Scenery in the fields.

Let Zheng Lun feel relaxed.

The fresh air reminded Zheng Lun of his hometown.

There is the aroma of plants in the air.

Qin Tao stood up.

Pull off a stick of dog grass and hold it in your mouth at will.

Unlike other landlords.

Qin Tao is more down-to-earth.

It's also more vibrant.

"Uncle Lun, do you know what the fastest way to make meritorious service is now?" Qin Tao cut to the chase.

Zheng Lun was always careful with Qin Tao, for fear that if he was not careful, he would fall for Qin Tao again.

"Now that the war between the DPRK and China and the Yiren is unfavorable and the defeats are frequent, I think the fastest way to make meritorious service is to go into battle to kill the enemy and turn the tide of the war."

"Alas!"

"It's a pity that I'm a civil official, and I can't get on a war horse."

Zheng Lun said this intentionally.

Getting on the horse and killing the enemy seems to be a very distant thing from a civilian official like him.

How clever Ren Qintao is is like a spring, it has nothing to do with him Zheng Lun.

"Yes, fighting on the battlefield and charging into battle can indeed make great contributions and promote the prestige of our country." Qin Tao looked into the distance and said slowly.

Zheng Lun was a little surprised.

Because Qin Tao agreed with his point of view.

Such moments are extremely rare.

"Qin Tao, I also want to be high-spirited and wield a sword to kill the enemy, but I am old, and years of studying have also consumed my will and physical strength." Zheng Lun looked at the weeds that were growing in the field.

I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

The envoy of the former Tianxun Mansion had just left and asked him to collect all the 100,000 stone of military rations in his county.

100,000 stones!

That's a huge amount.

Military rations!

made Zheng Lun dare not slack off.

It's been two days, and Zheng Lun's mind is full of these things.

He had come up with a foolproof strategy to get the job done.

The war is tight.

Does it really have nothing to do with him?

Impossible.

Food is needed to fight wars.

Win or lose.

A small magistrate has only obeyed orders.

Headache.

Whenever night came, when Zheng Lun lay in bed and wanted to sleep, this command was like a lingering spell.

It tickled at him and tormented his nerves.

Headache.

It's about to crack.

He had to get out of bed.

Spend a long time alone in the yard.

Can't think of a good idea.

What kind of virtue are those big landlords who have thousands of acres of fertile land, he Zheng Lun knows very well in his heart.

It is useless to ask them to donate food and say good things.

The only way to do that is to be rough.

Kill a few more landlords?

Behind each landlord is a big family, and some even have connections.

Domino effect.

Can't move!

Untouchable!

Zheng Lun looked at the weeds in the field and thought of the withering people.

Years of war.

Young people are in the army.

There are some old and weak women and children left in the village.

"Alas!"

Zheng Lun let out a long sigh.

His subtle eyes, as well as this sigh, did not escape Qin Tao's eyes.

Here's your chance.

To do things, we must not only have a plan, but also have the vision to grasp the opportunity.

There is no time to lose.

Qin Tao withdrew his gaze from a distance, and at this time Zheng Ling also stood up.

She didn't know what the problem was that bothered her father.

However, Zheng Ling also saw that his father was in a bad mood.

"Dad, are you worried about my marriage again?" Zheng Ling, like all daughters in the world, as long as she sees her parents frowning, she will think that it is her own reason.

Zheng Lun looked at his daughter lovingly, shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you, you are my Zheng Lun's daughter, how many outstanding descendants want to marry you, but I can't look down on them." ”

Yes, there are not many people who Zheng Lun fancies.

And Qin Tao is one of them.

Qin Tao's excellence, Zheng Lun not only saw it with his own eyes, but also experienced it personally.

Regardless of whether Qin Tao set him up or not.

In the end, Zheng Lun had to admit that Qin Tao had the ability to set him up.

"Uncle Lun, you have something on your mind, it's a matter of officialdom, right? This kind of thing, it is not appropriate to talk about it too much, and others will not be able to help you if you talk too much, but I told you that I want to point you a bright road, maybe it will help you, are you willing to listen? ”

Qin Tao talks about things, and he is never in a hurry.

It is necessary to cut into the inner thoughts of the other party, and what you say by yourself is more powerful.

Qin Tao has always known this.

"Of course, of course I have to listen, now I'm almost in a dead end, and I urgently need someone else's guidance." What Zheng Lun said was completely from the heart.

There is not a shred of falsehood.

Qin Tao took a deep breath.

"Uncle Lun, you have been the magistrate of the county for a while."

"During this time, you should also know that almost all the fertile land in this county is in the hands of those landlords."

"Every landlord is a skinner."

"I can't wait to press out the bones of the tenants into two taels of oil and water."

"Therefore, in the long run, most of the people in the county will not have enough to eat, and your government's expenses will also be very tight."

"The only way is to eliminate the landlords."

Hearing Qin Tao say this, Zheng Lun also became interested.

It's just that this thing is easier said than done.

"So what should I do?" Zheng Lun asked again.

Qin Tao smiled.

He raised his hand and pointed to the field in front of him, and said: "The fertile land in Shenjiazhuang in front of me belongs to Shen Boss and Shen Er, and the tenants in their village can't eat enough, so they all flow to my village. ”

"That's why I built a new village for those people."

"No matter what time it is, human life is greater than heaven."

"The Shen family, they would rather let their fields be barren than reduce the rent."

Zheng Lun understood a little just now.

But when Qin Tao continued, he was a little confused.

"The matter of land rent has always been negotiated by the landlords themselves, and there has never been a precedent for the government to participate in it."

Zheng Lun shook his head and said: "If you want me to set this precedent, I'm afraid that I, the magistrate, will come to an end." ”

"No!"

Qin Tao denied Zheng Lun's words.

There was a wind blowing, raising Zheng Ling's long hair and Qin Tao's robe.

Zheng Ling felt that Qin Tao was really handsome.

At this moment, handsome has reached new heights.

Qin Tao is so young, he can discuss things with his father, it's really amazing.

"Uncle Lun, you should collect the grain first." Qin Tao said.

Zheng Lun smiled bitterly: "The governor ordered me to collect all the 100,000 stone military rations within ten days, why don't I want to collect grain, but those landlords, will they give me grain?" ”

"If they do not give, they will be punished." Qin Tao said decisively.

"Punishment? What should I do if they can't get that much food? Zheng Lun felt that Qin Tao's logic didn't work at all.

Qin Tao smiled, and then said: "It's what they said, there is no food, and the fields are wasted, this is the reason for the punishment." ”

A good idea needs a word.

Qin Tao's last sentence made Zheng Lun suddenly realize.

"Yes, state affairs are tight, and the landlords have abandoned their fields, and they must be punished." Zheng Lun's brows furrowed, and he smiled.
