Chapter 394 Chapter 394: Unexpected misfortune (4) [Seek double monthly pass]
"The person recommended by the text note must be the dragon and the phoenix among the people." Shen Tang looked extremely interested, and in an instant his brows were stained with a little sadness, and sighed, "It's just that this kind of talent still has a bright future. I'm going to Longwu..."
Shen Tang hesitated to speak.
Pinch the essence of tea art to death.
Xu Jie hurriedly said: "It would be a blessing for my naughty cousin to follow Shen Jun. Both of his parents died when he was young, and Xie raised him as his son-in-law. It's just that he has a stubborn personality and refuses to obey discipline. You are causing trouble..."
Shen Tang asked: "Wen Zhu's cousin of the same family?"
"Yes, sixteen this year."
Shen Tang frowned and said: "This age is too young... In the place of Longwu, this child may not be able to endure this hardship."
Xu Jie: "..."
Inexplicably, I feel very happy to say this from Shen Jun. The sixteen-year-old cousin is the "child" in Shen Jun's mouth, so isn't the fourteen-year-old Shen Jun a child?
He smiled and said: "Shen Jun, don't worry, if he can't even endure this bit of hardship, he shouldn't be yelling about 'Feng Lang Ju Xu' and 'Drinking Horse Han Hai' all day long, making people laugh in vain."
Speaking of this, if this person does not accept it, it will be a knot. Shen Tang complied, and on the surface, he and Xu Xie had a good time together—Xu Jie drank wine and she drank tea—inwardly, he pursed his lips slightly, hiding all calculations without a trace.
Even though Xu Jie didn't face off with Wu Xianming...
However, the promising young man of the same clan as Xu Jie entered his account. Isn't the signal clear at a glance?
The point is, this will not arouse anyone's vigilance—Wu Xian will not mind, Qin Li will not question, and even the "prey" Xu Jie who is in the middle of the situation does not feel that he has been calculated, and only thinks that this move is to repay Shen Tang's trust.
So, she is such a sincere person who is as clear and exquisite as crystal, how can she have any heart?
You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense.
In the next few days, Shen Tang basically took Xu Jie to familiarize himself with various places to ensure that he would be able to take over the post seamlessly. The more Xu Jie understood, the more frightened he became, and more doubts accumulated at the same time. Seeing him hesitant to speak, Shen Tang said, "What's wrong with the annotation?"
Xu Jie said: "Shen Jun won't take anyone away?"
Shen Tang pretended to be dazed: "I'll take someone away, Wen Zhu, I can't take office alone..."
Xu Jie: "He Yin common people, don't you take them away?"
Although life in troubled times is worthless.
But human power is a precious resource.
The common people who have settled down in Heyin and cultivated their lives for a year or two are no longer as skinny as they were when they were refugees. Especially the labor of young and middle-aged people is exactly what Longwu County urgently needs. Shen Tang can take advantage of this opportunity to spread rumors to sway people's hearts, scaring the common people to pack their bags and go with Shen Tang. Wherever Shen Tang went, they took root there to manage...
Xu Jie frowned and gave Shen Tang an idea.
Spreading rumors and causing panic is an extremely common way of operating. Everyone despises the refugees and grassroots bandits, but they will not despise the labor force that can immediately create labor value. Shen Tang still has a very high reputation among them...
Even if it doesn’t reach the level of raising one’s arms and all the people follow, as long as Shen Jun is willing, there will be many people following.
With them, Longwu County is also easy to operate.
But Shen Tang is different.
Since the messenger brought the news of Pingdiao, she ordered the officials at the top and bottom of the government office to appease the common people under their control, so that they can prepare for the autumn harvest with peace of mind and manage their small lives well.
Shen Tang stayed for a long time after listening.
murmured: "Can it still be like this?"
Xu Jie: "...Didn't the staff remind you?"
Shen Tang laughed and said: "They know my temper, even if they can do this, they can't do it. How much effort did we spend to let them get rid of the status of bandits and refugees, so that they can farm and operate with peace of mind? Take them away for their own selfish desires, and embark on a journey where life and death are uncertain. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse when the future is unknown? I was poor and useless back then, and I was able to manage He Yin into what it is today, so I naturally have the confidence to make Long Wu the second He Yin."
Shen Tang really doesn't know this way?
Pray for a few LYBs and won’t you be reminded?
She knew it, and Qishan and the others had also reminded her.
But the conclusion is that it is not necessary.
Not to mention that this road will consume food and grass in the past, even if there is enough food and grass, the biggest role of the common people in Longwu County is to help open up wasteland. Can their efficiency be higher than that of warriors? Therefore, after thinking about it, it was put on hold.
Xu Jie heard and said: "Shen Jun, benevolence and righteousness."
Acknowledge each other from the bottom of your heart.
Good man, really good man!
Even if Xu Jie wanted to find a trace of hypocrisy in the other party, it was difficult for him to behave frankly, and his words and deeds were sincere, like a clear spring that could see the bottom at a glance. He was the purest and kindest person Xu Jie had ever seen in his life, but with a certain edge.
Shen Tang blushed slightly after being praised by him.
Hey, I'm sorry.
Shen Tang didn't intend to take away ordinary people, so some people were upset. When the other party heard the news, he rushed to the official office without waiting for a breather and a sip of tea. Take a closer look, isn't it the old doctor Dong from the medical center? The old man's eyes were full of anger.
Shen Tang was worried that the other party would be angry.
Hastily asked someone to make tea for him.
"Take a sip and calm down."
This is her own flower tea.
It is cool and relieves fire, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
Old Physician Dong asked with a livid face, "Mr. Shen is planning to leave us in Heyin, and just ignore him?"
Shen Tang was questioned face to face.
Confused, he said: "What do you mean? That's Longwu County, why go there at an early age?"
Shen Tang didn't intend to bring too many people.
Even most of the cooks she carefully trained remained behind, and only a few lonely ones who had sold their lives followed.
Old Physician Dong said: "Old man, why are you afraid of death?"
Shen Tang: "..."
She didn't say that Dr. Dong was afraid of death.
It’s just a matter of age, staying in Heyin to run the medical clinic with peace of mind, and Xu Jie is covering it. He has time to see patients, but he doesn’t have time to take care of apprentices. Can’t he take good care of himself?
Where is the confusion and where to drill?
Old Physician Dong took out a dagger from his sleeve.
With a slap, it hit Shen Tang's desk.
The latter shrank his shoulders in shock, pitiful and innocent, but Old Physician Dong refused to accept this, and said harshly, "If Mr. Aged, old, dim-sighted, with shallow medical skills, he is a useless idler... Old and shameless, he can only commit suicide to gain his reputation. Shen Jun, you can figure it out!"
Mr. Dong just got very sick.
Give Shen Tang two choices.
Take him away, or let him go!
Shen Tang: "...This, there is no need to do this..."
Put the dagger away and stay away from the angry old man.
Aged, more angry than young people.
Shen Tang made another cup of Huahua tea for the other party.
I'm afraid that the other party's blood pressure will soar too high and he will have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.
"...Old Doctor Dong is willing to go with me, so there's no reason why I wouldn't? It's just that you're old and the journey is far away, so you need to find a few considerate students to take care of you, so as not to make mistakes on the way... That's why you're delayed..."
Shen Tang pushed the responsibility away.
It's not that she refuses to take him away, but that this matter has not been put on the agenda, and it will be his turn in a few days.
Old Physician Dong's complexion improved upon hearing this flicker.
Seeing this, Shen Tang knew that he had been fooled.
Secretly let out a sigh of relief.
It's really unbearable to be so passionate at such a young age.
Dr. Dong had just left before someone "hit the door".
Shen Tang looked at Yang Duwei, who was very energetic and energetic, and was surprised: "Mr. Yang is also here to 'fight with his life', right?"
Shen Tang briefly talked about Dr. Dong.
Yang Duwei laughed: "Although he missed, it is not far away."
Shen Tang: "..."
Why doesn’t everyone want to stay for the elderly?
Lieutenant Yang saw her doubts, and said quietly: "If you can't die on the battlefield, then die closer to it."
Live, but don't want to live mediocrely.
In the past two years, while recuperating from his injuries, he tried his best to find things to do, whether it was helping Gong Shuwu and the others in their military training, training recruits, or helping Fugu's department store as a shopkeeper out of boredom... His body is a disabled person, but his heart can't.
Shen Tang was shocked.
I vaguely regretted my rescue at that time.
Yang Duwei comforted: "Shen Jun, don't blame yourself..."
Although he still feels his teeth itch when he thinks about it now, Shen Tang is really benevolent to him. Furthermore, at that time each had its own position, and it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong.
No matter what, he lived two more years because of Shen Tang.
This is kindness!
Yang Duwei came to the door in person, and Shen Tang could only bring it with him.
One pile of things is arranged in an orderly manner.
Time passes peacefully, and the autumn harvest is in a blink of an eye.
As Shen Tang expected, this year is a year of great abundance.
But the common people were not ecstatic about it.
Some people even reaped while feeling sad from it—He Yin changed hands, such a golden age, and it will never be the same again.
“…the solid grains are big and firm, three times as old…”
On the ridge of the field, Shen Tang and Xu Jie walked side by side.
The latter cast a suspicious look at her.
Shen Tang said: "This is the Lord's Prayer for this year's spring plowing. Presumably the text notes also have some understanding of my scribes?"
Xu Jie nodded, not hiding anything.
He inquired secretly.
However, the staff under Shen Tang's account are strict with their mouths.
Just when he thought it was impossible to make any progress, this year's spring plowing has yielded results—Shen Tang once explained to Jiang Sheng in public the way of his scribes, using his power of words to nourish a small area and increase the possibility of a good year.
To be honest, Xu Jie was very moved at first.
Business is very profitable, but far less stable than farming.
Field property is the most stable source of income, and controlling food is equivalent to pinching the lifeline of this world—of course, the premise is that you have the ability to hold food without being killed by the enemy.
Otherwise, no matter how much food there is, it is still a wedding dress for others.
For example, Xu made friends with Wu Xian for his backing.
However, when Xu Jie had a deep understanding of this way of literati, he found that it was actually not that attractive—only a place in Heyin needed Shen Tang, Chu Yao, Qi Shan, Gu Chi, Kang Shi, and Jiang Sheng The literary spirit of literary scholars.
Among them is Dacheng of Humanities Palace.
Xu Jie: "...knows a thing or two."
_(:з)∠)_
This lineup really cannot be imitated.
There was no similar scribe among them.
He looked at the corn harvested by the common people, and joked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, look. 'The grains are big and firm', this is true, but 'three times the size of the years' is an exaggeration."
Triple no.
But there are still a little more than double.
Because the upper limit of corn yield per mu is limited, even if there is a blessing from the Word Spirit to increase fertility, there will be no more. And Shen Tang almost "put all his eggs in one basket", setting aside 30% of the field to cultivate wheat, indeed ushering in an unprecedented bumper year.
The yield of wheat per mu is much higher than that of corn, and the high-quality wheat seeds carefully purchased by Xu Jie are used. Coupled with the canal irrigation that has been put into use for spring plowing this year, the yield has naturally increased to a higher level.
It's a pity that the wheat is not easy to shell, the taste of cooked wheat rice is not good, it is easy to scratch the throat, and it doesn't taste like corn. But - it is not easy to have enough to eat in this world.
Taste?
That's what rich people who have no worries about food and clothing pay attention to.
The wheat harvest was bumper, and the tenant farmers who received the order to plant wheat cried with joy. One of the families had a large population and was assigned a lot of land. According to the amount reported by the petty official, the land tax was deducted on the spot, and the remaining grain was enough for their family to feed for two years!
This is two years!
Two full years!
If you replace fresh wheat with old grain, you can last longer, and you will no longer be afraid of starving to death during this period.
Thinking of this, the family hugged each other and cried.
Similar situations are happening everywhere.
Just listening to their cries made me feel sad, and I heard Shen Tang say with some relief: "Well, people's livelihood has been difficult since ancient times... But at least now, they can live like human beings. After I leave, Wen Zhu, they will give it to you."
The venue is very casual, but her tone is very solemn.
If there is anything she can't let go of He Yin, it is only these common people who have suffered so much. It's not that Shen Tang can't defy the will and stay. After all, Zheng Qiao's control over the local government can only be described with the word "hehe".
But she knew better in her heart, which is more important.
She can develop wretchedly in He Yin.
But before this, Longwu County has been broken by Shiwu, and their grievances accumulated for hundreds of years will be vented on innocent people. Under the cavalry, there are all wronged souls. Even if they are lucky enough to turn the tide in the end, how can the dead come back?
Ji Shou said—
【The one who should suffer the consequences is Zheng Qiao! 】
That can't be expected from Zheng Qiao's conscience to find out.
Yan Xingning said—
【Ming Lord, you should love the world at the same time. 】
She loves He Yin, and also pities Long Wu.
Therefore, danger must be kept out of the border, even if there are many difficulties, we will go against the current!
Xu Jie nodded solemnly: "Wei."
It seems that what was taken over from Shen Tang was not the title of Heyin County Sheriff, but the heavy future of tens of millions of people.
Because of the special situation, this year's autumn harvest is in a rush.
People from all sides came to help, and it came to an end within seven days, and the rest of the storage work was Xu Jie's job. Shen Tang brought enough food, grass, soldiers and horses, ready to go. And the cousin recommended by Xu Jie also arrived on the last day, and was dragged over by the angry Xu Jie to take him to meet the future new master.
Along the way, I still don’t forget thousands of exhortations and exhortations.
Hearing it made people's ears callous.
The cousin's little thumb picked out his ears and complained: "Brother, you are not so careful with Mr. Wu..."
Will it be too much of a fuss?
Xu Jie threw a sharp look at him, and his cousin was so shocked that he straightened his spine, not daring to be lazy.
Xu Jie was slightly satisfied when he saw this.
Then he scolded: "What did you say? Mr. Shen, you can't be better—ah, isn't this afraid that you will offend others? If you become a lord, the clan can take care of you, but if It's messy here with Shen Jun, hum!"
Cousin: "???"
Is something not quite right?
