Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

Xu Qingcheng didn't refute, because his father was right, in the village nowadays, taking two people to live for one night is not a meal.After all, there are not many families in Baihe Village who can eat enough.

"Go and give half of the fish in the pot to your Aunt Mo." Xu Yingle pointed to the dishes that were heating up in the pot. Today, the village asked the innocent boys to catch the fish, and he would take advantage of those who caught too much. Bought a small one back.

This is also a rare time to get a little dirty.

"Okay." Xu Qingcheng swiftly divided half of the fish out of the pot, took the plate and went to the next door.

……

Tang Zisheng had been chatting with Uncle Mo about the affairs of Cang'er County. On the way, Uncle Mo's two sons also came back from outside. Aunt Mo immediately came out of the kitchen with vegetables and started eating when she saw that the people had come back.

Not long after the dishes were served, the outside door was knocked again. It was Aunt Mo who opened the door. Relying on his good eyesight, Tang Zisheng saw some clothes of the people outside the door from a distance, as if they were Xu who had just led them down the mountain. brothers.

They didn't talk at the door for long, when Aunt Mo entered the room with a plate of food, with a bigger smile on her face than before.

"Come on, come on, this is the fish sent by Brother Xu next door. Today, our family is still blessed by two young people."

Aunt Mo put the fish in the middle. She said this on purpose, just to let her two boys not ignore the meat.

Tang Zisheng didn't expect Brother Xu to bring food over. This is a debt of favor. After the county handover takes office, he may need to think about how to repay the favor.

-

At the beginning of Mao.

Tang Zisheng and Tang Mo huddled together on the same bed and slept soundly. Before they expected it, there was a slap on the door. Tang Zisheng woke up earlier because he pretended to be troubled before going to bed and felt shallow.

When he got up to open the door, Tang Mo also got up in a daze.At this hour, if the servants in the Tang family were not on duty at night, they would still be fast asleep.

"Aunt Mo, is the bullock cart in the village leaving?" Tang Zisheng looked at the slightly bright sky, which meant that it was early morning in summer. If it was winter, he might not be able to see the road even if it was still dark.

"Yes, brother Xu is already waiting outside, the two younger students hurry up and clean up, otherwise the ox cart will be full and leave later."

Aunt Mo took the time to call for help. Not many people in the village spent money on ox carts to go to the county.But once you spend the money, you have to carry several bags of things on the car.

Waiting for things to fill up the gaps in the bullock carts, it's not that there are a few more vacancies when people are crowded.

"Hey, thank you auntie." Tang Zisheng packed his things immediately, and Aunt Mo also prepared the water for washing his face.

Tang Zisheng scooped up the water in the wooden basin with his hands and washed his face, then took the wicker handed over by Tang Mo, brushed his teeth thickly with the water, and brought Tang Mo with his burden Go out the door.

Compared with the slightly tired faces of Tang Zisheng and Tang Mo, Xu Qingcheng was used to it, so don't be too energetic when you come here.

"Brother Xu, please come again in the morning."

"No matter where, everyone has a difficulty when they go out, and it's just a matter of raising one's hand. Don't worry about it, Mr. Tang." Xu Qingcheng said that he wanted to help get things from Tang Mo's hands.

"Brother Xu, I can handle this thing, you don't have to worry about me." Tang Mo tightened his grip on the things in his hand.

"Well, Brother Xu, you can just lead me the way. I'll carry all the heavy things, so don't bother." Tang Zisheng was carrying two big bags in his hands, and he was actually a little bit sore from walking all the way yesterday.But it must not be too far to go to the village, so why bother others.

Seeing this, Xu Qingcheng gave up, and then walked ahead to lead the way for the two of them. Baihe Village is not a big village, and walking from Xu Qingcheng's house to the entrance of the village takes half a cup of tea.

At the entrance of the village at this time, the old man who used his own ox cart to do soliciting business during the slack season had already been waiting. Today's luck was bad, and none of the people who went to the county came.

"Uncle Zhang, these two young masters are going to the county, so it's cheaper for you." Apart from Xu Qingcheng's somewhat unpopular reputation in the village, everyone gets along fairly well on weekdays.

The old man Zhang, who was driving the car, was looking at the two strangers getting into the car, and wanted to make a fool of himself.But when Brother Xu said this, Old Man Zhang stopped thinking about ripping off, "Okay, for Brother Xu's sake, each person counts as two pennies."

Siwen walked half an hour's journey, Tang Zisheng was quick to pay, he was used to the days of developed transportation, as long as he was not really at the end of the mountain, he didn't feel sorry for the money for the car ride.

"Brother Xu, aren't you going?" The old man Zhang received the money, and the smile on his face deepened. On weekdays, he went to the county to sell grain, and if he didn't receive a few bucks, he would be piled up in grain pockets. It's full, if it doesn't pull food and people today, this old cow must go faster on the road.

Xu Qingcheng waved his hand, how could he take a car to go to the county, "I don't have anything to do in the county recently, just come to see these two young masters off."

Old man Zhang took advantage of the bright sky to take a look at the two younger children who were sitting in his ox cart. Among them, the older one was really handsome.

Did Brother Xu fall in love with him?

"Mr. Tang, I won't send you to the county. Uncle Zhang will drive to the county later, so I'll go back first."

Xu Qingcheng knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, so he had better go back earlier before anyone in the village came to bump into him, so as not to be in vain.

"Well, I'm here to thank Brother Xu. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can find me in the county."

Tang Zisheng originally wanted to go to the yamen to find him, but it might not be good to reveal his identity. "Brother Xu will go to the county to find out my name, and he will know where to find me."

Xu Qingcheng felt that Mr. Tang's words were very strange, but when he met Tang Zisheng's serious eyes, he felt that these words did not seem to be evasive and deceitful words, so he believed them in his heart, "Okay, Qingcheng will not be polite if there is a need in the future. "

Tang Zisheng watched Brother Xu leave, and before he could look away, he heard the old man sitting in front of him say, "Young students have taken a fancy to Brother Xu?"

"My young master and brother Xu are innocent, don't talk nonsense." Tang Mo defended the master, and knowing that such gossip would be troublesome if the old man in front of him passed it back to the village, so he went to his family first. The young master denied it one step at a time.

The old man Zhang smiled, "I'm not a gossip in the village, I just want to remind the younger generation, brother Xu's temper is arrogant, I think the younger generation's family background is not bad, if you like Xu brother, don't even think about marrying him as a concubine , it is absolutely impossible for others to agree."

"thanks for reminding."

Tang Zisheng sighed. In ancient times, in addition to the respect of etiquette, the right marriage is also a top priority. The old man was afraid that he would fall in love with Brother Xu, and felt that Brother Xu's identity was not worthy of being his wife, so he turned a corner to remind her What about him?

But he didn't show any eagerness either, it's just that it's too childish to talk about marriage after meeting twice.

At this time, people came over one after another, so old man Zhang stopped talking with the two young men in the car. It would be bad if people listened to them.

As for Tang Zisheng and Tang Mo, after waiting for the people in the car to get together, when old man Zhang drove the car to the county, they looked at them like monkeys being treated as jugglers.

The people in this car should all be from Baihe Village, and it is probably curious that these two unfamiliar faces mixed in.

Fortunately, the clothes Tang Zisheng and Tang Mo were wearing looked like wealthy families. These people only dared to look at them secretly, and no one spoke to them.

The ox cart was walking slowly on the road, Tang Zisheng carefully looked at the environment belonging to Cang'er County, and wondered if the little knowledge left in his stomach could make Cang'er County better in the future.

After half an hour.

At a glance, Tang Zisheng saw the three big characters written on the plaque on the city wall, Cang'er County.

The county is much more majestic than the towns that Tang Zisheng passed along the way. Although the city walls outside are not as good as many counties in Nanzhou, there is still a wall that can isolate the flames of war.

If Cang'er County really encounters wars in the future, this city wall can also be used as a barrier to block it.

After the search at the gate of the city, old man Zhang parked his car at the corner of the city, told the people in the village when he would go back, and then sat on the empty ox cart to sleep by himself.

Tang Zisheng and Tang Mo got out of the car with their bundles, inquired about the location of the county government office, and hurried to the county government office.

"Young Master, did Master Du lie to us? He clearly said that the official position sold to the Young Master is a good place to go. But I see that this place is much worse than that in Nanzhou." Tang Mo was worried, and he must have said this on the way It took a long time.

"You just believe what he says, so do we still need to come from Nanzhou?" Tang Zisheng laughed at Tang Mo's youth. This is a classic act of painting big cakes. Not going to the north, "But it's okay. Although it's a little poor here, there are no bandits, and the folk customs are simple. It's really a good place to settle here for the rest of your life."

Tang Mo nodded half-understood, but Tang Mo didn't understand the others.But the Tang family knows the word banditry very well.

Master and Madam died because of the banditry in Nanzhou.If not, the young master of his family would not have to change his property and buy an official to leave Nanzhou.

From the city gate to the yamen, Tang Zisheng did not spend much effort. The appearance of the county yamen is not too different from what he saw in TV dramas before. It may be public property. The yamen here is Tang Zisheng who entered Canger County. After seeing the best building.

"Hey, what are you doing, the county government is an important place for the government, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at will."

Tang Zisheng didn't even finish walking up the steps, so he was scolded by the policeman on duty at the gate of the yamen.

Naturally, Tang Mo couldn't bear it, "My young master is..."

"I'm here to report to the officials." Tang Zisheng covered up Tang Mo's words loudly. Anyway, he was also going to be the magistrate, and now he had to test how the team was.

"Report to the official? Which sub-officer to report to? The new county magistrate has not yet taken office, and every case has to be postponed. If it is not a case of human life, please go back first."

The policeman was obviously used to dealing with this kind of reporter, so he blocked Tang Zisheng's excuses in a few words.

"What if it's a case of human life?" Tang Zisheng continued to ask.

The policeman didn't expect that this person would continue to pester him, so he immediately leveled his eyebrows, "Where did someone die, and how did he die? If I wait to find out that he was not killed, you kid is also a deceitful officer!" The crime, think about it before you talk."

Tang Zisheng glanced at his subordinates calmly, and moved his hands behind his back. Tang Mo immediately sent the letter of appointment that he had prepared a long time ago to the young master.

"It is indeed a serious crime to deceive the official, and there have been no murders recently."

Hearing what Tang Zisheng said, the policeman smiled on his glaring face, and he was quite sensible, "If you have nothing to do, then hurry up, this place is not a place for you common people with the surname Bai to take you."

"What I just reported to the official is false, but this time I came to the county government to do some important things." Tang Zisheng saw that the policeman was about to speak again, so he continued without stopping, "I didn't come to report to the official. I'm here to take office."
