Chapter 237 A Dream That Turns into Reality

Until he walked back to his house, Li Nong could not help but tremble in his hands. Since he heard Zou Lizheng's words on the side of the slope, his head was as confused as he had not really woken up yet, so he even had to bring back the farm tools he brought when he was uphill in the morning. This was simply unimaginable for Li Nong, at least for the first time in these twenty years.

Li Nong is a native of the village, and the husband married the same village. He has never left the village fifty miles away in his life. In his eyes, Li Zheng, who has the authority to arrange corvee labor, is already an amazing person. The county magistrate who lives in the city's big yamen...

Such a big man who only exists in the legend for him actually sent someone to find him? And he "invited" him to discuss things?

It's so evil. Apart from the meridians that dig food in the fields, what else does this honest Li Nong know? But... the county magistrate can't ask him to discuss farming, right? When such an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, Zou Lizheng, whose eyes were full of confusion, couldn't help but curl his lips and smile. Even he himself thought that this sudden idea was too ridiculous. How could it be possible? Although the past officials would talk about the fundamentals of the country of Grounds and Sects, who didn't know that this was fooling people. What officials really valued was the tax on piles of grain and fabrics. Who had actually been to the land? Not to mention that he sent someone from the county to invite an old mud-legged man who could not make a word to discuss the matter.

Although he was very curious, Zou Lizheng only tried it and did not ask the tolerance more. One reason was that he had never seen this tolerance with an extremely young face, and more importantly, he obviously realized that this tolerance was different from what he had seen before.

He came over the wind and cold all the way, but he didn't even eat a pot of hot wine, so he rushed to do business. Old Zou Ganli has been there for so many years, and he has never seen such a man. In the past, when Lao Zhao and the others came down, they would be tired after getting off the horse, and they would shout loudly when they arranged the food. They had to eat and drink enough and then hang out with the old widow in the neighborhood. They would think of the errand work after they were comfortable with the old widow in the neighborhood. They were just talking. In fact, the damn old Zhao didn't even move a finger. When he left, he had to take out some "hard money" before he was willing to go back to the city.

Compared with those who are old Zhao, the young tolerance in front of him is simply a model of a good official, but the more such a person is, the harder it is to deal with him. However, although it is difficult to ask, Zou Lizheng, who has become a member of the oil for decades, still vaguely guessed something. The appearance of this small tolerance, which is completely different from the past, should not be just a coincidence, but 80% of them are involved with the new county magistrate.

Zou Lizheng has different identities, so there are naturally more sources of information. It is hard to say anything else, but he always knows such a big mess in the city. The Xin County Magistrate led the cavalry of Tiancheng Army to quickly quell the rebellion, and then cut more than 100 heads on the north city tower.

That's more than a hundred heads, and they can occupy half of the courtyard when they are tied up. Will those who can do such things be good? If the county magistrate has replaced such a county magistrate, it is not surprising that the people who come down are a bit strange. Once the emperor is still a minister, the new county magistrate is so disturbing, so there is no need to be a little new atmosphere?

Thinking of this, although Zou Lizheng was still urging Li Nong to clean up as soon as possible, he was thinking about it in his heart. It was good to change to a county magistrate who could stand up, but his job here... This is really a fat person... It's the same sentence. Once the emperor is in the first place, the new county magistrate should think about the inner side of them. Can the seats here still be seated?

They thought a lot about it. When Li Nong packed up his things and left, Zou Lizheng also made up his mind - he had to go to the county town as soon as possible to find out the details. If the Xin County Magistrate is a good money, he would give it away and stuff it up. If the Xin County Magistrate is dedicated to his future and achievements, then he would have no other thoughts and done his best. In short, he should not lose the good seat here.

He changed into the best clothes and wiping the pure white-fried hard cakes and dried food from the kang on his shoulder. He was confused and panic. Li Nong climbed onto a big green mule that Zou Lizheng found and went on the road.

The drought that he saw along the way made Li Nong feel heavier. It turned out that it was not just near their village, but also that there were severe droughts in such a large place. "The King of Hell is going to collect people." He muttered this in a low voice, and Li Nong could no longer bear to look at the land where the drought was cracked on both sides.

The only thing that made Li Nong relax and even feel a little uneasy was the attitude of the tolerance of his peers. This tolerance was so good to him that Li Nong always felt that he was still a tolerance. How could the people who eat public food be so nice to him? Not only did he always speak with a good attitude, but he didn't even ask him to spend half a penny on the way to eat, and he still had a good meal! It's been more than a day, and he had a lot of pure white flour cakes in his bag.

People from the government came to him and even asked him not to spend a piece of food and rest. There were so many people in the village who talked about ancient times. Who said such a good thing? Not to mention it, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

After more walkways together, Li Nong, who gradually became familiar with the tolerance, also asked about this. The tolerance only said that this was explained by Lord Tang himself. You are all guests of the county master, so you cannot be negligent!

Only then did Li Nong realize that the county master who "invites" him was the same surname as the Guochao. When he saw the consignor, his eyes were lit when he talked about the county magistrate, Mr. Tang. He naturally followed the situation and asked about the county master again. It happened that this consignor had heard that Tang Cheng had been promoted to the church for the first time and experienced the subsequent turmoil. This was amazing. Because of his question, the consignor was so dark that the sky and the earth were dark, and the sun and the moon were gone. Li Nong, who was honest, was stunned and confused.

As they were talking, they met other tolerances and farmers. When they were about to arrive in Liuguan Village, the original two had already grown to a team of nearly twenty people. There were not only tolerances, but also several carpenters in the team. If you want to talk about the topic of this team when they were on the road, in addition to the usual sighs and droughts when they met, what remains unchanged was the discussion of the new county magistrate.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day after Li Nong left home, their special team arrived outside Liuguan Village.

The small village, which was still deserted when Tang Cheng came that day, is now much lively. Although the houses in the village have not increased, many new houses have been set up in the plain valley outside the village. These houses are all made of urgent problems. They choose a flat terrain to raft an arc-shaped earth wall that is as tall as chest. They cut off the firewood on the mountain to dry the moisture and then set up a tent for Tiancheng marching against the earth wall. In a short time, the problem of residence was solved.

As soon as Li Nong and his party walked to the camp, the head of the front of the man suddenly spoke loudly: "It's an adult, the county master has come out."

The people in the team were looking around in a mess, and the call from the tolerance immediately attracted their eyes. Li Nong, who was riding on the mule, opened his eyes wide and saw a man in an official walk out of the simple camp not far ahead.

"That's the county magistrate?" Although he had seen Tang Cheng's glorious official uniform with his own eyes and the posture of the several tollers behind him, Li Nong still couldn't believe that this Junxiangren who walked with a smile on his face would be the county magistrate.

This is too young! Why does such a young person have such great ability to surrender Xi Manzi, and even make these officials unable to help but speak loudly when they talk about it?

The past two days, I have been talking about the county magistrate on the road, and I am also looking forward to seeing the county magistrate who invited them. But when I saw me, maybe everyone was as surprised as Li Nong. The farmers and carpenters in the entire team were quiet.

"The father-in-law has worked hard all the way, but fortunately there is no important crop work in the field at this time, so don't worry too much about the family." Until Tang Cheng put both hands on Li Nong's arms and wanted to help him down, Li Nong was still a little stunned and didn't know what to say or what to do. "Although this tent looks simple and warm, the charcoal and hot water inside are prepared early. Everyone washes the dust and eats a few hot wine to relieve the exhaustion."

Really feeling the power of Tang Cheng's power, Li Nong suddenly woke up. Before Tang Cheng could use his strength, he slipped his left leg and slipped off the mule's back. His movements were not as fast as a person over fifty years old. Before the man had just gotten off, Li Nong had already bowed to the ground, and learned what the man had taught two days ago, "The grass-roots talked to the county magistrate."

Li Nong's actions also awakened the other farmers and carpenters. They all came out of the mules and horses with their agility that was not consistent with their age and fell to the ground to pay tribute.

"Get up, get up, you are the guests invited by the official, there is no need to do this." Tang Cheng helped Li Nong up with his hands, and waved his hands to the others with a smile. Seeing that they were still a little restrained and did not dare to get up, he turned his head and said, "What are you doing while standing there? Why don't you help the guests get up?" The tollers immediately stepped forward and helped the farmers and carpenters up when they heard this.

After helping Li Nong up, Tang Cheng didn't let go, so he held his arm and led the head to the big tent in front of him. Seeing this, the farmers and carpenters following behind praised the county magistrate, and couldn't help but envy Li Nong for having encountered the great fortune and being able to get the support of the county magistrate himself. How great is this blessing? But they didn't know the discomfort caused by this "blessing" to Li Nong. His blood was pouring out, his mind was dizzy, and his feet were floating so hard that he seemed to not even be able to walk. The short distance of twenty or thirty steps made him sweat solidly on his vest, which was even more tiring than doing a while of farm work.

The county magistrate didn't say nonsense. The big tent was ready. The hot silver charcoal fire and the boiling water were pouring out. The cold came all the way, and the boiling water was washed and then sat still and roasted the fire. The feeling was so comfortable.

After Li Nong and others finished washing and resting, the county magistrate, who had changed into casual clothes, came in with other farmers and carpenters who had arrived early. As he clapped his hands, a basin of chicken and mutton was brought in like a runny water. The hot wine sifted into the large bowl. Tang Cheng personally participated in the welcoming banquet, which was no less warm than the temperature in the tent.

At the welcoming banquet, Li Nong and others suddenly discovered that the county magistrate who had read a lot of books actually knew the work in the field, planting what seasons, and how to clean up the field to keep water and fertilizer more... Every thing is not an amateur at all.

Perhaps because Tang Cheng changed his official clothes, or because he picked up the topics that resonated with the farmers the most. Under the stimulation of wine, Li Nong and others slowly relaxed their restraints and began to speak with the courage to speak. Until the end of the reception banquet was about to end, the atmosphere in the tent had reached its climax.

During this period, some farmers asked the county magistrate why they came to them by drinking, but Tang Cheng did not answer directly, just laughing and said that everyone would know after seeing it with their own eyes.

After the reception banquet, Li Nong and others were placed in different tabernacles to rest. Although they were already drunk and had heavy eyes, their excitement made them unwilling to sleep.

The experiences of the past two days, especially tonight, are like dreams! Who would have thought that the new county magistrate who killed Xi people like cutting melons is so young, and is so gentle to them. The village households have a poor population. After they have learned to praise people on weekdays, they often use their tsk to express their indescribable praise. For a moment, the sound of tsk in the entire tent was endless.

Then everyone naturally began to guess the intention of the county magistrate invited them. After thinking about it, they had no idea. Finally, Li Nong summed up everyone's thoughts with a ruthless word, "We have no other skills, just put in a lot of strength. As long as the county magistrate doesn't bother to use it, we will do our best to do it for him."

I had a good sleep. The next morning I woke up and ate two steamed buns with thick mutton soup. Li Nong and others felt the strength on their bodies coming out, and they wished that the county magistrate would assign a job immediately, and everyone would blow their arms around and fuck him up.

Unexpectedly, after dinner, the county magistrate didn't make any noise. Everyone dared not ask, so they could only sit in the tent while roasting silver charcoal fire. It was not until more than an hour later that they heard a burst of horse hooves outside. A farmer came to the door to look and saw a burly middle-aged man with more than a dozen guards into the camp.

Not long after, a man came to the legend and said that the county magistrate would like to invite you.

The county magistrate and the middle-aged soldier who had just arrived were already standing outside. After Li Nong and the others walked out of the tent, Tang Cheng didn't say much, smiled at everyone and walked out of the camp in the opposite direction.

The two of them were in front, Li Nong and others followed behind. After about three incense sticks, a sudden Shangener appeared in front of him. The county magistrate who was walking in the front stopped and stopped. The military man he was with suddenly stopped moving. Seeing his stiff posture, he seemed to be shocked by something.

Seeing this, Li Nong and others who were holding back all the way became even more confused. They followed them around in three steps at the same time. Then, the entire team suddenly stopped like a military man. So many people gathered together but there was no sound at all. Everyone just stared at the hillside that was blocked by Shangener just now. After a while, the heavy breathing suddenly became louder.

This small hill that is blocked is no different from most hillsides in Longmen County. The only difference is that the land on this slope is not the kind that farmers have been used to for thousands of years and have long been considered a natural run. It is also a hillside, but what appears on this hillside is... flat ground!

Rocks form dams. After the soil is filled in the dam, it becomes a half-moon-shaped field. Such half-moon-shaped fields are built up from the bottom of the slope, connected up and down, and the fields are connected, just like steps, clearly covering the entire hillside, so there are the continuous flat fields that everyone sees.

"This terrace can not only protect soil and water, but also moisture and fertilizer. If you build ponds or build a high-rotating truck to bring water up the mountain, you will not even be afraid of drought." After pointing out the benefits of terraces to Jia Duwei beside you, Tang Cheng turned around and asked with a smile: "Is Jia Duke still satisfied with such a land?"

Before Jia Zixing could answer, a man suddenly rushed out of the team behind them and ran towards the first terrace not far ahead. When Tang Cheng looked carefully, he was the old farmer he personally helped down from the mule last evening.

Li Nong ran hard, and at this moment, there was only the flat fields on this slope in his mind. However, the flat fields of this rule could only be seen in his dreams before, but now they are actually appearing in front of him.
