The official office of Yingtianwu in Zhaoluo Town was built on the edge of the Ru River, and there was a small wharf of its own next to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is much more precise, it is not like a government yamen, but more like a freight yard by the Joux River, and the official office is attached.

Just as people speak with a local accent, so do government institutions. From the very beginning, the field work was to open up the wasteland and grow grain, and there were only workers under the rule, and there were no ordinary people. And unlike the general countryside, this is not a small family atmosphere, but a simple and rough atmosphere.

Just like the official office in Zhaoluo Town, there are not many buildings, and the materials used are simple, and there is no even the simplest decoration. But it occupies a very large area, and it holds a large section of the riverbank, and it is a large freight yard and grassland inside. In front of the door, there is a wide gravel road that leads to the avenue not far away. The gravel road is wider than the avenue, and I feel panicked when I walk on it.

In the past two years, Wang Gongchen has already gotten rid of his scholarly anger, whether it is the country road when he came, or this wide gravel road, he is talking and laughing, these places are like natural territory that belongs to him.

People are always unconsciously changed by the environment, Xu Ping sighed secretly in his heart. Wang Gongchen can become like this, not only because of the environment of the camp field, but also because of the fact that Wang Gongchen has developed rapidly since he built the camp field. Although there were various difficulties, there were no artificial obstacles, and the results of the work were immediate, and the political achievements were outstanding.

The rapid development of the cause will also affect the people engaged in this career, and they always show a kind of energetic temperament, which is really envied by others. At this time, Wang Gongchen and the poor scholar who studied in the pavilion two years ago were really like two people, with more self-confidence and more confidence to strive for the first.

The official office looks very large, but in fact there are not a few people in it, and these few people have also opened vegetable fields in the yard, built pens to raise livestock and poultry, and never changed the true nature of the farm.

When I arrived at the backyard of the government office, there was a row of large willow trees on the edge of the Ru River, and a few tables and stools were randomly placed under the trees.

Wang Gongchen instructed his entourage to take everyone's horses away, tie them to the place where the horses are raised and feed some forage, and said to Xu Ping: "Ducao, Zhizhou, I am a little shabby here, you don't have to pick on it." ”

Xu Ping and Zhao Yan hurriedly said no, and watched Tan Hu lead people over to clean up the tables and stools and place them neatly.

Wang Gongchen said with a smile: "Our farmers are all used to being casual, and they are not as particular as the people of Ducao." I've been here a few times, and the tables are all so messy, and the first time I saw it today, it was finally tidy. ”

Xu Ping said: "It's good to be casual, neat is just good-looking, and it may not be as convenient as you are casually." ”

Although he said this, he didn't stop Tan Hu and let them clean up this place.

It's not that Xu Ping is poor, it's just a different style. He is accustomed to strict discipline, a high degree of organization, and preferably a uniform movement, and does not like to be unconventional. There is no right or wrong, different people have different temperaments.

After cleaning up, several people sat down separately. Wang Gongchen sat down on the seat, looked left and right, and suddenly laughed: "Being cleaned up by Tan Hu and a few people, why do I feel strange, this is not my own place!" ”

Several people laughed together, and Zhao Yan said: "Yunxing is also lifting the camp field on this road, this is originally his place!" ”

The supervisor of this office came to salute, and Wang Gongchen said: "We have distinguished guests here today, what good things do you have to entertain?" ”

The supervisor bowed his hand: "Back to the official, a few of my subordinates went to the Ru River this afternoon to lay a few nets, and caught a few big golden carp, as well as a shrimp and crab." There were chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the yard, which had been slaughtered and washed, but I didn't know the taste of the guests, I didn't know whether they were going to be boiled or roasted, and they were put there. ”

Wang Gongchen waved his hand: "There are a lot of exquisiteness, you just have to cook and bake, and when it is cooked, it will be done." By the way, let's have a few plates of melons and fruits to drink, and the dishes will come up slowly. ”

The warden answered, and turned away.

This supervisor was the lowest-ranking petty military attaché, who had risen from the rank of official. A large number of such people in the camp and field affairs were either selected from among the public officials according to the rules, or they were petty military attachés in various forbidden armies. Anyway, as long as you contribute to farming, you won't make a big mess, and these should be done. This kind of livelihood is not willing to be done by scholars, so they can only rely on them.

It didn't take long for a few melons and fruits to be brought up. It is nothing more than the water lotus root in the river, the peaches and apricots on the trees, the watermelons and grapes in the ground, and a few fresh vegetables grown in the vegetable field in the yard. The cleaning techniques are very rough, and most of the dishes are placed on the plate in half, but fortunately, they are fresh and fresh, and they look delightful.

Wang Gongchen was mixed up and asked Xu Ping: "Du Cao, are we drinking spirits or water wine today?" Oh, and there's also home-brewed fruit wine. The nearby mountains are rich in peaches, and the small ones use them to make monkey wine, which tastes good. ”

Xu Ping looked at Zhao Yan and said with a smile: "Just drink monkey wine, we don't have anyone who is addicted to alcohol here." ”

Wang Gongchen agreed, turned around and ordered.

Yang peach is the kiwi fruit that Xu Ping said in his previous life, and there are many mountains near here. This fruit is not easy to store after picking, there are people outside the mountain as treasures, want to eat and can't eat, people in the mountains are like dirt, in autumn under the tree everywhere, directly rotten. These are the things that have never been lacking in the camp and field affairs, so they pick them up and make wine. It is called monkey wine because legend has it that this method of making wine was learned from the monkey in the mountains, in fact, the current winemaking is improved by Xu Ping, but the old name is still used.

The sun had gone down, the coolness of the day had slowly dissipated, and a cool breeze with water vapor blew on the river of Joux, which blew on people's faces and made them feel very refreshed. Surrounded by low mountains, lying quietly in the twilight, it seems very peaceful.

It is said that it is in the mountains, but in fact, this area is a large mountain valley, a small plain alluvial from the Ru River, and the soil is very fertile. It's just that because of the war in the late Tang Dynasty, it was sparsely populated and slowly became a mountain wasteland. The camp chose here because of the rich soil, the Ru River and its several small tributaries, and the water source is not short, so it is a good place for agricultural planting. The only bad thing is that there are small hills all around, and when there is a torrential rain, there is no place to drain the water, and it is easy to flood. The River Joux is not a big river, and its drainage capacity is a little worse.

In Tangzhou, Ruzhou, there were many small basins and valleys in the mountains at this time, and they were basically in a state of abandonment. Not because the land is barren, but because the population in this area is too small to be exploited. The mountains in these two territories are small dirt mountains, not stone mountains that cannot be developed, and once there is manpower, agriculture has great potential.
