Chapter Seventy-Three: The Harvest (II)

In May, the sun is shining.

The ripe wheat was heavy, as if it were a golden blanket spread on it.

In Jishui County, the wheat waves are rolling, and it is already the harvest season, and the county has been dispatched by the whole people to harvest the wheat happily.

In front of a field, there are a group of people inspecting, today is the first day of the wheat harvest, as the chief official of the county, Xue Yuan is present.

Xue Yuan, who was dressed in an official uniform and was standing with the little official, was better at first, but then, he frowned, and asked the person next to him with some uncertainty: "My eyelids have been jumping for the past few days, do you think this is a sign that something is going to happen?"

Beside him, accompanied by the young official who was promoted by him, this person had an ordinary appearance, but he was polite and capable.

Hearing Xue Yuan say this, the little official turned his face and looked at his uncle's face for a while.

"Uncle, are you probably too tired these days? Why don't you go back and rest for half a day?" the little official said in a low voice when he saw that there was no one around.

This set of rhetoric was not very useful to Xue Yuan, Xue Yuan said: "No, something must have happened." ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Xue Yuanxin mentioned it, and his eyes quickly looked over there.

I saw a fast horse coming from the direction of the county seat, and when it was closer, Fang saw that the person on the horse was the servant of the house.

This person slammed the horse in front of Xue Yuan, then jumped down from it, and walked quickly in front of Xue Yuan, whispering a few words in his ear.

"Huh?" After listening to the other party's whisper, Xue Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up.

"You continue to command here, and I have to go back to the county seat beforehand. Remember, I'll be back in a moment, and you must not leave this place, because someone may want you to see you later. ”

As he spoke, he took his own horse by the side, quickly mounted his horse, and rode away with the messenger.

"Could it be...... Is there someone from Fucheng?" the little official stood in place, looking at the direction of the county master, and thought to himself.

Seeing that the two of them were soon gone, he had to shake his head and continue to inspect the field.

Xue Yuan rode back to the county seat, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the county office, he jumped off his horse.

"Who is in there?" he asked, referring to those who had returned with him.

"Yes, my lord, I'm resting in the side hall. The servant answered.

Xue Yuan didn't say a word, stuffed the reins of the horse into the man's hand, and strode in. When he came to the door of the side hall, more than ten meters away, he could already hear laughter coming from inside.

Standing in place, taking a deep breath, and dressing up again, Xue Yuan continued to stride in.

"Xue Yuan. A soft call rang out as he stepped into the hall.

Looking at the familiar faces in the hall, Xue Yuan couldn't help it anymore, and knelt directly on the ground, saluting and saying, "Xue Yuan has seen the lord." ”

"Come, get up, get up. With a pair of hands, Xue Yuan was lifted up.

Wang Hongyi looked Xue Yuan up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but you are much thinner." ”

"It's the same with my lord, you should take care of your health. Xue Yuan replied.

At this time, Wang Hongyi was dressed in civilian clothes, and there were several black-clothed guards standing beside him.

Although the two are monarchs and ministers, they have a bit of friendship, and after some greetings, the atmosphere is relaxed.

"Lord, why are you here all of a sudden?

"Exactly. Wang Hongyi nodded: "Jishui County is different from other counties, this place should be regarded as a granary, seeing that it is the harvest season, and there are not many things in Fucheng, I will come over to take a look...... By the way, come and see you too. ”

Xue Yuan heard this last sentence, and couldn't help but redden: "Xue Yuan thanks the lord for his concern." ”

"You, as a county magistrate, are more cautious than before. ”

Xue Yuan arched his hand and replied respectfully: "Lord, as the head of a county, the minister should be stricter with himself." ”

Knowing that the identity is different now, the attitude will also be different.

Seeing his restraints in the past, Wang Hongyi still felt a little emotional.

"Lord, this trip, can you stay here? If you stay overnight, the minister will let people pack up and leave the courtyard early. ”

"I'll go out for a while, I'm afraid it's too late to leave, stay overnight, and leave tomorrow. Wang Hongyi pondered and said: "As for the courtyard, don't be too troublesome, my temperament, you don't know it, you don't pay much attention to this aspect, you don't have to bother with this matter." Just find a clean compound where you can stay overnight. ”

Xue Yuan responded.

Even if Wang Hongyi said this, Xue Yuan still called the housekeeper and asked him to clean up the most elegant courtyard in the mansion and make sure to tidy it up before dark.

Many matters are carefully interrogated and carefully arranged.

Seeing this, Wang Hongyi had to shake his head and laugh.

When Wang Hongyi arrived, it was in the morning, and he dined at the government office at noon, and Xue Yuan accompanied him in the afternoon and walked around Jishui County.

I have to say that Xue Yuan is cautious and careful, and he is a capable minister, and under his governance, this Jishui County has prospered a lot, and there are already 2,500 households.

"Xue Yuan, you really didn't disappoint me, it's right that this county is handed over to you to govern. Riding on the road, looking at the road, Wang Hongyi suddenly said.

Xue Yuan smiled: "Lord, it's not the foundation you left behind, if you hadn't governed it properly back then, you handed over a mess to the ministers, even if the ministers were sad and white-haired, they wouldn't have been governed to this extent, it all depends on the blessings of the lord."

Wang Hongyi was stunned for a moment and smiled: "You guy, when I first saw you, I thought you had been here for a long time, and your temperament had become more and more restrained, but now it seems that after many days of not seeing, you are becoming more and more able to speak." ”

Immediately, the horse marched forward.

If Wang Hongyi said this to other officials, he was afraid that he would be scared and the other party would kowtow and admit his mistake, Xue Yuan was from Wang Hongyi's original team, and he was different, and Wang Hongyi said this, knowing that this was the general's confidant.

He urged the horse to follow.

Out of the county seat, on both sides of the road, there is a piece of golden yellow everywhere, and the wheat waves move with the wind, every time, they are like waves rolling.

Wang Hongyi looked at the scene in front of him and was very satisfied.

"The wheat growth this time is very gratifying, and this year's harvest will not be too bad. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming up behind him, Wang Hongyi reined in the horse, sat on the horse, and whispered.

"Lord, please rest assured, these fields have been given your immortal prescription, and Xue Yuan will handle the harvest properly. Then, Xue Yuan's voice sounded.

For Xue Yuan, Wang Hongyi trusts himself, otherwise he would not hand over this county to him to govern.

Hearing Xue Yuan's assurance, Wang Hongyi nodded.

"Let's go over there. Pointing to the front, Wang Hongyi took the lead again, Xue Yuan saw that direction, his eyes flashed, and he followed.

"Who is the commander of the wheat harvesting in front?" Wang Hongyi reined in front of the ground in a wheat field in Jishui County, and saw that the command here was proper and the efficiency was very high, so he turned around and asked.

"Lord, this person is my newly elected official Xue Chengren. Xue Yuan replied, "It's my nephew." ”

"I have some ability. Wang Hongyi looked at it for a while, and said, what surprised him a little was that the natal qi on the top of this person was red, and the future position could be used by the county order, if there was a chance to break through, it was not impossible for the prefect.

After a while, Xue Chengren obviously found out about the county master, and he was busy handing over the work at hand to others and walked over by himself.

"Your Excellency, you're back. ”

"Xue Chengren, don't come over and see the general soon. Xue Yuan knew that Xue Chengren didn't know the lord, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Xue Chengren's face was stunned, and he turned his face to look at this young man, this person was actually General Dingyuan?

"Xue Chengren has seen the general. "Busy with the first few walks.

Wang Hongyi asked some questions, and Xue Chengren responded appropriately, which made Wang Hongyi nod again and again.

"This guy is good. Continuing to inspect, halfway through, Wang Hongyi said with a smile, although this person is not a great talent, but he behaves appropriately, but he is worthy of the position of a county.

"Lord, this son is from my clan, he doesn't have much foundation, but he has eyes since he was a child, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows some words, and he is indeed a good candidate to be a small official. ”

Listening to Xue Yuan's explanation, Wang Hongyi said: "You did a very good job. ”

In this era, unless there are special circumstances, it is difficult for people who are not from large families to learn to read and write.

Jishui County is where Wang Hongyi started, and Xue Yuan was bound here, not daring to make a big move, and even having concerns about appointing a small official.

Prudence is good, but too cautious will hinder the development of the county, Wang Hongyi can not hold two positions, this time, he really has the intention of relieving him.

At this moment, there was a "boom" in the distance, and there was a cheer, and everyone looked at each other in surprise, and before they could send someone to see what was going on, they saw a neat cheer rushing to the sky.

"Three Stones"

"Three Stones"

"Three Stones"

"Three stones per mu, this time it is really a bumper harvest" Wang Hongyi listened, said with a smile, and a stone fell in his heart, and it was done.

After a while, I saw that these people who had obtained a bumper harvest actually flocked to Wang Hongyi and Xue Yuan, kowtowing to Wang Hongyi and Xue Yuan: "Thank you general, thank you county master"

Under the kneeling of the people, Wang Hongyi has nothing, first look at the tripod, the top of the tripod has not become bigger, but it is much thicker, and the cloud is also growing.

But Xue Yuan hurriedly dismounted and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, this is God's love and the general's kindness, what am I Xue Yuan?"

Having said that, I saw that in the middle of a few worships, the cloud qi on his top exploded, stretching out a red natal qi, and when he saw this, Wang Hongyi laughed: "Xue Yuan, you have meritorious service in governing the county, and I will promote you to the county order of Qipin." ”

After speaking, he watched everyone's luck again, but he was shocked, only to see that among the boiling people, a trace of white gas was permeated, and a trace of red had seeped out.

"Sure enough, this bumper harvest will definitely make the luck of cooking oil and flowers, and the luck of the people, if it is dyed red, I will get the so-called fire virtue, and I can sweep Shuzhong and even the world. Wang Hongyi secretly thought, as for the fact that it is extremely difficult to continue, and he doesn't want to think about these words.

Humane things are originally swarming, and if you don't want to forge ahead, you will be swallowed up if you can't wait for the prosperity to decline.
