"Slave, I have met the young master. I haven't seen you for a few days, and the young master has become a little thin."
Yue'er dismounted first and saluted Chu Feng. Now that Chu Feng insists on practicing Changchun Palace, his body muscles are obviously much stronger and he looks a little thinner. However, his strength has improved a lot.
"Alas, the young master is exhausted for these donations from Shanglin County. These days, I can't eat well or sleep well, for fear that someone will succeed."
Chu Feng said pretending to be tired. He also deliberately rubbed his temples, which made Yue'er, Xue'er, and Ling'er feel very distressed. They wanted to take the young master immediately and go back to Chujiazhuang to rest.
Next to her, Shuang'er said to herself: "The young master's ability to lie is getting better and better. He talks nonsense with his eyes open, and it's so natural. What can he be tired of? He keeps looking for Wu Xiuting every now and then, and he always treats her like a fool. He screamed after tossing, and then he always wanted to make his own plans, but unfortunately the master watched closely and didn't let the young master succeed."
"Master, you have worked really hard for Shanglin County, but many people from Shanglin County have also come to our Chu Village to help. Now our village has really changed a lot? Master, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Uncle Wu also ran over and said loudly. He was smiling from ear to ear because of Zhuangzi's changes. Zhuangzi was as if he had changed into a new one!
"Haha, okay, young master, let's go in and take a look." Chu Feng said, riding his horse, he walked along the entrance of the village and walked inside.
What Chu Feng didn't expect was that in just a few days, Chujiazhuang had completely changed.
At first glance from the entrance of the village, you can see a spacious and open stone road that is brand new, with brand new stone houses on both sides! The progress of this project is quite fast!
Chu Feng rode his horse and continued to move forward along the stone road.
I found that everything in Zhuangzi was full of newness. Even the old ladies sunbathing on the roadside had smiling faces.
However, those playful children were missing. I couldn't help but glance at Yue'er who was following behind me, and asked softly: "Is it possible that all the children have gone to work? The south of Zhuangzi seems to be very lively."
"There is no need for them when working, and many people in Shanglin County still don't need them. At this time, the children should go to the fields to find wild vegetables or cut grass. Now every household in our village has raised a small child. Chickens, ducks, and little rabbits. Yesterday, the slave spent more than a hundred silver cakes to buy a group of piglets, lambs, and a few cowboys. By the way, the water mill did as the master ordered, It’s now open for business, and many noble families have sent their servants over to buy noodles.”
Yue'er followed him and reported in detail the changes in Chujiazhuang these days.
How could Chu Feng be in the mood to listen to this? He only thought about how he could kiss Yue'er. But looking back, I found that not only Shuang'er, Xue'er, and Ling'er were following, but also a group of old men and old ladies led by Uncle Wu.
Chu Feng suppressed the evil fire, pretended, looked back and forth on the farm for a few times, praised him, and then reluctantly let Yue'er and the others continue to supervise the work. He only took Shuang'er with him and returned to the convoy.
After all, in broad daylight, there are many people and there are many eyes, so you can't mess around with Yue'er and the others.
When Chu Feng rushed to Shanglin County with his food convoy, it was almost noon.
The county magistrate, the catcher, and some government servants all came to greet him.
Chu Feng looked at the red-faced county leaders of Shanglin County and said in his heart: "Oh, no matter how poor Shanglin County is, these small officials will not starve to death!"
Chu Feng wanted to say a few polite words, but suddenly realized: It was almost noon, Shanglin County was quiet, and there was very little smoke. He couldn't help but look at the fat-headed and pot-bellied county magistrate, and asked: "Wu County Magistrate, didn't we distribute food a few days ago? Why is there so little smoke?"
"Reporting to the county magistrate, it's still early and there will be another hour before it's time for everyone to have lunch. After all, it's one and a half meals a day, so it's better to eat later."
The county magistrate said in a low voice with a grimace, as if he was also hungry.
"One and a half meals a day? What do you mean?"
Chu Feng asked with some confusion.
"After noon, have a full meal. In the evening, drink some water, or put down two mouthfuls of food, and it's a day. Otherwise, there will be no harvest in the fields. What if we run out of relief food?"
Wu Xian Cheng explained with a grimace.
"Click"
Chu Feng broke the riding crop in his hand, threw it to the ground angrily, and said loudly: "In a while, I will write a notice and tell everyone that they must eat at least two full meals a day. As long as they are diligent, the county magistrate can guarantee that they will not Will starve."
"Plop"
Wu Xian Cheng was the first to kneel down in front of Chu Feng, followed by the arresting officer, who all knelt down on the ground.
"On behalf of the people of Shanglin County, I would like to thank the county magistrate. As long as the county magistrate can feed everyone, I am willing to follow you to the death!"
Wu Xian Cheng knelt on the ground, his fat body still a little unsteady, but he shouted at the top of his lungs.
The head catcher and all the government officials behind him also shouted loudly. The voice was so loud and full of confidence. Obviously their life is much better than that of the common people!
"Everyone, get up. I don't like this. What I like is being able to do practical things for the people, not shouting slogans. After I settle down, you can take me to see the black soil. Look how terrible it is, it can actually harm the people of the whole county, and there is no way for them to survive."
Chu Feng said calmly.
I kept thinking about the black land on the earth in my previous life. It was definitely the most fertile land! Why are there no crops growing here?
In this way, under the leadership of Wu Xian Cheng, everyone walked through the streets and went straight to the county government office.
Although Shanglin County has been in dire straits in the past two years, the streets and houses are not too dilapidated.
Most of the houses are made of soil mixed with wood, and there are also a small number of stone houses. There are not many thatched houses that are the most unreliable. But thatched roofs are still common.
Since there were almost no people on the streets, the convoy's trip went smoothly.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the county government office. After unloading the food, the people from the horse and carriage team got some water and dry food. After saying goodbye to Chu Feng, they set out on the road back to the capital.
Wu Xian Cheng, with a big belly, looked at the grain piled up in the warehouse, curled up the corners of his mouth with a sneer, and whispered to himself: "The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is really rich! In order to let the dandy son become an official, he did not hesitate to pay such a loss. More food!”
At this time, Zhang Captou also walked in, stretched out his hand to pat the grain bag, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate, this is the county magistrate. I have found out clearly that the young prince of Zhenbei Hou Mansion used to like drinking flowers the most." Drinking, sleeping with women. However, recently, I seem to have suddenly enlightened myself. I have created many novelties, and they were even appreciated by His Majesty, who made him a consort. He also organized a couplet in the capital to raise funds for our Shanglin County. I’ve made a lot of money. Haha, our county will definitely live a good life this time.”
"Hey, why have you become enlightened recently? Do you believe this kind of deception? Do you think a dandy who eats, drinks, whores, and gambles will become a great talent after sleeping? Huh, it's all a game for nobles. Moreover, I see that the county magistrate's daily necessities are enough to fill a large cart! And there are four or five maids alone. He is totally a dandy who came to get gold! Just watch. Soon the county magistrate will My lord, your true colors will be revealed. By the way, you have to hide your daughter well, otherwise she is as beautiful as a flower, and if she is..."
Wu Xian Cheng did not finish speaking, but the expression on his fat face left no room for doubt.
This is completely different from the loyalty he showed to Chu Feng just now, kneeling and shouting!
