Dujiangyan is colder than Chengdu, close to the mountains and water, and the humid air blows on the face like a knife under the action of cold air. The servants were very happy, taking advantage of the dry winter of this year, they were working hard to reclaim the wasteland they had been allocated. Although ten acres is not much, in this era of basically relying on hands, it is already the limit of one person's labor.

The soil is dried by the sun, killing the parasites and grass roots inside, and it becomes a good cultivated land. The trees that had grown in the ground had been cut down to make houses, and the thatch had been cut to make beds, and the servants were quite familiar with the use of these wastes.

Su Ren tried his best to dig the head in his hand into the ground, but unfortunately the weight was too light and he couldn't dig deep at all. Iron is something strictly controlled by the imperial court, and ordinary people can't buy it, let alone these servants. In the front of a wooden pole, a long stone was tied, which became the head of the servant. After digging all morning, Su Ren looked left and right, less than ten square meters.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ayinon said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. to be able to do farm work, although he did it slowly, and he dug it well." ”

"Hey, hey!" Su Ren smirked twice: "Farming is the most satisfying, sweat and eat the food you grow, feel at ease, I have dug so much land for the patriarch today, I will have to take care of a meal next time I come." ”

"Hahaha......" Ayinong smiled very heartily: "No problem, I must ask Mr. to eat the food we grew with our own hands, now that our servants have these lands, we can live quietly, who is going to do anything bad, I can't spare him first." ”

Lu Yi is also dressed as a peasant woman, carrying a water jug and standing on the ridge of the field and shouting. Ayinon smiled and invited Su Ren to drink some water and rest.

I came to Dujiangyan to choose a guide, but Su Ren lived here for more than half a month and didn't say a word about it. In today's Dujiangyan, every household is busy reclaiming wasteland, and even the laziest men in the past have obediently gone to the ground under the stern eyes of women.

Su Ren took a sip of water and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief handed over by Lu Yi. The handkerchief has a fragrance on it, and it should be something that Green Lean carries with him.

Smiling at Lu Yi, Su Ren asked Ayinong: "Patriarch, I am going to take a trip to Qiangdi in the spring of next year, hoping to find some guides, I don't know ......."

"Oh! That's what you're here for, sir, right? ”

Su Ren nodded: "It's really for this, when I came here, I temporarily decided to do it again in the spring of next year, you are now reclaiming wasteland, you need a lot of manpower, this is related to your livelihood, I can't take away those who can work." ”

"Hehe, Mr. is still sympathetic to us!"

"The beginning of spring next year is also the sowing season, I will wait until the end of the farm to take people away, but I hope that I can choose it now, and then I will set off directly, I really don't want to wait any longer."

"Good! Since Mr. said so, I naturally have nothing to say, I didn't expect those lazy guys who drilled the mountain to have such blessings, and I will take Mr. to find someone tomorrow. ”

In the afternoon, he was still digging the ground, and the farm tools were so bad that no matter how hard Su Ren tried, he didn't do much this day. Sima Xiangru, as the county magistrate of Dujiangyan, is very busy. The things promised by the Taishou Mansion have not yet been matched. There is still a big shortage of seeds and cattle. Moreover, when these servants first came, they had to be busy with rations, houses, and everything for the winter.

Sima Xiangru looked at the things sent by the officials, and held the bread in one hand for a long time without sending it to his mouth. Su Ren watched at the door for a long time with tea, and then stretched out his hand and pressed it in front of Sima Xiangru: "Brother Changqing, you can't eat a meal here, and your body will collapse if you continue like this!" ”

Sima Xiangru sighed: "Hey! I can't help it, it's not easy to settle 5,000 people, and many things in the Taishou Mansion can't be cashed out, I'm in a hurry! ”

"What's the use of being in a hurry, it's important to eat first!"

Sima Xiangru has lost weight, and it has only been more than a month, and both cheeks have collapsed. Su Ren flipped through the bamboo slips indiscriminately, but it was actually nothing, all of them were requests for things. There was a shortage of food, there was a shortage of water, the servants there fought for the ridges, and the Han people there did not let the servants pass in front of his house. Trivial, all sorts of things.

Su Ren looked at Sima Xiangru, who was gobbling up: "This is what you do every day?" ”

"The head of a county is like this, what's wrong?"

"The magistrate of the county, just deal with these things, so can you do anything else?"

Sima Xiangru is an out-and-out literati. At first, it was very orderly to deal with things at Su Ren's place, and that was because Su Ren's subordinates had already formed a self-consciousness, and such boring things would not be reported. will only take some things that require Su Ren to make decisions. But now, the affairs of Dujiangyan are complicated, and Sima Xiangru's officials are also dealing with servants for the first time, and they are afraid of causing any trouble, so everything is sent to Sima Xiangru here, which makes Sima Xiangru anxious.

Sima Xiangru smiled helplessly.

Su Ren was playful: "Otherwise, how about I be the county magistrate for you for a day tomorrow?" ”

"Okay! I've been really tired these past few days, but be careful, once these things are not handled well, the servants are likely to ......."

Su Ren pushed Sima Xiangru out the door: "Okay, okay, I know, you go to sleep, it's almost time." ”

Dujiangyan County is located at the foot of Yulei Mountain, facing Feishayan. When you go out, you can see the surging river, the waves are magnificent, gushing out. In winter, the water level of the Minjiang River is low, and the inland river is almost dry, and the people of the Taishou Mansion of Shu County are cleaning up and moving silt in the inland river.

A clerk hurriedly broke into the county office, looked left and right, and found that Sima Xiangru was not there, but saw a young man sitting in the lobby.

The clerk didn't know Su Ren, so he asked, "Hey! Where is Sima County? ”

Su Ren glanced up at him: "I don't know!" ”

The official was a little anxious: "How is this good, do you know where the county zun went?" ”

"I don't know!"

The clerk was in a hurry, going back and forth in the house. Su Ren asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to find the county honor?" ”

"Hey! The people requisitioned by the Taishou Mansion dug the silt in the river, and the servants also went to dig when they saw it, and they fought with each other for the silt, and the two sides refused to let each other go, and they made trouble with me, and they would fight. ”

"Oops, that's a big deal!"

"yes, who's to say it isn't! The chief of the levy from Chengdu came to me and asked me to restrain those servants, but ......"

Su Ren glanced at the officials: "Did the servants go to the rivers where the husbands were recruited to dig up the silt?" ”

"No, the servants are quite regular, and they are all in the fork of the small river far away from the river dug by the recruiters."

"So, if the two sides don't interfere with each other, how can they fight?"

"Hey!" The official sighed: "This sludge is the best fertilizer, this thing was taken away by the recruiters in the past, and now the servants are competing with them, how can they be willing, besides, the servants are new, and the recruits also see this, so they dare to be unreasonable, everyone is Han, to say that these servants are also, the rules are not at all?" ”

"Although the servants are new, and now they are also our Han people, can't you, as a servant, speak fairly?"

"Me!" The clerk seemed to remember something, and his face changed: "Who are you?" This is our Dujiangyan matter, I don't say justice, can you manage it? ”

Su Ren smiled: "Just a word, but you came to the county honor, so what's the use of you?" Come on, knock him out! ”

Hawking and Huang 13 suddenly appeared from behind the door and punched them. The officer was caught off guard, and his mouth was beaten with blood all over his mouth, and he was thrown out of the door.

Su Ren smiled: "From today onwards, get rid of your officials, go back and forth from where!" ”

This scene was clearly seen by the rest of the officials outside the door. Someone helped the man who had beaten him up and questioned him. Under the question, everyone gasped, and someone who knew Su Ren hurriedly told everyone.

Seeing Su Ren come out of the door with Hawking and Huang Shisan, those officials hurriedly retreated. Su Ren smiled: "Sima Xianzun is tired, I want to rest for a day or two, I will temporarily act as the county magistrate, you have anything to report to me, you have also seen it, it could have been solved in one sentence, but I came all the way here, I beat him, and dismissed, I will explain this matter to Sima Xianzun, do you still have anything?" If you have nothing to do, please go back, it is important to settle the servants, the missing seeds, and ploughing cattle will arrive in a few days, so you don't need to panic. ”

Su Ren gave up his hand again, and continued: "The servants have come to Shu County, they are our Han people, I hope you will be treated equally, and you should remember your duties, if you don't do anything like him, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

He turned around and came back with Hawking and Huang Thirteen. Sima Xiangru turned out from behind the screen, looked at the officials outside the door, and was a little worried: "Can this work?" ”

"I don't know, let's try!"

From that day on, the officials rarely came back. Even if he came, it was a big deal, and Sima Xiangru suddenly felt relaxed.

When he and Su Ren were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, Sima Xiangru said: "Mr. still has a hand, otherwise I will have to die of exhaustion!" ”

"This is called management, you can't say that people make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things, at least you have to let them know that many things have to be decided by themselves." Su Ren drew a triangle on the ground: "This is like Dujiangyan, you are at the top, there are county officials and county lieutenants below, there are officials below them, there are three elders and pavilion chiefs below, and finally the people, as long as you control the county and the county lieutenant, there will naturally be someone below, you are a county magistrate, if it was Your Majesty, you would have died of exhaustion." ”

"Hehe......" Sima Xiangru smiled helplessly: "Don't talk about me, can you come to Dujiangyan to find the guide you need?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "It's difficult! A few days ago, I found some people with Ayinon, but unfortunately I didn't find anyone who could be trusted, the guide is related to the fate of the caravan, and the slightest carelessness will make the entire caravan die without a place to be buried, and there must be a person who is absolutely trusted. ”

"How about I recommend someone to you?"

"Oh? Can't ask for it! Without further ado, hurry up, let's go now! ”

Sima Xiangru was helplessly dragged out of the door by Su Renqiang.
