Back at the Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo didn't go anywhere, and stayed in the office to read a book.

Gu Sanniang said outside: "My lord, there is a person named Wang Er outside, who said that he was looking for you!" ”

"Wang Er?" Ouyang Shuo was confused.

"Yes. It's a stonemason, and he said that he had an agreement with the adults before. ”

Oh, he remembered, it turned out to be the same stonemason he had met on the construction site before, and he had come to him as a witness. Unexpectedly, this young man's speed is quite fast.

"I see, bring him in!" Ouyang Shuo instructed Gu Sanniang.

"Okay!"

After a while, Wang Er followed behind Gu Sanniang, walked into the office, and said respectfully: "Xiaomin Wang Er, meet your lord!" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "I already know your intentions. Let's talk about it, when will the wedding take place? ”

"Tell your lord, Xiaomin will hold a wedding tomorrow evening." Wang Er said solemnly.

"Okay, tomorrow evening, as soon as I'm allowed to go, you can rest assured!"

Hearing Ouyang Shuo's promise, Wang Er bowed happily to him and said, "Thank you, my lord!" Thank you, sir! ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea. Gu Sanniang understood, and pulled Wang Er, who had not yet eased up, to leave the office.

In the evening, the three dogs of the Military Intelligence Division brought good news.

"My lord, the Military Intelligence Department has lived up to its mission and finally found the mulberry sapling outside the territory." Sangouzi walked into the office and said hurriedly.

Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's finally a result." This is about to be upgraded to a first-class township, and if I don't find it again, I'll have to beat your military intelligence department's board. ”

The three dogs smiled, "My lord, it's more than this good news. Not far from the sapling of a mulberry tree, one of our scouts found the trail of a wild goat. At this time, General Shi had already set off with a cavalry squadron. According to the general's intention, it is to be tracked overnight, for fear of missing it again. ”

"Okay, good things come in pairs. The saplings of the mulberry tree should be handed over to the Reclamation Division as soon as possible! Ouyang Shuo commanded with a smile. For the night operation of the cavalry squadron, he was not very worried. The Military Intelligence Department has long since reconnoitred that there is no other threat in the vicinity of the territory except for the mid-level rogue camp that has been wiped out.

At ten o'clock in the morning of February 13, the cavalry squadron returned with a full load. Hundreds of cavalrymen, driving more than 50 wild goats, rushed towards the village.

Seeing these wild goats, Zhao Dewang, director of the construction department, jumped to his feet in a hurry, scolded and arranged for the workers to hurry up and build the sheepfold.

Fortunately, wild goats are relatively docile animals, and they do not run around and gather together quietly. Seeing this scene, Du Xiaolan arranged for someone to bring fodder from the warehouse and feed them. Since the day the bison were domesticated, the Supply Division has consciously stockpiled a batch of high-quality forage, which finally came in handy.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the sheepfold was finally built. Ouyang Shuo watched the sheep being driven into the sheepfold and thought thoughtfully. Back at the Lord's Mansion, he summoned Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing, Cui Yingyu, and Zhao Dexian to his office to discuss things.

Fan Tian Cui and the three of them are secretly called the Big Three by the administrators of Shanhai Village. Walking into the village chief's office with the Big Three, Zhao Dexian was a little apprehensive.

Ouyang Shuo didn't beat around the bush either, and said straight to the point: "With the further expansion of animal husbandry in the territory, coupled with the mulberry garden that is about to be built, the agriculture of Shanhai Village has slowly begun to get on the right track. At this time, it is very necessary to set up a special department to coordinate management. ”

Zhao Dexian's heart jumped, and it instantly became hot. According to the meaning of the adult's words, it is necessary to establish a strong department covering agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry. glanced at a few people present, except for him, all of them held important positions. Is it difficult to say that this position is going to fall to him?

Fan Zhongyan casually glanced at Tian Wenjing and said, "The lord means to separate animal husbandry from the Material Reserve Administration?" ”

According to the general division of jurisdiction, industries such as animal husbandry should be placed under the jurisdiction of the administrative department.

Because the material reserve department during Cui Yingyu's period was too strong, and he won Ouyang Shuo's trust. In addition, the animal husbandry industry was also very weak at that time, and there was not much weight, so no one said anything. After a long time, it has become a problem left over from history.

After Fan Zhongyan took over the Administration Bureau, although he had the intention to retract these powers, he could not find a suitable breakthrough. This time, Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the wild goat's momentum to take the initiative to mention the issue of adjusting the jurisdiction of animal husbandry, and he naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire.

Tian Wenjing, the newly appointed director of the Material Reserve Administration, was expressionless, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Ouyang Shuo pretended not to know and continued: "Not only that. The fishery also needs to be stripped out. In addition to controlling strategic materials such as timber, stone and ore, the responsibility of the Material Reserve Agency is more inclined to the storage management of materials than to the control of the source of production, which in itself is somewhat inappropriate. ”

Tian Wenjing nodded and said calmly: "I agree with the lord's opinion. With the vigorous development of various sub-industries in the territory, it is time to establish a more professional and effective department. ”

Cui Yingyu sat on the side, watching a few people fight, and it was difficult to interject. Besides, the crux of these problems has nothing to do with her. At this time, she could only remain silent.

Seeing Tian Wenjing take the initiative to back down, Cui Yingyu asked with a smile: "What does big brother mean, what should be the name of this department, and who should be the chief officer?" After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Zhao Dexian.

"Since it is in charge of agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry, it is naturally called the Department of Agriculture. In my opinion, there is no need to set up a new department, and the original Bureau of Reclamation will be directly upgraded to the Department of Agriculture. The appointments and reporting lines of the Agriculture Division remain unchanged. Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

Cui Yingyu nodded, not surprised by this arrangement. At this point, the Department of Agriculture has become the most important department of the Administration Department.

When the dust settled, Zhao Dexian got up, bowed, and said loudly: "Thank you for your trust." ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Director Zhao's ability, I believe in it." In the past, whether it was in the construction department or in the agricultural reclamation department, they performed very well. I hope you can achieve better results in your new department! ”

"I will live up to the trust of adults!" Zhao Dexian regained his composure and said firmly.

Among the civil officials cultivated in Shanhai Village, Zhao Dexian's ability is second only to Cui Yingyu and Gu Xiuwen, and he is much better than Zhao Youfang and Zhao Dewang. He once served as the village head, and when the time is right, Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to give him a broader platform.

In the evening, Ouyang Shuo took the second child to the residential area to attend the wedding of Wang Er and Cuihua.

The general process of ancient weddings is six procedures: Nacai, Xiangming, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Welcome. The wedding is a big climax of the whole wedding. The bridegroom's daughter will personally open the door of the sedan car and invite the bride, and then a blessed elder of the man will hand over a red rope belt tied into concentric knots to the bride and groom.

The two of them walked into the auditorium with red ropes and did not step on the threshold: the threshold represents the façade, and the bride must step over the threshold. And the girl holds a bronze mirror to shine on the bride and groom in order to achieve happiness and consummation.

Shanhai Village is in poor condition, and most of the villagers are also alone, that is, they have no parents, elders, relatives and friends. Therefore, the whole wedding ceremony was designed to be relatively simple, and it was not strictly carried out according to the six procedures.

Fortunately, the Material Reserve Bureau was instructed by Ouyang Shuo, and yesterday afternoon he had sent people to send red silk cloth, rice noodles, melons and fruits and other items, and the scene did not look too cold.

When Ouyang Shuo arrived at the courtyard of Wang Er's house, Wang Erzheng was at the door.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, he hurriedly stepped forward and said dryly: "My lord's visit to the cold house is really brilliant. "Poor to see, these few words of crepe were temporarily taught by Mr. Gu in the morning.

Ouyang Shuo nodded amusedly, and the second baby sprang out from behind and handed over the congratulatory gift with a smile. It was a fine piece of silk, which he had bought from the market. As a lord, I personally attended the wedding of the lord, and the congratulatory gifts I gave should naturally not be too shabby.

This time, Ouyang Shuo didn't show a lot of fanfare for the heads of the lord's mansion to come, in that case, it would be too noisy, but it would not be beautiful. Even Qing'er, the little girl, clamored to come and join in the fun, but he didn't agree. I only brought two babies over, and I waited for them left and right.

Wang Er's new home is a typical farm yard. Passing through the main entrance, there is a small courtyard. In the corner of the courtyard, a jujube tree is planted. Next to the jujube tree, there is a well. On the east and west sides, there is a kitchen, a firewood room, and a poultry house for raising poultry. There are only three small rooms in the main hall, and the middle one is the hall and a place for the family to eat. On the left and right sides, there is a bedroom on each side.

Although the yard is small, it has all kinds of organs. It can be seen that Wang Er is also a diligent person, and the yard is cleaned up neatly, which makes people feel good.

In the courtyard, two tables of wedding wine have been set up. Those who came to the wedding were either fellow villagers before Wang Er, or stonemasons who worked together. It can be seen that the young man's popularity is still very good.

Wang Er personally led Ouyang Shuo to the chairman of the hall and sat down. The second baby was clever, and did not sit down with him, but took the initiative to run to the yard and find a place to sit by himself.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Zhao Dewang, who came first, hurriedly got up and said hello. Wang Er belongs to the craftsman household and is under the jurisdiction of the Construction Department. He has great powers, and he even invited the director of the construction department to attend the wedding.

Before coming, Zhao Dewang didn't expect that adults would also come to the wedding, so he was very surprised. I am glad that I have come to the right place this time. When adults see that they care about their subordinates so much, they should value themselves even more.

The fact is also the same, Ouyang Shuo saw Zhao Dewang, and his heart was relieved. There is a chat, so that it will not be too dull to sit alone in the upper seat.

Before the banquet, Wang Er led the bride Cuihua to greet Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo said a few auspicious words, and then let the bride go back to the room. He knew that the bride of ancient times should not show her head on her wedding night. It's only he, the lord, who has such a big face.

A wedding is lively.

After the banquet, Ouyang Shuo symbolically ate something and got up to leave. He also knew that with him, the guests in the courtyard would not dare to make too much trouble. It's better to leave early and leave them happy.
