One evening, Wang He came to Li Zheng's house and saw him sitting at the door of his house, and the place in sight was a large piece of farmland.

Wang He walked up to the chief of the li, squatted down and asked him: "Lizheng, it's almost April, why is there no shadow of the cow that was said to be good?" ”

Li Zheng said unhurriedly: "What's the hurry, it will always come, don't you still believe what Zhang County ordered to say?" ”

"Of course I believe in Zhang County's words, but you don't have a bottom in your heart, you must know that it is almost April, and I thought that it would be faster to plow the land with cattle, and everyone can take their time to plow the land. The land that should have been cultivated by oneself is still barren. So ask me to ask. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Zheng was so angry that he couldn't sit still, and suddenly roared angrily: "As far as your land is still barren, hasn't Lao Tzu's land not been touched much?" Wait, it's better to be diligent and do a little more every day from tomorrow, and maybe you can finish plowing the land in the end. ”

"But we've all paid the money, a hundred dollars, how long will it take? Originally, this money was used by everyone to pay taxes, but now there is still money! ”

Li Zheng said disapprerovingly: "It's only a hundred yuan to be in a hurry, I paid five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan!" This money didn't fall from the sky, it was all our blood and sweat, and now I guess we won't come back. ”

"I see, now try to finish the rest of the work, and then go to Zhang Xianling to work, so that I can make up for it a little."

Wang He was also anxious and said, "But it's too late to plant this grain, and everyone will have nothing to eat in the autumn." Lizheng, you should think of a way. ”

"What can I do, if I had any good way, I would have used it a long time ago, why should I use you to remind me."

"Why don't we go and ask Zhang Xianling? He should be able to solve it, after all, this matter was also instigated by him. ”

Li Zheng sighed: "Alas, it's useless to ask him, I think this is his ghost, there is no such thing as renting livestock at all, in order to loot money from our people." ”

"Hmph, I think he and the previous county commanders are all the way. If you ask him, it is estimated that he will be arrested and locked up for a few months, and then your family will really not be able to eat. ”

Wang He really had no choice, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and walked back and forth.

"Let's do as I say, go home, start to work hard and tired tomorrow, fight for it, and do a little more."

Wang He stopped, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Li Zheng: "No, there must be an explanation for this matter, even if Li Zheng doesn't go, I have to go to the door to ask Zhang Xianling for clarification, otherwise the money will be given in vain, and I will not be happy." ”

"If Zhang Xianling is really that kind of person, then I am blind and mistaken about him." After speaking, Wang Hetou went home without looking back.

It was already completely dark, and Li Zheng watched Wang He's distant figure disappear into the darkness, and actually laughed.

"Hehehe, this kid is really not afraid of things. Forget it, how can I say that I am also Lizheng, how can this kind of thing make a young man stand out. With that, he patted his ass and walked back home.

……

The market in Fang County is the place with the most people in Fang County every day.

Today, thanks to Zhang Hao's order, a platform was erected in the center. At this moment, a commendation meeting is underway, and the people have put down what they are doing and watched onlookers.

This is something new that has never happened before.

"This time, Zhonghe Township took the lead in completing this year's spring ploughing, so the rent for renting livestock is completely free."

Zhang Hao handed a small box to the township chief of Zhonghe Township, "This is an additional reward for the township chief, inside is a certificate of shareholding, and you can get one-thousandth of the annual income generated by Fangxian Ranch in the future." ”

The main purpose of this commendation meeting is to honor the awards mentioned last time. As for the extra share incentive part, Zhang Hao thought about it temporarily.

It's just that Zhang Hao didn't expect that Zhonghe Township would complete the task first, originally he thought that Shanghe Township, which is now the least populated, would be the first to complete it.

The head of Zhonghe Township is also surnamed Zhang, a man in his forties, and today's situation is the first time he has encountered it, but he does not feel nervous at all, and is even very excited.

After today, the people of Fang County will know that he is the head of Zhang Township, and he was rewarded by the county order in public, and he will be a celebrity in Fang County from now on.

The most affordable is this reward, which is one thousandth of the profit of the ranch every year. Although he still doesn't know whether this ranch is making money from the ground, it must be a few thousand dollars a year based on the current situation.

Moreover, this is the government's property, so this income can definitely be guaranteed.

"Thank you for the county order, this is all the county order to guide well. The subordinates don't dare to take credit, this reward is deserved. ”

Township Chief Zhang looked proud, and he didn't look ashamed.

Zhang Hao smiled and said: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, this is what I should do as a county magistrate, you can accept it." ”

"Thank you again for the county order, and my subordinates will make persistent efforts to live up to the high expectations of the county order."

"And the rent paid by your township, I will send the county soldiers in the county to send it back door to door, so you don't have to worry about it."

"No."

The other township chiefs in the audience looked at the high-spirited Township Chief Zhang on the stage, and they were all envious and jealous. This man lived not for profit or for fame.

Seeing that Township Chief Zhang, who was originally similar to himself, was gaining fame and fortune at the moment, he would have a feeling in his heart that if he had used dim sum at the beginning, he would be on this platform.

"This old Zhang is really showing his face today." The head of Shanghe Township said.

"Alas, I didn't take it seriously when I heard the county order that the rent of the first place would be returned, but I didn't expect there to be such a show." This is the head of Dashan Township".

"It's okay, it's okay, it's over this year, isn't there still next year," said the head of Xiahe Township, but he was still a little weak when he said this, and he didn't notify him of the reward at all.

At this time, Zhang Hao said: "Don't be discouraged by the others, make persistent efforts in spring ploughing next year." ”

"No."

Seeing that the commendation meeting was about to end, Zhang Hao was also about to withdraw the platform to resume the circulation of the market, when suddenly a man shouted from the crowd.

"Wait a minute, Zhang Xianling, please wait a minute!"

Then several people squeezed into the crowd and came to the stage, wanting to climb onto the stage to find Zhang Hao.

"Protect the county order, there are assassins." Zheng Meng, who served as Zhang Hao's personal guard, pulled out his knife at once, and wanted to step forward and cut a few people.

Zhang Hao hurriedly stopped him, so as not to scare the others around him.

"These are a few peasants, where do they look like assassins? Put the knife away. ”

Zhang Hao came to several people, helped them to the stage one by one, and said: "You have something to find the official, it just so happens that so many people are watching now, if there is anything to say, the official will definitely help you solve it." ”

Who knew that they didn't say anything, but knelt down first and kowtowed to Zhang Hao, and one of them spoke: "The grass people are called Wang He, and they are from Sanyangli in Xiahe Township, and I implore the county order to save the people in our Sanyangli." ”

Lower River Township? Zhang Hao glanced at the township chief of Xiahe Township, and saw that he was a little panicked, and his body retreated slightly to leave here, so he said: "Township Chief Lu, since it is the villagers below you, then you can also come up and listen to what is going on." ”

Then regardless of whether the head of Xiahe Township was willing or not, Zhang Hao asked Zheng Meng to bring him to the stage as well.

Zhang Hao picked up the people in Sanyang and said: "My Youyan men are all warriors, and they shouldn't kneel easily, since you have something to come to me and think I can help, then tell me about it." Township Chief Lu and I will do our best to solve the problem. ”

Wang He said: "Xie County Order, a few of us came to the county order to ask if the leased livestock that we said at the beginning was real, and when it will be our turn in Sanyangli." If there is no more livestock to cultivate, after the autumn harvest, the people in Sanyang will starve to death. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was a little shocked, how could there be no one who didn't use it?

"This is naturally true, you see that I am still commending the township chief of Zhonghe Township today, and I have also confirmed that they are indeed the first to complete it." It's just that Zhang Hao himself only looked at the situation in Zhonghe Township.

"But we don't use it until now, we paid the money at the beginning, and the rent of 100 yuan per household you asked for was paid by a lot of the people in us."

Many people in the audience who knew what was going on were in an uproar.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he was immediately furious, and he pulled over Township Chief Lu and shouted: "You explain to me what is going on, why the villagers under your rule do not use livestock." And the price I set is no more than 50 yuan per household, why has it become 100 yuan? Say! ”

Township Chief Lu was also very flustered at the moment, but he didn't expect that what he did would be exposed in public. It's hard to hide it, because the land is there, and it's a person who can understand it if you look at it.

"County order, my subordinates really don't know about this, and my subordinates are completely doing what you want." Township Chief Lu said with a sad face.

"There must be people below, that's right, it must be the people below who did it behind their subordinates."

"You talk nonsense!" Among the several people, a man about fifty years old stood out, "I am Li Zheng in Sanyang, when you asked us Li Zheng to deliver the news, you said 100 yuan, and said that you got a total of 15 cows and 12 horses. Now he is framing us in front of the prefectural order. ”

Li Zheng has no fear of his superiors at this moment, this bastard wants his own life, this can still be endured.

Township Chief Lu was stunned, the person concerned was actually here. can't blame him for not recognizing it, Li Zheng is not an official, he is a pariah to him, who will remember it.

Zhang Hao let go of Township Chief Lu and said calmly: "Just take a look at this matter on the spot, as for Township Chief Lu, the people who come will arrest it first and wait for disposal." ”

"Don't worry, this matter will be dealt with soon, and I, Zhang Hao, will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
