The cottage building is modeled after the county seat of Lingquan County, with four main streets in the southeast and northwest.

The intersection center of the four streets is where the government office is located. This layout is also suitable for cottages.

Although there is no official government in Shanzhai, Shanzhai also has a Shanzhai Yamen. The Yamen also has a boss (staff officer Zhong Jian), an inspection (inspector), a third class (banding), and a jailer (prisoner).

As for the six houses, it is even simpler. They are not called six houses, but called chiefs, such as chief of staff, chief of households, chief of rituals, chief of soldiers, chief of executions, and chief of work.

Since there is a county magistrate in Shanzhai, with three classes and six rooms in Shanzhai, it is natural that there is also a Yamen in Shanzhai.

Naturally, this copycat Yamen is also in the middle where the streets converge, but its name is not Guanfu, but Zhongyi Hall.

He strictly implements a strict hierarchy here. He is the king of this village and is sacred and inviolable.

His son is the master of the young village here, equivalent to the prince.

The chief secretary (staff) is the prime minister here, and his status is only that of the second village leader and the young village leader.

Major matters in the village are usually discussed between the village owner and the chief bookkeeper.

However, the cottage is not a big deal. At most, it is a matter of county-level government and defense.

The six chambers (six chiefs) are the Shangshu of the village, each performing their own duties.

Among the six commanders, the soldier commander has the most power, and there is a battalion of soldiers and horses in the village.

After that, he is the head of the household, in charge of money and food, etc., and there are thousands of guan huizi in a year.

The Li Chief is a scholar who has passed the examination. He is a mountain chief and a teacher.

Students are usually the children of the village owner, chief secretary, sixth chief, and occasionally a few businessmen's children.

Of course, it is impossible for the untouchables in the village to study. It is already good to be able to support themselves.

Naturally, the treatment is strict. The chief officer is given five loads of rice, the sixth officer is four loads of rice, the officer commander, fire chief, and chief officer are given three loads, two and a half loads, and two loads of rice respectively, and the village commander is given one load of rice.

The third is the Chief of Prisons, who is in charge of punishment and prison cells, making the people fear him.

The foreman is responsible for building fortresses and ditches, and his status is of course the lowest.

If the harvest in the village is good, rice will naturally grow. If the harvest is bad, other grains will grow.

Everyone, including the villagers, felt that they were superior to others in the village.

This is because they don’t have to live like untouchables walking over the mountains with their faces turned to the sky and the sun all day long.

These people became Huang Zhizhao's supporters and resolutely followed Huang Zhizhao's instructions and arrangements.

He has basically stabilized people's hearts, but he is still not at ease.

Huang Zhizhao spent a lot of effort and had to put himself in the safest position.

Shanzhai Yamen has the highest terrain, where you can observe the surroundings and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Not only are the Shanzhai Yamen and Shanzhai soldiers and horses here, but also the residences are here.

Therefore, the leader of the village, Huang Zhizhao, was also called the leader of Zhongyi Hall. He had staff, three teams and six rooms under him, which made him very unhappy.

In the eyes of Shanzhai villagers, Shanzhai is very powerful.

The population is 10,000, the land is 100,000 acres, and there are village officials and soldiers.

Only Huang Zhizhao knew that there were only about 5,000 villagers in the village, only 20,000 to 30,000 people in the farmland, and the rest was under development.

But the common people don't know. They only know that the terrain of the mountain village is dangerous, that there are officials and soldiers (although they belong to the mountain village), and that they usually live in the mountain village and feel safe.

In order to ensure the safety of the Shanzhai government, Huang Zhizhao built a wall around the Shanzhai Yamen.

There are enough food, grass and weapons inside, and the wall is three feet high. It is also on a hillside, with only steps to go up, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Huang Zhizhao planned to retreat to the Yamen of the Shanzhai for defense even if the gate of the Shanzhai was breached.

His defense system is really good, especially against barbarians with cold weapons. It is very effective and impregnable.

If the security team fights him openly, he will most likely take the people hostage and come to the government to fight.

As for outsiders, except for common people and businessmen, he resolutely refused to let them in.

The people are his subjects and hostages, and the merchants bring him the commodities and silver he needs, such as intoxicating spring breeze, fine wine and jade liquid.

Of course, he will also arrange for personnel to screen common people and traders, and only allow those you need to enter the village.

It was just unexpected that the security group did not attack directly.

What does this poor village like him? Of course silver and copper coins.

Hearing that merchants came up the mountain to buy monster yam, he hesitated at that time.

After all, there were too many vendors this time, which made him feel a little unprepared.

He discussed it with his staff, who thought for a while and came up with a solution.

That is, traders are not allowed to trade within the village, they can only trade outside.

Still uneasy, the village leader personally and his staff led one hundred and fifty villagers to defend the city walls and gates.

In this way, the risk has been reduced to the lowest and controllable level, and it is basically foolproof.

However, he never expected that there would be so many people digging for monster yam that he could only purchase a small portion that day.

Unexpectedly, the vendor asked the villagers to go down the mountain to sell monster taro.

In the face of huge profits from traders, Huang Zhizhao has no other effect except intimidation.

In fact, their long-term propaganda has been effective. More than 95% of them dare not go down the mountain, and only three people went down.

Although I don’t know what the consequences will be if these three people have gone down the mountain, they are already prepared for the villagers to rebel.

Could it be that this is the pure vase of Guanyin Bodhisattva, but it is many times smaller than the pure vase.

What exactly is it?

Mrs. Lin carefully took it and took a look. It turned out to be a small bottle. She didn't know what it was.

Lin Changfu pointed at the cork and said, "You'll know when you pull it out."

Mrs. Lin's wife gave Lin Changfu a confused look, hesitated a few times, and finally opened it.

A faint scent of chrysanthemum emerged from the bottle, immediately prompting a knowledgeable exclamation: "Flower Fairy Pollen."

There are also fragrant powder shops in the village, but they are few. After all, the women in the village are too poor.

Lin Changfu had a proud smile on his face and thought to himself, Madam, I finally give you pollen.

The regrets of this life are now finally made up for.

But just as his smile bloomed, pain followed.

The crisp sound of "papa" spread everywhere, making people around him stunned.

Your official is so kind to you, even buying you the most expensive flower fairy, and even giving the official a slap in the face.

Not only was Lin Changfu stunned, but the women around him were also baffled.

Some women even thought that Lin Changfu also had a woman. If he didn't have a woman, I would be willing to marry him.

I don’t know whether men in the world buy flower fairy pollen for women, but almost no men in the village have bought it.

This is simply the best man among women. I don’t know why Mrs. Lin still beats him.

The Lin family lady held flower fairy pollen in one hand and pointed at Lin Changfu with the other and reprimanded: "You used the copper coins to buy the flower fairy, but what about Lin Si? Do you want him to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"

After hearing this, everyone felt sorry for Lin Changfu, but also felt that he was not worthy.

Indeed, you want to please your wife, but what about your own son?

Thinking of this, everyone including Yin Meifu was thinking, should I buy this Flower Fairy Gouache or not?

If you are an unmarried woman or a woman with young children, you think you should buy it.

In their eyes, an official should buy these for his wife. This is a symbol of the official's strength and love.

But in the eyes of women and men whose children have grown up, this flower fairy really shouldn't be purchased. After all, the son needs money to marry a wife.

Lin Changfu knew that the slap he received was in vain. Who allowed him to show off?

If the lady doesn't think about her family, how can she slap herself in the face?

He took out a bunch of copper coins and handed it to Mrs. Lin's wife, saying flatteringly: "The money is still here."

"Papa", unexpectedly, it was another slap in the face.

Mrs. Lin threw the coins and the Flower Fairy bottle to him and said, "I was wrong. I didn't expect you to be such a person."

After saying that, she covered her face and ran back home.

Everyone originally envied Lin Changfu very much, but they did not expect that Lin Changfu turned out to be such a person.

At this time, all the copycats, including men and women, looked at Lin Changfu with disdain.

Our village is poor, but we are so poor that we have ambition.

No matter how poor you are, you are not far from being poor.

Seeing everyone's contemptuous looks, Lin Changfu became anxious and said loudly: "Madam, this flower fairy was rewarded by Master Wang."

"Master Wang, come here and tell me, otherwise I can't explain clearly." Lin Changfu turned to Wang Yunhua and said to Wang Yunhua as he was about to cry.

The big man with a beard kept bowing to everyone and asked to borrow money from everyone.

When everyone saw that it was the merchant leader, they all gave way.

Wang Yunhua saluted Madam Lin and said, "Madam Lin, Mr. Lin has the courage to go down the mountain. This is our reward. You can use it."

"No matter how heavy the reward is, you can't reward it with Flower Fairy gouache. This is worth one tael of silver. It's too expensive. No way, I'd better return it. I really can't afford it." The Lin family's wife stopped her words directly.

Everyone couldn't help but lament that the woman didn't want to break her head trying to use such expensive flower fairy gouache.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family's wife was so courageous and returned directly.

Although many people feel it is a pity, more people admire Mrs. Lin very much.

After all, not all women are willing to return the flower fairy gouache they got.

"Madam Lin, how can you take back the flower fairy after you have given it away?" Wang Yunhua laughed loudly, shaking his hands and said, "Besides, Mr. Lin is not only a workshop craftsman, this flower fairy gouache was also made by Zhaojiazhuang."

"What craftsman? What kind of craftsman does Zhaojiazhuang make?" Mrs. Lin's wife asked curiously.

"Zhaojiazhuang makes flower fairy gouache, nectar and jade liquor, drunken spring tea, fairy charcoal, fairy stove, etc. Lin Si and Yin Jiu also came to the workshop and will work in the workshop next time." Wang Yunhua said to the Lin family's wife .

Mrs. Lin's wife looked at Wang Yunhua with suspicion. She couldn't have tricked her son and nephew into going down the mountain.

She stepped forward and waved to Yin Jiu and Lin Si. The two looked at each other and nodded.

After the two came over, Mrs. Lin asked kindly: "How much did they give you and how big is the workshop?"

The official was bribed by the other party, and she could only find out from her son and nephew.

"I have a monthly salary of about three thousand dollars, and the workshop has about a hundred acres." Lin Si said to his mother.

"It's only three years, and the salary is not much." The originally happy Lady Lin couldn't help but frown.
