Chapter 197: How to be a Tanhualang

Jiang Yifan turned the horse's head and saw Ye Xinyan coming over unhurriedly.

Shi Yu and the scholars followed Ye Xinyan over, and after looking at each other, they quietly slipped off the horse, pulling the reins of the horse and standing behind Jiang Yifan.

"The women have seen Master Jiang." Ye Xinyan stopped a few steps away from Jiang Yifan, gave a perfunctory salute, and asked, "Lord Jiang is here, but is there something?" ”

Jiang Yifan looked at Ye Xinyan condescendingly, and suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Ye Xinyan on the way to his post at the beginning of the year.

At that time, Ye Xinyan also looked up at him like this, and he did not have the usual arrogance of the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, and he still looked unkempt, wearing a patched shabby shirt, and there was still some restraint and crampedness between his words. However, after only a few words, he couldn't hold back his temperament, raised his eyebrows, and almost revealed his true form.

After more than half a year, Ye Xinyan still looked up at him, but he no longer had the depression and embarrassment he had at that time, and he was much calmer.

At this time, although she still did not have the domineering style of the Guogong Mansion, she was not surrounded by ayaluo beads and emeralds, and there were no many maids and servants to guard her. Only a lonely person stood in front of a group of people, but he did not fall behind at all, and it was even more dazzling than in the capital.

Jiang Yifan squinted and looked at Ye Xinyan for a while before asking, "This official remembers that the cattle farm is full of dairy cows, why don't you see that there are not a few cows left in the cattle pen?" ”

Ye Xinyan looked up at Jiang Yifan slightly, feeling that the angle was still too big, and took a few steps back.

Because they were a few steps away, they had to say loudly: "The cows in the cattle farm that produce less than five catties of milk have been pulled out to help the harvest this time." After the autumn harvest, it will also be raised as ordinary farming cattle ......" Ye Xinyan looked at Jiang Yifan's suddenly frowning brows, and her heart turned a little more, and then looked at the county officials behind Jiang Yifan, and swallowed the word "colonization" back.

Jiang Yifan was also relieved to see that Ye Xinyan didn't say the two shocking words in a timely manner. The brows still did not stretch, and he beat in a reproachful tone: "Although Qi Niangzi is in charge of the cattle farm, she is also a woman, and such loud words are really hindering women's morality." ”

Ye Xinyan only raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Yifan, and before she even took a moment, she drooped down again.

What do you think? It's so far away, if my voice is quiet, can you hear it? In this Qingyuan County, your official is not small, but my identity is not bad, since Lord Jiang, you must be on the horse, then you can only be wronged to listen to the loud words of people who have no virtue.

Jiang Yifan didn't get Ye Xinyan's response, so he had to ask again: "Those long-term and short-term workers in the cattle farm have returned to their homes to harvest crops?" Or have you been sent around to look after the cattle? ”

"Back to my lord, those people have been sent everywhere to take care of the cattle. They have done a certain degree of farming at home, and the cattle farm will arrange for them to plough the cattle for a day, so as not to delay the family's farm work. ”

Wang Qiao built a makeshift shed outside the milk storehouse, and he worked in the shed every day.

The cattle farm could be seen very clearly in this place, and he looked at Ye Xinyan alone, facing more than a dozen people in the government on horseback, and suddenly felt a little desolate for this woman. Even if Ye Zi's ability is amazing, she is still a woman after all, and as a woman, Ye Zi has taken on a lot of things alone.

Wang Qiao put down the work in his hand and walked towards Ye Xinyan.

He stopped two steps away from Ye Xinyan, and said to Jiang Yifan: "Xiaomin Wangqiao, I have seen the county magistrate. ”

Jiang Yifan noticed it when Wang Qiao started, he looked at Wang Qiao scrutinically, and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

Wang Qiao straightened up, still arched his hands, and said, "All the lords and officials have worked hard to inspect the farming, but do you want to get off the horse and rest for a while?" Xiaomin can also boil water and make tea for adults and officials. ”

Jiang Yifan heard Wang Qiao's mouth say all the lords and officials, and suddenly realized that there were others behind him, that is to say, there were people behind him who were on the back of the horse and made Ye Xinyan look up.

Jiang Yifan turned around and saw that the county officials and officials behind him were all sitting on horseback, and only the little servant who was serving him was standing on the ground.

He turned back again, and there was only one woman facing so many of them.

Jiang Yifan had a gloomy face and got off the horse. Behind him, there was an immediate uproar of people.

Ye Xinyan pursed her lips unabashedly, looking at the reaction of the magistrate, he was reminded by someone, and then remembered that he was the leader. With this brain, how can he be a tanhualang, and the rotation is too slow.

"How do you arrange the ploughing cattle that contribute to the neighboring villages at night, and bring them back?" Jiang Yifan didn't go to rest and drink tea or anything, he stood in place, and asked Ye Xinyan without a good voice.

Ye Xinyan's answer was not colorful, and replied dryly: "The nearby ploughing cattle were brought back at night, and the ploughing cattle and cowherds who contributed in the distance had already found a place to live, and they rested nearby, and they came back after the farming was over." ”

"Where is Fan Zhengyuan?" Jiang Yifan asked, still without extra words.

"It's on the farmland in Qinghe Village, taking care of the work of the cattle. If you go to the harvest, you will see him in the field. ”

Jiang Yifan didn't say hello, stepped on the horse, turned the horse's head and left. Behind him was another hula, and they beat their horses one after another, and hurriedly followed.

At the construction site of the new house, Zhang Wusi looked at the cattle farm from a distance and asked Qi Younian: "It seems that the Jiang master from the county government, why didn't he come down right away?" It doesn't look like it's coming well. ”

Qi Younian just watched without blinking and didn't make a sound.

Zhang Wusi saw Wang Qiao passing by, and stabbed Qi Younian, "Big brother, why don't we go over and have a look?" Don't let a few of them say it's not good, and it will be a fuss. ”

Qi Younian shook his head and said, "No, these children are not simple, don't worry about it." Saying that, the old man still looked at a few people in the distance with good eyes.

It wasn't until Jiang Yifan left that Qi Younian retracted his gaze.

Zhang Wusi was very surprised: "Is this okay?" ”

Qi Younian scolded with a smile: "What do you want? You're hoping to come up with an idea, but things won't work. ”

Jiang Yifan ran around Qinghe Village and the surrounding area and came to the conclusion that farm work with livestock is easy to do.

The cattle farm industry is well run and better managed. The cost of renting cattle can be used for forage, wheat straw and bud rice stalks that have not yet been harvested in the field, and sweet potato vines, which have given a lot of convenience to poor farmers.

This is still harvesting, the role of ploughing cattle is not very large, if there is such convenience in spring ploughing, for farming, it is even better.

Jiang Yifan learned from Fan Zhengyuan that some farmers used the surplus bud rice stalks, sweet potato vines and other items after the autumn harvest to make reservations, and made appointments to rent ploughing cattle after the autumn harvest and spring ploughing. In the spring, there will be more cattle to work on the farm. By then, although this year's calves have not yet grown into adults, it is more than enough to have half of the cowherd watching from the cattle farm.

If the cattle farms continue to be bred in this way, and with the imperial court's tax exemption incentives for wasteland, in a few years, the cultivated land in Qingyuan County will increase significantly. The existing farmland is assisted by livestock, and the yield will be higher, and the life of the people will be much better.

This lot of good news didn't make Jiang Yifan a little happy. The sky was about to darken, and he returned to the back hall of the county government with a gloom full of unknown reasons. And in the back hall of the county ya, Jinrong was already waiting in the hall of the guests. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
