Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 120 Zhizhou visits to show off his might

Early the next morning, all the people in the yamen were mobilized, and all the farmers in the county were notified.

"Why is the county magistrate suddenly wanting to raise ducks again?"

"I don't know, our county magistrate has always been unpredictable..."

"Never mind him, didn't the poor man say that it doesn't cost money to help the magistrate raise ducks, and there are labor fees to earn! My old lady is in good health, and my wife and dolls can also help. Since there is money to make, why not Is it too happy? I heard that farmers in Laizhou County have raised a lot of poultry, and they will leave later, will you go with them?"

"Take me one."

"I'll go as well."

"Can't you wait? I plan to get the money from the county master before going..."

"What kind of money? We, Master Qingtian, are you still worried that he will cheat you? How much will it cost to buy a few ducks? No, I'll help you with it first!"

"That's okay..."

People can't understand what Qin Feng does, but they have long been used to it.

Because Qin Feng's actions that made them unable to watch before, the final result surprised them greatly.

Out of trust in Qin Feng, [-]% of the people in Ninghai County followed Qin Feng's instructions.

Some of them went out on the same day, some came back on the same day, and some ran a long way, and only came back the next day or two days. Many people returned empty-handed, because all the adult ducks and ducklings in Dengzhou were sold out.

According to Qin Feng's statistics, there are about 20 ducks in Ninghai County, and an average household has five or six ducks.

This is half less than Qin Feng's plan, but 20 ducks seems to be about the same.

"Pass down the order so that the farmers can keep them alive. This duck is the property of this official. Within two months, not a single duck is allowed to die!"

"Yes!"

Ninghai County's frantic buying of ducks quickly spread throughout Dengzhou.

After Su Jin heard the news, her whole body was in a bad mood.

"What is this Qin Feng doing? I lent him money to control locusts, but he bought all the ducks? Could it be that he wants to use these ducks to solve the famine after the disaster..."

"He... Will he settle accounts? A family of five or six ducks, no matter how frugal they are, can only eat for a few days... Without food, how can the farmers survive the winter?"

Su Jin was frowning. When she lent Qin Feng money, she still had a little confidence in Qin Feng, but now... this confidence is rapidly disappearing.

Su Sheng was also restless at the side: "Miss, this is 10 taels of silver, even for the Su family, it is not a small sum, if it is not recovered... Will those people threaten the eldest lady?" Your status..."

Su Jin closed her eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then opened them suddenly: "It's okay, they probably don't have the guts yet!"

……

The gentry in Ninghai also got together when they heard the news that Qin Feng bought ducks.

"This Qin Feng, what the hell is he doing?"

"I don't know. He asked the farmers to buy a flock of ducks. He paid for it. Including the feed money, the 10 taels of silver was almost spent by him."

"Is it possible that he still expects a group of ducks to help him control the locusts? A joke."

"The more confused he is, the better for us. This year, let's just watch him make a fool of himself. When he can't pay taxes and feed the victims, we will file a joint petition... I don't believe it, and we can't bring him down." He is a little magistrate!"

Zhang Shun suddenly changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about Qin Feng. Everyone, I have reliable news that the new magistrate has already taken office, and he will come to Ninghai County today. Should we prepare in advance? Do you want to deal with it? How about dealing with Qin Feng in the future?"

"Of course it is necessary to take some care, but what is more important today is to see what happened to Qin Feng!"

"What can happen to Qin Feng?"

Zhang Shun took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is a circular letter from Zhizhou, it's for Qin Feng, I just asked me to stop it a few days ago, and confuse this circular letter! Now this Qin Feng is not Knowing that Master Zhizhou is coming...we are like this..."

Zhang Shun and the others whispered a few words.

……

That afternoon, Zhizhou really rushed over from the state capital, and the gentry greeted him outside the city, first invited Zhizhou to Hu Lai's mansion, and treated him well.

This Zhizhou has a fat head and big ears, and he was moved down from the capital's official left. He has a fleshy face and a dignified look.

Several squires served him comfortably and kept complimenting him.

"I don't know what business is Mr. Zhizhou coming to Ninghai for?"

Hu Lai poured Zhizhou a glass of wine and asked.

The magistrate was not polite, he drank the wine in one gulp, wiped his face, and said: "I am following the order of the magistrate, and went to the counties to teach the law of controlling locusts. A few days ago, I sent a circular letter, What is the surname of your magistrate in Ninghai County? You didn’t even send anyone out to greet you? You simply don’t know how to be polite!!”

When Hu Lai and the others heard that the magistrate was dissatisfied with Qin Feng, they immediately beamed with joy, and said in agreement: "To tell you the truth, the magistrate of this county is named Qin Feng, and he is not polite at all!"

"He was disrespectful to his boss, not once or twice."

"That's right, the former Zhizhou, in front of this Qin Feng, has been angry..."

"Yes, my lord, if you want to face this Qin Feng, be careful, he can also play tricks and tricks. The former magistrate told him to play tricks and take off his official clothes."

Several squires hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to arrange Qin Feng.

When the fat Zhizhou heard this, he threw the wine glass on the table: "Huh! I gave him ten guts, but he didn't dare to play any tricks on me! This official came down from a high position in the capital!" , What have you never seen before? This official is from the fifth rank, a small seventh rank county magistrate, dare to be presumptuous to this official?"

"When I meet him, if he acts presumptuously, I will slash him with a sword!"

The Zhizhou obviously didn't know that Qin Feng had been promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, and shouted drunkenly.

"Master Zhizhou is mighty!"

Several squires kept flattering, without saying anything, but they all shouted in their hearts: "You can chop this Qin Feng quickly!"

After eating, the plump Zhizhou came to the county yamen with great fanfare under the support of the accompanying officials, and all the country gentry followed behind.

The yamen servant at the door saw his official clothes, and knew that he was a high-ranking official, so he hurried up to greet him: "The villain kowtows to Mr. Zhizhou."

"Go away!"

Zhizhou kicked over the yamen servant at the door, and snorted coldly: "Your county magistrate, Qin Feng, where is he? Tell him to come out and see me!"

The yamen servant didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately got up, nodded and returned: "My lord is in the mansion, I'm going to report back now..."

"Hurry up! Tell Qin Feng that the official has already sent a circular letter, but he turned a blind eye to it. This is disrespectful to the officer! You pass on my words and tell him...to come out to see me on his knees!"

Zhizhou swayed his body, his mouth twisted, full of majesty.

Many people surrounded him, looking at Zhizhou's appearance, they couldn't help sweating for Qin Feng.
