Chapter 413
He smiled back and said generously:

"Now that Mr. Fan is back to take charge of the overall situation, I will take the children back. The snow in the north has not been cleared yet. The snow is expected to last for another day. You will have to work hard at night."

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Li, walk slowly."

"Farewell."

After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she took the children and took a detour towards the back house of the government office.As for the children's confession books, there is absolutely no need to give them.The eye drops she was going to apply had been very successful, so there was no need to wrong her child anymore.

As soon as they left, other people threw their tools in front of Fan Chengfang's eyes. After a while, Fan Chengfang, the Yamen, Shen Jue, Sun Dianli and others were the only ones left in front of the government office.

Fan Chengfang's nose was almost crooked with anger, and he scolded Liu Yuliang, the leader of the Yamen:

"I'm making you lazy, I'm making you lazy. Why don't you come here to clean up the heavy snow earlier? Why don't you wait for me to do the work for you? Ah - it's not what you want, it's useless..."

Liu Yuliang knew that this scolding was inevitable, so he bowed his head and endured it obediently.The other cadres also lined up in a row and waited until Fan Chengfang had completely vented his anger and felt at ease before picking up their tools and heading south to clear the snow.

Everyone is accustomed to this. Anyway, as long as he is unhappy, they will suffer.But every time he was scolded, he would be given some subsidies, so no one would have trouble with the money, so they naturally tolerated it.

There are actually many shortcomings in the governance of the northern state capital. Li Hui knows it, and Shen Jue knows it even more.

Looking at the backs of the government officials, I couldn't help but start to make new plans for my future.

He is different from Tongzhi, Tongpan and others. He was born as a serious Jinshi.At this moment, he regretted not going out with Li Hui. It seemed that he was still shallow-minded and not sophisticated enough, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive.

No, he had to find a way to make up for it. Otherwise, it would be a good idea for him to stay in office when his term expired, and he would be afraid of being transferred to another county.

There are a total of twelve counties in the northern state capital, and each one is poorer than the last. He will never be able to return to the county magistrate, and finally climbed to the government office.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly left, preparing to use the back-up move he had saved earlier as a certificate of surrender.I hope it’s not too late to wake up, otherwise Li Hui’s side...

Alas, passive.

"A sneeze - a sneeze - a sneeze -" Li Hui sneezed three times in a row.

Li Heng's eyes were full of worry, and he quickly handed the hot tea to his father and said:

"Dad, when we get to town, I'll have someone buy you a big cloak."

"Buy whatever you want. If you buy it, you have to let him give it away. You have so much money, don't you?" Wen Tian scolded him rudely.

"Master..."

"What's the use of calling me? I didn't ask him to give it."

Wen Tian said "hum" and closed his eyes to rest.

Li Hui took a sip of hot water and said leisurely:

"You don't want Tiedan to buy it for me, do you want to be filial to me? It's useless for you to buy it. The yamen have to train with the soldiers. There is no discussion on this matter."

"You're dreaming! I didn't sell it to you, so why do I have to listen to you?" Wen Tian was furious.Although he had blown up his hair many times, and it basically had no effect, this time Li Heng more or less wanted to side with his master.

The old man who sells charcoal is very pitiful, but wrapping the charcoal round is already the most benevolent thing. There is really no need to give his cloak to others.You must know that his father's coat is made of sable fur, and his mother has added thick cotton inside, which is the best way to keep warm and resist wind.

Yan Yixin couldn't figure it out either, but he knew he had to help smooth things over.

"Master Wen, drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

Now that their relationship has completely broken down, he, like Li Heng, respects him as his master.

The carriage continued to "squeak...squeak...". Although it was snowing here, it was not as big as the northern capital.Their next destination is Qiyang County. It is said that there is a Baifeng Mountain there, which is the habitat of crows, sparrows and other birds.

The climate in the north is not good, so high-quality fertilizers must be used for cultivated land.He didn't know much about these things, but fortunately, Liang Yanchao had already talked about retting, and coupled with his grandfather's usual talk about it when he was farming, he must be right after a closer look.

Bird manure is high in phosphorus, sheep manure is high in organic matter, horse manure is rich in cellulose, and pig manure is better in nitrogen...

As long as there are high-quality fertilizers, crops will not only grow well but also be harvested early, killing two birds with one stone.

This was also forced to the point where there was really no other way.Although the northern state capital is not large, the total recorded population in the territory is still more than 40.To ensure that more than 40 mouths have food to eat without the need for relief grains, we must improve soil quality and increase fertilizers.

Since seeds are distributed by the government, natural fertilizers can also be used.

We have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise we won’t be able to use it for spring plowing tomorrow.Regardless of the fact that there is still half a year until March next year, it is cold in the north, and outdoor retting is simply not practical, so we have to choose another place.

Just as Wen Tian was relieved by the warm water, Li Hui suddenly struck with both hands——

"You go to Mopan Mountain now and tell Xiao Song to help him train his troops. Remember to tell him to leave the houses on the top of the mountain to me and don't let anyone live in them. Also, this heavy snow is very dangerous for the northern border. Beiqi will definitely come to cause trouble. After you finish all this, go home and help, and keep the home for me."

Wen Tian habitually wanted to say "why", but as soon as he heard that he was helping him "guard the house", he no longer hesitated, put down the tea cup and went out.

Yan Yixin put away the teacup, shook his head with a chuckle, and said:
"Master Wen is always like this. If he can't beat his uncle, he always flirts with him."

"But this time I think Master did the right thing." Li Heng complained unhappily, "It's true that Dad feels sorry for me, can't I give you money? I have to give you your cloak. Mother did it, why did you do it? Are you willing?"

In fact, Li Hui regretted it after giving it, but he couldn't get it back, so he had to give up.

I really don’t blame him. From the day he entered the military camp, “life is more important than Mount Tai, and the interests of the people are above all else” has been deeply rooted in his bones.Taking off the cloak is completely an instinctive reaction of the body.

"I'm not willing to give it up. Don't talk nonsense. I'm a parent official. I can't see an old man in his sixties shivering while walking around selling charcoal. If he falls in such a cold weather, his old life will be sealed. Okay, I won't tell you. Alright, I’ll go find Master Mou in the back.”

Li Hui stood up and got out. Regardless of whether the explanation made sense or not, an explanation was better than no explanation.Otherwise, if the little guy goes back to add fuel to the fire, he will have to coax his wife again.Although he is willing to coax his wife, he prefers to do more meaningful things before getting married!

Speaking of which, her health is still not good, otherwise he would work so hard, Li Huai is already five years old, and she has not been pregnant so far.It's good not to be pregnant, because there is no need to damage her body, but to be fair, he still wants a child that belongs to the two of them.

Of course, this was just a silly thought. If a child really couldn't touch her, he wouldn't be very happy...
