Wei and Jin cooks

The villagers brought things from home, and some even brought their own earthen pots and small cauldrons. If you light more fires, the cooking speed will be faster.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Rong and others who were still sitting, glared and said: "What are you still doing? Go and help!"

Zhao Rong and others came to their senses and quickly got up to help light the fire and fetch water. They also went to the river to find the guards who were cutting venison and roe deer meat to get meat.

The villagers did not dare to take it, so they could only wait for them to take the chopped bones and meat and put them into cauldrons and earthen jars.

After a while, the smell of meat wafted from the village. Zhao Hanzhang turned the hanging deer leg, cut off a few pieces of meat with a dagger, took a leaf to hold it, and then sprinkled a little salt on it. , handed it to the old man with both hands.

The old man waved his hands in panic, "General, eat first."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and put the leaves in his hand and said: "The elders eat first."

She called to Wei Xian and others, "Everyone, come here and eat meat."

The villagers crowded over one after another, looking at the old man with envy. They couldn't help but swallowed as they smelled the smell of meat.

Zhao Hanzhang gave them pieces of meat to eat. Everyone who could get the meat sliced ​​by Zhao Hanzhang was very excited and wanted to take the meat home as an offering. But seeing that everyone had eaten it and the smell of meat on the tip of their noses was too fragrant, they couldn't. Can't help but eat it.

Zhao Hanzhang sliced ​​one round, and the other deer leg was almost roasted. Zhao Hanzhang handed the knife to Zhao Rong and others and asked them to slice the meat and experience what "serving the people" means.

She called Zeng Yue, "Don't chop the remaining meat. Peel off the skin. Before leaving, give the meat to Wei Xian and the elder, and they will distribute it to the villagers fairly."

Zeng Yue agreed. "Girl, it's getting late. When should we return to the city?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Go back after eating."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the skins they had peeled off and asked, "Do you know how to tan the skins?"

Zeng Yue said sheepishly: "The leather tanned by Hsinchu is not good, but the leather tanned by Wenyang De Ni is good."

Wen Yangde was a personal guard of Zhao Hanzhang. He was round-faced and naive. He used to be called Wen Dalang, but he never had a famous name. He asked Zhao Hanzhang to give him to him after he followed Zhao Hanzhang.

There was only one requirement for his name, which was that he sounded like a particularly educated and virtuous person. Then Zhao Hanzhang looked at his round face and named him Yang De.

Although she thinks it sounds nice to be called Da Lang, there are not twenty but ten people in her personal guard who are called Da Lang. Looking at the entire Forbidden Army, when she is called Da Lang, at least hundreds of people respond. Even if they add their surname, there are also Eighty-nine.

Zhao Hanzhang called Wen Yangde and handed him some peeled skins, "Go and shout in the villagers, call a few young people, and teach them how to tan leather."

Wen Yangde was stunned for a moment and then immediately agreed and ran to find someone.

Zhao Hanzhang returned to the fire and drank broth and meat slices with the villagers while talking, "Wei Xian, young village elders like you are rare. You can be selected as the village elder, which shows your ability and ability." Everyone loves you and I hope you will live up to my trust and the expectations of the villagers and be a good village elder."

Wei Xian agreed with excitement and seriousness, patting his chest to express that he would be a good village elder and manage the village well.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly and taught him what he should accomplish as a good village elder. He also told him: "You should discuss more matters in the village with the elders in the village. They have more experience and are always more stable than me, a young man."

He added: "You can also ask more about the opinions of young people. They have fighting spirit. Nowadays, every day is different outside. The court often comes out with new policies and technologies. Young people are traveling more outside and are better informed."

Zhao Rong sat aside and thought to himself: Isn't it necessary to listen to everyone's opinions? Do you mean not to have your own way?

Wei Xian did not hear the hidden meaning, but kept it in mind and planned to act according to her instructions.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and everyone had a delicious lunch together.

This was the best meal the villagers had in a year. They had never had such a good meal during the New Year a few days ago, so it was also the happiest day for them.

When Zhao Hanzhang and the others were about to leave, the whole village was reluctant and wanted to send them ten miles away, but Zhao Hanzhang took one look at their feet and firmly refused.

She left the remaining raw meat to them and told Wei Xian and the old people to give it to each family according to the hair of each person. Then she gave three deer skins to Wei Xian and the two old people.

When Wei Xian received this grace, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He wished he could kneel on the ground immediately and express his desire to kill Zhao Hanzhang. So he took Zhao Hanzhang's advice very seriously. As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, he immediately summoned the whole village and divided the raw meat on the spot.

The distribution was very fair, no one got a finger more meat, and no one got a finger less.

Seeing that Wei Xian had finally become a director and was no longer as self-contained as before, focusing on his own family, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears. He held his granddaughter's hand tightly and said to her: "Girl is still awesome. When the family harvests new food this year, I will also I will send you to the city to study. After studying, you may be as smart and capable as the girl."

He vaguely knew that Zhao Hanzhang did this to let Wei Xian take care of them and take better control of the village, but when asked to tell him the reason, his mind was in confusion and he couldn't figure out the reason.

The old man concluded with his only knowledge that only reading could make up for this.

As long as my granddaughter studies, she will know the truth. If she knows it and can use it, then she is also a capable person.

The old man touched her head and said: "Vanilla, now girls can study and be officials. Although your father and brother are gone, you can definitely survive on your own as long as you are smart and diligent."

Vanilla nodded with tears in her eyes, held the old man's hand tightly, nodded and said: "Azu, I will support myself, and I will also support Azu!"

The old man smiled happily.

Zhao Hanzhang brought two deer back to the city. One deer was given to Zeng Yue and others to divide among themselves. The other deer was given to Tinghe, who asked her to find someone to skin it and then distribute it to each family.

"Two deer legs will be sent to the fifth uncle and the seventh uncle. Auntie and the princess will choose the best shanks and send them. You will choose the rest and send them to Mr. Ji and Mr. Ming."

Zhao Hanzhang handed her the rabbit he had been carrying and said, "We will eat rabbit meat tonight. When Ting Han comes back, he will ask him to come to the study to find me."

Listen to the load and respond.

Zhao Hanzhang went directly to the study, took out a piece of white paper and started writing.

It was her negligence. The management of the village is still based on the old system. She has not changed it. However, most of the villages are newly built. Many villagers are strangers to each other. Only a few are the original tribesmen who have gathered to form villages.

In such a situation, if management is not strict, various disputes can easily occur.

The manpower in rural areas is far greater than that in cities. If used properly, its production capacity far exceeds that in cities, and it can help the country escape from current poverty faster.

Ruling the country starts from small things, she was negligent before.
