The fields in Dahe Village are beautiful.
Magistrate Shen stood on the ridge of the field and even had the urge to recite poetry.
However, he knew that the matter of regenerated rice could not be delayed. Most of the farmers in the village were hardworking. If they had a little leisure time, they might lead their cattle to plow the fields. A formal decree must be issued as soon as possible to prohibit plowing.
He and Cheng Wanwan came out of the field and prepared to return to the city.
"Zheng'er, my father has to deal with government affairs first. You stay well in the Zhao family and don't cause trouble. I will send someone to take you back in half a month."
Shen Zheng dragged Magistrate Shen to the side and lowered his voice: "Dad, I have something very, very important to tell you!"
Magistrate Shen's face became serious: "You say it, as a father, listen."
"Dad, look over there." Shen Zheng pointed Cheng Wanwan's direction with his eyes, "Aunt Zhao, how are you?"
Magistrate Shen's eyes were full of appreciation: "Zhao Cheng is very smart and has her own opinions and thoughts on everything. She is different from ordinary rural women. If she were a man, she would have achieved a lot long ago. Big business."
Shen Zheng grinned: "Dad, don't you always want to find a stepmother for me..."
"Nonsense!" County Magistrate Shen glared at him, "It was your grandma who was always pulling the strings. I was just cooperating. Since you don't like it, then I won't go there in the future. The Shen family has you, so they have an heir. I I can also explain to the ancestors of the Shen family..."
"Dad, I opposed this before because I was afraid that my stepmother would come in and abuse me. If she secretly put medicine in my food or something, wouldn't our Shen family be extinct?" Shen Zheng coughed and said, "I I have confirmed it for Dad, and there is absolutely no problem with Aunt Zhao’s character. The most important thing is that Aunt Zhao cannot abuse me. Dad, why don’t you just marry Aunt Zhao home and become Mrs. Shen.”
Magistrate Shen was stunned: "You, you..."
He didn't expect his son to say this at all, and he was not mentally prepared at all.
He couldn't help but look in the direction of Cheng Wanwan. Cheng Wanwan was talking to his sons. He didn't know what he said. He smiled with curved lips and a gentle smile in his eyebrows.
Magistrate Shen looked away uncomfortably and said with a straight face: "You are just kidding."
"Dad, do you dislike Aunt Zhao for giving birth to four sons? Do you think Aunt Zhao is not good enough for you?" Shen Zheng snorted, "I asked, Aunt Zhao is only thirty-three and two years younger than you. You Her hair is a few gray, and Aunt Zhao still looks very young. She is not inferior at all when standing next to a twenty-year-old woman. The most important thing is that Aunt Zhao is smart and is better than those sexy ladies and ladies like Zhang in the city. Too much……"
Magistrate Shen looked at Cheng Wanwan. She was standing in the crowd, and her white color was a bit dazzling. The summer had not completely passed, and everyone in the village was very dark from the sun. She was not dark at all, and her white color was translucent. When a person is white, his complexion appears and he looks younger.
If Cheng Wanwan had known about the conversation between father and son, she would have secretly complained in her heart. Ever since she came to Dahe Village, she would secretly apply sunscreen every day. Some sunscreens have whitening ingredients, so it would be strange if they didn't make them whiter.
Shen Zheng continued to persuade: "Dad, Aunt Zhao is really nice and treats me well, and she is very smart. Maybe she can help dad with suggestions..."
"Hey, Master Shen is complimenting our Dashan Niang." Old Mrs. Zhao suddenly walked in from the courtyard door.
Both the Shen family father and son were startled, and discomfort flashed across their faces.
Old Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Da Shan Niang is indeed smart. Recently, Li Zheng will ask Dashan Niang for advice on anything. County magistrate, these are twenty eggs collected by each family in the village. Sir, take it back and eat it."
Magistrate Shen quickly declined: "An egg costs two or three pennies, which is a good thing for the people. How can I ask for things from the people? This makes it impossible... Zheng'er, my father is leaving first. Don't think too much!"
He hurriedly escaped from the yard, and Master Yuan followed him confused.
Mrs. Zhao chased for a few steps but failed to catch up, and sighed: "If it were another official, I would have to search every house in the village before leaving. Our Lord Shen is really a good official."
Shen Zheng and Yourong Yan looked at Cheng Wanwan and said: "Aunt Zhao, my father is not only considerate and considerate of the people, but also a very responsible man. He never lets his family endure hardship. He will bring back any good things to his family. If If you become a member of our Shen family, you will have endless blessings in your life..."
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "Your father is indeed good."
Whether in ancient times or modern times, such good officials are rare.
"Then..." Shen Zheng leaned his head, "Aunt Zhao, have you ever thought about..."
"Shen Zheng!"
Zhao Ergou yelled, covered Shen Zheng's mouth, and dragged him away.
Zhao Sidan helped explain: "Second brother and Master Shen are just discussing business matters. Mom, don't think too much."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Mrs. Zhao shook her head: "Although Master Shen is easy-going, he can't be so careless. I'll go and talk to him..."
Cheng Wanwan hurriedly grabbed her old man and said, "The children are used to making trouble. Let them do whatever they want. The magistrate has left. Please help me and call all the people who work."
The wages for a day's work were thirty cents. How much money would be wasted after such a long delay? The old lady rushed to call for help.
After a while, the men who were making adobe came back and started working enthusiastically.
At this time, Magistrate Shen had arrived at the county government office.
As soon as we walked in, the chief clerk came to report: "Sir, Magistrate Zheng, Magistrate Bai, and Magistrate Fu are all here."
They are the county magistrates of Fenghuang Town, Baiyun Town, and Hekou Town. There are no towns under the jurisdiction of the counties in these places, so they are habitually called towns by the people. In fact, according to the court filings, Ping'an Town is Ping'an. County, Fenghuang Town is Fenghuang County, above the county is the prefecture city of Huzhou, above that is the provincial capital, and above the provincial capital is the capital city.
Magistrate Shen walked in and greeted everyone: "How come colleagues, how come you have time to come to Ping'an County?"
Magistrate Fu said, "I heard someone said that a farm tool that helps threshing appeared in a village in Ping'an County. Is this true?"
Magistrate Zheng followed: "Although the autumn harvest has passed, there will be another autumn harvest next year. If this is feasible and promoted during the slack season, it can be regarded as a benefit to the people."
"The stone roller is nothing. It can only be used as an auxiliary agricultural tool. The increase in grain yield per mu is the real benefit to the people." County Magistrate Shen raised his chin and said, "I am about to write a note to report to the prefect, but I really don't have time to receive you. Master Yuan, please bring out the best Biluochun in this county and entertain the county magistrates well."
Grain yield per acre increased!
This keyword made several people present get excited.
The county magistrate of Hekou Town looked at Magistrate Shen's arrogant and proud look and wished he could beat this old boy up. However, this was not the time to beat someone up. He pulled Magistrate Shen to sit down and said angrily: "Shen Brother, what’s going on with increasing the grain yield per acre, can you tell us all about it?”
