   Chapter 227 Xinri Zheng

   Lizheng is also surnamed Chen, and they belong to one family.

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't want to change his clan to choose Lizheng, and to mention Lizheng as a small surname was simply asking for trouble for himself, because the villagers would definitely not listen to him.

   So Zhao Hanzhang decided to find Xinlizheng from the Chen surname.

   The north wind is blowing, whoever stands taller at this moment is the colder.

Fu Tinghan stood in front of Zhao Hanzhang, just to block some wind, but it was cold to stand like this, so Zhao Hanzhang took Fu Tinghan and squatted back to the field that was slightly sheltered from the wind, and waved to Chen Fang who was standing respectfully with his head bowed, " Come and talk to us."

  Chen Fang hesitated for a while, but still stepped forward and squatted aside.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "I was looking for someone to come back to stop the people from Shangjiao Village just now, why didn't you come?"

  Chen Fangdao: "So many people are enough to stop them, all come, no one will dig ditches in the ground."

   "Do you think you should stop the people from Shangjiao Village?"

   Chen Fang hesitated for a while and then said, "Since the girl has left them, naturally they shouldn't be stopped."

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled and asked, "So you actually agree that Chen Lizheng stopped the people from Shangjiao Village?"

Chen Fang paused for a moment and said, "This world is difficult, and the county magistrate has a good heart. He helped us before, and now we are working for relief. Everyone can survive the winter, but no one knows what the next year will be like. Naturally If I want to save more money and food, Li Zheng’s move is also for the good of the village.”

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with a half-smile, but said nothing.

   Chen Fang was apprehensive in his heart, lowered his eyes and said, "But giving money for work is a major matter for the yamen. The county lord is here, so naturally the county lord will make the decision."

Only then did Zhao Hanzhang feel more satisfied, and said: "This time, more than 80 people came to Shangjiao Village. Judging from their appearance, they should not have eaten enough during this period of time. They walked more than 20 miles hungry and finally arrived. Here, you are driving them away with evil words. Have you ever thought that the two sides are extremely prone to conflict, and how many people will be injured if there is a conflict?"

  Chen Fang was taken aback.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "As a yamen official, everything is based on the safety of the people, and even more so, you must be stable in your work and as a person. Moreover,"

   She fixedly looked at each other and said, "Don't forget who you are Lizheng."

   Fu Tinghan, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Chen Fang, saw his simple and honest face, and felt that he could not understand the deep meaning of Zhao Hanzhang, so he said, "It's the Lizheng of the villagers in Xiajiao Village, and it is also the Lizheng of the county ruler."

  Chen Fang looked suddenly realized.

  Fu Tinghan: ...I really didn't understand.

   He glanced at Zhao Hanzhang.

   Zhao Hanzhang:  …

   Forget it, the tall one is taller than the dwarf, he somehow knew to ask her, instead of personally bringing someone to stop him like Chen Lizheng.

   After dinner was over in the evening, Zhao Hanzhang summoned the heads of households in Xiajiao Village and two nearby small villages that did not even have a name, and directly announced the change of Lizheng.

  Chen Lizheng looked bewildered. He didn't react until the crowd dispersed. Seeing Zhao Hanzhang leading Chen Fang to discuss matters, he hurriedly chased after him, "Mr. Xian, I don't know what I did wrong?"

Zhao Hanzhang saw that many people stopped and pricked up their ears, so she asked: "If the people I left behind ran to tell me that the villagers of Shangjiao Village came to seek refuge, would you not report it to me? "

  Li Zheng's eyes widened, and he immediately said: "Of course not, I want to deal with it and then tell the county..."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "The idea is good, but this matter is not trivial. Your two villages almost fought because of it. Once you do it, it will be a matter of life and death, and I am nearby. You have neither the ability to solve such a major matter peacefully nor The idea of ​​​​reporting to the top, Chen Lizheng, do you really treat me as a county magistrate?"

  Chen Lizheng turned pale, "I..."

   Zhao Hanzhang saw that he was speechless, turned around and left, and took Chen Fang with him.

   "You will take over the next project here," Zhao Hanzhang said: "In addition to the canal, the river must also be dredged. The river mud dug out can be composted. I don't know what the year will be next year, so we have to prepare for what we can do."

   In fact, a better way is to dig another reservoir connected to the river, so that the water storage effect will be better.

   But now the manpower and material resources are unable to keep up, Zhao Hanzhang knows that he has to take his time and do things one step at a time, not only hurting others, but also himself.

  Chen Fang respectfully responded.

"The villagers in Shangjiao Village will not rob you of your work. On the contrary, they are here to help you. If the river can be dredged this winter, the water storage capacity of the river will be much higher next year, so they will not be afraid of running out of water." Zhao Hanzhang said: "If you want to do all the work, you will earn a lot of wages, but it will definitely delay the farming season next year."

"Everything we do is to make it easier for you to farm better and harvest more food. If you only focus on the benefits in front of you, isn't it a small loss?" She said, "I still hate coming here now. There are fewer people, the more the better.”

Chen Fang was simple and honest, but not stupid. He immediately said: "I know, to settle the people in Shangjiao Village, we must also appease the people in our village, so as not to cause the two villages to have greater conflicts. If there are still people Coming to cast is the best, there is no shortage of work.”

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "That's the reason, you both drink the same river water, and there are many people in the village who are in-laws with Shangjiao Village. They are of the same blood, and they should help each other."

   gave Chen Fang a good direction of work, and then Zhao Hanzhang went back to find Fu Tinghan.

   They are still staying in Xiajiao Village tonight, and they will patrol in the other direction tomorrow until they reach the iron mine.

  The people of Shangjiao Village also settled in the empty houses in the village, with seven or eight people in one room, and they couldn’t help talking even in the middle of the night.

   "It seems that the female county magistrate is still the best, and her heart is relatively soft. As soon as we asked, we agreed to stay with us."

   "How about we bring our family over to work?"

   "Yes, yes, we are full, but the family is still hungry."

   "Don't worry, let's do it for two days, and we'll talk about it when the relationship comes out."

   As a result, the next day, Zhao Hanzhang just watched them dig mud for a while, then got up and left Xiajiao Village.

  Her Xiping County is very large, there are many places to visit, it is impossible to stay in one place for too long.

   The villagers in Shangjiao Village soon realized the hard work of digging the river.

   Not to mention the effort, sometimes stepping in the puddles, raking up the mud in the middle of the river, such laborious and cold work, calling the women and old people in the family is almost death.

   So they silently pressed the matter to the bottom of their hearts, no longer thinking about opening their mouths.

The newly appointed Li Zheng Chen Fang seemed to know what they were thinking, so he squatted with them during dinner and said: "Don't worry, the wages here are paid every ten days, and when the wages are paid on the tenth day, you will go to the market. Go up and buy food, and give you a day off to send the food back."
