Wei and Jin cooks

Everyone competed with each other to hoe the ground. Some people couldn't grab the tools and couldn't wait, so they rolled up their sleeves and started pulling weeds directly.

Zhao Hanzhang looked on happily and nodded with approval, "Yes, yes, spread the word and say that this land is a blessed land. Before February 2, anyone who comes to this land to hoe can get blessings from the gods." , this year the weather will be smooth and the food harvest will be bumper."

Fan Ying didn't even think about the reasons and consequences, and just said "yes" loudly.

The officials on the side were confused and didn't know why they bothered to convey such words.

Fu Tinghan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang. This marketing method is very similar to the private promotion of some modern temples and Taoist temples.

Seeing him looking over, Zhao Hanzhang winked at him, how wonderful, killing three birds with one stone, she saved the money of hiring people to open up wasteland; the refugees in the Yushan Hall did not have to work so hard; the people who came here had peace of mind. If you have sustenance, you will be happier.

Fu Tinghan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

The rumors released by Zhao Hanzhang were very useful. In fact, she didn't need to publicize them. Fan Ying just sent people out to make a start. People who participated in the ceremony today started to spread the word spontaneously.

The rumors spread in all directions as if riding on the wind, and people from the next county came specially with hoes just to pick up a hoe near Yushan Hall.

Of course, having come all the way, you can’t really just hoe once. Since it’s to pray for blessings, naturally the more you hoe, the more convinced you will be. It’s best to hoe the ground that others have never hoeed before, and the more you will get. Blessings are the strongest.

So around the Yushan Hall, the surrounding wasteland and wild land were hoeed, and even the land with owners in the distance was hoeed until the end of February 2.

On February 2, the dragon raised its head, and it started to rain the next day. After the rain, the spring breeze blew, and the next day, thin green grass appeared on the hoeed ground.

Zhao Hanzhang stood at the edge of the field, squatted down, grabbed a piece of soil, and crushed it finely. Looking at the scattered gray soil, she breathed a sigh of relief, "The soil quality is not bad. It has been deserted for several years, so it is not too bad. "

Fu Tinghan said: "It will be fine if I raise it for two years."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "I'm afraid we don't have time to raise them. It looks like the weather has been going well so far this year, but I don't know what will happen next."

Farming depends on the sky. Not to mention now, even more than a thousand years from now, there will be a limit to what humans can do in the face of natural disasters.

Small disasters can be overcome through means, but once a large-scale disaster occurs, you can only endure it.

When the junior official in charge of Yushan Hall learned that Zhao Hanzhang was here, he quickly ran over with his robe in hand, panting and saluting, "I didn't know that the envoy was coming, but I was far away to welcome you..."

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and asked: "How is Yushan Hall? They have been living there for a few days, but are they still getting used to it?"

"Following the envoy's instructions, we have recently been sorting out the teaching courtyards, and re-adjusted the rooms in each courtyard according to some problems that arose. Although there are some minor problems, everyone is getting along in harmony."

This junior official is called Ping Xun, who was recruited from a school by Zhao Hanzhang. He has participated in banquets many times. Unfortunately, he comes from a humble noble family and has average talents, so he has always been rejected.

After being unsuccessful, Fu Tinghan saw his name on it many times when he looked at the official assessment materials over the years. The person who wrote the information was very narrow-minded and had the intention of making fun of others. It was included in the materials for each banquet. Pingxun failed again.

After seeing it many times, Fu Tinghan couldn't help but talk about it with Zhao Hanzhang, and said: "In this era, there are people who continue to participate in banquets, but there are very few who participate in the same place. They love reputation. I feel that if I don’t stay here, I have my own reasons to stay. The reason why he keeps participating in the same place is either he is poor and has no money to try other places, or he is stubborn and stubborn enough to withstand the ridicule of others.”

"No matter what kind of person he is, this person is very ambitious," Fu Tinghan said: "Any ambitious person can be used as long as he has decent talent and virtue."

Zhao Hanzhang thought so too.

Don’t people in this era have ambitions?

There are some, and their ambitions are not small, but they are reserved. Even if they are ambitious, they still pretend to be idle clouds and wild cranes. While occupying the position, they also say that they do not miss power and do not care about these mundane things.

There are not many people as ambitious and honest as Ping Xun. Zhao Hanzhang likes to use such people because they will listen to her for their own ambitions and actively complete what she tells them to do.

So Zhao Hanzhang went to recruit him out of curiosity.

Pingxun is teaching in Luyang County to earn some family income while waiting for the special banquet next year. He is also considered a celebrity in the county town. You will know after a little inquiry.

Zhao Hanzhang attended two classes. His talents were indeed average, but he had a good heart, and his students all respected him.

She admired his perseverance. He was not disheartened despite being defeated many times. He was proactive and optimistic in preparing for the next banquet. Isn't such a person exactly what she wanted to find as a manager of Yushantang?

So he personally went to the door and hired people into the county governor's house.

Yushantang belongs to the Hufang of the county governor's office, so he is a minor official in the Hufang. His official rank is not very high, only the eighth grade.

But as long as he does well, he will naturally be promoted.

Zhao Hanzhang also talked with him. She wanted Yushantang to be a comprehensive charity organization.

The Yamen will provide partial subsidies, but they also have to work to meet their own needs, so the fields around Yushantang belong to it.

There is no need to pay taxes on the fields of Yushantang for the time being, and the people in the hall do not have to bear corvee labor. They can divide the work to cultivate the land, grow vegetables and raise some livestock;

In addition, the yamen will also provide them with some looms and spinning machines for the women inside to weave and spin cloth;

The most important one is the school inside, which teaches children how to read and count, and also teaches some women textiles or other skills.

"They will all be the pillars of Yuzhou in the future, so Yushan Hall is extremely important. When I hand it over to you, I hand over the hope of Yuzhou to you."

To be honest, Ping Xun was very excited and accepted the offer very excitedly. He had been living in the Yushan Hall for the past few days, and he could be called the third most diligent official in Nanyang.

Oh, first and second are Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan. Ping Xun is very self-aware and does not dare to compete with them for this title.

Zhao Hanzhang did not go out for Yushan Hall today, but he always came to take a look when he passed by. "The weather is starting to get warmer, so the land should be plowed. The spring grass should be buried to reduce the number of weeds."

Ping Xun agreed, hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's just that there are mostly old, weak, women and children in the Yushan Hall. If we rely on hoes, the speed will be too slow. Please help me with some cattle."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "We do need cattle, but not many can be given to you. You still need to overcome the difficulties yourself."

"yes."
