    ?

    Du Qi smiled, and said: "Don't worry, old man, I won't leave for the time being. And even if I want to leave the mountain village, I will help you solve the carriage problem before leaving. So tonight, I can only stay overnight with you  At home. I reckon that Zhang Feng will definitely bring someone here tonight."

    Zhang Feng, Du Qi already knew about it just now.

    Therefore, they are called by their first names.

    Wang Gan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The county magistrate's kindness to save lives is something I will never forget. If there is no county magistrate's kindness, our Wang family may really be taken down. You stay here, little  The old man can't ask for it."

    Du Qidao: "In the territory of the Xia Kingdom, the world is bright and clear, so Zhang Feng will not overshadow it. Elderly, although there are moths like Zhang Feng in Gaochang County, in general, Gaochang County is still good, so you don't have to worry about it."

    Wang Gan also nodded and said: "After King Xia came to the Western Regions, he was exempted from agricultural tax and corvee. Right now our life is indeed better than before. It's just that King Xia is benevolent, but King Xia is aloof and takes care of everything every day.  There are so many people! Alas, the officials here are really disgusting."

    Du Qi smiled, but didn't answer.

    Wang Gan changed the subject and asked, "Magistrate Du, have you ever eaten?"

    "Not yet!"

    Du Qi said: "We have been on our way and occasionally stopped along the way to check the situation, so we were delayed for some time and haven't eaten yet."

    Wang Gan immediately said: "It happens that our family didn't eat, why don't the county magistrate come with us. The family is full of simple food, so please ask the county magistrate to make up for it."

    Du Qi said with a smile: "It's better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you, old man."

    Wang Gan arranged it immediately, and the daughters-in-law of the eldest, second, and third daughters of the family entered with their meals.

    It is meat-eating.

    And they are all big pieces of meat.

    Wang Gan's family is rich. After all, the carriage makes money every day, so the food is excellent. Moreover, Wang Gan himself is not a big fan of money. If he has money, he is very generous in eating.  Wang Gan greeted Du Qi and his party for dinner, while the women went to the backyard for dinner.  After the meal, Wang Gan asked someone to prepare tea again.

    Rinse your mouth, then digest.

    Du Qi looked at Wang Gan, and said, "Old man, apart from the troubles brought by Zhang Feng, what other problems are there in the operation of the carriage? You can bring it up, and I will solve them one by one. Now come down to inspect the four directions,  I just want to understand the local situation and see what's going on."

    Wang Gan thought for a while and said: "County magistrate, the current policy is quite good, and the government has repaired the road, so it is easy to do things. There is no problem with the general direction. If there is a problem, there is a little problem."

    Du Qi said: "What's the problem?"

    Wang Gan said seriously: "The problem now is whether this road is good or not, and it connects many places. But at the same time, there are some troubles. When a road passes through a certain village, the villagers in the village block the road and ask for money. If they don't give  Money is not allowed to pass through. Because of this matter, we had conflicts with many people, and finally reached an agreement by giving a certain amount of money every month to ensure that the other party would not block the way.¡±

    Du Qi was surprised and said: "Such a person, isn't he a road tyrant? However, he didn't hear any news, and the government didn't know about it at all! Many businessmen who come and go to Gaochang have never encountered any problems."

    Wang Gan smiled helplessly, and said: "County magistrate, you don't know. The road tyrants in each village are habitual offenders, and they are extremely shrewd. The people they choose to kill are not big businessmen who come and go to Gaochang, or even ordinary people.  Businessmen and they will not take action either. What they are targeting are some hawkers and local people."

    After a pause, Wang Gan continued: "Furthermore, the money collected is not much. Who would file a complaint for such a petty trouble? What if after filing a complaint, he would involve himself in it, and he would be retaliated afterwards.  But it's not good."

    Wang Yi echoed: "County magistrate, you don't know, these road thugs are all watching people order food. They will not provoke powerful people, that is, some peddlers who are alone, they dare to bully."

    Du Qidao: "Then how many road tyrants like this are there in Gaochang?"

    Wang Gan said: "County magistrate, it is difficult to count. At least at the moment, it is impossible to count, because it is everywhere. Today's roads extend in all directions, and there are only two road tyrants involved in our carriage. One is another  Going to the east of Kaoshan Village, there is a gang of road thugs in Mazi Village, about six miles away, and another gang of road thugs in Xituwan, ten miles away.¡±

    "There are dozens of Roadhogs in each of these two places. They have knives and they are very powerful. If youEven if the money is given, they will not make a move. Anyway, they follow the rules. If they don't give money, they will easily suffer.  "

    Wang Gan said: "Of course, they are actually just threatening. They won't kill people, at most they will injure them. So in this regard, there is also a three-point leeway."

    Du Qi nodded.

    He raised his head and looked down at Shangguanyi, with a solemn look in his eyes.

    If you don't come out, you don't know. You only know the local situation when you come out.  Especially for this kind of thing, if he didn't sink down to understand the local situation, he would never know that there would be a road hog on the road.

    Because you lead a large group of people over there, Roadhog won't come out at all.

    Du Qi said solemnly: "Don't worry, old man, I will deal with these matters one by one. In Gaochang County, the world is clean and bright, and there is no room for people to commit crimes, let alone robbery."

    Wang Gan was delighted when he heard Du Qi's words. He said, "The county magistrate still has to be careful. They say that dogs will jump over the wall if they are in a hurry. Once they are in a hurry, they will easily hurt you."

    Du Qi nodded, but changed the topic, and talked about the harvest and family life.

    Finally, the issue of having children was brought up.

    Du Qi said: "Old man, the government is implementing a new policy to encourage more children. There are various rewards for having more children. What do you think?"

    Wang Gan was a little surprised when he heard it, and said: "The county magistrate, the higher-ups are indeed promoting that it is good to have more children, and they all encourage having children. So the three daughter-in-laws in our family, no, two of them are pregnant again, and all of them are pregnant.  The third child. It¡¯s just a new pregnancy, so I can¡¯t tell whether it¡¯s a boy or a girl for the time being. But what¡¯s the reward for this? I haven¡¯t heard that there is a reward!¡±

    Du Qi raised his brows, feeling a little surprised.

    The reward is gone.

    Du Qiming clearly remembered that there were rewards, and the final strategy was that once the third child was born, the government would reward a lamb. For ordinary people, this is also a good reward.

    If a fourth child is born, the government will reward a farming ox, which is the greatest reward.  Up to the fifth child, there are not only lambs and piglets, but also financial rewards, all in all very rich.

    In order to increase the population this time, Du Qi paid a big price.  That's exactly the case, Du Qicai specially arranged for Du Gou to be responsible for this matter, so as to ensure the progress of the matter, but he didn't expect that the reward was gone.

    Du Qi said: "Old man, is it true that there is no reward?"

    "Really not!"

    Wang Gan shook his head, and said: "The little old man also wants to travel around and know the news around him. I haven't heard that people from far and wide villages will be rewarded by the government for having more children."

    Du Qi said: "I know about this matter, old man, let me tell you, the government has given rewards, and there are specific terms. I will deal with it if it hasn't been announced yet. Don't worry, your daughter-in-law has given birth to a child."  In the end, the government will definitely reward you. Both men and women will have rewards."

    Wang Gan also became excited after hearing this.

    This is a surprise.

    Unexpectedly, there is such an award.

    Du Qi and Wang Gan continued to chat, and time passed without realizing it. In a blink of an eye, the oil lamp was lit in the room, and the moon was already in the sky outside.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

    Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
