Chapter 373
The documents from the Ministry of Punishment arrived, and Chen Fan and the head secretary entertained the officials.

"Neither the county magistrate nor the county lieutenant?" The officer looked at the master book.

Chen Fan said: "They have just left, and they will go to Zhuangzi in the neighboring county to inspect it, and bring back some needed goods by the way."

The official sent a few words and left with the reward.Chen Fan showed the document to the master book.

After reading it, the master snorted: "It's been a few months? The main criminal will be executed in Dong Hou Wen, and the accomplices will be imprisoned on the spot. Those people will have no family members to pay, and they will have to consume food from the county government."

"You can let them work and reform through labor." Chen Fan said.

"Then we have to put them in shackles and send government officials to watch over them, which will not only cost money but also the government officials."

Chen Fan smiled and asked about the executioner.There used to be two executioners in the county. After the former county magistrate was arrested, they went home.Their information was registered during the census.

The chief bookkeeper said: "They have come to carry out their mission this time, should they continue to work in the yamen, or come to them when there is a case?"

Chen Fan looked at him, and he had no choice but to answer by himself: "If they want to be servants, they can be ordinary yamen servants. It is convenient when there are cases to be executed. If they don't want to come to the yamen, just pay them some wages."

Chen Fan agreed, and then asked who could contact him.The master said that he could wait until Master Zhang and the others came back to ask.

"How do you arrange the job as a servant?"

Wu Zuo is from a humble family, and the old Wu Zuo of the county government is getting old. Taking advantage of the downfall of the previous county magistrate, he also retired and returned home.One of his apprentices was unwilling to come to the county government.Fortunately, there have been no homicide cases in Yuanshuo County in the past few months, otherwise it may not be possible to get a job in this county temporarily.

The chief book said: "Yuanshuo County is now well-organized and harmonious, and candidates can be found slowly. The government servants are well paid, and some people will be willing to come. There must be people who are interested in prison, but we haven't found them yet."

Chen Fan looked at him: "I haven't found it after searching for several months? What if a corpse is found at this time? Who is in charge of the autopsy?"

The master book laughed.

"It would be nice if someone could time travel over here at this time." Chen Fan thought so.

She has been looking forward to a doctor coming through, but there has never been a knife in Changping Township.

Now she is looking to the forensic doctor again.

Zhang Ci and the others arrived at a farm in Yongchun County next door, and He Zhuang came up to greet them.

The county lieutenant took a look: "More than 300 mu?"

Zhang Ci nodded: "Master Bo has good eyesight. There are a total of 370 mu. The houses in the distance can't be seen clearly, and they occupy dozens of mu."

People are walking in the field.The rice stubble is still in the fields, some fields have been turned over, and no new crops have been planted, and the new shoots in the wheat fields are tender.There are many vegetables, and each ridge is different.

The most noticeable thing is the large expanse of grass.

"What kind of grass grows so tall! It's so much taller than a human!" The county captain was shocked.

"This is corn grass." He Zhuangtou replied.

"No wonder it grows so tall." The county captain understood, didn't corn just grow very tall.

"This grass is really beautiful. It fluctuates with the wind, like a blanket on the ground." The county magistrate pointed to one piece and said.

He Zhuangtou introduced: "This is called squirrel grass. The leaves are very thin, like thatch. There are two acres of it planted in Yuanshuo County. It will reproduce by itself. As long as the soil and climatic conditions are suitable, it can always survive. You see, long squirrel Thatched places have very few weeds."

"Really? It will inhibit the growth of weeds?" The county captain understood quickly.

He Zhuangtou smiled and said: "Yes, mouse thatch is especially good when planted under fruit trees, and it will not delay fertilization." He pushed aside a clump of grass, picked out a handful of soil, and said, "Look, the soil is still moist. , it’s very moisturizing.”

The county magistrate and county lieutenant also pushed aside a clump of grass and touched it.

"After they rot, they become very good fertilizers, and they also have a certain effect on loosening the soil, allowing the soil to aerate and permeate water." He Zhuangtou continued to introduce.

The county magistrate was very satisfied: "This kind of grass can be grown a little bit. It grows by itself. After two or three years, the soil can be fertile. The current population of Yuanshuo County can't grow so much land." A group of people walked and watched, and came to the a place to stay.

He Zhuangtou said: "My lords have worked hard, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first, and then we'll go look at the cattle and sheep."

A servant came to serve them tea, and we all sat and chatted for a while.When they saw the cattle and sheep, they all let out an exclamation.

"It's the first time I've seen so many sheep!" The county magistrate felt that he had learned a lot.

There are probably more than 100 sheep in the sheepshed, right?

"They all look so good!" The county lieutenant praised.

It was the smell in the sheep shed that made them unbearable.

"There are 120 five sheep here." He Zhuangtou said.

"Where are so many sold?" Xian Cheng was curious.

"It can be sold to the state city, or even the capital city."

"Does your magistrate know?" The county lieutenant wanted to know how the magistrate of Yongchun would deal with this farm.

"There weren't so many before. We heard that Changping Township became the magistrate of Yuanshuo County, so we collected some sheep from various places. Mr. Chen will definitely let the people raise cattle and sheep."

County lieutenant, how much does it cost to collect so many sheep?How many relationships?It seems that the county government has not been disturbed yet, the owner of this farm is not simple.

"People can't afford sheep. Merchants may be able to buy one or two if they have some money, but they may not be able to raise them well." The county magistrate thought, can these sheep really be sold to Yuanshuo County?

He Zhuangtou didn't take it seriously: "People can't afford to raise them, so they can get paid to help raise them. According to Mr. Chen's temper, it is very possible to build a few breeding farms and hire people."

The county captain hehe: "He Zhuangtou knows Mr. Chen very well?"

He Zhuangtou also chuckled twice: "Master Chen is famous far and wide, I have heard of it a little bit."

The county lieutenant snorted.

When they saw the cow, they were shocked again.A hundred cows, a farm actually raises a hundred cows.

"Does your magistrate know?" The county lieutenant still had the same reaction.

He Zhuangtou replied: "The county magistrate loves the people like a son, so he will not make things difficult for our little Zhuangzi."

The county lieutenant snorted softly, who are you coaxing?If it were the former county magistrate of Yuanshuo County, a layer of soil in this village could be peeled off, let alone so many cattle and sheep.No matter how much the county government loves the people like children, it will not be indifferent to so many cattle and sheep.What is the identity of the owner of this Zhuangzi?
"Many people still can't afford cattle," said the county magistrate.

He Zhuangtou smiled: "Master Chen used the method of installment payment when he sold the house, and the quilts were first given to the villagers on credit. Maybe the cattle and sheep will also use the method of installment payment?"

Yan Bo and Yan Bo were stunned. This He Zhuang opened his mouth and kept silent, Mr. Chen, did Master Zhang next to him not exist?The two secretly glanced at Zhang Ci. He had no expression on his face. He nodded and said, "Instalment payment can indeed be considered. It is also a way to let the people sign a contract to help raise them."

The county magistrate looked at the cows: "This cow is so well raised. Look at the meat on the body. The pieces are so distinct. It looks very strong. The sheep looks very fat and tender."

He Zhuangtou said with a smile: "Grass is very important to cattle and sheep. Most people raise cattle by the grass in the fields and mountains. Some of them are not as nutritious as pasture."

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant nodded in agreement.

He Zhuang led them to the warehouse, and Yan Bo and Yan Bo were shocked again.

The county magistrate looked at the piles of bags and asked He Zhuangtou, "Are these grass seeds?" There were as many grass seeds as grain, which really opened his eyes.

"They're all pasture seeds."

"With more than 100 acres of pasture, can you receive so many seeds?" The county captain was a little unconvinced.

"Grass seeds don't need to be eaten like food, just sprinkle a little in the field. Harvest more and use less, so there are so many every year." He Zhuangtou smiled.

Everyone went to the pig farm again, but there were not many pigs, only thirty or so.

Yan Bo and Yan Bo glanced at each other and began to think about the breeding industry in Yuanshuo County.

Everyone walked around the farm again.

The county magistrate said: "There is a cattle and horse market in Yuanshuo County, and there is no need to transport so many cattle and sheep there for the time being. If the pasture is more abundant, the people can be mobilized to raise cattle and rabbits. Oh, by the way, are there many rabbits here?"

"There are a lot." Zhang Ci nodded, "People in mountainous areas can raise some rabbits first."

After staying for one night, everyone got up early and transported some forage seeds to speed up the return journey.In the evening, they returned to the county office.
