In two days, Zuo Qi led 78 people up the mountain. These people were all elderly, weak, women and children, but young and middle-aged people accounted for the majority. They were all refugees who had households but lost their land. They voluntarily depended on Xu You for the sake of their meals and became tenants in Mingyu Mountain.

The reason for recruiting tenants is that more than 200 hectares of land around it needs to be cultivated and the population is prosperous, so that it has a family. If Xu You wants to revive the Xu family, he must try his best to gradually expand the population. Now is the best time.

There is an old man named Zhou Peng who is in his early fifties and knows a few words, is wise and has a good reputation among the refugees. Xu You asked him to be the leader of the tenants and stated that the rent and taxes are only 30%.

According to the laws of Chu, all the tenants who cultivate their owner's land must pay 50% of the harvest, that is, half, and the burden is heavy. Xu You only collects 30%, which is a rare great good in a century. He immediately made these poor people who were helpless and kowtow to death. The farmers are simple and receive a little favor, and they wish they could repay them.

Xu You's subordinates, whether on the Frost and Winter Solstice or on the Zuo Qi He Ru, had hardly served the land much and were not proficient in farming. With the help of Zhou Peng, an old farmer who had been rooting in the land all his life, it was much easier to allocate land and cultivate it.

At first, the Winter Solstice was not at ease, so I supervised the whole process. After following for three or four days, I came back to report to Xu You that I could feel at ease. Zhou Peng wished he could live in the field day and night, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and doing things fairly and justly. It was a good choice to use it to manage the tenants.

There are many water systems around Mingyu Mountain, the land has always been fertile, and most of the fertile fields are cultivated. As long as it is not a random mess, the output of grain, fruits and vegetables is by no means a problem.

No longer worried about farming, Xu You took Zuo Yu and Qingming to put on makeup and traveled around the streets and alleys every day to observe the situation in Qiantang. Xiao Chun finally began to take measures against refugees, but he used force to drive refugees who were not registered in Qiantang in the city. He was allowed to stay outside the city for only three days, with a bowl of porridge a day. If he did not leave after three days, he would have no food and cooking and would be completely unhelpful.

In Xiao Chun's words, the court only gave him the power to guard the one county, and only allocated grain and rice to supply Qiantang. He could not support so many people and could not care about the lives and deaths of too many people. However, because the white thief had hosted too many people from other counties and counties to come to Qiantang to live, now he drove them away, his original residence had long been destroyed, or his family savings had brought Qiantang from his hometown. Even if he didn't starve to death on the road, he would be bullied in various ways.

Some people don’t want to leave, so naturally some people are willing to leave. The fallen leaves return to their roots is a deep-rooted idea for many people. For these people who are willing to leave, Xiao Chun gave each person a kilogram of dry food. Those who are near can still hold on to the living, while those who are far away can only live and die. Those who are unwilling to leave for a while are unsatisfied. Everyone is not satisfied with the troubles inside and outside the city, and there are endless troubles and quarrels. Some refugees even began to join forces in private. What they were planning is self-evident.

Xu You met Xiao Chun again and wanted to give some suggestions to solve the current dilemma, but Xiao Chun talked about him and only pulled Xu You to talk about poetry and papers. When he was involved in government affairs, he immediately looked unhappy and changed the topic.

For the people of a county, they are not afraid of their parents and officials not having any experience. As long as they accept advice and are willing to obey other people's opinions, they will not worsen the situation. The most feared thing is Xiao Chun, who is from a family, is ignorant of the world, but has a high opinion of himself and is stubborn. If this continues, Qiantang may be in chaos again.

In desperation, Xu You sent Qingming to pretend to be a god and scared the people who were trying to make trouble. They did something wrong and thought they had angered the ghosts and gods, so they became much more honest. They probably wouldn't dare to make any more abnormal movements in a short period of time.

But in this way, the symptoms and root causes were not cured. At that moment, Du Sansheng, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly climbed to Mingyu Mountain to visit. Xu You suddenly saw his old friend and was happy. He prepared a banquet and said, "Where did the county magistrate go these days? I thought..."

Du Sansheng was much older, and he could see the white hair on his head. When he talked about his experience, he burst into tears and said, "That night, the white thieves attacked Qiantang. I knew the situation was over, so I arranged for my family to leave the city first, and then went to the county yamen to persuade Lu Ming Mansion to retreat quickly. Unexpectedly, he... He didn't believe that the white thieves were powerful and could not bear the millions of wealth of the yamen. He insisted that I summoned the yamen and wiped out the thieves who attacked the city... I tried to persuade him but I had to flee in a hurry. Later I heard that Lu Ming Mansion was beheaded by the white thieves, and his death was miserable. Alas, it was all my fault. It would be great if I had to force him away!"

Xu You had no sympathy for Lu Hui's death. Such a greedy and powerful rat would die if it was killed, and it would be harmless to the country and the people.

Thinking this in my heart, but not saying this in my mouth. Xu You comforted: "The county magistrate is mourning, Lu Ming's mansion sacrifices his life for the country, and the court praises him for his loyalty and righteousness, which is considered a place to die."

"Yes, after all, I have a good reputation behind me, but I will not let my life down." Du Sansheng is such an old fried dough stick. He has no good feelings for Lu Hui. He can't cry for his death. He just pretends to show Xu You. Seeing that Xu You are unmoved, he wiped away his tears immediately, changed the topic, and said, "After escaping from Qiantang, I did not stop in Yangzhou, but took a boat to Jiangzhou. There was a distant nephew who had resigned to him to cover up and spent the two years of wasted time. Finally, I waited until the imperial court amnesty for the world. I thought about the people and things in Qiantang day and night, and couldn't sleep and couldn't eat. So I was not afraid of the long journey, so I came back with my family. I heard that the husband now lives in Mingyu Mountain. When I remember the ancients, I was so anxious that I didn't come to visit him, so I was so proud of my visit, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

Therefore, there are old fried dough sticks in the family, such as Yibao and Du Sansheng, who are mingling at the bottom of society, do not have great wisdom and insight, nor have great ambitions or desires. However, they are best at changing their minds and have a sensitive sense of smell to detect any movement, thereby avoiding risks early and ensuring their own safety.

So in this storm, Qiantang was killed and injured, and even Lu Cheng Zhan Hong and others lost their lives, but Du Sansheng was able to be unscathed. This is his ability and his life!

"It's good to come back. Many of our old friends have suffered. I feel very relieved to see you alive!"

Du Sansheng's old face turned slightly red and said, "I abandoned my official position and ran for my life. I feel ashamed. If my mother was not still alive, I would really serve the country with death..."

"In times of crisis, it is better to save your life. Besides, the enemy is strong and I am weak. Even if I stay, I will die in vain. It is not the wise man." Xu You said sincerely, "You make a quick decision and leave Qiantang. There is no need to blame yourself for this!"

Du Sansheng was so grateful when he heard Xu You's words. The two of them drank happily and drank. Xu You asked, "What are the plans for the county magistrate to come back this time?"

As soon as Du Sansheng returned to Qiantang, he couldn't wait to go to Mingyu Mountain to reminisce about the past and find a way out. He sighed: "What else can you do? I was forgiven for my sins by chance. I will just wait for death in the future."

Xu You smiled and said, "How can that be done? The county magistrate is in his prime, so he is ashamed to live in such a waste of life?"

"Oh, I want to do something, but... I can't do business, nor do I do anything else. What I have learned in my life is just a matter of judicial arrest and stealing..."

Xu You pondered silently.

Du Sansheng secretly looked at his face and said, "But I also know that the county magistrate must be unable to do it. I want to see if there is any suitable work under the Langjun's disciple... Let's make it clear first, I don't want any money, just have some food to eat. Anyway, I feel happy to do things with Langjun!"

"How can I do it? I can't do it!" Xu You deliberately cheered up his appetite and said, "As far as I know, Xiao Mingfu has not yet appointed a new county magistrate, so I can talk to him." Then he looked embarrassed and said, "It's just..."

"But what?" Du Sanxing asked anxiously.

"But this Xiao Ming Mansion is not an easy boss. If you want to be a county magistrate, you must be prepared to feel angry."

Du Sansheng breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "What am I going to do... Guy, don't worry, I'm not afraid of any difficult Lord to serve..."

"Okay, listen to me carefully..."

A few days later, Xu You visited Xiao Chun with the fine wine that had just been transported from Wuxian. This time, he did not mention government affairs, but only talked about the wind and moon. The more he talked, the more he became more and more speculative.

When the atmosphere was so strong that everything was talking, Xu You pretended to be inadvertently exclaimed: "Hey, the furnishings in this room are all good... string silk carved screen couch, purple painted golden mountain and water patterned crabapple fragrance table, ebony edge rosewood heart table, sea blue stone piano table... Mingfu is a good method, I got so many good things in just a few days!"

Xiao Chun shook his head and smiled, "I'm busy lately, so how can I have the energy to do these things? I thought I would bring some from Jinling when I handle the refugees. But coincidentally, a gentry from Japan... was named after him. Yes, Du Langjun heard that the county's daily life was too difficult, and he was moved and couldn't bear it, so he sent these utensils for emergency use!"

"The Ming Mansion will be able to give back to the people for their daily life and sleep. It shows that the people will not treat good officials who really do practical things unfairly!"

Xiao Chun was so cool that he laughed loudly, and then gave Xu You two glasses of wine. Xu You took a sip and suddenly said, "Du Langjun... Why do I feel a little familiar? Is he called Du Sansheng? Qiantang gentry, the one who is eager to be righteous is this lord!"

"Yes, is it called Du Sansheng, can Weizhi recognize it?"

"It's not just recognized that this person was originally a county magistrate in Qiantang. Later, the white thief broke the city. He killed several people with his own hands, but he was out of thin air and had to leave. This time the court pardoned the world and exempted him from dereliction of duty. He had just returned not long after he came back."

"I see."

"If you want to say that Du Langjun is really a capable official. When he was in Qiantang, no matter how difficult it was, he would not handle it properly. All the neighbors and elders were convinced by him..."

Xu You praised Du Sansheng as a flower, which was a brainwashing Xiao Chun indirectly. Not only did he have a deep impression of Du Sansheng, but he also had a little more subconscious attention. Du Sansheng immediately took advantage of the excuse and came to Xiao Chun to greet him from time to time. He was still good at judging his boss's thoughts, and he flattered Xiao Chun, who was in the forefront of the cottage, so he didn't know the east, west, south and north. He also came up with some ideas and severely cracked down on the goat who had trouble in the city. The effect was immediately effective. After a while, he gained Xiao Chun's trust and re-appointed him as a legal officer. In fact, he exercised the power of a county magistrate and was in charge of public security and robbery.

At the same time, Du Sansheng advised Xiao Chun and offered ten strategies of "reviewing property, relief, adjusting millet, pension, eliminating harm, reorganizing, slowing down the production, building water conservancy, gathering exiles." Xiao Chun adopted them one by one and gave it to Du Sansheng for processing. In less than ten months, Qiantang's appearance was new, and everyone praised Xiao County Magistrate as the "Huang Bastard of the World". It was heard in Xiao Chun's ears. While being proud, he relied on Du Sansheng even more as his confidant.

In fact, Du Sansheng did not have such insights. It was just that Xu You guessed Xiao Chun's thoughts. They didn't say they were on par, at least they were equal in personality. Moreover, Xu You was famous all over the world with You Ye Yiguang's reputation. Xiao Chun's self-esteem made him unwilling to accept Xu You's advice easily. Wouldn't that make him look a little shorter?

From this point of view alone, Xiao Chun's pattern and mind are too far behind Gu Yun.

Xu You settled down and passed on the advice to Xiao Chun through Du Sansheng, and then secretly helped Du Sansheng implement it one by one, finally solving the imminent problem in Qiantang. Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief and plan for the future.

It was also at this time that Xu You received news from Jinling that Yuan Qingqi had an unknown strange disease and died three days ago, on October 15th, during the Qingyuan Festival.
