Chapter 375 What's Happening Over The Mountain?

"My hands are shaking now and I can't write."

"It's okay, I'll write it for you." Qing Ji said, "It's a job that the yamen servant should do."

The man faltered: "The Zhang family said that their daughter-in-law was beaten to death, but in fact it was his daughter-in-law who seduced my father, was found out, dragged back and beat her to death."

"Ridiculous!" The county lieutenant was so angry that he opened the case file and began to read Guo Xunkai's criminal evidence written on it.

There are so many crimes that the county lieutenant couldn't finish reading it in 10 minutes.The man lowered his head, unable to see his expression.

Suddenly there was some commotion in the distance, and the sound was buzzing.The crowd suddenly dispersed to both sides, leaving a passage in the middle.

The man raised his head triumphantly, but after seeing the person clearly, he sat down on the ground in horror.

Xiang Jian bowed and said, "These six villains want to assassinate Mr. Chen."

Zhang Ci stood up abruptly: "How is your lord? Did anyone else get hurt?"

"Your Excellency is fine, no one was hurt and no one was frightened."

There was also a stir in the street. Someone actually assassinated the court official who loved the people like a son?
"Are they crazy?"

"Assassination of adults should be beheaded."

"No county magistrate has ever given subsidies to the common people. If something happens to Mr. Chen, what shall we do?"

A large group of people were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush forward to punch a few times, but were scared back by the whip blast.

The county lieutenant looked at everyone: "They will be punished by the law, and they must act in accordance with the law."

Zhang Ci glanced at the person who was tied up: "Procrastinate first, go back to the county government for trial. Now finish the matter here."

Xiang Jian and the others dragged those few away.The county lieutenant announced in public: "Thirty sticks will be punished for disturbing the court." Two yamen servants walked up to the man with a board, and pushed him to the ground without any effort.

Thirty boards, the man was dying and was dragged off the stage.

The county lieutenant threw a command arrow: "Execution!"

After finishing the execution ground, Zhang Ci rushed back and rushed to Chen Fan.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine." Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder, "Xiangjian and the others are all here, and they were caught as soon as they came in with their three-legged cat skills."

"But they are vicious enough, and going crazy will inevitably hurt people. It is not allowed to hurt anyone." Zhang Ci said.

"Everyone is fine, you know what has been arranged here."

"But I'm afraid of accidents." Zhang Ci had lingering fears, "I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles on the execution ground."

Cao Justice was very angry: "They think the county government is empty, so they want to come to assassinate? Do you want to hold the county magistrate hostage and rob the court? Stupid and arrogant."

The county lieutenant signaled to Zhang Ci: "Master Chen was somewhat frightened, go back and rest first."

Zhang Ci helped Chen Fan back to the backyard, and hugged her tightly: "I should stay in the county government."

Chen Fan patted him on the back: "If you keep doing this, you won't be able to comfort me. Your subordinates are all masters."

"Okay, I'm not panicking, and neither are you."

"Let's talk about something else, like what's going on over the mountain." Chen Fan said.

"Why is it a dangerous topic again?" Zhang Ci didn't want to say.

"Because you haven't told me about the situation there in detail, you just mentioned one or two specious things."

Zhang Ci let go of his arms, and sat down on a chair again: "Last year, we took down the nearest cottage and let the people cultivate the land well. From last year to this year, the harvest has been pretty good."

"Is anyone going to grab the site?"

"Yes, the neighbors have been tidied up by the way, and let them continue to farm. The area along the mountain is relatively stable at present." Zhang Ci said.

"Can the manpower keep up? Are they safe?"

"There are people from all the farms, don't worry. It's been a few years, and the weather is somewhat better."

Cultivating so many people is not something that ordinary families can do.Other big clans must have such powerful influence, but where is their influence used?
"What should we do next?"

"Stability first, let the mountain people have food in their hands and live a stable life."

"Are there other forces in the past?" Here Chen Fan has been worried.

"There are all kinds of forces there. The land of no man is that anyone can go. Let's have something to eat, and ask Mother Xu to bring some bird's nest." Zhang Ci said and walked out.

The blacksmith shop sent the telescope over, and Zhang Ci carried Chen Fan into the room, saying, "Let's verify the results."

Chen Fan took a telescope and put it in front of his eyes, and the distant scene suddenly appeared huge and clearly in front of his eyes.

"Oh—" Chen Fan let out a cheer.

"So happy? You didn't seem to have anything new before." Zhang Ci was surprised and delighted.

"There were only a few lenses before, so what's there to be happy about. Now I can really see the distance, of course I'm happy. My husband is really strong, and I made a telescope." Chen Fan changed another one and saw even further .

"Try this again." Zhang Ci graciously handed over the third telescope.

"This one seems to be the clearest, but it's not too far away."

"Yes, the effects of the three telescopes are different. The dense jungle needs to be clearer, and the farther the open space, the better." Zhang Ci is very satisfied with the results of his labor.

"Do you want to make more?"

"Think about it, three are definitely not enough, I want to send one over from my father's side."

"Just send the one with the farthest distance." Chen Fan thinks that one is suitable for the north.

"Listen to Madam. Make a few more lenses, but I'm afraid the next batch of lenses will be different."

"Very likely. The more stable the process, the more stable the performance of the finished product. The mold is also very important. But it doesn't matter, no matter what the lens is, my husband can make them into the best telescope."

Zhang Ci grinned until his ears: "For the sake of Madam's words, for Fuding, we should strive for excellence and do every mirror well."

Zhang Ci arranged for two guards to send things to the north.

Most of the officials of the county government came to the official field to watch the potato harvesting process.Many nearby people also came.Chen Fan didn't go there, her belly was already big.

Like harvesting sweet potatoes, the members of the farming team carefully dug up the soil and picked up bunches of potatoes.

"Wow--"

"Oh--"

"As many as sweet potatoes!"

"Is it also a few thousand catties?"

"Next year I want to plant too!"

Everyone watched enthusiastically that the team members dug a few more holes and weighed the potatoes, more than 100 catties!
Such an acre of land can produce three or four thousand catties!
People's desire to grow potatoes has become stronger.

Chen Fan taught the cook to cook two big pots of potato stew and one big pot of stir-fried shredded potatoes, and everyone present shared some.

The common people are very surprised, they also have?

The servings in the bowls of the officials were relatively large. They squinted their eyes after taking a bite of the potato stew. It was so delicious?Soft and rustling, I can't wait to add my lips several times.

The people were even more excited. It turns out that potatoes can be made into delicious dishes, not only to keep them full, but also to eat well.

Next, everyone tasted shredded potatoes, which are refreshing, crispy and tender. When you eat porridge and rice, stir-fry a plate, it must be very delicious.
