The old village chief scolded:

"Since you have the strength to fight, set up the car tomorrow, our village is on the second day of the new year. Let you know what the real New Year is, from today 18 days do not need to work, do not use for work. Each family can receive five stones of high-quality polished rice, thirty catties of meat, and ...... candy."

The widows who listened to the words of the old village chief were stunned.

There are one ding, half ding, and weak ding. It's just that the proportion has decreased.

Such a huge quantity cannot be transported by the delivery team, and it is up to the villages themselves to pull it back.

Kumamoto's warehouses were already piled up in a mountain, and they didn't have enough transportation capacity, so they originally wanted to distribute them to each village before the Chinese New Year, but now they have to let each village move back on their own.

This huge amount can be run at least twice, or even three times, in a village.

If the road is not good and there is no way to get on the big car, it is estimated that the number of runs will be more.

After the old village chief finished speaking, he opened a can: "Come, the dolls are all lined up, each with a small bowl." Let you taste something good, this thing is very expensive, and it is enough to eat for a month when you change it into dumplings. ”

In fact, there are two kinds of dumplings in the village.

It may seem like the difference, but you don't know until you bite into your mouth.

One is pressed and baked in the way of Datang Qin cakes, and the other is to add half of the starch sugar residue and other miscellaneous ingredients.

These old village chiefs will not tell the Japanese people.

"Come, each girl will be given a flower headscarf......"

"Come on......

The old village chief gave out New Year's goods to the Japanese people, and the Tang people's New Year's goods were not in a hurry, and a large amount of cloth was still in the warehouse in the city, in the warehouse at Kumamoto Wharf, and on the ships that kept transporting it here.

It's getting dark, the village here is even more lively, and the joy of the New Year is beginning to be revealed.

Although the Japanese people don't know what the New Year is, they don't have to go to work for 17 days, and they send rice, meat, and new clothes, which is the most direct New Year's celebration for them.

The people in the village were going crazy with depression.

The old village chief walked to the river and said in a very ordinary voice: "You don't have to be anxious, you don't need to panic, you don't have to covet the good days here." Soon someone will come and put you in order, and give you work, and give you good food, good drink, and good clothing. As long as you work with your heart, everything will be there. ”

As the old village chief spoke, a Japanese man shouted in the local dialect next to him.

At this time, the sky began to fall with snowflakes.

The old village chief said to the widow beside him: "The day after tomorrow, you go to get new clothes, each of you has two sets of clothes now, give them some old ones, the weather is cold, at least don't let the old people and children freeze, we should also have a lot of briquettes, and give them some." ”

"Village chief, they can't take this for nothing, it's not good." The widow replied stiffly.

The old village chief smiled and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Let them send the young men to pull the goods back for us, and their young men are not in the village, and they don't dare to come and steal when we are away. I'm sure others will think the same way. ”

"Well, well said. You are talented, and I am ready to teach you literacy. After speaking, the old village chief took out a small bronze medal from his arms: "You bring this, and take this out when you get the goods, they will give you a special reward for your family, and they will also give you clothes that are different from other people, you are very good, I am optimistic about you, you are talented." ”

The widow immediately fell to the ground: "Your Excellency Village Chief Xie." ”

"Get up, get up. You also have a status, so you don't need such a big gift in the future. Remember, show this sign when you get to the warehouse and have them engrave your name, and you will be identified when you go there. ”

The Japanese still gave another salute, thanked them, and then took the bronze medal with both hands.

"You've taken care of it. Later, it will make you deal with more things and will also give you a life above everyone else. Go ahead. ”

"Your Excellency Village Chief Xie."

This widow felt like he was floating when he walked, and it was obvious that he was already a human being.

The old village chief took out the bronze medal in his arms and looked at it, and tied it tightly when he put it back in the bag.

He has ten bronze medals, this is the first one he gave, and this bronze medal is called the backbone of the village, the assistant to the village chief. The internal name is, quasi-Tang Min.

Just as the county order and the district chief are called differently, not many people know this kind of secret.

Ordinary Tang villagers in this village may not know.

Only at the level of the village chief, Li Zheng, and the village head know these secrets.

As night fell, the new assistant to the village chief had completed his negotiations.

At this time, Chang'an City.

People start their Chinese New Year's Eve in the warmth of their homes.

In the open space in front of the Taiji Hall in the palace, hundreds of felt tents began to hold banquets. In the harem, a buffet garden meal was set up in the garden, and the ladies who were eligible to participate in the night banquet took out the good clothes and jewelry at the bottom of the box and put them on.

When Dugu Lanruo came, she saw Zhang Chuchen standing alone in the corner of the garden.

"Why is my sister standing here?"

Zhang Chuchen glanced up at the moon in the sky: "I haven't seen it for seven years, but I have to hurry for a while, saying that I won't return to the Central Plains if I don't set up a great cause, and when I return to Chang'an, the scenery will be red." ”

After hearing this, Dugu Lanruo knew that Zhang Zhongjian was gone.

Zhang Zhongjian returned to Chang'an and did not see Zhang Chuchen, hid in Fang Xuanling's mansion, took Jiang Ke with him, and Du Ruhui also visited from time to time, and after secretly studying for a few days, Zhang Zhongjian was ready to leave Chang'an and go north to Beihai.

Before leaving, I met Zhang Chuchen.

At that time, Zhang Chuchen was pleasantly surprised that there were tears in his eyes, but who would have thought that Zhang Zhongjian didn't even drink a glass of water, so he left after leaving that word.

Dugu Lanruo said in a low voice: "Mu knows that he is there. ”

"Don't ask." Zhang Chuchen shook his head: "The man's fame will be taken immediately, since he has the heart to contribute to the country and choose the road to worship the general, then wait for his Taiji Hall to be red." I just didn't think about whether to tell the pharmacist to know. ”

"After looking for Jieli?" Dugu Lanruo gave a suggestion.

Zhang Chuchen nodded slightly: "That's right, it is estimated that these men in Chang'an City are going to go with their lives, if anyone misses it, it is estimated that they can regret it for ten years." ”

"I don't want to go."

After hearing Dugu Lanruo's words, Zhang Chuchen smiled: "He wants to go but can't, you think he doesn't want to go." My pharmacist said that the Northern Expedition Jieli must leave Liu Mu in Chang'an, and let the Turkic spies know that he has been in Chang'an. ”

"He's afraid that Jieli will be scared?" Dugu Lanruo asked in surprise.

"I don't know if I'm scared or not, but if he prepares for Armageddon and destroys the main force of Jieli in a battle, he is not suitable to appear. Jieli will definitely choose to avoid, the grain and grass consumed by the army is huge, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is not enough to support the two wars, so Jieli must be solved in a big battle. Otherwise it's troublesome. ”
