[Comprehensive] Ask the wine fairy

Although I found the place without much effort, it was not so much a yamen as a ruined temple.

Dong Xiangyan wiped the ashes on the table with his palm, straightened his face, and directed everyone.

"Don't worry about anything else, clean up for me first!"

A group of masters who came to see them and a few small officials, they looked at Dong Xiangyan in pudding official uniforms, but it didn't matter, they hurriedly repaired the leaking roof first, Cobwebs should also be cleaned well.

For a while, the villagers in Yushu Village were surprised to find that many strangers came to the local area, and they were led by the government to borrow tools from each household.

The old lady who lent out a broom asked Er Youzi by the shoulder, "Who are these people? They look so rough and scary?"

"Don't talk nonsense, old lady!" Er Youzi was bluffed enough by her ignorant and fearless words, and hastily explained: "He is a nobleman from the provincial capital, an official, and those are the places he took out when he went out. Servant, it looks fierce, but this is the only way to travel between the two places safely!"

The old lady quickly responded: "Oh, so it is like this, an official..." When she mentioned this, she was a little worried, "Can this official work? Good officials and bad officials have come here, but our place The child has always been the same as before and has not improved."

"Alas—we can only see if God rewards me or not," Er Youzi, who was carrying a lot of things, shook his head, "Everyone here knows that if the person who comes is not the emperor, then there is really no hope. gone."

The old lady had a depressed face and didn't talk anymore, and Er Youzi carried the things away with a grunt.

The village is small, there are few people, everyone is from the village, and we live a hard life together, so the relationship between the officials and the people is not as dirty as other places where the officials and the big ones crush people to death, or bully others with their power.

Even a woman like the old lady can talk to the little officials like Er Youzi, and they helped each other in the years when they were struggling.

This kind of strong human relationship and good relationship under the rule may be Dong Xiangyan's only comfort. However, at this time, although he did not repair the house like everyone else, he picked up the old files in the study to learn about the local situation.

It wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and someone outside called him to eat, that he recovered from the state of concentration.

Ye Gucheng usually follows him, most people can't see him, and if those who can see him ignore him, he will look very lonely by himself, he is a calm temper, and he can bear it lonely.

So he will show up at this time, for Dong Xiangyan who has something to say.

Regardless of whether Dong Xiangyan joined the army or went to the local area, he chose the name Dong Xiangyan. The people around him knew this eccentricity, and gradually got used to calling him Mr. Dong. Even Ye Gucheng didn't know when it was subtly influenced.

But the point is not this, the point is that Dong Xiangyan patted this thick transcript and said: "It's unbelievable that the officials in the middle of the officialdom are so protective. The previous two generations of county officials were not very capable people, but they have something to do with Beijing, so The emperor was far away from the mountain, and he insisted on telling them to desolate the whole area, and the governor of Liangzhou was 'delayed' in reacting."

Ye Gucheng: "What do you think?"

"What do you think? No, what I have a headache now is how to deal with it. After all, I am the local county magistrate now," Dong Xiangyan gasped, "If I didn't know that this time was hand-picked by my father, I myself have a high status His Royal Highness, then I may really suspect that I am the scapegoat sent here by the governor of Liangzhou to top the vat!"

Ye Gucheng: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Dong Xiangyan rubbed the center of his eyebrows: "Yushu Village was originally Yujia County, because it got its name from several hundred-year-old elm trees in the area, but the county fell into decline and the number of people became less and less. Finally, the county became a town, and the town became a town. Village, and no one will deliberately name the village, and just use the elm tree as its name."

Thinking back to the quagmire in that place when I first arrived, when it rained, my feet would be covered with muddy soup. Those huts and mud houses that could not shelter from the wind and rain were even more uninhabitable. Maybe there would be a collapse accident when the wind and rain came. .

In this way, the yamen might really be a good place, at least it is all built of wood, so it won't collapse in a rain!

Rubbing his head, Dong Xiangyan fell silent again on the food served by his subordinates.

For the wild vegetables on the mountain, salt is a precious thing and you must not dare to put it, so most of them are boiled in plain water and served. Brown rice bran noodles, eating two mouthfuls hurts the throat.

Although Dong Xiangyan made a small brocade, but he himself is not a real nobleman, and has experience in the army, so when he first arrived here, although the simple food and drink were not delicious, they were still acceptable.

It's just that this life is so miserable, Dong Xiangyan swallowed the food with tears in his eyes, barren, it really is a barren land!

Eat and drink enough, and sleep until dawn.

The new young county magistrate from Yushu Village walked around the village early in the morning, and when he ran into someone, the adult would greet him kindly.

I heard that he is a nobleman outside, but seeing him so easy to get along with, all the worried old people gradually let go of the tone of mentioning it.

"Maybe he's a nice person." A group of old people gathered under the big elm tree at the entrance of the village murmured, weaving rattan cages with their hands and feet, picking vegetables, and preparing for a day's work.

Dong Xiangyan happened to be passing by "inadvertently". Seeing this, she leaned over, pretending to ignore their reservations and said with a smile, "Ma'am, you wake up so early."

Several old people hurriedly responded.

"Yes, yes! My lord also got up early!"

"Has your lord eaten?"

"Master Dong, did you not get used to it in the first few days?"

In just a few words, Dong Xiangyan, relying on his attractive face, quickly coaxed several old ladies who were old enough to be his grandmother to chat about the past of Yushu Village.

Most of them have seen with their own eyes how Yushu Village did not fall, and they were also annoyed when they mentioned it.

"The dog official back then knew how to scrape money from us when he couldn't do his job. Later, when he got better, he was chopped off with a big knife by the people above, but the new one didn't do any messy things, but he couldn't do it. He told us to do it. Those incidents were confusing, and gradually everyone was unwilling to listen to him."

"Oh? Ma'am," Dong Xiangyan asked, "Yushu Village has no special products, and the location is not good. What kind of money did the county magistrate take from you back then? Everyone is so poor, and that person really has no conscience." !” After that, he acted as if he was filled with righteous indignation.

The old lady Hua looked at the Coke, shook her head and said: "At that time, everyone was rich, did you see this elm tree?"

Dong Xiangyan looked at the lush tree above his head.

Mrs. Hua: "We have no production, no land, no food, but we have good wood! Hundreds of years old trees are everywhere in the mountain, and everyone can eat for a long time. But since the emperor sealed In the two seasons when the mountain forest is open occasionally, even if everyone goes to cut trees, some people will stare at them and prevent them from cutting more. If they don’t let them cut down, won’t everyone be in short supply? Coupled with the increase in taxes every year, it’s okay for those counties Officials still need to be filial, if it wasn't for the dog officials who committed crimes later, a group of gangsters were dealt with together, we still don't know how to live."

"Ms. Hua..." Someone winks at Mrs. Hua, asking her to see who is opposite.

Aunt Hua's face turned pale when she was talking, and suddenly realized that the person in front of her was the colleague of the dog officer, and she quickly said, "Of course, I'm not talking about you, my lord."

Dong Xiangyan didn't care about what she said at this time, and his face was thoughtful.

"Closing mountains and growing forests is indeed a benevolent policy. The reason why the local area is full of mud when it rains is because the villagers cut down trees on the mountains at will, resulting in excessive soil erosion. Only by cultivating trees and forests can we hope to change the geomantic omen of this place."

But having said that, what the villagers eat without cutting down trees is also a problem.

After returning to the county office, Dong Xiangyan took a short break and went to the study to ponder something, and then went to the mountain to investigate in person, and then he unexpectedly discovered that after several years of closing the mountain, there were a lot of prey on the mountain.

After going down the mountain, he told Er Youzi about it.

The Eryouzi looked at each other and said hesitantly: "It's not that no one has taken the idea of ​​those beasts, but the key is that there are many old and young in the village, and young people go to neighboring counties, or simply go to the provincial capital to seek a living and stay behind. These people usually dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and no one dares to really go into the mountain. My lord, you don't know that there was a wolf plague in our place a few years ago."

Dong Xiangyan raised the corners of his mouth: "If you want to do something first, you must first sharpen your weapon. Wolf or something, I ordered the remaining young and strong to set up protective nets in the mountains, and first set aside a place with rich prey for people to hunt. To support the family, the remaining people come to me to learn the technology of making traps, and I will bring a batch of weapons specially in a few days. Humans are the spiritual ancestors of all things, since they have wisdom, why can't they conquer a mere mountain?"

Er Youzi: "Oh, this... just follow my orders."

Dong Xiangyan managed to figure out what to do, and he became very excited for a while.

In the evening, Ye Gucheng showed up and said indifferently: "Where do you go to find weapons?"

Dong Xiangyan smiled: "Did you forget that I left a lot of discarded works in another place? Speaking of which, you reminded me that I don't like it, but it doesn't mean that it is not a good thing in the eyes of others. I want to change hands Giving it to these villagers for self-defense should be better than being picked up by someone who doesn’t know what kind of person it is.”

Ye Gucheng slightly raised his eyebrows: "Have you made a decision?"

"Well, I still plan to teach these people martial arts." Dong Xiangyan said calmly: "Exclude that official who committed crimes and despised the king's law, and the rest are incompetent? No, it's just that they can't do it. The loss of personnel and the barren land , the remaining widows, old and young can only be self-sufficient, and some people even need to tighten their belts to live. This kind of place is not even rated as high or low. Anyone who arrives here will first feel that he has been abandoned by the court. The energy and spirit have been lost, and no matter what you do, you can't move the spirit of the people around you."

Ye Gucheng: "Then are you ready?"

Dong Xiangyan raised his hand and gestured to the mountains hidden in the waves and clouds in the distance. The undulating mountains are vigorous and vigorous, and a thick layer of emerald color rolls down the top of the mountain like waves.

"People say that the mountain depends on the mountain. I plan to let the local people learn to make a living first, and then they can gradually change their lives when they become rich."

Ye Gucheng reminded: "You only have two years."

Dong Xiangyan smiled and said, "That's enough."

Ye Gucheng didn't know where his natural self-confidence came from, but when he saw Sikong Zhaixing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, rushing here with a group of Jianghu people who obviously possessed special skills, he suddenly had an insight into this person's plan.

This person actually wants to build a village of martial arts people!

"To be precise, it's a holy place to live in seclusion," Dong Xiangyan smiled, without stopping, helping the carpenter in the nearby village to hold down the plank.

The answer through the soul link has long allowed Dong Xiangyan to develop a good ability to use one mind at a time, so now he is busy with his work without delaying the conversation with Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng said: "How can you determine whether these people are ambitious?"

Dong Xiangyan comforted him calmly: "There are many people in this world who are old and want to wash their hands in a golden basin, but they always come to them because of past events. If I provide them with such a good place, don't they still plan to avenge their kindness?" No?"

"But you are working for the royal family," Ye Gucheng said emphatically, "Not everyone is willing to be the imperial court's eagle dog."

Dong Xiangyan: "I know, and I didn't intend to do this. This place is under my rule. Even if I leave in the future, this place will bear my name. With me, the prince of Da Yue, in front, no one can cross it." I'll go, as long as I don't want them to be eagle dogs, they can live without any worries."

Ye Gucheng was silent for a while, talking to himself like a whisper.

"Is it really that simple?"

"Yes!" Dong Xiangyan affirmed, "Because I'm here!"

At this moment, a mighty ray of light bloomed from behind him. At first glance, it looked as if the Buddha came to the world to save all sentient beings. Some people with deep faith couldn't help clasping their hands together and praying silently, until Dong Xiangyan yelled angrily.

"Stay away, brat, if it explodes, your life will be gone!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked at it, they were dumbfounded one after another.

I saw an old man with a white beard and white hair, who looked like a disheveled old lion, chasing a wrench with little effort to drive away the child who owed it to open the mechanism.

The whole looks like a big peach, but it uses no oil, and the machine that emits light without firewood is very eye-catching under the sun.

He noticed the astonished eyes of the crowd, the tiger's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What are you looking at!"

Ye Gucheng: "..."

Dong Xiangyan smiled and said, "I'm right."

It's not just me, there are many capable people in the world, such as this unknown "golden lion king" who got electricity out of him who didn't know how many years earlier.

The author has something to say:

I was very surprised that there was a little angel whose brain hole overlapped with mine yesterday, but obviously my brain hole is bigger! (吱喜)(￣▽￣)／
