Xiao Xi left, and he asked the emperor to go to the barren land in the south to be a small county magistrate.

The emperor was very shocked at first, and thousands of people disagreed, but Xiao Xi persuaded him with a few words.

Xiao Xi went back to the Xiao Mansion to explain the matter to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, and left with Xiao Taozi the next day.

The first day Xiao Taozi found out about this matter, he followed his young master away the next day.

Xiao Xi only brought enough money and the letter of appointment from the Celestial Dynasty, and rushed to take up the post. The journey was arduous, but Xiao Xi didn't delay a single bit.After rushing for a day and a night, they arrived the next morning. Both of them were quite tired, but they had some expectations in their hearts. After all, they had traveled through mountains and rivers.

The place where the two arrived was named "Shantian County". This is a poor county, mostly water and fields, and the people live on planting.

Having had enough rest on the first day here, Xiao Xi took the letter of appointment to report to the local county government.After finding the local county government, little Taozi was so ruined that his intestines were green!He really shouldn't have let his young master come to this place where no shit is done and chickens don't lay eggs!

Forget about poor counties, even a county government office is dilapidated like this, and his son will live in this government office that leaks when it rains?! No one would have imagined that on the first day he took office, Tao Zi set up a ladder and began to check the roofs. kind of repair.

Because Shandian County is too poor and backward, almost no officials are willing to come here, and the post of county magistrate has been vacant for a long time. Hearing that someone is willing to come, the local village chief immediately came to visit with gratitude*

On the same day, the village head led Xiao Xi to look around, and came to the paddy field, the largest area in Shandian County.As far as the eye can see, there are paddy fields where rice is grown, and farmers are plowing on it.

"This year's harvest was not good, and there was a plague of locusts. Many crops were destroyed by locusts. Many middle-aged people couldn't bear to lose their land and ran out. Now only these older people who can't get out are left. The people of Shandian County We all depend on this field for food and clothing, and no one is planting it now, if this continues, the people in Shandian County may even have food and clothing problems.” The village chief lowered his head and sighed, his expression completely slumped.

Xiao Xi couldn't help frowning, "This matter was reported to the Celestial Dynasty before, didn't the Celestial Dynasty send someone to solve the problem?"

"At first, there was, but later I couldn't stand the environment here, so I lied about the relief of the disaster and left in a hurry. If it could be solved at the beginning, it wouldn't have caused the loss of a large crop, and there would be no harvest at all this year! Master Xiao , I hope that you will come here and be able to diagnose and treat. The people of our Shandian County all depend on you!" The village chief was about to kneel down when he said that, but Xiao Xi hurriedly helped him up. It’s what we do together.”

"What effort? Young master, this is a big problem at all!"

As soon as he got back to the room, little Taozi couldn't help spitting grenade.

"My lord, we don't study agriculture, so how can we solve this locust plague?" Tao Zi grimaced bitterly.

Xiao Xi didn't say a word, just sat in the dilapidated chair that made a sizzling sound and thought deeply.

Seeing that he didn't speak, little Taozi didn't want to say any more, but he was faintly worried for his young master.

Here in heaven.

In the next morning, Chu Haotian went to the imperial study with a sullen face to look for his imperial brother.

"You sent Xiao Xi to that slum?"

Pushing the door hard, Chu Haotian didn't pay respects or call, and directly broke in with a questioning expression.

The veins in Chu Lingtian's head twitched faintly, but he finally endured it because he was his brother.

"He asked to go over by himself, and I can't stop him." Chu Lingtian said coldly.

"You are the emperor and you can't stop him?" Chu Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What's wrong with the emperor? I still can't stop you, let you break into the imperial study, and dare not punish you?" Chu Haotian's mood eased now, and he teased himself in a cool tone.

Chu Haotian frowned, "Brother Huang, what's going on?"

"I've already said that Xiao Xi volunteered to serve as a county magistrate in Shandian County in the south."

Chu Haotian turned around and went out after hearing the words.

"Stop!" Chu Lingtian's face turned serious, "You don't think you want to go to him, do you? You didn't see how much you cherished him when he was your princess before."

"Brother Huang, this is my private matter!" Chu Haotian turned his head and glanced at Chu Lingtian lightly.

"This is not your private matter! Recently, wild slaves are about to move, you shouldn't leave at this time!"

"Wild slave?" Chu Haotian frowned, "Isn't that in the southern border? How far is it from Xiao Xi's place?"

Hearing this, the veins in Chu Lingtian's brain twitched again, "It's hundreds of miles away, even if you do it, you won't be able to move Xiao Xi's place for a while."

"To deal with wild slaves, when will the emperor plan to suppress them?"

Chu Lingtian frowned, "You decide."

"Then let's go tomorrow!" Chu Haotian left after finishing speaking.

Chu Lingtian couldn't help laughing at his brother's slowness in feelings, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Xi asked himself if he would love Qi Er alone for a long time. In fact, he didn't know, but Qi Er was always on his mind, which was never before. thought.

It was agreed to leave the next day, but suddenly Chu Haotian had to delay for several days because of a sudden emergency.

At the same time, Xiao Xi had been staying in the room for two full days, writing out a series of plans for the rectification of Shandian County, and calling people to implement them one after another after he came out.

On this day, Xiao Xi followed the village chief to visit the people one by one, and Xiao Taozi followed behind him with a serious face.In Luoyue's place, he has learned some things. In this unfamiliar place, little Taozi must protect his young master!

But Shandian County has simple folk customs, and the residents here warmly welcome Xiao Xi, after all, how long will it take to wait for a county magistrate!

Little Taozi looked at the broken ground, and at the handsome appearance of his young master, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly with mixed feelings.

Xiao Xi has never studied agriculture, but has only read books on it, so on dealing with bee plagues, Xiao Xi found a lot of information to read in his free time.

Within half a month, almost all the people in Shandian County knew that an earnest county magistrate had arrived. He was very young, but he knew how to care about the people and was deeply loved by the people.

Xiao Xi did not live in the county government, but rented a very simple house to live in.

This morning, just as Xiao Xi got up, the aunt not far from next door came over with several strings of corn on the cob, each of which was thick and plump, and they were already cooked.

Xiao Xi evaded it for a while, knowing that he couldn't evade it, so he accepted it.After coming here for several days, occasionally there would be enthusiastic villagers to send things over. Xiao Xi evaded it several times, but now he just accepted it.

As soon as he left, little Taozi unceremoniously picked up the corn whistle.Xiao Xi looked up at him, "After eating, let's go to the rice fields.

"My lord, we don't seem to be here to be officials, but to go down to the fields."

Xiao Xi smiled and glanced at him, "Eat yours!"

Little Taozi pouted slightly, lowered his head and continued to eat corn.

After eating, the two walked out of the rice field. The villagers coming and going along the way greeted him enthusiastically, calling him "Lord Xiao."

Chu Haotian rushed to Shandian County alone, and drove a horse to inspect the rice fields everywhere. When he accidentally saw Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi was wearing plain clothes, with his sleeves rolled up high, with a smile on his mouth, I am helping with farm work with my feet stuck in the rice fields.

Chu Haotian stopped slowly, looking at Xiao Xi from afar at this moment, his eyes could not help but soften, with a trace of nostalgia.

After watching for a while, Chu Haotian suddenly frowned, isn't Xiao Xi the magistrate?Why do you go down to the fields and do this kind of farm work yourself?

Driving the horse close to the rice field, Chu Haotian walked to the rice field on horseback.Xiao Xi was too focused on doing things, and didn't notice the person next to him, until the person called him, Xiao Xi raised his head slightly blankly, and looked straight into the eyes of the person when he raised his head, and was completely stunned.

Seeing that Xiao Xi ignored him, Chu Haotian couldn't help but frowned, and shouted again, "Xiao Xi."

Xiao Xi came back to his senses, his eyes were full of surprise, "Why is the prince here?"

Chu Haotian raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm just here to take a look! Come out," Xiao Xi came out of the rice field, washed his feet with water and put on his shoes before walking to Chu Antian.

What Chu Haotian thought in his heart was that Xiao Xi's feet turned out to be pretty!

"My lord, is there something you need to come here to find me?" Xiao Xi looked at him wonderingly, but didn't think about anything else in his heart.

"It's nothing, just come and have a look." Chu Haotian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the rice fields behind him, and joked, "You county magistrate is really close to the people, you go to the fields to do farm work by yourself."

"Just want to try." Xiao Xi didn't want to say too much.

"Today I'm going to rest here for the night, you can find a place!"

"Well..." Xiao Xi led Chu Haotian to the county government office, and wanted to place him in the county government office, but Chu Haotian was dissatisfied.

"Where do you live?"

"I have another place to live, but... I may not be able to accommodate the prince, and the prince is of high status. I am afraid that he will be wronged if he lives with me." Lead the way! "Chu Haotian ignored his words directly.

Xiao Xi wanted to argue but was speechless, Chu Haotian's attitude was tough, Xiao Xi could only step forward and lead the way.

Arriving at Xiao Xi's residence, Chu Haotian frowned even deeper, "You live in this kind of place?" It's a thatched cottage! ?

"En." Xiao Xi nodded lightly, "My lord, you'd better go back to the county government office!"

Chu Haotian snorted coldly, "Prepare a room for me to come out."

Xiao Xi was helpless.

Little Taozi went to the woods to collect firewood, and was just about to tie it up when there was a slight commotion not far away.

After thinking for a while, little Taozi jumped up a tree and hid himself.

After a while, a flash of swords and swords came from far and near.Little Taozi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could see that it was a figure fighting against a group of men in black, struggling to escape while fighting?

Little Taozi didn't think too much about it, he just wondered if this small Shandian County would attract such troubles?Looking down again, those people were getting closer and closer to him, little Taozi breathed lightly, his eyes narrowed suddenly, why is that figure being hunted down so familiar?
