The scene was silent for a while, no one dared to say a word, and everyone was frightened by the wealth in front of them.

Although Niujia Village came to Chang'an, how could the people of this era be rich, not to mention boxes of copper coins, and the family had such a consistent half-run to be locked in the cabinet as a treasure on weekdays, and it would not be spent until it was absolutely necessary, and it was generally left to the children.

It doesn't matter if you suffer yourself, the money should be left to the children to start a family, and the money should be left to the children to marry a wife and have children, which is the most traditional virtue of the ancient people.

After a long time, the mother of Niu Laosan finally trembled and said, "My son, where did you get all this money?" Our ancestors have been honest people for generations, and we never dare to do bad things for money. ”

Niu Laosan laughed, helped his mother and said respectfully: "Don't worry, mother, the origin of this money is clean, didn't I just say it, this is the construction fund issued by the imperial court to Niujia Town, and now I am the mayor of the town, and I will manage twenty villages in the future......"

He suddenly reached into the box, picked up the piece of gold, and said, "As for the ten taels of gold, it is a reward for me to cut a Turkic general, and fifty taels of silver is also a reward...... Mother, you don't know, killing a Turkic general is a great achievement. ”

"That's the reward?" The cow mother muttered to herself, she had never seen gold in her life, and she couldn't help rubbing it in her hand.

"How much is that? Fifteen of us are all rewarded with this! Niu Laosan laughed, he pointed to the fourteen comrades next to him, and said loudly: "Mother, look, that is Li Dashi and Li Ershi of Li Village, that is Liu Damu of Liu Village, and that is Tian Zhuang ...... of Tiancun."

He pointed them out to his mother one by one, and said softly: "The fourteen of them are all from the surrounding villages, and the border troops who participated with me at the beginning also gathered together when they were fighting. ”

Mother Niu let out a sigh of relief, she was still scared when she saw this group of soldiers before, but now when she heard that they were all dolls from the surrounding villages, she felt less afraid.

Niu Laosan said again: "We are lucky, we surrounded a general during the grassland war, and that general is so powerful, he can cut down a war horse with one sword." This kind of master originally didn't dare to provoke, but he was blown up by the prince's artifact and half of his body was destroyed, and the child didn't have much strength to chop his head with a knife. ”

He took the gold from his mother's hand and threw it up and down, the gold was shining in the sun, and he smiled and said: "Kill a Turkic general, according to military merits, at least the county man can be crowned, but the county man can only be crowned one person, and the remaining fourteen people will not be rewarded." The children and the robes are like brothers, and everyone doesn't want to take the credit alone, so we discussed it, and simply didn't want the title to be rewarded, but the prince waved his hand, not only gave each of them gold and silver, but also gave them official positions......"

The cow mother was speechless: "Fifteen people are all officials? ”

Niu Laosan was very proud, although he was a dignified nine-foot man, but he looked like a child in front of his mother

"You heard it right, fifteen of us are officials, some are deputy mayors, some are tax chiefs, some are public security chiefs, and the children are the mayors, I am half a level higher than them, and the prince gave me the official seal of Tiance Mansion from the ninth grade!"

"What is from the ninth grade?" The cow mother didn't understand something.

The third grandfather next to him stood up and said with some restraint: "The daughter-in-law of the Niu family, from Jiupin is the official position of the Tang Dynasty, your doll is the same as the lord of the county, and he is a great official!" ”

In fact, Congjipin is a very low-level official position in the Tang Dynasty, but the common people have not seen it, even the elders in this village have only heard of the county officials Congjipin, and they are naturally very big officials in his mind......

Niu Laosan suddenly turned around and said to the three hundred knights who came with him: "It's polite to be listed as a comrade, our three hundred people were sent to Lantian County to build a township, I Niu Laosan thank you for helping me support the field, you also have your own territory, big guys, hurry up!" ”

It turned out that these people were all veterans who were about to take office, everyone laughed, and someone said to Niu Laosan: "Everyone didn't know before, it turns out that your nickname is Sanbiaozi, in the future, we will go to Tiance Mansion to report on our work, and we can't tell the prince ......."

Niu Laosan took a sip and snorted: "Get out, get out, hurry up and go to your territory." The prince said that the construction of townships and towns is the top priority, if anyone gets the first, the prince will come to congratulate him, everyone is from a soldier's background, and he must not be taken away by other counties. ”

He glanced at everyone and said loudly: "We have to compete for the best, friendship is friendship, political achievements are political achievements, the prince said, after a year, he will be assessed chicken farts (that is, GDP, soldiers don't understand) ......"

The knights laughed and waved goodbye, and someone raised his voice: "Niu Laosan, you wait and see, I have to take the first place in the construction of the town, and I have to take the first place in the chicken fart assessment." ”

Hoofs rumbled, dust flew, and the figures of the knights quickly disappeared.

……

……

Several other elders in Niujia Village finally heard the news and rushed over.

These elders are the old men with the highest rank in the clan, they first inquired about the whole story from the onlookers, and then grabbed Niu Laosan and said loudly: "Sanwa, I heard you talk to those military masters just now, it seems that our Niujia Village is going to compete with others!" ”

"It's a competition, but it's a good thing!" Niu Laosan respected several elders very much, and explained in a low voice: "What we want to compare is the speed of village and town construction, as well as the chicken fart assessment of Tiance Mansion, this thing is very important, and there is a grand prize if you win the first place!" ”

"Chicken fart?" A few old men were dazed.

However, they quickly put their minds on other things, and everyone pulled Niu Laosan. asked loudly: "You said that you want to build a town, and the court gave you back the copper coin?" ”

Niu Laosan's face was solemn, and he pointed to the fifteen boxes and said: "The money is here, a full seven thousand five hundred, in fact, the construction of the township yamen is very simple, and the hundred copper coins are completely enough, the reason why the prince allocated so much money is mainly to build houses for the people!" ”

Several old men were stunned and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

There were a few men in the crowd who looked excited and said loudly: "Third brother, do you really want to build a house for the people, and you still use the money of the imperial court?" ”

"Yes, the court pays?"

Niu Laosan nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Our Niujia Village will be upgraded to a town, not only to tear down all the houses, but also to build a large number of new homes, in the future, Niujia Village will be Niujia Town, and there will definitely be many people coming." ”

He paused slightly when he said this, and suddenly bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "A few grandfathers and uncles, the construction of townships and towns is not trivial, Tiance Mansion will conduct assessments, and my prince also values it." We don't want the reward, but the honor of the town can't be lost, I hope the clan can support me, I don't want to be second, I just want to take the first! ”

"Yes!" A few elders patted their thighs and said loudly: "It is worthy of being a baby in Niujia Village, and there is blood in his bones." Don't worry, although our village is poor, there is no shortage of men with hands and feet, everyone is a clansman of the same family, and we will help you get the first place when we are tired. ”

"I'm not going to let everyone help for nothing!" Niu Laosan suddenly spoke, and said with a solemn face: "My prince said, no one can treat the people badly, all workers must give money, strong labor a day 100 wen, women a day 80 wen, even bare-ass dolls have to give money, as long as they can take a hand when they work, they can get 20 wen as a rule." ”

Wow –

There was an uproar in the audience, and the people gasped one by one.

A few old men crooked their eyes, and it took a long time before they trembled and said, "Sanwa, are you sure you don't talk nonsense?" Strong labor a day? Can a woman also get eighty wen? Also, there are twenty pieces of raw melons and eggs? This and this ......"

Niu Laosan laughed and said: "What's wrong with the little brat, my prince said that these twenty wen deliberately let the dolls earn it, and he is now unable to promote compulsory education in the whole world, so he uses this method to let the dolls earn tuition." ”

"Compulsory education?" The people were at a loss again.

First the chicken fart, then the compulsory education, today they have been exposed to too many new words that they don't understand.

Niu Laosan said with a longing face: "Compulsory education is to study without spending money, and the court will pay for the construction of the school to invite Mr., there is a big city in the northeast, and now it has been done, it is the prince's city......"

Wow, you've already done that?

There was another uproar around, and several old men murmured: "You have a prince on the left and a prince on the right, this prince pays for his own money to treat the people well, is he a saint?" ”

"Grandpa is right, the prince is a saint, a living saint in this world!"

Niu Laosan's face was fanatical, he looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said loudly: "The prince once said that the biggest dream in his life is to let all the dolls in the world study. ”

A soldier next to him stood up and said in the same loud voice: "The prince also said that only when all the dolls can read can the people open up the wisdom of the people." ”

Another warrior stood up and said loudly: "The prince finally said that only by doing this great thing will the people not be coaxed and exploited by the family......

Niu Laosan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he sighed: "It's a pity that compulsory education costs too much money, and even the prince feels hard." The prince said that he didn't have so much money for the time being, and he was afraid that he would have to wait a long time to succeed. ”

The more Niu Laosan spoke, the more frustrated he became, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly said loudly: "Third Brother Niu, why don't we take out the gold and silver, this money can be used for compulsory education." ”

Niu Laosan was slightly in a daze, then slapped his thigh, and said happily: "Yes, why didn't Lao Tzu think of it." ”

His face was very excited, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said solemnly: "Gold and silver are everyone's rewards, if anyone is reluctant to withdraw, I will never stop you." ”

"Whew!"

Fourteen of his comrades spoke out in unison and squirted Niu Laosan heavily. "Do you think that your brothers are misers?

Someone laughed and said: "You must know that I am also an official now, and I have to work for the welfare of the villagers under my rule." ”

Another person said: "You said that we should make compulsory education, will it make the prince feel very relieved?" If the prince sets Niujia Town as an example......"

He didn't go on, but everyone's eyes lit up.
