Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 65 I'm Just Listening to the Order of the Inspector
Sanjia Village, Liaoshan County.

On this day, the old and the young in the village sang and danced.

The villagers walked to the farmland with cheerful steps.

Today the county magistrate brought the county government up and down to carry water and plow the fields with them.

Anyone who has ever farmed knows that the fields in the village are all concentrated in the same place, located downstream.

The advantage of being located downstream is that it can easily irrigate the farmland, and there will be water in not very dry periods.

But the farmland should not be located too downstream, because rainy days will affect the water level, and if the water level covers the farmland, the crops will die.

Therefore, there is still a small water source flowing through the most downstream during this period. The whole village is mobilized to lift the water to the top of the farmland and let it flow down. There is a high probability that part of the farmland can be rescued.

In fact, the part of this large farmland closest to the downstream has already been planted with lush green crops, and a few people have already planted their fields.

However, compared to all farmland, those cultivated fields are completely negligible, too little, too little.

The top position of the farmland.

The villagers of Sanjia Village have already gathered.

This is a large village with more than 3000 people, and more than 1000 people gathered at the scene.

"Fathers and folks, I am the county magistrate of Liaoshan County."

"Today, I obey the governor's call and resume farming with you."

"Now, please line up in two teams, hold your buckets, and carry water in an orderly manner under the guidance of the yamen servants."

Lin Yangbo said loudly.

On both sides of him stood ten yamen servants.

They had their hands on their hips and riding whips around their waists.

Judging by their appearance, they don't seem to be here to help with farming.

After the voice fell, the people began to adjust their positions, and finally lined up in two lines.

Finally, under Lin Yangbo's order, the people of Sanjia Village began to walk downstream in an orderly manner.

On the way, the villagers walked and chatted happily.

"I just said there's no need to worry, the county government will definitely find a solution. Look at Alan and his family, they were so busy a few days ago, I'm afraid they're going to cry now."

"That's right, my own seeds are not as good as the government's seeds, and now I am still carrying water and farming under the guidance of the county lord. I really don't listen to the words of the wise man, and I will suffer in front of my eyes."

"I heard that the re-cultivation was forcibly ordered by the governor, otherwise cough cough"

The topic changed quickly.

The villagers began to chat about other things.

They are afraid of officials and dare not talk too much about this aspect.

Not long after, the villagers had reached the downstream water source.

The county magistrate of Liaoshan County and others were already waiting for them downstream.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

The magistrate shouted loudly.

There are also ten yamen servants waiting on both sides.

They also had their hands on their hips and horsewhips around their waists.

The villagers didn't think too much, followed the village chief to start filling water, and returned in the direction they had come and gone.

At this time, the county magistrate winked at the yamen servants, and these yamen servants followed him back, staying at a certain position on the way back and forth.

Similarly, the county magistrate at the top also distributed the yamen servants at a certain position on the road. There were yamen servants standing up and down, and the villagers walked in the middle.

"Village chief, how do you feel that they are watching us work?"

Finally, some villagers felt that something was wrong.

The officials in front of them surrounded them.

Each holds a long whip in his hand, with a serious look on his face.

This kind of situation is not like returning to farming with them, but like preventing them from being lazy at work.

"I'll go back up and ask the county magistrate."

The village chief also noticed something was wrong.

The originally happy team slowly became silent.

They have seen this kind of situation before, it is the situation where the government stares at the prisoner's work.

But I and the others are obviously ordinary people, planting their own fields and not committing crimes, should they stare at them like this?
After a while, the village chief came back up panting, and poured the water from the bucket into the pit above.

The same is true for other common people, they are all very tired, out of breath, and their backs are already sweating.

"Xian Xianzun, what are they doing?"

The village chief pointed at the yamen servant and asked with a flattering smile.

Lin Yangbo didn't know where to bring the stool.

He gnawed melon seeds with his legs crossed, and there was already a pile of melon seed shells on the ground.

At this time, there was only one yamen servant behind Lin Yangbo, and the others went to supervise the work.

"Looking at your work, what's the matter?"

Lin Yangbo spat out the melon seed shell and asked back.

"Didn't you come to resume farming together?"

The village head laughed along with him.

Half bent over, dare not stand up straight.

"Aren't we going to resume farming with you now?"

Lin Yangbo asked again.

He put one of the melon seeds into his mouth, and spit out the shell of the melon seeds.

"This this."

The village head squeaked and dared not speak.

He really wanted to ask, does this also count as re-cultivation?

Obviously just standing aside and monitoring our work.

But looking at Lin Yangbo's appearance, he didn't dare to ask further questions.

"Snapped!"

"What are you doing?"

"Delaying the project will break your legs!"

Suddenly, there was a crack of a whip.

What followed was the scolding from the yamen servant behind Lin Yangbo.

The village chief was taken aback and shivered all over, not daring to stay any longer.

With his return to the ranks, the villagers know what's going on and couldn't be happier.

Their hearts became heavy, their work was not as active as before, and they followed the team numbly.

One round, two rounds, three rounds, the water flows from the top to the downstream, and several farmlands have water.

But the villagers were also exhausted.

"I can't do it, I'll take a break."

Some villagers couldn't take it anymore, they walked out of the team and sat down to rest, gasping for breath.

Seeing this, the other villagers also prepared to rest with each other.

But at this moment, a long whip struck and lashed at the villagers who were sitting down.

"Snapped!"

The villager who sat down was drawn.

He screamed loudly in pain and bounced on the spot.

The villagers who wanted to rest or were working all looked this way.

"Who allowed you to rest?"

"Listen up, don't rest!"

"Delayed the project of Lord Inspector, interrupted your legs!"

The yamen servant scolded.

The riding whip in his hand whipped again in the air.

There was another snap, shaking the hearts of all the villagers.

"I'm planting my own field, what's wrong with taking a break?"

The man who was beaten was outraged.

Frightened and angry, he questioned the yamen servant.

"Noisy!"

"Do you dare to question the order of Lord Inspector?!"

The yamen servant's eyes turned cold, and he whipped the man hard again.

The man's clothes were torn immediately, and a bloodstain appeared on his body.

"Bastard, I'm fighting with you!"

The man was furious.

With red eyes, he wanted to rush to the yamen servant.

The yamen servant snorted coldly, without any fear, he threw the long whip in his hand on the ground, and the saber in his waist.

As long as the man dares to rush forward, he will send it with a knife. Even if the other party is killed, he deserves it.

But at this moment, the man was hugged by the villagers, preventing him from rushing forward to take revenge.

"Don't be impulsive, think about your son, think about your parents."

After the man heard it, the madness in his eyes slowly faded away.

He endured the aggrieved, picked up the bucket and returned to the water carrying team.

From this moment on, the steps of the villagers are heavy.

Lin Yangbo on the top looked at everything with a sinister smile.

This officer is only following the orders of Lord Inspector.

Apart from Sanjia Village in Liaoshan County, similar incidents are also happening in Hepingcheng County, Yushe County.
