"Saline-alkali land?" the county magistrate retorted, "It's just that it has become a saline-alkali land now!"
"Sir, in the entire Zhengding City, only the fields in the hands of the county magistrate can grow more grain. The rest of the fields can only produce half a stone of grain per acre at most!"
The county magistrate ignored the distorted face of the county magistrate who was angry at being exposed, and said sternly to Zhao Jin: "Your Excellency, please investigate this matter strictly and give the people of Zhengding City a clear sky!"
"Sir! This person is clearly making a false accusation!" The county magistrate pointed at the county magistrate, his whole arm trembling.
Zhao Jin glanced at the two of them coldly, "Whether it's true or not, we'll find out later."
The county magistrate was stunned and hurriedly glanced around, only to realize that there was one person missing!
Although the county magistrate came later, he heard that the magistrate had brought people over, and there was only one person here at this time, so he immediately understood.
"Your Majesty, this is a warning!" the county magistrate was relieved.
Since the Sheriff has sent people to investigate, it means that he will handle this matter.
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, stopped arguing with the county magistrate, and knelt on the ground respectfully, waiting for Zhao Jin's investigation results.
Zhao Jin observed the two of them without leaving any trace, and upon seeing this, he started to worry.
More than an hour later, Takeda strode in, lowered his head and whispered a few words in Zhao Jin's ear.
Zhao Jin nodded and placed the teacup and saucer in his hand heavily on the table.
"Chang Ying."
The county magistrate of Zhengding City is named Chang Ying.
"S-lord."
Zhao Jin listed Chang Ying's crimes one by one, saying, "In his position, he did not seek his duties and allowed the people to suffer."
"Occupy the fertile land and order the people in Zhengding City not to spread rumors..."
Zhao Jin's voice was not loud, but it was like being wrapped in ice, cold and stinging.
He looked at Chang Ying who still wanted to argue, his voice was neither high nor low, and his face was cold, "Do you really think I am a fool?"
Chang Ying was suddenly relieved of her strength and collapsed on the ground, her eyes wandering.
Zhao Jin has clearly investigated clearly and has definite evidence.
"Take away Chang Ying's position as county magistrate. He will be punished with a hundred rods and all three clans will be driven out of Yunzhou County!"
"Sir!" Chang Ying looked at Zhao Jin in panic. Hearing Zhao Jin's punishment, he was horrified.
If he was seriously punished by a hundred rods, how could he withstand it?
What's more, he will be expelled from Yunzhou County!
"My lord! Seeing that even if I have no merit, I still have hard work, please spare my life! Your Majesty!"
Zhao Jin raised his eyelids slightly, "Hard work? Tell me, what hard work did you do?"
Seeing that Zhao Jin seemed to have really listened, Chang Ying's face flashed with joy, and she pointed at the county government office and said, "Sir! If the official is really a corrupt official, this county government office cannot be so shabby!"
Zhao Jin followed Chang Ying's hand and found that the paint on the pillars in the county government lobby was even peeling off.
When he walked in, he discovered that the county government office in Zhengding City was indeed too shabby.
"So you can ignore the life and death of the people?" Zhao Jin asked sternly.
In saline-alkali land, even if the food planted can survive, it is estimated that one acre of land will only have half a stone of food at most, which will not be able to sustain it.
Zhao Jin didn't know how many people died because of this.
He not only resented the inaction of the previous Yunzhou County Sheriff and Chang Ying, but also resented himself for not coming down to inspect earlier.
Chang Ying opened her mouth, but was speechless.
Finally, Chang Ying was dragged to the gate of the county government office and received a solid hundred blows in public, and was executed by Takeda and Xu Qi.
The two of them walked all the way and went to investigate, and after learning about the miserable situation in Zhengding City, they were very angry with the county magistrate, so they naturally attacked even more ruthlessly.
After a hundred strokes, Chang Ying had completely fainted and her buttocks were bloody and bloody.
"What is the current situation in Zhengding City?"
Standing beside Zhao Jin was the county magistrate, who replied respectfully: "Reporting to your lord, the current situation in the city is not optimistic. There are no fields in Zhengding City that are not saline-alkali land."
Zhao Jin paused for a moment and looked at the county magistrate, "Not even an acre of land?"
"No more." The county magistrate said with a bitter smile: "Two years ago, the more than eighty acres of land occupied by that dog official Chang Ying could still be regarded as fertile farmland."
The county magistrate sighed, "Now, it has become a saline-alkali land."
That's why Chang Ying was so confident just now.
Because all the fields under his name have turned into saline-alkali land.
Zhao Jin's eyebrows darkened slightly, he thought he still had more than 80 acres of fertile land, which could at least support him for a while.
Now it seems that the situation in Zhengding City is more severe than he imagined.
Zhao Jin took up his pen and wrote a letter, then took out the official seal he carried with him and stamped it with force.
He handed the letter to the county magistrate, "Immediately send someone to Yunzhou City to find the county magistrate, and use this letter to get three thousand shi of food."
The sudden good news immediately stunned the county magistrate.
The county magistrate shook his hands, took the paper from Zhao Jin's hand, and said blankly: "Three, three thousand stones?"
"Not enough?" Zhao Jin frowned and took out a piece of paper to write again.
He thought that there were only a few old people left in Zhengding City, and there should not be many people. It would be estimated that they would support about three thousand dan until autumn.
"No, no!" The county magistrate came to his senses and said quickly: "That's enough, that's enough!"
It's just that he never thought that Yunzhou City could send so much food.
Zhao Jin glanced at the county magistrate's expression and vaguely understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "No place always has good weather."
"They are all affiliated to Yunzhou County, and everyone is here to help each other."
Zhao Jin changed his voice and his tone became harsh in vain, "So, I don't want to see this kind of situation again!"
"Yes, I understand."
"As for the salt-alkali land," Zhao Jin pondered for a while, "Take me to see it."
He knew some modern methods of controlling saline-alkali land, but he didn't know whether they were suitable for Zhengding City.
"good!"
The county magistrate's voice was a little hoarse, so he immediately led the way.
In fact, he had already made plans to die together with the county magistrate, and he would risk his life to spread the news about the situation in Zhengding City.
Although he was happy when he received the news that the county governor came to inspect, he never thought that Chang Ying could end up like this.
What's more...
The county magistrate felt that the letter in his arms was hot.
He had never thought about three thousand stones of grain, and now, the county governor had to personally solve the problem of the saline-alkali land for them.
The county magistrate took a deep breath, as if everything had changed for the better overnight.
The group of people came to the field, and Zhao Jin could see a few old people in their sixties working in the field.
Zhao Jin frowned tightly and walked down the field.
"Sir?" The county magistrate followed Zhao Jin in surprise.
Zhao Jinbian knelt down to look at the crops in the field and said, "Nothing."
Almost all wheat grown in the fields is wheat, and this is when the seedlings should have grown a little taller after being planted.
