After the county magistrates of the four counties took office, the people also heard about it, but they never saw any action from the county magistrate, and the initial expectations were slowly let go. Some people even shook their heads, chanted something, and then sighed.After knowing that the person who visited the village was the county magistrate, he was looking forward to it every day, just waiting for good news, even if there was a market in the city, he would go and have a look and let others go, but he would not Don't worry, he is the only one who can read some words in the whole village.

Today is the market again, the old village head counted the days, and ten days have passed, he decided to go to the city to see again, he was impatient, although the county magistrate gave people a very convincing feeling, but he was still worried, afraid of the county magistrate Forget about their village, I am afraid that what the county magistrate promised will go wrong.The village chief followed a hunter in the village to the city. Now the village can't even eat, and there are very few people going to the city. Only the hunter can walk to the city to sell some prey.

"Village chief, you have a market here and you go to the city. What are you doing?" Orion was really curious. Every time the village chief entered the city, he just stopped at the place where the county government issued an announcement, then shook his head and left. I asked him what he was looking at, and he didn't say anything.

"There are so many things to do, just go and have a look." The village chief thought to himself, whether the county magistrate is too young, and shook his head in his heart. He has no hair on his mouth.The village chief thought that if he went today and didn't see the new decree, he would not go next time until the end of the month.In fact, the village head thinks so every time, but when it comes to the market, he still can't control his legs.

As soon as the two of them entered the city, they saw a group of people rushing towards the four counties, and the accompanying soldiers were holding the banners of the Three Princes and the Ministry of Industry.The two stood on the side, waiting for the horses to enter the city before walking in.Orion was thinking as he walked, why did the Three Princes Mansion and the Ministry of Industry come to the four counties together?Is something big going to happen in the four counties?The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener paid attention to it. The village chief has always remembered the words of the county magistrate. Now that he sees this man, he immediately thinks about what the county magistrate promised.He thought in his heart that if there was no announcement today, he would come over early tomorrow morning and go to the county government to find the county magistrate, but he couldn't leave their villagers behind.

After the third prince entered the city with the people from the Ministry of Industry, he went straight to the county magistrate's mansion. They came with an imperial edict. The eunuch followed the third prince into the mansion. The wife of the magistrate of the four counties, Mrs. Lin Wu, received the order."

Wu Daicheng, who had a puffy stomach, was about to kneel down to receive the order, when the eunuch said, "The emperor said that Mrs. Lin Wu is allowed to stand and receive the order while she is pregnant."

All the people present were surprised, including the eunuch who came with the imperial decree. When he heard the emperor's words in the palace, he was so shocked that he was sweating. Never been treated like this.No matter how surprised the eunuch was, he would not dare to say that the emperor did something wrong.After Wu Daicheng listened to the eunuch's words, he thought for a while and knelt down, standing respectfully to listen to the order.The content of the emperor's imperial decree made Wu Daicheng a little dizzy. Classical Chinese is really difficult to understand. You have to think about it to understand the meaning. The general content is that Lin Wu's proposal is very good, and the court will fully support it. Just open your mouth, and the third prince and the Ministry of Industry will help. The people in the Ministry of Industry are only responsible for recording. If they have other behaviors, just talk to the third prince. The third prince has the power of life and death.

Rao, the people in the Ministry of Industry who knew what they came to do in Beijing were still dripping with cold sweat after hearing the imperial decree. It would be a lie to say that they were not lucky at all. Although they didn't know what they came here for, they probably knew It is definitely a very good thing, otherwise the imperial court would not pay so much attention to it, and they also look forward to the achievements like the Beijing News, but who would have thought that the imperial decree that came with them would make a big blow when they first arrived here.The people from the Ministry of Industry looked at Wu Daicheng with less friendly eyes.

The most important thing in the imperial decree is that Wu Daicheng was appointed as a moderate official. This official is not an official in the Beijing News who has no real power in the court, but a small official in the Ministry of Industry. It seems that it is actually a sheep's head, which is not of much use to him.Wu Daicheng was not the first di official in this dynasty, but he was the first di who held some small power.The former Di was mostly a recording officer.After receiving the decree, Wu Daicheng looked at the third prince, he really wanted to know what this little official could do.The servants quickly took the reward money from the eunuch, and poured tea to the ministers from the Ministry of Industry to greet the guests.

The third prince picked up the tea and took a sip, "You little official, although you have no right to life and death, you can still make officials below the magistrate go around in the prison." Wu Daicheng opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and when he watched The official who can manage the magistrate is already a high official, and the feeling of being an official for the first time makes him feel a little elated.The third prince looked at Wu Daicheng, tickled the corners of his mouth, and then continued, "That is, within the scope of your jurisdiction, only if officials below the magistrate make mistakes. If it exceeds the scope, you have no right to control it." .”

Wu Daicheng understood what the third prince meant after thinking about it, and nodded clearly, he was just being embarrassed at home, and he didn't have the courage to punish him, of course, if he really got into a hurry, it's not impossible . "An announcement will be posted tomorrow, and we will start to do all the preparatory work. Originally, I just wanted to find a village as a pilot, but this year the disasters in the four counties are really serious. If we don't act quickly, the villagers of several villages may be killed. starve."

"You don't have to worry about the relief money. If those corrupt officials spit it out, they'll let them go. If they're lucky and think they'll be fine, then just wait for their heads to be lost!" the third prince said There was a smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time, but it made everyone who listened cold.Wu Daicheng didn't think much, just nodded, but everyone in the Ministry of Industry who came with the third prince stiffened one by one, and they regretted coming along at this moment.It's too late to regret now, Wu Daicheng discussed with the third prince, he still needs a lot of things, and the sooner the better.The personnel from the Ministry of Industry came in handy immediately. Even though these people didn't have much craftsmanship, they knew where to find good things and good craftsmen.

With the help of these people, and a person who is very proficient in calculation, he quickly calculated the quantity of things needed, and then the purchase.The money was provided by the three princes and Wu Daicheng in partnership. The people from the Ministry of Industry who followed were not fools. They didn't even think about taking them with them, one was more powerful than them, and the other had more backing than them, how could they dare to speak up.The third prince and Wu Daicheng had their own ideas about not wanting to bring others. Firstly, this matter was to find a way for the villagers in the four counties. The four counties were poor, and it was impossible for the villagers to raise money by themselves.Secondly, the consideration of the third prince is the supply and marketing cooperative mentioned by Lin Wu's before. He wants to use the four counties as a pilot, and if it is done well, it can be promoted.

On the second day after the third prince arrived in the four counties, a notice was posted on the county bulletin board. The content of the notice was that the four counties would carry out winter plowing experiments in several villages. During this period, a large number of skilled farmers were needed. Experts can go to the county government for assessment and select the best for admission.Naturally, the notice could not just be posted at the gate of the county government office. Several government servants sent the printed notice to each village. When they met the village head and the heads of various clans and asked what it meant, the government servants could only explain it literally, and they didn’t believe it either. To be able to plow in winter, this is not the south, so plowing in winter is like a joke.The village chiefs took notices and recruited all the patriarchs.

The village chief who recognized the county magistrate hurriedly slapped his thigh when he saw the notice. He was different from other villages, and he felt that this would definitely happen.Whoever said that they can't do things well without talking about it, look, look, the newly appointed county magistrate has given them a way out. If this is done, they can have a good year even if they suffer from disasters this year.What the village chief is thinking now is not only to let the experts in the village go to the county government for assessment, but what he thinks more about is how to get the pilot to fall into their village.The village chief knew that not only his village was affected by the disaster in the four counties this year, but several other villages were more severely affected by the disaster than them. How they could win it made the village chief worry.Other village chiefs, who are far-sighted, think that since the county magistrate issued the announcement, there is a solution. What if we delay next year's harvest?

Wu Daicheng thought of what the villagers thought of. In fact, the villages mentioned in the announcement are not all. After Wu Daicheng heard the situation of each village, he had already decided that all the villages in the four counties should get a few acres of experimental land.If those who were not affected by the disaster were unwilling to rent out their land, they would not consider it. Those who were affected by the disaster were still unwilling, and they did not intend to open up wasteland, let alone force them. Regardless of them, the villages have to sign a voluntary renunciation paper at that time. Don't see a profitable village at that time, and they will go back on their word.The third prince felt that Wu Daicheng's refusal to go into business was a waste of talents, but Wu Daicheng sighed in his heart. In fact, he didn't think too much. Some things must be prepared in advance, otherwise he will be the one who suffers at the time.

Just as Wu Daicheng thought, there are many villages who are unwilling to rent out the land, but agree to open up wasteland. They will help him take care of it, and just pay some employment money when the time comes.The village chiefs who came to negotiate with the new county magistrate saw Di sitting next to the county magistrate wearing an official uniform, and heard that Di was the person in charge of this matter, they refused even more firmly. A Di with a big belly is not at home. What does he know about giving birth and messing around?
