The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 131 Use
Although He Yan is far away, he also has business dealings near Dongzhou.Zheng Qiuyun asked someone to send him a message. He Yan was afraid that he would not be able to make it, so he asked the shopkeeper in Dongzhou to handle the matter of exchanging grain for cotton.

The governor came up with such an idea, and Zheng Qiuyun had no choice but to drag him into trouble.He asked him to convene the Dongzhou County Magistrate, hold a meeting with the County Magistrate, and then ask the County Magistrate to go back and inform Li Zheng that anyone who is willing to grow cotton can sign up at Li Zheng's place first, and then collect it at Zheng Qiuyun's place.

Half of the people in a state want to grow cotton, and Zheng Qiuyun can't grow enough seedlings in his own fields.Zheng Qiuyun came to the governor again and discussed with him how to train the people to cultivate seedlings themselves.

Zheng Qiuyun came to Dongzhou Yamen and was surprised by the sight in front of him.After the war, the door of this yamen was chopped to pieces and half of the wall collapsed.Zheng Qiuyun thought that the newly appointed governor had to make some repairs.But she didn't expect that this yamen was still so broken.

The governor of Dongzhou invited Zheng Qiuyun to the place where he usually entertains guests. There were weeds on the road with stones hidden in them. Zheng Qiuyun almost tripped over and asked, "Your yamen is so broken, why don't you repair it?"

The governor lowered his head slightly, "I'm really short of money. Although the yamen is broken, it doesn't affect my work. I don't usually live here."

"You don't live here?" After entering the house, Zheng Qiuyun saw a hole in the roof.The advantage is that the light in this room is good, and you can even see the fine lines in the corners of the governor's eyes when he smiles.

He said: "I don't live here. It can't protect me from the rain. It's not as good as an abandoned temple outside the city."

"Ah?" Zheng Qiuyun looked at him seriously, carefully distinguishing the truth from falsehood in his words, "As a governor, you can't be so miserable, right?"

He wiped off the dust on the bench with his sleeve and handed it to Zheng Qiuyun, "There have been no guests here for a long time. There is dust on the bench. Don't worry about it, Zheng Sinong."

Zheng Qiuyun took it and sat down, "I don't care, were you kidding me just now?"

The governor also found a stool and sat down, "No, I offended someone in the court and lived in the Yamen. I was afraid of being retaliated against. However, I only told Zheng Sinong where I lived. I hope he will Nong keep it a secret from me.”

Zheng Qiuyun did not ask him in detail who he had offended, but just nodded, "I will definitely keep it secret. I came to you today because of something important."

"Zheng Sinong said it doesn't matter."

"There are many people who are willing to grow cotton now, and it is not enough to just rely on my land to raise seedlings. We need to train the people so that everyone can raise seedlings."

It was not difficult, and the governor agreed, "What do you need me to do?"

Zheng Qiuyun glanced at the hole in the roof again, "Originally, I wanted you to find a place for us to train the people, but now it seems that it is not necessary. You will pass the news to the county magistrate and let them notify Li Right, a person from one village was sent for training.”

She added: "Don't notify counties that are too far away. It will be inconvenient for them to go back and forth, and it will also waste time. The cotton seedlings I cultivated can be sent directly to them. Just notify the nearby counties."

The governor bowed and said: "Thank you Zheng Sinong for your consideration. I will accept this matter. I also want to ask Zheng Sinong for help."

"What's the matter?"

He was embarrassed and said: "You have also seen that Dongzhou Yamen is like this. It shows that I am really short of money. I wonder if it is convenient for the girl."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Zheng Qiuyun asked directly: "But you want to borrow money?"

The governor praised her, "Zheng Sinong is really smart."

Zheng Qiuyun asked in disbelief: "Where is your salary?"

The governor licked his lips, pursed them again, and then looked at her innocently, "I just took office, haven't I received my salary yet?"

Zheng Qiuyun asked him how much he wanted, and the governor held out a finger, and Zheng Qiuyun began to look for the banknote, "But it's 100 taels." The governor shook his head, "Zheng Sinong lend me a tael of silver so that I can survive until my salary is paid next month. That’s it.”

Zheng Qiuyun was silent, almost forgetting that when she first traveled through time, she only had a few copper coins in her body.If someone was willing to lend her a tael of silver at that time, it would indeed be enough to feed her for a month.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you." Zheng Qiuyun took the governor's IOU, always feeling that something was wrong, but never figured it out.

She left the Yamen and discussed with Meng Hao and the others.Meng Hao, He Jin, plus the students from Qingzhou, there are ten people in total, and they cannot be trained one-on-one.They divided the representatives sent from each village into groups according to their distance, and one person taught a group.

Zheng Qiuyun was responsible for making inspections to see if there was anything wrong with their teachings.During her inspection, she found that many people were not fully clothed, their faces were sallow and thin, and they were listless.

Zheng Qiuyun could barely understand if they were not fully clothed, but they were languid and weak, which made people suspicious.

Zheng Qiuyun asked a woman, "Didn't I ask Li Zheng to distribute food? Don't you have enough to eat?"

The woman burst into tears when she heard what she said, "You can eat it, but we don't dare to eat it because we're afraid that we won't be able to grow cotton, and you still ask us to pay for the food."

"Zheng Sinong," she asked while crying, "I heard from Li Zheng that he would take care of the food when he came to participate in the training, but is it true?"

Zheng Qiuyun frowned, and the woman panicked, "I heard that I was in charge of the food, but I didn't even eat breakfast, so I was just waiting for lunch. If I didn't care about the food, by the time I got home, it would be late at night. ”

Zheng Qiuyun confirmed to her, "Are you sure you are in charge of the meal as Li Zheng said?"

Others heard the conversation here and whispered: "We Li Zheng also said that we are in charge of the food."

Zheng Qiuyun smiled. There were about twenty counties notified by the governor, and there were more than 30 villages in each county. When one person came from a village, Zheng Qiuyun had to take care of the meals of hundreds of people.Apart from the governor of Dongzhou, Zheng Qiuyun really couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to trick her.

Facing the woman's disappointed look, Zheng Qiuyun said softly: "You have come all the way, so you have to take care of the food. I heard the governor said that he has prepared the food. If you learn how to raise seedlings, go to the Yamen to get the food."

"Great." Hearing Zheng Qiuyun say this, they became more active in learning.After studying, they all went to Dongzhou Yamen with smiles on their faces.

As soon as the governor heard that hundreds of people were gathered outside, he quickly came out to check the situation. He also heard that Zheng Qiuyun asked them to come over to get their meal. The governor quickly slipped out of the back door to find Zheng Qiuyun.

"Zheng Sinong, you asked them to train, do you really think they don't care about the job?"

Zheng Qiuyun sneered, "Master Governor, do you think my money was brought by the strong wind? Since you asked the magistrate to inform Li Zheng to take charge of food, then go and distribute food to them, and don't involve me."

She said angrily: "I asked to stay in Dongzhou because I saw that the people in Dongzhou had no clothes to wear and no food to eat, so I wanted to stay and help them. If you ask me to talk to the rich businessmen, I have the right to do a good deed. You care about me. You see that I have a good temper, so you treat me as the enemy, right?"

"How dare I." After a pause, the governor added, "Now that the people don't have any solid food with them, we can't let them go back hungry."

At this time, the governor still wanted to take advantage of Zheng Qiuyun's sympathy.Zheng Qiuyun said directly: "I don't care. You said you were in charge of the food. It's your responsibility. You don't need to ask me what to do."
