Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 178
The entourage approached him and took a look, "Mother, it's actually 3000 taels."

"Oh, mother, thank the county king quickly, it turns out he hasn't forgotten me."

The matter of getting money from the village households in Wangma County is like growing wings. Along the border all the way, some villages in the county want to snatch up private sales. It was a good deal, everyone calmed down, and they all looked forward to the arrival of the King of Beijun.

The next day, they arrived at the second Tuntian county - Liuchuan. Under the scorching heat of midsummer, the air flow formed by the heat wave, from a distance, the plains and mountains seemed to sway in front of people's eyes. The heat is really not covered.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, she heard howls not far in front, she lifted the gauze curtain, and Ma Miner was carried out of the carriage by Xia Zhen, "What's going on?"

Xiaowen came back after inquiring about the good news, "Several people have stomachaches and are rolling on the ground, and a pregnant woman is about to give birth."

"Is there a doctor?"

Xiaowen shook his head.

"Hurry up and ask our accompanying military doctor to save people."

"it is good."

The head of the village in Liuchuan County, General Zhang, saw the king of Beijun coming, and he dragged his dripping military uniform over to salute, "My lord—" His voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear what he was saying.

Don't think that General Zhang came up from the river. There are very few ditches here, and there is almost no water. If there is water, it is still used for daily life and irrigation. It is impossible for people to swim. He is hot and anxious. Come out in a hurry.

"Give General Zhang a bamboo tube of water."

"Yes," a guard immediately handed him a bucket of water.

General Zhang drank it in one gulp. While he was drinking, Ma Min'er had asked the accompanying military doctor to save someone. As a result, he didn't know who to save first.

Ma Min'er took a look and said, "You save the pregnant woman first."

"Yes, ma'am!" After receiving the instructions, the accompanying military doctor went to work immediately.

"Aunt Shan, go over and help him."

"Okay." Aunt Shan had delivered babies before.

Ma Min'er walked up to a few people who were clutching their stomachaches, and asked, "What's going on?"

Someone replied: "After they drank the water in the ditch, they became like this."

It was because the water was unclean and the stomach was ruined by drinking it. Ma Miner called out, "Master, what should they do after drinking the water?"

While feeling the pregnant woman's pulse, the doctor replied, "Probably the stomach has been damaged by eating, how long has it been?"

Someone replied: "It's been an hour."

"It's impossible to induce vomiting. Give them medicine that can cause diarrhea. Maybe it will be fine if they pull it out."

"Miss Shan, bring the laxative pills and give them one pill each."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Zhang Tunchang saw that the noisy crowd had calmed down, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Jun Wang, I am sorry for not being able to welcome you far away."

Xia Zhen waved his hand to let him rest in peace.

Zhang Nianmei has already found a shelter by the water and set up a tent, "Your Majesty, it's ready."

Xia Zhen nodded, "Put up some canopies with a roof for the weak, women and others to enjoy the shade."

"Yes, the king of the county."

The voice of the pregnant woman screaming in pain echoed in the heat-rolling wilderness, "It looks like she's going to give birth soon, Xing'er, take a few little girls, wrap them in curtains, and give birth on the spot."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Everyone was blocked by the guards, and the old and weak women stood in the sheds. For a while, people quietly waited for the child's arrival.

In the tent, Xia Zhen asked, "How is your wheat harvest going?"

Zhang Tunchang replied: "Back to the king of the county, they are all cut at the edge of the field. We will wait for the king of the county to see them. After you have seen them, we will grind the grains and spread them to dry in the warehouse."

"How about the output?"

"It's okay, I have experience now, and the next season will be better."

"Yeah." Xia Zhen nodded, but didn't say anything else.

Zhang Tunchang looked at him eagerly, why didn't he say the money?
Suddenly someone shouted outside, "It's born, it's a boy."

"Great, it's a boy."

"Mother and child are safe..."

……

When Ma Min'er heard that the mother and child were safe, she hurriedly called out, "Uncle Shan—"

"Ma'am, the old servant is here."

"You vacate a carriage and take the mother and child home."

"Yes, little master."

The onlookers felt sorry for the mother and child just now, but they didn't expect such a good fortune. Not only did they get the help of the nobleman, they gave birth easily, they also drank brown sugar water and got into the nobleman's carriage.

"Country people, who hasn't given birth to a child in the field? Why is Shuiniang's life so lucky, and she was sent back by the nobleman's carriage? It's really a lucky fate."

……

The little daughter-in-law Suicao didn't expect her life to be so good. She met a nobleman. If she hadn't met a nobleman, she and her children wouldn't know if they were alive. Not only that, the nobleman's carriage brought their mother and child back, and gave them brown sugar, Sanzi, two catties of oil, two catties of salt, Aunt Shan said: "I don't need to put anything else, so I can only give you these."

"Thank you, auntie, you are my benefactors of aquatic plants."

"It's just a chance encounter." Aunt Shan smiled, "Confine yourself well and raise the child well."

"Yeah." Shuicao nodded gratefully. She was black and thin and was a homeless person. Last year, she heard that Liangzhou City was looking for wives for soldiers, and she could get money, so she married and met a man who was similar to her. Was assigned to stay in Chuan.

Although it was a bit hard, life finally got over. There was no one else in the house except her, that is, her husband. Today it was her husband's turn to be on duty and he was not at home. I didn't expect the child to come out before the day, and everyone panicked. Unexpectedly, I met a nobleman.

"Son, let me marry you named Agui." Water grass turned to look at her sleeping son.

Aunt Shan walked out of the hut and looked inside and outside the house. Except for a table and two small stools, there was nothing else.

Uncle Shan also sighed, "I'm afraid there is no one else in this house."

Aunt Shan nodded, took out some broken silver from her pocket, put the silver on the table, and put a bowl upside down on the table, "I'll go find my neighbor and help take care of it."

Uncle Shan nodded, and Aunt Shan walked a hundred steps to the neighbor's house, "Is anyone there?"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came out of the house, "Who are you looking for?"

"The water girl next door to your house gave birth to a boy."

The little lady was overjoyed, "Really,"

"Yeah." Aunt Shan nodded, "I asked in the carriage just now, his husband is going to be the watchman, can you help..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The little lady turned around and closed the door immediately, "My brother and my sister-in-law went to work in the fields, and I'm the only one at home with nothing to do, I'll go right away."

"Thank you, little lady."

"Auntie, you belong to Shui Niang..."

"I was just passing by..."

"So you are a good person..."

Aunt Shan smiled, did not speak, and went to Shuiniang's house with the little lady, and handed Shuiniang to the little lady, and she was relieved, "Old man, let's go back."

"it is good."

Ma Min'er went into Xia Zhen's tent, and Chief Zhang was still there. She asked, "Is there a doctor here?"

"No, there is only an elderly man who knows how to govern people with some local methods."

"Where are the military doctors in the army?" Ma Min'er asked.

"Go to war."

Ma Min'er glanced at Xia Zhen, and said to Chief Zhang, "Go back and rest first."

"Oh." Zhang Tunchang didn't want to leave, he hadn't paid Gao... the high temperature fee, but his wife let him go, so he had to go out.

After the people left, Ma Min'er said: "It's Tun County, it's worse than the countryside."

Xia Zhen's face was also heavy, "If things go on like this, people won't be able to last long farming on the border even if they are given money."

"Yes!" Ma Miner sat down to rest.

Xia Zhen sat in the tent dully.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ma Min'er reached out and shook his hand, "At the beginning, it was inevitable. Should you hand out money or money? It's just a matter of urgency. Please ask Mr. Tian to recruit a doctor. Wait until winter." Let Mr. recruit Mr. Private School, so that people's basic life and education can be guaranteed, I think time will change everything."

Xia Zhen pursed her lips and nodded, "I'll let Wei Ren do it right away."

"Set up a public doctor's station in every Tun county, and then set up a doctor's station in every three villages, so that everyone who is sick can have a place to get a doctor, and it will be convenient and affordable for them."

"Okay, I understand."

After Wei Ren received Xia Zhen's instructions, he immediately sent the letter to Mr. Tian, ​​and he immediately started to deal with it. While calling out doctors from the army, he recruited doctors from the society, and quickly dispatched the most basic medical staff to more than a dozen Tuntian counties. The doctor and the doctor, so that the villagers can find the doctor when they are sick.

In the evening, Tun Zhang took Xia Zhen to the place where the wheat was grown. In order to avoid fraudulent practices in the field, Xia Zhen and his subordinates rode horses until midnight and did not come back.

After returning, he said to Tun Zhang, "The actual number of acres of land does not match what you reported."

Seeing the hot weather, Zhang Tunchang never thought that Xia Zhen, who is a prince, would do so much by himself, and even went to see the Changmai field in person.

"My lord, please forgive me..." Tun Zhang knelt down on the ground.

"It doesn't grow, it grows less, tell me honestly, I don't blame it, but I hate the trick of cheating, do you understand?"

"My lord, I... I understand."

"this time……"

Zhang Tunchang's heart almost jumped out of his heart.

Xia Zhen suppressed her anger: "Forget it, it's not an example."

"Yes, yes, thank you, my lord."

Xia Zhen said: "Tomorrow, we will recruit all the households and give everyone high temperature fees."

"Okay, okay, I'll inform everyone right away." Finally, the high temperature fee was paid, and Chief Liu was very happy.

Xia Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly: "Also, I gave 3000 taels to Wang Wang Ma Chuan and Tun Zhang Liu, but you can only get 30 taels."

"Little... I understand." Chief Liu fell from excitement.

"Go."

"Yes..." Zhang Tunchang wanted to die, 3000 taels, he is a general of the sixth rank, when will he earn 3000 taels!If the military pay is handed over, you can still earn some money, but the control of military pay has been very strict in the past few years, and it is all paid by the special people under the king of the county. They can't stand it at all.

God, my silver, my silver...

After a few tun counties, the situation was similar to that of Liuchuan. Wheat grew, but the number of acres in the report was somewhat different, but the wheat still grew, and the yield was not bad. Xia Zhen didn't care about it. There are not so many rewards for silver.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tunchang, the first Tunxian county, was awarded the highest bonus.

But when they arrived at the tenth tun county, what they encountered was not the difference in the number of acres, but the fact that there was no wheat growing, a large piece of wasteland, and the tun households on it were living on their laurels.

At that time, when they used money to recruit a wife, they thought about this problem. At this time, the daughter-in-law is still there and looks like a family, it is all because they still have money.

Xia Zhen directly punished the general who was appointed as the head of the village by military law, and appointed the junior general who followed him as the new head of the village.

Ten thousand households stood on the scalding yellow earth. At this moment, the young county king standing in front of them was holding a sword in his hand. His three-dimensional facial features were as handsome as a knife. world.

"Every time you report the situation, you report it in a decent manner. Every time someone comes to inspect, you can still be fooled by it. It's really a good skill." Xia Zhen sneered, "If this skill is used on growing wheat, it will Why don't you worry about growing wheat."

All the people in the crowd lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Take my words as a deaf ear, there is only one end, either death or disability, there is no discussion."

……

To be honest, Ma Min'er was also frightened by the military law of Xia Zhen's army. It is true that if you kill someone, you will kill him.

Under such strict military law, there are still villages in Tun County that do not farm. What is the Tuntian system used for? Is it just a joke?From this point of view, Ma Min'er feels that the military law is not so strict.

Now she finally understands why the more developed the economy, the more sound the law, and the less the death penalty, it all makes sense!
Lian hurriedly rushed all the way down, and walked down one by one in more than a dozen tun counties. June was about to pass, and after finishing the last tun county, Xia Zhen directly sent people to detour back to Liangzhou Prefecture.

In more than a dozen counties, there are some that grow well, but the high temperature costs are high, and there are some that don’t grow well, but it is not human fault, and they also get money. According to the facts, it is human error, and the high temperature cost is not high.

In short, Xia Zhen has clear rewards and punishments, and he is a qualified person in power. When he returned to Liangzhou, Mr. Tian and Mr. Huang worked together to assign military doctors and Langzhong in Tun County.

Mr. Tian also said: "Er Niang, can you add a doctor class to your nursing home?"

"Yes, as long as you can find a good teacher to teach."

Mr. Tian said with emotion, "When you are really employing people, you will know that there are few talents."

Ma Min'er said: "The cultivation of every talent is not so easy. For example, Mr. Huang, Huang's father spent all his wealth to cultivate a talent like him. But for ordinary people, how much ability can they cultivate?" A man of skill."

"Second Niang is right."

Ma Min'er said: "Mr. Tian, ​​we are going to the capital soon, and the Vocational Training Institute has troubled you and Master Huang."

"Sure, if it is done well, I am also the beneficiary."

"That's good."

Mr. Tian said with a smile: "If the Vocational Training Institute is successful, not only will I have to imitate it, Mr. Huang also said that he will promote this model so that more poor children can acquire skills and support themselves better. Let us have people available."

Of course Ma Miner agreed, "I hope so."

My brother's wedding is scheduled for June 28. Huang Yihan has seen what it means to be busy. Her mother hasn't slept well for almost a month. She is busy with her brother's wedding. The red tape at the wedding is so busy that people's eyes are dazzled .

It was only then that she realized how bad she was. She could hardly help her mother, and her mother had no choice but to invite the family members of her brother's subordinates to help. Every day, people in the family came and went, and one thing after another had to be done solve.

Although she couldn't help much, my mother didn't let her go this time, even if she couldn't, she would let her stay by her side and see how she did things.

"Mom, what would you do when you were 15?" Huang Yihan couldn't help asking, it was already late at night, and tomorrow was my brother's day, mother and father were still checking the post to see if there was any missed invitation.

Hearing her daughter's question, Huang's mother looked up, "When I was 15 years old, I helped my mother with my sister's wedding. Many things I didn't know were all learned at that time. What have you learned this month, Yao Niang ?”

"I..." Huang Yihan said: "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to have learned anything."

Huang's mother shook her head: "Tomorrow, your sister-in-law will pass the door. She is 17 years old, only two years older than you. If you want to learn, you can learn from your sister-in-law patiently."

Huang Yihan pursed her lips, "I see."

Huang's father sighed secretly, and continued to say to his wife: "Let's finish the post and rest quickly, and we can't make any mistakes tomorrow."

"Yes." Mother Huang continued to work with her husband.

Huang Yihan sat beside them, listening to their words, but her heart was full of brother Qiu, and his shadow seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

Mr. Tian went back from the king of Beijun, and when he got home, his family had already arrived, and they were preparing to marry their daughter tomorrow.

"Thank you, old lady."

Mrs. Tian sighed, "I knew I would be so nervous when I came with my daughter."

"Just be considerate, I didn't expect Zi'an to let Erniang go on a tour with her, thinking she could help."

"You should have let me come."

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Mr. Tian said: "Zian is not easy. If it wasn't for our second mother's wedding wine, she would have gone to Beijing to get married."

"Understood, I'll send a Lao Sao."

"Almost."

"En." Mrs. Tian said: "Apart from your colleagues in the army, there are no other relatives here. It's quite simple, as long as you don't make mistakes."

"That's good."

It's not that I got married by myself, it feels like a month has passed, "Is it true that you will leave after drinking the wedding wine?" Before going to bed, Ma Min'er asked.

"Hmm." Xia Zhen said.

"Oh." Ma Min'er yawned, just after one run, she went on another round of long-distance trek, and this long-distance journey was her whole life.

Xia Zhen lazily got up from the couch, "I'm going to bed, you should go to bed early too."

"Okay." Ma Min'er sat on the chair, saw that he was going back to sleep, and stood up to see him off.

Xia Zhen took her hand, "After the wedding, don't send me out."

Ma Min'er felt amused when she heard this: "If it's like this after the big wedding, once my door is closed, you will never even think about entering my room in your life."

"Haha... What a wonderful little daughter-in-law."

"of course."
