Zhao Junsheng did not rush to ask the two officials about the current situation of the two officials in the past six months after the promulgation and implementation of the Ma Zheng, and the few questions that the official surnamed Chang said were very representative, so he asked Cui Hao to record them, and then he could ask the farmers along the way whether there were any of these problems.

In response to the problem that most of the people with the surname Chang said did not know how to feed livestock and prevent diseases, Zhao Junsheng himself pondered the need for the government to send shepherds who were proficient in feeding livestock to teach the people experience, and to serve as technical advisers for feeding livestock to the people for a long time, similar to the technicians of agricultural technology stations in later generations.

Before going to bed at night, Zhao Junsheng also took a small notebook to write down this matter.

Mulan leaned over and asked, "What do you write?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "You also heard it at dinner, and the lower-level officials felt that the peasants were not very good at serving the livestock, and I thought it was reasonable, and I thought that I should order the local government to send some herdsmen who were proficient in feeding the cattle to teach the farmers their experience!" ”

When Hua Mulan heard this, her eyes lit up, "Hey, I think your method is good, so that the people can quickly master the skills of how to feed the livestock, so that the animals can grow better and faster, and it can also reduce the mortality rate of livestock in the feeding process!" ”

Zhao Junsheng now realizes that it is very important to send livestock feeding technicians to farmers to teach feeding experience and guidance consultants, which is equivalent to a supporting service, such as a newly built community, if the surrounding supporting facilities are not complete, I am afraid that no one cares.

In the following days, Zhao Junsheng and others went all the way south and did not enter the city, but picked the road in the countryside and went from village to village.

At noon that day, Zhao Junsheng and others passed by a village, so they entered the village to rest.

"This big brother, I'm feeling thirsty when I'm passing by here, can I ask for a bowl of water to drink?" When he came to the door of a family in the village, Zhao Junsheng saw a middle-aged strong man holding a bundle of hay to feed the livestock.

The middle-aged strong man turned his head to look, with a smile on his face, and threw the hay in the trough, looking very enthusiastic: "It turns out that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, please!" ”

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged strong man's home is a adobe house, the roof is covered with thatch, and the house is very clean, after Zhao Junsheng and others entered, he immediately enthusiastically moved a stool for Zhao Junsheng and others to sit in, and let his wife boil water to make tea.

The tea is coarse tea, and the middle-aged man greeted him warmly and said: "There is no good tea in the township, so I can only use some coarse tea to entertain your distinguished guests!" ”

In any era of political stability, social stability, and gradual improvement of the people's living standards, the people are very hospitable and courteous.

However, if there is frequent turbulence, frequent outbreaks, wars, and extremely bad public order, and the people live in difficulty, they have no last meal, and they are often expropriated by the government and robbed by bandits, then people will be very wary and even hostile to outsiders.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Big brother is too polite, in previous years, I was often guarded and hostile by the locals along the way on the business road, but now along the way, the people everywhere we pass are very enthusiastic, just like the eldest brother is so kind!" ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "In previous years, there were often wars, the government often increased taxes, and the people such as us were exploited very heavily, and there were often military disasters and bandits. ”

"Yes, it's all the trouble!" Cui Hao couldn't help but sigh, and changed the topic without a trace, "Big brother, look at what you were feeding the livestock just now, how skinny are you feeding this animal, is it possible that you refuse to feed the livestock more forage?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "How can it? After all, these animals were borrowed from the government, and they were expected to earn a few dollars from them to improve their lives! Who knew that this winter, I saw the animals losing weight day by day, and I didn't know what was going on, so I was anxious! ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Big brother, there is also a way to feed the livestock, if the feeding method is not right, the livestock is easy to lose fat and easy to get sick!" Our family used to graze and feed livestock, and if you follow my method, your animals will soon grow fat and have a shiny coat! ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed and asked Zhao Junsheng very respectfully for feeding methods.

Where does Zhao Junsheng know how to herd and feed livestock? He glanced at Mulan.

Mulan's family used to be a large rancher, with a huge pasture and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and naturally had a lot of experience in how to feed livestock.

Hua Mulan immediately taught the middle-aged man the feeding experience, and the middle-aged man did not dare to distract himself, so he concentrated on listening to Mulan explain the method of feeding the livestock step by step, and then wrote it down by heart.

The middle-aged man wrote it down and said to Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and others: "This is a stunt to support a family and make a fortune, but the distinguished guest taught it to Yu without concealment, and a certain family is really ashamed!" ”

"No, no, no, I'm waiting for the warm hospitality of my eldest brother, and some of the methods of feeding the animals are not worth mentioning!" Hua Mulan smiled and waved her hand, and asked again, "Big brother, how are you borrowing livestock from the government here to feed?" Is there a rule that you can borrow livestock from the government to feed, but the government does not borrow it? ”

The middle-aged man got the method of feeding livestock taught by Mulan, and he was not wary of her, so he said: "Our county is quite good, as long as you meet the conditions, you can probably borrow livestock from the government." I heard that many families in Puyin are obviously eligible, but the government does not lend them livestock, but those rich people who have a lot of money can receive livestock at home, and they can borrow many heads at a time! ”

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Cui Hao and others looked at each other when they heard this, if what the middle-aged man said was true, then there must be a big problem in the implementation of Ma Zheng on Puyin's side, but this time it is not far from Puyin's words, and it is not close to say that it is not close, Zhao Junsheng and others can not believe the one-sided words of the middle-aged man, after all, it is hearsay, and it is not accurate.

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Are there any cases where you feed livestock here and die of illness?" ”

"Yes, why not? There are three families in our village who have died of illness, and the old bear's livestock is dead, and the old bear doesn't know how to repay the borrowed livestock to the government after three years, and the family is so anxious to die! ”

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "What is Lao Xiong going to do?" The debt of this government is not so owed, and it is natural to repay the debt, and the government should not forgive this debt, right? ”

"How can it? I haven't heard that you can still owe money to the government and not pay it back. What can the old bear do? Isn't it just a matter of looking around for something to do? I hope to save enough money to compensate the livestock within three years, otherwise I am afraid that I will go to prison! ”

Next, Zhao Junsheng and others passed through several villages along the way, and each time they found an excuse to stay in the villages they passed by for a while, looking for an opportunity to inquire about Ma Zheng.

In some of these villages, there have been no deaths of sick animals, some villages have happened once or twice, and some have happened several times, but on average, there are cases of sick and dead animals in each village, and these are mainly caused by improper feeding.

At the same time, the increase in livestock has also caused many disputes, such as the frequent destruction of crops by livestock and unhygienic conditions caused by open defecation, which of course are not big.

Two days later, Zhao Junsheng and his party came to Puyin, and on the way to Puyin City, there was a single family on the side of the road, and Zhao Junsheng and others stopped to rest at this house.

"Uncle, didn't the imperial court promulgate the horse policy, and the people could borrow livestock from the government to feed, and after three years, they only needed to return the same number of livestock, and during this period, the cubs of the animals would be returned to the people? We have come along the way and seen that people in many places have borrowed livestock from the government, why don't you have them at home? Didn't you go to the government to borrow it? ”

The old man said as he weaved the basket, "Why not?" The old man has been there three times, but he can't borrow anything, and the poor people here can't borrow it, and it's not just my old man's family! ”

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Cui Hao looked at each other, and Hua Mulan asked, "Why can't you borrow it?" To whom did the government lend all the livestock? ”

"Those officials in the government said that we mud-legged people don't know how to serve the livestock at all, even if we lend it to us, we can't feed it well, and we may die, and we can't pay it back if the animals die! As for the cattle of the government, they were all lent to the rich by those who were in charge! ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "Lent to a rich man? Didn't the imperial court stipulate that peasants with livestock at home could not borrow livestock from the government to feed? Since those rich families feed livestock, there are definitely not a few, and the number of feeds will definitely be very large, and the imperial court also has regulations that they must apply to the government for permission to feed in large quantities, how did they pass the government's review? ”

The old man smiled: "There is no great benefit, those who are officials dare to ignore the ban of the imperial court?" ”

Interests are moving, as this old man said, there are not enough interests to drive, those officials dare to ignore the regulations of the imperial court, or even violate the regulations? There must be a collusion between officials and gentry.

After continuing to set off, Li Bao looked very angry: "King, these bastards are so hateful, they really deserve to be killed!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't say anything, he was thinking about a question, when the Qianguo was first established, and the prestige of his king was in Zhenglong, these officials dared to violate the provisions of the government decree, were they so bold that they asked for money and didn't want to die, or did they rely on it? However, he also understood that although the Qianguo was newly established, the distribution of forces between the DPRK and China had gradually taken shape.

For example, Pei Jin, Dongfang Chen, Cui Hao, Kou Qianzhi, Gao Yun, Cao Jiao, Gao Xu and a large number of others have recommended officials to him through recommendation, and they have also promoted officials within the scope of their authority, and these recommended and promoted officials naturally become members of their banners, and power factions are born.

Hua Mulan asked Cui Hao: "Cui Shangshu, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Cui Hao thought for a while and said: "This matter still needs to be verified by many parties, if the situation is true, the minister thinks that it should be dealt with severely, but the king and the princess had better not come forward in person, after all, it is just a county, and there are Taishou Mansion and Thorn Shi Mansion above, just inform the Thorn Shi Mansion of this matter, and the Thorn Shi Mansion will order the Taishou Mansion to send someone to verify, the king and the princess have every opportunity, if they personally inquire about the implementation of a county's horse administration, I am afraid that the matter will never be finished!" ”
