Chen Ergou became a Lizheng as he wished - Chen Ergou was willing to share with the people in the same village the method of buying a widow to farm the land, and the people in the same village were naturally willing to recommend Chen Ergou to be this Lizheng.

As for those "village sages and gentry", they were basically placed in the city where the Yingzhou political envoy was located, and they naturally would not jump out to grab a positive position with Chen Ergou.

Then Chen Ergou ran to the county office of Zhoufang County again.

Then Ding Luozhi, the magistrate of Zhoufang County, had a headache.

"You are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you naturally can't be allowed to do such a thing as mining."

After figuring out Chen Ergou's intentions, Ding Xiaozhi persuaded bitterly: "How can it be so easy to dig silver mines?" Not to mention whether there is a risk of being buried in the mine, and even if there is not, how can you guarantee people's hearts? ”

"That's a silver mine, white silver, who doesn't like it? In exchange for this official, this official also likes it. ”

"You say, what should you do if someone thinks about putting a few ingots of silver into their house?"

Hearing what the county lord said, Chen Ergou suddenly called out: "My lord, it looks like winter is coming, the ground can't be turned, and the grain can't be planted, so you can't just let the big guy be idle, right?" ”

At this time, Ding Xiaozhi also came back to his senses, and the worry that was still written on his face just now disappeared, and Ding Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Ergou, this official knows that you have a good head, tell me, what do you think?" ”

Chen Ergou laughed and said, "The big man's eyes are like a torch, and the villain's little idea is naturally not hidden from the big man." ”

Ding Xiaozhi stroked his beard and received this sycophant, and his mood became a little better: "Say, what is your idea?" ”

Chen Ergou laughed again and said, "The villain thinks, since you can't plow the land and grow grain now, why don't you let the big guys take advantage of this time to repair the road from the village to the county?" ”

"The villain has seen it, our village is closer to the seaside, and it is convenient to fish or something, but the distance from the county seat to the beach is not so close."

"There are no rivers or lakes around here, and it is difficult for the lord to eat fresh fish."

"So the villain thought, build the road first, and when he can go to the sea to fish in the coming year, the villain will take the villagers to catch some fish, and the old man can also eat fresh."

Ding Xiaozhi swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and after a while, he suddenly pointed at Chen Ergou and laughed.

"You, you, you, you're more fine than a monkey!"

"Doing this is right, but I have wronged you!"

Pointing at Chen Ergou and laughing a few words, Ding Xiaozhi simply smiled and asked people to take the map of Zhoufang County, pointed to a few black lines on the map and said, "Did you see it?" These lines represent the road. ”

"According to the planning document issued by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, a large wharf will be built here, and the kind that can dock Mulan boats is required. You can't do this, you have to send a master craftsman from the Ministry of Industry to guide you. ”

"But these roads, from this wharf to the county seat, will pass through more than a dozen villages, including yours. You can do it. ”

"So, even if you don't come to the official, the official will let people come to you."

"Let's go back. Gather the young people in your village, and when the master of the Ministry of Engineering comes, and then pick a good day and an auspicious day, we will start construction. ”

"Also, tell the young people in your village not to eat when they go to work in the morning, because there is food on the construction site. Three meals a day, the kind with meat. ”

"Don't leave so early when you get off work, see how much meat is left in the kitchen, and if there is more, you can stay at home and get some."

"After all, it is the household department that pays for it, and there is a chance to get cheap, but don't dare to let it go."

Chen Ergou was suddenly overjoyed, and bowed to Ding Luozhi: "Thank you, master!" The villain will go back and inform the young man in the village! ”

Ding Xiaozhi nodded, and waited for Chen Ergou to get out of the way before he completely collapsed in the chair.

Now this official is really getting more and more difficult to be, and he has to teach the people to take advantage of the court.

I don't know if I will be targeted by those eagle dogs of the Imperial City Division......

……

Ding knew that this magistrate had a headache in Yingzhou, and Zhao Huan, the emperor, also had a headache in Bianjing.

On the ninth day of the 11th month of the fifth year of Jingkang, although it was cold at this time, there was still a long distance from the word snow. But this year, I don't know what's going on, a sudden blizzard continued for several days, and even directly photographed the entire Bianjing City into the snowdrifts.

Zhao Huan, the emperor, is better, after all, no matter how hard he is, he can't be bitter about the emperor, no matter how poor he is, he can't be poor in the harem, the palace has enough materials and manpower, and the eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping can quickly clean up the snow.

But the palace has been a very special existence since ancient times, and the special case of the palace cannot be regarded as a regular routine - if you zoom in to the entire Bianjing City, then you can clearly see the difference between the inside of the palace and the outside of the palace.

The goose-feathered snow flakes fell to cover the sky and the sun, and the people had just cleared the snow from the yard with their front feet, and the heavy snow on their back feet was once again over the surface of their feet. And the layers of snow on the streets were already three or four feet thick.

As we all know, Bianjing is not only the political center of the Great Song Dynasty, but also a highly commercialized giant city, and the food it produces is not very much, compared to the daily consumption of the entire Bianjing City, that little output is almost negligible, and it is basically mainly imported from other places.

This also means that people will not have too much food in their homes. And without food, people's hearts will be unstable.

There are even rumors that Zhao Huan's act of killing his brother's prisoner father finally angered God.

As for why the matter in the first year of Jingkang had to wait until the fifth year of Jingkang to punish the official family, it may be because there is one day in the sky, one year underground, and the gods have to go through a process when it snows or something, so it is normal to delay for a few days - put it in the world, but isn't it a few years past.

Where did this kind of bullshit rumor come from, Zhao Huan doesn't care, anyway, there are only so many people who can spread this kind of rumor, and they can guess it with their butts. Zhao Huan cares about how to keep the people alive.

As long as the people will not freeze to death and starve to death by the snow disaster, the so-called heavenly punishment is.

Just like Zhao Huan said to Empress Dowager Meng, the landlord Lao Cai still knows that he feels sorry for his stupid son - the reason why there is a snow disaster now is that God thinks that someone is harming the Great Song Dynasty, so he sent a snow disaster to remind himself of this son of heaven.
