Until he walked back to his house, Li Nong still couldn't hold back the slight tremor in his hands, and after hearing Zou Lizheng's words, his head was like a mess and he didn't really wake up until now, so that even the farm tools he brought with him when he went uphill in the morning fell into the ground and forgot to bring them back - such an omission was unimaginable for Li Nong, at least for the first time in the past twenty years. /

Li Nong is a native of the village, married to the Hun family is also in the same village, and has never been out of the village fifty miles away in his life......

Such a big man who only existed in legends for him actually sent people to find him? And "invited" him to discuss things?

It's too evil, except for those tricks in the field, what else does this honest Li Nong know? But...... The county magistrate can't talk to him about farming, right? When such a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, Zou Lizheng, whose eyes were full of doubts, couldn't help but pouted and smiled, even he felt that this sudden idea was too ridiculous, how could it be? Although the successive officials will talk about the foundation of the agricultural and mulberry country, who doesn't know that this is fooling people, what the officials really value is only the tax on the pile of grain and fabrics, and there is one who has really been to the land? Not to mention that he sent someone from the county to invite an old mud leg who couldn't say a word to discuss things.

Although he was very curious, Zou Lizheng only tried to say a word and didn't ask more about the tolerance, one is because he has never met or exchanged with this extremely young tolerance, and more importantly, he is obviously aware that this tolerance is different from what he has seen before.

All the way to the wind and cold came over but didn't even eat a pot of hot wine and hurried to do office work, Lao Zou Ganli has been so many years, he really hasn't seen such a tolerance, in the past, Lao Zhao when they came down, who was not tired as soon as he got off the horse, and the words of arranging wine and dinner were loud, and he had to eat and drink enough by the way, and then he would think of the errand after being comfortable with the old Lang widow who was close to the left, and it was just talking, and it was really *** Lao Zhao would not even move a finger, and he had to dig out some "hard-earned money" when he left before he was willing to go back to the city.

Compared with Lao Zhao's goods, the little young tolerance in front of him is simply a model of good officials, but the more such people are, the more difficult it is to deal with and ask small words, but although it is not easy to ask, Zou Lizheng, who has been mixed with oil for decades, still faintly guessed something, and the appearance of this small tolerance that is completely different from the past should not only be an accident, but also related to the new county order.

Zou Lizheng's identity is different, and there are naturally more sources, and it is difficult to say anything else, but like there was a big mess in the city, the new county order led the cavalry of the Tiancheng Army to quickly quell the chaos, and then he cut off more than a hundred heads on the Beicheng Tower.

That's more than a hundred heads, and they can take up half of the yard when they are spread out, and the person who can do such things will be a good stubble? The county yamen has been replaced by such a county lord, and it is not surprising that the faces of the people who came down are a little strange. Once the son of heaven is still a courtier, the movement of the new county order is so big, there must be a little new atmosphere?

Thinking of this, although Zou Lizheng was still urging Li Nong to clean up as soon as possible, he was thinking differently in his heart, it was good to change to a county order that could stand up his waist, but he was on an errand here...... This is a real fat shortage...... is still the same sentence, once the son of heaven and a courtier, after the new county order cleans up the county government, it is time to think about the righteousness of their subordinates, whether the right seat here can still sit, where is it hanging!

After thinking about it a lot, when Li Nong packed up his things and was able to leave, Zou Lizheng also made up his mind - he had to go to the county seat as soon as possible to explore the details, if the new county order was a good money, then it should be sent, and it should be plugged; If this is a new county order who is bent on seeking merit for the future, then there is nothing else to think about, and in short, he can't lose the good position here.

Put on the best clothes you can wear. On his shoulder, the old woman wiped her tears and took out pure white flour hard cakes and dry food. Ignorant and frightened, Li Nong climbed up to the land where Zou Li was looking and a big green mule went on the road.

Seeing the drought along the way made Li Nong's heart heavier and heavier. It turned out that it wasn't just near their village. There was a great drought in such a large land. "Lord Yama is going to collect a lot of people." He whispered this sentence in his mouth. Li Nong couldn't bear to look at the dry and cracked fields on both sides.

The only thing that made Li Nong feel a little relaxed and even a little uneasy was the tolerance attitude of his peers - this tolerance was too good for him. It's so good that Li Nong always has the illusion that he is still not at the point of tolerance. How could a man who eats public food be so good to a farmer like him? Not only does he always speak kindly, but he doesn't think he's slow at all. Even the accommodation and food along the way did not cost him half a penny. And it's still a good place to eat! It's not. It's been more than a day. He carried pure white flour in his baggage, and he didn't miss a mouthful of cakes.

The people in the government came to him. Even if you eat and rest, you don't need him to spend a penny on a piece of food.

So much talk about the ancient land. Who said such a good thing? Don't talk about it. Just want T

After a little more aisle together. Gradually becoming a little familiar with the tolerance, Li Nong also asked about this. The tolerance only said that this was Lord Tang personally explained to the ground. You are all guests of the county. There can be no slack!

Li Nong then knew that the county lord who "invited" him was a surname with the national dynasty, and when he saw that the tolerance said that the county order Tang Lao's eyes lit up, he naturally asked about the county lord again, and it happened that this tolerance was heard of Tang Cheng's first ascension to the court and experienced the subsequent turmoil and chaos, this is amazing, because of his question, the tolerance of the opening of the chatterbox was said to be dim, the sun and the moon were dark, and Li Nong, who was honest, was stunned and dazzled.

As they spoke, the two of them then met other tolerances and peasants, and when they arrived at Liuguan Village, the original two had already reached a team of nearly twenty people, and there were not only tolerances and peasants in the team, but even carpenters and several.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day after Li Nong left home, their special team rushed to the outside of Liuguan Village.

When Tang Cheng came, the small village was still very deserted and now it is a lot more lively, although the houses in the village have not increased, but many new houses have been erected in the flat valley outside the village, these houses are made in a hurry, the flat terrain is selected to ram an arc of chest-high earthen wall, cut the firewood on the mountain to dry the moisture, and then stick to the earthen wall inside to set up the tent of the Tiancheng army march, and the problem of accommodation has been solved in a short time.

As soon as Li Nong and his entourage walked to the edge of the camp, the leader who walked in the front suddenly said loudly: "It's my lord, the county lord has come out."

The people in the team were still looking around in a chaotic manner, and the shout of tolerance suddenly attracted their attention, and Li Nong, who was riding on the mule, opened his eyes wide, and saw a man in official clothes walking out of the simple tent not far in front of him.

"That's the prefectural magistrate?" , Although he had seen Tang Cheng's brilliant official clothes with his own eyes, and also saw the posture of the stars and moons behind him, Li Nong still couldn't believe that this handsome man who came with a smile on his face would be the county magistrate.

That's too young, isn't it? Why does such a young person have such a great ability to stop Xi Manzi, and make these officials can't help but raise their voices as soon as they talk about it?

In the past two days, there has been a lot of talk about the county magistrate on the road, and they are all looking forward to seeing the county magistrate who invited them, but after seeing me, everyone is as surprised as Li Nong, and the farmers and carpenters in the whole team are quiet.

"My husband has worked hard all the way, but fortunately, there is no important crop work in the field at this time, so you don't have to worry too much about the family", until Tang Cheng's two hands had already put on Li Nong's hands to help him down, Li Nong was still a little stunned and didn't know what to say or what to do, "Although this tent looks simple, it is also warm, and the charcoal fire and hot water in it are prepared in advance.

Really felt the strength of Tang Cheng's envoy, Li Nong suddenly woke up, and without waiting for Tang Cheng to exert any more effort, his left leg slipped off the back of the mule, and his movements were not like a person over fifty years old at all.

Li Nong's actions also woke up the other peasants and carpenters, who slipped out of the mules and horses with a vigor that did not match their age, and fell to the ground to salute.

"Get up, get up, you are the guests invited by the official, there is no need to do this", Tang Cheng waved his hand to the others with a smile after lifting Li Nong with a strong hand, seeing that they were still a little restrained and did not dare to get up, he turned his head and said: "What are you doing in a daze, don't help the guests up quickly", the tolerance team immediately stepped forward to help the farmers and carpenters up when they heard this.

After helping Li Nong, Tang Cheng did not let go, so he took his arm and led the way to the big tent in front of him. It's just that they don't know the discomfort brought by this "blessing" to Li Nong, the blood is surging, the head is dizzy, and the feet are still floating as if they can't even walk, and the short distance of twenty or thirty steps has made him have a solid layer of putty sweat on his vest, which is more tiring than doing farm work for a while.

The county magistrate didn't say nonsense, the big tent was really ready, the hot silver charcoal fire, the hot boiling water, all the way to the bitter cold, the boiling water washed and then sat and roasted the fire, not to mention how comfortable the taste was.

After Li Nong and the others finished washing and resting, the county magistrate, who had changed into civilian clothes, walked in with some other farmers and carpenters who had arrived early

, It is the hot wine syrup that fills the bowl, and Tang Cheng personally participates in leading the T7 atmosphere, and the temperature is not lower than that in the tent.

That is, at the reception banquet, Li Nong and others showed that the county magistrate who had read a big book actually understood the work in the field, what to plant in what season, and how to pick up in the field to better retain water and fertilizer...... The piles are not at all layman's.

Xu was because Tang Cheng changed his official clothes, or because the topic he picked up and said could resonate with the peasants the most, under the stimulation of the wine syrup, Li Nong and the others slowly relaxed their restraint and began to speak boldly, until the final reception banquet was about to disperse, and the atmosphere in the tent had reached the most.

During this period, some peasants asked the county magistrate why they came to them with the strength of wine, but Tang Cheng did not answer directly, but only smiled and said that everyone will know it with their own eyes tomorrow.

After the feast, Li Nong and the others were placed in different tents to rest, although their eyelids were already drunk, but the excitement in their hearts made them reluctant to sleep.

These two days, especially tonight, have been like a dream! Who would have thought that the new county order that killed the Xi people like cutting melons was so young, and he was so kind to them, the village was clumsy, and after the praise that he learned on weekdays was finished, he mostly used his tongue to express his indescribable admiration, and for a while, the sound of tsk in the entire tent was endless.

Then everyone naturally began to guess the intention of the county magistrate to invite them, but they had no clue to think about it, and finally Li Nong summed up everyone's thoughts with a ruthless sentence, "We have no other skills, so we will do our best, as long as the county magistrate does not dislike it, we will do it for him."

After sleeping well, after getting up the next morning and eating two steamed buns with thick mutton soup, Li Nong and the others only felt that the strength on their bodies was rising outward, and they couldn't wait for the county commander to immediately assign work, and everyone threw off their arms to do him.

After eating, there was no movement on the side of the county magistrate, and everyone did not dare to ask, so they could only sit in the tent while roasting the silver charcoal fire while waiting, until more than an hour later, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and some peasants came to the door to look, and saw a burly middle-aged man in armor with more than ten guards into the camp.

It didn't take long for a rumor to spread that the prefectural magistrate had invited you.

The county commander and the middle-aged soldier who came just now were already standing outside, and after Li Nong and the others walked out of the tent, Tang Cheng didn't say much, and after smiling at everyone, he walked outside the camp in the opposite direction first.

The two of them were in front, Li Nong and the others followed behind, and after walking about three pillars of incense, a sudden front of Yamagen appeared in front, and the county commander who walked in front stopped after bypassing Yamagen, and the man in military armor he was accompanying suddenly did not move, looking at his stiff posture as if he was startled by something.

Seeing this, Li Nong and the others, who had been holding back all the way, were even more puzzled, and immediately followed around with three steps and two steps, and then, the whole team suddenly stopped like a soldier, so many people gathered together but there was no sound at all, everyone just looked fixedly at the hillside that was blocked by the roots of the mountain just now, and after a while, the heavy panting suddenly became louder.

This blocked hillside is no different from most of the hillsides in Longmen County, the only difference is that the land on this slope is not the kind of land that farmers have been accustomed to for thousands of years, and it has long been recognized as a natural run...... Flat ground!

A piece of mountain stone is built into a dam, and after the dam is filled with soil, it becomes a half-moon-shaped field, such a half-moon-shaped field is repaired all the way up from the bottom of the slope, and the upper and lower are connected, and the fields are connected, just like a ladder, and the whole small hill is covered with clear order, so there is a piece of flat field that everyone sees in front of them.

"This terraced field can not only protect soil and water, but also protect fertilizer, if you build a pond or set up a high drum car to lead the water uphill, you are not afraid of even the drought", after pointing out the benefits of the terraces to Jia Duwei beside him, Tang Cheng turned around and asked with a smile: "Is Jia Duwei still satisfied with such a field?" ”。

Before Jia Zixing could answer, a person suddenly rushed out of the team behind them and ran towards the first-level terraced fields not far ahead, and when Tang Cheng looked carefully, this person was the old farmer he had personally helped from the mule yesterday evening.

Li Nong ran hard, and at this moment he only had this slope of flat fields in his mind, but this kind of regular flat fields could only be seen in dreams before, but now they really appeared in front of him.

A dream, a dream that has become a reality!
