Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Luo Sha shook off his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Wang Lamei leave voluntarily?"

Luo Si smiled and said, "Then we have to find a way to make her volunteer."

Luo Sha only felt that the person next to him was laughing eerily, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone has weaknesses." Luo Si said.

"That's what I said, but how do we do it specifically?"

Soon Luo Si demonstrated the actual operation to him. When he returned to Luojia Village, Luo Si asked someone to call out Wang Lamei's son Luo Xinzhu.

Few people knew what they said to Luo Xinzhu that night.

But in the second half of the night, many people in the village heard the quarreling and crying coming from Wang Lamei's house.

That was the time when people were most sleepy, and even if they were woken up, few people would actually go out to watch the fun.

It was not until the next morning when someone went to Wang Lamei's house to inquire that they found out that Wang Lamei had really been kicked out. After careful questioning, they found out that she was kicked out by Luo Xinzhu.

Someone ran out of the village to see what was happening, and saw Wang Lamei sitting on the edge of a field crying, holding a small package.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why do you look so pitiful?"

At that time, someone retorted to the person who was speaking, "You should pity her and bring her to your home to worship her."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Even if some people in Luojia Village felt sorry for Wang Lamei, they didn't dare to say it out loud. More and more people gathered at the entrance of the village to watch the fun.

When Luo Sha and Luo Si were going to the government office, they were stopped by villagers again. They pointed at Wang Lamei and said, "It's not a good idea to leave her at the entrance of the village like this. She looks so pitiful. If someone who doesn't know the truth sees her, they might think that our village is bullying someone."

Luo Shachang lectured, "We have already driven them out. We don't care what happens next. If any of you can't stand it, find a way out on your own. Don't block our way. We have to go to the government office to be on duty."

It was Luo Si who suggested, "Why not ask uncle for some advice?"

After he said this, someone immediately pulled the uncle over.

Wang Lamei sat on the side of the road, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. Some people guessed that she was crazy, and the timid children were so scared that they cried after a while.

The uncle couldn't think of any solution, so he simply asked someone to call Luo Xinzhu over. "This is your mother. It's not a good idea to leave her at the entrance of the village. Since you've driven her away, you have to find her a place to go. Although she's not a good person, she's still good to you. You can't just ignore her."

Luo Xinzhu lowered his head and looked submissive in front of his uncle, but glared at Wang Lamei when no one was paying attention.

Just as Luo Si and the others said, no matter how much contempt he suffered because of her, he had to remember her kindness. Even if he didn't want to remember it, there would be others who asked him to remember it.

The old uncle pointed at Luo Xinzhu and said, "No matter what method you use, settle the people down within today and don't scare people at the entrance of the village."

The uncle left after speaking, but Luo Xinzhu didn't know what to do.

There were still people who felt sorry for Wang Lamei's situation and came up with a solution. They asked him to go to the government office and beg for mercy so that her mother could live in the new village.

Luo Xinzhu finally grabbed a life-saving straw and held the man's hand, wanting to invite him to go to the yamen with him.

The man pulled his hand away angrily, "Why should I go to your family's affairs?"

With the waves of turmoil in the village, Luo Sanmu's family had no time to watch the fun. They got up early and took their children to the cowshed.

After asking Master Zhong for help, he let the two children play at the door of the cowshed.

After a day's study, Zhong Ming thought highly of Luo Sanmu and his wife. They were both smart people and could understand many things when they were told. They were not like other people who would still be confused after he finished speaking.

There is no master who doesn't like smart apprentices. Although Zhong Ming taught everyone the same way at the beginning, some people gradually found it more and more difficult to learn, while others found it easier and easier.

Jiang Chan and his wife were among those who were picked.

Before we knew it, it was already mid-April.

Since that day, no one in Luojia Village has seen Wang Lamei. It is said that Luo Xinzhu went to find Luo Yu, and Luo Yu went to the government to intercede for her, and they reallocated land to her in Anxi New Village.

Jiang Chan and Luo Sanmu have been learning from Zhong Ming. They not only learned how to treat cattle, but also learned a lot of characters.

Now they can recognize some commonly used characters.

The two new villages in Beishan County originally did not keep up with the progress of spring planting, but with the help of cattle and farm tools, they finally caught up before the end of the solar term.

After inspecting the new village that day, Yang Zheng excitedly returned to the yamen to find Meng Changqing.

But after looking around, he didn't see anyone. He only saw Bafang lying in a rocking chair basking in the sun. "Bafang, where is the master?"

"The kids are playing in the cowshed." Bafang stopped the rocking chair and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. I'll go talk to the adults!" Yang Zheng waved his hand, "Just continue lying down."

Sure enough, Yang Zheng saw Meng Changqing near the cowshed. She was playing with children with a stick in her hand. The two children looked young and probably didn't realize that Meng Changqing was teasing them.

"grown ups!"

Meng Changqing turned around when he heard the sound and saw Yang Zheng coming over. He then gave the stick in his hand to Luo Yun and said, "You two continue playing."

"Sir." Yang Zheng took Meng Changqing to the side and walked a few steps. "I just came back from the two new villages. All the land distributed by the government has been planted with crops. I finally caught up." He breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not too late now. We can still plant something. Some people want to borrow cows to continue to open up wasteland.

I think those two new villages will be as good as Luojia Village in less than two years."

"That's good." Meng Changqing asked again, "Brother Yang, have you ever paid attention to the children in the new village?"

"Child?" Yang Zheng didn't pay much attention. "What's wrong with the child?"

Meng Changqing said, "Let's do a count in the next two days to see how many children there are in Beishan County who are between five and fourteen years old."

"Okay, I'll go back and get the list and I'll be able to check it out. It won't take two days."

"Not just the ones on the roster, but your children as well."

Since the personal soldiers started writing letters home, the frequent correspondence finally brought some of the soldiers' families home.

The government allocated land for them to build houses.

After all, they were not regular citizens of Beishan County. Before they came, Meng Changqing had already made an agreement with his personal soldiers that if their families settled in Beishan County, both residential land and farmland would be allocated normally. However, if they just accompanied the personal soldiers to live here, no farmland would be allocated, and only half of the residential land would be given to each person.

In the future, the residential land and the houses built on the residential land can only be sold to residents of Beishan County.

It’s not that Meng Changqing is stingy, it’s just that Beishan County is so small that he can’t just take advantage of the small population and divide it up.

Yang Zheng was still curious, "Why do you want to count these children?"

"What? Find something for them to do." Meng Changqing asked Yang Zheng to look at Luo Shitou who was rolling on the ground. "At this age, they can't do anything. It's better to lock them up and let them study."

"Study!" Yang Zheng couldn't help shouting out in his loud voice, but then he lowered his voice and asked, "Is our county government going to open a school?"
