It is a joke to reward farmers in the New Year, but there are really many state officials who persuade you to cut the old mouth and go to the suburbs to go on a youth tour, which makes the people tired of reception, and in addition to working the people and losing money, they also delay the agricultural time. Full // this // small // say // net

This kind of thing can't be done, so when I traveled, I already sent the following instructions. Strictly ordered not to allow the local village chief to organize the people to drive, and those who violate it will be punished, more than half a year, Xiang Shen also understands Chu Zhen's temperament, and knows that this county lord usually says nothing. Although the official article has done very little, it is true that he has the intention to welcome it, but he is really afraid of being punished for it.

So along the way, passing by a few towns and villages, no one came to disturb him, and Chu Zhen was able to carefully observe the water conservancy and agriculture situation in various places. The harvest is good, but the problem is serious, the situation of the towns and villages adjacent to Hangzhou City is good, but some remote areas. In particular, the situation in villages that have been hit by premature disasters is far from optimistic.

Even if you haven't worked in the fields for many years. Maybe even the hoe and shovel have forgotten how to call, but the basic farming knowledge still remembers some, but at this moment, Chu Zhen saw that the fields were overgrown with weeds, as if they had been barren for many years.

The people are the most kind and diligent, although Chu is skeptical about this, but he is convinced that the peasants rely on the land to eat, if they do not work diligently, they will not be able to support their families, and it is difficult to be lazy.

Walked a few in a row. This is the case in the villages, except for the occasional plot of land that has been ploughed and sown. Some even sprouts have sprung up, while the rest are in a state of abandonment.

Sensing that Chu was in a bad mood, Liu Renzhi proposed: "My lord, don't you want to find the township here to understand the situation?" ”

"No need, we can just go directly to the village and ask the people." Chu Zhen said, Xiang Zhong couldn't wait to encounter this kind of situation, and when he asked them, he must have tried his best to cover them up, and he might not even have half the truth.

The group of people is mighty, the clothes are gorgeous, and the discerning people know at a glance that they are not rich or expensive, and there is no such thing as a private visit to the microservice. If necessary, directly reveal the identity, and several officials opened the way and walked straight towards the village.

There was a burst of chickens and dogs, looking at the smiling Xiangshen and the people who bowed their heads and were silent. Chu Zhen was used to this kind of scene, and without waiting for the guidance of the townsman, he walked into an ordinary thatched hut and other things. has its own arrangement by Liu Renzhi.

is worthy of being a right-hand man, Liu Renzhi is very handy in handling this and things, letting the owner of the thatched hut go in to listen to the words of the magistrate, and at the same time instruct the officials to be on guard outside. I greeted those villagers politely.

The owner of the thatched hut is about forty or fifty years old, and the person he has the most contact with on weekdays is probably the village villager. Otherwise, it is the soap official who came to collect taxes, and he is a little confused about how big an official the county is, but even the most powerful landlords in the village have to be carefully accompanied. It's definitely a big shot, no doubt.

Xiaomin, Wuma, saw that the big "big" was nervous but forgot Liu Renzhi's guidance, and after kneeling, his body couldn't help trembling, and his tongue was knotted and trembling.

"Get up." Chu Zhen said in a harmonious voice, and stepped forward to help Wuma up. First, it means that it is close to the people. Second, I really don't fit into a person who is twice as old as himself to bow down.

"Order" stood up, Wuma lowered his head, thanked him for a long time, and his nervous and restrained color did not decrease.

"Sit down and talk." Chu Zhen said. knew that the other party might not dare, so he forcibly sat down with him. Then he sat next to him and asked with a pleasant face, "How many people are in the family?" ”

"Fifteen, no, sixteen." Uma replied nervously.

No, Chu Zhen looked at the thatched house, although it was only a corner of the hall, but it could also be speculated that the area of the house should not be wide, and it could accommodate sixteen people, which was not easy.

Chu Zhen sighed while starting a family conversation with Wu Ma, asking about some trivial matters in the neighborhood, and Wu Ma gradually relaxed his nervousness, although he was still a little restrained. But at least you can have a normal relationship, and you can no longer speak in a slurred and unspoken tone.

After asking and answering, Chu Zhen also slowly understood the situation in Wuma's family, his old wife passed away, and he had eight sons. Three of them have already married daughters-in-law and have given birth to three grandchildren. There is also a granddaughter who was born only two days ago, and three generations of the same family live in a thatched hut, and life is hard.

"Life is tight, there is no money left at home, and the other cubs are older, so they don't have any money to ask for a daughter-in-law for them." Speaking of sadness, Wuma's eyes were hot red.

Chu Zhen sighed lightly, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a field at home?" ”

"There are still a few acres left by our ancestors, but it will be difficult to say later."

"The same is true for everyone else?"

In the evening, after a light rain, the inner courtyard of the county government. Starry night gentle. The moon is rising, a faint fragrance of flowers and trees permeates the night sky, the night is cool, faintly shrouded in mist, flowers and plants are like silk, each blade of grass is full of raindrops, with the branches and leaves fluttering in the wind, shining in the moonlight. The scenery is picturesque, but no one appreciates it, returning from the countryside, Chu Zhen excused himself to be tired, went back to the bedroom and slept with his head covered, but he didn't come out at dinner time, the servants were worried, but they didn't dare to disturb.

When he came back from the first child of the Printing Society, he heard some news and Lian Ren carried a carved lacquer food to the front of the bedroom, but it was dark in the ugly room, and he knocked on the door and called, and after a while, Chu Zhi responded in a daze. Shi Cai pushed the door forward, put the food box on the table, and lit a few red candles.

A few rays of bright light shone brightly, and Chu'er took a clear look at the situation in the house, only to see Chu Zhimu lying on the bed, his official uniform had not been taken off, his eyes were wide open, but he had no look, and he looked at the Luo tent in a daze. Even Chu'er walked to the bedside without noticing.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, his slender hand stroked Chu Zhi's forehead, and finding that there was nothing abnormal, Chu'er quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "What's wrong with Childe." Where is the discomfort in the body? ”

After a long time, Chu Zhen's eyes regained a trace of brilliance, looked at Chu'er, and pulled her into his arms with a slight force. The elegant aroma filled his nose, and he took a heavy breath, but he sighed long and was silent for a long time.

Two soft arms hugged Chu Zhi's waist and snuggled up to his chest, and Chu'er asked softly, "Childe has something on his mind?" ”

"Tired.

Chu Zhen touched his chest. He whispered, "I'm tired here. ”

"Can you talk to Chu'er?" raised her pretty face slightly, and her eyes showed a hint of tenderness.

"Today I went to the countryside and realized the suffering of the people." It seems that a way to confide in you has been found. Chu Zhen muttered: "Although I knew the difficulties of people's livelihood before, I only heard about it, I never saw it, but now I finally understand it."

The knowledge learned from books is always separated from reality until it is connected to reality. Without personal experience, you will never understand the misery and blood and tears brought to the people by the so-called word annexation. Family of sixteen. Forced to be helpless, in order to survive. Either sell the land or become a slave. There are only two choices, otherwise the whole family will not be spared.

If it hadn't been for himself, he would have just been born. What will the baby girl be treated in the end...", Chu Zhen shuddered.

"Chu'er, when you entered your aunt's house that day, was the same situation at home?" Chu Zhen asked softly. After describing the bitterness, I felt heavy and relaxed.

"No, it's not." Chu'er shook her head slowly: "My father sent me to Mrs. in the hope that I could learn Mrs. 's skills, at the beginning, I also complained about my father, and later, "I met Childe." Only then did I know that it was a good luck for a new child. ”

Listening to this affectionate voice, Chu Zhen was moved. Lowering her head, she gently slid along the delicate arc of her pretty face, quietly kissing her sweet lips.

"Still. The situation that Childe said, the village also has. The slender hand supported Chu Zhi's face, his body leaned up slightly, and there was a trace of sadness in Chu'er's beautiful eyes: "Sometimes, my uncle's family is in difficulty, and even though my father has the heart to help, but, fortunately, with the help of my son, a workshop was set up in the village, and the situation improved." ”

In the past, I always thought that I knew that the people's livelihood was difficult, and the so-called inspection of the countryside was mostly a formality, without in-depth investigation, and I was complacent about doing a few good things for the people, and I was complacent about being a good official, but in fact, the help to them was extremely limited.

After suppressing her emotions, Chu'er hurriedly said: "Actually, the son has done a good job, and Chu'er often hears praise from the people of Hangzhou. ”

"No fault is merit, and their requirements are really low." Chu Zhen couldn't be happy, it seems that the people are afraid of the disaster.

"Who said that since Gongzi took office, he has been sympathetic to the people, resolved disputes, tried unjust cases, rescued the people, managed river transportation, built embankments, and observed the people's feelings. Chu'er said.

"It's for the sake of official prestige, or for other reasons." Chu Zhi said softly, even if it benefits the people, but think about it from another angle. When the construction starts, it will also cost people and money.

Shaking his head slightly, Chu'er said seriously: "Why should the son be so arrogant, the son disregarded his safety that day and braved the rain to rescue the people, is it also out of selfishness." ”

"Not really." Chu Zhen muttered: "At that time, the situation was in danger, who had the heart to think about it so much.

"So, that's what Childe often calls an instinctive reaction." Chu'er smiled sweetly: "If you change to other officials, maybe they will be the fastest runners." ”

"Although it's just an accident and doesn't mean anything, I'm much more comfortable listening to you." Chu Zhen smiled, and he was fond of Chu'er. Said softly: Qin Qing is a little stuffy, which makes you worried. ”

Chu'er smiled and snuggled in his arms. Said softly: "Childe has figured it out?" "Nope." Chu Zhen shook his head.

"Then think about it when you're full." Chu Er smiled, climbed up, pulled Chu Zhi to the table, opened the food box and took out the delicious food carefully prepared by the kitchen. It was neatly placed, and a glass of wine was poured and placed in front of Chu Zhi.

Yi Ren was beside him, speaking softly, even if he lost his appetite, Chu Zhi couldn't bear to refuse, and reluctantly ate a bowl of rice. After drinking two warm wines, his complexion recovered a little.

Chu'er was very happy, and Zhang Luo cleaned up the table with the servants, served the refreshing tea soup, and then lit a piece of spice, and wisps of green smoke filled the house. The aroma is refreshing and invigorating.
