Meng Changqing returned to the county government and saw that the three cows were tied to the stone stakes outside the yamen to eat forage.

"Lord Meng." Li Ting clasped his fists and saluted, "This is a cow from Luojiang County, and it took a few days on the road, and it was a little late." ”

Meng Changqing looked at the cow, then at Li Ting, and finally said, "Thank you for your hard work, if there is nothing important, go in and have a cup of tea." ”

Hearing this, Bafang immediately took the first step to prepare tea.

When Meng Changqing led Li Ting and the others into the front yaya hall, Bafang happened to come up with hot tea.

Li Ting held the tea cup handed over by Bafang, "I'm tired of Brother Zhang." ”

"Don't bother." Bafang smiled and put down a small basket of millet cakes, "We don't have anything in our county, only these cakes, let's fill my stomach for the time being." ”

"It's already very good, and that's what we eat in Liangzhou Mansion." Li Ting said that he grabbed the cake and ate it, and the other officials also ate it when they saw this.

In the end, it was in another yamen, and he came with an errand, Li Ting swallowed a piece of cake in a few bites and got down to business, "Lord Meng, the three cows outside were borrowed from Luojiang County by Sun Tongju. ”

Li Ting considered his sentence, "Lord Ding of Luojiang County instructed that these three cows were borrowed from three wealthy families, and they could only be used for you for half a year at most.

Please be sure to feed your farmers well for half a year. ”

Meng Changqing's hand under the wide cuffs couldn't help but clasp his fingers, "Thank you Lord Tongju and Lord Ding for being busy with me in Beishan County."

I will surely send someone to watch over them. ”

"In this case, then we will go back to our lives first." Li Ting stood up and wanted to leave, but Meng Changqing stopped him, "Li Zhutou has walked so far, let's rest again." ”

Li Ting could see that the other party had something to say, and after hesitating, he sat down again.

"Is Li Zhutou from Liangzhou?" Meng Changqing started from gossip.

"Yes, but Master Meng also knows that it has not been many years since Liang took back Liangzhou, and in my memory, I moved to Liangzhou with my parents when I was eight or nine years old.

I vaguely remember that before coming to Liangzhou, my family had never eaten a full meal, and no matter how good the harvest was in the field, the people didn't have much food in their hands anyway, and they only heard from my parents that the grain was collected by the imperial court.

At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I must go to the court to do things. Li Ting said here and joked to himself: "It's a pity that I didn't study material, but fortunately I learned some kung fu, and by chance I became a government servant." ”

Meng Changqing continued: "Everyone has their own way out, and Li Zhutou has now achieved his wish." ”

Li Ting nodded, "Exactly." ”

"Thanks to all of you for your hard work, you must have left Liangzhou City before dawn." Meng Changqing said, "It is to solve my urgent need, I have little fertile land in Beishan County, and I still have to continue to open up the wasteland after spring planting, and these three cows can help a lot."

It's just ......" Meng Changqing paused before saying: "In the end, it is a cow from Luojiang County, and it will be returned in half a year." Li Zhutou has been in Liangzhou City for many years, and I want to ask you about the same thing, where can I get cattle? Calves will do the same. ”

Li Ting said: "Lord Meng, I won't tell you anything, there is a shortage of cattle in the entire Liangzhou, and it is impossible to get cattle anywhere.

As for calves, to be honest with you, most of them are set at birth. ”

Meng Changqing nodded, "It seems that I still don't know much about Liangzhou." ”

"My lord, it's not that you don't know much, it's just that Beishan County has just been established as a county, and the government has no silver taels, and some things are useless just by human favors."

"I see." Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Thank you Li Zhutou for your attention." ”

Li Ting bowed, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"Why don't you dare, I want to thank you for telling me the truth." Meng Changqing said, "My Beishan County now owes a lot of debt to the Liangzhou government, and I really don't have any money, but I still have some private property, I don't know what the price of cattle in Liangzhou is, and who can help buy cattle." ”

"Adults have to pay for the cattle themselves." Li Ting said, "In this case, I will send someone out to inquire immediately after I return to Liangzhou Mansion, and I will definitely reply to you as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Catcher." Meng Changqing stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you again for your hard work all the way to bring the cow here, if there is such a thing in the future, just send someone to send a message, and I will send someone to fetch it." ”

While speaking, Li Ting and the others got up and saluted Meng Changqing, "Farewell." ”

Meng Changqing asked Bafang to send people out.

As soon as Li Ting and the others left, Yang Zheng came in, "Master Meng, the cow has been taken to the side courtyard and sent someone to take care of it." ”

"Brother Yang has a heart."

"I'm supposed to do it." Yang Zheng looked at Meng Changqing's solemn expression and asked, "What's the trouble with my lord?" ”

Meng Changqing deliberately relaxed his brows, "It's just for money." ”

Yang Zheng said: "The most difficult thing in the world is to start from scratch, and adults are currently in it, and they feel that it is difficult everywhere. ”

"Not me." Meng Changqing corrected, "It's Beishan County that is among them." ”

There are many kinds of difficulties in the world, but there is a solution to the difficulties in Beishan County today.

One is to put in all the effort, and the other is to be patient enough.

Meng Changqing was willing to work hard, but she was afraid to wait.

When Beishan County's economy improves and is on the right track, it will take five years, to say the least.

The situation in the court is changing rapidly, can she really stay in this small county town for five years, and still return to the capital?

Yang Zheng explained: "We have passed the most dangerous level, and now at least there are no Yan people and Jie Maru to commit it, and the next thing is just farming." ”

Meng Changqing followed with a smile: "Yes, it's just a matter of farming." Now that the millet has been planted, it will be planted while clearing the wasteland in the future, but someone will come to borrow bean seeds? ”

"Yes." Yang Zheng said, "Let's take credit, we don't want to make money and we don't want them to pay back, many people have come to borrow, especially those in Luojia Village." ”

"It's good to borrow." Meng Changqing went to Liangzhou Mansion a few days ago and asked Wei Fangyun to borrow bean seeds and potato seeds, but learned from Wei Fangyun that Liangzhou Mansion had never grown sweet potatoes, and naturally there were no potato seeds.

In the last decade or so, the southern maritime industry has flourished, and the common people often form sea caravans to trade with overseas countries.

As a result, they often bring back some strange seeds.

Sweet potatoes and corn were brought back by private caravans a few years ago.

Among them, although sweet potatoes have been flowing into the capital for a short time, they have been widely cultivated in Beijing.

Meng Changqing once proposed to the prince and the prince that sweet potatoes should be drought tolerant and barren, and corn should be planted for a short time and high harvests, both of which should be promoted to the whole country.

Who would have thought that a few years later, the sweet potatoes that have been seen everywhere on farms outside the capital have not yet spread to Liangzhou.

After Meng Changqing learned of this, he immediately wrote a second letter to the palace, or handed it over to Chu Mufeng to write an envelope and send it back to the capital.

Count the days, even if the letter goes slowly, it should be in the palace.

I've been in a really bad state lately, so I've had to slow down so I don't want the quality to continue to decline.
