In the evening, Brother Yu couldn't stay in his room, he hummed and pointed at the door, Xie Ning carried him and his family downstairs, and sat in the hall on the first floor of the inn to have dinner.

Coincidentally, the men in Chinese clothes I met at noon were also staying at the inn, and they were very close. Brother Yu couldn't help being attracted by the colorful birds again.

Not to mention Brother Yu, everyone in the inn was staring at the birdcage.

"Ah! Ah!" Brother Yu stepped on Grandpa's thigh, and with weak feet, he wanted to get close to the birdcage.

"No, open your mouth, ah..." Xie Ning blocked his son's sight, scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge and fed it to Brother Yu.

"Hmm..." Brother Yu pretended to cry again, with his small mouth flattened, his small nose wrinkled, and he just hummed if he didn't like it.

Xie Ning didn't want his son's crying to affect other people, so he wanted to carry him upstairs with a straight face.

In the end, the man in the fancy dress was magnanimous, and he handed the birdcage in front of Brother Yu, "Do you like my three-colored thrush? Let me show you, don't cry."

Brother Yu just fell into his father's arms, one small fat hand grabbed his father's skirt, and the other hand poked at the bird cage, his five fingers spread out, and his fat and short little finger stretched into the cage to look for the bird.

The bird turned around, avoiding his little finger, and started singing again from a distance.

Yu Ge'er can't let it rain even if it thunders, now he stares at the three-colored bird in a daze, and doesn't whine anymore.His round black eyeballs are innocent and naive, and the people around him looked at such a soft baby, and their voices became softer.

Xie Ning thanked the man in the fancy dress.

The man in Chinese clothes smiled, clapped his hands and said, "How old is this doll? It's so cute."

"It's almost one year old." Xie Ning replied.

"Uncle, can I give you a hug?" After finishing speaking, the man in Chinese clothes tentatively stretched out his hand to Brother Yu.

Xie Ning saw that Brother Yu didn't reject him, so he asked the man to hug him. The man in fine clothes praised Brother Yu a few words, and immediately returned it to Xie Ning.

Brother Yu had had enough fun, and he opened his mouth wide to cooperate when he was fed porridge, and when he was full, he was carried upstairs, so there would be no fuss.

After resting for two nights at the Ping An Inn, at noon on the third day, he finally waited until Zhou Ji Nian, and Mr. Wu, the prefect of Jianzhou, came with him.

After leaving the inn and continuing on their way, Xie Ning and Zhou Jinian sat face to face in the carriage and asked curiously, "Why did Master Wu call you back?"

"Sure enough, the Wu Bridge collapsed. The bridge repair department was ignorant and perfunctory. They only used glutinous rice glue to caulk the bridge deck, leaving the bridge foundation and pillars in the water alone."

"Ah?" It was the first time Xie Ning heard of such a bridge repair method, "The bridge collapsed, no one was killed, right?"

"Before the bridge collapsed, the bridge was closed, and only officials walked around to check the problem. When the bridge collapsed, a few people fell. Few people simply fell into the water, and they were rescued immediately. Only two people were hit by bridge stones. Fortunately, Life is safe."

As the largest bridge in Jianzhou Prefecture, Wu Bridge has a long history. The ancestors worked hard to transport the granite up the mountain to chisel the shape, dig the foundation pit and lay wooden piles to build the bridge foundation. will be very strong.

It will be built every three years. Who knows that this time, the small officials of the Jianzhou government saw that the Wu Bridge was strong, so they boldly paid for the bridge repair project, which caused Wu Bridge to support it for two years, and finally something happened.

Xie Ning followed suit, "It's a good thing those red carps have auras, and they knew their homes were not safe, so they filed a complaint with me, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it."

Zhou Jinnian nodded, from this it can be seen that when recruiting troops, one must pick people with good moral character.

If there is no red carp to report to Xie Ning, if Xie Ning can't sense it, there are countless people passing by this Wuqiao every day, as well as the beasts with loads, if hundreds of catties of heavy objects fall down, wouldn't it be fatal?At that time, local officials will definitely be implicated.

The messenger officer hurried to Nanyu County first, so an hour later, when Zhou Jinnian and the others arrived at the place, the county magistrate and magistrate had already been waiting for a long time.

Fortunately, someone came to report in advance. I don't know what is the origin of the new boss, County Magistrate Zhou?Actually, please drive the magistrate to see you off in person.

In front of the prefect of Wu, Zhou Jinian was treated with respect and respect.

Prefect Wu: "This is the 38th year of Qingyuan, the year of Jieyuan Zhou Ji, the county magistrate of Zhou County. The magistrate of Zhou County is concerned with the people. He is specially sent by the imperial court to govern Nanyu County. You need to do your best to help."

"Yes, Master Wu, don't worry, we will be loyal to Master Zhou!"

"Okay." Wu Zhifu raised his finger to the county gate, meaning to open the way, and asked as he walked, "Is Zhou County Magistrate's residence ready? Take me to see it."

Zhou Jinnian was walking beside the prefect of Wu, and he felt something when he heard the words. As his superior, being able to do this for him so far has already praised him very much, and he also has a good impression of prefect Wu in his heart.

"This..." Wei Zhiwu of Wang County, together with the eighth-rank official, mainly in charge of the security of Nanyu County, was born as a martial artist and had no brains.

"It's been cleaned up. As soon as Mr. Zhou landed in Fucheng, we ordered someone to clean it up after we got the letter. It's just..." It was Li Xiancheng who was speaking, the assistant official of Bapin County.

Both of them were humming and humming one by one, who could know that there was a mistake?

"How?" Wu Dao stopped directly, with an official look on his face.

"It's just that when I went back to Nantian, a few places were damp, so it took some time to edit."

Returning to Nantian is usually in March and April, obviously this is just an excuse for the county magistrate.

"After the year, the Ministry of Officials issued an order. It will be September soon, and it is still being repaired? It is so lazy and obedient. No wonder Nanyu County suffered a small crop flood last year and suffered heavy losses!"

The prefect Wu became more and more angry as he talked, and he threw his sleeves behind his back and criticized angrily: "We only make preparations when we arrive at the door. The official has repeatedly emphasized that you will ignore the wind! This year's autumn harvest, your Nanyu County tax file will be submitted. The official has seen it in person!"

"This..." Wang Xianwei anxiously grabbed the county magistrate's wrist. The county magistrate's mansion was taken over by Li Xiancheng, and he just received some unsightly benefits!

Wu Zhifu's words are nothing more than igniting the fire. No matter whether the tax files are handed in or not, they are just looking for an excuse to punish them!

Li Xiancheng: "Lord Wu calm down! I promise to fix it within three days, Lord Zhou..."

He is a fine person and knows to ask Zhou Ji Nian for help.

Zhou Jinian understood, he cupped his hands and thanked Wu Zhifu first, and said: "It's okay, since it's caused by the weather, it's nothing to do with man-made, it's just a matter of staying later, it's okay if I find an inn to wait for two days."

Wu Zhifu snorted, "Come on, County Magistrate Zhou is reasonable, you can settle it quickly, don't procrastinate. Zhou County's hotel expenses, you can wait and see, and you are not allowed to embezzle official money."

"Yes, yes, yes! The next official will deal with it properly! Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your forgiveness."

"Huh?" Prefect Wu rolled his eyes and was about to explode again.

"Thank you Master Zhou for your understanding, Master Zhou is magnanimous and righteous, and I will definitely serve you faithfully!"

"I will also serve you loyally!"

With this little episode, Li Xiancheng didn't dare to think carefully anymore, even if there was, the county lieutenant would not be able to stand in his line.

Seeing that the post of county magistrate had been vacant for a long time, Li Xiancheng thought that he could be promoted and clear up the relationship between the upper and lower levels. Seeing that the prefect Wu was about to write him a recommendation letter, he immediately took the initiative to occupy the inner courtyard of the county government where the county magistrate originally lived.

Unexpectedly, last year he was negligent and improperly controlled the water, and the crops were slightly waterlogged. The old Wu Dao tore up the recommendation letter and refused to recommend him to the top position, and then he killed Bi Mawen halfway through!

He lived everywhere, and it was difficult for him to go from extravagance to frugality. He wanted to rely on himself as a local snake and muddle through, but he didn't want to come. Bi Mawen had the prefect as his backer.

Miscalculation, miscalculation!

……

The new official took office three fires, Zhou Jinian had just moved back to the county yamen courtyard, and immediately became busy.One is to have dinner with the local masters, the other is to familiarize yourself with the situation in Nanyu County, and the third is to deal with documents and files that have accumulated as many hills.

Every time Brother Yu fell asleep, Zhou Jinnian came back. After being so busy for more than ten days, it was rare for father and son to see each other awake.

On this day, I took a rest for a long time, so I took a snooze for a while.Xie Ning took his son to pee, seeing that Brother Yu was still sleepy and his voice was humming, so he put him beside Ji Nian and coaxed him softly, "Then you can sleep with your father for a while, don't Nao, Daddy is going to cook fish for you."

Brother Yu hugged his father's arm, pouted his little butt and kicked his feet on Zhou Jinnian's waist, curled up in a small ball beside his tall father, cute and soft.

They live in the backyard of the county government office, which is the safest place in Nanyu County. As long as the back door is locked, Brother Yu will be well protected, so Xie Ning is also very relieved.

There is a fishing village on the outskirts of Nanyu County, which is rich in seafood. The fish, shrimp and crab are cheap and delicious. There is also kelp, which is a must in cold soup.

Coming here, the diet most suits Xie Ning and Brother Yu's appetite.

Zhou Jinnian's face was wet in his sleep, he thought the roof was leaking, when he opened his eyes, Brother Yu stared at innocent big eyes, with a drop of saliva dripping from his chin.

"So cute." Zhou Jinian sat up and hugged his son, interacting with each other.

Brother Yu didn't make any noise when he woke up, just sat and picked his little feet and looked at his father's face.

After Xie Ning finished cooking the porridge with mushrooms and fish and mixed a plate of shredded kelp, he walked towards the door, and he heard his son's giggling from afar.

He went into the room and saw that Brother Yu could crawl!Two months late, I finally climbed.

"Brother Yu can crawl? Daddy's good son, really amazing."

Hearing Daddy's voice, Brother Yu lay down on the bed with his arms loose. He turned over skillfully, his chubby legs kicked the air, and stretched out his little paws, "Mmm... um..."

Xie Ning picked him up, and he stopped humming.

The weather was hot, and Brother Yu wore a small bellyband and a thin sheet before going to bed. Now he was hugging him in his arms, and his tentacles were his soft and tender flesh.

Xie Ning hugged his son and said to his husband: "I cooked fish porridge and mixed it with your favorite kelp. You have to be free today, so you can rest later."

I ran all the way to take office, and I haven't relaxed for a day. My husband is busy with official duties. It's only been more than ten days. Zhou Ji Nian is much darker. After taking off his clothes, there is a dividing line around his neck.

"Have a good rest. I'll accompany you out for a walk at noon and take Brother Yu with you." Zhou Jinnian got up. When he was busy with official duties, it was Xie Ning who took care of his son and took care of his parents. How could he take care of himself? Let Ning Lang serve him one more time?

But most importantly, he wanted to go out with Fu Lang.

"It's rare that you can rest for a day. I'm not in a hurry to go out. Besides, Nanyu County will last a long time, three to five years, so there's no rush." ​​Xie Ning hugged his son, and could only watch Zhou Jinnian get dressed, thinking of course She was looking forward to going out with Zhou Jinnian, but it was true that she felt sorry for her husband.

"Let's go." Zhou Jinian insisted.

Xie Ning sighed, "I'm serious, you give me a good rest at home today, and accompany Brother Yu..."

Zhou Jinnian walked directly in front of the little husband, bowed his head and stretched his neck to gag the little husband.

Brother Yu was taken aback by his father's unexpectedly enlarged face, and stretched out his hand to pick and push.

Can Zhou Jinian be taught by his son to do things?At that moment, she deliberately kissed her husband's lips with inseparable inseparability.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Brother Yu slapped his father's neck with two little fleshy claws.

Xie Ning was accidentally injured by his son's nipple, so he let out a soft "ah".

Only then did Zhou Jinnian back away, tied the rope around his waist, took Yu Geer, put Yu Geer on one of his strong arms, and deliberately patted his little buttocks with the other hand.

"I kissed my husband, and my husband agreed. You don't want to have sex? Huh?"

"Hmm...huh..." Brother Yu pretended to cry with his mouth flat on his stomach, Zhou Jinnian didn't use any strength, he hummed on purpose when he didn't feel pain, the little baby was fine.

Embarrassed by her husband's series of actions and words, Xie Ning covered Zhou Jinian's mouth with one hand, and kicked him lightly.

"Shut up!" Who is happy? !

"Hiss..." Zhou Jinnian frowned and bit a few words, "My husband spoils you too much!"

Hearing what he said, Xie Ning was not afraid at all, he knew his husband very well.

Sure enough, Zhou Jinnian went on to say: "Hit whatever you want, but don't say what you mean!"

After finishing speaking, while Brother Yu was still lying on his arm, he stretched his neck to peck the little husband's lips, and finally walked out of the room with Brother Yu in his arms.

Xie Ning looked at the person's back and scraped his lower lip with his upper front teeth, feeling a little embarrassed, but he liked it so much!

Brother Yu hummed twice, and he was amused by his father lifting his arms and lifting weights, and he laughed "humming humming" again.

……

Wearing a simple cloth shirt, Zhou Jinian hugged his son and led Xie Ning to go shopping in Nanyu County.

Xie Ning looked around and said, "Well, the houses are almost all made of wood."

"Jianzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the weather is changeable and hot, so we pay attention to drainage and ventilation. But look at the patterns on the wood, which are delicate and romantic, and have a very Jiangnan style."

Xie Ning nodded, and continued to look for the difference between Jianzhou Prefecture and Yuezhou Prefecture with his eyes.

Xie Ning also saw a lot during the three relocations with Zhou Jinnian. It can be said that Nanyu County is the most backward county he has ever seen.

Nanyu County is in dire straits, most of the people are thin and dark, and in the most prosperous streets, you can also see beggars who are homeless and have nowhere to shelter from the rain.

Compared with Xie Ning's feelings, Zhou Jinnian was even more shocked. He lived in a high hall in his previous life, how could he have seen the real appearance of such a remote place?

After shopping with his son Fulang all afternoon, Zhou Jinnian went back to his study at night and stayed up late to read the tax files.He found that the surrounding villages in Nanyu County suffered minor floods last year, and their grain production decreased, so the first thing he faced was to solve the food problem.

After that, Zhou Jinnian took several officials and warriors to the countryside to patrol the fields.

In the countryside, the fertile land and good paddy fields have been occupied by the landlords and evil gentry. If the poor people want to eat, they have to farm for the landlords and exchange their labor for food.

Productivity is low. If poor people go to open up wasteland by themselves, they are likely to starve to death, and the fertile land reclaimed will be forcibly seized by landlords.

So Zhou Ji Nian immediately went back to order, calling on the people to encourage the people to reclaim the fields, and let the yamen servants beat gongs and drums to spread the news.

The officials spread the news everywhere, shouting while beating the gong: "Blessings! The county magistrate announced that the land reclaimed from today will be owned by the reclaimers, and the land tax will be exempted for the first five years. Those who have no land at home and those who have land are not enough. Hurry up and go to the open place."

"Really? No request?"

"The only request, listen up! Choose the land to be opened and report it to the Yamen. After the measurement and registration, you can start reclamation. As long as you register, take the paperwork from the Yamen, whoever will seize whoever!"

"Then let's help the county magistrate to open up the land and take care of the food?"

"Confused! This land was opened for yourself, and the land tax was exempted for the first five years. How can this be for Mr. Zhou?"

"Can I drive anywhere?"

"Then you have to weigh it yourself carefully. Once the land you choose has passed the registration, you must continue to open it, so you will report it after the land is selected." Don't tire them out. I negotiated it myself.

If there are those who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, openly choose the top of the mountain, wouldn't they climb to death a few of their registered people?

"..."

A few officials beat the gong and went to another street, followed by a few ordinary people, and the rest gathered in the middle of the road to discuss.

"That's good, this is really good news. Lao Lin, hurry up and tell your village that even if you borrow food for a few months, you have to open up the land. This is all for your own future."

"Yes, hurry up, I'll go back to the village right away, choose the good land and report it to the government officials to measure it."

"Go quickly, I'll show you your shop for two days."

……

Not long after the news of encouraging land reclamation spread, Zhou Jinian sent Xie Yao a letter.During the second rest, he took Xie Ning and Brother Yu to patrol the fishing village.

There are two small fishing villages outside Nanyu County, one east and one west, and the family of three went to the nearby Xihai Village.

Xihai Village is close to the county seat, and trade and transportation are relatively convenient, so some newly built houses are similar to those in the county seat, and the fence yard is also surrounded by bamboo chips.

What's interesting is that some wooden houses in Xihai Village are not directly located on the ground, but a section of the foundation is hollowed out, and rows of wooden piles are staggered to support a small wooden house.

Xie Ning carried his beloved little bamboo basket, Brother Yu fell asleep again in the bumpy carriage, and at this time a small ball was lying on his father's shoulder.

"This is really interesting, the house in the sky." Xie Ning exclaimed.

"Castle in the air, I have seen it in a book. It is said that the land bordering the sea, the air and the land are very humid. Building a house in this way is anti-corrosion and ventilated, and the wood is not easy to rot."

The two of them didn't enter the village, turned right downhill, and walked towards the beach. They could hear the sound of the waves from a distance. The tide rushed straight to the beach, making the sound of waves hitting the sand.

Xie Ning took a tiger hat from the small basket, "I'll put it on for Brother Yu, the wind is strong, don't blow it."

Zhou Jinnian supported Brother Yu's warm little body, and cooperated with Xie Ning to put a hat on his son.

Brother Yu was twitched twice by someone he was familiar with, frowned, and moaned without moving his eyes, "Uh...huh...huh..."

"Daddy put on a hat for you. Look at your head, it's bald. You cry at night if you blow it off."

Hearing Xie Ning say this about his precious son, Zhou Jinnian gently rubbed Xie Ning's foot with his foot.

Xie Ning put a hat on his son, carried a small bamboo basket and continued to walk, adding unwillingly: "I'm worried, you said that the back of his head is bald, what will he do when he grows up?"

"It's okay, he's still young, it's because he fell asleep, and it will grow out when he can walk."

Brother Yu has had three hairs on his head since he was born, and he shaved his fetal hair at the Hundred Days Banquet, so a handful of them will be enough to make a writing brush.

Xie Ning looked sad, who knew that Brother Yu was already one year old, the hair on the top of his head had grown out, and the back of his head was bald on the east and west.

Looking at the little bald boy he gave birth to, even though he has big eyes and a fat face, no matter how cute his son is, at first glance he is a little bald boy, Xie Ning, a father, suddenly felt guilty.

So after hearing Zhou Ji Nian's explanation, Xie Ning was a little pleasantly surprised, and immediately made a decision and said, "Then don't tell him to lie down to sleep tonight! I'll hug him to sleep."

"Brother Yu grew older and couldn't hold him anymore. He crawled so fast yesterday, his feet were as fleshy as steamed buns, he crawled to the end of the bed, he wanted to stand up when he was lying on the bed, and he was angry with me when he couldn't stand up... "Xie Ning bullied his son for not being able to understand the words, and made arrangements as he walked.

After descending the slope and walking forward for dozens of steps, a lot of bamboo poles were set up on the coast, on which wide and long kelp and fish were dried.

As the two approached, the air began to smell salty.

It was too close to the sea, and Brother Yu could clearly hear the sound of the turbulent waves. He hummed a few words as usual, and told the two fathers that he, the king, had woken up.

"Brother Yu is awake? Look, what is this?"

Xie Ning raised a long kelp head and handed it to Brother Yu to attract his attention.

"Yeah!" Brother Yu stopped crying immediately, and snorted with his small mouth, stretching out his little claws to grab the kelp.

Xie Ning let go, and the kelp was safely hanging on the bamboo pole to bask in the sun.

Brother Yu is really good-tempered, and he doesn't make a fuss if he can't touch it. He stretched out his two small arms and threw himself at Xie Ning, his small mouth kept babbling, "Ah!"

Seeing his son's movements, Xie Ning knew that he wanted to hug him, so he hugged Brother Yu's small body, let him sit on his arm, and took him to watch the sea from a distance.

"Look, there's a lot of water, brother Yu, do you like it?" Xie Ning pointed at the sea, looking down at his son's expression seriously.

Brother Yu's eyes were wide open, and because his cheeks were too fleshy, his mouth was always pouting.

Xie Ning smiled slightly, his son couldn't get enough of it no matter what, he was so rare, he leaned over and rubbed Brother Yu's chubby face.

Brother Yu pursed his mouth, still focused on watching the waves, and suddenly reacted, with a small body, he shouted excitedly.

"Ah! Ahh!"

The couple also liked their son's lively appearance, so Zhou Jinnian found a small shell on the beach and stuffed it for Brother Yu.

Brother Yu took the small shell from his father. The shell should have been sent ashore a long time ago, and it was already calcified after being exposed to the sun.

The shell, which was as big as Brother Yu's meaty claw, was pinched by his fingers, and he was about to stuff it into his mouth without even looking at it.

"No." Zhou Jinian lightly held Brother Yu's little paw, lowered his body slightly and made eye contact with Brother Yu, and said seriously: "You can't feed it into your mouth."

Brother Yu was held by his father, and he didn't cry. He blinked his big innocent eyes and stared blankly at his father.

Zhou Jinian tentatively let go, but did not take the shell.

As soon as Brother Yu's little paw was released, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth again.

Zhou Jinnian held his son's little paw again, and said, "No, if you stuff it in your mouth again, Dad won't give it to you."

Xie Ning couldn't help laughing, "Take it away, he's too young to understand."

But what was surprising was that this time when Zhou Jinnian let go again, Brother Yu really didn't make the movement of feeding the shells into his mouth again.

He was only young, and his father stopped him twice, which more or less affected him.

Zhou Jinnian never snatched things from Brother Yu, but he would block them. Others said that he was too serious a father, but in fact, this was just his own way of educating his son.

It's better than grabbing it first, causing Brother Yu to cry and then reasoning. The child is only crying, how can he listen to his father?

Fortunately, Brother Yu is his own after all, and his education method is also applicable to Brother Yu.
