Zhao Mo is very worried now, the Xie family has come to urge Xie Jiayi and Zhao Ling'er to marry again, but he doesn't want to agree too early, because he got inside information, the Xie family was involved in the case of Lai Mingjie in Xinning County, what the result will be is not easy to say, directly refuse and fear of tearing up the face with the Xie family, and now more than 2,000 people surnamed Xie have entered Mingzhou, and the soldiers are well-armed, what is the Xie family going to do? The situation in Mingzhou is worrying!!

Zhao Mo decided to go to Xinning, firstly, because he missed Ling'er, and secondly, because he took the opportunity to avoid the Xie family's door-to-door courtship.

Chou'er and Zhao Ling'er went to the dock, and Di Feng, who was idle, was fishing alone in the newly dug moat outside Xinning City, the so-called moat was just a branch of the Furong River, passing around Xinning, which also gave Xinning an additional natural barrier, Di Feng just let people take advantage of the drought to renovate the river when the water level dropped.

Sitting under an ancient acacia tree by the river, Di Feng skillfully shook out the hook with the earthworm, and the float made of goose feathers slowly stood still after a whirlpool on the water surface, just a moment of effort, only to see the float shake a little, and then it was pulled into the water violently, Di Feng raised his wrist, the fishing rod became an arch, the fishing line was tightened tightly, the breeze blew on the whining sound, and the shaking of the fish under the water surface was transmitted along the fishing line to Di Feng's hand, "Obediently, fortunately, the fishing rod was baked with Hsinchu, Otherwise, the rod will be suffocated this time, and this feeling must be a big thing."

After a while, Di Feng felt that the underwater fish gradually stopped struggling, so he slowly rowed the S-shape, slipped the fish to the shore, and saw that it was actually a largemouth catfish weighing more than two catties, this catfish is fierce and carnivorous fish, the fish hook and the earthworm have been swallowed into the stomach by it, if you want to retrieve the hook, you can only disembowel the catfish, fortunately Di Feng made a number of fish hooks by himself, cut the fishing line, and put the catfish in the bamboo basket; Di Feng tied the hook again and continued fishing.

Or the ancient ecological environment is good, this white river is not like the later generations, has not been polluted, not to mention the types of fish, eating hooks is more frequent, there is no need to make a nest at all, as long as the hook enters the water, the fish drift will react immediately, it only took half an hour, Di Feng's bamboo basket has been filled with more than a dozen fish species of various sizes and colors; Di Feng was interested in today's harvest, only to see the fish drift fiercely blackened, and then before Di Feng could lift the rod, the fishing line was straightened, and the fish under the water swam straight to the deep water with the buzzing sound of the fishing line, "This is big!" Di Feng hurriedly stabilized the fishing rod and lifted it, feeling that the strength of the fish in the water was too great, he didn't dare to lift it hard, so he had to slowly bring it to his side tightly and loosely; After holding on for a few minutes, Di Feng finally lifted the fishing rod and made it into an arch, as long as the fishing rod arched and the fish in the water were a little more careful, they could always slip up.

"It's such a delicate fishing rod, you can't do it this way, you have to loosen the line...... Right............ Fast...... Hold on to the force,...... It's outcropping...... What a big catfish".

Di Feng was screaming with the fish in the water, I don't know when a person came from behind, this person seemed to be also a fishing friend, and when he came to Di Feng, he began to guide Di Feng to fish. Although the noisy people were upset, they should not be young when they heard the sound, and Di Feng was not easy to reprimand, so he had to endure his annoyance and slip the fish to the shore under the guidance of later generations.

This is a giant catfish weighing more than a dozen pounds, the head and feet are the size of a baby, to the shallow water that is full of thin teeth of the big mouth exposed to the surface of the water can not help opening and closing, Di Feng liked to fish before crossing, the wild catfish is so big or the first time to see, the excitement in my heart also forgot the annoyance of the noise of the people behind him, and the head did not look back happily to the person behind him and said: "There is a friend of Lao, help Di take a small stone, this fish is too big, as soon as it comes out of the water, it will break the fishing line, Di will first knock it out, in the salvage."

"Okay, you hold on, I'll go get the stone" The person behind him responded, leaned over and picked up a stone and handed it to Di Feng.

Di Feng took the stone, poured internal force and shook his hand, the stone flew out of the head of the catfish exposed to the water in the middle, the catfish was under Di Feng's blow, and the yellowed belly was flipped out in time, and the people behind Di Feng saw it and praised it, "Good kung fu!" He hurriedly ran forward, grabbed the gills of the fish, and dragged the fish out of the water.

"Good boy, if this catfish were stewed eggplant, how delicious it would be!" Di Feng couldn't help but marvel when he saw the giant catfish coming ashore. In later generations, there is a proverb "Ayu stewed eggplant, angry old man", but I don't know if this Xinning has eggplant.

"That's right, although this catfish is ugly and hideous, but it is a rare delicious ingredient, I remember that there are clouds in the "Book of Food"; The main deficiency of catfish is insufficient, the skin is plump, and the meat is delicate, which is a good product for women's postpartum food therapy and nourishment, but it is not suitable to eat more. Xiao Langjun, where did your catfish stewed eggplant come from? How come so-and-so has never heard of it? ”

Di Feng didn't expect that the words behind him were not only as fond of fishing as he was, but also a foodie like himself, not only a foodie but also a foodie, and he actually had to study the origin of the stewed fish, and Di Feng couldn't help but look at this "talkative uncle" curiously.

At the age of more than fifty, he has a bun on his head, a golden hairpin is inserted horizontally in the bun, his body is a good Shu brocade robe, and his feet are soap-soled boots.

"Thank you for your help, don't you know? It's round...... Such a big ...... Purple skin" Di Feng was polite, and explained the eggplant with the person in front of him.

This person looked at Di Feng while explaining and making a comparison, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha~~~ I know, what are you talking about?" Well, I also remembered that the Northland called Luosuduo eggplant, but this catfish stewed eggplant is really delicious? ”

"That's natural, this catfish can go ashore, and you also have your credit, if you don't dislike it, go back with me in a while, and I'll make it for you to eat" Di Feng saw that this person was dressed with an extraordinary temperament, and expected that his identity should be unusual, with multiple friends and many roads, Di Feng had the idea of making friends, and asked: "I don't know what to call a friend?" ”

"Ben...... I, surnamed Zhao, Zhao Guozhen"

"Oh, in Xia Di Feng, it is fate to meet you, Di Mou sees that Your Excellency is also proficient in the way of weeping, I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to fish here again with Di?" Di Feng said, pointing to the fishing rod, "I still have a set of spare ones, if you want to, you can go and get it yourself."

"So very good, I see that your fishing skills are already itching, so you're welcome" Zhao Guozhen was really polite, as he spoke, he went over to get the fishing rod and found a comfortable place to sit down.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Brother Di's fishhook is exquisitely made, from small to big, it can be seen that Brother Di is a thoughtful person."

Di Feng and Zhao Guozhen chatted while fishing, and talked about the disaster in Qianzhou from the fishing heart, and talked about the people's livelihood from the disaster in Qianzhou.

"Brother Zhao has won the award, this is just a game to kill time, it is true to say that Di is not doing his job."

"I don't think it's possible to do a good job, it's not difficult for those who can do it, and it can't be for those who are difficult, this Xinning is thriving under the governance of Brother Di, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and you can still have this free time to go fishing, it can be seen that governing a county should be as simple as child's play for you, Brother Di is talented, if you give you a state to govern, I'm afraid it's not difficult, right?"

"Governing a county and governing a state is different, Di has no talent, but Di knows a truth, people's hearts are moving together, and the most important thing to govern a place is "cohesion"; Xinning's population is only 5,000, and it is not difficult to unite these people, once the hearts of the people are united, there is nothing that cannot be done in Xinning. But the population of a state is so large that it is difficult to unite the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to do so unless the ruler is expected by all; When it comes to what everyone wants, the more barren the land, the easier it is to do, and the richer the land, the harder it is to do."

"What do you mean by that?"

"In this barren land, as long as you can bring a little benefit to the local people, the people will never forget you, because they have suffered for too long, and the appeal becomes simple, and this simple appeal is nothing more than to be able to live, which is not difficult to do; And in the rich land, the people are rich, and the desire will increase with the rich life, and the desire for a big appeal will be higher, their appeal is not to live but how to live better, and it is difficult to meet the demands of these people! Di Mou used the simplicity of the victims' demands to unite people's hearts. ”

Zhao Guozhen listened to Di Feng's words and fell into deep thought; Di Feng looked at Zhao Guozhen savoring his words, and even the fish were busy eating the hook, and he thought to himself, "Are you talking too much, this Zhao Guozhen seems to always bring topics to local governance, and I don't know his depth before, I can't say more, now Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are fighting in secret, who knows which side of this Zhao Guozhen is."

Thinking of this, Di Feng interrupted Zhao Guozhen's contemplation, "Brother Zhao, our harvest is about the same, why don't we go back and cook these catches, how about you and I have a drink?" ”

Zhao Guozhen looked at a basket full of fish, and replied happily: "Very good!" ”

The two walked to the county government together, and along the way, Zhao Guozhen was like a curious baby, and he had to ask everything he saw.

"Where are these people going with their livestock?"

"Our Xinning big livestock are managed in a unified manner, and the county government has local and manpower to help the people raise these big livestock, and the people can apply for the breeding center if they need it." This breeding center was built by Di Feng after the communes of later generations.

"Don't you need money to use livestock?"

"The families who provide livestock do not need it, the poor only need to pay a certain amount of forage, and those who do not provide livestock and are middle peasants need to pay a certain amount of grain."

"What's the place for those people with chickens to go in and out?"

"It's a chicken farm, the chickens are distributed for free, and when it's time to lay eggs, the chicken farm will go to the farm to collect the eggs." The chicken farm is the model of the agricultural cooperatives that Di Feng modeled on in later generations.

"Are those soaps?"

"No, that's the patrol team, it's the people's spontaneous volunteers, responsible for helping people solve problems"

"Those ........................"

Zhao Guozhen's question was asked all the way to the backyard of the county government before stopping, and he was already impressed by Di Feng's whimsy.
