Chapter 36 County Magistrate Hu Wancang, best friend

 Peixian County Temple.

The so-called county temple is the county government in later generations, but its shape is completely different from what is shown in movies and TV dramas. What catches the eye is the earthen screen, which is also called a rice cake. There are rows of characters written on it in small seals, all of which are

Common Qin laws.

In the inner hall, there is a middle-aged man sitting upright, with a short sagittal beard. His hair is combed into a bun, and he wears a double-plate long crown on his head. He has a black tassel under his chin. A black ribbon is hung around his waist, and a copper seal is tied around his waist.

This is the magistrate of Peixian County - Hu Wancang. His eldest brother was Hu Wuchang, the Taishi of the Qin State. Later, because of his fair performance and Hu Wujing's recommendation, he became the magistrate of Peixian County.

.

Over the years, his political performance has been neither good nor bad. He does not stand out and grabs the limelight, nor does he fall at the bottom and be eliminated. He is also polite, and he gets along well with the wealthy families in Pei County, and of course he does not make a lot of money.

"Did the county magistrate encounter something happy these days?"

"Of course." Hu Wucang smiled proudly and said proudly: "I have an old acquaintance who has encountered some trouble in Shanfu County. He said that he might come to Benling's house in a few days to avoid the limelight."

"This..."

The official wanted to speak but stopped.

What kind of happy event is this?

"I know what you are thinking in your heart." Hu Wucang smiled faintly and continued: "My close friend still has two unmarried women, both of whom are famous local beauties. If he comes to Pei County to take refuge as a guest this time,

, this order can be used to propose marriage."

"That's it!"

The subordinate suddenly realized.

Two years ago, Hu Wucang's first wife died of illness. They have not married each other in these years, and they only have one concubine. Some people have discussed it secretly, and they all think that he and his first wife have a very good relationship, so Hu Wancang would rather stay single.

I don’t want to renew my relationship. Now it seems that this guy has been eyeing my daughter for a long time!

Hu Wancang's eyes were piercing, as if he was thinking about a bright future. He couldn't help but sigh: "Five years ago, my daughter was already hair-length, and she was a beauty at that time. Now that I think about it, she looks even more beautiful."

, if I can bring this beauty home, I will be satisfied.”

"For the county magistrate, it is not difficult to come up with it."

"It's not that easy."

Hu Wancang waved his hand.

His best friend had a very special background, and was best at making faces with people. In addition to his extraordinary family background, he might not think highly of a small county magistrate like him. He heard that it was because the son of the magistrate of Dang County fell in love with him.

My daughter, it’s just that I didn’t agree with it. So, I offended the county magistrate.

More importantly, that man has extremely high vision. His daughter, who is the most humble, has long said that she wants to marry a capable man who can be truly rich and powerful. Now even the county governor looks down on her, so what level does that have to be?

His talent caught his eye?

"This matter is not urgent for the time being." Hu Wancang looked at the subordinates in confusion, "But you are here in such a hurry. What is the important matter?"

"This is presented to Mr. Xiao by the chief official."

"Xiao He?"

Hu Wancang was stunned for a moment.

Xiao He is the most capable county official under him. He is talented, prudent in work, and humble and gentle. The Xiao family is a wealthy family in Pei County, and Xiao He is the head of the clan. He has tried to win over Xiao He, but he does not accept this trick at all.

They just maintain a distant relationship. They seem to be close, but in fact they are just hypocritical politeness.

"What's the matter with him?"

"It is said that the pavilion chief of Sishui picked up a piece of silk in the mountains a few days ago, with a strange plow painted on it. The pavilion chief thought it was a bit strange, so he asked the temple craftsman to help build it. After testing, he found that this thing was actually a plow.

A powerful tool for promoting agriculture, it is much lighter than the plow currently used."

"The pavilion chief of Surabaya...is Cao Xiu?!"

"Exactly."

Bang!!!

Hu Wancang slammed the table and jumped up.

It turned out to be this thief Cao!

Did you pick it up from the mountains?

Why did you pick it up when others couldn’t?

Hu Wancang knew with his toes that this was definitely Cao Xiu's excuse. The so-called plow must have been designed by Cao Xiu himself, but as a Qin official it was inconvenient to show up, so he found such an excuse.

However, Hu Wancang is very strange.

What is the purpose of Cao Xiu doing this?

Want to use this to get promoted to a higher position?

He had previously intended to promote Cao Xiu to be a local mistress, but he rejected it. In terms of Cao Xiu's political achievements, he was simply a model for pavilion-level cadres in Peixian County, and he could have been promoted to a higher position early on.

Is it possible that this guy finally realized it?

"Quickly notify Xia Houying to prepare a rack. I am going to Surabaya Pavilion!"

"Wei!"

The subordinate officials did not dare to delay, so they quickly bowed and resigned.

……

……

Surabaya Pavilion, it’s noon. The farmland is crowded with people at this moment. The excitement is almost as good as the usual social festivals.

"This plow is very light."

"Hey, Nai Gong can carry both of them!"

"I just tried it in public, and it was not difficult to carry the plow."

"Easy? Try cultivating two acres of land!"

"You don't need to say much, second and third sons." Old Grandpa Liu leaned on his cane and said with emotion: "This plow is indeed a useful tool for promoting agriculture. The second and third sons have tried it just now, and it is much stronger than the previous plow. Mr. Pavilion, can you try using a field ox?

Pull the plow?"

"No problem."

Cao Xiu smiled and waved.

Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian stood in front of the field ridge and looked at the plow carefully. They never expected that this plow would be so useful. Especially with the addition of an adjustable plowshare, you can choose to plow deeply or shallowly. The plowshare is made of iron

Made into a V shape, it can save more effort when plowing the land.

These days, farming mainly relies on cattle, but a cow is divided among several families. If you offend Li Zheng, you will definitely be the last to get it. The life of a cow is more valuable than a human life. It eats three pieces of cud and drinks three hours. It has to rest for three days after working for one day.

, Don’t lose weight because you’re going to be whipped!

Because the plow is too heavy, it is very difficult to carry the plow with manpower. It often requires two or even three people to cultivate the land. Therefore, some people simply use the most primitive grass to plow the land, which is faster than manpower carrying the plow.

The emergence of Quyuanli can change the status quo.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a weapon for promoting agriculture!

Such a great achievement is enough to make Cao Xiu's title soar!

Fan Kuai personally brought the cattle from the field to Cao Xiu, and then carefully hitched the cattle to the plow. He was waving a willow branch and was responsible for directing from behind.

This cow belongs to Cao Xiu's personal property. It is an extremely strong Qinchuan cattle. Just such a cow is worth 6,000 yuan, and Cao Xiu can buy two slaves directly.

Although Fan Kuai is just a dog butcher, he is actually born with supernatural powers. He was very brave during his military service and won the attention of his superior generals. He also wanted to keep him in the army, but Fan Kuai refused.

He has a very good relationship with Cao Xiu. When he heard that he had created Qu Yuuli, he naturally came to support him. At this moment, Fan Kuai was shirtless and had a fierce look on his face. A few timid children only dared to hide behind his parents.

.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Fan Kuai shouted a chant and started moving.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Quyuanli.

Even though I already have the answer in my mind, I want to see it with my own eyes.
