Quick Travel: I will take the host to prodigal family

Chapter 245 Become the richest magistrate 13

I want to ask Yueying why she doesn’t go to other places to do tasks and spend money?

How can that be done? If you go to other counties to spend money, wouldn’t that increase the income of your county?

It’s better to spend money to do tasks and so on, but it’s better to benefit your own people!

It's not like Taiping County doesn't have what she needs now. Today's Taiping County is different from the past.

During winter sowing, Yueying drew a drawing and brought it to the workshop, asking her to find a carpenter to make a batch of farm tools based on the drawing. Then people who needed it could come to the county government to borrow the farm tools. It’s okay to go find a carpenter to do it yourself, just go find a carpenter directly.

Not only that, Yueying also bought a hundred cows from other places and lent them to the people. Each village would be allocated three or five cows.

With the new farm tools and cattle, the people doing winter sowing this year are much easier than in previous years, and the efficiency is also much higher!

In addition, Yueying also asked the county government officials to go to each village and tell the villagers about some methods of fertilization in later generations.

Originally, farmers in rural areas had their own methods of fertilizing, and they would not change this method easily, because at that time, farmers cherished fertilizers and manure very much, and if others stole some, they would be responsible for it. You have to go up to the other party and ask him to come back, and scold him for three days before you give up!

But when the villagers heard that the magistrate was talking about the method of retting, they immediately abandoned their original method of fertilizing and directly used the method given by the magistrate!

The New Year in Taiping County is particularly lively this year, with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere.

Even in Shangxian County, there will be one or two beggars begging on the streets of the county town, but in Taiping County, there is not even a beggar to be seen.

Because these beggars who were begging on the street were all recruited by Yue Ying to be responsible for cleaning the streets of the county town.

They were given jobs and wages.

And many people no longer have the pressure of the Chen family. The farmers who originally rented the fields of several families have now become the public fields of the county government. Yueying still rents the fields back to the original farmers, but Only [-]% of the harvest from the fields was harvested.

She also returned all the fertile farmland occupied by those families to them according to the description in the household book.

The harvests in the fields are two seasons a year. With the new fertilization method, this year's late rice harvest is much better than before, and the winter wheat grown in the fields is growing exceptionally well than before!

"Sir, please take a look at this year's lantern festival program list."

Chief Li came over with the list of programs for the county government's lantern festival this year and let Yue Ying take a look.

Yueying took it and saw that there were dragon lanterns, Nuo performances, and even people parading on the high platform...

Yueying pointed to the parade and said to Chief Li: "Let's get rid of this parade. The streets are crowded with people during the New Year, and it would be inappropriate to build a high platform for the parade."

Moreover, she doesn’t want to be looked at like a monkey!

"Yes." Chief Li nodded. She felt the same way. How many people were on the street during the New Year? !

And this year, everyone has some money at home, and the situation is good this year, so everyone wants to come to the county town for a stroll.

When Chief Li was about to leave, Yue Ying stopped her again and said: "This year we need to send more manpower to prevent the people from being too crowded and causing a stampede. We also need to let the government officials at the county gate keep an eye on people coming and going. Abort people to prevent pats from other places from coming in and committing crimes in our Taiping County!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After receiving the order, Chief Li went down to make arrangements.

Nuo opera is a kind of dance to entertain the gods, dance with ghosts, drive away plagues and avoid epidemics, and express Anqing.

Wearing various willow masks, they play the roles of Nuo gods and mythical beasts.

Nuo opera has been performed in the county town since the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The Nuo opera was surrounded by people who came forward to watch. Most of the people came forward to watch the Nuo opera with their children in hand.

If a Nuo god rushes in front of a child and makes fun of her, the child will be so frightened that he will cry and throw himself at his mother or father-in-law. At this time, the child's parents will often smile and look rich. Those who have money will throw a few copper coins into the bowls and basins held by the Nuo opera performers, while those who have no money will hold their hands in front of the Nuo opera performers and say thank you gratefully.

Then she would coax her child, saying that God Nuo was blessing her and praying for her!

After the children saw that the adults were coaxing them, they would continue to watch the Nuo opera performance on the street with their round eyes full of tears.

Yueying sat in a restaurant on the side of the street, watching the Nuo opera outside the window, and said to the woman sitting in front of her in casual clothes: "I appreciate the kindness of the King of Yizhou. Mr. Laofeng came here during the Chinese New Year. On this trip, why not go back to Yizhou after celebrating the New Year in our Taiping County? Mr. Fang hasn’t been back to Taiping County for a long time, right? By the way, let’s take a look at the changes in our Taiping County this year.”

"......"

The woman sitting opposite her opened her mouth, but in the end she stopped trying to persuade her. She held up her hands and said, "If that's the case, then Fang Qing will be bothering you."

Yueying nodded slightly, picked up her cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said no more.

Fang Qing looked at the woman opposite and felt depressed. It was rare that the King of Yizhou told him to do something, but he couldn't do it well!

Fang Qing was from Taiping County, but after becoming a scholar, his family moved away from Taiping County, and later joined the King of Yizhou and became an aide under his sect.

Yueying's movements in the past year have been too great. King Yizhou's eyes and ears have already noticed all kinds of movements in this county. Therefore, King Yizhou has always paid attention to this county. He was not too cautious at first. She was concerned about it, but during the middle-aged banquet this year, His Majesty actually mentioned the magistrate of Taiping County, which made her have to take it to heart.

So, he sent his disciple Fang Qing, who was from Taiping County, to come to Taiping County to inquire about it, and recruit the magistrate of Taiping County, Yue Ying, into his disciple!

But now, she messed up the first thing King Yizhou asked her to do.

Fang Qing held the teacup and looked out the window at the Nuo opera performance with a bitter look on his face.

Soon, the Nuo opera performer slowly passed within sight of their restaurant window, and the tea on their table had gone cold.

Yueying turned back, took a serious look at Fang Qing, and said, "Mr. Fang, I wonder how much salary the King of Yizhou will give you in a month? How much will he give you in a year?"

That's right, she wanted to dig this guy from King Yizhou over.
