In the next few days, Chen Feng, who had just taken office, did some practical work. Adhering to the purpose of building roads before getting rich, he used the wood and stones provided by the system to repair and renovate important roads and city walls in Wan County. .
At the same time, he seriously began to observe the public sentiment in Wan County, make friends with family dignitaries, and use public money to run his own family affairs. Help the poor people, arrange jobs for homeless refugees, reclaim wasteland, and start planting again.
As long as these unruly people are given something to do and food to eat, the rebellion will be reduced.
But halfway through the project, a big problem arose.
That is, a famine broke out in Wan County, which was in the dry season. The people in Wan County had already almost eaten up all the grain reserves used for planting at home, and there was no food left to grow.
If this continues, within two months, large numbers of people will starve to death, and in serious cases there will be rebellion. Even if all the food in the yamen is taken out, it will not be enough to relieve so many refugees. Even if it is taken out, what will happen next?
This left Chen Feng without a good idea for a while, and he began to think about how to solve the problem.
"Master Chen, the thing you asked me to bake is done."
Just as Chen Feng was thinking about it, his officers and soldiers brought a plate of hot, smoking sweet potatoes to him.
"Um……"
Looking at the sweet potato in front of him, Chen Feng had an unrealistic idea and asked the system:
"Xiao Ai, can these sweet potatoes you gave me be planted on the land of today's Eastern Han Dynasty?"
[Yes, all food given to the host in the system can be grown in any environment by default. 】
After getting confirmation from the system, Chen Feng was overjoyed. The feeling of cheating was so good.
Chen Feng called Zhu Xing repeatedly and told Zhu Xing that he wanted to introduce these two foods from his hometown to be planted in Wan County. He gave all the sweet potatoes and potatoes to Zhu Xing and asked him to choose a suitable piece of land as a key protection zone. Planting.
"Master Chen, is this... not a little inappropriate?"
Zhu Xing also ate the sweet potatoes and potatoes given by Chen Feng. Not only did they taste good, but they were also very filling. Moreover, Chen Feng also said that if you plant these things, they will not last long and produce many fruits. They are not picky about the environment and are easier to grow than rice. In addition to There are basically no disadvantages except that you will fart if you eat too much.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty where food was scarce today, it would not be an exaggeration to describe this as a priceless treasure.
Chen Feng handed over these priceless treasures to Zhu Xing so easily, which made Zhu Xing a little overwhelmed.
Chen Feng said to Zhu Xing seriously: "It is best to leave this matter to you, and I am most at ease. If these two things can really be grown in Wan County, I don't know how many people in Wan County will no longer have to suffer from hunger in the future." ."
"If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Lao Zhu, I hope you can work hard with me to complete this great ambition."
When Zhu Xing heard this, he was so moved that he almost shed tears. Not only did his boss trust him very much, he was even a good official with great ambitions!
"I... I will definitely live up to your trust and grow these two things on this land in Wan County!"
[Ding Dong, the host’s loyalty to Wan County Magistrate Zhu Xing has changed, from 43 to 65. 】
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Chen Feng patted Zhu Xing's shoulder with relief.
This food will continue to grow as long as it is planted. Until the food is sown and recycled, the problem of food shortage will still exist.
Under this situation, Chen Feng ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain, and led a group of officials to take the lead in saving food and expenses, insisting on spending the food growing period with the people.
The saying "If you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wanxian County, and the people of Wanxian County all loved Chen Feng, the newly appointed magistrate. The entire Wanxian County slowly entered the On the right track, thriving.
Wan County Yamen Gate
"Master Chen is out! Master Chen is out!"
"Hey! Brothers in front, don't squeeze."
"Master Chen, you are our living Bodhisattva in Wan County!"
"Master Chen is mighty!!"
"Hey! Don't push the brothers behind you..."
As soon as Chen Feng went out, he was immediately surrounded by the enthusiastic people of Anhui County who had been blocking the yamen gate for a long time.
"Quiet, everyone, please allow me to say a few words."
"Stop! Mr. Chen is ready to speak!"
The crowd fell silent immediately.
Seeing this, Chen Feng cleared his throat, recalled in his mind the mandarin that he used to go to school on TV in his previous life, and said to the crowd:
"I feel everyone's enthusiasm. This is what I should do. Raise your hand... Hey, aunt, you can take it back. I can't accept it."
Just in the middle of speaking, an aunt standing in the front row directly stuffed the ancestral treasure in her hand (a jet-black jade dug out of nowhere) into Chen Feng's hand.
"Master Chen, just accept it and treat it as a little thought from us."
"No, I am an honest official. If I accept it, won't it be said that I took the people's things and plundered the people's anointing? I have made up my mind, you should take it back, there is no need to give it away again."
As soon as these words came out, the people at the scene immediately admired Chen Feng even more. What is a good official? This is a good official! !
"Well, for the sake of Mr. Chen's reputation, let's take it back."
"Um."
Chen Feng nodded. Just when he thought the people were ready to disperse, the people still didn't leave.
"Master Chen, I wonder if you are noble this year? Are you married or not?" an old uncle among the common people suddenly said.
Chen Feng: ⊙ω⊙
"Granddaughter, come and meet Mr. Chen."
The old uncle pulled a little girl who came with him behind him, and the little girl then walked out with her head lowered as if she was a little shy.
The little girl is thirteen or fourteen years old, not tall, her clothes are old and dirty, and her face is a little muddy, but she is very delicate and cute, with a childish face...cough~cough, calm down, I have already budgeted for two, If you have more, you can have a table of children playing Landlord.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Um...old man, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't talk any more. I appreciate your kindness. Let's all leave. Ha, let's leave."
After saying that, Chen Feng turned around and walked back into the yamen. The enthusiastic people wanted to step forward again, but they were stopped outside the yamen by more than a dozen officers and soldiers.
"Huh? Dad, sister, look, it's so lively over there!"
Not far from the yamen entrance, a little girl in green clothes saw many people gathered in front of her and couldn't help but curiously pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged man next to her.
"That location... seems to be the county government office."
The middle-aged man is considered a native of Wan County and knows his way around.
"Yamen? That's where the county magistrate's office is?" The little girl in green clothes lit up her eyes when she heard the sound: "Then he should be in there!"
"Hey, Xiao Qiao, slow down."
Xiao Qiao pulled the middle-aged man and ran excitedly to the crowd in front and squeezed in.
"Little girl, you're not allowed in here, go play somewhere else."
An officer and soldier stopped Xiao Qiao and others who wanted to break in.
"Oh~ I am good friends with your county magistrate, can I go in?" Xiao Qiao said to the officers and soldiers honestly.
Of course, the officers and soldiers did not accept this trick and still stood firm at their posts and refused to let him in.
"You...you...you...don't let me in..."
"Xiao Qiao, come back."
The middle-aged man behind him pulled back the angry Xiao Qiao.
My name is Mr. Qiao, oh no, I am not called Mr. Qiao. Others call me Mr. Qiao, so I am called Mr. Qiao. I am the father of Xiao Qiao and the others. Not long after returning home a few days ago, I heard that a new county magistrate has arrived in Wan County. , so I thought of coming to visit (condom is close).
When going out, Xiao Qiao heard that she was going to the county and insisted on joining them. What did she and her sister know about the new magistrate of Wan County? Of course I don't believe this, but since I rarely come back, I take them out for a walk.
