Dressed as the head of the lazy village

Chapter 8 The Fall of Sweet Pole Village

For a moment Wang Dawei didn't know how to evaluate Gu Shi.She and Brother Cheng are both poor people after all.

Sweet Pole Village was not a lazy village from the very beginning.

In the earliest days, when Wang Dawei's great-grandfather was elected as the village head, Tiangan'er Village was still a very normal and ordinary village.Because of the unique water and soil, the sugarcane grown is extraordinarily sweet, so it is called Tianganer Village.

Wang Dawei's great-grandfather and grandfather were indeed good village chiefs. They were wise and led the villagers to grow sugarcane and squeeze juice to sell to restaurants in the county. A rich village has the most expansive land.

However, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses.When the prestige of the Wang family and the income of the village reached a peak, it was also a huge pressure for the successor village head, Wang Dawei's father, Wang Chengdong.

Wang Chengdong's talents are limited, and he can't surpass his father and grandfather to lead the villagers to a higher level. On the contrary, he often makes mistakes in decision-making.Everyone expected too much from him and gradually became disappointed.But Wang Chengdong himself didn't want to lose the reputation of the old Wang family, so he worked harder to help the villagers, and he would try his best to satisfy everyone's wishes.

The structure of Tiangan'er Village is quite different from other villages, it is a village with mixed surnames.It's not like most people in other villages have the same surname, which is passed down from one ancestor.

Therefore, there is no ancestral hall, no clan, no clan rules in Tiangan'er Village, and the people in the village are less awed.

In ancient times, clans were very powerful, sometimes even overriding the law.And for this village where there is no clan, in this backward era where everyone is generally uneducated and uneducated, it is difficult to popularize the law, let alone the law of etiquette.

Only a little bit of Schrödinger's conscience constrains people, and it is all based on self-consciousness.

Without the support of the clan, the village chief himself did not have enough prestige to stand up, so Wang Chengdong could only be a polished commander.

Gradually, the people in Tiangan'er Village got used to some problems.The folks who looked up and looked down began to talk about "affection", and gradually regarded these affection as the "duty" that the Wang family should fulfill, and enjoyed the benefits for granted.

Because of this, Wang Chengdong died of overwork at a young age.Wang Chengliang was only 19 years old when he succeeded the village head, and he had no prestige and could not suppress these inflated villagers.So the Wang family changed from the leader of the villagers to the cattle, horses and servants of the villagers...

As Wang Chengdong's wife, Gu Shi thought she could live a good life at the village chief's house when she married, but she didn't enjoy any blessings when Wang Chengdong was alive, and her life would be even more sad when Wang Chengdong died. I can't support Wang Dawei.

She gradually became cowardly, cried a lot, had no ideas, and dared not express any opinions.

These villagers were raised to be tempered, and they would not do anything they could ask the Wang family to do.At first it was just a big deal, but after seeing Wang Chengliang was young and easy to bully, he didn't even want to do the trivial things in life himself.

For example, dig wild vegetables.For example, farming.But Wang Chengliang couldn't take care of the whole village's land alone, and he couldn't watch the fields go to waste, so he could only plan for the villagers, and contacted Wujiazhuang to rent out the fields.Fortunately, thanks to the glorious decades before, the villagers of Tiangan'er Village still have a lot of land, and they can't starve to death by collecting rent.

It's just that due to laziness, the land in Tiangan'er Village has not been properly taken care of for a long time, and many of them are deserted.Therefore, it is common to pay [-]% of the grain to the landlord, but Wujiazhuang is only willing to give [-]%.

But this is already the best result Wang Chengliang can talk about.There are other villages in the surrounding area who are only willing to pay [-]% of the land. After all, the wasteland in Lazy Man Village is not much worse than reclaiming wasteland by yourself. Why do people come to rent?

The villagers thought it was because Wang Chengliang did not do well and failed to benefit the whole village.So he took advantage of the Wang family and felt more at ease.

Many conscientious people noticed that the atmosphere in the village was broken.They can't change other people's minds, they can only move away by themselves.Because most people in the village enjoy this "leisure" life very much.

After all, who would want to work when they could lie down?

Even if the quality of life has declined—then go to the village chief!It's all the village head's incompetence!

Now, Wang Chengliang is also dead, and Wang Dawei has become the head of this unlucky village.

If the Wang family really planned to sell Brother Cheng to the villagers, they might not be able to collect any money.Only the Wang family has always paid out, and they have never seen the money back.

Cheng Ge'er was not snatched directly, because Wang Chengliang's death was the most important face.

So Gu Shi could only be forced to think about it.

Wang Dawei reassured dryly: "If you sell the Zhao family's land, you will be able to offset the tax, and there may be some surplus. The Wu family village has raised the land well over the years. Brother Cheng's money for selling himself is not our family's money." , let him go free."

Wang Dawei originally wanted to use his family's surplus grain to pay taxes for the Zhao family, and then returned the Zhao family's land to himself.But after learning about Lazy Man Village, Wang Dawei dismissed this idea: the villagers will definitely feel that their family has taken advantage of it, and then they will think of ways to make them spit out this "expensive".Simply sell the land, pay both money and goods, clear the accounts, and shut up the mouths of the villagers.

It's just that he has to make two extra trips to the county seat, but fortunately he planned to go too.

Tiangan'er Village was also a well-known rich village decades ago, with a very good geographical location, between Qiongshui County and Xiaojiang Town.Now that Wang Dawei's body has been recuperated by the spiritual spring, most of his body has recovered, and his walking speed is much faster. It only takes an hour to walk to the county.

It's just that the prices in the town are somewhat cheaper than in the county, and apart from the village chief, few people in the village come to the county.In the memory of the original owner, there is no picture of Qiongshui County.

It took Wang Dawei a lot of work to find the Yamen and hand in the documents for the succession of the village head.Zhao Shitou's family's four mu of land was registered with the small official in charge of land sales.

The little official had heard the commotion from the food officer and knew that this person was the new head of Lazy Man Village, so he couldn't help but sympathize with him: "I had dealt with your uncle two years ago and advised him to move out of the bandit den early. , he insisted on not listening. This is good, life is at stake!"

"You are so young, why are you so brain-dead, don't you know how to run?"

Wang Dawei smiled at the little official.There are many problems in Lazy Man Village, and they are also very difficult, but since God let him travel across to take over the village, maybe he wants to use his hand to punish these people?

When Wang Dawei was young, he heard from the aunts in the orphanage that there was a fixed number of jobs a person would have to do in his life. If he didn't do it when he was young, he had to do it when he was old.Wang Dawei thinks it makes sense.

It's not his style to run away—he Wang Dawei is not a person who is afraid of trouble.Even if it is difficult to do now, he will not give up.

The little official lost his temper when he laughed.Not to mention, the face of the original owner was smiling, which was quite simple and honest, which made the little official feel a little unbearable: "I have recorded this land for you. Recently, someone in Wujiazhuang wants to buy land, which is far away from your village. It’s also close, I’ll arrange it first...you old Wang’s family..."

Wang Dawei didn't answer his words.

Tiangan'er Village has come to this point. Although the villagers have a very big responsibility, it is not because of the Wang family.It's just that no matter how many mistakes they have made, they have already paid the price of their lives, and Wang Dawei doesn't want to make more comments behind their backs.

The dead are always the greatest.

"If you meet a grain official, please tell me that the grain tax of our Tiangan'er Village has been prepared, and you can come and collect it at any time." Wang Dawei put a bunch of copper coins on the table, and the ten elders The child is strung together by a red thread.

The petty official was not too little, put the money into his sleeve and sighed: "The other villages have already finished harvesting, and only your village is left. Because of your uncle's affairs, the grain officer is not at ease. Let me tell you Just one sound, and you won’t have to worry about getting the hatchback early.”

Wang Dawei nodded, and asked again: "I don't come to the county often, so I don't know if there are... anyone selling longevity materials in this county?"

The ancients had a lot of taboos, so these words are a bit abrupt, so the voice of the second half of the sentence is much lighter.

Wu Sanzhuang paid ten taels of silver, and Wang Dawei had planned early in the morning to buy a coffin for Wang Chengliang, and he couldn't really let people bury him with a broken mat.

The little official was a little surprised, coffins are not cheap, and many old people have to save their coffins for half their lives.When young people die, there is no time to save them, and most of them are buried hastily in a mat.Why is the Wang family so poor that they still want to buy a coffin for Wang Chengliang?

However, this was none of his business. Surprised, the official pointed the way to Wang Dawei: "There is a family behind North Street, which is frequented by ordinary people." Silver? Be careful, the county is not peaceful these days."

The little official said with a bit of bitterness on his face: "Yazhou was hit by a disaster again, and some victims came to our place. Those people have been hungry for a long time and can do anything. The county magistrate The adults ordered to catch them, but they are as slippery as loaches, and they don’t know where they are hiding.” Then he said to Wang Dawei: “Your village should also strengthen the law and order.”

The state where Wang Dawei is located is famous for its rich sugarcane, because the sugarcane looks like bamboo, and its taste is sweet and delicious, so it is called Miaozhu State, and it is the state capital closest to Yazhou.Whenever Yazhou is hit by a disaster, some refugees will come here.For Miaozhu Prefecture, the influx of refugees is definitely not a good thing. Among other things, public security is a huge problem.

These refugees traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, hungry and full, and finally arrived at Taiping Land, and wanted to hang on and eat a few full meals first.But they have no relatives or reasons in Miaozhu State, where will they settle down?Except for some well-meaning people to give alms, there is no choice but to steal or rob.

Wang Dawei felt emotional in his heart, thanked the little official, carefully hid the money on his body, and then left the yamen and went straight to Beijie.

Changed the cover today.The previous cover was made in 15. At that time, there was no such thing as cover copyright, so the grandfather of the village head of Pleasant Goat was used on it... It can’t be used now

The name of the article has also been changed. Now the name of the article seems a bit too plain. I decided to change it to "Crossing into the Village Chief of Lazy Village" after reporting with the editor. I hope it will bring me more favorites_(:з」 ∠)_
