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

Magistrate Wang was in high spirits. With tears in his eyes, he patted Huo Yunchao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay! Dasheng Dynasty has heroic young men like you and Shaoxuan, so why worry about not being prosperous?"

Huo Yunchao held his head high and said shamelessly, "Yes! That's right! That's what I thought!"

He just wanted to make Magistrate Wang happy. It was a mess left by the previous magistrate. Magistrate Wang should not take the responsibility on himself.

The best thing to do when encountering a problem is to try to solve it as much as possible, rather than complaining and blaming yourself, which is a waste of time.

Magistrate Wang laughed angrily at Huo Yunchao's cheeky answer and nodded: "You, you, you are so calm and steady, how can you have such a fancy mouth?"

Huo Yunchao replied nonchalantly and confidently: "Sir, you don't know this, do you? Hehe, I relied on this mouth to get a beautiful wife!"

After this gag, Magistrate Wang's mood stabilized. He no longer blamed his predecessor for doing nothing and leaving him with a big mess. Instead, he seriously analyzed with Huo Yunchao how to resettle the refugees and build rivers. The embankments are combined.

There is strength in numbers, this saying is true everywhere.

Especially in a farming society with low productivity, the labor force is almost equal to productivity. How to convert thousands of refugees into obedient citizens who can be recruited by the court will require Magistrate Wang and his think tanks to use their intelligence and adopt practical and effective measures. Only by taking action can we hope to achieve it.

Huo Yunchao frankly stated his true intention: "Sir, to tell you the truth, I have selfish motives. The reason why I bother Baal to think of these countermeasures is mainly because I am greedy for the thousands of refugees. Instead of letting them become landlords It is better to use the power of the imperial court to liberate the free labor force of the gentry, and then give them farm tools and seeds so that they can start farming to help themselves."

He has never been a benevolent person who helps people in distress. Everything he does is based on his own interests and he never bothers to hide his motives.

County Magistrate Wang had known Huo Yunchao's character for a long time. Hearing such a straightforward truth, he couldn't help but feel a little headache: "Yun Chao, I have told you many, many times. You don't have to speak so bluntly in the future! I know you are this kind of person, but others may not be able to accept it, so they may think of the bad side."

He reminded Huo Yunchao many times that he didn't need to be so transparent. He had some small thoughts hidden deep in his heart and didn't need to speak out to let others know. Everyone has their own little ninety-nine, what if they say it's okay but hold a grudge in their hearts? He has seen too many negative cases of boats capsizing in the gutter.

Huo Yunchao scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Sir, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I am not stupid, and I am only so honest in front of you and my brother-in-law."

He is not an ignorant fool. He is good at talking nonsense to others. He is very good at making people happy.

Magistrate Wang stopped talking. He couldn't say that he felt uncomfortable just now, could he?

Bah!

Huo Yunchao is absolutely right, no one is perfect.

Magistrate Wang put aside his inappropriate thoughts and dragged Huo Yunchao to discuss the refugee resettlement policy: "Yunchao, come and tell me about setting up a righteous land and establishing a righteous village."

Huo Yunchao had done a lot of preparation work. No matter which countermeasure Wang County Magistrate asked about, he could express his ideas fluently, and then modify and upgrade it according to Wang County Magistrate's questions.

It has to be said that Huo Yunzhao's insights were advanced enough. The refugee resettlement policies he proposed were based on the wisdom of strong men from many dynasties and eras, and were adapted to local conditions to improve these refugee resettlement policies.

Unconsciously, the sky turned dark.

Huo Yunchao was well prepared. He lit the lantern in the carriage and drove the carriage back to Pinglehou Mansion in person: "Sir, it's too late. Why don't you stay with me for one night? I'll show you what you want to eat." You can order food.”

Magistrate Wang's head was full, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. He forced himself to help Huo Yunchao: "Yunchao, you can cook whatever you want, and we'll have a few drinks."

"Okay!"

Huo Yunchao happily agreed and went into the kitchen to look for ingredients.

Magistrate Wang walked around the Pinglehou Mansion with a candle lantern. He walked from the front yard to the backyard for almost a stick of incense. He cleared his head of unnecessary distractions and found himself in the "greenhouse" that Huo Yunchao had mentioned. .

"Huh? Bean sprouts?"

Huo Yunchao's voice came from behind: "Yes, sir, I have fried the bean sprouts. Sir, you can make bean sprouts from mung beans and soybeans, and peanut sprouts are also delicious. Let's go, let's eat and chat." "

After drinking and eating, Magistrate Wang suddenly mentioned: "Yun Dynasty, Zhou Aniu is involved in more than just wealth-seeking rituals. He also has a serious crime that will lead to the annihilation of nine tribes."

Huo Yunzhao counted the numbers on his hands: "Destroy the nine tribes? You mean not only involving me, but also Xiao Fu Bao? That can't be done!"

Magistrate Wang was speechless by this question and asked angrily: "Is this the point?"

Huo Yunchao nodded heavily: "Yes! To me, this is the point. Sir, I don't care whether Zhou Aniu is dead or alive, whether he died with a thousand cuts or some other way of death, I don't care. I I only care whether Zhou Aniu’s case will affect our family.”

County Magistrate Wang originally thought that Huo Yunchao would take the opportunity to ask him what Zhou Aniu had committed, but Huo Yunchao refused to answer the question at all and asked again without giving up: "Yunchao, you really don't want to know what Zhou Aniu committed." What's up?"

Huo Yunchao once again told the truth: "No. I just want to farm well and lead the people around me to eat well and wear good clothes. If I have money and leisure, I can pursue spiritual pursuits. Then I can find ways to build roads and schools. In the future, my family will be happy." Bao is able to read and write even though she is a woman, and she is not afraid of others scolding her for being out in public all day long. Sir, I don't want to get involved in those things, I only care about my family. If my father, Xu, hadn't insisted on helping Xiao Guizi, I'm too lazy to care about Zhou Aniu."

Magistrate Wang didn't know for a moment whether to praise Huo Yunchao for his ambition or scold him for only caring about one-third of an acre.

Huo Yunchao patted his chest and said, "Sir, you don't have to worry about me. I won't interfere in Zhou Aniu's case. Just do whatever you want. If you need me, you can tell me. I will do what I can. "

He didn't dare to talk too much, after all, he really only wanted to take care of his own family's land.

Magistrate Wang gave up his idea completely and turned around to assign two tasks to Huo Yunchao: "Okay, okay! Just the construction of river embankments and the resettlement of the refugees you proposed are enough to keep you busy."

Huo Yunchao hurriedly waved his hands and refused: "What? Sir, you, you can't do this! I'm just giving you advice, you, how can you put the matter on me? I'm just a Pinglehou in name only!"

He had to rely on County Magistrate Wang to do anything, and he had no real power at all.

Magistrate Wang smiled extraordinarily kindly: "The purpose of my doing this is to make you a well-known Pinglehou."
