Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 183 Corporal Lixian (Additional update 2 for the reward for book friend "Snowflake")

Zhao Hanzhang said: "You will take people to Shangcai tomorrow to invite him over. He is now the chief registrar of Xiping County. Many things need to be discussed with him."

In fact, she wanted to get some advice from him. Now Zhao Hanzhang has a plan. She is also very busy every day and needs to deal with many things, but she always feels that something is missing.

Fu Tinghan is equally busy. They have tried their best to use the people below, but they still feel that the efficiency is different from what they expected.

Although Song Zhi and Geng Rong both said that they were very efficient, they still had a sense of urgency, because counting the time, winter was coming soon. Once the cold wave came down and the ground froze, they would not be able to plant.

But now, they are short of everything. Although they have asked Ji Yuan to buy some, and even asked Zhao Ming to come forward and buy some with the tribesmen in Wubao, the shortfall is still huge.

Zhao Hanzhang poked at the wheat rice in the bowl and said: "My goal is that one day the people under my rule will be able to afford steamed buns and rice, and no longer eat bean rice and wheat rice."

Maifan, rice cooked with shelled wheat.

It is true that some people really don't know that wheat can be shelled and ground into flour to make more delicious things, but that's only true in extremely remote places.

More people know about it.

But why don't they do it and still eat wheat rice?

Of course it's because there's not enough food, so we have to eat sparingly.

Oh, there is another reason, because of laziness and manpower issues.

Wheat is shelled and ground into flour. Wheat husks can also be ground into powder and mixed with flour to make steamed buns. Although the taste is not very good, it is better than wheat rice.

But grinding it into powder requires a lot of manpower and time. When survival resources require a lot of time to fight for, not many people are interested in doing this kind of thing.

After all, it would be nice to eat some.

But a good diet can not only make people feel happy, but also inspire people's fighting spirit. Zhao Hanzhang took another bite of wheat rice and immediately decided, "I want to build a mill!"

Fu Tinghan immediately agreed, "I agree with this."

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but feel happy and handed the bowl over, "Give me some?"

Fu Tinghan moved away, "No, I can eat."

The next day, Qiu Wu and his men picked up Cheng Bo and Chang Ning's group on the way.

Qiu Wu said happily: "The girl sent her subordinates to pick up Mr. Chang."

Chang Ning felt that Zhao Hanzhang valued her. Even though he knew that she had bad intentions, oh, no, she wanted something, she still couldn't help but be moved.

This is the change brought about by the change of mentality. Sure enough, once the other party becomes his master and a companion, he becomes a corporal with bad intentions.

Chang Ning was grateful for Zhao Hanzhang's regard and speeded up on the road.

Before he even got close to Xiping County, he noticed the difference.

There were many young men working in the fields on both sides of the road. He stopped and took a look and found that there were three or five young men in each field, but there was not a woman or child nearby.

In an ordinary farm family, it is not just the men who work in the fields, but the whole family, young and old, who can walk freely will go to work in the fields.

Chang Ning pointed and asked, "Are those villagers?"

Qiu Wu took one look and said, "No, he was a refugee taken in by the girl, and he is now a long-term worker."

"Then these places..."

"It's all ownerless wasteland," Qiu Wu said, "The lady asked them to open it up and plant wheat this year."

Chang Ning silently noted that the closer he got to the county town, the more lively it became. Women, old people and children he was familiar with gradually appeared in the fields on both sides. On the contrary, there were fewer young adults in the fields where these people worked.

Chang Ning guessed it without asking. He sighed and asked, "Were there heavy casualties in the battle to defend the city in Xiping County?"

Qiu Wu nodded, "Yes."

Because it is the busy time of farming, the outside of the city is very lively, while the city is a little deserted, but you can still feel the vitality of Xiping County.

Although the white flags and linen on both sides of the road are still hanging, the sadness caused by the war can no longer be felt, and everyone who walks by still has a slight smile on his face.

Chang Ning didn't expect Zhao Hanzhang to do so well. How long had it been since Xiping fell to the city? She actually made the people get out of their sorrow.

Chang Ning rode on his horse and looked all the way. Soldiers had already gone to the county government in advance to report.

Zhao Hanzhang summoned all the officials working in the county government to go out to greet him.

Chang Ning had just arrived at the gate of the county government office. Before he could get off his horse, Zhao Hanzhang came up quickly with a look of joy on his face, "Mr. Chang, you are finally here."

Chang Ning was flattered and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Young lady is now embarrassing me. I don't dare act like a girl and give such a big gift."

"Sir, I have worked so hard to invite you. No matter how great the gift is, I can bear it," Zhao Hanzhang pulled him and introduced him to everyone, "This is our new chief registrar of Xiping County, Chang Ning, chief registrar Chang."

Geng Rong and others quickly bowed and saluted, "Mr. Chang."

Chang Ning was busy bowing in return. When he looked up, he saw a woman standing in the second row. He paused and returned to normal.

Even the master is a girl, so why is it strange that there is a female official in the county government?

Zhao Hanzhang introduced them, "This is the clerk whom I have met, Mr. Fu Dalang. Although he does not serve in the county government, Hanzhang relies on him for many things. He is my right and left arm."

Chang Ning understood that Fu Tinghan was a staff member, and he could just treat him as the county magistrate from now on.

However, the master's attitude changed too quickly, and he was called the master immediately.

Zhao Hanzhang first introduced Song Zhi, "Zhao County Magistrate is busy with work and is not in the county office most of the time. Therefore, Fu Dalangjun and I are in charge of the county magistrate's office. Trivial matters will be left to Song Zhi to handle. From now on, Master Chang will have If you need to communicate with the county magistrate, go to him first."

Chang Ning understood that Song Zhi was the clerk, but it seemed that he had not yet decided.

Zhao Hanzhang then introduced Geng Rong, "This is the document I am looking for for Chief Registrar Chang. Geng Rong, because his father is the former Registrar, he is quite familiar with Xiping County. In the future, Chief Registrar Chang will ask him if he has any questions."

Then he said to Geng Rong: "Please assist Chief Chang."

Geng Rong responded respectfully, "Yes."

Then he introduced Chen Siniang, "This is Chen Siniang. She is also a householder now. Because of the war, many orphans and widowed children in Xiping County were homeless, so I opened a Yushantang in the county to adopt them. Now the Yushantang is She’s in charge.”

Chen Siniang stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

Chang Ning returned the gift and said: "Yushantang costs a lot of money, and the account books must be clear and clear, so that it can last long."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, it happens that she is not only kind-hearted and attentive, she is also well-educated and can make account books, so I left this matter to her. Mr. Chang will also pay more attention to Yushan Hall in the future, and we will pay more attention to those orphans." Now that you have started to raise it, you must raise it well.”

Chang Ning agreed.

Then there are the several government officials in the county government office. "There are still some people who are busy outside and are not in the county government office at this time. I will let Master Chang see them when they come back."

Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take Mr. inside to see your public apartment."

Good night
