Leading the horse into the village, the villager bravely begged for mercy: "Village Chief, please forgive me. I just lost my head and didn't recognize the Village Chief."

"Well done, I'll reward you."

As Han Zhen said this, he took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed them over.

Na Xiangyong was stunned for a moment, then took the money with a smile and thanked him repeatedly.

When other villagers saw him, they all looked envious.

Han Zhen glanced at Xiang Yong. After this period of time, although these people were still so thin, their complexions were obviously much better.

The cottage has not changed much since the last time I left.

The only difference is that there are more farmlands in the village.

We arrived at Juyi Hall by a familiar route and saw Ma Sangou discussing with Zhang Yi.

"Brother Han!"

Hearing the footsteps, Ma Sangou couldn't help but raise his head. When he saw that the person coming was Han Zhen, he suddenly expressed surprise.

Zhang Yi bowed and saluted and called the village chief.

"I came to do some errands today, and I happened to come over to visit you." Han Zhen said and walked into the Juyi Hall.

Ma Sangou glanced behind him and asked, "Didn't Xiaochong and the others come?"

"Now that I have arranged errands for them, they are all very busy."

Han Zhen pulled up a wide chair and sat down, and asked casually: "How are you doing in the cottage lately?"

"Very good. Let Mr. Zhang tell you the details."

Ma Sangou has adapted to it now, and the embarrassment and anxiety at the beginning have long gone.

Hearing this, Zhang Yihui on the side reported: "Reporting to the village chief, during this period, a total of 87 households have fled to the village, totaling 469 people. The villagers in the village have reclaimed more than 2,400 acres of farmland.

.”

Two thousand four hundred acres of farmland sounds like a lot.

But in fact, the fertility of the newly reclaimed wasteland is not good, so it takes one or two years to plant soybeans and cultivate the land before planting corn and wheat.

Therefore, don’t expect any good harvests from these abandoned fields in the first two years.

Han Zhen said: "Are there any difficulties in the village?"

"have!"

Zhang Yi nodded: "Farm tools and some daily supplies are not enough."

Han Zhen wrote lightly: "There is no need to worry about these. Now I have secured the county seat. If I need anything in the future, I can go to the county seat to purchase it by myself."

The county seat was captured?

This news made Ma Sangou and Zhang Yi stunned, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

This news is really shocking.

After a while, the two of them came back to their senses.

Goulon!

Ma Sangou swallowed his saliva and said blankly: "Second Brother Han, then we are considered to be rebelling?"

In their concept, conquering the county seat is tantamount to breaking the sky.

I'm afraid that within a few days, the imperial court will send a large army to suppress them.

Seeing this, Han Zhen comforted him: "Don't worry, there won't be a large army coming to suppress us in the short term."

"Daddy, goddaddy, look what I caught."

At this moment, a childish voice sounded outside the lobby.

Immediately afterwards, a little girl in pink and jade ran in with short legs. She was the daughter of the little woman.

Seeing Han Zhen's strange expression, Ma Sangou blushed and explained awkwardly: "I...I just saw how pitiful they were for orphans and widowed mothers, so I helped them a few times, and we became familiar with them after going back and forth."

There's nothing wrong with her. Han Zhen also felt sorry for An Niang at the beginning.

After being with him for so long, this guy hasn't learned much, but he has learned a lot in this regard.

Han Zhen joked: "In just a few days, I called you my godfather. I'm afraid that next time I come back, I will become my biological father."

"hey-hey!"

Ma Sangou sneered twice, turned to the little girl and said softly: "What did the little girl catch?"

"Here!"

The little girl raised her hand proudly, holding a cicada in her small hand.

"My little girl is so awesome, can you help your godfather catch one too?"

"good."

After coaxing the little girl out, Ma Sangou asked, "How many days will Brother Han plan to stay in the village?"

"I'll leave in a moment."

"In such a hurry?"

Ma Sangou said in surprise.

"There are still a lot of things going on in the village, and since you are here in Songshan Village, I feel relieved."

After patting him on the shoulder, Han Zhen told Zhang Yi a few more words and then rode back to the county seat.

There was still half an hour before the midnight hour, but the soldiers gathered outside the county government office early.

One thousand shi of grain have all been loaded onto the oxcart.

"Set off!"
Chapter completed!
