Chapter 118

With the approach of deep winter, the weather gets colder and colder.

In addition to Lu Lin's own money, there are also money from yamen servants. The county magistrate's money is three Liang a month, and there are certain subsidies during the Spring Festival. This time, there are three liang of charcoal silver which is near winter.

After becoming the magistrate, Lu Lin's money has been flowing out. It's not easy to see the money coming back. Although it's not much, it's enough to make Lu Lin happy.

After Lu Lin came, he organized the Qin family's father and son and Wan Li into officers. In this way, the Qin family's father and son and Wan Li didn't need him to pay their wages.

As a county magistrate, he has many advantages. For example, he can employ twelve yamen officers within the scope of his power. The money of these yamen officers is from above. If he fabricates a few people to come out, the money will go into his pocket.

The wages of these eight officers are not few.

Because of the pressure of the patrol camp, Lu Lin just organized a few men in his family into yamen officers for the time being.

Lu Lin pondered that he should set up the Yamen service team as soon as possible. Anyway, the Yamen service doesn't need to be paid by him. The main responsibility of the Yamen service is to help collect corvee and taxes, and then to catch thieves. All of these are tax-free, so he should be able to set up the team. As long as it's not too much, it shouldn't be a problem.

Time passed very quickly, and several days passed in a twinkling of an eye.

Lu Lin looked at Ji yun'an in the yard, frowned and said: "no one has come to lead this boy. Chen Xiaomi nodded and said in a depressed way:" that's right. I still thought that if someone came, there would be a ransom. As a result, no one came all the time.

Lu Lin some speechless way: "this guy stay at home every day, it seems that the family hired a small helper."

When Lu Lin just caught Ji yun'an, he thought that the boy's family should come to lead him soon. As a result, it has been ten days in a twinkling, but no one has come yet.

How can no one know the boy's identity? It doesn't come out of the cracks in the stone. "Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin narrowed their eyes and said," yes, Qin Yi said, there is a jade pendant hanging around the boy's neck. " A jade pendant costs a lot of silver. A guy who can wear a jade pendant is not an orphan. The kid has been lost for more than ten days, and the family is not worried.

"If this guy didn't look like a child from a poor family, I would have thought that it was someone who couldn't afford to raise a child and deliberately pushed it to us."

Chen Xiaomi stuffy way: "this guy, quite can eat."

At the beginning, the boy broke into an empty door, and his first impression was very important. Chen Xiaomi didn't have a good impression of Ji Yunan, and wheat didn't have a good impression of Ji Yunan either. He only gave him a bowl of porridge. However, the boy soon became familiar with wheat, and wheat was also a big heart. Soon he forgot the origin of this guy. Sometimes, Lu Lin opened a small kitchen for small dishes I will also remember to keep a copy for that smelly boy, which makes Chen Xiaomi worried.

"That kid seems to have practiced." Chen Xiaomi said.

Lu Lin touched his chin and said, "have you ever learned martial arts?" It can't be the child of a general.

Lu Lin talks to Chen Xiaomi, and Shen Chi comes in in a hurry.

"Ah Chi, why are you here? What's the matter?" Lu Lin looked at the flustered Shen Chi and asked.

Shen Chi some excited way: "patrol camp people come."

Lu Lin's spirit is boosted. Is the patrol camp here? Don't you come for trouble? Is that boy really from the camp. "Why are they here?"

"To buy tofu." Shen Chi looks strange.

Lu Lin nodded and said, "it's good to buy tofu." As long as you're not here to find fault.

The tofu made by him is very famous. Even the patrol camp heard the news.

"The boy who broke into the empty door is the nephew of the general of the patrol camp." Shen chidao.

Lu Lin frowned and said, "well, it's the patrol camp. Do you want to take people back when the patrol camp comes here?"

Shen Chi shook his head and said, "the people from the patrol camp said that Ji yun'an is stubborn. Let's go to the county government and discipline him on his behalf. You're welcome."

Lu Lin frowned and said, "what is this?" This patrol camp can't take care of this guy, so they should take charge of him.

"Where's the patrol camp man?" Lu Lin asked.

Shen Chi blinked and said, "I bought tofu and left. I said I still have official business. I can't stay long."

The patrol camp wanted a lot of people. Shen Chi's stock was limited, so he had to give them all the tofu first. Shen Chi thought that he would have to prepare more next time.

Lu Lin Most of his military officers are placed here by his nephew of the county commander. Isn't this his nephew? The lieutenant general doesn't want to put someone here to watch him. What's the use of a little boy? When Lu Lin goes to the yard, he sees Chen Mai sitting opposite Ji yun'an, staring at Ji yun'an curiously with his face in his hands.Chen wheat looked at Ji yun'an and said, "your uncle doesn't want you. He left you to my elder brother. You must be too useless."

Ji yun'an frowned at Chen Mai and said, "don't talk nonsense."

Chen Mai looked at Ji yun'an and said, "no! I'm telling you the truth. My second brother said that you ate very badly in your barracks. You ate too much because you could not afford to support you because of limited money. "

Ji yun'an blushed. Life in the military camp was not very good. In contrast, the dishes of the prefectural government were better.

Ji yun'an also saw that the county magistrate asked the people under his command to buy eggs in the surrounding villages. If he couldn't, he went to other villages to buy eggs. It was really not money to spend.

"My uncle is an honest official." Ji yun'an is a bit proud.

Chen wheat holds chin, way: "Lin Ge says, upright official is not necessarily good official."

Ji yun'an some suspicious way: "honest official how not a good official?"

"It's not a good thing for a county magistrate to live a clean and honest life with him." Chen said.

Ji yun'an said: "absurd."

Chen wheat disapproved of the way: "it's true, don't you want to eat good?"

Ji yun'an

Chen Xiaocai came in with a burden in his hand.

"Someone just came. Let me give you this burden."

Chen Ji'an finally realized that he was going to lose his burden here.

Chen Mai is a little excited. He steps forward. What's in the bag? Is there anything to eat? Ji yun'an opens the bag and finds that it's his clothes and some silver.

The money was given to Chen Xiaocai by the people who came here. He said it was the expenses for Ji yun'an to eat and live here. Chen Xiaocai didn't want to collect the money, but the people who came to send the money disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chen Xiaocai had no choice but to put the money into his burden.

"Nothing to eat!" Chen wheat some disappointed way.

Ji yun'an scratched his head and said in secret: the food in the barracks is much worse than that in the county government. Most of his uncle knows the situation here, so he won't bring food for himself. "If you have money, you can buy food."

Chen wheat shook his head, said: "this place is too poor, money can not buy anything."

Ji yun'an

If it's a pity that brother Chen can buy more wheat with less money

Ji yun'an puzzled way: "why do you have to buy an official?"

Chen wheat naturally way: "bought an official ability not to be bullied by the person!"

Ji yun'an puzzled way: "you were bullied."

Chen wheat nodded, casually will Chen millet was wronged before things to say, Jiyun an listen to indignation.

Ji Chengkang saw Liu Yun coming back and asked, "I see people."

Liu Yun nodded and said, "yes, but the young master was sent to pull the mill. He didn't see me."

"How is the boy?" Ji Chengkang has some worries.

"It looks good. It seems to be fat." Among the carpenters and blacksmiths who worked in the Lulin family, there were people from the original military camp. If these people hadn't watched, Ji Chengkang would not have been relieved that he would not have been there for so many days. "It's said that there are a lot of half grown boys in the county magistrate's family. They all ate very well. The young master also ate a lot of good food."

What did Liu Yun hear from the reporter about rice dumplings, rougamo, leek cakes, spring rolls It's not clear what it is, but it's a big move.

Ji Chengkang gave a wry smile and said, "it seems that his life as a prisoner is not bad."

Liu Yun hesitated and said, "general, is this OK? Just leave the young master in the county magistrate's office. "

"Didn't you say that he had a good time there, and he looked fat?" Ji Chengkang asked.

Liu Yun: "it's just That's right, but Ji Chengkang sighed and said, "the barracks are full of rude old men. Besides, although there is a truce, no one knows when the Liao state will send troops to fight. It's good to let him stay in the county government."

Liu Yun sighed, turned to the topic and said, "general, I bought the tofu."

Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "it's said that it tastes good. You asked the cook to make it for everyone." With limited military expenditure, Ji Chengkang also tried his best to make the people under his command eat better. However, there are many people in the military camp, so it's really difficult to eat well.

Liu Yun nodded and said, "the county magistrate is a kind man. He gave me some recipes. It's tofu."

Ji Chengkang said unexpectedly, "is that right? How about the prescription

"Here."

Ji Chengkang looked at the prescription, picked the eyebrow, said: "this prescription is written by the county magistrate.""Not bad."

Ji Chengkang face strange way: "did not expect this county magistrate adult, is literacy ah!" Lu Lin didn't want to go to the imperial examination or go to an official career. People who are used to using water pen and ball point pen are not used to writing brush. Although Lu Lin can read, it looks very awkward.

Although Liu Yun nodded, he didn't know how to write

Ji Chengkang face strange way: "at least is a literacy, writing ugly point is nothing."

The system of buying officials initiated by the imperial court has been criticized by people all the time. This system also plays a role in filling the national treasury. However, many of the people who are in charge of the government are empty and illiterate.

For the first time, the chef in the camp made tofu.

Now it's winter. I eat spicy food and my whole body is warm. The food in the camp is just like that. This Mapo Tofu improves the food very well.
