Time travel from the red building

Chapter 41
There is little ice and frost at the end of the year, and spring comes to the grass and trees in the world.

It's early spring, the vegetation is growing, everything is recovering, and it's time for spring plowing every year.

In the late autumn of last year, Fang Rui shipped back tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and Yunqing bought several hundred acres of land, including medium and low-grade fields, and even fifty acres of sandy land, just to verify Yields of these crops in various fields.

Fang Dayong and Fang Rui, father and son, can now be called half agricultural experts. Under their guidance, last year's autumn grain harvest was bumper, which was at least one-fifth higher than in previous years. Seven hundred catties, the output increased, but the rent she received did not increase, which made Songzhuangtou and all the tenants very grateful.

Yun Qing is not stingy, and she does not have the idea that technology must be exclusively mastered. Scientific farming has achieved initial results, and she also knows that the progress will be slow if she only promotes it by herself, so she communicated with the prefect Xu and showed him the real results.

In the farming era, no one could refuse a method that could increase grain production. Prefect Xu was overjoyed, and immediately borrowed Fang Dayong. Taking advantage of the slack, he held a special training class to impart skills to the farming experts in various townships and villages. After the training, Fang Dayong was rewarded, and he agreed to invite him to various places to guide the work when the spring plowing was over, so as to increase the food production of the whole government and add a merit to his resume.

Xu Zhifu also lamented to his wife, and said very complacently: "I knew that Daoist Yun is very capable, and being friends with her is beneficial and harmless. You see, now, I just sit around at home, and the credit can be handed over to me." Now, who can have the blessing of this residence?"

Mrs. Tao nodded at the side, and said: "Master's eyes are like a torch, he saw early on that Daoist Yun is different from ordinary people, and he has a good relationship with Taoist priest. I will definitely continue to maintain a good relationship with Taoist priest Yun and protect Taoist priest's property. Maintain the tranquility of Xuanzhen Temple, and ensure that the Taoist priest will not be bothered by ordinary things."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and they understood each other's meaning: who knows what Yunqing has, right now they have the best relationship with Yunqing, so naturally they must be firmly grasped. If there is any credit, it is good to be close to the water, and the more capable outsiders, the less they can coerce and lure them. Maintaining good social relations and sharing certain common interests is the way to get along with each other for a long time.

Yun Qing may not be able to fully understand Xu Zhifu's thoughts, but it is not a problem to see through them to a full extent. However, just as Xu Zhifu thought, he has something for Yun Qing, and Yun Qing also has something for him. The protection of the head of the government can save Yunqing a lot of trouble, and the two sides can be regarded as mutual benefits, and Yunqing is striving for a win-win cooperation.

Moreover, the first time Yun Qingchao dealt with Xu Zhifu and his wife, he had shown the two of them and knew that they were good people with a bottom line and a conscience. The heart of the people, willing to be a good official who can protect one side, can also be called forging ahead, that's why Yun Qing is willing to associate with him, if it is replaced by a common people or a fatuous and incompetent official, Yun Qing will not follow him Dealing with, for example, the previous prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture.

The previous magistrate was quite old. I don’t know whether it was mediocre abilities or his ambitions were smoothed out. He just wanted to mess around, was best at making love, didn’t want to make up his mind about anything, and didn’t want to offend anyone. The salted fish lay flat and pulled down until retirement, and even claimed that he was learning from Lao Zhuang's rule of doing nothing, so that people didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, he wrote a letter to beg for bones last year, and then the magistrate Xu came to take over. Not long after he took office, he awarded Yun Qing a plaque of "Being kind and charitable". In the past, Yunqing still recognized the prefect Xu, so she was willing to give the credit to the prefect Xu only after she could see the results of scientific farming, otherwise, she would look for Lin Ruhai.

From the beginning of spring plowing, Fang Dayong followed the people arranged by Xu Zhifu to inspect and guide everywhere. Most people obeyed and feared the government. Even if the government wanted them to do something, even if they didn't want to do it, not many dared to do it. However, This time it is not compulsory, so some people are willing to listen, and some people don't take it seriously. It is still according to his old ways. Fang Dayong is doing a job for the government for the first time. His sense of responsibility and honor is overwhelming. When he sees that some people don't listen, he wants to persuade him , it's a pity that he is the most dull and stupid, and he can't say any big reason at all.

The servants arranged by Xu Zhifu were responsible for maintaining order and protecting Fang Dayong. He scolded the noisy people, and seeing that Fang Dayong was still unhappy, he persuaded him: "More than half of the people are still obedient. As long as you are right, follow what you say." It can really increase production, and everyone will see it when it is harvested. Those who refuse to listen are only jealous and envious. They are the ones who lose. Why are you angry, brother? We still have a lot of places to go Well, there's no need to argue with these worrying things..."

Fang Dayong said sullenly: "They are not willing to listen. The task that the adults have given is not well done. I am afraid that I will disappoint the adults."

Everyone laughed: "Your Excellency understands us and knows that no matter what, there will be unruly people's opposition, so I never thought about letting everyone obey orders once, but when they see the benefits, even if no one asks them, they will do it themselves! Brother Fang, you can rest assured!"

Fang Dayong was borrowed by the magistrate's yamen, and only Fang Rui was left in Yunqing's side. Songzhuangtou already had experience, so he didn't need to worry about it. Fang Rui was mainly responsible for the trial planting of new crops. Ladies and gentlemen, go to work on the newly purchased land.

The members of the Fang family and the Wang family are so capable, and they each have the ability to settle down. Yun Qing felt that they could live independently, so he raised the matter of releasing them again. This time they did not have much panic, and no longer Rejected immediately, the two families have gained a lot of insight now, they no longer think that they are worthless, and inevitably have some ambitions, so after discussion with each family, they both agreed to Yun Qing's proposal.

Yun Qing then gave them their registration, and each family gave ten acres of land, and the houses built for them at the beginning also fell under their names. The two families have changed, and they are also good citizens with houses and land.

However, Yun Qing used them to get used to it, and after consulting their opinions, he signed an employment agreement with them. The things everyone does remain the same, but it becomes an employment system, except for higher wages and personal freedom. , other things are the same as before, but the two families are happier. After all, they are still timid, afraid that they will not find a job after leaving Yunqing, and will not have a source of income. No worries.
