Chapter 15 Rewards

Wu Ji was so thin, skinny and bone-filled, with only a few taels of flesh on his body. Just like him, he was still a scholar? Or a capable man who hunted such a giant bear? How could he not look like it? Several servants looked incredible.

"The real thing is real, it's like a fake one!" Wu Ji said completely inconsistent with his physical condition. It was firm and decisive, making people dare not doubt it. He thrust his chest and raised his head, which made him feel a little more confident.

"I've seen the scholar Wu!" Several servants woke up and had to believe it, so they hurriedly greeted Wu Ji. Wu Ji was a scholar, although he was a white scholar and had no official position, but his identity and status were there, and several servants dared not lose their courtesy.

"Forgive!" Wu Ji took up the airs of a scholar, took a big shot, and asked, "Go and report it to you, we want to see Lord Zheng."

"Haha!" A servant smiled kindly and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zheng is discussing with the hunters that he is going to your Wujiazhuang to hunt bears. You are here at the right time. There is no need to report it, just follow me."

Wu Qing asked Ding Zhuang to lift the bear, but Wu Ji could not carry it on his back again this time. Wu Qing personally supported him, his head high and his chest was raised, as if he was close to Wu Ji, which was his great glory.

Under the leadership of the officers, Wu Ji and his team came to the county government office, and several men and women put the bear down.

An official came out of the county government office. He was about thirty years old, with bright eyes and very energetic. He wore a black hat and two hat wings followed him, constantly shaking. His green official robe was quite majestic.

"I've seen Lord Zheng!" Wu Qing hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and saluted the official.

"So it's Mr. Wu!" The official was the magistrate of County Zheng. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up. He waved his sleeves and dusted Wu Qing's body, which was very kind.

Wu Qing looked glorious, excited and blushed. In his eyes, County Magistrate Zheng was a high-ranking official, and it was a great honor to be able to help him up, let alone dust him with his own hands.

"This official has no airs and is friendly. In modern terms, he belongs to the people-friendly school." Wu Ji saw it and concluded that the Zheng County Magistrate. Wu Ji highly praised his people-friendly style and greatly increased his favorability to the Zheng County Magistrate.

He personally dusted a village old man. Such officials were rare in the Song Dynasty, not to mention that they were rare in the modern era where people were valued.

"Wu Ji has met Lord Zheng." Wu Ji stepped forward and bowed with fists. He was a scholar and did not have to kneel down and bow down. Besides, Wu Ji would not be able to do such a big gift.

"Wu Xiucai? Are you Wu Xiucai?" Zheng County Magistrate looked at Wu Ji with bright eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "It's rumored that you are extremely weak, unexpectedly, even weaker than I thought!"

This Wu Xiucai's poor body is the same as his scholar's name, and is well-known far and wide. Wu Ji was speechless: "I'm sorry for it."

"Yes!" County Magistrate Zheng looked at Wu Ji, nodded, and said in praise: "You have a poor body bone. As long as you repair it well, it's not difficult. The day before yesterday, Mr. Wu came to the county government and said that it was not a matter of soldiers. I guess you taught me? You are good at learning! You are good at speaking, eloquent, and eloquent."

"Mr. Zheng, do you know?" Wu Qing gave this glory to himself very much. After returning, he felt a little sad and gave Wu Ji half a bowl of mutton oil. When he thought of the praise from County Magistrate Zheng at that time, it was as floating in the clouds, floating, and he didn't expect it. In the end, County Magistrate Zheng had already understood the cause and effect.

"Haha! Uncle Wu is not a scholar, so how can he have such a clever insight? It is impossible except for the training of scholars in Wujiazhuang." Zheng County Magistrate explained the important point in one sentence.

"This, this..." Wu Qing had a pair of old faces red, feeling embarrassed, and couldn't speak in awkward manner.

"Uncle San, don't take it to heart." Wu Ji comforted Wu Qing and changed the topic: "Mr. Zheng, this bear is a disaster for our Wujiazhuang. Now, it has been removed for me. Please verify it."

"Oh! Did you remove it?" County Magistrate Zheng was a little disbelief. He looked at Wu Ji and then looked at the bear. One big and one small, which was very disproportionate. Wu Ji's body was so weak that he could remove such a big bear?

The Zheng County Magistrate followed several people, including servants and honest farmers. The rough skin and a graceful face should be the hunter invited by Zheng County Magistrate.

An older hunter quickly stepped forward and looked at the bear corpse, and couldn't help but suck in the air: "Hiss! Hiss!"

"Uncle Wu, why are you surprised?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zheng County Magistrate's eyes.

"Mr. Zheng, look at the injury. It is not a knife wound, not a gunshot wound, not an arrow wound, yes... It is the wrath of God. Only by punishing this bear can you be so injured!" The hunter named Wu stuttered for a long time before he reached the point.

"Oh!" The words of Zheng County Magistrate Zheng aroused his interest. Following the point of the hunter surnamed Wu, he saw that the bear's jaw was gone and the boss was wounded. Such injuries were unprecedented for the ancients. Zheng County Magistrate opened his mouth wide and squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "It's really the wrath of the gods!"

In their imagination, if the bear hadn't angered God and punished him, how could he have such injuries?

"Mr. Zheng, don't be surprised. This was caused by my bear hunting." Wu Ji knew that they didn't know what gunpowder was and what the explosion was, so he had to explain it to him.

"What you caused? It's impossible! How capable is this?" County Magistrate Zheng still disbelief and shook his head slowly.

Wu Ji knew that he would not explain it to him clearly, so he had to tell him one by one. As for the key points, such as gunpowder, he would not say anything, but said it in one word. Wu Ji spoke clearly and was well organized. When he said it one by one, the county magistrate Zheng heard it and said, "Grade of skill! Crade of skill! There is such a wonderful way in the world!"

What Wu Ji said is far beyond their imagination and is also full of reality, which makes people feel real at first glance. If there is no such thing, it will not be compiled even if it is not possible.

"Okay! Once this bear is removed, Wujiazhuang will be in full swing." County Magistrate Zheng was not a person who was dragging his mouth, so he immediately fulfilled his promise: "Wu Xiucai, 50,000 yuan, this is for you. Do you want money or silver tattoos?"

This is a choice for Wu Ji, for convenience. Fifty thousand coins are 50,000 coins, each coin of three to four grams. Fifty thousand coins are nearly two hundred kilograms, which is enough to crush Wu Ji's small body. Wu Ji chose to tattoo silver without thinking.

The advantage of silver pattern is that it is light and easy to carry. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to use. In modern terms, coins are change, one piece at a time, which is easy to use. Silver pattern is a whole money, and one or two pieces is a thousand coins, which is a problem when used.

Wu Ji is for the convenience of carrying, and as for use, that is the future.

He asked the chief clerk to get the silver, and the magistrate Zheng personally handed it to Wu Ji. Wu Ji took it, and it was heavy and a metallic texture, which made people feel particularly comfortable.

Looking at the silver in his hand, Wu Ji's eyes shone. With this silver, Wu Ji's life will improve and his body will get better. More importantly, Wu Ji has the capital to open an arms factory.

A glimpse of the whole leopard is known. Wu Ji knew from the trauma of Guixin City that wars often occur in the north, and that was his stage. When the arms factory was opened in the north, he fell into the pile of money, and there was no problem with mountains of gold and silver.

Feeling the heaviness of the money in his hand, Wu Ji had to be excited even though he had a good attitude and was excited for a bright future!

Everything is ready, I just need to go to Xiongzhou to open an arms factory!

County Magistrate Zheng thought Wu Ji had never seen so much silver. He smiled and said, "Wu Xiucai, this bear is rare and rare. If this bear skin is intact, it can be sold for forty or fifty taels of silver. Unfortunately, although your method of hunting bears is clever, it is to destroy the bear skin. I will buy it for twenty-five taels of silver. Are you willing to sell it?"

"Ah! The bear or mine?" Wu Ji originally thought that after he received the bounty, the bear would return to the government.

"Haha! That's certain!" County Magistrate Zheng nodded and said, "The bear gall should be quite good. I will pay another five taels of silver to buy it. As for bear meat, what you lack in your mountain village is meat, so let's share it."

"What a good official!" Wu Ji exclaimed in his heart.

If the magistrate of Zheng was greedy, he could have used the reason to pay the bounty to make the bear greedy, which would be dozens of taels of silver. He did not do this, but paid for it, which was definitely a good official. Moreover, the price he gave was very fair.

"Okay!" Wu Ji agreed happily.

"This is thirty taels of silver, you can collect it." The magistrate of Zheng asked someone to get the silver and hand it over to Wu Ji.

Wu Ji took it and handed it to Wu Qing beside him, saying, "Uncle San, you can share this money with the people in the village."

"Ji'er, this is not possible! No! Ji'er, this bear was hunted by you, and the money must belong to you!" Wu Qing refused.

"Uncle San, this bear is harmful to the village. Wu Qiang killed him. The people in the village were frightened a lot. The money is different, and there is not much left after the distribution. For me, this bounty is enough." Wu Ji hurriedly explained.

The magistrate Zheng's eyes shone brightly, staring at Wu Ji, thinking about something, and admired him very much: "Uncle Wu, Wu Xiucai has this intention, so don't refuse. Wu Xiucai, there is a lack of a chief clerk in the county government. The chief clerk manages the amount of money and grain, and he needs someone like you who is not greedy. Do you want to be the chief clerk?"
