Little wealth

At this time, Qiao Xu didn't know that behind Fu's mansion was the county government's yamen, and the county magistrate often returned to Fu's mansion from the yamen after leaving the yamen.On this day, he took his son to the home of the county magistrate as a guest, so he didn't know that the county magistrate took people from the county government to their Sihe village.

After hearing that the village head of Sihe Village brought people to the Yamen, the county magistrate couldn't sit still, and immediately took people to Sihe Village.

Every day, spring plowing and autumn harvest are the most important times of the year, so every year at this time, the county magistrate will go to various places to inspect the fields to see if the farmers in the villages under his control are planting on time. Whether the crops are growing well or not is related to whether the people's stomachs can be full.

So when he learned that the village head of Sihe Village said that the land in the village was planted very well, the county magistrate was also curious about the reason for this "goodness", so he went to Sihe Village to see it in person.

The summer wind blows the wheat fields, and under the sunshine, the wheat fields are covered with a piece of gold.Pieces of wheat fields are being shaken by the wind, like the waves of the sea, rolling layer by layer into the distance, with no end in sight.

There are figures working in the fields under the scorching sun. These are farmers who work in the fields all day long in order to have a full meal.

Those who turn their backs to the loess and face the sky are talking about these people.

When a group of people approached the field and stood in the field, they looked at the tall and strong crops, with heavy fruits on them.The county magistrate held a wheat ear in his hand, and he could feel the weight in his hand. He nodded in satisfaction, said yes, and asked, "Is this the land of the people in your village?"

The old village head of Sihe Village stood up and responded: "It is the land planted by the Zhao clan in our village."

"This land is so well planted. If everyone can plant such good land, I will no longer have to worry about the people under my rule going hungry." The county magistrate looked at the land, Said very emotionally.

When he saw this piece of land with his own eyes, he finally understood why the village head of Sihe Village had to go to the yamen to see him in person.If all the villages and fields under his rule can grow so well, why would the people worry about not being able to eat?

Fu Wenqing came to Anyang County to be the county magistrate last year. In the past year, under his rule, the yamen servants in the yamen have changed, and the entire Anyang County and the villages under the county have been managed more strictly than before. But even so, there are still many people in the places under his rule who don't have enough to eat and go hungry. This makes him feel very powerless and can only find a solution by himself.

For this reason, he read a lot of local annals, took people from the county government to walk around, and often sat and talked with old farmers, so as to understand the hardships of the people's lives.He is a son of a family, he took the imperial examination all the way to become an official, and he had never worked in the fields before. After he came to Anyang, he personally led people to work in the fields with the old farmers, cared about farming, and understood the seasons and the local water and soil. Hope to find a solution to the problem of people's full food.

Looking at this field now, Fu Wenqing felt that he had found what he was looking for.

After asking the old village head a few words about the people in this land, how to grow such good crops, etc., County Magistrate Fu asked the old village head to lead the way and take them to the home of the owner of the land for a sit-down. , "Trouble the old village chief, take me and my party to the family's house for a sit-down. I have something to ask him."

"Okay, my lord, please, and I will guide you." The old village chief naturally had no reluctance, and immediately led the people to Zhao's house.

**

When the people of the Zhao family received the letter from the old village head, they saw that the village head had led a group of people to their house before they woke up from the shock.Zhao He immediately took E'Mu and his brothers to wait at the door to welcome the magistrate, "Caomin has seen you."

"You're all up, don't be too polite. I just came to your home today to learn about the farming situation in the field." Fu Wenqing went to the countryside today in casual clothes, not official clothes, because he didn't want to let his identity as the county magistrate scare the people.

Zhao He got up from the ground, looked up at the county magistrate, and immediately stopped him, and recognized at a glance that this gentleman brought his husband and children to their stall a few days ago The customers who bought things online, their husband and children are still guests in other people's homes.

In other words, the Fu mansion where their husband and children went was also the home of the county magistrate.

"I seem to have seen you before... Oh, now I remember, I have indeed seen you." County magistrate Fu saw that the man in front of him looked familiar, so he remembered that one day he went to the street with his husband and children When I went shopping, the man in front of me was a stall owner who was setting up a stall in the town.

After that day, their math-obsessed husband often invited the stall owner's husband and children to their house as guests. When he came home from the government office, he heard Fulang talk about it several times.Knowing that my husband has met a friend who can talk, and their brother also has a little playmate.

The husband of the family took his children and followed him to Anyang to take up the post. He didn't have any friends here, so Fu Wenqing was naturally very happy and supported that his husband could make friends here.

But he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, it just so happened that he came to Sihe Village to inspect the land today, and he came to the house of the friend that his husband had made, that is, the house of the man in front of him.When he was going out this morning, he heard from his husband that he had invited guests to his house today, and he thought it was the husband and child of the man in front of him.

Fu Wenqing took a look, and indeed he did not see the husband and child at home.

"My lord, do you know boy Zhao He?" The old village chief asked a little surprised.

"Hehe, I can't say we know each other, maybe we met once." Magistrate Fu smiled, thinking that this is also a kind of fate.

"My lord, please go and sit in the house. The humble house is simple, so please don't dislike it." Zhao He lowered his head and invited the county magistrate to come and sit in their home.Afraid that the big yellow dog at home would disturb people, they have already driven the big yellow dog into the shed and locked it up.

A group of people went into the yard. It was not the first time for magistrate Fu to go to the small farmyard, so he didn't dislike the rudimentary small courtyard in the countryside.

Seeing that there are trees planted in the yard and chickens and ducks raised, it feels like a small farmyard.

However, magistrate Fu did not forget the purpose of coming here today. After sitting down in the house, he talked with Zhao He about how the crops in their fields were grown, and asked a few questions of concern.

The civil servants who followed were taking notes with a pen and ink, recording everything they said.

By the time they finished talking, it was almost noon.

The small kitchen at home was cooking, and Zhao Amu asked the youngest son to inform the eldest son that the food was ready, and asked the adult if he wanted to have a meal at their home.

"The food is prepared at home, I wonder if my lord wants to have a light meal at Xiaomin's house." Zhao He asked respectfully.

"No need, there is still something to do in the county office. I will go back to the county office first, so I won't stay any longer." County magistrate Fu politely declined the invitation on the grounds that he didn't want to disturb the people, and left with a group of people. up.

Zhao He sent people out to the door, and saw a group of people riding away on horseback.

The old village head stood behind and watched the county magistrate and his party leave before he let out a deep breath. He was very nervous when he received the county magistrate and his party just now.I didn't expect the county magistrate to be so approachable, much better than those parent officials in the past.

Seeing the county magistrate leaving at this time, other talents gathered around and asked, "The one just now is really our county magistrate?"

"Isn't it, isn't it true, can there be fake ones?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect to see the live magistrate, hehe, hehe..."

Someone asked the county magistrate why he came here, and the village chief told everyone the purpose of the county magistrate's visit, and other people knew that the county magistrate came to their village for farming, and praised him one after another. The county magistrate is a good official.

"Yes, our county magistrate is a good official." The old village head looked away, looked at Zhao He, and said, "Boy, hey, well, work hard in the future, our Sihe Village just needs A few more people like you."

Zhao He felt that he had borrowed from his husband. All he knew was told by his husband. Long story short, I didn't expect the county magistrate to come today.

Thinking of his husband and children who were still guests at the county magistrate's house, he felt a little at a loss for what to say.

However, apart from the county magistrate and him knowing about this matter, Zhao He did not plan to tell anyone else, lest someone mistakenly think that their family has something to do with the county magistrate, and wonder if he wants to wait for Fulang to come back. Tell Fu Lang about it.

Fu Lang still said that they don't need to pick him and the child back, and now he wants to pick someone back!

Later, Zhao He invited the village chief and others to sit at their house for a while, but the village chief didn't stay any longer, just sat down and said a few words with Zhao He, and then led them back.

The meals were prepared at home, and Aunt Zhao took Brother Chen to carry the prepared meals outside for the men who worked.Today, the two of them are in charge of cooking. They made steamed buns and boiled a large bucket of papaya. There is fish in it, which can be regarded as a little meaty in the dishes. It will add some oily smell to the men who have worked all day. It is good to have a full stomach work.

After working for so long, these workers have already tasted that the taste of the dishes is different depending on the person who is in charge of the spoon.If the daughter-in-law of Zhao Dalang's family is in charge, their meal for the day will be particularly delicious. If Zhao Amu is in charge, it's not bad, but it's better than what they eat at home.

"Let's go, let's go to work." After eating and resting for a while, these men continued to work.

The host family treats them with delicious food and drink, and the wages for daily work are settled daily, and they are never in arrears of wages.And to work for the villagers in the village, they don't have to travel so far, and they don't have to get up early every day to go out until dawn. It's just right to come here to work.

Where can I find such a good job, so they all cherish this opportunity to work very much. If they don't do it, there will be a lot of people rushing to do it.

***

Josh, who was still in Fu's residence at this time, didn't know that the county magistrate brought people to their home, and naturally he didn't know that he had met the county magistrate, or even his husband and children who were still talking to the county magistrate. Have a meal.

"I think they are a little sleepy. You take Xiao Nuomi to sleep for a while, and I also take Niannian home." The two children had a full stomach and played in the gazebo for a while, seeing that the children were a little sleepy Yes, Josh also took over the kid from their family, and was going to take him home.

The sleepy little baby was lying in Eminem's arms, with a smile on her face, her eyes drooping.

Bai Luoxi looked at their little Nuomi rubbing her eyes with her small hands, and knew that the child was sleepy.However, he was a bit reluctant to let Jo Xu and his son go back, so he persuaded him to stay: "I see that the sun outside is so strong, why don't you rest in the wing room for a while, and play for a while after they both wake up, and you also wait for a while." Let’s go back when the sun isn’t so hot.”

Seeing that Josh hesitated, Bai Luoxi knew that he was worried that his family would come to pick them up, so he said: "If your family comes to pick you up, I will ask the porter to invite someone in and so on."

"...Well, okay, then I'll take Niannian to sleep for a while." Josh looked down at the little brat in their family who was lying on his lap and almost fell asleep, so he had no choice but to accept Bai Luoxi's kindness , holding the child and following the person who came to lead the way, took the child to the guest room to rest.

Seeing her younger brother being taken away, Xiao Nuomi took her father's hand and wanted her to go with her.

"Go back to your room and sleep for a while, and you can see your brother when you wake up."

Seemingly understood what the adults said, Xiao Nuomi didn't make a fuss, and obediently asked his father to hold his hand and go to sleep.

Bai Luoxi took his little brother back to the house where they lived. After the child was three years old, he lived in the small side room next to their bedroom, so that it was convenient for him to get up at night to see the child.

Although there are many servants in the family, he has been taking care of the child by himself from birth to this age. Except for letting the servants look at it when he is busy and has no time, most of the time the child is placed in front of him.

Seeing the child obediently lying on the bed and falling asleep while hugging the little cloth tiger, Bai Luoxi showed a slight smile on his face, and reached out to touch the little brother's face. The child was beside him, healthy and healthy Kang grew up, and nothing could satisfy him more than this.
