Three days later, all the villagers of Qianhua Village gathered at the entrance of the village.

After some inquiry, he found that there were still many villagers who were willing to mix potatoes, and the heavy stones hanging in his heart could be regarded as landing.

This can be regarded as a major event assigned by the government.

From the very beginning of getting this task, he felt not very optimistic. After all, everyone is used to farming, and if they suddenly change to potatoes, everyone has to beat the drum in their hearts.

But I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It must have been his three-inch incorruptible tongue that played a role, turning the impossible into possibility, and turning decay into magic.

At this moment, the chief of the heart is happy, and he can't wait to enter the city to restore the life of the county lord.

But the villagers were too enthusiastic, and they always pulled him to ask long and short questions, so that he couldn't pull away for a while.

"Captain, when will this potato start to be planted? The seeds were provided by the government, right? ”

He Laohan squeezed over and said with a smile: "Tell me as soon as you have news." ”

"Well, the government will provide it, and when I have news, I will definitely not forget you Lao He."

The lieutenant chief was not in the mood to talk to He Laohan, and said a perfunctory word.

He evaded the "encirclement and interception" of several old villagers, and finally got out and rode a donkey towards the county seat.

Changle County is a large county in Qingzhou Prefecture, and the county seat is naturally very prosperous.

He rode all the way to the gate of the city, and after being inspected by the inspectors, he entered the city.

Like many county towns in Daming, Changle County has a standard cross-street structure. The temple is located in the middle of the county, slightly north of the county office, and is the center of the county.

The lieutenant had already dismounted from the donkey and led the beast towards the county office.

When he reached the vicinity of the county office, he tied the donkey in front of a nearby inn and walked forward with square steps.

"Han Ping, the head of the contemptible Qianhua Village, asks to see the county lord."

Han Ping half-bowed and took a few steps forward, and said with a smile.

A servant on duty looked at Han Ping, nodded lightly and said, "You wait here, I'll report to the eldest master." ”

After saying that, he knocked on the door, and the county government gate opened a crack, and the official got in.

Han Ping was not in a hurry.

This is the only thing he has for today, and when he is done, it will be done.

While waiting, he simply closed his eyes and rested.

After a cup of tea, the servant went and returned.

Han Ping hurriedly opened his eyes and stepped forward, looking like he was listening.

"The old man told you to come in. However, the county is not in a very good mood today, you should be careful. ”

Han Ping chuckled in his heart.

Damn, how did you pick such an unlucky time. The county lord was in a bad mood, he just came to recover at this time, isn't that the old birthday star hanging himself - is he impatient?

He immediately wanted to retreat.

"If that's the case, I'll retire first, and I'll come to see you again when the county is in a better mood."

As soon as these words came out, the official immediately scolded with a hanging face: "Damn, what do you think the county government is?" Wet market? Come as the fuck you want? We have already reported it for you, if you run away, we will not be severely reprimanded by the master. ”

Han Ping was frightened, and subconsciously shrunk his neck and said, "Then, can't I go?" ”

The official snorted and said, "That's pretty much it. The action is sharp, so that the old man has waited for a long time. ”

"Hey, hey."

Han Ping answered twice, and hurriedly stepped over the threshold into the county office.

He had been to the county government several times before, so he had a good understanding of the structure of the county government.

All the way through the courtyard to the backyard, Han Ping walked to the county order's study.

The county's county magistrate's surname is Yin, his name is Zhongnian, and he is forty-three years old this year.

To say that this Yin County Ling is still quite talented, and the ranking of the imperial examination was also the top two in that year. It's just that it seems that his official fortune is not very prosperous, and he is still a seven-grade county magistrate after more than ten years in officialdom.

I have changed several places in a row and have not made political achievements, and the evaluation of the officials is always medium or middle-class, and it is too difficult to get promoted.

This is the second year of Yin County's order in Changle County, and if he can't make any political achievements, I'm afraid he will inevitably be transferred to the fate of the officials.

Therefore, Yin Zhongnian was very concerned about the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes by the imperial court.

In his opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he can seize the opportunity, his fate may be rewritten, and promotion is not a problem at all.

Therefore, Yin Zhongnian was full of confidence at the beginning and was ready to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.

But when it came time to actually do things, he found that it was very difficult.

First of all, the people of this county are accustomed to planting wheat and sorghum.

All of a sudden, let them grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and they are not happy in their hearts.

Although the government has granted tax exemptions to these villagers who grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, most of the villagers are still unwilling.

Secondly, according to the planting cycle given by the imperial court, it is a little late to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes now.

Potatoes may be better, but sweet potatoes may not be harvested before autumn.

In this case, it is not surprising that the villagers are reluctant to plant.

But the chief of six or seven villages said that the villagers in his village were unwilling to plant, and it was too evil, right?

There is no one in the village who is willing to share the worries of the government?

The more Yin Zhongnian thought about it, the more angry he became, and smashed more than a dozen bottles and cans in a row.

At this time, another official reported that the chief of Qianhua Village asked to see him.

Yin Zhongnian's first reaction was to tell the chief to go back. After all, he had already suffered seven or eight blows, and instinctively thought that this time would not be good news.

But he thought about it, what if it was really good news?

After all, after so many bad lucks, it's time to transfer it, right?

With this mentality, Yin Zhongnian still decided to let the official bring in the chief of Qianhua Village.

He also forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and restored the dignity and bearing that a county should have.

said that Han Ping entered the study and respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yin County's order.

Yin Zhongnian raised his hand and motioned for Han Ping to get up.

He had met Han Ping once before, but he was not too impressed, he just felt familiar.

But Han Ping engraved the appearance of Yin County's order in his mind.

In his opinion, the county lord is simply a Wenqu star, and this appearance and bearing are really beyond the reach of mortals.

After saluting like a ceremony, Han Ping said respectfully: "The villain obeyed the order of the county to go to the village to plant potatoes, fortunately, the people of the village are willing to plant ......."

"Oh?"

Yin Zhongnian was overjoyed when he heard this.

He heard him right, right?

Are the villagers of Qihua really willing to try to grow potatoes?

"Are you telling the truth?"

"How dare the villain speak in front of the county lord, what the villain said is true."

"Yes, yes!"

Yin Zhongnian's face finally showed joy, and he praised repeatedly: "You did a good job, this county really didn't use the wrong person!" ”
