Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 256 It’s the end of February

"Manshan."

Meng Changqing only felt unfamiliar when she heard the name. She had too many things to deal with, so she would naturally forget some insignificant people who did not leave an impression. "Is this your new friend?"

Mancang said: "I have known him for a long time. When the government office was being built, his father also came to work."

Meng Changqing guessed that it should be the child who was brought by the bricklayer at the beginning. It turned out that the father and son were also here.

Meng Changqing was very happy that Mancang could make friends with people of similar age. "Go to the kitchen and get a plate of snacks."

Mancang is very stubborn and protective of her food. All the extra snacks in the kitchen belong to her. "This bowl of water is very good, and it's still hot."

Meng Changqing thought to himself, it’s hot now, but by the time you get over there it will probably be completely cold.

But she would not interfere too much with others. She just stood there helplessly and watched Mancang walk away with the bowl.

That afternoon, Li Ting, the chief constable of Liangzhou Prefecture, found Meng Changqing and said, "There are some things that the prefect asked me to ask you if you have done them."

Naturally, it was the things that Mao Chunfang reported to Wei Fangyun.

After hearing this, Meng Changqing said that he didn't know. "Please help pass on the message to Captain Li. I will severely question my subordinates. If they have such behavior, I will punish them severely."

Li Ting still believed in Meng Changqing very much, and seeing that she was so sure, he was convinced that it was Mao Chunfang who was maliciously slandering young Master Meng.

Go back and tell Wei Fangyun, "Fortunately you didn't let Master Xiao Meng come here to confront us, otherwise Master Xiao Meng would be too wronged."

Wei Fangyun looked at the man in front of him, "How can you tell that he has been wronged? Go back and do your job."

Wei Fangyun walked out of the room and looked towards the direction of Beishan County. Go ahead and make some noise while he was still sitting here. Without Mao Chunfang's obstruction, Beishan County's recruitment of people went smoothly. In the first few days, Yang Zheng was able to bring back more than 200 people, but as time went on, the number of people brought back each day gradually decreased.

To say it has decreased is relative.

Currently, the number of new residents in Beishan County has reached more than 2,000. Although resettlement houses are being built at a rapid pace, there are still not enough places to live.

Those who came later could only build temporary shacks, but fortunately, the temperature rose and they were able to survive in the shacks. Beishan County also gave a certain amount of food to those who did not live in resettlement housing, indicating that the county treated all people the same and used food to make up for the limited housing available.

Such an open approach will naturally win the hearts of the people.

None of the people who had newly moved to Beishan County complained about the Beishan County government.

As the days passed, it was February and the temperature was getting higher and higher.

Everyone in Beishan County was very busy. Those who were lucky enough to be selected to work were busy earning money, while those who were not so lucky were busy turning the land and preparing for planting. Even the children had their own tasks.

In a blink of an eye, by the end of February, the frozen soil had completely melted.

Wild weeds are already sprouting in the fields, which means it's time to plant the crops.

The seeds that Meng Changqing had people cultivate in advance finally came in handy.

Yang Zheng could only receive a few people every day. Most of the people around him withdrew, leaving only five or six people to guard the shed.

The people who were evacuated from Yangmen County had not even had two days of good rest before they were assigned other tasks by Meng Changqing. Fortunately, there were extra rewards for working for Lord Meng, so the yamen runners were willing to do so.

On this day, someone from Zhang Yuan came over with a message that the official road near the military camp was about to be built, and they asked Meng Changqing to send someone over there. They also asked what kind of trees should be planted on both sides of the official road and asked Lord Meng to make the decision.
