"If that's the case, it's easy." Seeing that Chen Ping did not have high requirements for his master, Chen Yuanliang nodded, his family has his own industry, and he is registered in the city, and Chen Yuanliang does not have much prejudice against businessmen, earning money, being able to eat and clothe warmly, it is the right reason, "It's just that this is the busy farming, and the labor still needs to wait for some time." ”

Similar to ditches and roads, the repair of houses in the county, and the paving of bridges, most of these county official affairs are free labor.

"Paying wages is, there are always people who are willing." Chen Ping didn't think about calling for labor in vain, "From now on, the labor in the county needs to be paid." There is a temporary shortage of money in the county treasury, so at least it is necessary to manage the food, and it cannot be for people to work in vain. ”

To get rich, relying on traditional agriculture will definitely not work. The development of handicrafts and construction can stimulate the economy and drive the people in the county from poor households to upper households.

As a county magistrate, an official of the imperial court, he has policy advantages, and Chen Ping is familiar with some ways to make money.

There are more than 7,000 households, one flat household and one dingzhuang, and there are 7,000 dingfu. Chen Ping will not let go of the opportunity to give favors and win the hearts of the people.

"Don't do day jobs? So where did the money come from? Chen Yuanliang asked, "The matter of private taxation cannot be moved. ”

"Didn't you get a thousand taels of silver in the treasury? The money left in the treasury is only a piece of broken iron after all, and only when it is used can it be benefited. Chen Ping never considered the excessive taxation, Chen Ping was so anxious to sign a contract with Liu Zumao, in order to use this should be used in the county, "Another point is that the people who enter the school are only slightly guided, and the poems, books, scriptures, and arithmetic must be selected according to their preferences, and they will be taught according to their aptitude." ”

Chen Ping is not to cultivate elegant people, but practical people are what he needs.

"You first search for a candidate for the master, and in a while I will give you something, and I will do it according to that." Chen Ping does not plan to be sloppy in the construction of township schools, site selection, curriculum and other things need to be considered, it is best to make a plan, this takes time, Chen Ping also needs to understand the population distribution of the townships in the county, and then combine it with the plan.

"Okay, no problem." This cousin always has an amazing move, although Chen Yuanliang is not clear about some places, but he also believes Chen Ping, he didn't continue to ask, so he answered, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you haven't returned to the village for a few days, and the second uncle and aunt are all in a hurry, and they are looking for someone to inquire at my house in the past two days." Now that you're familiar with the things in the county, let's take a break and go back. ”

"Yes." Chen Ping nodded, it was time to go back.

But why didn't Grandpa and Niang let people come directly to the county to find themselves? Do you have to go to your uncle's house first?

Chen Ping's own horse was placed in the stable in the backyard, and out of the side hall, Chen Ping instructed Bai Zhi at the door: "Zhuangshi, go and lead a horse over, I want to go back to Baitu Village." ”

Although Liu Zhuangshi's name has the word "strong", his body is not tall, or even thin, and he is like most people from peasant families, and his complexion is dark. But this person looked honest, so Chen Ping asked him to stay outside the door and wait.

"Okay." Liu Zhuangshi answered, that is, he was going to the backyard stable, walked a few steps, heard Chen Ping coughing behind him, then stopped again, and looked back, "What else does the county order command?" ”

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Chen Ping asked, seeing Liu Zhuangshi shaking his head, he said, "Donkeys should always be able to ride, right?" Then he took another donkey out and accompanied me back to the village. ”

After a while, when Liu Zhuangshi came back, he led a horse, two donkeys, and another Bai Zhi followed Liu Zhuangshi.

"The county order travels, you have to bring more people, I was afraid that there would not be enough people, so I called Xia Liang." Liu Zhuang said.

According to Chen Ping's meaning, it is better to have fewer people, but seeing Xia Liang's appearance, begging with hope, Chen Ping sighed: "Okay, let's go." ”

"Thank you for the prefectural order." Xia Liang's restrained and worried expression relaxed, and he was busy saluting and thanking him, so he took the reins first and went out of the county gate to wait.

Three people, one horse and two donkeys, led all the way, when they went out of the county gate, Chen Ping turned over and got on the horse, and Liu Zhuangshi and Xia Liang, who followed all the way, followed by the donkey.

"The county order is benevolent." Xia Liang didn't forget to pat his ass.

Lifting the reins, Chen Ping and the three of them went straight to Baitu Village.

Before entering the village, when I arrived at the fields in the east of the village, I heard a roar.

"The Chen family has returned to the village." This is the people in the village, who are hoeing on the ground, looked up and saw Chen Ping on the horse, shouted, and then threw away the farm tools in his hand and ran to the village, "The Chen family is back, the Chen family is ...... No, Chen County ordered him back to the village. ”

After a while, a group of people gathered in the open space in the east of the village, men and women, old and young, and the whole village actually gathered around.

"Chen Jialang, are you really a county magistrate now?" A villager asked suspiciously.

"The Chen County Order was personally granted by the emperor, can this still be fake?" Xia Liang's eyes widened, glared at the man, and replied.

"That's great, Brother Ping has been benevolent since he was a child, and this is a blessing in my village as a county order." Chen's lame grandfather, Chen Shugen said happily, "I also heard from him when my son returned, I thought he was a madman, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

The villagers surrounded Chen Ping and kept talking, with a smile on their faces, and they were sincerely happy for Chen Ping.

Most of the guys in the customer inn are from Baitu Village, and in the past few months, they have brought back a lot of silver money for their families, alleviating the use of silver money at home, and this silver money can be available every ten years.

Take Chen Shugen as an example, in the past, he couldn't even buy a good robe, but at this time, he was wearing a decent robe, and not a single patch could be seen.

greeted the surrounding villagers, and then Chen Ping entered his own house.

In the courtyard, Liu was holding a kettle, watering the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and the little lady Chen Zhen was running in the courtyard, chasing the little flowers.

"Mother, I'm back." Chen Pingdao.

"Pull back? Well, go and rest quickly, and when my mother finishes watering, I will cook for you. Liu Shi looked back at Chen Ping and said calmly.

"Do more, have two people with me." Chen Ping walked to the verandah and stretched out his hand, "Zhen'er, come to Brother." ”

Xiaohua is much bigger, Chen Zhen can't lift it anymore, at this time she is holding Xiaohua's neck, crawling on Xiaohua's back, listening to Chen Ping's shouting, and turning around.

was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly grinned and ran to Chen Ping: "Brother hug, hug." ”

"Well, the little lady is sinking again, did she take advantage of the fact that my brother was not at home and stole something again?" hugged the little mother, Chen Ping turned back to Liu and said, "Mother, there is no water in your kettle, how can you pour it?" What about Grandpa? When I was outside the village, I still saw my grandfather coming, why did I disappear after a while, did I not return? (To be continued.) )
