Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 14
Wang Ping'an's worry was correct. Ancient times were not like modern times. They had everything. In this era, people depended on the sky for food. After sitting in a carriage for nearly an hour and a half, they finally arrived at Wangjiazhuang.

Wang Ping'an and a group of yamen servants came to Wangjiazhuang, which made the farmers of Wangjiazhuang very curious. A few officials came in the morning, and now there are so many yamen servants. When did his Zhuangzi become so popular.

It can be seen that the farmers are honest farmers, without modern wit and brains, and when they see officials, they will take the initiative to get out of the way, but from their eyes, it can be seen that none of them are afraid of officials, but the officials are afraid of hurting the farmers. , Walk carefully everywhere, I am afraid that one will accidentally hurt the farmers, so that the censor may talk to them, and if it is serious, a few of them will appear on the Golden Temple.

Zhang Yi first took Wang Pingan to inspect the [-] mu of land, most of which were sorghum, and a few mu of land was used to grow vegetables.There are still many people working in the field, some are fertilizing, some are carrying water, but they are all old and weak women and children, but none of the adult men are seen.

"Brother Zhang, why do I only see some old people and children, where are those grown men?" Wang Ping'an chatted happily with Zhang Yi along the way, and later directly called them brothers.

"Most of them have been dragged to become strong men because of the war. They have been fighting all the time, and it has only stopped in the past few years. Some of them work in the city. They can only be seen in the field during spring planting and summer harvest." Zhang Zhang Yi said.

"So that's the case." Wang Pingan looked clear.

Wang Pingan continued to walk forward and came to the house that Li Er had rewarded. Although his house was paved with bluestone bricks and tiles and occupied a large area, he could tell at a glance that no one had lived in his house for a long time. They were all in dilapidated condition, and Wang Pingan couldn't bear to go inside to see them.

"Brother, I forgot to tell you, Lord Inspector has been waiting for you in the house today." Zhang Yi said embarrassedly.

"Brother, don't play with me. My brother is still young, so I can't stand being scared." Wang Ping'an was taken aback. It is a serious crime for ordinary people to let an official wait for them, and they can't afford it.

"I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can go in and have a look." Zhang Yi said anxiously, fearing that Wang Pingan would not believe him and would not enter his house.

Did Wang Pingan walk into his own house? When he stepped in with his left foot, he heard the sound before he saw anyone: "I heard that there is a child prodigy in Luoyang. I was the governor and I only found out yesterday. This is the negligence of the governor. Please don't be surprised by Bai Xiaoyou." .

Wang Pingan was stunned, with no hair on his face, wearing a scarlet official uniform, a black official hat on his head, and a black belt around his waist, with a white jade in the middle. The middle-aged man looked at him with piercing eyes and a smile .As soon as you guess it, you know that this is Lord Inspector.Followed by two people, also wearing official uniforms, but they are green.

Zhang Yi walked up to the middle-aged man and said, "My lord, the child prodigy Wang Ping'an has been brought here."

"Students pay homage to Lord Inspector." Wang Ping'an followed Zhang Yi's example and acted like a middle-aged man.

"Hurry up and excuse me, there is a child prodigy in Luoyang. The governor only found out about it yesterday. This is a negligence. I have to accuse you of my crime." Polite.

"It's all the fault of the students. How can you blame the governor? Besides, the governor is busy with the administrative affairs of Luoyang, so he has no time to care about such trivial matters as the students." Wang Pingan said in an unhurried manner.

The governor looked at Wang Ping'an, but he didn't expect that the words spoken by this son in front of him were really comforting. He added a little bit of joy to Wang Ping'an, and said with a smile: "Where, as long as things happen in Luoyang, no matter how big or small, they are all important things. , the governor has to personally intervene."

This is a bit too much, if you do it yourself, you will not be exhausted, why do you die so early as an emperor, most of them are exhausted, Wang Ping'an doesn't believe him.

I thought so in my heart, but with a smile on my face, I nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, stop standing here and go to the back room. Is this room a gift from the emperor to the students?"

Wang Pingan looked at the yard curiously. The outside couldn't be compared with the inside at all. There were no leaves on the ground. It could be seen that the inside had been tidied up, but the walls were a little worn out. There were a few big trees planted in the yard, which should be a bit old depending on the year. history.

"That's right, the title deed is ready. As long as the child prodigy signs it, the village will be yours. The governor also arranged for a manager and some servants to be driven by the child prodigy." The governor walked ahead and said with a smile on his mouth.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but please don't be a child prodigy. The child prodigy is called. The adults are like nephews to the students. The adults can call the students safe."

"Alright, don't keep calling me Sir. In private, you can call me Uncle Lu."

"That's a good relationship. Uncle Lu, please accept my nephew as a bow." Wang Pingan bowed after finishing speaking.

"No courtesy, no courtesy. Hahaha." The governor waved his hand and laughed. "Nephew, let's go. Uncle Lu is happy today. When we are done, go to Uncle Lu's house and introduce you to my family, Cheng'er and Yanran. They are about your age."

"Yes, what Uncle Lu said is important." Wang Pingan nodded in agreement.

Wang Pingan came to the back room with Lu Songjun, the governor, and found a domineering giant man standing in the back room. Standing in front of him, Wang Pingan felt a burst of depression, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Uncle Lu, who is this man? He is domineering." Wang Pingan asked, pointing at the giant man.

"This person is Uncle Lu who assigned you to take care of your home. His name is Gu Han. He is a veteran who has retired from the army after many battles. You have to treat him well. He will work hard for you in the future." Lu Songjun explained road,
"It turned out to be a strong man of the ancients. Disrespect, disrespect. From now on, the safety of the family depends on you." Wang Pingan walked to the side of Gu Han, raised his head and said to Gu Han.

Gu Han lowered his head and looked curiously at this little master who was not afraid of him at all, so he cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, master, as long as the villain's life is still alive, the family will be safe."

"Well, it's very good. I can rest assured that you are here. Don't call me master in the future. Just call me young master. From today on, you will be the head of the nursing home in Wangjiazhuang. I will give you money in a few days to hire him." A few masters of the nursing home, let them obey your orders."

"Yes, young master." Gu Han finished speaking expressionlessly, and stood aside.

To be honest, the scene just now was a bit funny, as if a teenager was teaching an adult a lesson, it almost made Lu Songjun and others laugh.

In addition to the ancient Han, there were several people standing beside him. After Wang Pingan asked Lu Songjun, he found out that one was the housekeeper. Everyone called him Lao Mo. He used to be the housekeeper of an official family, but his master didn't know who he had offended. , All his masters were sent to prison, and all the servants were sent to the teaching workshop.

The other is an official sent by the imperial court Sinong Temple, mainly to do handover documents with himself. The land deed, house deed, etc. are handed over to Wang Pingan, and there is no business for him after signing.

The other one is the county magistrate of this county. Wangjiazhuang is under the jurisdiction of this county magistrate, and it will depend on his help in the future.

After Wang Pingan said hello one by one, after getting the land deed and house deed in his hand, he put him in his arms and kept it carefully. sleeping.

"Uncle Lu, the signature has been signed. Will this Zhuangzi be mine in the future? Will the people who farm outside listen to my instructions in the future?"

Lu Songjun nodded with a smile on his face.

"My little nephew understands." Wang Pingan nodded, and said to Lao Mo beside him: "Old Mo, go and find out, besides farming, do the tenants in the village raise other things, such as raising chickens and pigs?" Waiting or other business, how many people are in each household, the name of each household, and whether there are cattle in the family, the more detailed the better, let me know tomorrow."

"Yes, the villain will go now." Lao Mo clapped his hands at Wang Ping'an and went to inquire.

"Why did my nephew inquire about these things? There are detailed records in the official records." Lu Songjun asked doubtfully.

Wang Pingan looked at Lu Songjun's puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "Don't blame my nephew for not trusting government files, it's just because of Tang's policies, some things are better investigated by yourself."

Lu Songjun nodded knowingly. Wang Ping'an's words are very clear, so let's go to your policy. Some things are deceitful. You can't believe it. It is best to investigate by yourself. How could it be possible to not know the meaning of Wang Ping'an's words for many years, but he was still very curious, why did he ask the tenants about raising chickens and ducks?
Then he looked at Wang Ping'an with curiosity on his face.
