Chapter 73 Harvest (2)

In May, the sun is shining.

The ripe wheat is heavy, as if it is a layer of golden blanket on it.

In Jishui County, the wheat waves are rolling. It is the harvest season. The whole county has already dispatched to harvest the wheat happily.

In front of a field, a group of people patrolled. Today is the first day of wheat harvest. As the county chief, Xue Yuan was present.

Xue Yuan, who was wearing an official uniform and standing with the minor official, was better at the time, but then he frowned and asked the person next to him with uncertainty: "My eyelids have been twitching these days. Do you think this is a sign that something will happen?"

Beside him, he was accompanied by a young clerk who was promoted by him. This person is ordinary in appearance, but kind in character and capable.

After hearing what Xue Yuan said, the little official turned his face and looked at his uncle's face for a while.

"Uncle, you've probably been 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 is not very useful to Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan said, "No, something must have happened."

As he was talking, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from a distance.

Xue Yuanxin raised her eyes and looked over there quickly.

I saw a fast horse running quickly from the direction of the county town. When I got closer, I saw clearly that the person on the horse was the servant in the mansion.

The man suddenly strangled the horse in front of Xue Yuan, then jumped off from above, quickly walked to Xue Yuan, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Ah?" After hearing the other party's whisper, Xue Yuan was stunned for a moment, then jumped up.

"You continue to command here. I will go back to the county town in advance. Remember, I will come back soon. You must not leave this place. Someone may ask you to pay homage."

As he said that, he led his horse by his side, quickly got on the horse, and left with the servant who reported the news.

"Is it possible... someone from the mansion city came?" The little official stood there, looking at the county magistrate going far away, thinking to himself.

Seeing that the two of them were soon gone, they had to shake their heads and continue patrolling the field.

Xue Yuan rode back to the county town, and as soon as he arrived at the county government gate, he jumped off the horse.

"Man is inside?" He asked the person who returned with him.

"Yes, sir, I'm resting in the side hall." The servant replied.

Without saying a word, Xue Yuan stuffed the reins of the horse into the man's hand and walked inward. When he came to the door of the side hall, more than ten meters away, he had heard laughter from inside.

Standing there, taking a deep breath, and then tidied up, Xue Yuan continued to strode in.

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

Looking at the familiar faces in the hall, Xue Yuan couldn't help it anymore and fell to the ground, saluting and saying, "Xue Yuan has seen his lord."

"Come on, get up quickly, get up quickly." He helped Xue Yuan up with his hands.

Wang Hongyi looked Xue Yuan up and down, and Fang smiled and said, "You haven't seen each other for many days, but you are much thinner."

"The same is true for the lord. You should take care of yourself." Xue Yuan replied.

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

Although the two are kings and ministers, they have some friendship. After some greetings, the atmosphere became relaxed.

"Lord, why did you suddenly come here? Is it because of wheat harvest?" Xue Yuan asked.

"That's right." Wang Hongyi nodded: "Jishui County is different from other counties. This place should be considered a granary. It is already the harvest season and there is not much work in the capital city, so I came to take a look... By the way, I will also see you."

After hearing this last sentence, Xue Yuan couldn't help but blush his eyes: "Xue Yuan thanks for his lord."

"You, as the county magistrate, you are more cautious than before."

Xue Yuan bowed and replied respectfully: "Lord, as the head of a county, I should be stricter in discipline myself."

Knowing that the status is different now, the attitudes will also be different.

Seeing his former follower facing his restraint, Wang Hongyi was still a little moved.

"Master, can you stay here for this trip? If you stay overnight, I'd like to ask someone to clean up early and get out of the hospital."

"I'm afraid I can't leave later, so I stay for one night and leave tomorrow." Wang Hongyi said with thought: "As for the courtyard, there is no need to be too troublesome. You don't know my temperament. I don't pay much attention to this aspect. You don't have to worry about it. Just look for a clean courtyard and stay for one night."

Xue Yuan responded.

Even though 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 clean it before dark.

Many matters are carefully interrogated and arranged carefully.

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

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

I have to say that Xue Yuan was cautious and careful and was a capable minister. Under his governance, Jishui County has flourished a lot, with 2,500 households.

"Xue Yuan, you did not disappoint me. It is right to hand over this county to you to manage." Wang Hongyi suddenly said on the road, looking at the road.

Xue Yuan laughed and said, "My lord, it's not the foundation you left behind. If you hadn't managed it properly and handed over a mess to me, even if I was worried about my white hair, I wouldn't have managed it to this extent. It's all up to my lord's blessing!"

Wang Hongyi was stunned for a moment and smiled: "When you first met you, you thought you had been here for a long time and your temperament became more and more restrained, but now it seems that you have not seen each other for many days, and you are more and more able to speak."

Then, he rode his horse forward.

If Wang Hongyi said this to other officials, he would have been scared to the other party and kowtowed and admitted his mistake. Xue Yuan was from Wang Hongyi's team, so it was different. Wang Hongyi said this and knew that the general regarded him as his confidant.

I was urging the horse to follow.

After leaving the county town, there were golden yellow on both sides of the road, and the wheat waves moved with the wind. Every time, they were like waves rolling.

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

"The wheat growth this time is very gratifying. I think the harvest this year will not be too bad." Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, Wang Hongyi held the horse, sat on the horse, and said softly.

"Lord, please rest assured that these fields have all given you the immortal recipe. Xue Yuan will do the harvest properly." Then, Xue Yuan's voice sounded.

He trusted Xue Yuan and Wang Hongyi, otherwise he would not have handed over the county to him for governance.

After hearing Xue Yuan’s promise, Wang Hongyi nodded.

"Go and go over there and take a look." Pointing ahead, Wang Hongyi took the lead again. Xue Yuan saw that direction, his eyes flashed, and he followed.

"Who is the one who is in charge of harvesting wheat in front?" A wheat field in Jishui County has begun to harvest wheat. Wang Hongyi pulled his horse in front of the ground. Seeing that the command here was appropriate and efficient, he turned around and asked.

"Master, this person is my new minor official Xue Chengren." Xue Yuan replied: "It's my nephew."

"It's a bit of ability." Wang Hongyi looked at it for a while and said, what surprised him was that the man's destiny was red, and his future position could be used by the county magistrate. If he had the opportunity to break through, it would be impossible for the prefect to do so.

After a while, Xue Chengren had obviously discovered the county master, so he hurriedly handed over the work to others and came over by himself.

"Sir, you are back."

"Xue Chengren, why don't you come here to see the general?" Xue Yuan knew that Xue Chengren didn't know the lord, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Xue Chengren was stunned and turned to look at the young man. This person was actually General Dingyuan?

"Xue Chengren has met the General." He hurriedly stepped forward and took a big gift.

Wang Hongyi asked some questions, and Xue Chengren responded properly, which made Wang Hongyi nodded repeatedly.

"This person is good." Continuing to patrol, Wang Hongyi said with a smile on the way. Although this person is not a talented person, he is well-behaved and can afford to be a county.

"Master, this son is from our clan and has no foundation. He just has a look of his eyes since childhood, knows how to advance and retreat, and has also known some words. Being a minor official is indeed a good candidate."

Listening to Xue Yuan's explanation, Wang Hongyi said, "You did a great job."

In this era, unless there are special circumstances, it is difficult for those who are not from major families to learn literature and learn literature.

Jishui County was where Wang Hongyi started. Xue Yuan was reluctant to move here and did not dare to make a big move. Even appointing a minor official was worried.

Being cautious is good, but being too cautious will hinder the development of this county. Wang Hongyi cannot hold two positions. He really wants to make him feel at ease when he comes this time.

At this moment, there was a "boom" in the distance, and cheers came, which was so shocking that everyone looked at each other. Before they could send someone to see what was going on, they saw neat cheers soaring into the sky.

"Three Stones!"

"Three Stones!"

"Three Stones!"

"The yield per mu is three stones, this time it's a great harvest!" Wang Hongyi said with a smile, and a stone fell in his heart. This matter was done.

After a while, these people who had achieved good harvests flocked to Wang Hongyi and Xue Yuan and kowtowed to him: "Thank you, General, thank you, thank you, the county magistrate!"

After the people knelt down, Wang Hongyi had nothing to do. He first looked at the tripod. The tripod on the top did not become larger, but became much thicker, and the clouds were growing slightly.

But Xue Yuan quickly dismounted and said, "I dare not, this is God's care and the general's kindness. What is my Xue Yuan?"

That's what he said, and in a few bows, the clouds above his head exploded, and a red life spanned. Seeing this, Wang Hongyi laughed: "Xue Yuan, you have made contributions to governing the county, and I will be promoted to you as the magistrate of the seventh rank of county magistrate."

After saying that, he watched the luck of everyone again, but was shocked. He saw that among the boiling people, a trace of white air was filled with the red.

"Sure enough, this great harvest will surely make luck and oil cooked with fire and flowers. If the fortune of the people is dyed red, I will get the so-called fire virtue and sweep across Shu and even the world." Wang Hongyi thought secretly, as for the words of prosperity and decline from prosperity, he didn't even think about it.
