On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the weather has not yet warmed up.

Qu Qingyan was wearing a coat, and he still felt that the biting cold wind was drilling into his body.

"Feng Dianshu, why does this Northwest Spring Ox need to be dispatched by all staff?"

Or is it nine cold winters, the land is covered with snow and still frozen, how to instruct the oxen to plow the land themselves?

Even in Shandong, no one in the village went down to the field to plant crops before and after the beginning of spring, and this northwest custom always felt a little weird.

On the first day of the first day of the first year, Feng Dianshu had already figured out his status in Shouyang County, which would have lost his previous fear and horror for Qu Qingyan, and Qu Qingyan's question made him laugh very casually.

"The northwest wind and sand are strong, maybe there won't be a rain in a year, this crop is the people begging God for food, where will it be so easy to beg for food, saying that you can be late when you eat it, you must always do a little sincerity."

His words, coupled with his casual tone, always wanted to slap him in the face when they fell into Qu Qingyan's ears.

I already knew that this person owed, and I already knew that this person was a villain's face, and she shouldn't have sent someone to say that on the first day of the new year, she should have let him hang that breath and spend this New Year in fear.

In the crops outside the city, there were errand servants who came here early in the morning to start making all kinds of preparations, and the cattle that ploughed the land were all looking for three, and Feng Maocai greeted Qu Qingyan with a smile and stood in the middle of his fellow county Cheng.

"Master Qu, this old scalper may want to be lazy, you just whip its ass with this rattan whip."

Feng Maocai handed a rattan whip to Qu Qingyan's hand, Qu Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, really when she didn't know anything and had never been to the countryside to see how to grow crops?

She sneered and threw the rattan whip on the ground, and pushed the plowstick on the ground, and felt that the wooden plowstick seemed to have been frozen, and no matter how hard she tried, it was motionless.

Feng Maocai stood aside and watched the joke, this Qu Zhixian has been holding the champion shelf since he arrived in Shouyang County, no matter who he is talking to, he looks like his eyes are above the top, he has long looked at him unpleasantly, and today he wants to see how she is going to finish this spring cow.

There are still many villagers watching outside this crop field, and the more embarrassed she Qu Qingyan is, the lower her status in the hearts of everyone will be in the future.

He just wants to let these villagers know that this new magistrate is just a showman, and he can't use it.

Qu Qingyan could see from Feng Maocai's eyes what kind of thoughts this person had, and she really couldn't figure out what means this person could use to sit in the position of this book for nine years.

"Qianshan, Da'an, come here."

Qu Qingyan raised his hand and waved not far away: "Bring a villager who can farm over, I'm afraid my plowstick will be broken." ”

Qianshan ran into the crowd and found a somewhat honest villager and brought it to Qu Qingyan.

"My lord, this man said that the spring ox you used belongs to his family, and the plough stick is also his family, and this plow stick he just repaired in the winter, so there should be no problem."

"Really? Then you can help the officer check what went wrong. ”

Qu Qingyan had a light smile on his face, and his tone was very kind, the villagers were originally afraid to come over because of the majesty of her county master, but now she rubbed her hands and nodded her head when she said this.

Qu Qingyan looked at Feng Maocai as soon as she turned her eyes, and she spread her hands a little helplessly: "I want the official to find out early, and I didn't miss the time." ”

Feng Maocai smiled wryly, his eyes fell on the villagers who bent over to check, and his face was still a little unwilling: "These errand servants are really confused for the New Year, and such an important event as the spring cow is not well arranged, my lord, you can rest assured, when the seal is opened, the lower officials will definitely rectify them for you." ”

"Feng Dianshu has a lot of miscellaneous affairs in his hands, and this kind of trivial matter can be handled by the official himself, and the errand officers in this county government should be replaced with a batch of good ones."

What she said was very careless, but it only fell on Feng Maocai's heart, but it seemed to have set off a stormy wave.

Why did the good ones change these errand boys?

He has been operating in Shouyang County for many years, and these errand servants have been transferred little by little by him in the past few years, and now not to mention all of them are his henchmen and several other people.

"Adults are good at telling jokes."

Qu Qingyan looked at the dry smile on his face and didn't say much, it takes a little bit to knock this kind of thing, and if you knock it hard all at once, there should be trouble on the side.

Although the snow in the northwest this year was very heavy, and the ground was already covered with snow that did not reach the legs, the plough stick had just fallen into the ground after getting up in the morning, and it was said that it should not be frozen.

Now the plough stick was covered with ice, and fell into the pit dug in the ground, which was already frozen with the earth, and it was difficult to push it without pouring hot water on it and relying only on brute force.

"Lord Zhixian, this plough stick is frozen, you ...... You...... Why don't you change it? ”

I don't know if it's because Qu Qingyan's momentum around her body is too strong or because her face is so vivid with a light smile that people can't take their eyes off, and the villagers' nervous words are a little unreasonable.

This plough stick was prepared by Feng Maocai, why it was splashed with water and frozen in the ground, they knew each other.

"Feng Dianshu, what do you think of this official?"

Qu Qingyan turned sideways to look at Feng Maocai and Zhou Heshui, and was very humble to ask the two subordinates for advice.

Feng Maocai smiled a little embarrassed, he glanced at Zhou Heshui, Zhou Heshui is the county of Bapin, and the official position is still above him, he has been able to sit in the position of the book all these years, and it is also because he gave Zhou Heshui a lot of silver.

Today, the idea of digging a pit in the ground and freezing the plowman in it was also made by Zhou Heshui.

"Why don't you ask the servants to find another plough stick for you?"

Feng Dianshu was embarrassed to call himself a subordinate official, and the small two words came as soon as he opened his mouth, and Qu Qingyan was a little funny because of his self-proclaimed heart.

"No need, it's not early, why don't I exchange it with Zhou County, and let Zhou County's spring cow be beaten."

She had already taken a few steps to stand beside Zhou Heshui, she was in one hand, and Zhou Heshui smiled dryly and let the whip out.

She took Zhou Heshui's plough stick, and the villagers taught her how to push the front, but she reached the ground in half an hour.

Put down the plough stick and turned around, and saw that Feng Maocai got hot water out of nowhere, and just melted the ice, he was afraid that the place would freeze again if he moved a little late, so the two of them hurriedly pulled it out, making muddy water all over their bodies.

But in a moment, the muddy water froze into an ice mound, and the boots under the feet of the two of them were almost frozen in the ground, and it was really embarrassing and embarrassing.
