Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 435
A magistrate came to Shahe County, and it was soon known to the people in the county. Although they had not seen him, all the people hoped that the magistrate could help them get rid of the local emperor, master Yang, and help them live a good life.
“Why don’t we go and find a new master? Maybe the new master will help us get water back and sell our sheep to the merchants outside.”
“No, if the new master and the previous county magistrate are in the same group as master Yang, then we still have a way to live?”
Before the new magistrate came, some people went to sue. After entering the county government, they never came out alive.
There was a private discussion among the people, and master Yang’s family was no exception.
On the chair covered with sheepskin sat a fat man. His thick and fat fingers were covered with gold rings. I don’t know how long he took them. The gold rings were stuck in the meat and couldn’t be pulled out.
This is the Tu emperor of Shahe County, the man who holds the lifeblood of all sheep farmers. “Wei Zhu Bo, what does this new county magistrate mean? It’s been several days since I came to the county. Why haven’t you come to visit me? ”
Wei Zhong said: “master Yang, the new magistrate of Lu county is just a little white face who doesn’t understand. He has a good face, but he doesn’t understand.”
Goat master angry, fat hand suddenly hit the table, who come to Shahe County don’t give him some thin noodles“ What’s the background of Lu? ”
Wei master Bo and Lu’s servants inquired about it, but they didn’t hear anything. They also understood Lu Yunkai’s background. “Lu county magistrate should be a merchant’s son. I saw that the first servant brought a lot of goods. A few days ago, he knocked in the County Yamen and repaired it. It can be seen that he is also a master who can only enjoy himself.”
Wei Zhong paused and said, “don’t worry, master Yang. I’ll let magistrate Lu come to visit you a few days ago.”
After hearing Wei Zhong’s words, master Yang felt that the magistrate of Lu county was not afraid. “If he doesn’t visit again, he will ask for something in the future. Don’t blame me for being merciless.”
“You are right, Mr. sheep.” Wei Zhong said with a flattering smile.
The next day, Lu Yunkai was looking at the map of the nearby county in the county yamen, trying to see how to deal with it, so that the barren border can also harvest food.
Just when he was serious, Wei Zhong came to the county government and saw the brazier burning in the room. He thought that Lu county magistrate was really a man who wanted to enjoy himself. “I’ll see you.”
“No gift.” Lu Yunkai did not raise his eyes, but just knocked on the table: “Wei Zhubo, you have been an official in Shahe County for many years. You must know all the land near Shahe county very well. Do you know what is suitable to grow on these land?”
Wei Zhong came forward and looked at the map on the table. “County magistrate, although Shahe county has a large area, there are few apprentices who may be used for farming. Except for the places near the river where some soybeans and wheat can be barely planted, the rest of the land can’t be planted at all.”
“Twenty years ago, a magistrate of county Zhang ordered his disciples to cultivate rice. Unfortunately, there was no harvest for two years in a row, and countless people died of starvation. Since then, no one dares to grow food.”
Wei Zhong said here with an expression of embarrassment: “county magistrate, I don’t know if I should say something or not.”
“Say it.” Lu Yun opened the way.
“In the past, there were many adults who wanted to plant grain in Shahe County, but they all failed in the end. If adults also had this idea, they’d better give it up for the time being.” Wei ZHONGDUN then said: “county magistrate, you just came to Shahe county. I don’t know that the whole new state is covered with snow in autumn. It won’t melt until the spring of next year. Except for the grass in summer and early autumn, it’s cold all the time.”
“We can only raise sheep in this cold weather.” Wei Zhongdao said: “the sheep in Xinzhou grow well. They are more delicious than those in other places. It’s a good thing.”
Lu Yun opened but said nothing.
When Wei Zhong saw this, he thought that Lu Yun was happy. He said, “county magistrate, there is a sheep master in Shahe County, but he is a big sheep farmer. The sheep master raises the most sheep in several nearby counties. If you want to develop the sheep industry, you can discuss it with him.”
“The magistrate may not be familiar with master Yang, but it doesn’t matter. I have some friendship with master Yang. I can introduce you to him.”
Lu Yunkai said with a faint smile: “no, I don’t like the smell of mutton.”
A word blocked Wei Zhong speechless, in the heart secretly gave birth to a bit of resentment, “that adult is the purpose of planting wheat and rice?”
“I will continue to think about it.” Now the whole Shahe Village is really like what Wei Zhong said. Most of the land is covered in the snow, and a small part of the exposed loess is hard. There is not much excavation, so Lu Yunkai plans to wait until the spring of next year.
As for what to do this winter?
Lu Yun opened his eyes with a kind of cool smile and stared at Wei Zhong. That was the obstacle to clean up the county!
……
After Wei Zhong left, he went to visit master Yang and told him what happened today.
Master Yang was so angry that he threw his iron wine cup on the ground, “how unreasonable, how unreasonable! If this little white face can walk smoothly in Shahe County in the future, his name will be written upside down! ”
“Master Yang, please calm down. The magistrate of Shahe county is new and doesn’t understand the world. Just teach him a lesson. Don’t go too far. After all, he is still the magistrate of Shahe county.” Wei Zhongdao.
Master Yang is not afraid, “a hairy boy should go home to drink milk. What do you do in this remote place? Hum! Laozi must teach this innocent little white face a lesson this time! ”
“Wei Zhong, I think it’s up to you to be the magistrate of Shahe county. Don’t try to get all the outsiders.” Master Yang said, “I’ll write to my in laws and ask him to help me with the operation. In the future, Shahe county will be our brothers’ territory.”
There was a glimmer of joy in Wei Zhong’s eyes. He had been looking forward to being the magistrate of Shahe County, but he was expecting another kid who didn’t know what to call a hairy boy. He almost didn’t get angry. If master Yang was willing to help at the beginning, how could he wait until now?
But what’s the use of saying that now? “But the magistrate Lu has come…”
“What if it comes? We can make him disappear when he comes. ” Master Yang’s mind flashed calculation.
Wei Zhong’s eyes also flashed a glimmer of pride. He was proud to play with the two giants of Shahe county. As long as master Yang wanted to do something, was the county magistrate far away from him?
