Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 246 Helping others and saving points

  It was noon, and every household in the village raised cooking smoke. The blue-gray cooking smoke and the white snow formed a sharp contrast, and gradually the smell of rice permeated the whole village.

  Looking at the yelling and disappearing bear boy, Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, then got off his horse, led the horse into the village, and stepped on the snow with a "cracking" sound.

  This village is not as large as Xiahe Village, with only thirty or forty families. Zhu Pingan led the horse and walked along the narrow path of the village, and knocked on the door of a house that had swept away the snow.

   "Who is it?"

   There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and a man's voice asked from the yard, the voice was deep and rough.

  Zhu Pingan patted the snow on his body, and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm a passing student, and I want to borrow a bowl of hot water."

  As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the gate of the yard was opened, and a sturdy, dark-skinned, rough man appeared at the door, dressed plainly and shabby, and his shoes were covered with mud.

   "Excuse me." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands slightly, with kindness on his face.

"No, it's nothing." The dark-skinned man was overwhelmed by Zhu Ping'an's handcuff, scratched his head and said, "If you don't mind, let's have a light meal together, the child's mother is just right Cooked rice."

   "Thank you, brother, I will excuse you." Zhu Pingan thanked again.

  A dark-skinned man in his thirties helped Zhu Pingan tie the horse to the cowshed, and filled a broken basin full of the cattle's fodder for Shamat Heima.

   It can be seen that this is a simple and kind family.

  However, this dark-skinned man seems to have a disability on his left foot, and he walks with a limp. It is not clear whether it is a congenital disability or a recent injury to his leg. It's just that the man seems to be very calm about his legs, without any secrets, and his face is full of positive and masculine expressions.

  The children in the family were curious about the arrival of the guests, so they quietly poked their heads from the house to see what the guests looked like.

  Unexpectedly, when he saw Zhu Ping'an, the child was in a bad mood. He shivered, pointed at Zhu Ping'an and yelled. "The monster is coming."

   "You child, what are you talking about." A woman's voice came from the room, and then the child was pulled into the room, as if to teach him a lesson. The bear child screamed from the beating.

Uh

   What a coincidence, when the child was watching at the door just now, Zhu Pingan recognized it. This child was the leader of the bully "robbery" who stopped in front of his horse at the entrance of the village.

   "This kid is talking nonsense, brother, don't take it to heart. Go into the house." The dark-skinned man said something to Zhu Ping'an with some embarrassment, and invited Zhu Ping'an to go inside.

  The room was a bit dark, and it took Zhu Pingan two or three seconds to get used to the light in the room. The furnishings in the room were very simple, but very clean. There was a hostess in the house who was busy clearing the table. Although she was dressed plainly, she still looked pretty. This dark-skinned man was quite lucky.

  Although the hostess was a bit pretty, it was nothing to Zhu Pingan, who was used to seeing the evil and troublesome level of Li Shu, a black-bellied girl. The heart is like still water.

  The man watching Zhu Ping'an on the side saw that his favor for Zhu Ping'an rose a lot instantly, unlike some people whose eyes turned green when they saw their daughter-in-law.

   "I'm sorry, my wife." Zhu Ping'an slightly arched his hands.

   "Is there any trouble?" The hostess waved her hand indifferently.

   "He's a harpy."

  The brat on one side pointed at Zhu Ping'an and yelled, and it was about to **** off the demon.

   "Why are you so ignorant." The hostess pulled the brat, and was about to slap the brat on the leg.

   "Don't blame him, I said it when I was joking with them at the entrance of the village." Zhu Pingan stopped and explained.

   Zhu Pingan had his own way to deal with the brat. He took out a handful of jerky from his pocket and coaxed the brat into calling him brother. As for the harpy or something, he had already forgotten all about it with a mouthful of jerky.

  The food of this family is very simple. The dishes are home-made pickled radishes, which taste good. Especially with millet porridge, Zhu Pingan drank two big bowls.

   When the meal was almost finished, the door of the man's house was kicked open roughly, and about five or six people rushed in aggressively. In the yard, they were yelling and cursing at the top of their voices.

   "Yang Dacheng, get the **** out of me."

   "Cripple Yang, hurry up, the county magistrate distributes the corvee according to the scale book, it's your turn to repair the Great Wall."

   "Hahaha, it's okay if you don't want to go. I heard that you are handsome like a parent."

  The man who was eating in the room heard the words, pressed his chopsticks on the table, gave Zhu Pingan an apologetic look, and then rushed out of the room angrily.

   "Don't deceive others too much!"

  Yang Dacheng went out of the room, grabbed the shovel placed in the corner, and stared angrily.

   "Hahaha, Cripple Yang still dares to do something. It seems that he didn't learn enough from the last lesson."

   "Why, don't you want the other leg?"

  Yang Dacheng's actions not only did not intimidate the people dressed as servants in the yard, but made them laugh out loud.

   "Hey, what are you talking about. We are all on official business, don't be so rude, we must treat each other with courtesy, understand, how many times has the county magistrate said it."

  In the courtyard, a middle-aged man preached to several guards. This man was well dressed, and he was still wearing a long robe. He seemed to be of unusual status. But the long one doesn't dare to be flattered, with a mustache, wretched and wretched, looks like a fine weasel, it's not a good bird at first glance.

   "Yes, yes, Huang learned a lesson."

  Several guards nodded and bowed to this man, as if they were looking forward to it with yellow accumulation.

  Saving points is a kind of position in the county government. It is not even an official, but it can barely be regarded as a respectable person. Although the county yamen is inconspicuous, it is also complete with five internal organs. The daily office of the county yamen also has six offices: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers. The functional organization of the Liufang county government is equivalent to a modern department, with one **** in each room, and its staff are called "save points", "book officials", "book offices", "book servants", "subordinate officials". ", all positions are full, and the hierarchy is strict.

  Although the magistrate is said to be in charge of the county government alone, the magistrate is one person after all, and it is impossible for one person to manage the civil, criminal, commercial and other matters in the entire county in an orderly manner. Therefore, the county magistrate needs a lot of helpers. With the assistance of Dian Shi, the official affairs are distributed to the six servants, who will handle the details, and the county magistrate will take charge of the overall situation. Although these subordinate officials did not have a formal establishment, and the national treasury would not grant them salaries, they were recognized by the court because they were responsible for the affairs of the county government. These people have no salary, but they have real power. For profit, they will make full use of the power in their hands, take bribes, extort money, and exploit the lower class people.

This Huang Zandian is just a member of Hufang, that is, a staff member. The reason why Huang Zandian can get such a position is also because he is still a scholar, and it is precisely because of his status as a scholar, so In addition to the household book, he is the only one in the household, and he can barely be regarded as the second in command in the household. The household house of the county government is also in charge of the "fish scale atlas", the inventory of money, grain and land, etc., and is responsible for collecting taxes and silver, paying grain and paying taxes, distributing corvees, etc. Huang Zandian can still speak in these aspects.

   Most of those who have read the books of sages cannot be sages.

  Since entering the fat job of household housing, this little life has been much more nourishing, and my personal hobbies have been fully utilized.

   Actually, Huang Cuan doesn’t have many hobbies, just two, one is to help others keep money, and the other is to help others take care of their female relatives.

   It’s not enough to refuse to help, Huang Cuan is a bit particular, so don’t be polite to me, or I will be rude to you.
