This land was contracted by me [farming]

Riding a horse to meet the morning glow, and returning with the sunset.

After returning to the county government office, Zhao Keran handed over two baskets of green water vegetables and two pheasants to Wu Jiu and Sun Ying under the shocked eyes.

"These two chickens have to be raised. I have caught them for a long time in Jingyang Mountain. They can't be killed. They happen to be one male and one female. Maybe they will be able to eat eggs in two days." Zhao Keran looked at his hand lovingly. chicken out.The two chickens were already awake, but they didn't flop around, and they were carried by Wu Jiu obediently. This surprised Wu Jiu, he had never seen such an obedient chicken.

"My lord, what kind of vegetable is this?" Sun Ying pointed to the two baskets of green water vegetables, and then Zhao Keran looked away from the two chickens, and said with a smile: "This is the one that grows by the riverside of the village head of Hedong. Didn't you still go with us? That big green area is all there."

"Is this edible?" Sun Ying was a little surprised, and logically said that if he could eat it, he wouldn't have seen that large vegetable field yesterday.Ordinary people, farm households, no one has good food.I was busy all year round, with little money and few grains of food.

The wild vegetables in the field have grown, as long as they are edible, they will be wiped out by people from all over the world.

Only the inedible ones will grow wildly, and no one will move them.

"It's edible, and I know it. People in Hedong Village don't know they can eat it, so they haven't eaten it." Zhao Keran explained indifferently, and looked around, "Why isn't the county magistrate here?"

Sun Ying was still amazed at Zhao Keran's knowledge of plants, but he didn't come to his senses.At that time, Wu Jiu came back to him, "The old county magistrate knew that you went to Hedong Village again, and guessed that you wanted to take charge of Hedong Village. So he went to Xu's house to talk about the villagers' farming."

It was only after Wu Jiu said this that Zhao Keran remembered.The land in Hedong Village belongs to the Xu family.

If you want sustainable development, farming is a must.There are not many families in Hedong Village who own land, and they don't know if they are alive or not.If you want to farm, you really need the Xu family to nod.The things planted in the field must also be given to the Xu family according to the harvest.

Although Zhao Keran didn't want to take advantage of these family members for nothing, there was no other way.The fertile land is firmly in the hands of these people. If he wants to open up wasteland, he needs time and manpower.

A ready-made land can save a lot of time and even solve urgent problems.

He couldn't let Hedong Village eat wild vegetables for more than half a year, and besides, the wild vegetables were not enough to last that long.

And in addition to food, the accommodation also needs to be solved.It's not a problem to live in a cave all the time...

Still have to build a house.

The best houses for common people in Jingyang County are built of wood with thatched roofs.The aristocratic family is particular about living. Although the mansion is also made of wood, it is airtight, and the selection of wood materials is extremely limited.The roof is covered with tiles, and Jingyang is cold, so there is a lot of firewood.The tiles that are specially burned with a lot of firewood are precious.

Rural households can't even afford a wooden house. They just put together a few wooden sticks and wrap it with thick thatch to build a thatched house.

Zhao Keran touched his chin with his fingers, thinking about how to build this house.

Cement is definitely not good, not to mention that he doesn't know the cement formula, even if he knows, the time will not allow it.It's still cold today, maybe people will freeze to death.

Before Zhao Keran could think of a way, Fang Zhongyuan came back.

Without further ado, he took Zhao Keran to the study room. After closing the door, he turned around and pointed two fingers at Zhao Keran, and asked, "Two news, one good news and one bad news. Mr. County Magistrate, what do you want to hear first?" one?"

Zhao Keran was silent, why do people from Dayuan like to play like this?

"Good news, let me be happy first."

Fang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "The Xu family agrees to let the villagers of Hedong Village farm the land, and they are willing to only harvest [-]% of the grain."

It is indeed good news.

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that they don't provide grain seeds, so let the yamen find a way."

It's also really bad news.

The grain seeds that the tenants plant every year are given by the host family. Although the non-tenant households will keep enough grain seeds, Hedong Village has been destroyed.There is no way there are grains left.The yamen also only collects taxes, regardless of grain types.Although there are 000 and there are food seeds in the system mall, Zhao Keran doesn't know if he can unlock one after this task is completed.Even if it can be unlocked, it is not necessarily a staple food that can fill the stomach.

This is really sad.

"The Xu family's abacus is sound, and no one can offend it." Zhao Keran wanted to pull his hair in worry, "While selling our favors, we will plant the land. At the same time, we will not give grain seeds, and express to other aristocratic families that we are not on the same line with us. superior."

Fang Zhongyuan sighed, thinking that when he just arrived at Xu's house, he was turned away by the porter.If it weren't for the thought that the little county magistrate rode to Hedong Village in the cold wind early in the morning, he would be determined to take care of such a mess.He didn't know how to hold his old bones, gritted his teeth and waited at the door of Xu's house for a long time.

The Xu family was also afraid that Fang Zhongyuan would be offended, so they invited him in.

After hearing Fang Zhongyuan's intentions, the Patriarch of the Xu family sold out a lot of misery, saying that Zhang Shihai had suffered heavy losses on his land before.He also said that the new county magistrate was young and his family was from a family in Fengyang, implying that Fang Zhongyuan and Zhao Keran could not really care. He came from a prominent family and came here for the purpose of plating gold, and he would eventually leave in the same way as Zhang Shihai.

But Fang Zhongyuan just didn't listen, although the county government is empty now, but if there is no one, it is still a government office, and it is a public place.People, big and small, in Jingyang County have to go through the yamen to sign and stamp on the way out of the city.

The Xu family had resentment towards the Yamen in their hearts, Fang Zhongyuan knew it and could understand it.So, he stood there for so long without losing his temper.However, in the final analysis, everyone knows who the Xu family should blame.

If the Xu family really insisted on it, then he had no choice but to use his official authority to detain the Xu family from leaving the city.

I just hope that the little county magistrate didn't come on a whim. At his age, he can't stand disappointment anymore.

Fortunately, the head of the Xu family agreed in the end. After all, the matter of replanting the land, in the final analysis, his family is not at a loss.But now the timing is more sensitive, and because he didn't follow the pace of other families, he was finally overshadowed for a while.Now Patriarch Xu got the news, but said that the united front should not pay too much attention to the new county magistrate.

Both sides can't be offended, so let the little county magistrate solve the problem.The land is not given the seeds, and he can plant whatever he wants, and he has no control over it.

"Jing'an Mansion has set up a Sinon, otherwise I will write an official document and ask the Mansion to sow some grain?" Fang Zhongyuan frowned after finishing speaking, "It's just that General Guo is in charge of delivering the shop now. I'm afraid this official document will be a bit of a hassle."

"General Guo?" Zhao Keran was confused, who is this?

"The screen wall in front of the yamen was actually not that badly damaged, most of it was smashed by General Guo." As if thinking of something, Fang Zhongyuan couldn't help shaking.

Zhao Keran thought that the front of the yamen was not a ruin like a shadow wall, and he was also afraid, "Is this General Guo so violent?"

"It's not entirely his fault. It's just that the county magistrate Zhang robbed the food supplied to the army before he left. This General Guo has a temper, so he brought people to smash the county office and found that he was not there. Then he found Zhang County ordered the residence, and beat him up..."

Now recalling Guo Shen's hulking and glaring King Kong appearance, Fang Zhongyuan is still a little scared.This person is too bloody, it's better not to touch him.

Come on, it's Zhang Shihai again.Zhao Keran really wanted to meet this Mr. Zhang, to see if he was superhuman, how could he find trouble for him so much!

"I have to write what I have to write. After I finish writing, I will send it in person. I have no hatred or grudge against this General Guo. If the other party insists on making trouble, I can use my identity to suppress him." Zhao Keran pulled his sleeves, thinking in his heart for the first time Thanks to 000 for letting him wear a body with a family background.

Now that the county government is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, Zhao Keran is indeed the best candidate.

"What's this smell? So fragrant?" Although Fang Zhongyuan is old, his nose is very sharp.

Shumo was holding two bowls of porridge and was about to knock on the door when the door opened from the inside.

Fang Zhongyuan stared at the two bowls of porridge without blinking, and the compelling aroma penetrated his nose. He turned sideways to let Shumo enter the room.

"Young master, Mr. County Prime Minister, it's time for dinner." Shumo put the bowls and chopsticks, the smile on his face never went down, and his voice was full of happiness, "Master, you found this green water dish, it's really delicious. Wu Brother chopped up the porridge, and when it was put into the pot, the whole kitchen was filled with aroma."

Thinking of the smell of rice and vegetables mixed together, Shumo swallowed uncontrollably.

"The county magistrate found this dish? Is it edible?"

Fang Zhongyuan originally wanted to ask Zhao Keran how he went to Hedong Village today, but unexpectedly, he found an edible dish?

Zhao Keran had already explained that he didn't want to explain anymore, but he was in a hurry to eat, so he had to repeat what he said to the people of Hedong Village to Fang Zhongyuan again.Fang Zhongyuan was stunned when he heard it, good guy, the people from Fengyang are different.You know so much, you can even tell the difference between dishes.

Shumo was sent down to eat by Zhao Keran, and the old and the young drank porridge and delicious food in the study.After eating, Fang Zhongyuan dragged Zhao Keran to ask some details about his stay in Hedong Village. When he learned that Zhao Keran had caught two chickens, the little old man almost jumped up excitedly.

When Zhao Keran returned to the room, Zhao Xiaoyu had already fallen asleep, and he was still slamming his small mouth in his deep sleep, as if he was savoring the delicious porridge.

Shu Moshou waited for Zhao Keran to come back in the room, and prepared hot water for him to wash.

His feet were soaked in hot water, and his whole body felt warm. Zhao Keran looked at Shumo standing beside him, and said, "From now on, you don't have to wait for me so late. It's cold, so go to bed early. I can also wash myself."

Shumo just lowered his head, neither agreed nor refused.He understood the young master's kindness.However, he is also clear about his identity, and these things are what he should do.

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Zhao Keran stopped talking.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do.He can't be too unconventional.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Keran was woken up by the panicked Wu Jiu.

"It's not good! Your Majesty! Those two chickens are perfect!"

Zhao Keran huddled under the quilt, with confusion written all over his face, what the hell?
