All the way south, Du He followed Ling Chenbing to Wannian County.

Du He went to the affected inn first to investigate, as he expected, the inn was not very damaged, but during the fight, he dropped a few tables and stools, Ling Chenbing slightly exaggerated when describing.

However, the shopkeeper was injured a little, but it was not very serious, mainly because of Jin Yuedong's back injury.

Du He gave them all the money awarded by the government and let them deal with it at their own leisure.

Du He, who worked hard for such trivial matters, personally inquired about it, and the shopkeeper and the victims were all moved.

Du He has always been kind to these people, and after appeasing them, he went to his house with Ling Chenbing.

Ling Chenbing's home is a simple thatched hut in the county.

The house is simple but cleanly dressed, and the furnishings inside are also neat, Du He nodded uncontrollably, and secretly admired in his heart: a person's character can be seen from his personal life.

Ling Chenbing was alone at home, but his home was so neat and tidy, and there was no mess at all, which showed that he was serious and rigorous in handling things, and he was a reliable person.

Ling Chenbing asked Du He to sit down, took an account book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Du He.

Du He sat on the mat and took the account book, and read it carefully, ten pieces of paper before and after, and he flipped through it three times. The account books were full of red and red deficits, and the twenty silver cakes that Du He gave him to develop his livelihood in the territory were clean and penny.

You must know that twenty silver cakes are worth 80,000 yuan in the future.

Ling Chenbing served as the acting housekeeper for a full 80,000 yuan in two months, and if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely scold him for being a loser.

But Du He's expression was moved, the usefulness of his twenty taels of silver cakes was clearly recorded in the account books, Ling Chenbing used every one of his articles on the blade, and made a big reform for the county.

Every reform is based on the people's livelihood, how to make the people more convenient, how to make the people more prosperous and strong, Du He himself is a little breathtaking, and suddenly feels that the trust is not human.

He is a landlord, and there are two ways for this landlord to make money: the simplest is to squeeze the people's hard-earned money like Zhou Papi, which is the fastest and of course the most risky. The other is to improve the people's livelihood, the people are rich and strong, and the money they earn more, and the taxes they get will naturally increase, which is exactly what benefits others and themselves.

Although it looks like there are deficits on the books, these deficits are like investments, and they are smart investments. For example, out of the twenty taels, ten taels are used to dig ditches and divert water.

After the Spring Festival, Ling Chenbing mobilized the people in the early stage of spring ploughing, led a branch into the field, and irrigated 300 acres of fields in one fell swoop. If there is no accident, the 300 acres of land will inevitably be a bumper harvest this year, and when the settlement is made at the end of the year, the investment money will naturally be earned back with interest.

There are others that are also used in key areas, such as road repair, such as cleaning sewage, etc., which are all essential things.

In just over two months, Ling Chenbing has achieved such an achievement, and sure enough, Du He immediately smiled and said: "From now on, I will officially see that this one-third of an acre of land will be taken care of by you." ”

Ling Chenbing was not surprised, and smiled calmly: "Chen Bing thanked my lord!" ”

Du He glanced at him and said, "You don't seem to be surprised at all, and you don't feel worried?" ”

Ling Chenbing replied confidently: "If the adults can't see the key to this ledger, it can only mean that the adults have no foresight, and if the adults see the key to this ledger, but don't need to do it, it can only mean that the adults can't use their talents." If the adult is really the above two types of characters, he will not be able to achieve a career by following the adult, and he will be willing to leave, and he will have to worry about it. Now that the adults have agreed to appoint them, it can be seen that they can be recognized by the adults, and they don't need to be surprised. ”

Du He smiled slightly: "What I said is the truth, if you don't need to let people like you go, I really can't argue." I will give you fifty silver cakes when I turn around, you continue to reform according to your ideas, don't be afraid of losses, but give me results! ”

"Yes!" Ling Chenbing replied confidently.

"Accompany me to the county, I have the first chance to see my land!" Duhe stood up and walked out of the house.

Ling Chenbing followed behind him and introduced him to the people of this fiefdom.

Duhe was named a county, and the actual population was 100 households, so the scope of the fief was not large, just a big village, but fortunately, it was located near Chang'an, with the prosperous atmosphere of Chang'an, and the people were still quite rich.

From the head of the village to the end of the village, it only took a moment to walk.

An old woman walked over, holding two big apples in her hands and said with a smile: "Chen Bing, this year's apple harvest on the tree in Grandma's backyard is a big harvest, give you and your friends one, you take it and eat!" ”

Ling Chenbing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Grandma Xie, but you can always be mistaken, this is my family...... Duhe, Du-sama. ”

The old woman was shocked when she heard this, the people have always been afraid of officials, not to mention that Du He appeared in front of her for the first time, and she didn't know whether the other party was good or bad.

Ling Chenbing said: "Grandma, don't be surprised, Lord Du has done so many good things for our village, how can he be a bad person?" ”

The old woman was stunned, and then laughed and said, "It turns out that you are Master Du, the old woman Meng Lang." Thanks to my lords, three acres of land in my house have been filled with water, and there will be a good harvest this year! The old woman will go back and bring you a few more apples to taste! ”

Du He said with a smile: "Don't bother my mother-in-law, I will accept this apple of yours, you are busy with your go, don't care about us!" He took an apple from Ling Chenbing's hand and took a bite, it tasted a little sour, but it was quite delicious.

The old woman saw that Du He was so easy-going and left with a smile.

Continue to walk forward, go all the way, the villagers who pass by will greet Ling Chenbing, Du He smiled: "Can't you see, are you quite popular?" ”

Ling Chenbing replied: "They are all villagers in the township, and they usually help each other in difficulties, and the relationship is already good." Later, I was stained with the light of adults, and helped adults do a few things for the benefit of the people and themselves, and they were even more supportive. Adults rarely come to the fiefdom, and everyone is not familiar with adults, so they are a little afraid. But after they understand what adults are, they naturally won't be like this. ”

Du He understood the truth and didn't say much.

"Go out into the field, I want to see your biggest achievement in the past two months!" Du He continued to inspect the fiefdom, came to the field near the village, and praised Ling Chenbing again and again when he saw the ditch attracted by Ling Chenbing.

Walking to the foot of the deepest mountain, there is a green tea field with more than 50 acres of land.

Du He was stunned, and asked without being shocked, "What's going on?" ”

Ling Chenbing also shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this, but I remember when I was a child, my mother told me that thirty years ago, there was a tea merchant who said that this place was the most suitable for growing tea, so these tea fields were cultivated, but later the tea merchant died of illness, this land is located at the foot of a remote mountain, and the soil is not good, so no one cares." It's just that for some reason, these teas are getting better and longer, which is strange. ”

Du He nodded, but didn't say anything.

Just as he was about to return, he saw Luo Tong riding his horse from afar, holding his horse outside Ling Chen's igloo in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Du He greeted him!

"Come with me!" Luo Tong jumped off the horse and dragged him out.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the Green House!"
