When everyone was talking about it, Squire Huang Youliang and Huang stood up, personally brought wine and food, expressed condolences to the villagers who dug up the black soil, and said with great emotion: "The magistrate of Chu County is really selfless. He did not hesitate to let you Chu County for the sake of Shanglin County." The family farm also accompanies the management of the black soil! As a squire from Shanglin County, I was really moved, so I prepared these thin wines as a token of my gratitude. However, are you really not afraid of being poisoned? "
Uncle Wu drank a bowl of wine and said mysteriously: "To tell you the truth, my young master has suppressed this black earth evil spirit and does not dare to poison us. Didn't you see that we have been digging for several days and nothing happened?"
Suddenly, many people in Shanglin County went to the county government office one after another, wanting to kowtow to Chu Feng. In order to stop them from disturbing Chu Feng, Zhang Captou was very worried. But I also feel Chu Feng's importance to Shanglin County from the bottom of my heart.
Finally, a notice was posted to Master Wendong.
Tell everyone not to come to the county government office to thank Mr. Chu, otherwise they will disturb Mr. Chu’s work. If you want to express your gratitude, just burn incense at home.
He was so angry that Chu Feng almost kicked this kid to death, leaving him alive to enjoy the incense!
However, this method worked really well, and soon the front of the Yamen was clear.
But what everyone doesn’t know is: Chujiazhuang dug black soil not for Shanglin County, but used the black soil to bake batches of exquisite ceramics! It's just that they are all stored and not sold.
Just when Uncle Wu was leading many farmers, working hard to dig coal like chicken blood, the census work in Shanglin County was also coming to an end.
Huang Youliang, who secretly took refuge in Chu Feng, actually became good friends with Xiang Wendong!
There are a total of 33,468 people in the county, but the number of strong laborers is less than 3,000! There are not many women of working age, only more than 4,000. As for the little kid, not too many. Most of them are lonely old men and old ladies. Nearly 20,000! The situation is not optimistic.
It's not just because of the black soil flooding in Shanglin County in the past two years, but the panic caused by the black soil flooding has caused many people to work hard and go to other places.
Soon, with the help of Xiang Wendong, new notices were posted.
Notice:
Starting today, the county is launching a plan to combat black soil.
Anyone who joins the excavation team will receive twenty copper coins and two full meals a day!
Requirements: Age between fifteen and sixty years old.
In addition, those who wash, cook, and maintain order will receive five copper coins a day and two full meals.
Requirements: Between the ages of twelve and sixty-five.
Those who are younger than 12 years old and older than 65 years old can receive thick porridge for free.
The scope of recruitment is limited to ordinary people in Shanglin County.
At the end of the notice, he added: "Don't be afraid of black soil. As long as Mr. Chu is here, black soil will not poison the people. No one in the Chu family village was poisoned when digging the soil, which is proof!"
As soon as the notice came out, it was not as enthusiastic as Chu Feng thought, but instead deserted.
Chu Feng was also a little confused. He was almost starving to death. Did he not want to make money? And a full meal?
"Sir, the people must be afraid that the black soil is poisonous and have lost their lives. Otherwise, why are some places still farming, and they have stopped farming? They must be afraid of being contaminated by the black soil and being poisoned to death!"
Xiang Wendong figured out the problem.
"But I have already told them that black soil will not poison them, and the bankers in Chujiazhuang are proof of that?"
Chu Feng asked in confusion.
"But the people are still worried. After all, this black soil has long been a scourge in their hearts. It's not just some people who have been digging the black soil for a few days to make them believe it. And now I don't know who is spreading the news outside: Your Excellency has limited magic power. We can only save Chujiazhuang, but not Shanglin County. Your Excellency asked the people of Shanglin County to dig black soil. In fact, it is for your own political achievements. Once you have political achievements, your Excellency will definitely be promoted and leave. Where will you take care of it? The life and death of the people of Lin County."
Listening to Xiang Wendong's words, Chu Feng sighed in his heart. Is it so difficult to do things with the existence of fucking troublemakers?
This is forcing me to continue to act like a ghost. Otherwise, the people would be so afraid of black soil that the excavation work would not be able to proceed!
"Well, you put up another notice and tell everyone: I want everyone to see with your own eyes that I can tame the evil evil spirit of black earth and prevent it from running rampant again. I also ask the land master of Lin County to give me a certificate. Order to start work!”
Chu Feng talked nonsense seriously, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, people are really afraid of black soil. I must practice feudal superstition once and help the people overcome their fear!
"Ah! Your Excellency, you want to tame the black earth evil spirit yourself? Can this be seen by the people with their own eyes?"
Xiang Wendong was shocked and felt incredible.
"Don't worry, I'll let you all see it with your own eyes when the time comes."
Chu Feng said with a confident smile.
Now we must use modern knowledge to fool these people.
At the same time, Su Heng, the eldest son of Duke Wei, was chatting and laughing with Wang Ying, an official from the Ministry of Punishment.
"Young master, you really know things like a god. Is Chu Fengrao as cunning as a fox? After seeing the jade pendant, he went to his grandpa's house. I heard that his poor cousin Luo Gui was beaten to death. I heard that he My eldest aunt and he both fell out."
Wang Ying was holding tea with a proud face. This expression was completely opposite to the dull and serious expression when she first saw Chu Feng.
"Well done. This time Chu Feng encouraged the people to dig up black soil again. Did the rumors I asked you to spread have any effect?"
Su Heng asked with a slight smile while holding the tea cup.
"Sir, of course it worked. Now almost no one in Shanglin County dares to sign up to dig black soil. In fact, I think that the young master should not stop the people from digging black soil. The black soil is poisonous. If it poisons the people, then Chu Feng seems to More unlucky!"
Wang Ying said in confusion.
"What you said makes sense, but I want to hate Chu Feng, and I will stop him in whatever he wants to do. Also, if there are people who can't resist the temptation of food and dig black soil, you must You must keep an eye on it, and report it immediately if someone is really poisoned and dies. When that boy Chu Feng is ruined, your benefits will be indispensable."
Su Heng lowered his voice and said.
Iron Sand Palm Wang Ying was overjoyed and quickly put down his tea cup, bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you in advance for your kindness."
Soon, the people of Shanglin County saw a new notice from the yamen: "In order to allow the people of Shanglin County to excavate black soil with peace of mind, Mr. Chu will take formal measures tomorrow to tame the evil evil of black soil! He also asked the land master of this county to issue a start-up order. Excavate the black soil to free the people of Shanglin County from suffering."
Now, Shanglin County is boiling again. Even the capital was talking about it.
Li Er was so angry that he almost came to Shanglin County to beat people up. He sat in Qianqing Palace and cursed: "Chu Feng, you are so capable. You can actually ask for the start of construction order from the Land Master of Shanglin County. Why don't you ask for it?" What is the Jade Emperor’s will?”
"If he could get the Jade Emperor's order to start work, wouldn't it be a disgrace to His Majesty? Your Majesty won't beat him to death yet. This kid is very measured in his actions."
Empress Changsun walked over with a chuckle and handed a cup of tea to Li Er. He said softly: "Xiaoxiaohuo, this kid is probably not just pretending to be famous, he must have other purposes."
"Huh, no matter what, it's taboo to pretend to be a ghost, and you'll be criticized in the future! That kid really dares to make mischief. However, I really want to see how he tamed the black soil evil spirit! Tomorrow, I will go there in person. And I will do it on the spot. Expose his tricks!"
Li Er said loudly and angrily. However, the hand holding the tea cup was steady, and it was obvious that he was not really angry.
