As a military general, when had Liao Yongzhong ever been given such a high title by a scholar?
Even when I feel a little embarrassed, I feel light and airy all over. That feeling of comfort is self-evident.
It's just that I'm still thinking about that question, but my tone is more polite than before.
"Lord County Magistrate, where is the health center here?"
What is a health center?
The Weisuo system was first proposed by Zhang Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs in the Yuan Dynasty, but it was later used by Lao Zhu after he ascended the throne.
Because Zhang Chang often missed Yuan Ting, he was killed.
Each guard post is affiliated to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and is also affiliated to the Ministry of War.
If something happens, he will be dispatched to the army; if nothing happens, he will return to the guard station.
What will you do after returning to the guardhouse?
Answer: Farming.
This is what Lao Zhu said: "I can raise millions of soldiers without costing the people a grain of rice."
Although the health center system was relatively rotten in the later period, it is still good now.
"Master Marquis, we Zhuang Lang, there are only more than a thousand people in the entire county. Leaving aside women, children, the elderly, and children, there are only six, seven, or a hundred people."
"Where is the guardhouse?"
"The guard station established by His Majesty is naturally empty now, just waiting for immigrants to come from other places..."
In other words, Zhuang Langwei only has one name now.
There was another moment of silence.
Gu Chencai said: "Mr. Wen, I will go and settle these chickens and piglets first."
Wen Zhihui nodded quickly. He had already noticed the beasts brought by the magistrate.
I thought it was going to be given to the common people, but I didn’t expect that you are planning to raise it yourself?
Gu Chen temporarily placed the chickens and piglets in the backyard of the county government office.
This place was originally intended for the county magistrate's female relatives to live in.
Isn’t this true?
Just a temporary place to house these little guys.
However, most of the house still has to be kept for Lao Liao's adopted sons. He feels secure having them living in the same courtyard with him.
"Xiao Anzi, go and cut some grass and come back and feed them."
"The grass you give to Piggy must be boiled before being given to them."
After finishing the explanation, Gu Chen walked around the county government office.
There are few people here and the land is huge. There is no house within more than ten miles outside the county seat.
Gu Chen didn't show any pretense, he immediately circled a piece of land and drew a simple drawing.
Then he handed the completed drawing to Wen Zhihui.
“Here, I’m going to build a pig pen and a chicken pen.”
"Please help me find someone with quick hands and feet. I'll give you twenty cash a day, and you'll get three meals a day. At least one meal will include meat and oil."
"Please build it for me as soon as possible and put this notice up."
Wen Zhihui did not expect that when Xinzhi County took office, he would assign two tasks to himself without taking a break.
He looked down at the notice and was even speechless: "We are recruiting two female workers to cut grass and feed chickens and pigs. They will pay ten cents a day for food, and two female cooks will have food for themselves..."
"My lord, my lord, you..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll take care of it now."
Although he felt that the adults were putting the cart before the horse, how could he do such things all the time?
Is it possible that we shouldn’t first look at the county’s population, then ask about the county’s account book output, then look at the case files, and finally care about these little things?
Moreover, the government officials are idle when they are idle, so there is nothing wrong with helping to take care of the poultry.
Why spend money to hire someone?
However, it is a good thing that people can earn more.
This time, Gu Chen's wife brought him seven or eight hundred guan of treasure notes, saying that the poor family had a chance to make a fortune, and since His Highness the Crown Prince gave him, he was not short of money.
But he also knew that in a place like this, it was rare that you didn't have money.
What’s rare is that you have money but no place to spend it.
In modern times, he had a senior brother who was idealistic when he was young and just graduated, and wanted to do something meaningful.
So I went to a very remote place to support teaching. I won’t mention the specific place.
All I can say is that it is very difficult to deliver it by express delivery, and only one express delivery company is willing to do it.
Just after graduating from undergraduate degree, his salary was 5,000, and everyone was envious of him at that time.
But the senior brother soon regretted it, because there was no place to spend his salary.
There is only one canteen within a few hundred miles, so what’s the point of having a lot of money?
The most important thing is that his parents are thousands of miles away, and he can't go back to fulfill his filial piety. He is already very old and has not even married a wife.
Even if you ask him to stay there forever, he won't be willing to do so.
Let him come back and he left the children in that place again.
Could not bear!
That's why Gu Chen walked along this road, constantly buying food, poultry, and all kinds of useful supplies.
Otherwise, when the time comes, it would be too troublesome to have to go all the way if you need something.
Don't be afraid to spend money.
Because he can also write to Biao'er and ask him to reimburse him.
You asked him why he didn't go to Lao Zhu?
Nonsense, that Biao'er is naturally easier to talk to than Lao Zhu.
If you don't ask for someone who's nice to talk to, but if you ask Iron Rooster for it, do you think he's a fool?
In Fengtian Hall, the father and son who were discussing something all sneezed together.
They couldn't help but gather their clothes. It wasn't autumn yet.
Why do you feel a little cold?
Xiao Anzi followed Gu Chen in a joking manner.
"I remember a few months ago, my master told me that if I didn't do anything as an official, it would be better to go home and raise pigs."
"I didn't expect that in just a few months, the master would actually come back to raise pigs."
This kid couldn't help but knock on the pot, so Gu Chen couldn't help but knock him on the head.
"Too many words, let's go see if the Marquis has packed up."
"Eh."
Xiao Anzi was about to go, but after taking a few steps, he fell back.
"Sir, why are you recruiting women? Men can't feed chickens and pigs?"
His master is engaging in sex discrimination?
"Are you stupid?" Gu Chen said speechlessly: "Men are here to do this work. Can we still do the work in the fields and open up the wasteland?"
With such an IQ, he is still a royal guard. Can someone named Mao know how to choose someone?
Or do you think you look down on yourself and deliberately put a fool next to you?
All the smart and clever people got around those big fish?
There were three dishes in total for dinner, boiled radish and scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, plus a plate of roasted rabbit.
Liao Yongzhong took people to hunt rabbits, and these people had to eat meat every day.
There was also a bowl of millet for each person, which Gu Chen and the others bought in various prefectures along the way.
Millet rice costs two cents per pound, which is almost one cent cheaper than white rice.
The eggs were brought by Wen Zhihui's wife, saying they were a gift for Gu Chenxin's appointment.
Although the Cheng family in Wen County is better off than other families, it is really not much better.
I don’t know how long it took to save such a basket of eggs.
His wife was thin, her complexion was sallow, and her skin looked very rough.
No need to ask, you know life is hard.
Fortunately, my wife didn't come, otherwise I don't know how she would have endured it.
She has lived in a honeypot since she was a child, so she feels aggrieved coming here.
"Oh, it's so frustrating."
While eating, Liao Yongzhong couldn't help but drop his chopsticks and said gloomily.
"I just went to the street to look for alcohol. I wanted to buy a drink, but I didn't expect there was even a liquor store."
If he had known earlier, he might as well not have gone to His Highness the Crown Prince to ask for this job.
Staying in the capital city, although you may receive some neglect, you can still have wine, meat, and beautiful women. Isn't it better than this place where birds don't poop?
"Master Marquis, you want to drink?" Gu Chen saw that he was depressed and said with a smile, "I'll brew it for you later, and I'll keep it for you to drink enough in a few months."
Gu Chen's attitude towards his security captain was still very gentle.
"Can you still make wine?"
"hold head high."
"That's it, as long as you have wine to drink." Liao Yongzhong felt better after hearing that there would be wine to drink in the future: "The wine brewed by you literati must be delicious."
Gu Chen smiled and said that after drinking his wine, he would have to work for him.
night.
Because Liao Yongzhong brought fifty-three brothers to this place, and the county government was small, he felt wronged and slept with Gu Chen together.
This man's snoring was so loud that Gu Chen couldn't sleep well all night.
No, if the yamen is not expanded, a special house will have to be built for this guy to live alone.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he will die suddenly because he cannot sleep.
