At the beginning of October, the entire county town had been cleared out, and the empty ones were empty, but the five squares had been basically completed, and 500 households could live in them.

Outside, with the help of ploughing cattle, at the beginning of October, the 3,000 acres of wheat fields outside have been cultivated, although the output will not be very high in the first year, but as long as there is output.

"My lord has an order, each household is divided into ten acres of land, the first year is exempt from tax grain, the second year is half of the grain, if there are those who can be soldiers, ten acres of land are added for each ding, forty percent of the land is levied, and they are exempt from forced labor!" On the street, there were soldiers banging gongs and shouting, reading out Wang Shoutian's order.

With the payment of work in lieu of work and the distribution of military rations, the 500 households looked much better, and when they heard this, a large crowd of people talked about it.

According to the law of the founding of this dynasty, the people must also serve one month of unpaid labor in the county every year, engaged in local civil engineering, building bridges and roads, managing rivers and canals, transferring Cao Gu and other labor, but with the development of the years, now the forced labor is getting heavier and heavier, even more than heavy taxes, so that the people can not bear it.

Therefore, as soon as this order came out, although there were doubts, most people still talked about it.

According to the law of the imperial court, 6,000 households above the county, 3,000 households above the middle county, less than 3,000 households for the lower county, less than 1,000 households, not called the county, hey, I am an eight-grade official, if you want to gather gas to break through the life, at least you have to get a thousand households. Wang Shoutian thought intently.

At this time, after a period of time, the people have been partially relieved, and in the clouds above Wang Shoutian, the slightest white gas is permeated, and it has increased a lot.

This cloud faintly formed a seal, the outer outline of the seal is golden, but the inside is filled with white gas, half of it is already diffused and full, but if you look closely, you can still see a trace of gray gas mixed in it, which is a sign that the people's hearts have not been completely settled.

There are two main types of gas, one is given by Shangguan, and the other is to master strength, for Wang Shoutian, he is more willing to lay a solid foundation.

However, before the harvest in May next year and the direct benefits are given to the people, it is only delusional to attract the homeless, and according to the current regulations, it is to find scribes and train soldiers.

The key is to establish a political power team, in other words, although the county is small, the five organs are complete, and the county-level team and the central government are actually not fundamentally different.

The way is the first thing in everything, and this system and team are the way of politics!

If you don't take precautions, even if you become a festival envoy in the future, you will be subject to the original system everywhere.

Besides, I haven't been back for several months, and I should go to see my mother, as soon as I thought of this, Wang Shoutian let out a sigh.

Three days later, on a road near Futian County, there were some passers-by hurrying.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.

Those who can ride horses are either messengers or officials, and the people on the side of the road have avoided to the side, and when they looked over, they saw this group of cavalry, galloping forward, all wearing brocade clothes, especially a young man headed by him, wearing official uniforms, and he was even more heroic, so that all passers-by hurriedly bowed their heads and were silent.

"Brother He, let's ride back, it's really majestic. Su Hu looked at He Zhong beside him with a smile.

These people are the team that has returned home, with two tooth soldiers, all riding horses, except for Wang Shoutian, they are all wearing brocade clothes, and Wang Shoutian is wearing a brand-new eight-grade official uniform.

Wang Shoutian is a young man, and he is wearing this official uniform, which does look very heroic.

At this time, Wang Shoutian is no longer the cloth clothes he once had, the so-called wealth does not return to his hometown, such as a night walk in clothes, this return to the hometown group, of course, he must wear wealth and give his mother a surprise.

Therefore, at this time, go back in official uniforms.

Most of the seven people who went back with him were in a very good mood, all wearing brocade clothes and silver in their pockets, and they were all looking forward to returning home.

Only He Zhong was silent, and could only sigh speechlessly at the smile of his companion.

Since the last incident, the petty officials have obviously been much colder, although they have been promoted to the fire chief, but the previous feelings are gone, and in the future, they will be on official business - those who are rewarded will be rewarded, and those who should be punished will be punished.

And when the superior loses his affection, it will naturally be a thought of good and bad.

However, this cannot be said.

After walking a little further, dark clouds gathered in the sky.

"The rain is coming, come on, let's find a shed, don't get wet. Wang Shoutian reacted quickly, immediately shouted, looked around on the horse, and said, "Let's go quickly, there is a shed in front." ”

As he spoke, a dark cloud swept in, and after a while it covered the sky for a long time, and then the rain fell.

The group had already arrived under a pergola by this time, and immediately led the horses and entered.

The rain fell, and after looking at the rainy day, in order not to stain the official uniform, Wang Shoutian found a clean dress from the horse's oilcloth and put it on, and put the official uniform in the oilcloth.

"yes, it can't get dirty. The rest of the people immediately came to their senses and changed into civilian clothes.

The rain fell from the air, and at this time on the official road, there was not even a single figure, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the white rain and mist were like white yarns.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the raindrops hit the stagnant water obliquely, stirring up splashes.

Blown by the wind, it was a little cool, looking at this rainy scene, I don't know why, an indescribable feeling in the body, which was born, with joy and anticipation in the sourness.

"It's been like this for many years...... although this life has not been away from home for a short time, only three months, but if you count the previous life, more than ten years have passed.

And in the previous life, due to the defeat of Wang Shoutian and imprisonment, his mother was widowed and unhappy, and died seven years later, and did not fulfill his filial piety.

At this time, when I thought of returning home, the feeling in my heart came naturally, and even the calm Haoran righteousness fluctuated a little.

For a while, I was in a trance, and I couldn't tell where I was.

Before you know it, the rain stopped.

"Little official, the rain has stopped!" the attendant Su Hu called him.

Wang Shoutian woke up from his memories at this time, turned over his horse, and followed.

Futian County is a small county seat in the county, with a total of 11 townships, and the township where Wang Shoutian is located is the farthest from the county seat.

About half a mile away from the entrance of the village, there is a small river called Futian River.

The water of this river is clear, and it is where people in the neighborhood carry water and do laundry.

On one side of the Futian River, there is a forest that extends to the periphery of the forest on the back mountain, and occasionally small animals appear, so some people in the town who have nothing to do will occasionally go to the grove to catch some small beasts and make tooth sacrifices.

However, legend has it that there are wild beasts or wild people in the depths of the woods, and most people dare not go deeper.

The periphery is very safe, I have never heard of anyone being injured by wild beasts, and ordinary people picking wild vegetables or hunting are wandering around the periphery.

At this time, in front of this forest, several people were gathered.

It looks like a teenager from a better family in the neighborhood is playing.

Among them, the most conspicuous is the teenager who is surrounded in the center, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although he was not dressed very luxuriously, the colors he chose were very conspicuous, and he had a fair face, and if he ignored the slightly dark circles and somewhat godless eyes, he could be regarded as a handsome man.

At this time, they had just caught a small beast, and were discussing whether to continue deeper into the woods or go home.

"Young master, I don't think it's better to go in, if you encounter a beast in the depths and something goes wrong, the two of us won't be able to explain to the master!" said a follower to the young man with some concern.

This place is already far away from the outskirts, and it is even more unsafe to go deeper.

Following these teenagers out, they are two followers, even if they usually learn martial arts, and suddenly there are beasts such as tigers and leopards, they can't resist it!

"Hmph, if you're afraid, get out of the way! What two wastes, so timid, what's the use of my father raising you?!" the young man snorted coldly, and galloped inside.

"Young master, young master, we are also thinking about your safety!" Seeing that the young man was far away, the attendant who spoke shook his head helplessly and chased after him.

Not long after leaving, there was a sound in the forest.

"Be careful! There is movement!" The attendant who spoke before reacted very alertly, and as soon as he heard the movement, he immediately clenched his waist knife vigilantly.

Although the young man had been shouting to come in before, he was also a little scared when he saw this formation.

He nervously said to the attendant, "You two go over and have a look!"

The attendant was stunned for a moment, secretly complaining in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he said in a deep voice to another attendant: "Hey, go over and see what the situation is!"

This man seemed to have a relatively low status, and when he said this, he clenched the waist knife in his hand and walked forward.

"What about you, why don't you come over?" said the young man, glaring at the man who had stayed, very dissatisfied.

"I'm going, there is no one around the young master, how can I protect you?" The attendant lowered his head and said with a smile, if it was a mature person, he would think it was good, but the young man's temper flareed up, and he roared angrily: "Young master, I said that one is one, I don't need your protection!

"Alright then!" the attendant had a helpless face, so he had to follow the man before.

After only a few steps, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the lush grass in front of him, and then a huge figure emerged from under the grass.

The three of them were so frightened that they didn't even dare to look closely, they each screamed, and even ran out of the woods with a rolling belt, running desperately.

The three of them, until they ran out in a fit of rage, didn't figure out what the one was that pounced, but fortunately the monster didn't chase it out, and they didn't dare to go back and look at it again.

After the boy escaped, he found that the little beast he had hunted had also been lost by his subordinates, and he immediately scolded in a state of fear, anger and shame: "You two wastes, you escaped in a blink of an eye, what is my father raising you for?"

Of course, he wouldn't think about it, he was the first to reflexively escape.

"Young master, young master, you dissipate your anger, don't be a villain, you are angry with your body......" The two attendants saw that the young master was angry, and hurriedly made amends.

Seeing that the light couldn't persuade him, the follower with a high status suddenly glanced at Xiaohe, and suddenly thought about it: "Young master, look, the girl who washes clothes over there ......"
