst into tears. Although she was reluctant to part with her son, but seeing the current situation, she had to reluctantly give up. The child is here, and I don't know No matter how much you suffer, as a mother, how can you not feel distressed.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Xiyuan didn't know what to do, and he had already started to regret asking Xi Wei to take up the post.

There is nothing cheap in the world, and it is not fake at all.

In the evening, a group of people lit a fire in the yard and set up several tents that they had brought before departure in case of emergencies, so they could make do and rest in peace.
