The best ring

Chapter 197 County Magistrate Guo

"You go and clean this place first." Wu Fan said to those people after leading them back to his house.

Those people who had just been bought immediately went to clean up the house after hearing Wu Fan's words. Their hands and feet were more diligent than the other. They all came from poor backgrounds, so these tasks were naturally familiar to them. Moreover, this was the first order of their new owner. , the new owner is still watching, no one dares to be lazy, otherwise, if they are evicted, they may starve to death on the streets.

"Captain, are these your servants?" Niu Er came over covered in dust and said.

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded, and then said to Niu Er: "Leave this place to them. You guys go to the camp and pick up the three brothers in the camp. I have promised to let them stay here and help me. I’ll take care of the house. In addition, I’ll buy some food and let’s celebrate here tonight.”

"Okay." Niu Er agreed with a smile on his face: "Captain, you are such a good person."

After saying that, Niu Er and several other people in the team took the money given by Wu Fan and went out.

Wu Fan smiled and said nothing.

Qingyuan County, county government office.

Guo Ziming put down the brush in his hand and looked at the calligraphy he had just written, with an expression of satisfaction and contentment on his face.

"Your Excellency's calligraphy level is even higher. From my point of view, even if the calligraphy sage Wang Yunzhi of the previous dynasty is reincarnated, his level may not be more than this." The housekeeper, who had been standing aside for a long time, quickly put on Magistrate Guo's coat and said Flattery said.

"I'm far behind Wang Shusheng, no comparison, no comparison." Guo Ziming waved his hands and said, but the complacency on his face became more and more obvious.

"Your Excellency, you are humble," the steward said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Guo Ziming said: "I asked you to hand over the house deed to that Wu or something, have you given it?"

"Give it." The steward said, "Sir, his name is Wu Fan."

"Yes, Wu Fan." Guo Ziming said angrily: "I really can't figure out why the court would make such a big-headed soldier a baron. Isn't this an insult to his noble status? How many words does he know? How many poems can he do? Poetry? How many songs do you know? He's just a country idiot! He's lucky enough to get such a generous reward for killing a rebel, even a knighthood."

Guo Ziming's tone was a little sour.

As a scholar, he was appointed as the county magistrate at the age of forty after ten years of hard study and many years of hard work. In his heart, he looked down on those soldiers. In his heart, soldiers were all A group of barbarians who don't understand etiquette. Such people are only suitable for fighting on the battlefield. They should have no place in the court. What national affairs do they know? Giving them power will only harm the entire Yanfeng Kingdom. A group of people who only know how to fight and kill without using their brains are not suitable for high positions.

And now, the imperial court actually made a big-headed soldier a baron, which made it even more difficult for him to accept. You must know that being promoted to an official position is the dream of countless scholars, and they are all working hard to achieve this goal. However, it is difficult to rise to an official position. It is even more difficult to obtain a title. Except for the descendants of some of the founding heroes in the early years, very few people can obtain a title nowadays.

And now, a big soldier has become a baron. Although it is only the lowest title, it is also a title and a nobleman. It is what Guo Ziming dreams of. He has worked hard for so many years but has not been able to obtain it. It's strange that a person who doesn't like it feels better when he gets it.

Therefore, Guo Ziming, who originally looked down on those soldiers, had an even worse impression of Wu Fan.

Therefore, when he prepared a house for Wu Fan as a reward in accordance with the above requirements, the house he chose was a house that had been abandoned for many years and was even somewhat dilapidated. More importantly, the former owner of that house had committed a crime. As a result, the house was confiscated and the whole family was exterminated. This house has been vacant since then. The dignitaries in the county felt that the house was unlucky, so no one had ever tried to take advantage of the house. This time, Guo Ziming simply turned it over. Gave it to Wu Fan.

Anyway, it was mentioned above that Wu Fan would be given a house, but there was no stipulation as to which house it would be. Wasn't he the one who had the final say on the specific house to choose?

Moreover, if a scholar is granted the title of baron, Magistrate Guo will definitely show his kindness by sending some gifts or servants to help him settle down as soon as possible.

However, he had no such thoughts about Wu Fan. In his opinion, associating with Wu Fan would be a loss of status, and he didn't bother to do it.

"Sir, do you want to cause some trouble for him?" the housekeeper asked.

Guo Ziming thought for a while and said: "It's better not to have any contact with them for the time being. Just pretend they don't exist. These big-headed soldiers are full of mush in their heads. It doesn't make sense to argue with them. If you mess with them, it's easy to get into trouble. However, , be careful with them, if they do too much, let them know who is the master of Qingyuan County! "

"Yes, sir, I know what to do." The butler said respectfully.

Guo Ziming doesn't have much interaction with Wu Fan. In his opinion, people like Wu Fan are not worth getting to know, but there is no need to offend them. It is best not to interact with each other.

Of course, if Wu Fan tries to challenge his authority in Qingyuan County, then Guo Ziming will never be polite.

It has to be said that there is strength in numbers. Wu Fan's house is not small and there are many places that need to be cleaned. However, under the cleaning of the forty servants, they were all cleaned up in less than half a day. The house has a brand new look. Although there are still some areas that need to be repaired, on the whole, it is completely habitable. As for local repairs, it can be done slowly.

In the evening, Xiao Liu came back with the siblings, and Niu Er and others also picked up the three seriously injured people, and also bought a lot of food, as well as supplies needed for living in the house, and even , he also purchased a plaque on his own initiative, with the word "Wu Mansion" written on it, and hung it at the gate as soon as he came back. The whole house suddenly seemed more imposing.

Everyone has returned, and Wu Fan's residence has become lively.

While everyone was having their first meal here in a lively manner, Wu Fan returned to his room and told no one to disturb him. In fact, he returned to reality.

As for Wu Fan's behavior, no one suspected anything. Wu Fan was the head of the family. It was normal for him not to eat with his servants, and the servants could not disturb the head of the family casually.

These are the rules and they understand them.
