Chapter 100 Relaxing Moment
Du Zhongxiao's distribution of land was of course not to make the villagers work hard, and such a thing was not within his scope of investigation. Instead, it focused on land and land system, which was to ensure general stability for fifty years. For example, because of having children, the population in the village increased, and there would be no shortage of land soon. As for fifty years, it would be beyond the scope that Du Zhongxiao could consider, and it was time to enter a new era.
In the field, Du Zhongxiao stood in the sunshine, watching the busy people in the golden fields. After this autumn harvest, the field business officially completed the cycle of farming, planting, and harvesting. All structures and systems have been tested. Good reservations and bad corrections are time to settle.
Kongmu Qiao Baoping led a few officials to travel to each village, record the fields planted in each village, collect grains at the speed, and collect all data. These are first-hand information to study the management of field management based on this. The reason why practice is practical is to do it in a practical way. It is not enough to just sit in the yamen to imagine.
Chang Wei and the other two kept following Du Zhongxiao, turned around for several villages, and returned to Daliushu Village. After a night, they finally figured out what Du Zhongxiao said, "What the villagers did not work hard during the day is a loss," Chang Wei put down his contempt and carefully looked at how Du Zhongxiao dealt with the matter. After observing for most of the day, he saw that Du Zhongxiao was just walking around, rarely talking, and was a little confused.
Du Zhongxiao looked at the busy crowd and felt a little tired. After being an official for a year, he had to keep things going, especially recently Chang Wei was chaotic, which made Du Zhongxiao feel exhausted physically and mentally. When the autumn harvest is over, he needs to have a good rest. Fortunately, everything is on the right track and there is no need to stare at it everywhere. In a small county, his arrangements for this year are enough, and it should be time to harvest the fruits later.
Because of the repeated trouble, Du Zhongxiao asked Chai Xin and others to watch Chang Wei and refused to let them take action privately. Chang Wei had complaints and once wrote a letter back to Bozhou, recounting that he was bullied by Du Zhongxiao. But for some reason, the Laozhiyuan did not reply.
After watching the scimitar, Du Zhongxiao brought people back to the yamen. When he followed the door, he saw a ox cart parked outside the door. Han Yueniang took Xiaoqing and Jingjing out of the car and walked into the door.
Du Zhongxiao hurried forward, called Yue Niang, and said to her: "Why are you here?"
Han Yueniang looked at Du Zhongxiao, looked at him for a while, and then said, "It's cold, I'll send some clothes. You came here to take care of the food collection, but you didn't say when you would go back. How could I not come here to see you?"
Du Zhongxiao laughed: "What's so good about it? Yingtianwu is a countryside, and it's not comparable to the county town."
Han Yueniang smiled slightly: "What else? Before going to the city, we had lived in the inspection village for a few months."
While talking, the two entered the yamen.
Chang Wei saw it from behind and asked Chai Xin: "Is that woman the magistrate's wife?"
Chai Xin nodded: "No, be careful in the future. Madam is not as easy to talk to as an official. If you cause trouble, no one can save you! You caused trouble last night, and the official will not be punished. There will be no such good thing in the future!"
After hearing this, Chang Wei didn't care at all. Seeing that the woman was pretty and handsome, gentle and gentle, she didn't look like a person who was hard to talk to. Seeing the two little girls behind her followers together, Chang Wei asked Chai Xin: "Who are those two little rings?"
Chai Xin said: "That is the wife's personal envoy. One is good at playing the piano and the other is good at singing music. They are very favored by the wife. They are young and spoiled by the wife, so don't mess with them."
Chang Wei smiled and said, "Isn't it just a family trick? I understand this kind of thing, I understand! The magistrate's husband has many family tricks, and I don't know how lively it is. Before coming to Bozhou, many were dismissed!"
Chai Xin didn't speak and went to the yamen with his entourage. Xiaoqing and Jingjing should be considered family geniuses, but Du Zhongxiao's small family has always followed Han Yueniang and is her personal female envoy, unlike those wealthy families. Most wealthy families will have family geniuses, and they will have daily gatherings and banquets, letting them play the piano and sing songs, thinking that this is the trend at this time, and everyone is accustomed to it.
Following Chai Xin, Chang Wei winked at Qiu Shilong and whispered: "I didn't expect that the magistrate would enjoy it so much that he bought such a smart little girl. When I had free time, we also asked them to sing two songs. In this remote place, we always had to find some fun."
Qiu Shilong said: "I see the two little rings follow their wife closely, very close. Brother, don't do anything wrong, be careful to anger the magistrate again."
Chang Weihun said indifferently: "What's the matter with two family sings? Forget it, let's talk about it later. Let's drink tonight."
In the Houya Garden, Du Zhongxiao sat in the moonlight and watched Xiaoqing and Jingjing serve wine with laughter. Han Yueniang poured warm wine beside her, and a warm feeling arose. Thinking about this year, she has been busy and has very few such days.
Warm wine, Han Yueniang whispered: "What are Dalang thinking? Sitting there in a daze."
Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "I'm thinking that since I passed the Jinshi and became an official here, it has been a year since I knew it. Over the past year, I have been working hard every day and busy. Now think about it, what am I busy with!"
Han Yueniang smiled and said, "It's wrong for officials to think this way. Over the past year, officials have built many shops outside the city. The county's public officials and servants have money and food, so there is no need to carve out the people anymore. They have built land camps here, allowing so many families to live a good life of food and clothing, and collect thousands of stones of grain and rice for the court. These are all things that are good for the court and the people. Why don't you know what to be busy with?"
Du Zhongxiao thought about it and couldn't help but laugh: "You know more about what I do than me."
"That's natural. We don't get together in our daily life, so I always have to know what you are doing."
Du Zhongxiao gently pinched Han Yueniang's hand and whispered: "I know now that it is not easy to be an official, but fortunately you are a wife."
At this moment, Xiaoqing put a fish on the table and said crisply: "Official, madam, the food is all right, I'll pour you wine."
As he said that, he quickly ran behind Han Yueniang and reached for the warm wine pot. He lowered his head and saw Du Zhongxiao holding Han Yueniang's hand. He was at a loss and said, "If the official is not hungry, I will heat up the dishes again."
Du Zhongxiao withdrew his hand and said, "I have been busy for a day and I am so hungry and thirsty. I pour wine quickly."
Xiaoqing agreed, picked up the wine pot, poured wine for Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang. She grew up with Qu Wuniang, sang songs for guests and drank with guests. She had seen a lot since she was a child. She quickly forgot what had happened just now, and after pouring the wine, she took a small wine pot, and lay on a table next to Jingjing, each with a small wine glass, and learned to pour wine. She had a bowl in front of her, and picked up all kinds of dishes, and had a great time eating and drinking.
