This time, Shi Lei went down for a turn, and the treatment he received was different from before, not only those villagers, but also many ordinary villagers saw him, as if they had seen their relatives. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is not difficult to understand, just look at the fields full of potatoes, as well as the happy busy figures of the villagers, and how can not be hidden, in fact, there is no intention to hide the smile, you can understand why they are so enthusiastic.

With so many potatoes here, the villagers can finally experience what it is like to eat until they are struggling. I heard that the villagers did a lot of ideological work for the villagers, so that they must not eat too many potatoes at one time. After all, this thing is a kind of coarse grain, not so easy to digest, and it is really porcelain in the stomach.

The villagers had not only seen the harvest of potatoes in Shi Lei's place before, knew the high yield of this thing, and also enjoyed the delicious taste of the whole potato feast produced by the Shi family, and inevitably ate them, but they had experienced how anti-hunger this thing was, and their stomachs were swollen all day, so they had a warning to the villagers.

This is also the last time Shi Lei came down to inspect, he once instructed them to pay attention to things, for fear that some villagers would let go of eating for the first time and then support themselves to death.

Don't think that there is no such possibility, the grain production here before was called a desolation, the villagers can drink gruel and order pickles, that is a solid family, there is elm money and rice can be satisfied, are the envy of most villagers.

Most of the time, more people can only eat bran vegetables, carefully watching the little food in their hands, so that the family can barely survive until the next grain harvest.

And now the yield of potatoes per mu is easily a few thousand catties, not only ten times the original grain, they finally have this confidence, they can eat a full meal with confidence, it is really easy to burst their appetite with limited digestion.

The more these farmers have experienced hardships, the more they understand what such an output means to them, that is, the life of a family. So Shi Lei walked down this way, and it was inevitable that he could often see the simple villagers kneeling to him.

The iron hooves and steel knives of the alien race will not let them bend their backs, let alone make them kneel, but they sincerely kneel for Shi Lei, just to be able to truly express their gratitude.

Although he can't see their kneeling style, Shi Lei is still very happy that his deeds are recognized, this sense of achievement is not quite the same as killing the enemy on the battlefield, it is probably a bit like taking his own farmers, the satisfaction after really living a good life.

When there was really a township and his Shi Lei's ancestral hall was built, his enthusiasm for the job of Pingzhou Governor reached an unparalleled new height.

When you put yourself into the work, time always flies very quickly. I don't feel like I have experienced the ups and downs of my tenure, Shi Lei's term of office is over like this!

A few years have passed in a flash, and the family members who are far away in Chang'an have also taken the time to visit Shi Lei several times during the period, especially a few leather boys, all of whom have come to Pingzhou, and Shi Lei even took them to Lulongsai and witnessed the cruelty of the war. I heard that after they went back, they all had some good changes, even if it was not in vain Shi Lei's thoughts.

However, what really satisfied him was that he did a lot of practical things for all the villagers under his rule in Pingzhou with a clear conscience, and the originally planned development strategies were implemented by Shi Lei one by one.

First, there was a large-scale promotion of potatoes, and it didn't take too long, that is, after two crops of potatoes were harvested, basically everyone was able to fill their stomachs. Even because of the demonstration of Pingzhou people, potato planting has been spread out in the entire Youzhou range.

Of course, Shi Lei's original request to the villagers also asked Zhang Shigui to ask everyone below, and raw potatoes are not allowed to go out of the Tang border! It's an iron law.

When the stomach problem is solved, I have the strength to think about other things, and there are caravans from the Shi family and other noble families to revitalize the market, and the trade here in Pingzhou has slowly developed.

Of course, the share of the slave trade is also quite large, and there are even brave northland men who simply go to the territory of the Hu people outside the customs to kidnap some Hu men and women and come back to sell.

Fortunately, Shi Lei has already explained that everyone should try to choose those tribes that are not friendly with Datang in the first place, and those who are interested in Datang should not be harmed.

Although on the side of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no so-called "unauthorized provocation" of the Song Dynasty, which is a matter of using literature and military to control the military, but it is not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty to make a mess of the border of the Tang Dynasty and lose the hearts of all foreign races, so it is still necessary to be restrained.

After all, this practice of the slave trade, more importantly, is to use the power of private trade and use rich profits to stimulate more people to exploit the enemy, which is a strategy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, not Shi Lei's trick to support himself.

He hasn't reached that point yet, he just wants to retreat from the business point in Pingzhou, but he doesn't plan to really turn this place into his own territory, or similar to the Jiedu Envoy, and run this place into his own independent kingdom.

However, the aliens are not all stupid, either they are angered by the slave traders who do no business, or they see the interests of the caravans, anyway, they can't help but organize people and horses, and they want to fight a few battles on the side of Pingzhou.

It's a pity that after having Shi Lei in charge, their intentions were helplessly bankrupt in the end, and most of their teams were also disabled by Shi Lei and his subordinates, and even some tribes simply disappeared in the long river of history, and disappeared without any waves.

With a few victories at the bottom, the morale of the entire Pingzhou people has been lifted, and they feel that with such a fierce man as Shi Lei in charge, they have become fearless.

This person's heart is settled, and the development of people's livelihood is more guaranteed. The most intuitive reaction is that in the past few years of Shi Lei's tenure, there have been many more newborns in Pingzhou, as well as newcomers who have come to settle down, than in previous years, and they are still showing a trend of increasing year by year, and even many of the original runaways have run back.

In this way, the population on Pingzhou's books is rising gradually, and once again in Shi Lei's examination book, it has added a lot of color to him.

And those Shi Lei's ancestral halls that are almost all over the places under Pingzhou have become an additional plus, which fully shows how popular Shi Lei is in this place.

In general, he has done a very good job in this term, whether it is military or people's livelihood, he can be regarded as handing in a brilliant answer sheet, and successfully conquered the picky guy from the examination department.

I heard that Shi Lei was leaving, and there were many villagers who spontaneously came to see him off. They may not have too expensive gifts, and some even came with only some potatoes, but they were indeed a heavy friendship, which made Shi Lei's whole heart warm.

In the end, there were a few village elders who sent a book of ten thousand words together, and that thought let Shi Lei continue to stay in Pingzhou and lead everyone to live a better life.

The subordinate of the Examination Division next to him took it, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Lei with some surprise. I thought that this Shi Lei was just a simple general, but I didn't expect that he was also a good hand in governing the local area, and he could do it so deeply in the hearts of the people, it was really unseemly.

It's just that he and Shi Lei both understand that although the villagers' intentions are good, if there is really such a 10,000-word book handed over, the more unlikely it is that Shi Lei will be successfully retained. The emperor also didn't want Pingzhou to become Shi Lei's own place, only knew that there was Shi Lei, but he didn't know that there was Datang.

But Shi Lei will definitely not say this, although he has too much nostalgia and ties here in Pingzhou, but in the final analysis, his roots are still in Chang'an, where there are his real family, his wife and children. Pingzhou is just a passerby, and Chang'an is homecoming.

Therefore, although he also has too much reluctance to Pingzhou and the sorrow of parting, his mind still can't help but run to Chang'an, to his wife and children, and his heart is like an arrow.
