"It doesn't matter if you have planted it before or not, as long as you take it, the people from the government will teach you how to plant it." Yang Zheng held up the sweet potato seedlings and said what Meng Changqing taught him, "As long as this thing is served well, the output of one mu is enough for a family's rations for a year." ”

"Lord Yang, my family still has two acres of vacant land, give me some of it."

Someone asked the person who spoke, "Why do you still have vacant land in your house?" ”

"Some time ago, I just set up a family affair for the children in the family, and the money is not enough, so I buy less bean seeds."

Someone in the crowd asked the key point: "Lord Yang, this thing was given by the government for free?" ”

"What good things do you think?" Yang Zheng said, "This is the government to give you credit, and during the autumn harvest, according to the harvest in your field, you will pay back 30% to the county government." ”

"As long as you grow this thing, you only need to pay back thirty percent?"

Yang Zheng: "If you don't say that you have met a good official, where is there such a good thing in the world." ”

Behind the crowd, Shu Erhua heard about it and hurried home to report the news.

When Wang Lamei heard that the free seeds were on credit, she immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and personally squeezed into the crowd to grab sweet potato seedlings.

Meng Changqing stood at the side door of the back office, looking at the piles of people gathered in the open space.

Wen noticed her standing posture and stepped forward to ask, "I didn't even straighten my back, but I'm tired?" ”

"Mother." Meng Changqing hurriedly stood up when he heard this.

"Why don't you feel happy that you have done what you want to do?" Wen asked.

Meng Changqing smiled a little reluctantly, and Yang Zheng repeated loudly not far away: "If you get it, you should plant it immediately, and plant it immediately!" ”

"I'm worried that I'm going to end up being an unscrupulous person to achieve my goals." Meng Changqing helped Wen to walk into the house. "These sweet potato seedlings can be said to have been snatched from the fields of the people of Yizhou."

Although Wen didn't witness it with his own eyes, he could think of what happened in Yizhou, "Shangguan said a word, and the people bear the bitter fruit." If you say that, you must not be doing well enough. ”

Wen Shi stared at the expression on Meng Changqing's face, "I don't advise you not to think about it this time, only if you think about everything thoroughly, there will be a way to avoid it next time." ”

"Yes." Meng Changqing helped the person to the chair and sat down.

"Bafang told me, I don't know what you sent to the prefect of Yizhou."

"It was a piece of gold cake given by the emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few years ago." Meng Changqing said, "Regardless of the process, just looking at the weight of the gold cake is also very valuable." ”

"How can you send something like this for the first time?" Wen asked, "You really don't like that prefect?" ”

"Corrupt officials, I naturally can't get used to it." Meng Changqing said, "You also said that it was the first time that I had dealt with that Lord Yang, and he dared to accept such a valuable thing."

Maybe that's his fate. ”

Wen pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk."

Remember what you said on the way to Liangzhou? ”

Wen looked at Meng Changqing amusedly, "You also plan to be a corrupt official, but there is nothing to be greedy in this Beishan County."

You ask him to help you, you don't care who he is, he does what you entrust, then he has no place to be sorry for you. ”

"It's me who wants to deviate." Meng Changqing admitted his mistake very simply.

"Go and go about your business, whether it is right or wrong, what you have already done, and it is useless to regret it." Wen understands her, she has been smart since she was a child.

But such a person is often easier to get into the horns, because she always believes that she is right, and her judgment of others is always too arbitrary.

She's going to suffer.

Fortunately, this kid is not a stubborn person, and he will always change after a loss.

At the beginning of May, the people of Beishan County finished planting soybeans and sweet potatoes.

Plough the field and ridge it, fertilize and plant.

The people had no time to spare.

Meng Changqing's county government has more than 100 people, and except for those who patrol and are on duty, the others basically have to go to the ground during the day.

Some of them are somewhat complaining.

What is the difference between farming here and farming at home?

Not only is the status quo not as good as when he was in the camp, but he followed the county magistrate to resist the Yan army before, and he received no more rewards than when he was in the barracks.

So why all this hard work?

"Captain, you can be considerate and considerate of me, look at the blisters on my hands, let me go on patrol with you."

Meng Changqing had just entered the front office, and before he had walked a few steps, he heard someone hiding behind the corner of the wall talking.

"You're used to holding a knife, and you can't hold a hoe?" This is Zhang Yuan's voice.

Meng Changqing listened to the corner of the wall, so he simply took a light step and leaned over to listen to what they said.

"Holding a knife is different from holding a hoe, I didn't do much farm work at home before I joined the army." After the man finished speaking, Meng Changqing heard the sound of copper plates colliding, "Captain, I really can't stand it." ”

I don't know if Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to take the copper coin, but I heard him say: "If you don't do it, someone always has to go." ”

"Yes, yes, I know." Then I heard the sound of copper plates being pulled out.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Master Meng and see if I can transfer you directly."

Meng Changqing propped up the wall, guessing how much money that person gave?

"You must say nice things for me......"

Listening to the sound of footsteps behind the corner, Meng Changqing slipped away in a few big strides.

Not long after she sat down in the study in front, Zhang Yuan came in.

"Captain Zhang." Meng Changqingquan didn't hear the conversation just now, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I wanted to tell you something." Zhang Yuan said, "There are more and more fields cultivated in the county, and the distance for the people to go out is getting farther and farther, so I wonder if I can add two more people." ”

Meng Changqing said: "When patrolling, the fields are not the focus, just patrol the streets on the east and west sides of the county government, and then take a look at the public facilities." ”

After she finished speaking, seeing that Zhang Yuan was not leaving, she asked again: "Does Captain Zhang have anything else?" ”

"Lord Meng, to tell you the truth, I am not worried about the first two hundred people, Lord Wei also said that after most of them are sinners, it is difficult to guarantee that they have any bad intentions, so I want to keep an eye on them."

"Oh, I see, Captain Zhang is kind, but they don't kill people in the fields." Meng Changqing just didn't let go.

Zhang Yuan rubbed for a while, and saw that it really didn't make sense, so he had to give up.

Meng Changqing wanted to see how he explained to the person who gave him, but the next morning she saw that one of the people who had been patrolling had been replaced.

She deliberately leaned in and asked the person who was replaced, "If I'm not mistaken, your surname is Feng?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Feng stopped his movements and saluted Meng Changqing, "What do you command?" ”

"Why did you come to farm today?"

Xiao Feng had an expression on his face that he wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and in the end, he only held back this sentence: "Captain Zhang arranged it like this." ”

"I thought you wanted to farm." Meng Changqing scooped a few scoops of water and poured it on the sweet potato seedlings that had been planted for a short time.

Xiao Feng could only smile bitterly, "My family is farming, and I want to find a way out when I go to the barracks, who would want to farm?" ”
