Chapter 21 Going to the government to move people to work(1/2)
Qin Lanqing's face turned red due to the pain in her legs, and Leng Yinghuan suddenly felt particularly relieved, which inevitably increased her strength.
"Help!" Qin Lanqing shouted, pulling off the rag, and said twice on the spot, "Huan, this is not how you retaliate against me. Your life will be ruined by you."
"You said yourself that you are not strong enough, and now you don't like being too strong. You are really difficult to serve!" Leng Yinghuan stopped and crossed his arms and looked at Qin Lanqing. This means that I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to do anything!
Qin Lanqing knew that her nonsense had made the young man angry, so she slapped her mouth.
Why is he thinking like this now?
Why don't you lament that I had to stay with that boy Tie Dun for two or three days because of heavy rain, but now I have learned Tie Dun's tricks and has no personality at all.
"I'm asleep!" Leng Yinghuan didn't want to stay with Qin Lanqing.
"Ah Huan, why don't you leave? Just keep pressing on me with your initial strength?" Qin Lanqing grabbed Leng Yinghuan's arm with quick eyes and begged.
Leng Yinghuan slapped his hand away and looked at him angrily, "If I listen to you again, I will be a fool!"
He walked forward.
"Huan, my legs are not good for one day, so I will stay here all day. When I am free, I like to instruct people to do things. I will let your sister..." Qin Lanqing received Leng Yinghuan's fierce look and quickly changed her words, "
Your sister, your sister is ready, I’ll ask her to prepare delicious food for me.”
Leng Yinghuan couldn't wait for Qin Lanqing to leave immediately, so she had to turn back, sit down and press his legs for him.
"Huan, I think you look like someone from the world. Are you willing to farm here instead of pursuing a career in the world?" Qin Lanqing wanted to understand Leng Yinghuan, so he told what he saw.
How verbose Qin Lanqing was, how big the shadow was in Leng Yinghuan's heart.
"When I was young, I also wandered around in the arena for a while. I also met a lot of people in the arena and made good friends with many people. Can you tell me who your master is? Maybe I know him?" Qin Lanqing did not ask.
He won’t give up until Leng Yinghuan’s identity and background.
Leng Yinghuan tapped Qin Lanqing's mute point, and her ears finally calmed down.
Leng Yingchun, who was next door, was amused by their voices and almost laughed out loud.
It's a pity that these days will end soon, after all, no one will be your salvation.
She thought for a while and then fell asleep.
Leng Yinghuan pressed and pressed, and Qin Lanqing fell asleep. Leng Yinghuan also completed the task of masseur, stood up and stretched, covered Qin Lanqing with a quilt, silently scolded Qin Lanqing a few words, and then squeezed his sore shoulders.
, shook his head and went to sleep.
The afterglow of the morning spreads on the earth, and Lishuping ushered in a new day. When I got up in the cold spring, I went to look at the grain seeds. When I picked them up, I saw that they had burst into buds. They should be able to sprout tomorrow.
Therefore, the field should be prepared as soon as possible, and the rice seedlings can be planted after they are raised.
The folks came quite early. They replenished their energy yesterday. Everyone was in high spirits and seemed to be able to carry hundreds of kilograms of things.
Leng Yingchun asked them if they had eaten breakfast. After learning that they had eaten, he hurriedly made porridge, left some, and left with Leng Yinghuan and Qin Xiaoxiao with the villagers after eating.
After a while, Qin Lanqing woke up.
He yawned, and his leg no longer hurt so much, so he smiled and walked out with a stick.
The room was empty again.
He rubbed his injured leg. After two days of rest and forcing Leng Yinghuan to massage it for him at night, he recovered quickly. In about a few days, he would be able to throw away the stick and be the same as before.
It's not okay to just be a borer here. He should find help from nearby farmers to complete the farming as soon as possible.
What Su Jingxian meant was that he hoped that he would try to get the people to plant more rice, so that the famine would be effectively alleviated after the harvest. By the time the next season's rice matures, the famine would be basically resolved, and then the popular rebellion would be relatively reduced.
Furthermore, when the people have enough to eat, they may consider returning to their hometowns for development, so that the people of Dayu can live and work in peace and contentment as usual.
At that time, with these great achievements, the prince's status will be more stable, and there will no longer be any need to worry about the third prince having any outstanding abilities and replacing the prince.
Thinking of this, Qin Lanqing did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly finished his breakfast and prepared to go to Lucheng to find the government and ask them to send people to join Leng Yingchun and other people's farming camp.
But he was in trouble because he didn't have transportation.
He walked around Lishuping, finally found an ox cart, paid some money and went to Lucheng.
He went to the county government office by familiar means, took his identity token, and explained his identity to the county magistrate, "I am the follower of the Marquis, and I came to you for help at the request of the young Marquis."
"I don't want to be a helper. Just ask Mr. Qin. I will do my best to serve the young marquis." The county magistrate received him respectfully.
"The young marquis ordered you to allocate manpower to the villages to support farming. You send people to each village to implement the situation. If there is reclaimed wasteland that is not cultivated, you must find a way to plant crops." Qin Lanqing ordered in an excited voice.
"I'm going to make arrangements now!" The county magistrate immediately called the master and asked him to arrange the personnel.
"Send a few people with me to Lishuping to help Leng Yingchun prepare the fields." Qin Lanqing said with his hands behind his back.
"Master Qin, I know the Leng Yingchun you are talking about. He is a very thoughtful person. He knows how to make a land deed and make the land hers. Is this a small land deed for her?"
The master felt that the relationship between Qin Lanqing and Leng Yingchun was unusual, so he told what he knew in order to curry favor with Qin Lanqing.
"She took the land as her own!" Qin Lanqing was a little dazed. Not many people in Da Yu knew about privatizing their fields. After all, the cost was quite high.
"No, she is amazing!" The county magistrate finally found words to compliment her.
"Stop blabbering and arrange for someone to follow me." Qin Lanqing refused to be flattered by the county magistrate.
The county magistrate asked the master to select a few people from the government officials who knew how to farm. He followed Qin Lanqing back to Lishuping and joined Leng Yingchun's plowing team.
Qin Lanqing's actions made Leng Yingchun understand even more that Qin Lanqing's identity was not simple.
After all, not everyone can ask the government to allocate personnel. Just seeing Qin Lanqing looking like he was begging for praise made him feel upset, but he didn't ask anything.
You girl didn't even say thank you, you really accepted help from others naturally!
Qin Lanqing pointed at the government officials with dull eyes, "You haven't eaten, are you taking your time?"
The government officials were so panicked that they sped up their movements. The master lamented repeatedly that the world was changing so fast that even those with pens had to farm!
"Yingchun, it seems that Uncle Qin is not useless. He knows how to use his power to arrange for people to help repay us."
Qin Xiaoxiao had been exhausted for a long time. Seeing so many people helping, she suddenly felt full of energy.
"We saved his life, and it's completely reasonable for him to help us." Leng Yinghuan came over and took a look at Qin Lanqing's soft eyes, and she forgave him for being ordered around by Qin Lanqing yesterday.
With more people and greater strength, the fields were plowed in half a day, and Leng Yingchun asked everyone to get the water source ready.
In order to facilitate other villagers to divert water to irrigate their fields, Leng Yingchun formulated a plan:
We need to dig a ditch to go around the entire Lishuping area, build a water storage pond next to each field, cut bamboos, hollow them out, and bury them at a distance between the water pond and the field.
When the harvest comes, water is no longer needed and soil can be buried around the bamboo.
This project is really huge, and Master roughly estimates that it will take three days to complete.
Qin Lanqing asked them to help people to the end and come to help every day.
The master saw the sad look in the Yamen's eyes and agreed heartily.
"You go back, no food or overnight stay tonight!"
In the evening, Qin Lanqing stretched himself and sent the master and the Yamen away.
Leng Yingchun handed each of the helping villagers ten copper coins.
Yesterday I was given ten copper coins. It would not be good to give five today. It would dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
After spending so much money all at once, she felt a little worried that her wallet could no longer hold it.
She wanted to finish the farming as soon as possible so that when the harvest was harvested, she could sell some grain to replenish her purse.
Back home, Leng Yingchun cooked white rice for the first time and mixed it with the delicious soup left over from last night.
Everyone lowered their heads while eating. Even Qin Lanqing, who was picky about food, found it very delicious and wanted to swallow the bowl.
"Uncle Qin, I felt disgusted when I saw you eating last night. Why are you having so much fun tonight?" Leng Yingchun looked at Qin Lanqing meaningfully.
"The Spring Festival cooking is delicious!" Qin Lanqing chuckled.
It was really delicious, he was right.
"Of course, I think everything cooked in Yingchun is delicious." Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, suddenly thought of something, and approached Leng Yingchun and asked, "Yingchun, why do I feel that our family has an endless supply of rice? I obviously see it.
You don’t have much rice left?”
Leng Yinghuan didn't know how to answer, so she nervously put the empty bowl to her mouth and pretended to be eating.
"I can't even stop your mouth with rice!" Leng Yingchun poured the remaining rice into Qin Xiaoxiao's bowl, "I must have eaten sparingly, I'm afraid we will be hungry soon."
"I want to eat white rice every day. I don't want to be hungry!" Qin Xiaoxiao raised her head and prayed.
"Don't be afraid. In two days we will go to the mountains to dig kudzu roots to satisfy our hunger. We will not be hungry. We can also go to the deep mountain streams to catch mountain crabs and fish larvae. Even the shrimps can be used as seasonings."
Leng Yingchun participated in a wilderness survival training camp in her previous life, ate a lot of miscellaneous food, and got to know a lot of wild items.
"Spring is here, and many wild animals have come out. I can go hunting!" Leng Yinghuan seemed to be inspired to volunteer to be a hunter.
"Great, we won't starve to death." Qin Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and looked back at Qin Lanqing, "Uncle Qin, do you want to leave here?"
"Ah!" Qin Lanqing responded vaguely.
He is a son of the family, and has been by the side of the Marquis Su Zhengliang since he was a child. He faces the struggles of wealthy and aristocratic families, and he is always in fear every day, but it is not as reassuring as here.
When all is said and done, he may come here with his wife and daughter, plant fields, keep bees, water flowers, boil a pot of pears to soothe his throat, and tell the villagers about his vigorous first half of his life.
"Uncle Qin, what's wrong with you?" Qin Xiaoxiao saw Qin Lanqing lost in thought, so she thought he was thinking of something sad, so she smiled lightly and said, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
