Chapter 1954

Wang Xu's family is perfect. His wife gave birth to a son and a daughter. All the children are clever and progressive.

However, as an official in Huanxian County, there is basically no oil and water to catch, so his family's life can only be said to be ordinary.

After dinner, Wang continued to ask his son's homework, and then went to the study.

As a county magistrate, he can know a lot of semi confidential information, so he learned that Shaanxi will continue to reduce the people's decision in the future.

Without the common people, even being a prefect in Shaanxi can't compare with a nine grade official in the capital.

So he wants to leave Huanxian County, even if he wants to be a county magistrate along the coast.

But the relationship entrusted one after another. After two years, he was still in Huanxian county and looked at these people every day.

If Fan Ying wants to force Jiao Qiren away, Wang Xu is reluctant, but Fan Ying's words make him change his mind.

——Sir, if we want to make friends with those people, we have to do it first!

Wang Xu knew what that meant. He had to make a name for it first, and then he could reward it.

So he acquiesced!

Today, Fan Ying said that Jiao Qiren had been driven away. He only felt relaxed for a while.

Under the light, he looked at a travel diary, which contained the experience and local customs from Jinling to Jiaozhi. It was very wonderful.

The so-called scholar knows the world's affairs without going out, mostly through these books.

Seeing that Jiaozhi was depicted in the book as the little Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xu couldn't help fretting in his heart.

Want a promotion? Go toe to toe.

After working there for a few years, as long as you don't make mistakes, you have a great chance to be promoted and return to the Central Plains.

Hey!

Wang Xu shook his head and said, "Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi, if you go, what about the children at home?"? The culture and education in those places are not at ease.

He closed his book and prepared to write an article.

"Master..."

Wang Xu suddenly lost the spirit of writing an article. He got up impatiently and said, "but something?"

The old servant outside the door said, "someone came into the city just now. The gatekeeper said it was a big story, and those people went straight to Wanjia inn. It is said that they went to find Jiao qieren."

Boom!

When the old servant saw Wang Xu throw the book away, he knew there was trouble.

"Call someone right away."

Wang Xu took a deep breath, prayed secretly, and then went to explain his wife and children.

Three yamen servants were called temporarily. When they saw Wang Xu with a cold face, no one dared to complain.

All the way to the inn, he called to open the door. When the shopkeeper saw that it was Wang Xu, he quickly shouted injustice and said that there was absolutely no dirt in his shop.

Wang continued to close his eyes. On the way, a yamen who got his hint asked, "did those people come to you just now?"

"Yes, they went to Lord Jiao's room."

To do business, you must be good at observing the limelight. The shopkeeper saw that Fang Xing and others were not good looking, and he was not cautious about coming to other places, so he didn't dare to say more.

The Yamen servant wanted to get angry, but Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "I just heard the news that Jiao Qiren ran away in anger. I came after him. Take me up."

The shopkeeper took a candle and led Wang Xu to the second floor. He deliberately put his feet on the heavy. But who Wang Xu was, he noticed his intentions at once.

But he didn't have the heart to be angry, and he didn't have the heart to think about how to settle accounts after autumn.

If the shopkeeper does this, it means that the visitor is not simple.

Since the gatekeeper refused to report the specific identity of the person, Wang Xu felt bad.

As soon as the party turned around, someone in the middle of the aisle drank and asked, "who? Stop!"

Wang Xu didn't wait for the shopkeeper to speak, so he stepped forward and arched his hands and said, "my lower official, Wang Xu, please see the noble man."

Xin Laoqi didn't say anything. Jiao Qiren almost committed suicide. He didn't have a good impression on the officials of Huan County.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Fang woke up and said, "I don't see any guests today!"

If you dare to refuse yourself, then the people inside say less about the five grades of real power. But civil servants will not refuse, but also take the initiative to verify their identity, so that they can leave no handle.

Then the identity of the man inside is almost ready to come out.

……

Early the next morning, Wang Xu, who had not slept all night, came to the inn again. On the way, they also met the pale bookkeeper Fan Ying. They asked the shopkeeper uneasily, but were told that the group had left the city.

Wang Xu and Fan Ying catch up with the gate. The sergeant guarding the gate tells them that Jiao qieren has gone to Xuyuan with those people.

……

This was Fang Xing's first time to see the terrain of Huan County. Along the way, he asked Jiao qieren. When he arrived at the village in Xuyuan, the villagers made him feel helpless.

"Lord Jiao is here again?"

"Cry, cry!"

Several children were laughing on the side. Fang woke up to look at the village and found no sign of cooking smoke. He asked, "don't you have breakfast here?"

Jiao qieren arched his hands at the old man coming and said, "mountain leader, potatoes are also planted here. They are cooked the first night. The whole family can eat this the next day."

At this time, a woman came with a basket, took out some potatoes and said with a smile, "Lord Jiao still brought someone today. I didn't eat breakfast. Come on, one by one."

Jiao qieren quickly refused, "no, no, we've all eaten in the city."

"I'll try it."

Fang woke up but took one, then took a bite and said, "it's very waxy. If you eat it later, you'd better heat it up, otherwise the babies' intestines and stomach are tender and can't stand it!"

The woman was surprised and said, "adults still know this? But they are used to it. Well, we have to work in the field. Lord Jiao then told them."

Jiao Qiren said awkwardly, "sister Shui, this is... This is my teacher."

The old man was looking at Fang Xing's several people on the side. When he heard the speech, he bowed his hands and said, "here comes the noble man. Go and beat some eggs and get some hot soup. Remember to put more oil..."

A woman lingered to the cave. It was obvious that she was reluctant to give up.

Fang Xing said, "I've eaten it all. Does the old uncle have a stool?"

When everyone sat down, Fang woke up and started talking with the old man. He saw and heard so much that he soon led all the idle people in the village.

"... Shaanxi will eventually remove more than half of the people, and it will continue to move in the future."

"Why?"

The old man felt that Fang Xing's words seemed to have authority, which was a little empty.

Fang Xing pointed around and said, "this was originally a good place, but farming began long ago. Over the years, these lands are overwhelmed. Once you encounter a disaster, don't doubt it. There must be a disaster. How can you live then?"

The old man twisted his hands together and said in embarrassment, "Sir, we... Can still live now!"

Fang Xing felt a little sad. He sincerely said, "can we have a little foresight? Even for future generations, can we... Find a good way for future generations."

The old man just didn't speak, lowered his head and rubbed his feet against the ground.

Fang Xing nodded to Jiao qieren, confirmed that he had indeed been wronged, and then said: "the DPRK and China are already considering forced immigration. Originally, many places had to plant trees to make the green here more."

The old man immediately looked up and said, "can't we? Our ancestors are living here. Why do we want to immigrate?"

"Because immigrants can live better and their children will not starve to death!"

Recalling the famine in Shaanxi at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Xing felt that forced immigration was not necessarily a bad thing.

"Do you know all the allusions of exchanging children for food? It's to exchange their children for food."

The old man nodded and said, "but now there are potatoes. It's easy to feed and produce more."

"As soon as the drought comes, what can live?"

Fang woke up just to understand these people's thoughts, so he got up and prepared to go back.

"Shanchang, the county magistrate and the master book are coming."
