Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 130 Farming Talents
Now many people were dissatisfied and accused the man of being self-righteous and arrogant, but he still insisted on his own opinion.

Qian Li became interested in this man, so he persuaded many villagers to disperse. Instead of blaming him, he enthusiastically discussed some farming matters with him.

Seeing that Qian Li was of humble character and indeed very knowledgeable, this man began to talk endlessly about his experiences. The two of them became more and more excited and happy as they talked. Qian Li was also pleasantly surprised and felt that they had met too late. He almost pulled Qian Li to kowtow and become sworn brothers.

It turned out that the man's name was Zhan Lian, with the courtesy name Qingyuan. He was from Shangdang County. He suffered from a disaster a few months ago. When he heard that Langtiao County was carrying out drought relief, he rushed here with his wife and children, and finally settled in Wanshou Township.

When Qian Li heard that Liu He had some unique insights into crop planting, he thought he was a talented person, so he brought him to the county town and prepared to recommend him to Liu He.

When this man heard that he could meet the "legendary" Magistrate Liu, he was so excited that he ran home to tell his mother, wife and children, and kowtowed several times before the tablets of his ancestors and his father.

Now standing in front of Liu He, he spoke incoherently, completely lacking the eloquent demeanor he had when speaking with Qian Li before. Qian Li couldn't help but tease him.

However, after Liu He and Qian Li tested him, they found that this man had a kind character. Although his parents died early, thanks to his hard work in studying grain planting, the grain yield from his fields was higher than that of others, so he could barely support his mother, wife and little son.

"System boss, please help me check the attributes of this Zhan Lian." Liu He gave the system an instruction.

"System query, please wait... Ding! Zhan Lian: Command 28, Military Strength 41, Intelligence 62, Politics 57, Special Attributes: Fine Agriculture - Good at farming and researching agriculture. When managing agriculture, the output can be increased and the probability of excellent varieties will increase. Special Skills: None."

This investigation gave Liu He a big surprise.

"Oh, I didn't expect Zhan Lian to be such a talented person. He actually has such an attribute! In the era of cold weapons, wars are all about logistics, food, military pay, equipment, and horses, among which food is the most important. This special attribute is comparable to a magical skill! God, you really treat me well, haha!"

Liu He was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

"Zhan Qingyuan, right? Yes, you are here at the right time. When this county was still Huangshui Township, it always attached great importance to agricultural affairs, knowing that fields and food are the foundation of the country and the people."

Zhan Lian said quickly, "I know. Under the rule of County Magistrate Liu, the weather was good and the crops were harvested. Hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland were reclaimed. Various new technologies and new agricultural tools were promoted. Wells were dug and canals were opened, which increased grain production by 40%. My whole family was able to survive because of this. So I have always admired you, County Magistrate Liu!"

These words may sound like flattery in the mouths of others, but to Zhan Lian, they come from the bottom of his heart.

Liu He smiled and waved his hand, and Zhan Lian quickly shut up.

Liu He continued, "In our Han Dynasty official system, at the county level, only people are responsible for collecting taxes, but no one is responsible for ensuring and improving the grain harvest. I think this is unreasonable. Therefore, I want to set up a special position of Agricultural Minister in our Langtiao County, who is responsible for managing fields, reclaiming wasteland, and researching new tools and technologies."

Qian Li and Zhan Lian were very happy: "What County Magistrate Liu did is beneficial to the country and the people!"

"Haha, whether this Minister of Agriculture can benefit the country and the people is not up to me. It depends on talents like you. You study diligently and produce results, and then the people can benefit. Otherwise, it will be a waste of official money. Not only will it not benefit the country and the people, but it will also harm the country and the people!"

Although there was some smile in Liu He's tone, no one dared to think that this was a joke.

"This county has decided to establish an agricultural secretary for the first time in Langtiao County. The first agricultural secretary is Qian Li. Qingyuan, you will just have to serve as his deputy and assist him."

"No, no, County Magistrate Liu's words are really embarrassing to me! I am just a farmer, and I am grateful to the County Magistrate for his respect. How can I say that I am wronged? I will do my best and will not slack off!"

"Qian Li thanks the county magistrate for his cultivation! Qian will work with Brother Zhan to benefit the people of Langtiao County!" The two of them bowed and accepted the order, their faces full of excitement.

"Okay, Qian Li, you can choose an office in the county government, and then you can start working. You can also study the booklets I gave you before with Qing Yuan. Maybe you can gain some new insights."

The two of them immediately took the order and withdrew.

"The host has subdued Zhan Lian, a talent unknown in history. However, since none of his four attributes have reached 80 points, the owner cannot receive any points reward."

The system prompt sounded, but Liu He didn't care.

With this "fine farming" attribute, a few points seem insignificant. What's more, attributes can be cultivated. The lower the attribute now, the more points you will get after cultivation. It is not a bad thing.

While he was thinking about it, a servant came to report that the young masters of the Zhang and Su families had arrived. Liu He was in a very good mood, so he summoned the two of them in.

Zhang Long and Su Mao were both handsome and talented. When they met Liu He, they did not say anything to curry favor with him. Instead, they bowed respectfully, which gave Liu He a very good initial impression of them.

"System boss, come and check the attributes of these two people."

Liu He chatted with the two of them for a few minutes and was too lazy to check it carefully, so he just let the system check it.

"System query, please wait..."

"Zhang Long's attributes: Command 41, Force 63, Intelligence 74, Politics 67, Special attributes: None, Special skills: None."

"Su Mao's attributes: Command 36, Force 58, Intelligence 76, Politics 69, Special attributes: None, Special skills: None."

Liu He nodded slightly. The attributes of these two people were pretty good. With a little training, they could be fully qualified to be a prefect. However, he didn't have such a large territory to give them now. Moreover, those who had worked their way up from the grassroots were often more reliable, so he finally appointed them as the chief clerks of the county magistrate.

Zhang Long was sent to assist Qian Li in handling farm affairs, while Su Mao was sent to Huangshui Township to assist Liu Qian.

The two had received instructions from Zhang Ding and Su Shuang before they came, so they did not dare to have too much hope for this visit to Langdiao County. Although they were sent to the "grassroots level", their official position was at least the chief clerk of the county magistrate, which was also a dignified official position, so the two were still very happy, and after thanking them, they left.

After Zhang Yu gave birth to Liu Zheng, with the help of Mr. Xu's medicine and Dr. Qin's assistance, her body has now recovered. In addition, Zhang Yu was already in good health, so she is now free of any problems and as energetic as ever.

Liu He was a man of few desires. He had been holding it in for so long and finally got some relief. That night was truly a crazy one, and he only stopped when Zhang Yu's body could no longer bear it.

Liu He held Zhang Yu in his arms, turned his head and kissed her on the forehead. The two were filled with sweetness.

"Husband, there is only one and a half months left before the Taiping Dao uprising. I wonder what your plans are?"

After all, as a virtuous wife with the attribute of "helpful wife", Zhang Yu also reminds Liu He not to forget his ambitions even when they are in love.
