Li Zheng is also surnamed Chen, and they are of the same family.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't want to change his family to choose Lizheng, and he mentioned a small surname Lizheng, which was simply making trouble for himself, because the villagers would definitely not listen to him.

So Zhao Hanzhang decided to find Xinlizheng from the surname Chen.

The north wind is blowing, and whoever stands tall at this time is colder.

Fu Tinghan stood in front of Zhao Hanzhang's side, just blocking some wind, but it was cold to stand like this, so Zhao Hanzhang pulled Fu Tinghan and squatted back to the field that was slightly blocked from the wind, and waved to Chen Fang, who was standing respectfully with his head bowed, "Come over and let's talk." ”

Chen Fang hesitated, but still stepped forward and squatted aside.

Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "Just now I was looking for someone to come back to stop the people from Shangjiao Village, why didn't you come?" ”

Chen Fangdao: "There are enough people to stop them, and if they all come, there will be no one digging ditches in the field." ”

"Do you think you should stop the people of Shangjiao Village?"

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the girl has already left them, she naturally shouldn't stop them." ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and asked, "So you actually agree with Chen Lizheng in his heart for stopping the people of Shangjiao Village?" ”

Chen Fang paused for a moment and said: "This world is difficult, the county monarch is kind-hearted, he has helped us before, and now he is working for relief, and all families can survive the winter, but no one knows what will happen next year, naturally he wants to save more money and food, and Li Zheng's move is also for the good of the village." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with a smile and did not speak.

Chen Fang was apprehensive in his heart, lowered his eyes and said: "But cash-for-work is a major matter for the Yamen, and the county monarch is here, so naturally the county monarch should make a decision." ”

Zhao Hanzhang was more satisfied, and said: "This time more than 80 people came to Shangjiao Village, looking at their appearance, they should not have eaten enough during this time, and they walked more than 20 miles hungry, and finally arrived here, but you were driven away by evil words." Have you ever thought about how many casualties will occur if the two sides are highly conflicted? ”

Chen Fang was shocked.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "As an official of the Yamen, everything is based on the safety of the people, and even more so, we must be stable in doing things and being a stable person." And,"

She looked at the other party fixedly and said, "Don't forget who you are." ”

Fu Tinghan, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Chen Fang, saw that he was honest, and felt that he couldn't understand Zhao Hanzhang's deep meaning, so he said: "It's the Lizheng of the villagers of Xiajiao Village, and it's also the Lizheng of the county monarch." ”

Chen Fang's face suddenly realized.

Fu Tinghan: ...... I really haven't understood it.

He glanced at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang: ......

Forget it, the tallest of the short, he finally knew that he had to ask her, instead of bringing someone to stop him like Chen Lizheng.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Hanzhang summoned the heads of households in Xiajiao Village and the two nearby small villages that did not even have names, and directly announced the change of Lizheng.

Chen Lizheng looked confused, he didn't react until everyone dispersed, and when he saw Zhao Hanzhang leading Chen Fang to the side to discuss matters, he hurriedly chased after him, "County Jun, I don't know what I did wrong?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang saw that many people stopped and pricked up their ears to listen, so she asked: "If it weren't for the people I left behind to tell me about the villagers of Shangjiao Village coming to take refuge today, wouldn't you report it to me?" ”

Li Zheng's eyes widened, and he immediately said: "Naturally not, I want to deal with it and then tell the county gentleman......"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "The idea is good, but this matter is not small, you two villages almost fought because of this, once you do it, it is a matter of human life, and I am near the left, such a big matter, you have neither the ability to solve it peacefully, nor the idea of reporting to the top, Chen Lizheng, do you really treat me as a county gentleman?" ”

Chen Lizheng's face turned pale, "I ......"

Zhao Hanzhang saw that he couldn't speak, turned around and left, and took Chen Fang away.

"You will take over the next project here," Zhao Hanzhang said: "In addition to the canal, we must also dredge the river, and the dug river mud can be used for fertilizer, I don't know what the situation will be next year, so we must make preparations that can be made." ”

In fact, the better way is to dig another reservoir connected to the river, so that the water storage effect will be better.

But now that manpower and material resources can't keep up, Zhao Hanzhang knows that he has to take his time in doing things, and one step in place not only hurts others, but also hurts himself.

Chen Fang respectfully responded.

"The villagers of Shangjiao Village will not rob you of your work, on the contrary, they are here to help you, if the river can be dredged this winter, the water storage capacity of the river will be much higher next year, and there will be no fear of the canal running out of water." Zhao Hanzhang said: "If you want to leave it all to you, you will earn a lot of wages, but it will inevitably delay next year's agricultural time." ”

"Everything we do is to make it easier for you to farm better and harvest more food. She said: "I still dislike that there are fewer people coming now, the more the better." ”

Chen Fang was honest, but he was not stupid, he immediately said: "I know, we must settle the people of Shangjiao Village, and we must also appease the people of our village, so as not to make the two villages have greater contradictions." If there are still people to vote, it is the best, there is no shortage of work. ”

Zhao Hanzhang bowed, "It is this reason, you drink the same river water, and there are many people in the village who are in-laws with Shangjiao Village, and they are of the same bloodline, so they should help each other." ”

gave Chen Fang a good direction for his work, and Zhao Hanzhang went back to find Fu Tinghan.

They will stay in Xiajiao Village tonight, and tomorrow they will patrol in the other direction, until they reach the iron mine.

The people of Shangjiao Village also settled in the empty houses in the village, seven or eight people in a room, and they couldn't help talking even late at night.

"It seems that the female county is still good, and her heart is softer, so we agreed to stay with us as soon as we asked."

"How about you say we'll take the family over and do the work?"

"Yes, yes, we're full, but our family is still hungry."

"Don't worry, let's do it for two days first, and when we have feelings everywhere, we'll mention this matter again."

As a result, the next day, Zhao Hanzhang only watched them dig for a while and then got up and left Xiajiao Village.

Her Xiping County is very large, there are many places to be inspected, and it is impossible to stay in one place for too long.

The villagers of Shangjiao Village soon realized the hard work of digging the river.

Not to mention the effort, sometimes you have to step on a puddle and rake up the silt in the center of the river, such a laborious and cold work, calling the women and old people in the house is almost to death.

So they silently kept the matter to the bottom of their hearts and no longer thought about speaking.

The newly appointed Lizheng Chen Fang seemed to know what they were thinking, so he squatted with them during the meal and said: "Don't worry, the wages here are paid once every ten days, and when the wages are paid on the tenth day, you will go to the market to buy grain, and give you a day off to send the grain back." ”
