The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 42 Butterfly Wings ([-])

A group of people talked and walked, and soon entered the county from the port.By this time it was completely dark.On the main roads in Fuling County, many merchants lit up the qi-death lanterns.All of a sudden, the entire county is dotted with stars, which is very poetic.

It's a pity that poetry is unreliable in a market place.

"Hey! Pan Dazhuang has received another job. After delivering the customers, come to my shop? Today's fern cake in our shop is made of [-]% flour!"

"Damn! Li Papi, are you shameless? You sell fern cake with [-]% flour for two cents a piece? It's not a loss to you! Pan Dazhuang, after sending off the guests, bring the brothers to my shop, today [-]% off the plum wine in Erben’s store!"

Looking at the yelling from various merchants along the way, Chen Can seemed to be back to CDs.No, CD doesn’t have a night market either—after the united hour, no one on the street can see one.

"My lords will go to the county office later to put away our luggage. If you are hungry, go out from the county office and go to the left. The third shop has a signboard of 'Yonghe'. The fried meat and barbecue there are very good. The price is not expensive, about [-] yuan per person can eat enough."

"Hehe, Pan Zhuangshi went to eat?"

"Hi! Master, you are making fun of me. How could I be willing to eat that? I heard what other masters said."

"Well, strong man Pan, besides working as a laborer in the county town every summer and autumn, does your village have any income?"

"There were very few in the past. I just planted some rice on a piece of land as big as a palm, and then I went hunting, fishing, and picking wild vegetables. I often panicked when I was not full and hungry. Now that the prefect Guan is here, it is much better. In addition to doing strength, I also You can go to the mountains to pick wild fruits and tung tree fruits to exchange for food with Ma Zheng. Ma Zheng is also a good official, and he buys our hunting at a high price, including fish with a long finger and screws the size of a fingernail. The price It's much higher than before... When I went back in November this year, in addition to buying food, I also wanted to buy a piece of cloth for the mother-in-law at home..."

"Then, would you like to move the entire village to Fuling County?"

"This... the old man in the family said no, the Bizka people can't leave their hometown. Besides, Guan Taishou also said that the newly opened land is not enough, and the houses are not enough. Oh, hello, master, the county government is here. !"

Chen Can has gained a lot along the way, and he is also in a good mood: he feels that there is something that CDs don't have here.This kind of thing may be called vitality, perhaps, it is hope!
So, in a good mood, he gave the other party three hundred dollars at a time, which made Pan Dazhuang and others thank him repeatedly, and Pan Dazhuang even invited Chen Can and others to their Panlong Village as guests.

"Master is really a good person, can you give me your name? When you come to our Panlong Village as a guest in the future, everyone in Panlong Village will come to greet you."

"Hehehe, it's easy to say. My official is Chen Can, the newly appointed magistrate of Fuling County, Panlong Village. I will definitely visit Panlongzhai if I have a chance in the future." Chen Can enjoyed seeing it very much. When he reported his name , Pan Dazhuang and his party of five all stared wide-eyed and widened their mouths, completely dumbfounded.

"Hehehe, why did Magistrate Chen play tricks on this group of sticks?" A middle-aged man's voice broke the brief silence.

Seeing Chen Can turn his head, the middle-aged man cupped his hands: "I am the current Fuling County Mayor Li Shang and Li Shufeng who are waiting to hand over to County Mayor Chen. County Mayor Chen, please be polite."

"Oh, I don't dare to be the county magistrate to greet Li in person. My servant, Chen Can and Chen Boyu, met Li county magistrate."

After the two entered the county government office, Li Shang said: "Boyu has worked hard all the way, let's rest first. I have already prepared all the civil registers and account books of Fuling County. How about the handover tomorrow morning?"

"It's okay, Brother Shufeng. The younger brother will be very energetic. If Brother Shufeng will be fine, can you accompany the younger brother to talk at night?"

"Hehehe, good. So please go to the backyard to change clothes." Li Shang turned his head after speaking: "Come here, go and carry one jar of Naijiu from the No. [-] officer's car, no, two jars here."

After freshening up in Li Shang's backyard, Chen Can came to sit down in the lobby. Li Shang had already opened the wine jar, smelling the fragrant naijiu, Chen Can's spirit was lifted.

"Little brother only drank mulberry wine in CD, is this nai wine a new variety?"

Nai is the ancient name for local apples in China.Belongs to the list of green apples.Compared with red apples in the West, Nai has a stronger fragrance, but the sweetness is not as good.However, after removing the tannins with glycerin, the taste of the cider brewed with Nai is fresh and sweet.

"Of course. According to Guan Taishou, the local area is a river valley and high mountain area. There is no intense heat in summer and no bitter cold in winter. It is most suitable for the growth of natto. It is ashamed to say that Brother Yu has been working in Fuling County for five years. I have seen all kinds of wild fruits rotted in the fields all over the mountains and plains. I never knew that such fine wine could be brewed."

"Hehehe, brother, don't be ashamed. To be honest, after this fruit wine was released on the CD, many local merchants thought they had found new business opportunities, and sent a large number of people to the wild to pick wild fruits and come back to make wine. Who knows what kind of fruit wine will be produced? , all extremely bitter and completely inedible. Someone bought a large number of live pigs from Fuling County and thought that this fruit wine was related to something in the live pigs, and made many attempts, but none of them could restore the taste of Fuling County fruit wine. So, it doesn't hurt that elder brother didn't know how to use this wild fruit in the early years."

"Hehehe, my brother's words make sense. Hey, Guan Taishou is really a gift from heaven. To be honest, brother Yu, a few years ago, brother Yu was hoping that the court would transfer me away quickly. But now brother Yu really doesn't want to gone."

"It's my younger brother's fault for embarrassing my elder brother. Punish yourself with a drink."

"I'm just joking, I'm just joking. But my dear brother, after the arrival of the prefect, my Fuling County has undergone new changes every day. My dear brother, if you come to Fuling County to be the county magistrate, then you really come to enjoy the blessing."

"Oh, how do you say that brother?"

"My dear brother, as for the head of this county, in fact, there are only a few things: one is to collect money and grain to pay taxes; the other is to adjudicate disputes and handle cases impartially; the third is to prevent theft and capture animals to protect the environment and the people; the fourth is to open up new fields and develop people's livelihood. "

"Let's talk about the first item first. In the past, the people of Fuling County had few fields and barren land. It was difficult to collect taxes. In the 19th year of Yanxi, Pang Taishou spent a lot of effort and personally visited more than 30 people in five counties. The village community allowed Fuling County to turn over 20% of the government’s fixed amount of money and food to the state treasury. This is already the highest since Fuling County was established. But after the arrival of Guan Taishou, Yanxi’s [-] years of taxes were not only paid in full, I also paid [-]% more. Besides, my virtuous brother has seen along the way that if Fuling County continues to develop like this, unless the imperial court’s quota increases by [-]% every year, paying taxes will not be a problem at all.”

"Let's talk about the second item. Brother Yu used to be a headache. He dealt with trivial matters all day long. For example, two people argued back and forth in Brother Yu's courtroom for five days in order to fight for the ownership of a cloth bag! There is a way, everyone was poor at that time, every little thing was very precious. But now? The big drum in front of Brother Yu’s yamen has not sounded for a long time. Now everyone can earn money to buy it if they are willing to work hard. When it comes to food, as long as there is a little bit of self-improvement, who would spend so much time in court for a little thing."

"As for the latter two items, my virtuous brother should have heard about them in CD. The animal damage that has ravaged Fuling County has been suppressed. On the one hand, the Wuxi barbarians in this county are intimidated by the prefect, and on the other hand, as long as they are willing to put in the effort to pick wild fruits and oil Tongguo, you can get food in exchange for fishing and shellfish. So basically there will not be any villages that will not open their eyes to plunder the Han people. The threat of wild beasts and barbarians is gone, and we can go to the back of the valley. The mountains are advancing, and new fields are being opened up."

"So, in the past half a year, Brother Yu's life has been very comfortable - just post a post on daily business, and all the troubles that were common in the past are gone. I just enjoy the Fuxing Society all day long. The new things, these days, comfortable."

"Thank you, brother, for your enlightenment. But I also want to congratulate my brother on his promotion. Anyway, my brother's arable land and household registration in Fuling County have greatly increased. Therefore, it is only natural for the court to promote my brother as the prefect of Dangqu County."

"Hey, brother, brother Yu, this is because of people, and it's all because of Guan Taishou's honor. If I go to Dangqu County, I don't know how to deal with the Bandunman there."
