County Magistrate Hu said his mouth was dry, and he licked his chapped lips and asked the villagers in the village:

"Do you understand what I said?"

The villagers were slightly hunched over, silent.

I understood it, but they didn't dare to believe it.

To be honest, if it weren't for being pressed by the inner leader, these villagers would have run away long ago. They were afraid when they saw the yamen runners, let alone the county magistrate.

The previous county magistrate Zhu was such a vicious person. The people in Qin'an County have all heard of the bad reputation of county magistrate Zhu.

Any daughter who looks a little more distinctive is afraid to let her enter the county town, for fear that she will be snatched back and ruined by County Chief Zhu.

The current county magistrate Hu is said to be highly valued by Lord Cheng, but in the past, he was a good person who was mingled with County magistrate Zhu?

I am afraid that I will pretend well in front of Lord Cheng, so when Lord Cheng leaves, my true colors will be revealed again!

The villagers have never read books, and they are not smart, but they have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. The elderly in the village have a lot of knowledge. They say that Lord Cheng is a good official who is difficult to meet for decades. Lord Cheng will definitely not be adulterated if he wants to help everyone. However, Lord Cheng is an official of the court, which is like a brick. The court can move wherever he wants. When Lord Cheng leaves Qin'an County and changes to other magistrates, the government orders issued by Lord Cheng will be changed.

They dared to borrow the money from Lord Cheng, but they dared not borrow the money from other officials and men.

If you borrow a tael of silver, your descendants will not be able to pay it back clearly. Why bother to come!

I dare not borrow money, nor dare not come to listen to the preaching of County Magistrate Hu, so the embarrassing scene of County Magistrate Hu's speech, and the words were dry, and the sound of the words below appeared. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the gaze of County Magistrate Hu.

This official's authority is so powerful?

County Magistrate Hu was not happy at all.

Now is not the time for officials to be powerful. If the villagers have not responded, how would Lord Cheng view him?

When the new official takes office, he will do the first thing he does. County Magistrate Hu will not have any face.

County Magistrate Hu was puzzled and his tone was a little heavier. The villagers were so scared that they were trembling as if they were bullied.

County Magistrate Hu had no choice but to catch the village chief and ask questions.

After some bang, the inner captain was forced to tell the truth.

County Magistrate Hu took a deep breath.

He could not scold the villagers, saying that the villagers were worried about nothing.

After Cheng Qing left, he would not know who would be the magistrate of Qin'an? County Magistrate Hu didn't know.

County Magistrate Hu once thought that it was possible, but he was just thinking about it.

Qin An cannot always be a "county". Sooner or later, it will be promoted to "prefecture". It is okay to be promoted to a county magistrate, but he must be a magistrate... Hu County Magistrate is not a regular official in the scientific expedition, and he dare not even dream of doing this.

County Magistrate Hu told Cheng Qing about the concerns of the villagers. Cheng Qing was taking Wuhan University to inspect the new city wall with the progress of the inspection. She hoped that the new city wall would come in handy before this winter.

After hearing the reply from Hu County Magistrate Hu, Cheng Qing smiled and encouraged him: "Old Hu, you have to work harder. I know it is difficult to reverse the impression of the villagers, but there is always a way to do this. If you don't let the villagers trust you, how can you change Qin An's new look?"

County Magistrate Hu was ashamed.

After all, it is still the disaster left by previous actions.

Although County Chief Zhu and Wei Zhubo were punished, he was still a member of the two in the eyes of the villagers.

County Magistrate Hu murmured: "What the villagers trust is the adults..."

If Lord Cheng is willing to go to the countryside, the effect will be better than if he goes ten times.

Cheng Qing asked him back: "I can go this way. When my official is transferred, who should the people of Qin'an trust? County Magistrate Hu, everyone's chances in their life are determined. If you miss it once, you may not have a second time."

Cheng Qing's words seemed to be implying something, and County Magistrate Hu's heart thumped.

Lord Cheng means—

The county magistrate Hu bowed: "The officials dare not let down the expectations of the adults."

Wu Da didn't expect that Cheng Qing would openly approve the official position. This seemed to be inconsistent with Cheng Qing's usual temperament. Wu Da wanted to speak but stopped.

"Say whatever you want, without hesitation."

"You seem to be optimistic about County Magistrate Hu."

Cheng Qing nodded, "Everyone has shortcomings. I have them, and County Magistrate Hu also has them. Fortunately, this person can still do things and can barely use them."

Cheng Qing is indeed optimistic about County Magistrate Hu and wants County Magistrate Hu to take over as the position of "Qin'an County Magistrate".

County Magistrate Hu participated in her development plan for Qin An from beginning to end, and was one of the executors of the plan. If someone else was replaced, it would be better to let County Magistrate Hu take office.

Moreover, County Magistrate Hu’s son is her student. The Hu family expects Hu Xiaolang to have a great future. As long as Cheng Qing does not fall for a day, County Magistrate Hu will not change his course.

County Magistrate Hu has obvious advantages and many disadvantages.

Only scholars have a fame and fortune, and it is not easy to go from a classic to a county magistrate, and they are no longer young. Cheng Qing can guarantee that he will become the magistrate of Qin'an, and he will not be able to take care of his future affairs.

Cheng Qing looked at Qin An's new city wall and said to himself:

"The progress needs to be faster."

No matter how fast you are, you need to recruit more civilians.

Qin'an County has a limited population. In addition to the civil servants under the county's jurisdiction, those who built the city walls also had paid civil servants hired from several nearby prefectures and counties. The construction speed has reached its limit.

Wuhan University once heard that it took several years to build city walls in other counties. Qin An was already very fast. He didn't understand why Cheng Qing was so anxious.

Cheng Qing couldn't say it either.

In theory, the hidden dangers of Pingliang Prefecture have been solved, and Lanzhou City is under the control. Even if Agula starts another war this winter, Qin'an will not affect Qin'an in the hinterland of the northwest.

For some reason, Cheng Qing felt empty and panicked.

This place is getting better and better as she imagined.

If it is affected by the war, the foundation laid with hard work will be destroyed overnight.

Regardless of whether she was thinking too much, just repair the new city wall quickly to ensure safety.

County Magistrate Hu was inspired by Cheng Qing and worked hard for Cheng Qing's promised "future". His hard work paid off. During his repeated visits to the countryside, some villagers were finally moved by County Magistrate Hu and borrowed silver from the yamen.

This money will not be distributed to the villagers in cash. The villagers eventually receive seedlings. County Magistrate Hu would go to the countryside every few days to see the lambs raised by the villagers, for fear that the villagers would raise the sheep to death.

The villagers were afraid of County Magistrate Hu at first. As County Magistrate Hu came more often, they became more courageous.

In the eyes of the villagers, Hu County Magistrate is also a knowledgeable person. When the villagers encounter something they don’t understand, they can’t help but ask Hu County Magistrate.

County Magistrate Hu didn't know about farming. He was forced to ask his son Hu Xiaolang for advice. Hu Xiaolang took the group homework back to see in the county school. County Magistrate Hu didn't feel guilty at all when copying his son's homework. He worked in the yamen during the day and went home at night to replenish his breeding knowledge.

In this case, County Magistrate Hu seemed to be changing to a technical official in two months. Once, when he met Shao Dahu in the county, he talked about animal husbandry with Shao Dahu, which scared Shao Dahu.

County Magistrate Hu was stunned.

This is a fool to learn to be a demon.

The madness of not being deviled has not been successful. Since the county magistrate Hu abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he has undergone quantitative changes little by little. Now, he has ushered in qualitative changes.

The county magistrate Hu went from a junior official to a dictionary, from a dictionary to a county magistrate, and fought for money and power. As Cheng Qing said, even for the future of his son Hu Xiaolang, he would have to be diligent and diligent in the future to be the magistrate of Qin'an.

But the first time County Magistrate Hu felt that he was not for money, not for power, or even for his children and grandchildren's future, but for his own official position.

This feeling is both strange and wonderful.
