Shuzhong was originally a mild climate, and now it is the middle of March, and when Wang Shoutian built the county seat, it is customary to plant wicker and trees on the streets and the side of the small river in the city, many of which are peach and plum, so the streets and rivers are both bright purple and red, and many of the ground are new green.

1,200 households, although they are now working collectively, but there are also some people in the county, and some businessmen come, and when they meet some temple fairs, there are merchants in the government who come early, and some shopkeepers have opened shops in the county, and the whole county is not deserted.

On top of this hotel, a group of people went to the restaurant.

Chai Maosen went upstairs and sat down with the guest of honor, of course, there were only three people who were qualified to sit, and the others were scattered outside with two tables, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

The shopkeeper had been guarding for a long time, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he said, "Please sit down, what do you want?"

"If you have any dishes, you don't care about the price, just order six or seven. Wang Shoutian said casually: "Take some good wine, don't fool me with seepage!"

"Okay, man, hurry up and give the guest officer a hot wine, open the old brew of the Cheng family in our store, and serve it to the guest officer!"

"Yes!" the shopkeeper sang: "Serve wine to the guest officer!"

I was so busy that I went downstairs.

At this time, Chai Maosen looked at Wang Shoutian carefully, and saw that Wang Shoutian's clothes were not surprising, he was not wearing an official uniform, only a gray silk robe, but he was spotless.

Looking at the age is indeed very young, but the dark eyes are bright, the attitude is calm, and there is naturally a calm bearing, which is heartbreaking, so he can't help but nod secretly.

In an instant, the two dishes have been delivered, and the wine is also warm, Wang Shoutian raised his glass to congratulate him, and said: "Mr. Chai, I am not a false encounter, the county is full of thousands of households, but it is newly built, and even the six Cao in the county are half empty, not to mention the other rooms and classes, Mr. Chai can come remotely, which shows my sincerity to me, I will congratulate Mr. He for a glass." ”

Chai Maosen smiled and said politely: "The adults are so loving, the villains are really afraid, the villains are shallow, and a small official in the countryside, how can he be so praised by the adults? But if the adults are appreciative, the villains will do their best to serve the adults!"

"That's good, that's good, I'm able to hold a wine at the same table with Mr. Chai today, it's really not a shallow fate, come, eat happily!" After saying that, the two raised their glasses and drank together, Wang Shoutian was full of smiles, and asked again: "Mr. Chai came from afar, the bystanders are clear, please teach me." ”

"I came to the third day, and I have seen adults digging canals and fields, building water conservancy, persuading farmers and mulberries, and training strong soldiers, which is indeed extraordinary, but I see the pattern of this county, and I am afraid that the reclamation will stop here. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Wang Shoutian was stunned.

"Brother, I see that there are a lot of barren fields outside, how can I say that reclamation has stopped here?" Chai Jia also hurriedly asked: "I think it is more than enough to open another 100,000 acres." ”

"Hey, of course, it is more than enough to reclaim more than 100,000 acres of land in a county, but it is Taisu County opposite, and Taisu County is based on Taisu County, and Taisu County is also a big county. Chai Maosen naturally wanted to show one or two, and said: "How can you watch the reclamation of this county? Originally, the reclamation was within a few miles of the county seat, of course, it doesn't matter, if you build a township and a village a few miles away, I am afraid that the middle of the river will not sit idly by, I am afraid that I will send troops to plunder, but it is in vain." ”

"If you don't get rid of Sichuan, it's hard to build this county!" he finally concluded.

When Wang Shoutian heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Chai is really talented, what he said is, come, let's have another drink." ”

When this cup was drunk again, Wang Shoutian said solemnly: "Mr. Chai, you will first serve as an official in this county, and when the county is established, it will not be too late to be promoted, how about it?"

"Dare not obey the order? Chai Maosen got up and bowed.

Now that he has bowed and determined the status of the monarch and minister, the atmosphere is different, and after taking his seat again, Chai Maosen said: "But the lord doesn't have to worry in the near future, Liu Siming is the lord of a town, and death is a big deal." ”

"Small collection, big collection, grave searching, carving seals, funeral corpses, large repatriation, filial piety, even if it is simple now, it can't be taken down in a month, and it must be two months before and after. ”

"In addition, it will take time for the new lord to ascend the throne and become familiar with military and political affairs, so before June, the lord does not have to worry. ”

Wang Shoutian nodded again and again, of course he didn't know what he said on the earth, but now he inherited his memory, but he knew, for example, the seal, which was the jade seal engraved with the name.

In ancient times, after the death of emperors, princes, and ministers, they were given a nickname according to their life and deeds. The name is engraved on the seal and seal, and buried in the mausoleum along with the coffin, which is the seal, and it is said that after death, it is used to order the ghosts and gods.

The funeral corpse is a mortuary, and the corpse is not buried and called a funeral, so the corpse is a funeral corpse before entering the coffin and being buried. The length of time for a corpse varies depending on the status, with the higher the status, the longer the funeral time.

Filial piety is the descendants of the mourning, the highest ancient funeral provisions for three years, later reduced to 100 days, and then 49 days, and finally the simplest 27 days.

In short, this set of procedures in ancient times, especially for people with status, took a long time, and there was no problem until June, which was still relatively practical.

Wang Shoutian nodded again and again and said, "Good!"

After a drink, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon before it dispersed, Wang Shoutian ordered him to rest today, and report to the county government early tomorrow morning, and Chai Maosen immediately agreed.

When Wang Shoutian came back, he saw that outside the county office, there were more than 50 horsemen, all of them leading war horses, with an awe-inspiring aura on their bodies, and they couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Wang Shoutian and didn't salute.

The two middle-aged generals stood at the door and did not go in, and when they saw Wang Shoutian coming, they stepped forward and asked, "Is it Captain Wang?"

It's about the military rank.

"It's me, who are you?"

"The last general, Jia Dou (Zhang Zhonglu), has seen the captain. Of the two, one did not kneel but gave a military salute, and the other knelt.

"Who are you?" Wang Shoutian frowned, said inquiringly, and after listening to the introduction, he knew that Jia Dou was a handsome general, although there was only one team (fifty people), but it was a cavalry, so the official position was also Guoyi's captain.

Zhang Zhonglu looks like he is in his forties, but he is a captain of the original Marshal's Mansion, it is said that he was originally a personal soldier who followed the Marshal early, but this person is rigid and serious, and he is not very accommodating to people, so he has never been able to be promoted.

Wang Shoutian hurriedly said: "Two of you, please come in, by the way, the other cavalry, just enter the barracks, there is already a barracks, and I have already ordered to prepare food and lodging." ”

Jia Dou nodded, said to a deputy in the back, and Wang Shoutian also said, send a personal soldier to lead, only listen to the sound of "boom", not much time, a group of cavalry went away, leaving only two personal soldiers.

All along, this cavalry did not salute Wang Shoutian, and Wang Shoutian couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the rebellion of the soldiers.

Wang Shoutian was naturally very grateful for the arrival of Jia Dou and Zhang Zhonglu, welcomed the two into the county yamen to entertain, asked if he had not eaten Chinese food, and immediately ordered a banquet in the yamen.

If you don't have time to prepare, go to an outside hotel to buy it.

Under Wang Shoutian's order, it only took a moment for him to serve the dishes immediately, and more than 20 dishes were served in succession, and Wang Shoutian personally served the pot and served the wine.

Jia Dou and Zhang Zhonglu were both typical ancient soldiers, and they immediately ate and drank.

When he had eaten almost, Jia Dou said: "This time I am under the orders of the marshal, and I will be at your disposal, you can rest assured, these more than 50 sons of a certain family are all elites in the army, even if they are dispatched in Sichuan, they can also fight." ”

Of course, Wang Shoutian believes that because in the entire town, there are only two hundred elite cavalry, and its main general Ding Huchen, the two battalions Zheng Dacheng, and Xu Ling are all familiar with it, but of course they are not very familiar with it below.

In his previous life, Ding Huchen was a loyal minister, and he was greatly favored by the old man to protect the young master, and at the last moment he tried to save Wang Shoutian, but the following Xu Ling mutinied and killed the main general.

I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, but I didn't show my face, and said: "I can rest assured that Captain Jia can come, Captain Jia has come from afar, it must be hard, come here, give a gift." ”

At the sound of the order, a man came with two trays of silver, one plate was one hundred taels, a whole twenty silver ingots, and one plate was only eight silver ingots forty taels.

"Captain Jia, please smile!"

Jia Dou's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became much more enthusiastic, and said: "Lord Wang is bold, no wonder he can kill Chen Xiang, and this family will accept it." ”

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a pro-soldier stepped forward to accept it.

"Captain Zhang, you came here this time, but you want to serve as the judge in the army, and the law in the county, how about it?"

Zhang Zhonglu didn't dare to do this, he knelt down and saluted, and said in a rough voice: "Yes, the law is respected in the army, and there is no military discipline and military discipline. ”

Wang Shoutian glanced at him, paid some attention, but said: "Get up, come here, and give Captain Zhang these settling-in expenses." ”

Zhang Zhonglu did not refuse, and accepted the thanks.

Continuing to drink with him, Wang Shoutian's eyes were a little straight, and finally, after sending the two away, Wang Shoutian came to the study slowly.

The county government study room has just been built, and there are only dozens of books, Wang Shoutian called: "Call Wang Dan to come over." ”

After a while, a soldier about thirty years old came over and saw Wang Shoutian, which was a "snap" salute, this is the clansman of the Wang family, in fact, according to the generation, Wang Shoutian also has to call Uncle Sheng, although it is a little far away, it was originally a fire chief.

"Wang Dan, you are a member of my Wang family, this time Zhang Zhonglu is here, I will send you to be his deputy, you have to follow him to learn how to recite military law, learn more skills, whether it is a soldier in the county or a military judge in the army, there will be a place in the future!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I know that everything is in the hands of the Wang family themselves. ”

"That's good, it's good if you understand, there are a few people from the Wang family, you have more training, understand?"

"Understood!" Wang Dan said dryly.

Wang Shoutian is very satisfied, in ancient times, the cohesion of the family is indeed not comparable to outsiders, Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge of the army, all the villagers were used, because Zhu Yuanzhang's relatives were not big, no one was available, this person received dozens of righteous sons, relying on them to supervise the whole army, and he was also an official of supervision and law enforcement.

Later, of course, fewer and fewer Yoshiko died, and fewer and fewer survived, and in the end it was said that only Yoshiko survived.

But it can also be seen that the power of this kinship can be seen, and Wang Shoutian will not rebel against the sky in this regard.

However, in this way, the whole system is complete, but the so-called wings are gradually growing.
