Chapter 232 Protective Institutions

Among these adults in the Ministry of Agriculture, except for the two university scholars who were from noble backgrounds, the rest were poor students.

Because he can sympathize with the suffering of the people, he has a good relationship with the people.

Now, I saw several peasant adults leading Chen Mu and others towards the village.

A few farmers cautiously stepped forward and stuffed the freshly picked fruits and vegetables into the hands of several agricultural lords.

When the agricultural lords saw this, they were taken aback, but they did not refuse.

They only smiled and accepted the fruits and vegetables, and cautiously glanced in the direction of Chen Mu.

Seeing this, Chen Mu didn't care, he only waved his hand casually, and then said with a smile.

"You have a good relationship with these farmers, and the fruits are also growing well, so I think that after the locust plague was taken care of, the villagers' income was saved."

"These fruits and vegetables are sold to the surrounding towns, which should also be a lot of income."

When several ministers of agriculture heard this, they all smiled and nodded, and responded with a smile.

led Chen Mu to the place where he settled, and after a few adults gossiped with Chen Mu a few more words, the county order of this village and town came in a hurry.

He had just heard that Chen Mu had brought people to check on the situation of locust control.

After hurrying over, as soon as he entered the house, he knelt down to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately asked people to help him up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, if there is no His Royal Highness the Prince, our town will suffer heavy losses this time, and I am afraid that there will be a famine again!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have solved the locust plague, and our rice, fruits and vegetables have been saved! The villagers' peaceful life has also been saved! ”

God knows how frightened the county commander was when he heard that his town was about to have another locust plague?

After all, he also knew that a locust plague would mean that the villagers would not harvest anything when they arrived in the fields.

At that time, famine and plague may also break out, and in the end, his political performance will also be affected.

Now that officials have been sent from Beijing to deal with the locust plague, he also feels at ease.

Although at the beginning, when he heard that these adults were the newly established Ministry of Agriculture in Beijing, he still felt quite disdainful.

When I knew that several adults were poor students who had just entered Beijing, I had a contemptuous look at those adults.

But now, as soon as the matter of this locust plague is resolved, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, the county order has become more and more respectful to several agricultural lords.

"It's just a random practice, and the focus is on prevention and control in the future."

"After the chickens and ducks are raised, the eggs and larvae of the locusts are all exterminated, so that there will be no locust plague in the future."

This locust control project is only a pilot project in this town.

If we can ensure that there will be no locusts or locust outbreaks in the next year and a half, then this pilot project can also be extended to the whole country.

"I know...... I know that the villagers are very enthusiastic about raising chickens and ducks, and they know that this is a decree issued by you, and it is good for them. ”

"Now the larvae in our land have been eaten by the chickens and ducks, and the chickens and ducks are getting fatter and stronger."

"The villagers have earned a lot of silver by selling eggs, duck and eggs, and life is getting better, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!"

Seeing this, Chen Mu waved his hand again, and after inquiring about the prevention and control of locust plagues, Chen Mu asked about things related to water conservancy projects.

The work of preventing and controlling the locust plague was carried out smoothly, but the construction of water conservancy projects was not so easy.

The water conservancy project will take several years to build as soon as it is built.

Chen Mu saw that there was a slight embarrassment on the face of the county commander, and he also knew that this project had just begun, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make any dazzling achievements.

Chen Mu waved his hand and said.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just wait until tomorrow to check the situation around the river where the water conservancy project is being built."

Seeing Chen Mu say this, the adult nodded again and responded with a peace tone, he also understood what Chen Mu meant.

The planning of the construction of the water conservancy project and the completion of the project, how he described it, could not be as clear as Chen Mu personally went to check it.

Chen Mu saw the adult bow down and retreat, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After retracting his gaze, he looked up at the few adults standing beside him, and then said slowly.

"I'll walk around the village in a while, you can come with me, and by the way, see how the villagers in the village raise chickens and ducks."

"Now that the decree has been issued, the villagers are swarming to raise chickens and ducks, and are there still people planting the fertile land in the village?"

"Several of the fertile fields in the village are cultivated, although the villagers can see that the income from raising chickens and fish is more than that from farming."

"But no one will always eat chicken and duck to live, they still need rice and noodles after all."

"So the grain fields in the village are not deserted, Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry."

When Chen Mu heard this, he nodded again, and when the night fell, Chen Mu walked around the village.

Seeing that the people passing by in the village were also smiling, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little.

Seeing that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, his heart was also steady.

After walking around the village, I stayed until the next morning, and then went to the river where the water conservancy project was being built.

Seeing the workers transporting boulders and logs to the middle of the river, Chen Mu nodded secretly.

These officials of the Ministry of Works knew better than him the details of the construction of the dam and the planning of the project.

Therefore, after confirming that the money and money of the project were both implemented, and the project was progressing steadily, Chen Mu also nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, this micro-service visit can be regarded as a smooth conclusion.

Although there were still a few trivial matters that needed to be dealt with, these things were not difficult for Chen Mu to deal with.

After returning to Beijing, Chen Mu immediately asked people to mobilize several female officials.

Those female officials were all recently appointed to the household department.

Hearing that Chen Mu was going to send them to the prefectures and counties around the capital, he was quite surprised.

After all, these female officials are all from the capital, and they are all Beijing officials, and they feel quite uneasy when they hear that they are going to be transferred.

Chen Mu called the female official and explained to them the department he was going to set up.

"Civil women's protection agencies? This...... What is it? ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, is your institution related to the local county government, or is it the head department of a separate agency?"

"Is it set up independently in the capital, or is it set up in a subordinate level of a certain department."

Chen Mu saw that a female official stepped forward and asked like this, so he spoke.

"My initial idea was for the local county government to set up a small agency to manage women's rights in each state and county."

"I've heard of women who have been abused by their husbands, and there are women who have been treated unfairly, but they have nowhere to redress."

"Although the county magistrate wants to help, because there are so many things that need to be taken care of by the state and county, they have no intention of taking out the effort to take care of these household affairs."
