A mayor is nothing, but this brings him one step closer to Qin Shihuang.

And with this position, many things can be carried out blatantly.

The first step is naturally to regard Qinghe Town as its own experimental development zone, and strive to build Qinghe Town into a preliminarily developed industrial town without violating Qin's laws.

Of course, this needs to be well conceived.

When the sun sets west, several horses carried Chen Xu, Uncle Ma, the pavilion leader and several soldiers in Xiaohe Village. Then Uncle Ma beat a broken gong and took Chen Xu as the Lidian in Qinghe Town. After the news of the story of promoting Lidian in Qinghe Town, the whole village was stunned. They opened their mouths and their eyes fell to the ground.

"Yeah~~ Brother is a Lidian!" Xing'er cheered first, and then the entire Xiaohe Village became boiling.

Lidian, that is the largest official in Qinghe Town. Many villagers, especially women, have been to the town until their farthest death, and have never seen Lidian in their lives.

The pavilion chief, who accompanied him, also announced the oral order of the county magistrate to exempt Xiaohe Village from all summer grain taxes today, but all men must go to the county town to accept the unified arrangements of the county magistrate and delegate them to the townships to guide the construction of threshers. This guidance is also regarded as a kind of corvee service, which can deduct autumn grain tax and den gust tax.

"Hohohohohohoho~"

As soon as the news came out, the whole village was filled with joy. Both adults and children, men and women were excited to make all kinds of primitive strange screams to express the most excited emotions in their hearts.

Although the tax grain exempted by each household is only five, six, seven or eight stones, for the villagers, it is a few months of food. With this grain, they will never endure hunger again this year.

And all of this was brought by this black and thin boy riding on the horse.

It was he who invented the threshing machine that brought good news about the tax exemption this time.

So a group of men rushed forward, dragging Chen Xu off the horse's back and throwing him up and then catching him, to express their gratitude to Chen Xu.

"Damn, damn!"

As Chen Xu flew up and down, his face was pale and his mouth kept screaming like ghosts and wolves.

What if these guys suddenly fail to catch them?

"Haha, Lord Lidian is extremely happy, his screams are so full of surprises!" Fan Kun ridden on the horse and laughed.

Because he knew the wise and keen, he got a threshing machine for the county magistrate, and was actually rewarded and promoted. Now he has become the assistant of the county magistrate Fang Kuan, assisting in handling public security and robbery in the county. Moreover, he was a retired soldier before, with a fourth-level military merit. He was able to become a captain in the county criminal police brigade. He was a success and achieved success. He had never thought about it in his life.

"What Lord Fan said is very good. From now on, we will rely on the guidance of the master to cultivate it!" The soldiers next to him flattered with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Don't worry, we will be colleagues in the future, and we will naturally take care of each other!"

Although Fan Kun was proud, he had served as a soldier and had been on the battlefield and was not proud. Most of these soldiers came back from the battlefield, with more or less one or two military merits in their capacity. The county magistrate Fang Kuan even had seven-level military merits to protect his body. He was regarded as a title and respected in the county town, and he also had real power in command of soldiers. It was different from ordinary soldiers with titles but no power. The county magistrate personally accepted his orders and was almost on par with the county magistrate. Just meet and whisper it.

Of course, it’s okay not to quit, it depends on your mood.

The villagers were so happy that they almost made Chen Xu’s overnight dinner. At the same time, they were so nervous that their souls almost left their bodies and traveled back.

But Chen Xu is unwilling to go back now.

Being able to be the mayor here is much awesome than being a miserable delivery guy in later generations.

Moreover, after spending time with this simple group of villagers, he gradually fell in love with this era.

Moreover, there are Chen Jiangshi and Xing'er, who depend on each other for life, and have the affection of blood thicker than water, which makes him absolutely unable to give up.

The most important thing is that he hasn't seen Qin Shihuang Ying Dadi yet.

He was eager to see this first emperor in Chinese history and this magnificent figure who had pioneered the glorious civilization of China for two thousand years in later generations. Is it as black-hearted and tyrannical as described in history books?

If he can help him conquer the earth, he can also eat all over the world, satisfying the urge to deliver food every day in later generations but only drool at the Australian lobsters on TV.

"Sir Lidian, our escort mission has been completed. Tomorrow you will lead the villagers who make the thresher to Qinghe Town. At that time, I will arrange for the ox cart to transport them to the county town and say goodbye!" Fan Kun and other villagers calmed down before clasping their fists.

"It's not too busy, it's still early now. I've been on the road for nearly two hours. Get some stuff to fill my hunger and then leave. Let's go to my house to rest first!"

Chen Xu felt relieved. Now that he was promoted to Lidian, he would not only be exempted from grain tax, but also have a tens of stones of official rank every year, which was close to 2,000 kilograms of grain in later generations, and the whole family could not finish it.

The villagers all dispersed excitedly and went home to prepare. Chen Xu also took Fan Kun and a few soldiers home to have a tea and rest. Chen Jiang and Xing'er quickly kneaded dumplings made of bread, shepherd's purse and pork.

"Lord Lidian, what is this? Why is it so fine and snow-white?" Fan Kun and several soldiers were shocked by the flour that Chen Jiang had poured out of the clay pot.

"Haha, this is flour ground with stone mills. I'll make a delicious food to satisfy everyone's hunger!"

"The snow-white and delicate thing is like green salt, and it looks very delicious. I'll bother you today!" Fan Kun was promoted because of Chen Xu, so he was very polite to Chen Xu. The most important thing is the county magistrate's love for Chen Xu, which forced him to respect him.

He became a Lidian at the age of fourteen. His future is limitless. Moreover, everyone is still from the same town, so maybe Chen Xu needs to take care of him in the future.

Under Chen Jiangshi and Xing'er's skillful care, dumplings were soon wrapped one by one, and they were neatly placed on the chopping board of the wooden table like a full crescent moon, which looked extremely pleasing to the eye. Then they boiled water and put it in the pot. In less than half an hour, a few bowls of steaming dumplings were placed in front of Fan Kun and a few soldiers.

"Everyone, I've been hungry for almost a whole day, please!" Chen Xu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.

"Thank you, Lord Lidian, I'm not polite!" Faced with this bowl of dumplings that I had never seen before, Fan Kun and several soldiers couldn't wait, picked up their chopsticks and started to eat them in big mouthfuls.

The result was naturally that several primitive people who had never seen food in later generations were shocked and fascinated. Apart from saying that they were delicious, they could only express it by actions. In just a few minutes, everyone ate a bowl of dumplings and even drank noodle soup.

"It can be called a peerless delicacy in the world, soft and smooth, refreshing and fragrant. Can you take the liberty to ask Lord Lidian how this flour is made?" The group of people were still reluctant to leave after eating it.

"Here, I just use this stone mill!" Chen Xu pointed to the stone mill under the pergola and said, "The ingredients are the wheat I just harvested. When I go to Qinghe Town, Fan Daren and you want to eat it, so you can also grind some flour and make it yourself. It's very simple!"
