Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 131 Why do you still want to taste something hard
The prefect was suddenly at a loss for words.

He is not blind either, as far as he has seen, the situation in Ninghai County is not serious at all, only a few migratory locusts are occasionally seen, and even the crops in the field are growing very well. As Qin Feng said, increase grain production.

But the more this is the case, the more he can't let Qin Feng go.

Why?Because the eldest prince said, Qin Feng must not be allowed to make too much noise, he must not be called to have political achievements, and he must not be asked to be promoted!

In this year of disaster, the food production in all the disaster-stricken areas has decreased. If it is only here in Qin Feng's place, it will increase instead of decrease. Once the news is spread and the higher-ups know about it, how can it be possible not to reward Qin Feng?

This is definitely a political achievement!
Qin Feng was promoted to the fifth rank in the previous suppression of the bandits. If he is asked to be promoted again, even if it is only a raw rank, the magistrate will not accept it.

If he is promoted to another rank, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with him. If he is promoted to two ranks, then he, the magistrate, will have to kneel down when he sees Qin Feng, a county magistrate!
When that day really came, how could he be embarrassed?

Therefore, no matter what, the people of Ninghai must be asked to harvest in advance!

After making up his mind, the magistrate decided to be tough. He said rigidly, "Stop talking nonsense. Harvesting in advance is ordered by the imperial court. If you refuse, you are disobeying the imperial court! Someone, pass on the order of the prefecture and tell all the farmers to immediately All the grain in the field has been harvested! Those who disobey the order will be beheaded on the spot!"

"Yes!"

All the subordinates responded.

This time when he came to Ninghai, the magistrate specially brought more than ten yamen servants, just for the sake of convenience.

Although there are not many people, but he is the magistrate, and he has an official position here, so he is not afraid of resistance from others.

Disobeying the court order is a capital offense!

Unexpectedly, just as the people on the magistrate's side were about to take action, Qin Feng chased up the county's yamen servants with a clatter behind him!
"Protect Master Qin!"

In the past few months, Qin Feng has expanded the number of yamen servants in Ninghai County to more than [-] people for the sake of convenience.

Now these three people are mobilizing in full force, and surrounded the magistrate's people in a huff, all of them holding the handle of the knife, and they are ready to fight if they disagree.

The magistrate was shocked: "Qin Feng! You, what are you going to do? Tell them to evacuate quickly. You dare to move even the people in this mansion. You are so brave!"

Qin Feng sneered: "Master Zhifu, if I, Qin Feng, own the fields and crops in Ninghai County alone, then the Lord Zhifu orders harvesting, and Qin Feng can rely on you."

"Unfortunately, this crop is not owned by someone from Qin. The crops harvested in the field are for the common people to eat and survive. If you ask people to harvest early, what is the difference from cutting their flesh?"

"If there is not enough food, there will be a famine. At that time, the common people will not be able to eat. Do you care about it or not?"

Qin Feng's plausible words made the magistrate speechless. After a long time, he hesitated and replied: "This government is only implementing the imperial court's order. The people can't eat, so what does this government have to do with it?"

"Bullshit! Being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, why don't you go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

Qin Feng said a wise saying that he had heard when he was a child in his previous life.

"You don't care about the life and death of my farmers in Ninghai County, but I, Qin Feng, can't just sit idly by."

"Left and right! Please invite the prefect and the subordinates he brought to the Yamen as guests, so that you can serve them well. Until the locust plague is over and the food is harvested!"

Qin Feng ordered directly.

"Qin Feng...you, you dare!"

The prefect panicked.

"Master Zhifu, please be a guest, what are you daring or not?"

Qin Feng replied with a smile.

"Nonsense, you said you were a guest, but in fact, you want to put me under house arrest!"

"You can also understand it in this way. But seeing how reluctant the magistrate is...Could it be that the lord still wants Qin to come to you hard?"

Qin Feng, who was squinting, suddenly opened a crack in his eyelids, and his sharp gaze swung in front of the magistrate like a knife.

The prefect suddenly misfired.

Come hard?What do you mean?
hit him?Kill him?
The magistrate dared not think about it.

No wonder the First Prince asked him to watch Qin Feng carefully. At first, he didn't understand how the little county magistrate Qin Feng could fall into the eyes of the First Prince. Now it seems that this Qin Feng...is not an ordinary person!
"take away!"

When Qin Feng gave an order, the servants immediately took the magistrate and his subordinates out of the field.

The farmers who knelt together thought that this year was over, and the magistrate was older than the county magistrate. They thought that Qin Feng would definitely obey the magistrate's order and tell them to harvest early.

At that time, every household will be hungry.

No one expected that Qin Feng would be so tough!
Directly take the magistrate to... away!

"Master Qingtian!"

"Thank you Lord Qin for protecting our crops!"

"Thank you, Mr. Qin..."

Gratitude came one after another.

"Fellow folks, don't thank me. Get up quickly and continue to control locusts. The plague of locusts is raging. Don't take it lightly!"

Qin Fengxu raised his hand and asked the farmers to stand up.

The farmers were overwhelmed with gratitude. Today, they would wish everyone would call Qin Feng "Papa Qin".

This is simply loving the people like a son, and an official better than the emperor!

……

Ninghai County, the Su family's old house.

Su Jin paced back and forth in the yard, she didn't go out these days.

Firstly, she came from a delicate background and didn't want to be infested by migratory locusts. Secondly, he didn't think Qin Feng could have any way to deal with the locust plague. He just felt that he had made a wrong bet this time.

Suddenly, the door was knocked, and the servants opened it, and Su Sheng walked in with a happy face.

"Uncle Sheng... is this plague of locusts serious?"

"Serious! It's too serious. This year's locust plague is the only one I've ever seen in my life!"

"Ah? So serious? Then you, how can you still laugh..."

Su Jin was frowning. She pinned all her hopes of controlling the locusts on Qin Feng, and under the pressure of the elders in the clan, she lent 10 taels of silver, but after more than a month, she didn't see what happened to Qin Feng. He used money to control locusts, but I heard that he bought a lot of ducks for the common people to raise for him.

Now that the locust plague is serious, Qin Feng can't handle it, which makes Su Jin feel like he's in a mess.

When she came, she was worried that what would the farmers do if they were hit by a disaster?
Secondly, I feel sorry for the 10 taels of silver. If I knew it was like this, I might as well save the money to buy food from other places for disaster relief.

Su Sheng grinned and said to Su Jin: "Don't be impatient, Miss, this locust plague is indeed severe, but Master Qin is even more powerful!"

"Ok?"

"It turns out that Lord Qin asked the common people to raise ducks to control the locusts! Now those ducks are dispatched to meet the locust plague, and eat the locust plague as a delicacy!"

Su Sheng described what he had seen and heard in detail, and when he said it, his eyebrows were beaming, his voice was vivid, and he was full of spit.

As Su Jin listened, his forehead gradually stretched out, and a smile finally appeared on his face: "So he...had a plan earlier? He used this method to control locusts, and...is it effective?"
