Chapter 217 Lost

Although there are canals to divert water, Yunzhou County already has concentrated and abundant rainfall, so the water level in the underground river is probably still high.

In this case, if you want to completely solve the problem of saline-alkali land, it is best to plant rice instead.

Rice can wash away salt, so it is perfect.

"Sir, I'm afraid everyone is not used to eating rice." The county magistrate hesitated.

Zhao Jin raised his eyelids and said displeasedly: "Are you trying to get used to eating, or are you trying to get rid of this salt-alkali land?"

"Continuing to grow wheat will not completely solve the problem of saline-alkali land. The food grown in the future will still be cheaper than food grown in other places."

"All kinds of things!" the old man next to him replied first.

Why are they so squeamish?

If you are not used to eating, is it important to have food?

They all know that it is terrible to have no food. As long as the output is large and the food can be eaten, that is enough!

Seeing this, the county magistrate couldn't say anything else.

Zhao Jin stayed in Zhengding City for another three or four days to ensure that the county magistrate and others really understood what he said that day, and then gave detailed instructions before leaving Zhengding City.

Before leaving, Zhao Jin asked the county magistrate to be the county magistrate of Dingcheng.

The county magistrate has a certain reputation in Zhengding City, is familiar with the situation, and loves the people.

Although his abilities are average, a county magistrate can still hold his own.

Zhao Jin walked all the way south, and every time he passed a county, he made a secret inspection, and then went to the county government to give it a good hammering.

Most of the county offices in Yunzhou County are pretty good.

However, along the way, Zhao Jin also dismissed two county magistrates for inaction and corruption.

Zhao Jin knew that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, so he did not require all of these county magistrates to be clean and honest, and only relied on the small amount of salary to survive.

But the premise is that you can't search for people's fat and people's anointing.

He did not bully the people or steal money from them, and the amount was not large. Zhao Jin always turned a blind eye.

Almost all county offices in Yunzhou County have received the news, and the county governor is inspecting various counties!

However, they couldn't find out Zhao Jin's route, so they could only tense up during this period.

At this time, a carriage was driving slowly in the woods.

There are tall arborvitae trees on both sides, and their green crowns block most of the sunlight.

Zhao Jin was leaning against the car wall with his eyes closed.

"Sir." Takeda's hesitant voice sounded from outside.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jin didn't fall asleep. Firstly, the carriage was bumpy. Secondly, he was very wary. He couldn't fall asleep in this environment.

"We seem to be lost."

Zhao Jin opened his eyes, lifted the car curtain and stuck his head out. He saw tall green cypress trees on both sides, and in front of the carriage, there happened to be a fork in the road.

However, both paths are exactly the same.

Zhao Jin looked back at the road they passed and frowned.

To be precise, all three paths are exactly the same.

He rubbed his brows and said, "This is probably an arborvitae forest."

Arborvitae trees are tall and similar in appearance. In such a large arborvitae forest, basically every road is similar to a rubber forest.

"Go left and go out first."

"good!"

Takeda responded loudly, and the next moment, he raised his whip and drove up the carriage.

They walked for more than an hour before finally seeing the light.

In the Arborvitae arborvitae forest, because the trees are so tall, only a few rays of sunlight can fall behind them, making the forest look darker and depressing.

Zhao Jin did not return to the carriage, but sat on the shaft of the carriage with Takeda.

Takeda's face lit up with joy, "I'm finally going out!"

"drive!"

The three of them sped up and exited the arborvitae forest.

Zhao Jin looked up and saw a large open space outside, with a relatively low mountain to the side.

There are not many plants on the ground, mostly stones.

"There's someone." Almost as soon as he came out, Zhao Jin frowned.

Soon, Takeda and Xu Qi also heard the sound.

Zhao Jin looked directly in one direction.

Sure enough, not long after, several figures appeared in the three people's field of vision.

They were several thin men, their clothes were dirty and torn, and their exposed skin was stained with dust and dirt.

They ran over in panic, looking back from time to time, stumbling on their feet.

When they saw Zhao Jin and the other three, their faces clearly flashed with joy, and then Zhao Jin saw them running directly towards him.

Behind a few people, four or five tall men chased after them, holding knives in their hands.

"Master! Master, please save us!"

As soon as they approached, they hurriedly called Zhao Jin for help, and while talking, they looked back at the pursuers.

Zhao Jin jumped down from the carriage shaft, "What happened?"

"They, they want to kill us!" Several people ran behind Zhao Jin, turned around and looked at the tall pursuers, and asked for help in fear.

Zhao Jin winked at Takeda, indicating that he was optimistic about these people.

Takeda understood and moved his feet, just blocking the way for several people to escape backward.

Several pursuers soon arrived in front of Zhao Jin and said in an evil voice: "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and send them over quickly!"

Zhao Jin turned around and glanced at the men, and when he saw their pleading eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at the pursuers again and asked: "They said you want to kill people? In broad daylight, there must be a reason for killing people?"

The men looked at each other and murmured in a low voice: "It is better to do less than to do more."

One person took a step forward and said, "They are our slaves, but they wanted to run away, so the master asked us to take them back!"

Once a slave in Zhao State signed a contract, his life and death were decided by the master's family.

Even if the master wanted to kill the slave, the government would not be able to comment.

"Nonsense! Master, we are not slaves!"

Zhao Jin turned his head and asked, "Then who are you?"

After hearing this, several people were obviously hesitant.

The pursuers' eyes made contact with each other, and then they rushed over quickly, trying to get past Zhao Jin and kill these people.

"Qiang!"

Zhao Jin drew his knife to stop them.

"Boy! I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, but you won't listen."

Zhao Jin opened his eyes and saw a few people with fierce looks on their eyes, obviously wanting to kill them all here.

"Takeda." Zhao Jin said quietly: "Keep an eye on them."

After saying this, Zhao Jin directly faced them brazenly.

At first, several people did not take Zhao Jin seriously.

They had already seen the sword on Zhao Jin's waist, but seeing his rich clothes, they thought he was a young master somewhere, and the sword was just for decoration.

But after only a few moves, they thought to themselves: Oh no!

This young man clearly has great martial arts skills! They are no match!

But……

Looking at the few people huddled behind, they gritted their teeth and began to try to get around Zhao Jin.

However, how could these people be Zhao Jin's opponents? In the end, without exception, they were all tied up.
