Chapter 552 I Want to Fish
April is full of fragrance, and hundreds of flowers are in full bloom.

From March, it has been the spring plowing season, and until April, now, on the land of Hanzhong, reclamation and sowing are in full swing.

Shangyong City.

Pieces of farmland outside the city are sandwiched between mountain streams. They are being reclaimed and water is being diverted in. Countless people are working hard. These people are in a happy mood. Water drops into the soil.

Last year's war broke countless families.

This year's spring plowing has made many people see no hope. If the spring plowing is delayed, the autumn harvest will be lost, and the autumn harvest will be lost. This year's cold winter will soon be an extremely difficult winter.

But they didn't expect that Minghou Mujing, who had just moved into Hanzhong, put aside his big and small affairs, and actually focused on spring farming. He also provided farm tools and grain seeds for free. They only needed to work hard to reclaim the land and sow seeds.

Such a good thing has excited countless Hanzhong people.

The people are pure, nothing more than asking for three meals a day. If they can't ask for it, they will pray to gods and worship Buddha, which will help the road of deification of power in Hanzhong. If someone can feed them, they will not care about the gods along the way.

"That's good for the county's great master. We haven't been supplied with farm tools and grain seeds for so many years!"

"Old lady, it's not the idea of ​​the magistrate of the county. Didn't you listen to that Rao Xiucai from the village next door said that it was promulgated by Lord Minghou himself. Now Lord Minghou is the elder of our Hanzhong!"

"Oh, so it's Master Minghou!"

"Old woman, it's a rare opportunity. If we work harder, we are cultivating two acres. This year's autumn harvest will have enough food for the winter!"

"okay!"

"..."

A young man listened to all the conversations of a couple at work.

A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth inadvertently. This is a pure and happy smile. He has not smiled so contentedly for a long time. It seems that since his father died in battle, he has been living with tense nerves.

Now, one of his unintentional decisions can satisfy so many families and so many people, and he suddenly feels satisfied.

Perhaps this is a sense of accomplishment.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. This may be a down-to-earth development. I was too drifting back then!"

Mu Jing stopped in his tracks, looked at the countless people working hard, and felt something in his heart: "If I had never considered the changes announced by the court or the chaos in the future when I was in Nanyang, I would have asked my father to use Nanyang prefect The position, if you settle down and develop, you will surely be able to ensure peace in Nanyang, why did you fall into today's situation!"

As a prophet, he knew the history of the future, and he always felt that he had a superhuman vision. After finishing the battle of Runan, he rushed into Luoyang without hesitation, and rushed into the stagnant water of the court.

But he forgot one thing, he did not develop steadily, the higher he walked, the more ruthless he was.

Their Mu family has power all over the world and they are in charge of the imperial court. What a beauty, but in one sitting, their family is ruined and their father is dead.

"Your Majesty, all this land has been reclaimed. I am Shangyong this year, and I will have no worries about food!" A person came up from behind. This person is the current Shangyong County Magistrate, who was the head of the county government back then Book, surnamed Hong, later Zhang Suo died in battle, the Shangyong county government was cleaned up, dismissed from office, promoted, he was promoted by Ye Ru to the right position, and presided over the government affairs of Shangyong.

"Magistrate Hong, a certain way has come, and everywhere is in chaos. Although a certain does not hesitate to mobilize the army, it is very difficult to resume spring plowing in a short period of time. Only this Shangyong has more preparations for spring plowing than other counties. a lot of!"

Mujing's thoughts wandered for a short while, but he quickly recovered. He stood upright, looked down at the front, and said with a smile.

Since he personally supervised the spring plowing event, he naturally would not stick to one place, but cared more about the whole of Hanzhong and the nine counties of Hanzhong. Since he loosened his resolve with the gentry that day, they all surrendered soon.

However, at the time of the transition of power, between the old regime and the transition of the new regime, many officials are very concerned about the matter of spring plowing. Officials with less ambition want to keep the status quo, so even if Mujing personally urged them, the results in other counties outside Nanzheng City were not great, and there were still many good fields that were abandoned and could not be improved after spring plowing. When the sowing is completed.

On the contrary, Shangyong, as the main city where the Mu army entered Hanzhong to attack, had already sorted out a lot of relationships last year. He was too concerned about the battle ahead, so he devoted himself to the great cause of spring plowing. This is because the spring plowing task in Zhengcheng, south of the city, has been completed well. In the city and outside the city, more than [-]% of the fields have been reclaimed and ready to be planted.

If the weather is good this year, Shangyong must be the place with the most harvest.

"It's all due to the merits of the king!"

The magistrate of Hong County did not dare to take the credit. After all, if Mu Jing forcibly turned the batch of discarded weapons into agricultural tools, and forcibly obtained grain from the major noble families in Hanzhong, even Shangyong, this year's spring plowing would be very troublesome. .

"If you have meritorious service, you don't need to be humble!" Mu Jing waved his hand: "Tomorrow I will go to Fangling. The situation in Fangling is not very good, and the officials are a little neglectful. I should go to supervise it myself. The spring plowing task of the mausoleum may be difficult to complete, and the rest of Shangyong, the chief of Nongcao will continue to follow up to ensure the supply of farm tools and grain seeds. You just need to ensure that the people are obedient, and in the shortest time Within a few days, finish the spring plowing!"

"promise!"

Hong county magistrate took the order.

……

In the evening, Mu Jing returned to the county seat and lived in the post station. This post station is the best post station in Shangyong City, and it has been rebuilt. Although it still looks a bit rudimentary, it can still be lived in for the time being. With great fanfare.

In the courtyard, he was watching with some notebooks.

"Ye Mingsheng is indeed good!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "If you don't enter Hanzhong, you don't know that there are such talents in Hanzhong. A certain family asked Tang Ming to borrow food. Tang Ming's crazy actions are unexpected, but they are enough to beat the Hanzhong gentry. The purpose, he came to clean up the mess, but the means are extraordinary, it just makes these Hanzhong gentry speechless!"

He asked Tang Ming to lead a team to the various noble families to borrow food.

Tang Ming is a concubine, and he is ruthless enough to do things. He moved the Tang family first, went to the door in person, and directly dug out the Tang family's granary. He was so angry that the head of the Tang family was speechless. The family borrowed more than [-] shi of grain to solve the shortage of spring plowing grain.

But it also caused dissatisfaction among some gentry.

Naturally, it wasn't Mu Jing who tried to appease him, but Ye Ru who came forward to appease him. Ye Ru's method was also clever enough. He first cleared up the relationship, and then used the power of the prefect of Hanzhong to recommend many people to become officials. Many disciples of the gentry were officials, and the positions they could give were dispensable, which instantly extinguished the anger of the gentry in Hanzhong, and made them speechless with resentment.

"My lord, is this Tang Ming being too cruel!" Huo Yu asked in a low voice.

"A person who is depressed and unsuccessful must have resentment in his heart. He is venting, let him go!"

"But this person can move even his clan, so he may not be loyal to the lord!"

"Employing people is an art!"

Mu Jing smiled: "Tang Mingke, I am not afraid of his retaliation, and now he is a knife in my hand!"

"My lord, there is actually something that my subordinates don't know whether I should ask?"

"Zhongheng, between you and me, why bother to see each other? If I can't even listen to your words, then I really can't listen to anything!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Huo Yu .

Huo Yu came out from Zhongyang Town and often accompanied Mu Jing. Although he was a civil official, he was only responsible for recording and sorting out the documents, and submitting the records of entry and exit. His ability may not be comparable to that of a county official who holds power. He has no one.

He is conscientious, never speaks much, and is loyal. He used to stand up for Mujing with the body of a scholar. If this person cannot be trusted by Mujing, no one in the world will be trusted by Mujing anymore.

"Hanzhong is not completely stable now. Although Zhang Lu is dead, there are many evils left behind. It is rumored that many masters of the Heavenly Master Dao have survived. If you are in Nanzheng, they can do nothing to you, but if you leave Nanzheng, it is not giving them a chance ?"

Huo Yu asked in confusion: "Although spring plowing is important, is it more important than your safety?"

"Spring plowing is very important, but it is definitely not a reason for me to risk myself!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "One day in Hanzhong is uneven, and my heart is always uneasy. Rather than ignoring it, it is better to give them a chance. If someone makes a mistake, I will have a chance to break the stagnant water in Hanzhong. How can there be no internal response!"

"My lord means..."

"I'm fishing!"

Mujing smiled: "I just want to see who will take the bait. Tomorrow's itinerary will remain the same. Continue to Fangling. Zhongheng doesn't have to worry about my safety. Even if I have the heart to kill the enemy, Xi Zhicai They won't give me this chance, I just need to do my job well, and someone will take care of the rest!"

"It's my subordinates who are worrying too much!" Huo Yu suddenly understood that compared with people like Mu Jing Xi Zhicai, his thinking was still too limited, so he just had to be his official staff honestly.
