Shui Zheran took out the eggs again and said, "Take them and put them away. I can't take so many today. I'll bring you sauerkraut and duck eggs next time."

Wei Chenglin took the basket speechlessly and joked: "I don't think you are like my brother, like my father."

"Oh, I don't dare take it. Let's talk about something good." Shui Zheran asked.

Wei Chenglin chuckled and said, "I'll go to the county government later and tell you that because of the things done in the village, the master has been praised by the government. After all, the things here are also related to the prefect's political performance."

"Well, so you are going to the government office to receive the award?" Shui Zheran didn't think this would bring him any good things.

Wei Chenglin nodded, "That's right." He went into the house and put the eggs before coming out. He pulled Shui Zheran's arm and said excitedly: "Let's go to the county government office."

Shui Zheran nodded and put the backpack on his back.

The two came to the county government office, and the county magistrate looked at him with a red face. Although his eyes were full of joy, they were also full of calculations.

He chuckled and said, "Shui Zheran, the people in your village are good, and you and your wife are also good. Although I have made a contribution this time, I cannot report it truthfully for fear of causing panic."

"So...the reward from above cannot be implemented on you, but don't worry, I will reward you."

Shui Zheran had expected it. He took out two chickens and put them on the ground with a smile, "I know that the master will not treat me badly. Everything is at your disposal."

The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction. Who doesn't like obedient and capable people, especially... His eyes glanced at the two big fat chickens.

Wei Chenglin said: "Master, it's going to snow soon. Can you write a guide for his family to go to Fucheng to buy some cotton cloth?"

"That's no problem. Although they said they couldn't leave the county when they came, they can be given special rewards for their great contribution, but..." The county magistrate paused.

Shui Zheran knew what he was thinking as soon as he rolled his eyes, and immediately said with joy on his face: "Can we really go? Thank you so much, sir. With this road, people don't need to ask for anything."

The county magistrate's brows suddenly widened, and his small eyes swept over Shui Zheran. He was worthy of being born in the Hou Mansion, and he was on the road.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll write it now. It will be a long-term one. You can go once a month, but before you go, you must come to the Yamen to register your name in the register. If you can't bring it back, you will have to sit together."

"No problem, the common people promise to bring back as many as they take out. If any common people run away, they will break their legs." Shui Zheran immediately patted his chest and assured.

"That's it." The county magistrate picked up a red-covered document from his desk, opened it and stamped it.

Shui Zheran, "..." You are all ready. If I show dissatisfaction even a little bit, you won't even stamp it, right?

Forget it, if the people don't fight with the officials, that's all you can do.

On the surface, he happily accepted the document and then left.

The county magistrate looked at Wei Chenglin with a half-smile on his face, "This brother of yours is a talent, make good use of it. If I can get promoted this time, I will take you with me."

Wei Chenglin hesitated. Although he was heading for higher ground, he felt in his heart that he could do great things and make a lot of money by staying with Shui Zheran.

He immediately showed a frown on his face and sighed, "My lord, I will definitely be promoted, but I honestly don't want to leave here."

"Why?" The county magistrate's eyes widened. Is there anyone who is unwilling to be promoted?

Wei Chenglin said: "Master, the world is in chaos now. It's a good thing to be promoted, but who knows whether the place you go to is a mess?"

"If we encounter mobs or deserters, then my subordinates will die. What will happen to their wives and children?"

He paused and continued: "Although this place is small, we have no worries about food and clothing and are still peaceful. Now that Shui Zheran is a little more filial from time to time, we can still eat meat and drink wine. How good it is."

The county magistrate frowned and sat down on the chair. Although he had no skills, he was not stupid, so he listened to all these words.

Wei Chenglin thought it was funny and continued: "Sir, I feel that no matter how big the official is, he can't be bigger than the one above me, so I want to save more money. If things go wrong in the future, I will become a villager with Shui Zheran to ensure a family."

As long as you have enough food and clothing, you will be fine."

The county magistrate nodded slowly, but his face was full of reluctance.

Wei Chenglin continued: "Master, I think there must be a lot of people giving money to get the chance to get promoted. Why don't we save the money? Maybe the superiors will give you more rewards if they see that you don't fight for it."

"Instead of emptying the family's wealth, it is better to make the family's wealth richer."

The county magistrate shuddered. These words spoke to his heart. It really hurt him to ask him to take out money. How great would it be if he gave up this opportunity and not only didn't have to pay but he could also make money.

Besides, this small county town of mine is easy to manage, and if you have people who are respectful and don't lack meat, if you have more money, you might get a big one in the future and you might be able to become the prefect.

"Okay, I understand, but you still have to come with me. My life depends on your protection." The county magistrate nodded.

Wei Chenglin chuckled, "Of course, I can live a good life with you as my subordinate, right?"

"Go away." The county magistrate laughed and cursed.

"I have the order!" Wei Chenglin ran away quickly.

At this moment, Shui Zheran certainly didn't know what they were thinking. After leaving the county government office, he went to look around at various shops. There was nothing good. The county town was too poor. In fact, the surrounding villages were poor and had little purchasing power.

In the end, he only bought some yellow straw paper and went back, because the toilet paper in the toilet had long been used up and he could only use it. He couldn't just use tree leaves and sticks like the villagers, right?

After returning home, Shui Zheran took out the road guide and slapped it on the table, "Take the money and let's go shopping tomorrow."

Su Qin picked up the road guide and looked at it, "Ten people, three of us, who should the rest choose?"

Shui Zheran seemed to have never thought of taking anyone with him. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Can't we just go?"

Su Qin chuckled and said, "Young men are just careless. There are many people in the village who are short of clothes and cloth, so they must also want to buy some."

"I just bought it for them." Shui Zheran said with a careless smile.

Su Qin's eyes widened, "Do you know what the price of cotton is in Fucheng? Even if you buy it with the cheapest price, they will think you are eating the difference."

"Ah, this..." Shui Zheran sat down slowly, his original joy turning into solemnity, what he said was so right.

Shui Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let's draw lots."

Su Qin shook his head again, "People in the village are not of the same mind. We are afraid that someone will run away on purpose and we will be the ones sitting together."
