Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 69 Qianjiaya

Qingxi County Government.

Chen Qingsi was consulting with five old farmers about raising seedlings in spring.

Qingxi County's ability to get on the right track and enter a state of sufficient food depends on whether this year's spring plowing goes smoothly.The primary factor in spring plowing is seedling cultivation.

Chen Qingsi knows that to do something well, the most important thing is not to make your own decisions, and let the layman lead the expert.

At this important moment, Chen Qingsi invited the most famous farmers in the county to come to the county government office to listen to their suggestions and planned to hand over the task of raising seedlings to them instead of letting his subordinates handle it.

The old farmer was a little afraid of Chen Qingsi, the county magistrate, but Chen Qingsi did not have the airs of an official, and he really had a certain understanding of farming.

Chen Qingsi himself planted fields when he was young, and later generations also visited the whole process of seedling cultivation, so he has the right to speak.

After several conversations, the old farmer discovered that the young county magistrate had real talents and knowledge. Just as he introduced himself, he was born a farmer and had done farm work.

When it comes to their own professional fields, as soon as the conversation begins, they put aside their awe and speak eloquently.

Chen Qingsi has experience in this field, can listen to the conversation, and can also give some opinions.

The seedling raising methods of later generations may not be effective if they are really used at this time. On the one hand, seeds have a process of evolutionary improvement, and on the other hand, it is naturally due to technology.

However, details, such as temperature control, seasonality, and density, still have reference significance and value.

Just when I was about to get excited, I suddenly heard a noise outside.

Chen Qingsi confessed to Wu Lao and strode out of the government office lobby, but was shocked to see the darkness outside.

For a moment, I even suspected that there was a rebellion.

Kuang Zheng ran up with excitement on his face and explained the reason.

Chen Qingsi breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of emotion and a hint of shame flashed deep in his eyes.

He certainly had selfish motives for working so hard for Qingxi County.

Qingxi County is a well-known dilapidated place. If this dilapidated place can be turned into a miracle, it will leave an indelible mark on the credit book.

His selfishness, now facing the sincere emotions of the people, would inevitably put him to shame.

"Folks, you don't have to be like this! I deserve it..."

Hu Kui said: "If it weren't for County Magistrate Chen, our county wouldn't know what kind of harm the Du family's beasts would have caused."

In Chen Qingsi's place, Hu Kui was Master Hu, and his skills were respected. However, when Du Chunbin and Du Zi were in charge, he was like a tool man, being ordered around. Not to mention demanding wages, and if he was not satisfied with his work, he had to pay for it. Being beaten is really not a life for human beings.

Hu Kui's words aroused a chorus of approval.

"My ancestral land was confiscated by Du Zi, a dog thief, and it was brought back with the help of County Magistrate Chen."

Aunt Zhou even said: "My grandson asks me where my mother is all day long, and I want to die after hearing this. I don't even dare to go to Du Zi, for fear of an accident, leaving me alone My grandson is alive and has no one to take care of him. It was the appearance of County Magistrate Chen that allowed my baby to enter school and gave him hope for life."

Your words and my words moved Chen Qingsi even more.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd, "Dad, why are you here?"

It turned out that the five elders from the county government office came out to check the situation.

Lei Ping, one of the five elders, said: "County Magistrate Chen was thinking about plowing the seedlings in the spring, so he specially sent a carriage to invite us old guys to come together to entertain us and discuss how to raise the seedlings."

The surrounding people were even more moved after hearing this. They felt that County Magistrate Chen was thinking about them at all times, and they were even more reluctant to leave.

The commotion here also disturbed the nearby county school. After hearing what happened, Zhuang Minrui stood up and said: "Everyone has good intentions, and County Magistrate Chen must not refuse."

Chen Qingsi also knew that it was difficult to refuse such kindness, so she could only bow to express her gratitude.Seeing this, Hu Kui said hurriedly: "I don't need Magistrate Chen to worry about repairing the county government office. You are busy with your business, and we are busy with ours."

Hu Kui had seen big scenes. He ordered the people to put wood in the open space here and pile stones in the open space there.

Zhuang Minrui saw the people's enthusiasm and said with emotion: "I have no regrets seeing thousands of government offices in Qingxi County today."

There are many good officials who will be remembered, but in a short period of time, it is too difficult and amazing to change the attitude of Qingxi County, a place where the people are unpopular.

Benevolence alone is not enough, you must also have sufficient means and capabilities.

Zhuang Minrui is well-informed, and he also knows that County Magistrate Chen may not really be dedicated to the people, but his greatest strength is binding his own interests and reputation with the people.Instead of following the traditional squire route of controlling the squire to control the people, he directly went deep into the people himself.

If the people of Qingxi County are good, then he is the county magistrate. The two complement each other.

No matter what the purpose is, the people have received the greatest benefits.

That night, Chen Qingsi, Xiao Miaochen, Sun Qing, Qianyan, and Qingkong ate at separate tables.

Chen Qingsi and Xiao Miaochen took a seat, Qianyan and Qingkong took a seat, and Sun Qing took a seat alone.

Xiao Miaochen said with some admiration: "I have heard about what happened today. The people of Qingxi County love Mr. Dave so much, I cannot be more honored."

Chen Qingsi felt extremely happy when she saw the admiration in her beloved wife's eyes.

Is there anything more satisfying in this world than being admired by the people closest to you?
Qianyan and Qingkong also expressed their admiration.

Only the little mute Sun Qing seemed a little angry, lowering his head and eating vigorously.

After dinner, Chen Qingsi took Sun Qing to study together in the study, and naturally slept together at night.

This little guy was sleeping very poorly. He stayed far away at first, but then he came close to him as soon as he fell asleep.

With this sleeping appearance, he was worried about letting the little guy sleep with his own female family members.

On the night of the fourth day, Sun Qing's mother, Mrs. Zhang, led Sun Qing to come to express her gratitude.

Mrs. Zhang is a very ordinary woman. Like ordinary people in this era, she is a bit submissive when meeting the imperial officials.

Surprisingly, Chen Qingsi didn't ask any more questions, but just verbally taught Mrs. Zhang a lesson for leaving Sun Qing behind and going to visit relatives by herself.

The renovation of the county government office was completed before spring due to collective efforts.

Chen Qingsi also ushered in his first spring as a county magistrate.

The process of raising seedlings is very smooth, and professional things must be done by professionals. The old farmers have been farmers all their lives and have great experience in raising seedlings. In addition to the general public knowing the steps of raising seedlings, they can also use their own methods to distinguish rotten buds, For rotten seedlings, pick out low-quality seedlings in advance to ensure the quality of the seedlings.

On this day, a group of farmers came to the busy Qingxi County. They gathered in front of the government office of Qingxi County and handed in documents requesting land allocation without making any noise.

Chen Qingsi looked at the document handed over by Jiang Chen and was a little dumbfounded, and asked: "Is this okay?"

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly: "I don't know."

It turns out that these farmers are people from Ma Jin Village in Sui'an County next door.

Sui'an County and Qingxi County are bounded by a small stream. Majin Village is located in the east of the stream and belongs to Sui'an County.

But the flood three years ago caused the creek to change its course and pass through the village, dividing Majin Village into two...
