Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

County Magistrate Wang was so excited by Huo Yunchao's words: "Yunchao, you are right! When I find the evidence of Zhou Aniu's crimes, I will definitely let the people in the county know. No matter what the previous county magistrate was, from my seat From this day on when I take the position of county magistrate, good deeds will be rewarded and bad deeds will be punished, and both good and evil will be rewarded!"

He is a person who sincerely does practical things for the country and the people, even if it means throwing his life and blood!

Huo Yunchao applauded vigorously: "Sir, I believe you can realize your ideals and ambitions!"

When County Magistrate Wang saw Huo Yunchao's exaggerated performance, he laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, stop flattering me! Tell me the truth, you spent so much time thinking about these things, really What’s the intention?”

Huo Yunchao suppressed his smile. He took out the simple map he drew, pointed at the river embankment and said, "Sir, when I was looking for land suitable for land reclamation, I found that this section of the river embankment was eaten away by termites. For the safety of our lives and property, we The embankment must be rebuilt!”

Magistrate Wang was shocked when he heard this: "What did you say? Yun Chao, if I remember correctly, wasn't this river bank built less than three years ago?"

His young master had been the county magistrate here for less than a year. Didn't the previous magistrate just recruit thousands of farmers to build river embankments?

When he was a master before, he even checked the accounts, and there was no problem found in them.

Although Magistrate Wang knew very well that the clean and beautiful accounts must have hidden some key data, he subconsciously believed that building river embankments was related to the safety of everyone, including the farmers who built the embankments, the stewards, and the county magistrate. Life is safe!

How can we act carelessly in a matter where human life is at stake?

Aren't you kidding yourself and the lives of tens of thousands of people?

Is this something that a person who has read the books of sages can do?

This is simply ridiculous!

Huo Yunchao didn't give Magistrate Wang time to think about the problem. He pointed to the simple map he drew and said, "Sir, while it's still dark, why don't you come with me to check out the section of river embankment closest to the county government office."

Facts speak louder than words.

Huo Yunchao didn't intend to talk about so many things, and what he heard was false. Seeing was true. Let County Magistrate Wang see it with his own eyes and know that what he said was true and every word was true.

According to the memory of the original person, during the heavy rain half a year later, Huo Yunchao was flooded, rivers burst their banks, farmland and houses were severely damaged, people were displaced, and the plague was rampant. The disaster area would become a hell on earth.

The carriage sped out from the county government office, attracting the attention of merchants and people with ulterior motives.

"The county magistrate goes out to the city twice a day, what is the problem?"

"I haven't heard of any natural or man-made disasters? Could it be that the county magistrate went to Pinglehou's house for dinner again?"

"Huh? The county magistrate went to Pinglehou's house for dinner?"

"Huh? Don't you know? The relationship between the county prince and Pinlehou is as good as father and son. Pinglehou brings delicious food and drinks to the county prince every now and then."

"How do you know you are so meticulous? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"My brother-in-law is a government official, he told me this."

"Take a step to speak."

……

Huo Yunchao and Magistrate Wang knew nothing about this.

Arriving at the river embankment where the accident occurred, Magistrate Wang rushed to the front and poked the river embankment with a specially brought fire stick, causing a layer of sand to fall out.

Magistrate Wang cursed fiercely: "Boths! These damn borers! If they are not discovered in time and the river bursts its banks, the people and farmland downstream will be completely destroyed! By then, these damn borers will be destroyed. Even the chop is not enough to atone for the crime!"

More importantly, as a local official, such a huge man-made disaster occurred under his rule. Even if he died a hundred times, it would not be enough to apologize!

Huo Yunchao tried his best to appease Magistrate Wang's anxiety: "Sir, please be patient. This matter requires careful planning. The old accounts from the past will not be overturned until we repair the river embankment and let the borers show their true colors." !”

At this point, the wood has become a boat, and the river embankment has been almost eaten away by termites. The top priority is to summon farmers to come and build the embankment.

Magistrate Wang was so angry that his chest felt tight and painful. He had lived to this age and just wanted to do more good things for the country and the people before he died. Why was it so difficult?

When Huo Yunchao saw that Magistrate Wang was so angry, he quickly changed the subject: "Sir, I calculated an economic account, summoned farmers to come and build embankments and paid them wages for building embankments. The wages are not found in money, but in taxes. The corvee will be deducted."

"Yun Chao, your idea is too dangerous! If you are not careful, you will be..."

Huo Yunchao made a pause gesture, glanced around and said: "Sir, please listen to what I have to say first. I have made a major discovery in Zhou A Niu's documents! There are thousands of refugees in our county government who are treated like cattle and horses by the landlords and gentry. Keep her in captivity. The reason why Zhou Aniu wants to sell Xiao Guizi’s mother is because the supplies he and that group of people have are too expensive, far less cheap than the baby girls who live in exile.”

Magistrate Wang looked at Huo Yunchao in astonishment: "Yunchao, did you not give me all the documents?"

"No, no, no, sir, I didn't keep it privately! I asked my brother-in-law specifically. My brother-in-law can tell roughly what year they were produced from the texture of the paper."

Huo Yunchao hurriedly waved his hands to deny it. Seeing that Magistrate Wang was relaxed, he continued: "Sir, my brother-in-law has a real photographic memory. He always lacked a little luck in the imperial examination. When he was young, he was dragged down by the kindness of the Zhou family. I hope my brother-in-law can achieve his wish this year."

Magistrate Wang glanced at Huo Yunchao: "You can reach the sky in one step, you don't have to study hard in a cold window, and don't bother Shaoxuan!"

"Hehe, no matter how hard my brother-in-law studies, he has to have time to breathe, right? I went to find him while he was resting. Sir, you really prefer my brother-in-law!" Huo Yunchao complained deliberately.

Magistrate Wang laughed and scolded him a few times, and his mood, which had dropped to dust, recovered: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean. The resettlement of the refugees cannot be done in a day or two. Let me think about it. I thought Zhou A Niu's matter is the most important thing. I never thought that this river embankment is like bean dregs! I have to go back and think about it carefully."

Refugees refer to people who are forced to leave their hometowns and wander around without a fixed residence due to factors such as war, natural disasters, land desolation, and population migration.

In ancient times, the life of refugees was very difficult. They often endured the threats of hunger, disease and death. Since they have no fixed residence and livelihood, they have to rely on begging, doing odd jobs, and doing coolies to make ends meet. At the same time, due to their lack of social and political status, they are often oppressed and exploited by the government and the wealthy.

Huo Yunchao was never a man of words. He presented the crystallization of wisdom gained from discussions and exchanges with Zheng Shaoxuan: "Sir, you know my temper. I never fight an unprepared battle. Well, this is what I have thought hard about and added. Together with my brother-in-law’s wisdom, we came up with a solution for resettling the refugees!”
