Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

"come yet?"

"Still still."

Early in the morning, the entrance of Wujia Village was crowded with people, and Village Chief Wu stood at the front, his two thick eyebrows almost knitting together.

It has been ten years since Tong Ran went to work in the county. Yesterday, the county sent a message that the newly appointed Tong Tiangan would come to their county for inspection.

There was only one thing Tiangan came to their village to do—to collect grain.If there is not enough food, it will be robbed.They planted two crops of grain every year, and the field came twice, and the rest of the time they couldn't think of them at all.

They have all seen this Tong Tiangan, and many people have eaten his buns.The last time he came to the village, everyone thought that a wealthy young master came, but in the end it turned out to be the newly appointed Tian Jian.

"We probably annoyed him last time, and we don't know what Tong Tiangan's temper is like." Village Chief Wu was worried.

A woman led the child forward: "If Tong Tiangan is still angry, let him spread it on me, so as not to implicate the people in the village."

"Mother Akou, don't do this," Village Chief Wu said.

The woman turned her head and couldn't help but her eyes were red.

The villagers waiting at the entrance of the village fell silent.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, what are you crying for? Get out of the way." Two yamen servants came out of nowhere, and impatiently drove the villagers away like flies, and pasted a big notice on the notice board at the entrance of the village.

"what is this?"

"What's written on it?"

The oppressive atmosphere was swept away, and everyone rushed to see the notice.

After looking at it, they couldn't read, and they had to wait for the village head who could read to translate for them.

"What's written on it?"

"The village head quickly read it to us!"

"Didn't the rent increase again?"

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!"

Village Chief Wu hurriedly finished reading it. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Could it be that his old eyesight was dim and he misread the words?

He hurriedly turned his head and yelled, "Where's Qu Erlang? Quickly call him over, call him over!"

Qu Erlang is the only one in the village who can read and write.When Village Chief Wu yelled, the others also yelled for help. Qu Erlang was right behind the line, and quickly squeezed through the crowd to catch up.

"You, you... Come and take a look." Village Chief Wu's voice trembled a little, pointing to the newly posted notice.

Seeing the village head like this, Qu Erlang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly read the notice.

"What's the matter?"

The illiterate farmers were also a little anxious, they had never seen the village head like this.

Could it be that this Tian Yan is exceptionally powerful, and he was wronged by them last time, so he intensified his efforts, completely refusing to give them a chance to survive?What can they do? They are still counting on more rain this year so that they can have a bumper harvest.

"Well, is this really from the county?" Qu Erlang read it with disbelief on his face.

The hearts of the villagers in the back fell to the bottom of the valley. The village chief and Qu Erlang had seen it, and they still had such disbelief expressions. Now, dig a hole in the ground and lie down.

The two yamen servants who put up the notice were still there, and when they heard Qu Erlang's question, they acted as if they hadn't understood him, and said fiercely, "Is there still a fake?"

"Yes, yes, no fake, no fake, how can the things sent by the elder brother be fake!" Qu Erlang said, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably grinned to the ear, and he turned his head and said to himself, "My mother! , how could such a good thing happen!"

"Qu Erlang, the village head, what are you talking about?"

The villagers discovered that the village head and Qu Erlang were actually laughing when something bad happened. The way of laughing during the New Year's harvest must not be because the content of the notice is so powerful that it drove them crazy.

The villagers rushed forward when they were in a hurry, and the two yamen servants were still there. When they were rushed by the crowd, they immediately changed their faces, and slammed their swords out of their sheaths: "Be quiet, everyone, back up, back up!"

The blade glistened in the sun, and the villagers didn't dare to push any more. They all stepped back two steps, leaving an open space with a radius of two steps around the notice board.

Village head Wu and Qu Erlang hadn't recovered from their senses when the yamen servant standing on the right side of the notice board suddenly stepped forward and said, "Every one of you, isn't it just a notice, I'm here to read it to you!"

As soon as the yamen servant spoke, the audience fell silent.

The yamen servant didn't think it was a pest, and read at the top of his voice: "Speak to the villagers of Wujia Village. After understanding the situation, the rent in this county is too high, which makes the tenants overwhelmed. From now on, the rate will be reduced to [-]% of the harvest. This year, the rain is difficult and the barley harvest is declining. All the tenants in this county will be exempted from the rent this year. In addition, in order to improve the living conditions of the tenants, the county has decided to distribute one piglet and two hens to each household. We hereby inform you. Tong Ran, Tiangan, Guo County."

Free rent?

Only pay [-]% in the future?

Piggy?And hens?

Is this pie in the sky? ?

The villagers of Zhongwujia Village looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly today, and there was no cloud in the sky, so they didn't intend to make a pie.

Their whole village is official tenants, and they have no land of their own. They have worked hard all year round, and most of them have been handed over to the county.Even in a disaster year, the only food they have left will be confiscated by the government.

The government did not dare to bully the peasants who own the fields arbitrarily, but dared to oppress them from time to time.They are also farmers, and their lives are a hundred times harder than others.No one has ever spoken for others, and no one has ever sought even the slightest benefit for them.

But what happened today, good things come in pairs, not in threes!

"Amitabha, Amitabha, the Bodhisattva has manifested!" An old woman with a rosary plopped down and kowtowed to the west.

"What kind of Bodhisattva, Tong Tiangan won it for you!" Another yamen servant said, "You still don't have a good idea to thank Tiangan, what kind of Bodhisattva are you worshiping?"

"That's right." The yamen servant who read the notice agreed, "If there is no Tong Tiangan, where would such a good thing come from."

These two yamen servants have worked in the county yamen for many years. I think they had a rank when they were young and strong. They happily became yamen servants in Xiaoguo County. Served as an official.

But the dream was shattered within a few days. The county magistrate Deng of Xiaoguo County was not doing business.As yamen servants, they have to do some dirty work for him. After working in the past few years, the righteousness of the yamen servants has not increased as much as that of a pig slaughterer.

Today, for some reason, County Magistrate Deng agreed to many measures from the newcomer Tian Tian, ​​and they also received the good job of posting notices.

Just now, they actually felt the infusion of righteousness in the path of conscientiousness. Although it was just a little bit of mosquito leg, after so many years of being government servants, they finally felt a little like being officials.

Village head Wu recovered from his ecstasy, and read the notice aloud again, but the villagers already knew about it, and at this moment they all started talking about it.Village Chief Wu didn't care, and asked the two yamen servants again: "Dare to ask the official, it was rumored that Tong Tiangan is coming today, but when will he arrive?"

Village head Wu was still a little excited, and his hands trembled subconsciously when he spoke.

"We set off at the same time, Tong Tiangan and the others are a little slower, they should be arriving soon," said the yamen servant.

"Hey." Village head Wu didn't dare to be wordy, so he responded quickly, and ordered someone to bring tea to the two yamen servants, "You two have worked hard, let's drink some tea."

The two yamen servants were not polite, took the big bowl of hot tea, drank it in one gulp, wiped their chins and said: "My brother's task is completed, take my leave." After finishing speaking, they turned and left.

"Let's go, two masters." Village Chief Wu said.

He noticed that the two men did not ride horses, but came on foot.Since they came here on foot, why hasn't Tong Ran, who started at the same time as them, arrived yet? Could there be some accident on the way?

bah bah bah.

Village Chief Wu really wanted to slap himself, but he couldn't say such bad words, and he couldn't even think about it. God rewarded them with such a good field. If something went wrong, they would have a hard time in the future.

"Come here! Come!" Yan Shishi ran back from the corner in front of the village entrance and shouted: "Tong Tiangan and the others are here! What a big battle!"

When Yan Shishi yelled like that, the crowd at the entrance of the village became commotion again.

After a while, I saw dust flying, and the sound of mighty footsteps came from around the corner.

"Tong Tiangan is here, hurry up and greet him!" Village Chief Wu said.

Tong Ran hugged the little tiger and was sitting in a small green cloth sedan chair. He was talking to the little tiger when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering voice from outside: "Welcome, welcome, welcome!"

what's the situation?

Tong Ran hurriedly called to stop the sedan chair, opened the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that all the familiar faces from Wujia Village were gathered at the entrance of the village.

As soon as Tong Ran appeared, the village head quickly turned his head to signal, and the villagers who greeted him at the entrance of the village knelt down one by one, and shouted in unison, "Welcome Tong Ran Tiangan to Wujia Village."

There were at most fifty people at the entrance of the village, but everyone roared with all their strength, and the sound was so loud.

The little tiger's fur stood on end, and it burrowed straight into Tong Ran's body.

It hears people shouting long live every day and has never seen such a big battle. Is this a villager?This is the army!

Tong Ran also came with several yamen servants and clerks who did some clerical and miscellaneous tasks in the county. These people had never seen such a scene, and they were all petrified.

After shouting welcome, Village Chief Wu took the lead and said, "Thank you Tong Tiangan for your great kindness, the people of Wujia Village will never forget it."

The villagers shouted again without hesitation.

Tong Ran couldn't stand listening anymore, and hurriedly waved his hands, asking the yamen servants to help him up: "Get up, everyone get up and talk, okay, okay, I understand, you guys get up quickly."

Tong Ran was about to cry helplessly, who knew they could make such a big show.

"Tong Tianwan," Village Chief Wu stood up, and burst into tears again when he saw Tong Ran.

Tong Ran's heart was full of alarm bells. He didn't want to comfort the old man who was overly surprised, so he quickly pointed to the pile of piglets and hens he brought behind him and said, "These piglets and hens are all given to Wujia Village by the county. , It’s important to share it with everyone first.”

"Yes, yes, it's divided." Village Chief Wu was so excited that he could hardly tell the difference between south, east and north. He looked in the direction Tong Ran pointed and saw that the piglets and hens in a cage were all alive. Yes, pigs and chickens crowed one after another.

Village Chief Wu rolled his eyes and pouted.
