The Han family is deeply rooted and flourishing, and its power in the DPRK is intertwined. The first emperor's mentor Han Qianming was an official in the court to a privy envoy, and now he is the current head of the Han family. And that Han Sheng is the most outstanding junior in the Han family, although he is not as amazing and brilliant as Luo Hong, but he can be regarded as a talented and rich man.

On the occasion of the palace test, the first emperor originally admired Luo Hong's strategy the most, but under the pressure of the family, he finally named Han Sheng as the champion of the golden branch.

Han Sheng was also nearly thirty years old when he was the champion, and the list at that time had already reached the year of the Mandate of Heaven, so Luo Hong, who was only nineteen years old and had not yet married a wife, naturally became a piece of fragrant bait.

It's just that those who caught their sons-in-law on the list underestimated Luo Hong's ambition, and those who intended to come to the door to marry all touched their noses without exception. A poor kid was so arrogant, there were not a few people who were dissatisfied with him at that time.

As soon as someone with a heart is operated like this, Luo Hong's release has become inevitable.

The first emperor also cherished his talents, and he didn't agree with Luo Hong's release. It's just that at that time, Master Han inserted a pole horizontally, and said to the first emperor that although Hualang was talented, he was too young in the end, and since ancient times, the sword blade was sharpened, and he was released to experience it, so as to see whether he could take on a big role.

The Manchu civil and military forces understood and unanimously seconded the proposal.

The recent rumors have spread all over the city, saying that Han Sheng, the champion of Jinke, is not as talented as Tanhualang Luo Hong, all because of the great strength of the Han family, this Han Sheng can dominate. The Han family has made a lot of efforts to deal with this rumor.

But if it's a rumor, who can tell?

When the first emperor heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he agreed.

So under the concerted operation of many opponents, Luo Hong was naturally sent to Suishui County, one of the most barren places in Dayan.

Suishui County has continuous natural disasters, bandits are rampant, and the people of Li can only sell their sons and daughters in the famine year, living a difficult life of grass and clothing.

However, the gentry of Suishui County also twisted into a rope, working together to deal with the Suishui County Ya, crying poor and crying together, playing horizontal together, and the successive Suishui County Commanders had no way to take them.

When Luo Hong first arrived in Suishui County, the Wu County Order handed over to him had already packed all the affairs, and when he came, he handed them over to him, without any nostalgia, and even personally prepared a reception banquet for him.

After three rounds of wine at the reception banquet, this Wu County Order even cried to him with the strength of wine.

Wu County Ling complained again and again that Suishui County was simply not a place for people to be treated, and now he finally waited for the next county order to come, Luo Hong really recreated him with kindness and saved him from fire and water, the more he said, the more outrageous it became.

Master Zhang on the side also touched his gray beard and sighed again and again.

And for the people, the new county magistrate is no different to them, whether they are clean or greedy.

What about greed? In this life of eating and sleeping in the open air, pawning wives and selling children, they have become so accustomed to numbness.

What about Qing? The fair and strict county magistrate has also served several terms, but no one can save this rotten Suishui County, this poor mountain and bad water is like a continuous rain, I don't know how many people's hearts have been extinguished.

Everyone thought that Luo Hong was no different from the previous county magistrates, including those tycoons and gentry who were well-dressed and well-fed. When Luo Hong took office, none of these people came to visit, and they didn't even have the intention of tempting.

Extremely arrogant.

In the face of all this, Luo Hong was not shocked or angry, and dealt with it indifferently, and then raised his hand and slapped everyone loudly.

The first thing Luo Hong did when he took office was to propose a monopoly on official grain, and clearly announced that the capable people in Suishui County would live there.

This is a profitable business!

Businessmen are the most profitable, and in the face of such a large piece of fat, of course, these giants are fighting for their heads.

Of course, the front built with interests must be dismantled by interests.

In this war without gunpowder, Luo Hong secretly added fuel to the fire, took the opportunity to pull out several of the most disobedient iron nails, and finally handed over the official grain franchise to the Qian family, a squire who surrendered to him.

The seemingly unbreakable alliance of giants is just like that.

But Luo Hong also understands that with only short-term benefits, these old fritters cannot completely obey him. In order to manage this devastated Suishui County, he must firmly control the entire Suishui County.

Luo Hong struck while the iron was hot and quickly made the next move.

Using the Qian family's local power, Luo Hong searched for information everywhere, and finally led people to kill Yang Sandao, the bandit leader who wanted to resist, on the spot in the largest flower building in Suishui County, and hung his head on the city gate for ten days.

Yang Sandao died, and the bandits who had no backbone became a plate of scattered sand, Luo Hong took this opportunity to almost kill this group of outlaws who could be called a disaster in Suishui County.

The people, who were persecuted by bandits on weekdays, realized that the newly appointed county magistrate was an unprecedented ruthless character, and it was a turning point for Suishui County to come back to life.

With this crackdown on bandits, Luo Hong pocketed the support of the people of the entire Suishui County, and there were wild vegetables and fruits sent by someone in front of the county yamen every day.

And Luo Hong listened to the Qingtian Lord who heard that voice, but there was no joy in his heart. The wild vegetables and fruits in front of the county yamen always reminded him how poor Suishui County is and how difficult the people's lives are.

When the grain was released, he stood on the official road surrounded by the officials, and the official road was crowded with people with yellow faces and thin muscles and ragged clothes.

These people should have lived a life of prosperity and happiness.

How ambitious he was when he first came to Suishui County, and how angry he is now. The spectacle of the people's misery was a constant reminder of how incompetent he was.

His thoughts were interrupted by the cry of a child on the side of the street. He looked up and saw a girl who looked like she was only three or four years old.

Luo Hong was shocked to realize that it was the anger around him that scared this child. He looked at the little girl's tearful eyes, which were like the eyes of a newborn beast, so clear that there was not a trace of impurity to be seen.

A woman in tattered clothes next to the girl kept kowtowing to Luo Hong and begging for mercy, saying that the child was timid and ignorant and collided with the nobleman, and asked him to spare his life.

Luo Hong waved away the servant and walked towards the little girl under the terrifying gaze of everyone. The child's mother didn't know why, and kowtowed even more.

Luo Hong stretched out his hand and wiped the girl's dirty little face, and her voice was as cold as a pool of cold water.

"Those days will come to an end. It won't be long. ”

This is said to the hungry people, but also to himself.

With a wave of his hand, the accompanying officials immediately distributed the food they brought.

"Who is this nobleman?"

"Blind your dog's eye! That's the prefectural magistrate! ”

"Is it the county magistrate who slashed Yang Sandao?"

"Otherwise, which other prefectural commander? This is our god in Suishui County! ”

"Lord ...... Sky"

Luo Hong got on the official sedan chair with an indifferent expression, as if he was not the person the people were talking about.

It was after this release of grain that Luo Hong made the greatest political achievement in Suishui County.

Luo Hong took people to visit the fields every day, and after some investigation, he found that although the harvest in Suishui County failed every year, the soil was not as barren as he imagined.

After asking some native farmers, Luo Hong learned that the reason why Suishui County failed every year was because Suishui County often suffered from droughts, and at the worst time, these farmers did not see rain for months.

Finding the root cause of the poor harvest, Luo Hong immediately set out to find a solution. He spent a period of time undressed, and finally found a solution after rummaging through various agricultural books.

Luo Hong decided to encourage farmers to grow cotton.

Cotton is heat-loving and drought-tolerant, with little water demand, and is not suitable for growing in a waterlogged environment. Moreover, although the soil in Suishui County is not fertile, it can never be called barren, so that it can also meet the nutrients for cotton growth.

Although Luo Hong's father Luo Zhenye is a showman, but the family is very poor, in order to hand over the shackles of his son's study, Luo Zhenye personally went to the field to work, Luo Hong's mother also does embroidery every day to supplement the family, Luo Hong sometimes helps his father do some work in the field.

The two didn't work hard for too long, and their son fell for Tanhua.

Therefore, Luo Hong is not ignorant of farm work. After the promulgation of the decree encouraging the cultivation of cotton, he personally went to the fields every day, ate and lived with the peasant households, and even moved the official duties of the county government to the borrowed peasant households, which tired the officials who ran at both ends.

Hard work always pays off. In the first autumn of Luo Hong's advocacy of cotton planting, Suishui County ushered in a long-lost harvest. The farmers were ecstatic, and the older ones were moved to tears.

Taking advantage of the joy of the harvest, Luo Hong issued a second decree.

The government encourages the cultivation of cotton, but the county government will give subsidies to all the people who participate in the land reclamation.

As soon as the decree came out, all the beggars in Suishui County ran to open up the wasteland.

The cotton produced in Suishui County was monopolized and purchased by the Qian family, the largest giant in Suishui County, and sold to other states and counties, and the Qian family made a lot of money.

After that, the Qian family completely surrendered to Luo Hong, and even sent his second son to Luo Hong as a housekeeper.

Three years after Luo Hong took office, Suishui County was like a furnace rebuilt, never closing the door at night, not leaving the road behind, and no longer seeing the previous appearance of people's livelihood withering.

The first emperor saw that Luo Hong had such a great talent, and he was even more happy, so he directly promoted Luo Hong to the prefect of Xinyang, and then transferred back to Beijing, promoted step by step, and envied others.

Others only envy him for his infinite scenery at this time, and no one knows that Luo Hong, who was the first commander of Suishui County, has been assassinated seventeen times.

Once Luo Hong almost died, it was Master Zhang next to him who blocked a sword for him. He never thought that at the moment of life and death, in the face of the thunderous sword of the bandit, the person who desperately saved him was the only Master Zhang on weekdays.

Master Zhang's death was like a thorn in Luo Hong's heart.

Luo Hong has been an official for many years, never flattering, servile, and servile, he has come all the way to today with his real talent and hard work and imperial respect.

What if he is a poor scholar? Those noble families with eyes above the top have to hold it in their hearts even if they don't like him.

In the end, such a comfortable life has passed for a long time, and today's Wei Tingjun's words made him angry.

In the past, Luo Hong, even if he heard words that were a hundred times more difficult to hear, he could be calm.

Born in sorrow, died in peace.
