Chapter 231 New Dress, House Number

Chen Fan smiled: "Exactly, how do you address the two adults?"

"Don't dare to be, our rank is not as high as the Xiangjun." The tall man said that he didn't dare to be, but his expression was still arrogant.

The other officials were busy registering household registration, but these two were lucky, hiding somewhere, neither helping with registration, nor helping to maintain order.The twenty guards knew how to stand around the crowd and watch.

"My official is Xiao Yuliang, Governor of Fengzhou," said the chunky official.

A long history?A long history is so arrogant?

"My official Yingshan county magistrate, Lu Rushan," said the tall man.

This is even smaller, only the county magistrate.

Chen Fan didn't see how these two behaved when they saw Zhongshu Ling.With their faces at the moment, they don't necessarily show much respect for other local officials.At least those governors and magistrates were polite on the surface.

"I really feel aggrieved for Mr. Zhang. You have planted two thousand acres of land and produced more high-yielding rice. How can you credit Miss Chen for giving her the title of town lord?" The tall man shone brightly. to provoke.

Zhang Ci was expressionless: "The seeds were provided by Ms. Chen."

Lu Rushan sneered: "The seeds are fairy seeds, can't they? Aren't they all bought from other places? It's the heaven's blessing of the emperor's grace that made you have such a high harvest. If you count the credit, it's Mr. Zhang's credit. "

Zhang Ci remained expressionless: "Do you have an opinion on the decision of the Holy Majesty?"

Lu Rushan's face was flushed red, and he stared at Zhang Ci: "Don't be ignorant of good and evil, I'm just complaining for you."

Zhang Ci sneered: "If you speak for me in front of the Holy Master, I will be grateful."

Lu Rushan gave Chen Fan a sideways look: "What kind of flirtatious ability are you doing? You're fascinated by such a good-looking young master." He looked at Zhang Ci again, "Look at you, you are married to someone, and you still give in with all your heart. Embarrass us men."

Tang Chaoying looked at Lu Rushan sympathetically, and Zhang Jiuyan twirled his fingers.

The dinner was very sumptuous, except for Xiao Yuliang and Lu Rushan, other local officials were full of praise.

Zhongshu Ling and Wen Guanshi came to Zhangci's room with two boxes in their hands.Zhang Ci was very surprised: "Father, this is?"

Zhong Shuling glanced at him: "You didn't go to find Miss Chen?"

"I'll go later, I heard my father said that I'm coming, so I'll wait here."

Qingji came over to serve tea, then retreated.

"This is the clothes your mother prepared for you, try it on."

Zhang Ci moved: "Mother prepared it for me?"

He couldn't wait to open a box and took out a piece of clothing inside: "Mother, have you prepared it for a long time?"

Zhong Shuling's voice was a bit long and drawn out: "I've been preparing for two months, from inside to outside. She thought you would grow taller, but she didn't know when you would be able to wear it, so she tried to make it bigger."

Wen Guanshi began to wipe his tears again: "It's great, you can wear these clothes so soon. If you grow taller after a while, the clothes won't fit you anymore."

"It's all thanks to Chen Fan." Zhong Shuling said.

Wen Guanshi wiped away his tears: "Young master also helped her a lot. Without the young master taking care of her, how could she do such a thing."

Zhong Shuling looked at his son: "Since you have chosen this method, don't be affected by the noise outside. It is good to be able to do something."

Zhang Ci put on the outer dress, and Wen Guanshi was so excited that he could not speak coherently: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful."

Clothes are not much bigger.Zhang Ci's shoulders are wider than her mother imagined, and the back of the clothes is just right; the waist is a bit loose, so it's good to tuck it in.The hem of the clothes is a bit long, maybe he imagined him a little taller.

Zhong Shuling nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the other clothes in the box and said, "I gave her the size, but the style was shortened rashly and it didn't look good, so I just took it here. Maybe you will grow taller soon. The underwear is newly made recently, so it should be more suitable."

Zhang Ci made a deep salute: "Father, please send my regards to mother for me, and thank mother for me."

"You take care of yourself here, and write more letters to your mother when you have time, so that she can feel relieved."

Zhang Ci got up and said seriously: "Those two officials probably instilled a lot of bad ideas in the refugees."

Zhongshu Ling smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter. When you come here, you will be in charge. If you are not convinced, let them work hard to make progress. You don't need to be soft if you only care about things with sharp teeth. Today's order is Very well, Mo Jian's whip is not just for show."

Wen Guanshi's tears have been wiped away, and now he is smiling: "The master is talking more and more like a child now, before half a sentence seemed too much."

Zhongshuling smiled lightly: "You are also getting bolder, and you have arranged for me."

"Ouch," Wen Guanshi was shocked, "this old slave is so happy that he couldn't bear to see him."

Zhongshu Ling got up: "You have planned everything carefully, and I will go to those officials to make things happen."

Early the next morning, the officials began to transcribe the household registration, writing the village name and house number on small wooden signs.

Chen Fan asked Liu's family to prepare the small wooden sign.I bought wood, sawed it into small pieces according to size, and polished the edges and corners of the frame a little.

"If I go to the village to find a person, it is convenient to follow the house number. If the number is wrong, I will change another house. I can also know how many houses there are in a village by looking at the number." A county magistrate said.

Another agreed: "This number is indeed easier to remember than A, B, C, and D. I will try the same when I go back. I will sort out the house numbers in the county first, and check the population situation by the way."

Some county magistrates also talked about what to do when they go back, and some people asked: "Who came up with this number? I copied so many numbers yesterday, but I am very proficient."

"Every word has been thought up by someone, and the number must have been thought up by someone." Some people think it is easy to use, it doesn't matter who thought it up.

"When these things are done, ask them to teach arithmetic." Some people have very flexible minds.Everyone agrees.

At eight o'clock, the plaque of Xiangjun Mansion was officially hung on the wall.The children all put on new clothes and looked more handsome and lovely.Zhang Ci put on a gown, which attracted the attention of all the officials. Although it was a little dark, he was really good-looking.

Some people can't help but compare him with Zhongshu Ling's court.This demeanor and demeanor are a bit similar.

With Eunuch Xiao present, Xiao Yuliang and Lu Rushan were very quiet.

Chen Fan felt that dozens of court officials in official uniforms witnessed the listing ceremony, and the auspiciousness was really strong.

Among the refugees, 40 people were selected to be responsible for cooking.There are a lot of vegetables in the fields, and the eyes of the refugees who haven't seen Qing for a long time are shining.

As if by magic, Zhongshuling had someone take out twenty new saws, dozens of new axes, and dozens of new sickles.

"These are from the logging team." Wu Zhongsu said with a smile.

Are these gifts from the county magistrates again?

Officials put the tools confiscated in the four villages in a warehouse and recorded the quantity.Now it happens to be sent to the refugees to work.

Every refugee is involved in labor.The women cut off the weeds on the roads on the embankment of the village, and the children carried them to the designated place to dry.Young and middle-aged men are responsible for hoeing and breaking up the soil, and the grass roots in the soil clods are also cleaned up by children.
