Chapter 454 Selflessness for the People

Elder lin was naturally aware of this, but since the news in the city hadn' t returned, he didn' t want to say anything else. He said," I' m also eating delicious food. I really need to discuss this matter carefully. "

Just as he was saying this, lin ping came back. The old man did not need to hide it anymore and asked directly," bro ping, did brother hua find out about this? "

"I heard, grandpa. He said that some officials have come down to pay taxes and grain taxes, but the county lord has not decided yet. Lin ping bowed to the crowd and poured a bowl of tea before gulping down his stomach.

Old master lin felt sorry for his grandson and said," you didn' t eat lunch, right? Go to the kitchen and find your mother to make noodles." "

"Well, grandpa, then I'll go down. "

Lin ping turned around and left, leaving everyone guessing that the old man had already made arrangements and they were all happy.

"What do you think of this, old man? If the magistrate wants to tax grain, our new rice top ordinary grain, can suffer a loss. Should I give a gift to the magistrate? "

"That's right, old master. Why don' t we all raise money to give a gift to the county lord? However, we don' t know what price new rice can sell for. If it doesn' t sell much, the gift will be too generous, and we' ll be at a disadvantage. This was a difficult task! "

The old man waved his hand and replied," I heard that the magistrate will be in office next year. I' m afraid he won' t accept gifts at this time. "

"What shall we do? "Everyone was a little anxious. After all, third master zhao was the one who knew the old in-laws best. When he saw that the old man was smoking, he smiled and said," don' t make any noise, brother. There must be a good way. "

Old master lin put down the cigarette pot and smiled." You old man, you' re just clinging to me, aren' t you? "

"Brother, you're really right. Not only me, but all of us. Who makes your grandchildren the most promising, the most capable, not bad for you, who to blame. "

Elder lin laughed heartily. Only then did everyone realize that they were in a hurry. The old man had already dealt with it, so they were relieved and started laughing together ...

In the autumn county, because the people were busy with farming and did not have time to go to the city, the street seemed a little cold.

The shop boy listlessly raised the feather duster, here sweep, there shan shan, occasionally yawn, recall last night's dream.

Occasionally, she would think about how much money she had saved for her family. Was it enough for her to get a betrothal gift? Could she marry a beautiful girl like her in a dream before the new year?

Suddenly, at the end of the street came the sound of a cheerful and festive gongs and drums, gradually getting closer and closer, so that the young man curiously ran to the door to watch the fun.

Slowly, the procession passed by, and the drum troupe was all dressed in red silk. Behind them were four students in new clothes who carried the same plaque covered with red silk. Finally, there were two or three hundred farmers, each of them beaming with joy.

The young man's heart was itching.he pulled a passerby who followed the procession and asked," big brother, what's going on? Where are we going to send the signboard? "

The passerby did not know, and replied casually," I heard that they are going to the county magistrate! "

"County magistrate? The young man was surprised. "

The passerby had no time to discuss with him and quickly chased after him to watch the show. The young man was so anxious that he didn' t dare to throw the shop away and run away.

Fortunately, the county magistrate was not far away. He was standing in front of the door with his feet crossed.

The team came to the county hall, gongs and drums sound, beating even louder lively.

There had been a police officer running to the back to report to her.

Suddenly, he heard that someone was beating drums and gongs to deliver the signboard. Not to mention that his concubine was surprised, the building itself could not believe it.

Although he had been in office for three years and had not scraped the ground or bullied the people, to be honest, he had not done anything good.

Now, someone suddenly came to his face to" brush gold." He felt guilty and did not know how to face this" gold fan."

"It's said outside. Why are you giving me the signboard? "

The police officer who reported the news was also smart. He smiled and replied," master is diligent and impartial. He has done good deeds for the people for so many years. The person outside didn' t say anything, so I couldn' t guess which one it was! "

"Good boy, you have a good mouth. "

The building side was coaxed to smile, while extending his hand to let the concubine dress in official clothes, while ordering," reward!" "

The servant happily took the money from the servant girl and was elated. He had just come in to inform her and had already taken a wallet from a guest outside. Now that he had earned another one, such a good thing would be good enough for him to come here every day in the future ...

The building was in a hurry to tidy up, and the master and the county magistrate heard the news and rushed over.

The crowd marched to the entrance of the county hall. There were already about five or six hundred people gathered outside the door.

Seeing the county lord come out, I don't know who took the lead and shouted," the building master came out and kowtowed to the building master!" Lord xie lou brought us a bumper harvest of rice! "

The rest of them also started shouting, and then they all fell to their knees, so shocked that the building quickly reached out to help them.

"Get up, folks, and get up. What is this? Speak slowly if you have something to say. "

The master was at the side, and hearing this, he sounded like a weak scholar who was in the same way as a burly man begging for mercy. He quickly took the lead and smiled." Yes, villagers. As a parent, the master of the building works for the people and never asks for anything in return. Everybody get up quickly, let's talk slowly. "

Everyone kowtowed again before they all stood up. The crowd then split into two, revealing a path. An old man walked out, followed by four students who raised the signboard.

The building recognized her immediately and smiled." Ah, elder lin, what are you ..."

Old master lin bowed his head and raised his head, but he said loudly," sir lou, you' ve been to the field many times over the past year. You' ve brought your people with you to ponder and cultivate rice. We' ve all witnessed your hard work and we' re grateful. Now the rice had a bumper harvest, we do not know how to thank the big talent, specially made a plaque sent, in addition to 100 catties of white rice, let the adults also taste you pay hard to get food. "

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand and the four posterity students stepped forward with the signboard. The old man pulled down the red silk and revealed four black gold words," selfless for the people." In addition, there were a few old men, each carrying a bag of rice to the front.

"My lord, this is the harvest rice from our lin family village. "

"This is from our little village. "

"This is the house of zhao. "

"This is our three mile river. "

The building stared at the golden plaque and a bag of rice. When did he go deep into the fields to care about planting rice, and when did he lead the people to ponder planting rice?

How could he not know about this?
