Farmers have children to raise

Chapter 435 The third sister is here. (1)
It has been more than a year since Shen Cheng came to Chicheng.

Chicheng is a poor place that no one wants to come to. It can be said that chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't shit.

Shen Cheng, a silly boy, gave up the comfortable environment in the capital and came here voluntarily.

Choose here, on the one hand, it is far away from home, on the other hand, it is because I want to experience myself.

His third sister once said that the most difficult place can train people the most. Back then, his third sister was also exiled to her hometown, and only after suffering so much did she gain insight later.

What his third sister could suffer, he could endure even a man.

Of course, what he wanted most was to stay away from the home that made him feel ashamed.

When he came here, he served as a county magistrate under the county magistrate, in charge of all the people's livelihood affairs in the county to which Chicheng belongs.

Before at home, he just immersed himself in his studies and had little contact with people and affairs outside. Even the most basic trivial things had to be learned from scratch. Only here in the backcountry, he truly realized the true nature of life, suffering and poverty.

A large area of ​​land is barren and does not produce crops. The people are simple, but they have no clothes and no food.

At first, when he first came here, after learning about the situation, he did not live passively like other officials who were sent here. He spent two years and then tried to transfer him away.

His heart was full of motivation, he thought that if the people here were happy and had a prosperous life, what would they do?

He decided that since he was here, he had to make a show, and through his own efforts, let the people here have food, clothing, and land to cultivate.

Young people's ideals are always so pure and lofty, but when they come into contact with reality, countless cold water will often be poured on you.

The incomprehension and rejection of your colleagues, and the disapproval of your boss, magistrate, even if you have lofty ambitions and talents, in this case, it is really difficult to do something.

After all, everyone is dawdling around, safe and sound, quiet and quiet, and then go to other places to get promoted and make a fortune, but you are messing around there endlessly, what's the matter, messing around, you're brilliant, messing around No, something happened, and everyone was involved, who will cooperate with you.

Besides, this kid is still stubborn and not good at officialdom.

After hitting the wall countless times, Shen Cheng was very painful and depressed, but the fire in his heart was not extinguished.

Ever since his third sister returned to the capital from her hometown, when they were together, she often told him new things outside, fresh arguments, all kinds of things can be involved, no matter how strange things and opinions, when they came to her mouth, it was so Of course, as if it really happened.

What her third sister told him most often was that one must seek truth from facts, and that one must conduct in-depth on-the-spot investigations before dealing with matters in order to make a more correct decision.

He has always kept it in mind, because in his heart, his third sister is a truly wise person, especially her fresh arguments, although he doesn't quite understand many of them, but he knows that there are few people in the Great Rong Dynasty who can match her.

The third sister he respects the most, he remembers every word she said very firmly, and admires him unconditionally in his heart. She once said that if she is a man, she will have great plans and make a career.

He remembered this sentence very deeply, he wanted to fulfill her ambitions that she could not fulfill.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Chicheng, the first thing he did was to search for it. He had visited most of the villages in the county to which Chicheng belonged, even including passes and main roads. The outline of Chicheng was in his mind.

After searching Chicheng County, he discovered the problem.

The fields in Chicheng are vast, but there is little output, and the people are suffering.

Chicheng Mountain is majestic, but it cannot become a natural danger. Once foreign enemies come, they will be defeated.

The waters of Chicheng are high-quality, but they cannot become a land of fish and rice, enrich the people, and fill the treasury.

Carrying a treasure land in his arms, he still lived a life without enough food and clothing.

To excavate the treasure land, how to excavate the treasure land are all problems. If the colleagues do not cooperate, and Chicheng's foundation is weak, it is not so easy to turn over.

The number of setbacks increased, and the child gradually learned the way to be an official, improved his relationship with his colleagues, and gradually started to work.

The situation in Chicheng County has been greatly improved, but just when the work was on track, the disaster of war came, and Beiwu brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Chicheng.

A scout was sent to investigate, and the news was correct, and the city would be attacked in at most two days.

Originally, this news should be a military secret, but it has already spread in Chicheng. It is obvious that the enemy deliberately disturbs the hearts of the people in order to make them mess up.

I asked the magistrate for instructions, and together with the deputy general of the city defense of Chicheng, arrested those business spies who spread the news.

The civil unrest has been appeased, and the war is coming. He prepares for the rear combat affairs such as food, grass and weapons, and prepares for the upcoming war. No matter what, he must fight to the death.

However, their boss, the county magistrate, was scared out of his wits. He wanted to protect himself wisely and adopt a policy of non-resistance.

The magistrate is going to abandon the city.

Coming out from the county magistrate, Shen Cheng and Deputy General Lin who was in charge of the city defense affairs were very angry.

After leaving the door, Deputy General Lin kicked his foot on the tree, "Everyone has hit the door of the house, and you are not allowed to fight? Isn't this giving Chicheng to others for nothing?"

Shen Cheng sighed, looked around, "Brother Lin, be careful when you speak..."

Big brother Lin stared, and his voice suddenly raised, "I'm afraid of a bird, I'm all for this, he likes to do whatever he likes." After venting for a while, he shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, let's go home and drink, useless, soldiers approaching the city, but Don’t let resistance, say to wait for rescue, if rescue doesn’t come, why don’t you just abandon the city?”

The two went to Vice General Lin's house together, and Vice General Lin's wife prepared food and wine for them and brought them up.

Shen Cheng thanked, "Thank you Madam Sister-in-law."

After Madam Lin withdrew, Deputy General Lin led him to the low table and sat down cross-legged. He picked up the wine jar, took out two bowls, and filled each with wine. When he was about to pass it to Shen Cheng, he suddenly remembered, "I'll change the glass for you. .”

Shen Cheng stopped, "No, just use this."

"Okay, do it." Vice General Lin held up the bowl.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Vice General Lin said it was a pleasure.

Shen Cheng's face was contorted for a long time, "It's really spicy, but it's also really enjoyable."

"I can't see that brother Shen, a scholar, is so forthright." Vice General Lin praised.

Shen Cheng wiped his mouth and smiled, "Brother Lin, just now at the magistrate's place, you insisted on taking the initiative to attack, are you sure?"

Deputy General Lin sighed, put down the empty bowl with a slam, and filled himself with another bowl of wine, "What are you sure about? The disparity is huge, how can you be sure?"
