Chapter 191 Master Yao Promoted to County Magistrate

Chen Fan led Liu Huaishan to meet the adults.

General Yan behaved quite calmly this time: "Miss Liu is so young, but she is so calm and generous, she is not bad compared to the ladies in the capital."

Liu Huaishan saluted again: "The general is overwhelmed, but the women of the people are still inexperienced, and they need to learn more to shorten the gap with the noble ladies in the capital."

There was a smile on the faces of all the adults.

After washing up and having dinner, the adults sat at the table and drank tea.Chen Fan and Zhang Ci were by the side.

Zhang Jiuyan looked at Zhang Ci: "The director Yao has been promoted and appointed as the county magistrate of Shengping."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Yao Shouzheng is capable and has people in his heart. The terraced field project last time was done very well. He will definitely be grateful to the adults for his attention and do more practical things for the people of Shengping County."

Zhang Jiuyan smiled lightly: "He should thank you and Miss Chen first, right?"

Chen Fan got up and saluted: "For Mr. Yao, it is an opportunity to build terraced fields, and for the daughters of the people, it is his help. Without Mr. Yao, the idea of ​​terraced fields at Yema Mountain can only be shelved. He is lucky enough to be promoted, yes It is because of his own ability and love for the people, and it is also the reason why all the adults love talents and scholars."

All the officials looked at Zhongshu Ling with deep meaning in their eyes, and Zhongshu Ling showed a faint smile.

Chen Fan lowered his eyes halfway, taking their expressions into his eyes, feeling a little puzzled.

In Shengping County, in a small courtyard, Master Yao looked at the appointment document crying like a child, and his wife Luo Qin also wiped away tears excitedly, saying: "It's been so long since the official received the document, why did you return home? Crying a lot?"

Yao Shouzheng wiped away his tears and sniffed his nose: "I didn't bother to cry at the county government office. I sincerely thank Mr. Zhang and express my determination to deal with my colleagues and hand over various affairs. Now that I'm home, I Only then can I stare at the document for a while in peace and stability, and I will be excited when I look at it."

The five-year-old son Yao Zhicheng looked at the words on the paper like a sieve, reading a few words and missing a few words, barely understanding the meaning.

"Father is going to be the county magistrate?" Xiao Zhicheng looked at his father with half surprise and half doubt.

"Yes, dad is going to be the county magistrate." Yao Shouzheng nodded solemnly.

"Father is the biggest official in Shengping County?"

"Yes, Dad can do whatever he wants."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to control the river, improve the land, and let the people have enough to eat." Yao Shouzheng said excitedly.

"Will those bullies give you trouble?"

"Yes, but it won't be as crazy as before. Today, officers and soldiers approached several gentry, checked what they had done, gave them admonishment, ordered them to return some land, and compensated some money to the sufferer. They will be more or less restrained in the future.”

"Will they retaliate?" His wife Luo Qin was a little worried.

"There must be revenge, but they will definitely bear it in the short term. Master Zhang said, don't be afraid of them, the court is still there, and the law is still there."

"Will Daddy take their money?"

"No, and I can't. Eat people's mouths softly, but take others' hands short. I can't be controlled by them." Yao Shouzheng said seriously to his son.

Then, he sighed again: "I can be promoted this time, I really have to thank that Miss Chen and Mr. Zhang."

Luo Qin looked at him: "That Miss Chen who needs to build rice terraces?"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for her wanting to build terraced fields, I wouldn't have anything to do."

"What about Mr. Zhang?"

"Mr. Zhang once told me that if the terraced fields are built this time, it will definitely be a good start for the transformation and utilization of barren hills in Shengping County. Many mountains in Shengping County can grow more food. As long as it can be used for the people If I do practical things, I will definitely be able to make more achievements." Tears welled up in Yao Shouzheng's eyes again.

"That son's tone sounds like a boss or a senior." Luo Qin said.

Yao Shouzheng felt the same: "So I thanked them for their kindness at the time. Fortunately, the Yemashan terraces were done very smoothly and successfully, and the rice yields were high. Yemashan and Qijiadu became famous all at once. "

"It's strange to say that Yema Mountain and Qijiadu have just been reclaimed, and the time for transplanting rice seedlings is too late. The rice in those two places grows so well and the yield is so high." Luo Qin asked a question.

Yao Shouzheng found many reasons: "Plants will change, otherwise there would not be so many new varieties cultivated. Perhaps those lands have some fertility, some rotten branches and leaves, and after deep plowing, they are also The first time we planted, the batch of seeds was good, and the yield increased immediately.”

Luo Qin nodded dubiously.

"Now why the high yield is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that we have to distribute this batch of rice seeds to more people, so as to grow more food, so that the people in Shengping County will no longer suffer from hunger and poverty." Yao Shouzheng explain.

Wu Zhongsu reported to everyone the changes in personnel positions in Guangyun County and Shengping County. This is not confidential information, and he can tell Chen Fanzhang to resign from them.

Chen Fan still has an impression of the county captain of Guangyun County.During the confrontation on the street, his attitude towards the Shen family was much tougher than that of Yang Pei.Now that he has been promoted to the county magistrate, he may not be too soft on those gentry.

"Tomorrow we will send people to the prefectures and counties to deliver posts, and invite the officials to come and collect the rice. Before they come, shall we visit Miss Chen's Su Garden?" Tang Chaoying looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan reacted quickly: "It's an honor, welcome."

"We're leaving tomorrow. General Yan isn't going there, is he? You still have soldiers here." Zhang Jiuyan said.

"Don't soldiers have centurion commanders? Doesn't it matter if I stay or not?" Yan Shoulu refused.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci went back to the house.Chen Fan looked at him: "Why did the adults send someone out tomorrow to deliver the post? They can deliver the post when they get here."

Zhang Ci smiled: "As soon as they arrived here, they fought, arrested people, and even arranged for dinners? These days, it's a fake village again, and there are personnel changes, and things happen one after another. I'd better deliver the letter later."

There are too many things to delay the delivery of the letter. When the work here is over, the officials will come and lead the rice back to each house. How wonderful.

"The post-delivery is to stay in Su Garden for a few days? Do the adults have that much free time? Don't think about doing something in Yuanfeng County again?" Chen Fan had reason to doubt.

Zhang Ci chuckled: "Maybe a fake village was also found in Yuanfeng County?"

Chen Fan didn't smile: "Didn't you investigate all the big households in Yuanfeng County?"

"Then you won't notice every village. Those with a higher level of camouflage are just like ordinary villages."

"After all, there will be a difference, right? Ordinary people have been doing it for a long time, and suddenly they are asked to rob, murder and set fire. Will they do it?"

A person's temper is always there, right?
Zhang Ci stopped laughing: "Do you know the invisible army?"
