The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 115 Students Return to Hometown
At this time, Pei Yuanqi came over with a pot of plum wine, "This wine is sour and sweet in the mouth, suitable for us to drink."

Zheng Qiuyun thought about how he would drink some plum wine when he was under great pressure.She took it and filled the cup, "Plum wine is not intoxicating, everyone can try it."

The bright moon outside the window illuminated the ground with white frost and snow, and a fire was lit in the house. Zheng Qiuyun said boldly: "I wish Wenping a happy journey and a bright future."

The four people raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

This dish was very delicious. Zheng Qiuyun just took a bite of the fried chicken and was full of praise for Zheng Wenping.After eating they sat on stools in the room and had some pastries and tea.

Zheng Wu'an said: "I'm reporting from the front. The war in Dongzhou is not going well, and I don't know if they will send me to Dongzhou. By then, my sister will be the only one here in the capital."

Zheng Qiuyun took a bite of pastry and said, "I won't stay here too long after agricultural studies are over."

Pei Yuanqi glanced at her and said, "If the second prince loses to the rebels, the Holy Emperor may let me lead the troops there. I don't know what year or month it will be when we meet again."

Zheng Wenping was open-minded, "We are not in the same place, but our hearts are in the same place."

The other three people smiled, dropped the topic, and talked about home affairs.

The agriculture students did not know that Zheng Wenping had left, and were very surprised when they heard Zheng Qiuyun say that they could go back early.

They asked: "Why?"

Zheng Qiuyun explained: "Wen Ping has gone to take up his post and cannot continue teaching. Before he left, he asked me to let you go back early so that you can study with the Imperial Confucian scholar in the afternoon. Wen Ping left you a letter and placed it on your usual class desk. superior."

A group of people returned to the room where classes usually took place. The room was empty except for letters on the table.

He Jin opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper, and saw what was written on it: "Zhan Jin is a good letter, He Jin is kind, has a righteous heart, and studies hard, and he will be able to achieve great ambitions in the future. I hope He Jin will not take responsibility for everything, and do it in due course." Have fun"

He held the letter and felt a little moved. Indeed, he often blamed himself for not doing well enough and criticized himself so harshly that it was difficult to fall asleep.

The letter left to Chu Bingwen said, "Bingwen is a forthright person, and can detect both mood and anger. If you enter officialdom, you need to be careful or have someone to protect you, otherwise you will cause disaster without knowing it."

There are also some students who don't have a strong sense of presence on weekdays. They just immerse themselves in studying and do not show positive performance. They also received letters from Zheng Wenping.

Someone was moved and said: "Sir is usually reticent, serious and quiet, but I didn't expect that he has been observing us secretly. Now that he has gone to take office, he has not forgotten to write a letter to admonish us."

"Sir, he looks cold, but he has a good heart."

With Zheng Wenping's encouragement, these students studied harder.I followed Zheng Qiuyun to work in the fields in the morning, and ran back to the Imperial College in the afternoon to continue studying. I never complained about being tired from traveling.

In the last ten days, Zheng Qiuyun also taught different learning contents based on the characteristics of their hometowns.He Jin's hometown was very mountainous, so he was taught to store water and consolidate soil, but he was also told not to open terraced fields widely.The land in Meng Hao's hometown was barren, and he was taught to improve the soil.

After the students learned their skills, and with the permission of the Holy Spirit, they drove carriages and transported grains back to their hometowns, like shooting stars scattered in all directions.

It was already late February of the following year when He Jin returned to his hometown.This is supposed to be the time when trees sprout buds, but the trees in the village are all bare, with no green leaves at all.

Going further and entering the village, we saw people working in the fields.Those people looked numb and wore tattered clothes, unable to withstand the warm and cold weather.

Someone recognized He Jin and ran towards him with the tools in his hands, "Ah Jin, why are you back?" He Jin frowned slightly when he saw that he was holding a soil-moving tool made of wood. The man chuckled. "I was afraid someone would steal my tools, so I brought them here with me."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, He Jin did not explain, "I teach you how to grow corn by the decree of the Holy One."

After a while, other people gathered around and heard him talk about growing corn. They were very curious and had never heard of this thing.But after hearing him say that it was the Holy Spirit's will, even if I had doubts in my heart, I didn't dare to question it.

He Jin added: "Someone from our hometown went to Qingzhou to learn terrace farming before, but unfortunately he never came back. In the capital, I not only learned how to build terraces, but also how to consolidate soil and store water. If you follow my instructions, you will definitely have a good harvest in the fields. .”

Hearing him mention his son who had gone to Qingzhou before, a woman wiped her tears and said, "After all, scholars are smart. My husband's elm-headed man still has to study, and now he hasn't even found his body."

Originally, they had a natural admiration for scholars, but now they were a little more convinced when they heard him talk about the Holy Sage and the terraced fields.

They said: "Okay, we will plant whatever Ah Jin tells us to plant!"

He Jin went home and hurriedly met his parents, then went to look for the local magistrate.In their county, two people came back from the capital, and one of them was responsible for farming half of the county.The other person was Shen Yan, and the two met at the gate of the county government office.

With a slight nod, He Jin and Shen Yan entered the county office and looked for the magistrate together. They had a bad start. This time the magistrate went downstairs for inspection. They waited until dark but did not wait for the magistrate.

The two of them went home separately, and came to see the magistrate again the next day. The magistrate was there this time, but he did not receive them very warmly.When they heard that they wanted to plant corn, the magistrate drank tea and said nothing.

He Jin urged: "Spring plowing is about to begin. I'd like to trouble the county magistrate to summon all the villages to come and help us teach the people to farm."

The magistrate took another sip of tea and said, "I understand. You go back and wait for the news."

After sending them away, the magistrate sat and drank tea calmly, without any intention of looking for Li Zheng.The aide reminded: "They are here under the imperial edict. It would be better for you to summon Li Zheng as soon as possible."

The magistrate remained motionless, "The imperial edict only asked me to assist them, but did not say how to assist them. They came in a hurry and showed no courtesy at all. I was asked to summon Li Zheng, so I have to summon Li Zheng?"

The staff member said with a headache: "They are just poor students. I'm afraid they don't have anything to show filial piety to the adults."

"And," the county magistrate said slowly, "Shopkeeper Song asked me to sell millet seeds in the county, and I have agreed. Let him sell them for a few more days, and then let the people grow corn."

The staff understood that shopkeeper Song was afraid that he might have benefited the county magistrate, so he still tried his best to persuade the people: "If the people have planted millet, they cannot take out the millet and plant corn instead."

The magistrate stood up and said, "That's not something I have to consider. If the people don't want to plant, I can't force them to plant."

The staff member added: "I heard that corn can produce a thousand catties per acre. If corn is planted, the people will have a way to survive."

"A way to survive?" the magistrate sneered, "You haven't understood that human life is worthless. People don't die in any year, so why can't they die this year?"

He waved his hand and said, "Don't waste any more time talking. I'm just delaying for a few days. It's not like I won't help."
