Chapter 216 Weijiawan Tradition

There is a saying that removes the old and welcomes the new. After all, Wei Hao did not push the old house and replace it with a "luxury house" given by the flower staff. He said that the first month practice is the first month, so after getting the "City in the Palm", he changed into a doghouse and gave it to him. The dog is refreshing.

Temporarily ordered a few trucks of Bricks, and after a busy morning, they built two sets of formal West Wing and East Wing.

Wei Hao builds walls, Gou Zi carries bricks, a group of girls carry water and mud gauges to collect wood, etc. They are all extraordinary ordinary people, and the work is naturally relaxed and happy.

The new house couldn't be lived in, but the dog went in for a walk and spit flames, so he could move in on the same day.

I pulled a lot of tables, chairs, benches and beds from the county seat, and the hatchback suddenly looked good.

The snails live in the east wing, the fox lives in the west wing, the swallows accompany Yingying, the green snake sticks to the white dragon, the Wei family's house is peaceful, and the neighbors in Weijiawan are dumbfounded.

The bad boys didn't understand how many sisters-in-law Hao had brought back, but it seemed that there were quite a lot.

Just after noon, the county magistrate Wang Shouyu brought people over to express his condolences. He probably knew that greeting Wei Hao was an awkward chat, and exchanged a few words of routine. After Wang Shouyu left some gifts, he brought the people from the "Department of Health and Welfare" , to distribute rice, flour, grain and oil to widows and widows in Weijiawan.

This is not to say that Wang Shouyu wants to curry favor with Wei Hao, but that Weijiawan is a place where there are many soldiers, and there are many small flag officers. The Daxia Chao Ding is not delegated to the villages, but to the county level.

The rest depends on the administrative means of county officials.

Smoking is also a task, but on the battlefield, for a family, it cannot be explained by a light task.

Because of the traditional problem in Weijiawan, most of the five generations have inherited martial arts, and there are so many low-level officers, relatively speaking, they have more arable land, so most men use their lives on the battlefield in exchange for meritorious land.

So despite the fact that Weijiawan is lonely and lonely, the total number of males does not drop sharply like a cliff. After all, there are many females who are willing to marry, and most of the concubines are dowry maids.

It is precisely because of this reason that although Weijiawan is not prominent in the local area, it can be regarded as a local snake. The number of in-laws that can be pulled out covers several surrounding counties, that is, there are no major officers, otherwise the city can also climb. a dear.

In fact, after Wei Hao won the fame of a scholar, there were signs of this. It's a pity that the style of painting was completely crooked after Wei Hao won the fame of a scholar.

Now the total number of adult males in Weijiawan is the same as before, and it is impossible to draw males here. Of course, it is not uncommon for men with good martial arts in Weijiawan to want to earn more.

There are many children, and the separation depends on strength.

Those like Wei Hao who have no brothers are very rare.

Now that Wei Hao has become the "Master Juren", the county magistrate Wang Shouyu must protect Weijiawan more, and now he has to sell more of the face he was about to sell.

So Wei Jiawan felt that the Grand Master was much more polite and kind this year than in previous years.

After Wang Shouyu returned to the city, the elders brought a dozen or so grown-up men over to visit. Although they were not as burly as Wei Hao, they were still energetic and strong.

"Da Lang, according to the old man, I'm afraid that it's the Chinese New Year, and we will have to smoke again. Our Weijiawan logically said that there is no need to produce more, but your uncles and brothers are all married and have children, and there are seven or eight mouths in the family. So, I want to try my luck again in the coming year, but I heard that the imperial court is out of control now, so if it goes to the battlefield, will the meritorious field still come down?"

The elders are also from small banner officials, which is strange to say. Five generations have never produced even a chief banner officer. As for the achievement of examinations, it is even more outrageous. Before Wei Hao, at most, he was a child, and he was a scholar. Usually they are sons-in-law.

It also caused Wei Jiawan to be famous for "abundant martial arts, but not so abundant".

It wasn't until Wei Hao appeared that this strange "curse" was broken.

"Old man, now that the fortunes of the country are declining, if you compare the Great Xia Dynasty to a big tree, then the trunk is not good enough, but the branches and leaves are still quite lush, and some are still hanging down on the ground, taking root on their own. If you insist on going out and working hard, We'd better not go to the border, just put down a rebellion. I have some fate with General Xu, the general of the "Longxiang Army". Many heroes in the world are brave generals, and the frontier army will suffer a big defeat at the front."

"What Da Lang means is that if we are a Ding, we will be bastards?"

"What do you mean by other home?"

"The few families that are close to us are still the same. We are afraid of death. We definitely hope that we will take a few more heads. After all, if we want to talk about the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors, we have to kill more people."

"What about the price?"

"In today's world, it is definitely necessary to add a little bit. For one person, give twenty acres of paddy fields."

"Not too much."

In spite of the private compensation of the miners, the natives of the township are all accounted for, and often the compensation is "public land" or "meritorious land". The cost cannot be said to be extremely high, but there are some.

It's just that when I got to Fucheng, I didn't accept this matter, and it's not that the officials of Fucheng who didn't re-measure the acres of the fields messed up the chicken feathers.

But as far as compensation is concerned, it is still an old rule, and it is hard to sell properties with money.

Because of the particularity of these fields, they can be passed on for several generations without corruption, so they are also known as "eternal industry".

The origin of the place name Weijiawan is that the ancestors of the Wei family used this stupid method of licking blood with a knife or even "for the dead ghost" to dig it out bit by bit.

The birth of the entire Weijiawan is a history of development watered with blood by a group of poor fighters.

Wei Hao's current family fortune of tens of thousands of taels of gold is loose between his fingers, and leaking out is enough for the whole Weijiawan. The family business that comes out and the fortunes inherited by descendants are also very different.

The men who came to Wei Hao's house to inquire at New Year's Eve all had their own opinions and ideas. If life was difficult, they might accept Wei Hao's help, but dignity did not allow this kind of charity.

After all, behind a person, there is a big family, and there are as many things as there are in a big family.

Wei Dalang is Wei Dalang, not an old lady.

Wei Hao paid for equipment and horses, and they would gladly accept it, and keep their kindness in their hearts, and try to repay them in the future, but if they want to give them dozens of taels of gold directly so that they don't do this bloody thing, then they will honestly return Farming and raising children at home is an insult.

"It's not bad to give [-] mu to the close ones. After all, unlike ours, it's mostly 'Yongye Tian'. It's not easy for them to accumulate meritorious land."

"It's just that it's my own private field, and I can make up one hundred acres, and the land deed can be taken over at any time."

After the two elders finished speaking, they all looked at Wei Hao, waiting for him to make up his mind.

After all, Wei Hao is now a Juren, and has a great reputation, although this reputation is somewhat strange...

"Old man, in my opinion, let's discuss it after the Lantern Festival. Wuchaoguan Wang Xianggong is planning a business recently. If it is suitable, I would also like to introduce a few uncles and brothers to try his luck. If we can increase the means of fighting, if It's done, killing demons and eliminating demons is a no-brainer."

"But the 'Wu Chao Chuanlu'?"

"Exactly."

"Dalang, the quota may be finalized at the end of the first lunar month. As soon as February is over, you will have to report for duty. If it is not March or April, you will have to march with the general to the garrison..."

"Mr. Wang may still use me in this matter. I have to take care of my own family. Others have to practice hard for three to five years. I can't let my uncles and brothers do this."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately laughed and said: "Da Lang, if this is the case, then our Weijiawan really needs to change its appearance!"

"As for the relatives of other families, if they move around a lot, you can let them know, but don't say anything."

"I know, I know, don't worry Dalang, we still know these ways."

The old people are all grinning, Wei Hao is the master of Juren, and he is also from the same family, so there is no need to make fun of them.

As for whether Wei Hao will be the same as the local surname, after a master Juren emerges, he will become the dominant one, that is a later story.

Anyway, they watched Brother Hao grow up, so he naturally has a steelyard in his heart.

"When the troubled times come, we Weijiawan, whether we like it or not, will return to our old jobs. Since we all want to fight, we don't need to overwhelm ourselves with too many skills."

Wei Hao's words were sincere, and more than a dozen uncles and brothers nodded repeatedly. There is no need to talk too much nonsense, just go home and close the door to discuss with wives, concubines and children carefully.

"Da Lang always talks about troubled times. It seems that this world, this Great Xia Dynasty, is really going to die."

An old man sighed, and then asked with concern, "Then Dalang is still going to the capital to catch up for the exam?"

"I'm definitely going to go. The Great Xia Dynasty is about to come to an end, and no one can say when it will be possible to replace a person with a tribute, which will add some convenience."

"Yes, yes, if we can come back with the No. [-] pick, our 'Weijiawan' should be regarded as a footman with both civil and military skills, so as not to be always said to be too murderous."

The old man actually just said that casually, but Wei Hao felt embarrassed, because the murderous intent was too heavy, it was really not a joke.

Ever since he gained supernatural powers, "Baojia Yaoxian" can be seen haunting nearby villages, but Weijiawan...has gone evil, and there really isn't any of them.

Wei Hao and Gouzi also asked some nearby "Guardian Demon Immortals", but they said that the murderous intent was too heavy, and the evil spirits would only come to harm when they were full...

Since evil spirits and heretics will not come to the door to cause harm, how can it be possible for the "Baojia Yaoxian" to eat too little and come to the door to be abused?

So the puzzling place made sense in an instant.

If there are ghosts in Weijiawan, maybe one of the ancestors got drunk in Huangquan and went home to have a look...

Wei Hao also recalled that since he crossed over, he hadn't really seen any rituals to exorcise ghosts in Weijiawan, but most of the veterans in Weijiawan were invited to sleep on the bed elsewhere.

"Don't worry, the old man. When I went to the capital to fight against Chunwei, I must be going for the number one scholar. There are not many people in the Mingshu Department in the whole country, no more than the Jinshi Department and Mingfa Department. There are too many people competing."

"Ha! If Da Lang wins the first prize, then our Weijiawan will be really good."

The old man stroked his beard and laughed loudly, and the girls who eavesdropped at home were speechless, thinking that they are not so powerful now?
With an order, I am afraid that not the local land gods will come out to bow and salute.

It's a pity that the idea of ​​a nest of inhuman girls is far from what humans want.

Wei Hao's prestige of slaying demons and demons can frighten countless ghosts and elves, but if he wants to frighten people in the officialdom, it is better to have a sense of "Qianniu Weisi's hereditary Zuoqian household".

If you tell about the deeds of Yao Fulan, the magistrate of Dachao Prefecture, with a knife, it will be more deterrent.

As for this demon king and that demon king's, to be honest, as long as the demon king doesn't cause trouble so that they lose their official titles, eat people like spicy noodles, and do their shit...

"Then... Dalang, I'll wait until the Lantern Festival is over before I ask you to make up your mind. We'll just wait for your letter."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Wang, I'm afraid it won't take a few days, and maybe I will send you news. As soon as I have news, I will let everyone know."

"Then Lao Dalang has worked hard."

"It should be..."

After some politeness, I bid farewell.

After the old and the young had left, a group of elves came out to ask around Wei Hao curiously.

"Master, what is Wang Xianzun going to do? To let Xianggong be so optimistic?"

"Why does Yingying say that, how do you know that I am optimistic about Wang Gong's plan?"

"If you don't like it, how can Xianggong introduce it to Wei Jiawan?"

"Haha, that's right."

Wei Hao nodded, and briefly explained, "Apart from going through some things this time, the biggest gain is that Wang Gong plans to unite the mortals and spirits in Wuchao County, just in case, to work together. Improve your strength to prevent major changes in the future."

Hearing this, apart from Bai Xing, the other girls all looked stunned, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: "Wu Chao Chuan Lu" Wang Xianggong, could it be that he intends to rebel?
