I have a book of luck from

“The land reclamation order issued by the county, our Zhou family must resolutely participate.”

“There is no tax to pay taxes for ten years of land clearing, and we can also accept displaced people to clear the land, and set up estates to collect them as tenant farmers when the fields are opened.”

Looking at Zhou Bai alone asking and answering himself, the discussion in the group hall became a hall of words, and the high-level people looked at each other, not daring to oppose the agricultural policy that the new patriarch focused on.

After all, as a family, it is always right to accumulate some food.

The first strategy passed, and the remaining layout adjustment of the commercial industry was not able to bear the pressure of Zhou Bai.

The main thing is that he really knows the family very well, and after some analysis, even the clan elder can only nod in favor.

Of course, there are also a few young deacons who have the courage to express their views, such as Zhou Qi, who was just a middle school student this year and came from a branch lineage.

He wanted to sharpen for a few years and then go to the show talent test, and he couldn’t just study behind closed doors, so he first became a deacon.

Zhou Qi put forward his ideas based on his experience of attending the county examination in the county town, and he found that many families in the county town repaired their houses, and even opened manors outside without suitable clay materials, and often needed to spend a lot of money to buy glutinous rice milk and egg white blending.

And the biggest specialty of their red mud village is red mud, although this red mud is not as sticky as glutinous rice pulp, but it is much higher quality than ordinary clay.

Therefore, Zhou Qi suggested adding a new trade route to the county seat to sell red mud.

Zhou Bai praised this very much, because although what he said was a little immature, it did have merit.

Therefore, Zhou Qi was immediately rewarded with five taels of silver, and was appointed as the organizer and implementer of the red clay trade road, the higher the sales efficiency, the higher the salary.

All the clansmen deeply realized that Zhou Bai was practicing the rules set by the Qunshi Hall, and the capable were superior and the mediocre were lowered. Regardless of the lineage, as

long as you contribute, you will be valued by the patriarch and have the opportunity to display your talents.

Due to Zhou Bai’s style, for a while, many children in the clan actually wanted to join the inner house. There is more

abundant and a more complete and fair reward and punishment mechanism.

It’s just that the shelf in the inner mansion is only so big at present, Zhou Bai doesn’t need and can’t afford too many people, so he can only raise the threshold, and then let Chen Zhongbang record the right people.

Once the inner government expands later, there will be enough officials immediately.

With the end of this ancestor worship, the news of Zhou Bai’s knighthood was also known to the large and small families of Pingcang County.

No matter whether the relationship was good or bad, they all sent the gift of He Jue, and even the county Hao Zhao family sent people to maintain superficial kung fu.

In fact, Zhou Bai was very curious, why was the Zhao family okay, didn’t Hu Yanhe tell the Son of Heaven that the Zhao family bought out the bitter pass guard?

On the day of the knighthood, the Kukou Pass was then taken down by Wang Xiu and sent to the Jingshi division.

There were also a group of military generals who had defensive loopholes in Cangbei County, all of whom were reprimanded, and they could not escape from demotion and dismissal of officials.

However, the Zhao family did not have a single matter, and what kind of interest exchange was involved, Zhou Bai did not know.

I only vaguely heard that in the holy decree read by Wang Xiu, it only said that the bitter mouth would collude with the golden people, and did not mention the names of other families. Zhao

Liangji, as the sister-in-law of the Zhao family’s generation, does not deal with him, and Zhou Bai naturally wants to serve snacks.

Just at this time, Zhou Bai received an invitation from the county seat, it turned out that it had not rained for a long time recently, and Ji Hongzhe was ready to invite the famous people and talents of the county to hold a ceremony to worship the gods and ask for rain.

It is not a sacrifice to the Heavenly Court, but a worship to the local parent god, the city god of Pingcang County. There is no

way, there is no big river near Pingcang County, and there is no dragon king to ask for, so I can only turn to the gods who have this position.

In addition to guarding the city, protecting the country and security, and ruling the souls of the dead, the City God also happens to have the priesthood of reconciling the wind and rain.

In the past, when the sectarian forces of the Daomen dominated the mundane, they also established a rule: “There is no special sacrifice in the City God Temple, but the flood and drought and the epidemic must be prayed for, and the tribute and the fasting must be announced; The temple that was built so that God could have something to rely on. So the county

officials remembered their Pingcang County City God, who has always had a reputation and is a promising god in the hearts of the people of the county, and the incense of the City God Temple cannot be described as prosperous.

It happened that after Zhou Bai was knighted, he needed to see the big and small officials of the county, and at the same time heard the news of the Zhao family from Ji Hongzhe, so he accepted this invitation.

Worship to the gods is a sacred and important event, especially the official festival, which often consumes part of the luck of the local legal network.

And in order to ensure that each formal sacrifice can be successful and not damage the face of the imperial court, officials who understand the internal affairs will often be cautious in asking for sacrifices, and will not trouble the gods if they have no choice.

They accept sacrifices with incense, but if they consume too much, they often gain more than they lose.

Therefore, please post that the date is late April, and the invited people can meet before April 20.

The officials and masters of Pingcang County still want to wait for the day, if it rains in this half month, there is no need to consume county qi to worship the gods.

In April, in addition to dealing with clan affairs and internal affairs, Zhou Bai studied and trained troops.

Read, read the Five Emperors Taoist Sutra.

The Eastern Green Emperor, the Southern Red Emperor, the Central Yellow Emperor, the Western White Emperor, the Northern Black Emperor, and each Heavenly Emperor have a corresponding general program after teaching the Dharma.

These five general scriptures are the scriptures of the heavenly court, but in order to prevent ignorant villagers from studying indiscriminately and hurting their bodies, the humane imperial court is also afraid that children will read the foundation in advance, so they only allow people with meritorious names to study them. The

test is the general outline of the five emperors, and every verse in it is possible to get it, of course, most of them do not have standard answers, and the score only depends on your level of understanding.

The general program rules all the laws of the world, and every time he reads through it, he has a new understanding, and although Zhou Bai has already memorized it backwards, it is not a waste of time.

In addition to the Taoist scriptures, Zhou Bai read the “Essentials of Jing Wu”, and he wanted to read it thoroughly, and then teach it to the officers inside the guarding team.

Especially Zhou Yuan, this kid is a little smart, often able to draw inferences, if he can’t answer when asked, it should damage his image as a lord.

Now Zhou Bai has two armed forces in his hands, one clan soldier and one guard soldier.

The clan soldiers are relatively loose inside and outside, belonging to the nature of family members, and there are only more than 100 people who have left production.

In addition to guarding the home and nursing home, they also have to take on the escort of caravans and patrol various estates.

In this way, there were obviously not enough people, so when Zhou Bai established the Zhuang Protection Team in the name of protecting the Zhuang, no clansmen objected, and other families and even the official government did not have much doubt.

After all, it is the inner government that pays for it, and it can also make those frizzy half-sized sons in the clan settle down. The

guard team is currently stationed in Zhou Bai’s estate, practicing militarized management, opening three meals, and practicing every day. a

group of five, including a commander; Two troops and one shi, and another chief of the shi; Five for one team, and one team leader and deputy team leader; The two teams are one, Zhou Yuan is the deputy head, and Zhou Bai leads the capital.

Of course, these military systems are called internally for the time being, and externally they are ordinary one team and two teams.

In the case of mastering the Taoist Priest Group, although the imperial court has enough confidence to suppress the ministers, it will not let you go too far. When the army

gathers military strength, it can confront the supernatural people, and in this world, which one realm and two realms dare to attack the military formation of the horse cavalry army.
