farming female castellan

The imperial court was very efficient. A month later, an army came to take over the salt mining work. Even the sixth prince, Chen Zhongyan, was only allocated a small piece of land.

At the same time, the imperial court issued an order to appoint Chen Fan as the governor of Chunzhou.

Chen Fan is not happy, she can still contribute to the prosperity of the country and the people if she stays in Yuanshuo County all her life, there is no need to pick up another huge mess.The fact that a woman is an official has aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers. Seeing that she knows how to farm, everyone still reluctantly accepts her as a county magistrate to enrich the granary, but now that she is still appointed as the governor, the hostility of those officials will be even stronger. People from the Inspector's Mansion would also throw wood at her, or even throw bricks and stab knives at her.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, trying to persuade himself not to be angry.

Chen Zhongyan clenched his fists in anger: "Are you going to leave when the building is almost finished? Can't other officials do what you have done by reclaiming wasteland, planting grass to fertilize the fields, and building water conservancy? Do you have to change places?"

Zhang Ci smiled: "I really hope that Chen Fan will not be the county magistrate. We can rely on you, the sixth prince, to live and drink freely." But they can't be their own masters, they are the tools of the court.

Cao Dezheng didn't have a happy expression either: "If it were someone else, the officials would definitely congratulate him on his promotion. This is the honor that many people dream of. But Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang have worked hard for my Daxiang Dynasty's high food production and the well-being of the people. The position of the governor may not be easy to do."

Changping Township Lord is welcome to Yuanshuo County. It is too poor and hopeless here. With Chen Fan and Zhang Ci coming, grain production has increased, the market has become active, and scholars are promising.But do the people in Chunzhou Governor's Mansion care about this?Are you willing to cooperate?
The yamen servants cried like children.In the past three years, they have formed a deep friendship and learned a lot of skills. Now that Qingji and others are leaving, they are reluctant.

Qingji said: "You can recruit ten more yamen servants to form a team with you, and each of you can be the captain."

Zhang Erniu whimpered, "I just want to follow Big Brother Qing, and I don't know how to take others along."

Qing Ji smiled and punched him.

Mo Jian gave a set of tools to Zuo Zuo: "Maybe it will be useful in the future."

Wu Zuo liked that set of tools, but regretted the departure of Mo Jian and the others. He took the tools with both hands and said, "I really hope I never need to use them."

Zhang Ci transferred the winery to Cao Dezheng.

Nanny Xu was worried: "Why are you going out during pregnancy again? The bumps are very dangerous at this time."

Chen Fan comforted her: "Now that the concrete road has been built, it is relatively stable to walk on."

"It's still bumpy." Nanny Xu was still unhappy.

When Mrs. Feng received the news, she didn't feel the slightest joy of being promoted, so she said angrily: "Put her on the fire."

When Chen Ya saw the letter, she waved her arms angrily and shouted, "I want...forget it."

Chen Zhongzhu sighed: "Yuanshuo County still has a lot to do."

Chen Zhonglin said: "We can't help much. The elder sister and brother-in-law have worked too hard these years."

Chen Zhongmei looked at the knife in his hand: "Let's do our own thing well, don't let eldest sister and brother-in-law worry. A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and we must become stronger and stronger."

Chen Fan gathered a group of melon farmers and gave them a batch of watermelon seeds to grow seedlings.

In three days, Chen Fan and the others handed over the work, packed up their things, and Chen Zhongyan accompanied them to set off.

It was the vernal equinox at this time, and people were busy in the fields along the way.

The administrative districts of Chunzhou and Xiangzhou are not very well arranged, they are all in a long row, not clustered together like other states.Zhenghe County and Yongchun County in Chunzhou are just next to Yuanshuo County, while the other counties in Xiangzhou extend northward like stacked squares.Go east through Zhenghe County and Chunhe County, which is Chunzhou City.If you go further to the east, you will find Linya County, where the former bandit's nest Lang Mountain is located.Going east through Chunning County, you will arrive at Yuanfeng County.

There is also Zhengchun County, just south of Linya County and Chunning County.

Zhang Ci took Feng Shan to Yongchun County to convey instructions, and Chen Fan and the others arrived at Zhenghe County Yamen in the afternoon.

The county magistrate Chai Jingxi led the officials to welcome him.Chen Zhongyan copied their names, ages and family information on paper.

Chen Fan said that he mainly understands three issues: one is the cultivated area and harvest of various crops; the other is whether the county can implement various subsidies; the third is what projects are wanted but not done well.

Chai Jingxi is new here, and the former county magistrate was relegated to work elsewhere.He said that Zhenghe County is poor, and last year was severely affected by the disaster. This year, it is impossible to provide subsidies, and the area along the river often suffers from floods.

"Didn't the embankment be built? What did you do for the annual labor?" Chen Fan felt strange.

Chai Jingxi said: "It is built every year, but it is often washed away by the river."

Chen Fan told him: "I have been to many places, either along the river, or along the lake, or along the coast. There are often roads beside the embankment, and pedestrians just look at the scenery on the embankment."

Chai Jingxi disagreed: "The water in those places is relatively slow."

Chen Fan asked him about the acreage, and he looked at the county captain and the others.The county lieutenant introduced the situation.

Chen Fan asked the fishermen how their life was, this time the county magistrate knew better.

The next day, when Zhang Ci and the others came over, everyone set off for the riverside together.

The terrain along the river is very flat, and it is all farmland.Mo Jian said: "There is a Yu River over there, which flows from Yuanhu Lake through Yuanshuo County, Zhenghe County, and flows into the Yangtze River in Chunhe County."

Chen Fan listened silently.Rivers pass, but shipping does not.

Chen Fan asked Chai Jingxi, "Where does the river go when it floods?"

Chai Jingxi pointed his fingers, and there were some farmlands in that area.

Chen Zhongyan glanced at it: "The embankment can be farther away from the river, and more tidal flats should be left for fishermen and water birds to move about."

Chai Jingxi felt strange: "Don't you always encourage the people to open up wasteland? Why do you let the land that is being planted be left uncultivated?"

Chen Zhongyan said: "There is less land along the river, more land can be reclaimed elsewhere, and the land elsewhere can be replenished to farmers."

Chai Jingxi was a little embarrassed: "This county has many mountains, and the soil layer is mostly gravel. Many hilly areas are bare rock, and the soil fertility is poor. People may not be happy to change the land elsewhere."

Chen Fan looked at him: "Potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, sesame, peanuts, and even watermelons can be grown with more gravel. Besides, Zhenghe County is not all mountainous. There are three or four percent of cultivated land, right?"

Chai Jingxi remained silent.

Chen Zhongyan said: "Now it's spring plowing, let the people continue to plant, and take time to reclaim wasteland in the hinterland."

After the carriage drove along the river for a while, Zhang Ci said, "A cement road can be built along the embankment, which is convenient for fishermen and farmers."

Chai Jingxi was very embarrassed: "Last year, the construction of cement roads on the main official roads cost a lot, and I am afraid that it will not be completed for the time being."

Instead of talking about work, we talked about the flowers, plants and trees we saw along the way.

They arrive at a pier.Chai Jingxi said: "This wharf is close to Chunhe County, and most of the goods shipped by the two counties circulate through this wharf."
