'Successfully practice the Huo family's marksmanship once, and gain proficiency +1. '

Shen Ling, who was engrossed, didn't hear Huo Lao's praise, but was just practicing hard.

In the past two months, due to too many things and less time for cultivation, Shen Ling hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.

Cultivation is a very happy thing.

Especially when watching the proficiency rise little by little, this kind of happiness will be doubled.

After a while, Shen Ling slowly put away the wooden stick and opened his eyes.

The Huo family's marksmanship has officially entered the first level.

at this time.

Huo Lao was correcting other young and strong postures, his tone was a little irritable, and his voice was a little louder.

Shen Ling walked out of the South Square slowly.

Don't bother those young adults who are practicing.

actually.

Shen Ling also thought about riding a horse, galloping recklessly between the fields and grasslands, feeling the wind passing by, feeling the unbridled freedom.

However, this thing, which was easy to do, changed after Huniu's arrival.

He can only ride a tiger now.

Can't ride a horse.

After walking on the street for a while, Shen Ling returned to his house.

Before he could have a mouthful of hot food, Da Zhuang hurried over: "Master, something happened, the village head is sick."

sick!

Shen Ling's eyes froze, and a bad premonition instantly emerged.

"Go and see."

He hurried out of the yard, and soon came to the residence of the old village chief.

However, when he entered the house.

The old village chief has lost his temper.

Looking at the old village head's body, Shen Ling was silent for a while: "In three days, I will be buried."

...

The old village head left.

The post of village head was thus vacated.

All of a sudden, things big and small in the village got into some trouble.

Without the coordination and decision-making of the village chief, some things cannot be decided.

"Mr. Yang."

In the afternoon, Shen Ling visited the academy in the village.

Yang Jian, who was cleaning the courtyard, saw Shen Ling, and immediately said, "Mr. Shen, come here when you have time, please come in quickly."

Shen Ling walked into the academy, looked at Yang Jian and said in a deep voice, "I'm here this time because I want to discuss something with Mr. Yang."

Yang Jian said softly, "Say it."

Shen Ling took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I hope Mr. Yang can take over the post of village chief in Dian Village."

For Shen Ling, this matter was actually a bit difficult to handle.

After all, Yang Jian's family was entrusted by Miss Qin to resettle them, and they did not belong to the villagers.

In addition, Yang Jian was a high-ranking Chongzhou prefect not long ago, and now he wants Yang Jian to be a village chief, which is a bit difficult in theory.

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, I am tired of being an official. Now I teach and clean the academy every day. I feel more leisurely than when I was an official."

Shen Ling's expression didn't change.

When he came, he was already prepared to be rejected, but he was still a little disappointed.

Today's tenant farms are too large, with not just a few hundred people, but 20,000 people.

He needs a talent who can manage 20,000 people, at least able to make decisions on small things that happen in the village. Yang Jian is a good candidate.

However, just when Shen Ling was about to give up, things took a turn for the better.

Yang Jian was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "However, Mr. Shen is very kind to my Yang family. How about this, I will temporarily take the post of village chief. After Mr. Shen finds a suitable candidate, the old man will let him go. come out."

Shen Ling nodded quickly, and said softly: "Then thank you Mr. Yang.

"

Yang Jian's answer made Shen Ling a little happy.

He said happily: "Then I will make arrangements now, and you will take over the management of the village from tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ling turned around and left in a hurry.

After Shen Ling left, a pretty woman poked her head quietly behind the academy.

The woman walked to Yang Jian's side and said softly, "Father, didn't you say that you didn't want to be an official anymore? Why did you agree to Mr. Shen to take over as the village chief?"

Yang Jian shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I'm just helping Mr. Shen."

"help?"

Yang Yun was full of doubts.

Yang Jian nodded: "Shen Ling has his own ideas. But he needs to control the overall situation, so naturally he can't focus on the management of the village. That's why he came here after the death of the old village chief. .”

...

The next day, early morning.

Shen Ling sat in his own home, looked at Yang Jian in front of him, and said softly: "The current population in the tenant village is a bit bloated, and the surrounding fields cannot meet the labor needs of these people. I have been thinking about how to make a reasonable change. Village, I suddenly thought of a way yesterday, and I want to ask Mr. Yang to help me as a staff officer."

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and smiled: "Please tell me, Mr. Shen."

Shen Ling took out a piece of paper and put it on the table: "This is the location of the tenant village, with a population of more than 20,000. Even if it is rebuilt, the village will not be able to accommodate more people, and even the daily food consumption , is a burden for us.”

"So, I want to separate part of the population of the tenant village and build several large villages around the tenant village to ease the population pressure on the tenant village."

Yang Jian looked at the mark on the paper, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

Shen Ling continued: "Currently, there are more than 1,000 Pudao teams in Dian Village, and there are also 1,000 light cavalry who are undergoing training. The combat readiness is not sufficient at present, but if every village has a Pudao team stationed, plus Shangyiqian Qingqi can support at any time, and I think there is no problem with safety."

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and nodded: "Mr. Shen's fantastic idea really impresses the old man. It seems that the old man is a better village chief than he imagined."

"Where is it?" Shen Ling shook his head, "I just absorbed the experience of my predecessors and then figured it out."

Shen Ling didn't dare to take credit for Yang Jian's praise, let alone be proud.

Yang Jian shook his head: "It's good to be humble, but Mr. Shen doesn't have to be so self-effacing."

Shen Ling smiled: "Mr. Yang thinks my proposal is feasible?"

"It's feasible!" Yang Jian nodded, and then said softly, "However, I think it can be added."

Shen Ling asked: "Mr. Yang, please enlighten me!"

Yang Jian drew a circle around each of the five points predicted by Shen Ling: "Master Shen can organize the people to open up wasteland in this part of the area. As long as the land is successfully opened up, the problem of land shortage can be solved."

Shen Ling thought about it.

He had read a lot of books, and suddenly remembered the laws of Dagan. For land reclamation, he only needed to obtain the consent of the local county magistrate.

Since there was no county magistrate in Qihua City before, land reclamation would naturally not be allowed.

But now, Master Shen is the county magistrate.

This part is easy to solve.

"Okay! Let's do it like this." Shen Ling nodded, "Mr. Yang is worthy of being Mr. Yang!"

Yang Jian smiled: "Where is it, Mr. Shen is a great talent!"
