On this morning, the outside of the county office was full of people.

Some people came to buy Quyuan ploughs clearly, some people were skeptical about it to verify, and some people simply came to join in the fun.

After all, this is the first public appearance of the 'Straw Bale Second Ancestor' after taking office.

There were also some officials who secretly mixed in with the crowd and observed the situation.

They didn't believe that the Second Ancestor would expel everyone.

Because Chen Gengnian's reputation is too bad.

If he dismisses all the servants, he will definitely be scolded to death by the whole Jiang County!

The county magistrate, who has a bad reputation, showed up at this time.

The gate of the county government was pushed open, and the county magistrate, dressed in an official uniform, walked out, and many people's eyes widened.

Obediently, this is the legendary 'Second Ancestor'?

Not to mention anything else, just saying that this appearance is amazing enough, and there is a bit of official authority around him that people dare not look at directly.

The crowd was silent for a moment, waiting for the county magistrate to speak.

“……”

After taking office, it was the first time that he was stared at by so many people, and Chen Gengnian was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Social fear is going to be committed.

"Ahem, the villagers must have come here to buy Quyuan plows."

Chen Geng coughed young, turned around and ordered, "Lift the plow." ”

The people in front of the yamen are also not used to it.

Why did you go directly to the plough? In these years, there are still officials who don't like to talk nonsense at the beginning?

However, after the plough was lifted, everyone didn't have the heart to pay attention to these.

Li Quan, Zhao Qiang, and Gao Tianming carried out ten Quyuan plows according to their words and put them at the entrance of the yamen.

These ten plows were made by Shao An's father and son, as well as the other six carpenter masters, who worked together in a hurry.

Everyone looked at the smooth and exquisite-looking curved plow, and their pupils were dilated.

This is the legendary Quyuan plough researched by the county magistrate?

Some of them were made of iron!

Although I don't know if I can really plow an acre of land in two hours, this appearance is as good as the county master!

People from Lijia Village also came today.

When Zhang Ahua and the others saw Qu Yuanli, they were all excited.

"County master, I was the first to pay at that time!"

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Zhang Ahua stepped forward and said excitedly: "I'll lead Quyuan plow." ”

Chen Gengnian said with a smile: "The first one on the left, Aunt Zhang, you check it, if there is no problem, you can take it away by pressing a handprint on the deed." ”

The plow is certainly fine, but do you still have to press the handprint?

Zhang Ahua looked at the deed handed to her, a little confused.

She's illiterate!

"I was negligent, let me explain what is on the deed. Auntie, your zigzag plow, number 001, the parts are made by eight master carpenters, and the final assembly is completed by Shao An. Starting from today, in the next two years, if the Quyuan plow is damaged, you can come to Shao'an for free repair. After two years, the repair will be charged. ”

Chen Gengnian explained: "The number of this 001, here on the back of the plow, it is engraved with fire paint, and it cannot be smeared. If it is stolen, it can be recovered with this mark. ”

Boy!

The first time I saw a two-year warranty for buying something, there are also anti-loss marks!

The onlookers were amazed.

Zhang Ahua understood, and said happily: "The county master is really thoughtful." ”

With more than 200 yuan to buy something, it is inevitable that I will be apprehensive.

What if it breaks down!

At that time, when I paid the money, my brain was hot, and Zhang Ahua was not without entanglements in her heart recently.

But now, Zhang Ahua is not afraid.

Because Quyuan plough is free of charge within two years!

She happily pressed her handprint on the deed, and then took away a zigzag plough under the envious eyes of everyone.

The remaining nine plows were also quickly taken away by the people of Lijia Village.

The rest of the people who came to buy the plough were in a hurry.

They weren't so eager at first.

But this is a curved plough that can plow an acre of land in two hours, and there is a two-year warranty period, and it is also anti-loss!

Who doesn't want to be impressed by this!

"County master, do you still have a plow?"

"Yes, we're waiting to buy a plow!"

After Shao An's exploration, a mature carpenter can now build a zigzag plough in only two days.

When multiple masters work together, it will be faster.

But - still not enough.

Because there are so many people in the entire Jiang County, relying only on a few carpenters, it must be in short supply.

"It's a pity that we can't build plows at a fast pace that meets everyone's needs."

When Chen Gengnian said this, he reassured: "But don't panic, in the whole Jiang County, all the carpenters can come to the county government to get the drawings of the Quyuan plow, and then go to the carpenter shop of Shao Anjia to learn the manufacturing method of the Quyuan plow for free." As long as you sign the deed with the county government and pay the tax as required. ”

A Quyuan plow can be sold for 300 Wen!

Give drawings for free, and observe manufacturing methods for free, then this is a sure money-making business.

"County master, I, I'm a carpenter!"

Someone shouted excitedly with a red face.

Obviously, he never expected that he would encounter such a beautiful thing just to join in the fun!

Everyone looked at the excited carpenter with envy until their eyes were bloodshot.

Why didn't they learn a trade in the first place?

"It's not enough to have a carpenter, a carpenter shop needs a lot of apprentices."

Chen Gengnian said with a smile: "The Shao family's carpenter shop now recruits ten apprentices, and the monthly salary is fifty for literary workers. After a year, if the apprentice has passed the technical level, he can apply to become a master carpenter and make a curved plow on his own. Not only the Shao family's carpenter shop, but also the carpenter shop that cooperates with the county government will need apprentices. ”

If everyone's reaction just now was average, what the county master said later made everyone excited.

Fifty wages per month for apprentices.

It's not much, but it's a lot of learning, and it's the first time I've heard that apprentices are paid!

When you learn the technology, you can make a curved plow to make money!

This is a job opportunity!

God knows, how long has it been since Jiang County had this kind of 'getting ahead' opportunity to make money!

As soon as Chen Gengnian's voice fell, everyone at the scene was shocked.

"My kid has a flexible mind, you can give it a try!"

"County master, I signed up, I learned some carpentry work when I was young."

"Hurry up, let our son try it too!"

Looking at the excited crowd, Chen Gengnian continued: "Also, to make a quyuan plow, you need to use wood, iron, charcoal, and so on. Therefore, as long as they pay a 10% tax, these merchants can also come to cooperate with the yamen. ”

in the crowd.

Wu Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly lit up his eyes, and hurriedly said, "County master, my family has two thousand catties of wood!" ”

Except for Wu Feng.

There were also several merchants at the scene, who were called by Chen Shen.

They didn't have much hope, but now, their faces were red with excitement.

Who would have thought that Lao Chen, the son of the second ancestor, would be a reliable one!

"I have two hundred pounds of charcoal here!"

"County master, I have a hundred catties of iron at home!"

Chen Gengnian glanced back at Li Quan when he heard this.

Li Quan understood, and hurriedly said: "Those masters who shouted just now, we will go to check the materials in the old man's house later, if there is no problem, we can cooperate!" ”

But this is not enough, because consumption is not fully stimulated.

Only when the currency begins to circulate can the stagnant Jiangxian be affected and operated.

Chen Gengnian looked at the excited crowd below and continued: "Everyone be quiet, after discussing with the Shao family carpenter shop, I decided to launch the 'pre-sale method'. Today, anyone who presses the deed in advance at the county government and pays half of the deposit can buy a quyuan plow at a preferential price of 280 yuan. Next, the Quyuan plough will be sold to you first. Of course, the county government will guarantee the quality of the quyuan plow. ”

That's 20 dollars cheaper!

And you can get the Quyuan plow first!

Someone immediately said eagerly: "County master, I want to buy it!" ”

"If you want to buy it, go to this official named Zhao Qiang to register!"

Chen Gengnian pointed at Zhao Qiang.

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the deposit you paid in advance will not be handled by the official." Half of this deposit will be paid to the material merchant by the carpenter's shop. The other half will be settled after the deposit is fully collected. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the merchants led by Wu Feng were red.

They actually met a good official!

Now, the backlog of goods at home can be sold with confidence, and they have a way to live!

In the corner of the crowd.

Chen Shen looked at his son, who handled affairs in an orderly manner and was praised by others, and felt very pleased.

"And."

When Chen Gengnian spoke again, the people below were completely dizzy.

Oh my God, what surprise is the county master going to give you?

This time, of course, is a surprise, or a big surprise!

"Oxen are needed for ploughing the land, and to the lesser extent, donkeys and mules can also be used. It doesn't matter if you buy a plow but don't have an ox, or if you can't afford a plow for the time being. ”

Chen Gengnian said with a smile: "People who have ploughing cattle at home and who have bought Quyuan plows are welcome to cooperate with the county government." The county government committee came forward and leased it out at a price of five wen per mu of land for ploughing cattle and two wen per mu for quyuan ploughs. At that time, if there are problems such as the illness or exhaustion of the ploughing cattle, or the damage of the quyuan plow, the yamen will come forward to solve the problem. However, the owners of ploughing cattle and quyuan ploughs need to pay 10% of the income to the yamen. ”

At this moment, the eyes of those who have ploughing cattle at home are lit up.

Especially Li Fu, the village chief of Lijia Village.

"Village chief, village chief, go sign up!"

Zhang Ahua shouted: "When your land is plowed, I will rent your cattle." ”

Li Fu's face was full of wrinkles with a smile: "Okay." ”

Five cents per acre of land, although it is not much, but if you cultivate a few more acres of land, the income is very considerable!

"County master, I have a lot of strength, I can be a bull envoy!"

Someone tentatively shouted: "Can I press the contract with the yamen and charge five cents per mu of land?" ”

The young county magistrate smiled kindly: "Of course you can." ”

Wow!

At this moment, the crowd of onlookers was completely excited.

When they came in the morning, they never dreamed that today would unfold like this.

This is the first public appearance of the county magistrate Chen Gengnian, which is not only very different from the rumored 'Second Ancestor', but also makes everyone present praise him.

With their departure.

The entire lifeless Jiang County began to come to life.

"Uncle Li, doesn't your son know how to carpenter, go to the county government to learn how to build a Quyuan plow, a plow costs 300 Wen!"

"Aunt Chen, your family cultivates cattle, and you can rent them out to make money!"

"The quyuan plough is not only fast in ploughing, but I heard that it also has a two-year warranty."

"Let me tell you, the county master is not the same as the rumors, what the second ancestor, ouch is all nonsense! What I saw with my own eyes is that the county magistrate is very handsome, and he doesn't have a bit of an official pretension, he really thinks about the people. ”

"My God, let's go to Lijia Village to see the Quyuan plow, the ploughing speed is swishing, and it is as easy as playing."

"Hahaha, my kid was taken as an apprentice by the carpenter's shop, and he was paid fifty yuan a month!"

"I have to finish plowing my family's land as soon as possible, and then go to help others plow the land, and I can earn five wen per acre of land."

"This curved plow is so easy to use, you don't have to get injured because of hoeing."

"The county master's brain is good, and he has researched such a powerful thing, thanks to the fact that I scolded him for the second ancestor before, I really shouldn't have it."

In the crowd outside the county office.

A few of the officers who had secretly come to inquire about the situation looked at each other.

This county lord seems to be different from the rumors.

"What are you afraid of what he's going to do?"

An errand officer sneered: "Didn't he say yesterday that he would not go to the county government to report all the expulsions." But you see, we didn't go, did he mention this stubble, just to scare people. ”

When everyone heard this, they were relieved.

In this Jiang County, in the end, Zheng Ye has the final say.
