Chen Qin, Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang loaded the last bit of miscellaneous items and drove the ox cart to the road to wait. Du Zhongxiao stood at the door of the farmyard, looking at the vibrant field, and felt infinitely moved. When he came, there was still a reed marsh here. In the middle, there were wild ducks and other small animals, there were also robbers who killed and set fire. More than two years have passed, and now it has become a fertile field that cannot be seen at first sight.

Su Song beside him sighed: "I came here to try the Ma Meng case that day, but there were still reeds everywhere and deserted. Now there are villages everywhere, and chickens and dogs are heard. I have been here for two years, and I have done a lot of things for the people."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "In order to deal with Ma Meng and his gang of robbers, I started a land camp here, but I didn't expect that when I left, it was my greatest political achievement. Things in the world were unpredictable, who could make it clear? Now the land camp here is the biggest source of wealth in Bozhou. If there are disasters in other states, I have to transfer grain from here. Zirong will be the previous term, and the people and households here will almost surpass Yongcheng County."

After saying that, he pointed to the huge steam locomotive lying on the open space not far away and said, "I arrived in Yongcheng and thought about making this thing well. I have been busy for more than two years and can only run away. I can really pull goods, but I don't know when. This thing is too heavy and can't be taken away, so I stay here. Zirong has free time and can be careful about this thing. Maybe one day, it will be like the car and ship where Han Tongzong of Chenzhou."

Su Song nodded: "I have also thought in recent years that it is right to work hard on the steam engine. There are many benefits to this thing. Don't worry, I will recruit skilled craftsmen and continue to improve, and strive to run on the ground one day like a car or a boat."

Du Zhongxiao nodded. This was a pity for staying in Yongcheng. When he wanted to make a steam engine, he thought that the model would be easy to make and it would not be too difficult to use. Unexpectedly, after five or six years, it would be a big toy. Of course, he was just a county magistrate and had limited resources to use. But the most fundamental reason is that the steam engine involves too many industries, and it is really not easy to fill in various links in a small workshop. With Su Song's ability, he will continue to develop the industries he left behind. What Du Zhongxiao hopes most is to make the steam engine well.

Turning back and looking at the workshop where farm tools are still making, Du Zhongxiao said, "It's not too late, it's time to go on the road."

After saying that, he strode towards the ox cart waiting on the road.

When Du Zhongxiao came to Yongcheng, he only brought a personal female envoy with Han Yueniang. Now the envoy is married, with Qu Wuniang, Xiaoqing, Jing and Jing and Jing. He is waiting for the field affairs. At this time, he left, and Chen Qin and his wife, Luo Jing and Tao Shiqi, who are in private with Du Zhongxiao, and they follow Du Zhongxiao to pursue their future. Shisanlang grew up and is suitable for joining the army, especially after being Du Zhongxiao's entourage, he learned some archery and archery, and did not want to be buried in the place. Du Zhongxiao went to Bingzhou, where is the front line, and it was the time to play to his strengths.

Su Song saw each other out all the way, and the two arrived at the Yingtianwu Office. Qiao Baoping had already brought the public officials and others there. These were the new people Du Zhongxiao had recruited after he arrived in Yongcheng. As the Yingtianwu grew up, he became rich. His relationship with Du Zhongxiao was not comparable to those wealthy and noble people in Yongcheng.

After the ceremony, Du Zhongxiao said to Qiao Baoping: "The banquet will eventually end, and you and I have a fate. My colleagues have been with me for more than two years and have never had a dispute. Let's do the land management together to do this. After I left office, the county magistrate Su will be promoted to the land management. You should be as cautious as before."

Qiao Bao sang the promise with his hands.

Du Zhongxiao looked at the Yingtianwuyi Office. A peach tree planted by himself was blooming brightly. A few orioles sang in the spring, making them quiet and peaceful. He sighed slightly and said to Qiao Baoping: "Please come back. It's not too early, and it's time for me to set off."

After saying that, he bowed farewell to everyone, turned his back on his horse,

In the ox cart next to him, Lu Saisai was bored and said to Qu Wuniang beside him: "This car is so small, we are crowded with each other. I don't know how long it will take to go on the road, and I will kill someone alive."

Qu Wuniang said: "Sister, you have to take care of it. I think we were singing songs and asking for some money a few years ago. How dare we have such a happy life like this? County Magistrate Du treats us well, so we will definitely live a better life here."

Lu Saisei looked at Chen Qin who was busy outside and said lazily: "Life is a happy life, but it is too boring. Alas, if you do things in the yamen, you don't have much money or wealth, and you don't have any meaning."

Qu Wuniang could only persuade Lu Saisai to stop thinking about the past and live with Chen Qin with peace of mind. In the past, she sang songs and dealt with those wealthy people, saying that they were good at eating and dressing well, but they were rewarded by others. In fact, she had no money, so how could she compare to the present? Both families are well-off families, and they have meat and fish in daily life, which is not comparable to those in the past.

After staying in the ranch for nearly two years, Lu Saisai's heart gradually took back. Although he still complained from time to time and had a little bit of a slut with Chen Qin, he finally calmed down. She is not a fool. She is at this age and can't do anything in the past. Do you really want to be a concubine for someone? She is old and has a bad temper, and the wealthy and nobleman are not a fool.

Du Zhongxiao and Shisanlang rode horses, Chen Qin, Luo Jing and Tao Shiqi were escorting cars, and a group of nearly ten cars left the Yingtianwu Office.

Qiao Baoping stood at the yamen gate, watching Du Zhongxiao and his party leave, and then sighed and turned back to the yamen gate. He was originally an ordinary literary official, but he came to take charge of the field affairs after taking over two years. After more than two years, he was able to stand alone. Although Qiao Baoping is not in office, his real power is actually greater than that of many magistrates. When Du Zhongxiao left, he couldn't help but feel confused. According to the system, after two years, Qiao Baoping could be promoted from a human official to an official, which was considered a success. However, Qiao Baoping was a little hesitant. Those small officials may not be as good as they are now.

As we walked westward, passing through every village, villagers gathered at the intersection to see Du Zhongxiao off.

The land affairs in Yingtian are not as good as Yongcheng County. The people recruited are all poor people. Now there are no wealthy people, and there are no poor people. Occasionally, villagers are seriously ill, or they owe some debts to their marriages and funerals, and they will not be sad if they help each other. Compared with Yongcheng County, Yingtian is a paradise, with no disputes with the world, and rich and peaceful.

When they arrived at Daliushu Village, Chaoyin of Baozhengguan brought the villagers to the intersection early and saw Du Zhongxiao and his party coming and greeted him.

Seeing Shisanlang riding a big green horse, Liu Ada in the crowd whispered loudly: "Shisanlang, when he arrived at the border, he was lucky enough to be a general. Don't forget us fellow villagers. If you have free time, come back and take a look."

Shisanlang bowed his hand and looked at the familiar villagers with a hint of pride.

Du Zhongxiao took the wine handed over to Zhaoyin, drank it in one sip, and said loudly: "The villagers are willing to leave here. I hope you remember that it is not easy to cultivate here and keep your family business tightly. I have submitted a report to the court that the land management here will be permanently established and there will be no tax increase. Don't worry."

The villagers thanked each other loudly. There were no landlords in the field affairs, and Baozheng and other servants took turns to take charge. Since the field affairs were responsible for the output of public fields and the tax collection cost was low, the farmers' lives were much better than other places. For them, the most worried thing was that the court saw the development of various villages and changed the system so that these good days would never return.

Du Zhongxiao himself knew that there are many wastelands in the field and the population is sparse, so this system is suitable. Of course, after tens of hundred years, the population will be multiplied and the contradiction between people and land will be prominent. I can't say what it will be like at that time, and the current system may not be able to adhere to. But after all, I am an ordinary person, how can I manage the future? I shouldn't worry about the future.
