Lingquan space: resentful couples are forced to take their cubs to farm

Chapter 209
After listening to Zhang Mao and Zhao Cheng's explanation, Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan knew the ins and outs of the matter, so they handed over the potatoes and sweet potato seeds in the space to Zhang Mao for sowing without saying a word.

"What is this?"

"These are the seeds of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which we cultivated ourselves. These seeds have no special requirements on the climate and fields, and they have a large yield. Once they mature, they will definitely alleviate the disaster."

Zhang Mao took these sweet potato seeds, as if he had acquired a rare treasure, and immediately ordered the government servants to sow the seeds after learning that the yield was large.

"If this time can really help us alleviate the disaster, I am willing to do everything in my power to repay you."

Lin Qingruo had heard many such words along the way, and her ears were already numb.

"No need, we are only for the people. You only need to govern one side of the people. This is the best reward for me."

Zhang Mao nodded repeatedly. Today's men can't be as concerned about the country and the people as Lin Qingruo. I don't want a woman to have a man's heart and do such a step.

True Ain was worried that his apprentice would make a mistake with the caravan, and was ready to set off again.

"It's almost time, let's go!"

"No, it's not the best time yet. Since the caravan is active nearby, we should stay here for a while longer, and investigate the situation before we start."

Everyone felt that what Lin Qingruo said was reasonable, so they agreed.

Now that she has settled down, she can't do nothing. Lin Qingruo decided to see what reforms Xishui County can make.

"Since we live here for a while, we don't want to live in vain. We can definitely help you solve some problems. Now take me to see the fields."

Zhang Mao didn't dare to delay, so he quickly arranged for his servants to take Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan to check.

"Master. Is that why you trust them?"

Siu Si next to him was a little puzzled. Normally, Zhang Mao was indifferent to those dignitaries, so why did he care so much about the two commoners?

"You didn't know that you came late. I have dealt with them before. They are the real gods of wealth. Not only can they help us alleviate the disaster, but they can also help us solve the most troublesome problem right now."

Zhang Mao lives here and knows the land conditions here.

Most of the middle-aged people in Xishui County are agricultural workers, and only some children and old people stay at home. This has been the case all year round, and the land has long since dried up. It is really up to them to change the status quo.

At the same time, Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan had arrived near the field, and found that the land here was different from other places.

"Look, there is definitely a famine around here. These lands simply lack people to cultivate them. If you look carefully, they are fields. If you don't look closely, you think they are roads that everyone can walk on."

Lin Qingruo couldn't bear to see such a situation, and secretly went out with Li Xiaoyuan at night to improve the soil with space spring water.

"We are here this time, we must change the situation here."

Lin Qingruo put down her eldest lady airs long ago, and went to work in the fields like a usual country aunt.

Soon they turned back with Li Xiaoyuan. On the way back, Lin Qingruo found a dark alley with a bad smell, so he went closer to check.

"No one has set foot in this dark alley, and it is an excellent place to commit crimes."

While speaking, Lin Qingruo stepped closer to the dark alley, only to find the corpses of beggars piled up in the dark alley with a feeling of anxiety.

"These corpses are ragged and have thick calluses on their feet. They must be some beggars. I want to see what Zhang Mao has to say this time."

Lin Qingruo rushed to find Zhang Mao in a rage.

"Zhang Mao, come out for me, how dare you let me tell you how to govern Xishui County with the imperial salary?"

Looking at Lin Qingruo's expression, Zhang Mao couldn't hide it, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Don't worry, listen to my explanation. Xishui County is considered good. With the help of your potion, the plague in the county can be stopped, and I also help other lines to overcome the plague. Other counties in Yunnan are in chaos due to the plague, but My ability is limited, I can only manage the common people in Xishui County, those beggars are foreigners who came to beg for a living from other counties, although I have the heart to save them, but I have more than enough heart but not enough power, I really can't do this..."

After hearing this, Lin Qingruo sat in a chair and pondered for a long time, then sighed.

"Three years to clear the county magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver, and only take care of the imperial salary, how can I take care of others?"

Lin Qingruo knew in her heart that Zhang Mao had tried his best.

For the rest he really had more than he could think of.

"How is the control in your Yunnan?"

Zhang Mao heard the words and told them in detail.

"Dian is divided into three weeks: Gunzhou, Qingzhou, and Baizhou. Xishui County and Cuishan County are in Baizhou, and they are all a certain distance from here. As a small county magistrate, I can't set foot in other counties."

Lin Qingruo had a general understanding of the scene where Diandi was located, so he could only order Zhang Mao to do his job well.

"We should pretend that we haven't seen what happened today. You find someone to dispose of those corpses. If the dog weather is stinky next year, how will you explain it to others? Besides, do your job well and don't let this The same thing happened again, if the local people fled to other counties because of the famine, you know what I, Lin Qingruo, do."

Zhang Mao could only bite the bullet and agree. Lin Qingruo had never set foot in the court, so he didn't know the danger of the court.

"I don't know how far I can go to satisfy you? However, eating the imperial salary to relieve the people's worries is what I have always pursued. I can guarantee that the people under my control will maintain the most basic food and clothing during the famine."

Seeing that Zhang Mao was not lying, Lin Qingruo nodded in agreement.

"I know your difficulties. It is absolutely impossible for an official of any size to manage the world. We will live in a few nearby counties for a few days and check it out. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to us. .”

Zhang Mao couldn't be more grateful to Lin Qingruo. Since he took office, the imperial court hastily issued an order to replace him and sent some silver taels, but he never took care of this side again.

On the contrary, it was Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan, two grassroots, if they were not close to each other often, they would really starve to death.

"I know that these days, if it weren't for you, there would be a mountain of corpses. When the plague is over and the people return from other places, they will definitely be able to take root here. When you come here again, it must be a different scene. .”

After Zhang Mao explained clearly, he immediately sent his servants to send Lin Qingruo to the carriage.

"Let's go. After all, they are common people. The master has already stepped into the official career. It will not benefit you two if they stay."

Zhang Mao didn't think so.

"This matter must not be publicized. Although Mr. Li Xiaoyuan is a commoner, he was at the top of the list last time. It will be a matter of time before he becomes an official in the court. His wife is not a treasure. Offend no one can offend them."

The people behind were taught by Zhang Mao and immediately knelt on the ground.

Looking at the carriage going away, Zhang Mao couldn't help but feel emotional.

Today there are fewer and fewer young people like this.
