Chapter 694: Out of Pocket

"Mayor Town, may I ask what you have found in the livestock industry here? I think the terrain here is quite flat, and the fresh grass is also fat and juicy. ”

As soon as he heard this, the mayor of the town, who was still frowning and dancing with a happy face, seemed to be drained of his strength all of a sudden, and the smile on his face disappeared, just shaking his head and sighing.

"The mayor of the town has any difficulties, a few of us are here to solve the development problem of Beiling Town, and the mayor of the town just knows everything if there are any difficulties."

Looking at the mayor like this, Song Yunshu guessed that there must be something in this Beiling town that she didn't know anything about hindering the development here.

"It's not a very good situation here, but there's some plump/juicy grass, and if that's the case, the animals won't starve to death."

With his brows furrowed slightly, Chu Yuchen and Song Yunshu glanced at each other.

Beiling Town was originally an area where animal husbandry has been cultivated for generations, but in recent years, I don't know what the reason is, and I have begun to report poverty continuously, asking the imperial court to send people to govern it.

"Looks like we've been deceived by the appearance that we've just come in."

Looking around, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a rich and developed livestock area, and Chu Yuchen also feels that something is wrong.

"Let's go straight to the ground and see how it goes, maybe it's not as bad as we thought."

Although Chu Yuchen opened his mouth to comfort him like this, when Chu Yuchen and Song Yunshu were led by the mayor of Beiling Town, they were not very optimistic about the so-called place where cattle and sheep vegetation grow.

The scene here is in stark contrast to the way they entered the entrance of Beiling Town, where can they still see any fat and juicy fresh grass, everywhere there are weeds with withered yellow leaves, which are still being snatched by the people, and more on this land is completely bare and cracked land.

This place can be described as a depression, and it is not at all obvious that hundreds of years ago this was a place for the royal family to feed war horses, import and export horses, cattle and sheep tens of thousands of heads.

"How so?"

Squatting down, Song Yunshu's white fingers pinched the dry soil on the ground and gently kneaded it, it was extremely dry and hard, without any moisture and softness at all.

After visiting, Song Yunshu and Chu Yuchen walked for more than ten kilometers, but they didn't see a single place with green vegetation, and all of them were withered yellow hay and exposed dry cracked ground within the visual range of their eyes.

Such an environment is not very good for animal husbandry, and it can be said that it is very bad.

The local residents have been herding cattle and horses for a living, and there are almost no other means of survival and management, and now the vegetation environment is much worse than before, they are also conformist, barely maintaining the ration of cattle and sheep, and those who cannot eat food can only still starve to death.

However, after coming here for a walk, Song Yunshu also found an interesting scene.

When she was passing by just now, she saw two aunts fighting for hay, and among the people who came and went, Song Yunshu noticed that she didn't see a young man coming out to help with the work.

"Mayor of the town, why don't you see young people here here coming out to help with the work?"

At this question, the mayor sighed heavily, and then said seriously, "Don't mention it, young people nowadays like to go to work in the bustling and lively places in the city, where is anyone willing to stay here to raise cattle and horses!" ”

As it turned out, the original vegetation was seriously damaged, which should be the reason for the excessive grazing and breeding before and neglected the protection of vegetation.

Coupled with the loss of young and middle-aged laborers, few people were able to do such physically demanding loose soil irrigation, and under the vicious circle, over time it became what it is today.

After knowing the reason, Song Yunshu and Chu Yuchen returned to the post station and prepared to discuss countermeasures.

"Do you have any ideas? I see you've been frowning all the way, looking very preoccupied. ”

After entering the post station, Song Yunshu still looked like he didn't know, his brows were furrowed, and he supported his face with one hand, pondering.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Song Yunshu reply, Chu Yuchen knew that Song Yunshu hadn't heard him talk to her at all, so he tapped the table with his knuckles a few times, and then pulled Song Yunshu back from the fugue.

"Ah, what's the matter, what did you say?"

"I mean, what do you think, I'd like to hear your opinion first."

Glancing at the scrawny horses tied to the door, Song Yunshu said, "I want to see the county seat and see the bustling and lively place where all their young people are going." ”

"By the way, meet their county magistrate who is not in his position?" Chu Yuchen raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!"

After the two summed it up, they said goodbye to the old mayor of Beiling Town the next day, and followed the people arranged by the old mayor to the county seat.

And the county Cheng had naturally heard the names of Song Yunshu and Chu Yuchen a long time ago, and knew that Song Yunshu had changed a lot everywhere he went, which could bring the dying dry city back to life, so when he heard that she was coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet her.

And this time, Song Yunshu didn't bother to investigate what small actions this county had violated the law and discipline, and went straight to the point to talk to him about the development of animal husbandry in Beiling Town.

"Tsk, if you want to say that this problem in Beiling Town has been a long time, it's just that the lower officials are also more than willing and not enough, and they must have the mind to govern, but they don't know how to start!"

Looking at this county, Cheng is also honest, not like the kind of person who can play tricks, on the way to Song Yunshu and Chu Yuchen, they did see a lot of young people swaying in this county, and even a large part of them have nothing to do.

"I have a countermeasure, but I need the county lord to cooperate with me."

The countermeasure Song Yunshu said is to encourage those young people stranded in the city to return to their hometowns and promote local development with their own efforts.

The way is good, but the young man who finally left and ran to the county seat, how could he willingly return to that poor country?

Let's listen to Song Yunshu and talk about it carefully.

"Even if these young people have nothing to do in the county, they are probably not willing to go back to their hometowns to help with the construction. But who in this world will not get along with money, as long as we let them go back to their hometown to breed cattle and sheep in the name of reward, there will definitely be temptation, once someone starts this, then there will definitely be people who choose to follow. ”

Chu Yuchen nodded silently, secretly admiring Song Yunshu's mind in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Song Yunshu could think of such a good solution, but I am afraid that the county will have some scruples.

"Lord Song, His Royal Highness King Mu, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling to comply, it's just that the income of this county town is very small, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill my promise for a while, and when the people can't fulfill it, won't no one be willing to do it anymore!"

Although the solution is feasible, how should we find a way to make it work with this capital turnover?

"I can give them a part of the money as a reward, and it will be easier to turn around when it happens."

As soon as he heard this, Song Yunshu turned his head to look at Chu Yuchen who was beside him.

With Chu Yuchen's words, the biggest other problem was also solved, and the county naturally agreed with a smile on his face.
