Chapter 74 Departing from Xincheng County

Before they knew it, it was the end of March, and they had been in Fangling County for more than half a month.

I have to say that Fangling County is indeed the county with the best harvest in Hanzhong County.

The land here is flat and closely connected to the river, so it is very convenient to irrigate.

Now that the spring planting is all over, Mr. Zhao can already imagine what kind of harvest will be here.

"Wang Taicang, the matter in Fangling County is almost over now, and I have to prepare to go to Xincheng County."

Generally speaking, the production matters in Fangling County did not bother her much.

Then Xincheng County, which has a relatively small output, will be the focus.

"My lord, then I'm going to prepare and finish the matter here."

Wang Deng said, planning to go back and tidy up.

"Oh, don't worry."

Zhao Jun is very familiar with Wang Deng now, she clicked her tongue and pulled him back.

"It's like this. I asked Lu County Magistrate. Xincheng County is not far from here. Just go south. I won't take you this time. We will divide into two groups. You should stay in Fangling County .”

"What, don't let me follow."

Wang Deng stared in surprise and raised his beard.

"Yes, that's what I mean. You stay here. I'll take Qingliu and the lieutenant to go. What's your opinion on the neighboring county?"

Zhao Jun has already made a decision, so he will pretend to ask.

"Uh, no, I dare not."

Wang Deng was taken aback by her, and then he remembered that Zhao Jun was his superior.

She almost forgot that she was also a person who said nothing because she was usually kind.

"Well, that's good. We'll leave in two days. By the way, you won't be fine if you stay here. You'll need to fertilize the field after a while. You'll be here to guide them in fertilizing, so that the crops will grow well in the future."

"Yes, the next officer takes orders."

Wang Deng had done the fertilization before, and it seemed that he had to deal with the smell again.

Two days later, Zhao Jun took Qingliu and Xiaowei to the south as scheduled.

Although it was a neighboring county, they traveled for a day and a night this time, which was much more difficult than when they came to Fangling County.

Zhao Jun didn't expect the journey to be so bumpy this time, mainly because it is not a flat road, but rather hilly.

When finally arrived at Xincheng County, Zhao Jun felt that he was about to fall apart.

"It's finally here, and I won't be able to do it anymore."

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Xincheng County, which should not be far from the county government office, Zhao Jun and the others decided to get off the carriage and walk directly.

When they got out of the car, they clearly felt the difference between this place and Fangling County.

The pedestrians on the street walked in a hurry, their faces were sallow, and their faces were sad.

Compared with Fangling County, it is like a sky and a ground.

Zhao Jun and Qingliu walked around and had a basic understanding of the situation in Xincheng County.

Then they rushed to the county government without stopping.

This time it was not the empty county government that greeted them.

"This is Mr. Neishi, the next official got the news a few days ago and has been waiting for many days."

The county magistrate this time fit Zhao Jun's imagination of a county magistrate. He was in his forties, with stubble, a thin body, and cautious.

"You are the county magistrate of Xincheng County, right? No need to be too polite. I am here this time mainly to see your spring plowing situation this year."

A group of people walked into the county government office, and the whole county government office was also very simple.

"Returning to my lord, the next official is Tan Ben, the county magistrate of Xincheng County. It's great to have you here. Our county really has a lot of problems to solve."

Tan Ben sat under Zhao Jun's head and stroked his forehead anxiously.

"Oh, there are a lot of problems, please tell me what are the problems first."

"Returning to my lord, it's like this. Didn't the above send out a seed called corn for everyone to plant this year? Although we planted it according to the above, everyone has no idea and doesn't know whether it is right or not, my lord. When you come, you must help us take a look."

"And then there is the fact that the terrain in our county is not good, and many of them are slopes that cannot grow crops."

"Also, our county is located in the lower reaches of the river, far away from the river. Every year, many people can't water much, so the harvest of this crop is even worse."

Tan Ben spoke as if pouring bitter water, his face full of sorrow.

"Okay, I know what you said, so, take me to the field in the afternoon to have a look, and I'll see how your corn is growing."

Zhao Jun frowned, she was not in a good mood when Tan Ben said this.

After a hasty lunch, several people walked towards the field non-stop. At this time, many people were farming in the field.

Almost everyone has a sallow complexion and a thin body, and the children waiting to play are also thin and small.

"Magistrate Tan, you are here again. We have planted all the corn you mentioned. I wonder if the harvest will be better this year."

It was an old man who spoke, and he looked quite old with a cane.

"Old Fei, this is an adult sent from above to guide us. I believe this year will definitely be better."

Tan Ben introduced Jun Zhao to others.

"My lord from above, see my lord."

"Yes, yes, see my lord see my lord."

Hearing Tan Ben's words, those ordinary people who had never seen an official older than the county magistrate knelt down and saluted for a while.

Zhao Jun looked at a large group of people kneeling, and felt very uncomfortable.

It can be seen that everyone's life is not easy, but now these people are still full of smiles on their faces.

"Everyone get up, get up quickly, don't be too polite." Zhao Jun shouted to make everyone get up.

She walked into the field and looked at the place where everyone had planted before.

Generally speaking, there is no problem, and some have begun to break ground and sprout.

They turned to night, and Zhao Jun looked at all the places that had been sown.

"No problem, magistrate Tan, the seeds that have been planted are growing well."

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the people who spoke had just returned to the county office.

"My lord, you'd better go to bed early, let's talk about what you have tomorrow."

Qingliu has been by Zhao Jun's side all the time. They were already very tired after bumping all the way to Xincheng County, and after running so many places in the afternoon, she could feel that Zhao Jun was already very tired.

"That's right, my lord, I have already arranged the room. Since there is no problem with the sowing, you should rest first."

Tan Ben felt relieved when he heard that the planting was okay, and then he realized that Zhao Jun was tired, so he hurriedly let her rest.

Zhao Jun herself is dying too, she is indeed too tired to walk.

"Well, I'll go later."

She still has something to say that she hasn't finished explaining.

"Although the current sowing is no problem, I have seen that the general watering is a little bit less. When the seedlings grow out, the demand for water will be greater. Tomorrow we will go to a place near the river to see that the irrigation problem must be solved."

"Yes, my lord, I will ask someone to arrange it tomorrow morning, you should go to rest first."

Tan Ben was very moved, he never thought that the grown-up was so tired and still thinking about the crops in the field.

"Okay, you arrange it, I'm going to rest."

Qingliu supported Zhao Jun and walked towards the tidied room.

Zhao Jun didn't care about anything, and no matter what the environment was, he really fell asleep and didn't even have the energy to wash up.

In a daze, she only felt that what was it in Fangling County before, it was too happy.

Although she has only been here for half a day, she feels more tired than half a month over there...
