County magistrate Cheng frowned when he heard what the man in the mansion said. He turned to look at Song Jinggong, who was also puzzled, and asked the man, "Do you know what happened to the two people here?"
"Small I don't know, neither of them made it clear to him. I want them to start from yesterday and rush to this side. There must be something big."
"En." The county magistrate Cheng nodded slightly, did not say anything else, and led Song Jinggong to the mansion.
Song Jinggong didn't say much. He could guess why he was here with the elderly. It was probably what the little son said when he asked him to come. Ge Yingxi couldn't make any inquiries, so he reported the affairs of Zhang Wang's two villagers to the report. .
The two of them didn't have any grades, they were about the same as the village master. They were nothing more than coordinating some things in the village and the country. Unfortunately, the young man had thought of it a long time ago, and made arrangements in advance, so there is no need to worry about being calculated behind the scenes.
Xian Ling Cheng only slept for less than two hours, but now he didn't feel sleepy at all. He was still in the excitement of being praised by the people. He asked Song Jinggong to go to the side room to rest, and he came into the hall by himself.
After sitting here and drinking tea three times, Cunzheng and the elders saw the county magistrate came and quickly got up to salute. They didn't sleep for a long time, and they were as energetic as the county magistrate at the moment.
"It turns out that it was Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao. I didn't know if they found the county in the early days, but what happened over there?" Cheng county magistrate was also more polite to the two people, especially the elder Feng, who was originally a Yamen. Those who do things in the middle of the country, get the official position from the county's prime position. Because of their higher status in the township, others are regarded as seniors, so it is not easy to be negligent.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao looked at each other, and finally Qi Lizheng said: "Lord County Magistrate, I do have a major issue to tell Madam Yu."
"Oh? Not busy, the two of you haven't eaten anything yet? The standby man delivered a snack, and after eating it, the official is the same. The toss up to now, the belly is empty."
Madam Cheng saw that the two men seemed to have a hint of joy on their faces, so he was not in a hurry, and ordered them to serve snacks and sit there to accompany them to eat.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao are indeed hungry, especially Feng Lao, who is old and rushes back overnight and needs to eat and rest.
The three of them drank tea and ate without talking. Qi Lizheng was relatively younger. He ate and wondered how to tell the magistrate of the good news for a while. By then, he would have done a great job. .
I was eating and thinking. Last night, Ge Yingxi, the Cunzheng of the Gejiazhuangzi, came to find and told the story about the spring plowing of the Wangjiazhuangzi. He didn’t believe it at the beginning, and then followed people lighting a torch to check there. Only then did I understand that it was indeed the plowing that had already begun the second time.
This is a remarkable thing. Others have not even ploughed the ground once and again. There are not many people in the Zhuangzi family of Zhangwang, but the ground is ploughing fast. There are only a few night watchmen in the ground. After asking, it turns out that there is nothing. I didn't ask, if it wasn't for Ge Yingxi that the plow used here was different from elsewhere, he had almost been deceived by the night watchman of Zhang Wangjia and Zhuangzi.
If there is that good thing, I don’t even take it out or report it to myself and others. It’s just a matter of replacing it, but I can’t let go of anything that can speed up spring plowing. If that’s the case, I have to push it. .
After going through the matter in his mind, Qi Li was taking a sip of tea from time to time, stopping to look at the county magistrate and Feng Lao, thinking that his prestige could be further improved in the future, and felt that the tea was also better than in the past.
Feng Lao also ate with the excitement in his heart. Last night Ge Yingxi and Qi Lizheng were found together, and he followed to take a look at them, and they did not call the person in charge after they showed their identity. Row.
He who has worked in Liangjie County, he knows that the kind of plow that can make the arable land faster than others has much benefit to the entire Datang, even if the Wang Family Zhuangzi doesn’t seem to want to take it out, he has to Reported.
The snack lasted for two quarters of an hour before it was over. The county magistrate Cheng took another sip of tea and asked: "Do Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao feel that their stomachs are not so uncomfortable?"
The two of them should be together. This time, Qi Lizheng still starts, "My lord, I wait for this time to tell you something important, and this matter will benefit the country and the people."
"Oh? What things can benefit the country and the people, hurry up." The county magistrate Cheng looked anxious at this time. Just now, he had let people eat with him, but he was really not in a hurry. , Benefit the country and the people? What kind of thing is bigger than the new plow I just made
Qi Lizheng coughed softly, tried to make himself less excited, and said, "My lord, I will find a place where the spring ploughing is several times faster than elsewhere. I heard people say that it uses a different kind of A new plow elsewhere.
I checked with Feng Lao overnight, and when I went there, it was true that the land hadn’t been ploughed again in other places, and the second ploughing had already started there. When I waited to see it, the ploughing the second time was not done. When there is less, the fat is dumped into the soil, and when the time comes, people will be used to step on it. There must be more harvest in the autumn.
Feng Lao and I wanted to meet the person in charge of the Zhuangzi, but who knows how many times they were called, but no one came out there. I had to wait until dawn to talk about it. Feng Lao was afraid that the night would have many dreams, and then they would not admit it. There was a new plow, so it came overnight. "
Majesty Cheng was listening there. At first he thought there was something else over there. After listening to it, he realized that it turned out to be for the quyuanli business. Now there is nothing strange. My heart said you two. Before I saw the plow, I just found it. I personally delivered the plow to others, and I was not as anxious as you.
"Well, it turns out it's this thing, I see." The county magistrate Cheng waited until Qi Li was finished speaking, and then he nodded casually, picked up the tea bowl and drank there again.
"My lord, you should send someone to check it out quickly, and find the people in charge of the two Zhuangzi, and let them offer things."
Seeing that the county magistrate Cheng didn't look happy, Qi Lizheng became anxious at this time and urged him aloud. Once he finished speaking, he was a little worried that the county magistrate blamed him, sitting there anxiously not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Feng Lao also said, "My lord, what Qi Lizheng said is really right. If the people over there don't want to send the new plow up and secretly ruin it, then I will be missing a good thing. ."
"Never mind, since Feng Lao said so, then the officer let Feng Lao and Qi Lizheng feel at ease." Cheng County magistrate called for a servant from a mansion, gave a few words in his ear, and the servant turned around. go with.
The county magistrate Cheng continued to greet the two people for tea. Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao thought that the county magistrate would bring people to Zhuangzi over there, and it was a lot more stable.
After about a quarter of an hour, the servant who had just left returned to the hall, with a set of plows behind him.
"Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao have a look, but this kind of plow? Unlike ordinary straight-wheel plows, the plows of this plow are curved." The county magistrate Cheng took another sip of tea and said to the two with a smile. It was just taken from Zhou Xihu.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao have never seen what the plows used in Zhangwang's two villages are like. They only heard the steward of Gezhuang say that the shaft of the new plow is different from the old plow. See you at this time, and then listen to the magistrate. If they were, they were all stunned there.
The two of them also knew that no matter how fast the horse rushed from the county seat to the village, it was impossible for the horse to run back and forth in such a short time. This showed that the county magistrate had already existed here.
"My lord, I don't know where did you find this plow?" Qi Lizheng said again.
"In a family in the county, the officer already knows why Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao have come. You can rest assured that at dawn today, the officer will order someone to post a notice in the county to let the people of spring ploughing come. Go and buy it over there. The official came back from outside this morning just to verify the new plow."
Cheng County Commander made an unpredictable look, and said with a smile, Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao.
"This, this..." Qi Li was about to say something, but didn't know where to start.
"My lord, since you already know it, why not let people do more at the beginning of spring ploughing?" Feng Lao asked at this time.
"It's not because I don't want it, but I can't. When the new plough comes out, it's still unclear whether it's easy to use. When we have to find someone to use it first, the Wang Family Zhuangzi also thinks that way. It looks like it's really good now." While speaking, the county magistrate glanced at the fellow.
This person followed the county magistrate to verify that Zhuangzi last night, naturally understood what the adults meant, and immediately said: "Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao may not know yet. This new plow is called Quyuanli. It is my family’s hard work. It took a lot of effort to find the dealers on the Zhangjiazhuangzi to make it.
After Wang Wang's family used it and sent someone to send a new plow, the adults didn’t care about their own work. On the one hand, they ordered people to rush to make the plow first. On the other hand, they went to the nearby village to verify. A lot. "
When the next person was talking, he started to wipe his tears. It seemed that he really felt sorry for the magistrate.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao were both stupid. They looked at the county magistrate Cheng and didn’t notice that they were thin. They thought they could get some praise, but the county magistrate knew about it a long time ago, and this new plow is still It came from the county magistrate, Qi Lizheng has no doubt about it, but Feng Lao, who has been a county prime minister, knows the way.
It seems that the Wang family has found the magistrate of Cheng County. No wonder they don’t care about the passing of Qi Lizheng and himself. The most important thing is that they have considered this aspect more carefully, which caused him and Qi Lizheng to ran away in vain. Trip, I didn't get anything in the end.
"It turns out that it was a new plow made by an adult. Feng Mou really doesn't know what to say here. Adults are really good officials. For the sake of the people, adults should take a lot of rest. Don't tire yourself out. People in the county can You can't lose a good official like an adult."
Feng Lao now couldn't find anything else besides saying that. Once he finished speaking, he had to get up and leave.
The county magistrate Cheng said quickly: "Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao don't have to go in a hurry. They will take a break and go to the place where the plows are sold with the officials."
