Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 156

This time Changfu and Changshun did not follow, but accompanied Du Dalang and Du Erlang.

They brought Li Dazhuang and his wife and Xiaoya, these are their servants, and it will be more convenient to use them at that time.

As for the county seat, it was arranged by Chu Fangfei, the daughter-in-law, and the Hu family did not intervene.Buying people and so on is also up to her.

It can be said that Mrs. Hu is really good to his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't interfere at all.

As for the family, Du Youzhong bought another farm and handed it over to Du Youquan, the fifth brother. It turned out that the fields in Yangliu Village were handed over to Du Youde, the fourth brother. In this way, the division of labor was clear.

The third son, Du Youxian, has a tofu workshop, and it is doing well now, so there is no other arrangement.

Even the Qi family at home bought her two maids to serve her.In addition, there is one more person who specializes in cooking. As for Du Youzhong's younger brothers, whether they need additional manpower, Du Youzhong also left it to them to decide.

You can choose people from the newly bought Zhuangzi. After all, buying Zhuangzi also bought the people from that Zhuangzi.

There is no shortage of people at all. The Du family has now become a gentry family from a small landlord.

Because Du Youzhong has official documents, he can directly live in post stations in various places on the road. These post stations were specially built by the imperial court for officials and gentry to live on the road.

Of course, if you want to eat or something, you must pay for it, otherwise the court will even take care of the food, so how much will it cost.

The further south we went, the warmer the weather became, although it could even be said to be hot.It took more than a month for Du Youzhong to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors and arrange the marriage for his eldest son. The court gave Du Youzhong three months. I went back to my hometown to observe my filial piety.

So even if you were driving in the sun, you didn't delay a day. You would rush on the road during the day, rest at the post station at night, and continue at dawn the next day.It is estimated that it will take a month to arrive in Pengze County.

There is no river in Pengze County, so it is just a dry road, passing several state capitals along the way, but Du Yu didn't even see the scenery, because it is really hot, the weather in July and August, can you is it hot?
Still heading south.But besides the heat, there are other benefits, that is, the more you go to the south, the more varieties of melons and fruits, watermelons are common, and other fruits whose names have never been heard appear.

And when Du Yu felt the smell of tide in the air, he had already arrived at the state capital of Pengze County.

Pengze County belongs to Chenzhou, and Du Youzhong only needs to report to the government office of the prefect of Chenzhou, and there is no need to go to the provincial capital, unless the county he works for is under the direct jurisdiction of the provincial government.Unfortunately, Peng Ze was not.

From this aspect, it can be seen that Pengze is indeed not a wealthy county.

Du Youzhong didn't receive any preferential treatment in Chenzhou. When people heard that he was going to Pengze County to be the prince, they stamped it directly. Presumably they knew that Pengze County didn't have any money to take, even if they beat him up and blackmailed him. mean.

So, anything that looks like a bad thing, on the other hand, is a good thing.

Peng Ze is a poor place. It is estimated that there are not many people who want to be an official here, so it is not a fat shortage, and no one is racking their brains to get you down and let their own people go up.

Of course, there will be less filial piety like this.

Maybe people still think that this county magistrate is really unlucky, why did he end up in this place?
However, it depends on human effort. Du Youzhong also has his own considerations. It is his first time to be an official. If he really chooses a good place, then the situation is very complicated. If one fails, he may make a big mistake. Although this Pengze County Remote, but not useless.

Master Wang also knew about the situation in Pengze County a long time ago, so he was prepared for the 'treatment' he would enjoy when he accompanied Dong Weng to the magistrate.

When I finally arrived at the Pengze County Office, looking at the house of the County Office, well, the old and the old represent the county office, although it is also a blue brick house, but Du Yu guessed that it must have been several decades. It was built before, and it is estimated that it has not been repaired in the middle.

The county magistrate, Qin Chengyi, led a group of people from the county government office to welcome the new parent officer at the gate of the county government office.

Du Youzhong took Mr. Wang to socialize and understand the situation, and Mrs. Hu took Du Yu, Mrs. Wang and others to the backyard of the county government.

In general county government offices, the front is where the office is, and the back is where the family members live.Of course, the family of the magistrate of the county will live in the backyard in the middle, and the family members of the county magistrate and the master Bo live in the east and west courtyards respectively, just like a big courtyard, but the proportion is enlarged.

This kind of official place is even more boxy, unlike any private garden, which only pays attention to artistic conception, so the place where Du Yu and the others live is the magistrate's back house on the same central axis as the gate.

There are two entrances to the magistrate's back house. Walking towards the back from the government office is the magistrate's back house. Because there are two entrances, each entrance has an east and west wing, and the east and west wings each have three rooms.There is no need to split it out here to use as a study, because there is one in front of the official office hall. Don’t look at a county office, it includes a lot of things. Let’s talk about the central axis, starting from the gate, followed by Yimen, Jieshi Pavilion , the lobby, the back hall, the back hall has the dressing room of the magistrate, and it is also the place where the magistrate receives officials, discusses political affairs, and handles government affairs.

The lobby is the place where the county magistrate handles civil cases. There are a row of houses on the left and right, which are the so-called three shifts and six rooms.

There are also county prisons, prison temples, earth temples, official houses, grain collection stations, etc., attached to the left and right of the central axis.

Because it is the second courtyard, Du Yu and others are few people, and the first to enter the main house, naturally Du Youzhong and Hu's lived. Because Master Wang also had to go on business, so he lived in the first west chamber with his family. Because Du Yu grew up, she had to entertain friends alone in the future, so she was assigned to the second room in the east wing. Because there were few people, Xiaoya lived with Du Yu. Anyway, she lived alone, Xiaoya Just live in the next house.

And Li Dazhuang and his wife live in the back room.

On the first day they arrived, Mrs. Xiancheng, Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Dianshi all came to welcome them.And seeing that the Hu family brought few people, they allocated the servants of their own family to help pack things here.

It turns out that the things belonging to the county magistrate and magistrate's wife have already been taken away, and the rest are usable.

And Mrs. Qin, the wife of the county magistrate, entertained them for a meal, thinking that they were so busy cleaning up here that they didn't have time to cook at all.

Treat Shangguan and Shangguan's family members well, this is also the way of being a subordinate.

As for the local gentry who came to invite Du Youzhong to eat in the restaurant, Du Youzhong refused, on the grounds that he wanted to sort out the affairs of the county government as soon as possible.

Although Pengze County is poor, there are poor and rich people everywhere.Pengze County is no exception.

Du Yu met Qin Wanniang, the granddaughter of Mrs. Qin's family. She should be about the same age as Du Yu, and the county magistrate Qin Chengyi is also in his 50s and [-]s. It is not surprising to have such an older granddaughter.

There are also Zou Sanniang and Zou Siniang, the daughters of Bo Zou's family. Both of them were born in the same year.

Dian Shi Chen's family's girls were all married early, and the ones who haven't married yet are only a few years old. Because they are working outside, several of them have stayed in the countryside. There is a concubine here who is only three years old. daughter Chen Chenqiaoer.

But judging from the size of the back house, Du Yu knows that the official can't bring too many family members, like the county magistrate, they just entered the back house, if they really bring more people, they can live I can't live anymore, so I can only rent a house outside, which is not convenient for office work, but also costs a lot.

Besides, you are an official, what do you want to do with so many family members.At that time, the evaluation impression will not be good.

But in this way, the population of Du Yu's family is the simplest, and they live in the largest place.

After two days of tidying up, I finally got everything sorted out. As the top leader in Pengze County, he had to establish a good relationship with his colleagues in the county government, so Du Youzhong made an appointment for a day and invited everyone to his home for dinner. Of course, it is impossible to invite everyone. For example, let the policemen come over and eat with the county magistrate, they are not comfortable.

So the headhunter was invited, needless to say the county prime minister Bo and Dianshi, this was a must, the people in the third class and the sixth house had cooked and sent them over.

Du Yu also started living in Pengze County.

As for Pengze County, although it is very poor, it is rich in fruits and aquatic products, but because it is remote, many things cannot be transported out, and it is very close to the sea. Du Yu has eaten seafood several times when he came here. .

She doesn't feel allergic to it, so she thought about waiting for a while, getting some dried seafood, packing it for her family, and letting them all taste it.

After arriving here, the manpower is still obviously less. After discussing with Du Yu and the Hu family, they will continue to buy people. Moreover, it is best to buy a local person, so that the local customs and customs can be obtained through the local people. understand.

Although Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Chen can know about it, these people are not locals, and no locals know better.

Mrs. Qin introduced a familiar matchmaker. The matchmaker job can be found everywhere, and the matchmaker speaks well in official language.

Peng Ze's place has a local dialect, and it speaks so fast that those who don't know it can't understand it at all.

Du Yu is currently learning Peng Ze's dialect, and he will learn it wherever he goes, otherwise he will really just be fooled.

"Mother, since you want to buy someone, why don't you buy a maid for Mrs. Wang's side too." They can't have someone to serve on their side, but Mrs. Wang's side doesn't have one.

Hu said: "Okay, then buy a few more. I mean, how about buying a deed of living? After all, we will not live here for a lifetime. When we leave, these people will leave their homes, and it is uncomfortable to think about it. "
