While he was looking at the empty grassland in the north in a daze, he saw a few people strolling over slowly. A young man in the lead smiled at him and said hello, "Are you Mr. Wen?"
"I'm just a scribe, but I'm not an adult. Are you businessmen from out of town?" Wen Chengxu saw that several people were dressed like merchants, but they didn't look like they were looking for work.
"Wow, there are so many sheds, how many cattle and sheep can they hold?" A little yellow-haired girl looked at the vast sheds and marveled, "Why are there not even a single sheep?"
Wen Chengxu said in his heart, are you asking me? I still want to ask you!
"We haven't arrived yet. I heard that there is heavy snow in the north this year, so maybe the roads are difficult? If you are merchants selling cattle and sheep, you have to wait a while." Wen Chengxu said.
"Where is Monk Huiwu?" the young man asked.
"Oh, Master Huiwu has led his troops to patrol. There are always small groups of bandits wandering around these days. They may want to steal food. Hum! If anyone dares to steal a grain from me, I will take the big guys with me. Risk your life with them!" Wen Chengxu said.
"Yeah, we've heard about it too. I've sent people out to clean it up. Don't worry." The little girl said something shocking.
"Ah? You came with soldiers? Who are you?" Wen Chengxu was shocked.
"What do you think?" The little girl smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
Besides Duan Linger, who else could be this little girl with such a pretty smile and such a loud tone?
"Chengxu, you did a good job. Keep working hard in the future." He reached out and patted Wen Chengxu on the shoulder. The person who spoke louder than Duan Linger was naturally Xiao Chen.
"After traveling through so many cities, I have never seen such a serious county official like you." Tie Kunlun on the side also nodded in agreement.
"Chengxu did a good job indeed. The project has achieved such great results in just a few days, but it is beyond my expectation." Fu Yan said in a loud tone.
"This gentleman, you are..." Although Wen Chengxu didn't know anyone, he could tell that Xiao Chen was the boss.
"I'm Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen said, "Let's go inside and talk."
"Okay, please...who are you?" Wen Chengxu's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
It was Xiao Chen who supported him, "Are you overworked these days? I see that you don't look too good either. If you are good at it, go back and take out some of your tiger bones and stew them for Chengxu. body."
"You, you, you, you are Governor Xiao Chenxiao!" Wen Chengxu knelt down directly, "This villain is really blind. He didn't know that you, the old man, are here. This, this... this is really a crime worthy of death!"
"Get up quickly. Don't catch a cold in this cold weather. If you fall ill, who will do the work for me?" Xiao Chen helped him up personally.
"This, this, this, Governor Xiao, haven't you had breakfast yet? I'll ask someone to arrange it. There's nothing to eat here, only dry biscuits and dried meat. How about we go back to the city?" Wen Chengxu asked everyone to come in. He sat down in the simple wooden house, but jumped up again as soon as his butt touched the chair.
It was said that he had never seen an official as big as the Governor in his life, let alone a legendary figure like Xiao Chen. He was a little flustered for a moment and didn't know how to receive him.
"Don't bother, just eat whatever you have. Come and tell me about the situation. Are there any difficulties?" Xiao Chen casually picked up the white dried meat that had been soaked in the water bowl on the table and chewed it.
"Governor Xiao, the villain is guilty. The villain is not the magistrate of Bailongcheng County!" Wen Chengxu knelt down again.
"Oh? What do you do?" Xiao Chen also expressed surprise.
Wen Chengxu hurriedly briefly explained his situation to Xiao Chen. It was not that he knew the law and violated the law, but he was really unaccounted for in the county government, so he boldly took action, but he never dared to call himself an official... …
"Oh...that's it." Xiao Chen suddenly realized, "What kind of crime is this? I can just get away with it, but you, the county magistrate, can't do it."
"Governor Xiao is wise, thank you very much, Governor Xiao!" A big stone suddenly fell to Wen Chengxu's heart, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
Ang was finally freed.
"If you can't be a county magistrate, just be a state magistrate. The situation in Yanbei Prefecture is not very good now. I'm worried that no one will take care of it for me... You don't have to go to the prefecture city. Bailong City will be designated as a prefecture in the future. City, your state government is located here, and you will be responsible for this trade market in the future." Xiao Chen said.
ah? As soon as Wen Chengxu got up, he knelt down again.
"Chengxu, unless this governor is cruel, in fact we can't find many talents like you in Yanyun County now, so we can only put all these important responsibilities on your shoulders, especially in this trade market. I have managed the business well, it is related to the survival of our Yanyun County, but there can be no mistakes."
"Governor Xiao, I am just a scholar. He has only been a scribe for a few years. I really can't take on the post of state official!" Wen Chengxu kowtowed and said, "Please appoint another state official. As for the specific ones, The affairs can be left to the villain, and I promise to risk my life to handle it for you, Governor Xiao!"
"Are you stupid? You're not willing to give me an official title!" Duan Ling'er laughed. Seeing Xiao Chen glaring at her, she hurriedly said, "Then you guys can talk, I'll go for a walk, these guys You're so clumsy, you killed a few bandits and didn't come back for a long time..."
He slipped away muttering to himself.
"Get up and talk. Since you don't want to be a state official, then you can be a county official first... you can always act as the chief registrar, right?" Xiao Chen was bargaining with him.
"That little guy can still do it even if he tries hard." Wen Chengxu was overjoyed.
He didn't even dare to think about it, but he could still do the job of chief clerk. If he did well, he might be able to become a full-time official!
Then he will also be an official of the imperial court in the future!
Guangzong Yaozu.
He was very eloquent when it came to specific matters, and he kept talking for more than an hour without any intention of stopping.
Mainly because there are too many things and he has a lot of ideas.
He was so meticulous in his work that he even thought about how to deal with the excrement of cattle and sheep.
Cow dung and sheep dung are both good things. They can be used to make fires to keep warm in winter. After soaking for a long time in winter, they can also be used as fertilizer for fields in spring...
In addition, the cows will definitely produce a lot of milk after picking up the lambs. Milk is easy to spoil and can freeze into lumps in winter. If the weather gets warmer, it cannot be stored for even one day.
Then it is best to make dried cheese. This kind of dairy product can be stored for many years and is very nutritious. It can be used to fill your stomach if there is another war or disaster in the future.
In fact, in northern tribes, these dried milk are considered military rations.
In addition, I heard that their tribe will not only bring a large number of cattle and sheep, but also a lot of furs, medicinal materials, dried mushrooms and so on?
These things cannot all be stored here, they must be transported quickly, which requires many, many large vehicles. It is snowy in winter and it is difficult for horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts to move. It is best to have camels...
