Chapter 73: Eat Comfortably

As Chen Xi said, Zhao Yun and Jian Yong came back at noon the next day, but they were both energetic and in a good mood. After all, in this era anyone who sees the piece of grain after a good harvest will be very happy.

"Jian Yong, Zhao Yun, have you checked the taxes in each counties?" Chen Xi asked the two of them by pouring a cup of tea.

"Big harvest, except for some people who planted late, people everywhere have already entered the autumn harvest. Next year we won't have to live so tightly." Jian Yong looked excited, and he also had a lot of credit for this.

"Zhao Yun, you also agreed, then take these things away when you leave. The people near Taishan sent it to you. I am already eating my share." Chen Xi said to Zhao Yun with his head sideways, and then pointed to a few baskets in the corner of the government office, which contained chestnuts, pine nuts, and some mushrooms.

These nuts and mushrooms are mountain treasures are all brought to Zhao Yun by the people after the autumn harvest began in the past few days. Thanking him for the work he has done during this period of time. Zhao Yun may not accept them, but Chen Xi will not refuse. Anyway, he feels that he can eat comfortably and is naturally unceremonious.

There are also things for Chen Xi and Liu Bei, but compared to Zhao Yun who has been running around, there are a lot less for Chen Xi and Liu Bei. There is no way. Zhao Yun handling of the people with the Tuntian system during this period is obvious to all. In this era, those who can meet an official who treats the people as the people are naturally grateful.

"Chen Xi, how can you receive gifts from the people? It is not easy for the people all year round. Picking these things is also considerable hard work. How can you eat the pine nuts so comfortably." Zhao Yun heard that these pine nuts were all sent by the people and immediately stopped grabbing the pine nuts with his right hand, and said with a righteous expression.

After running around for more than three months, Zhao Yun can be regarded as having seen the suffering of the people at the bottom. Working at sunrise and resting only at sunset, facing the loess every day to plant the food in the fields, begging God for blessing, begging for the benevolence of officials, and only hoping to have full meals in the coming year.

The more he walks, the more he sees, then the anger in Zhao Yun's chest becomes more vigorous, and the more he feels how heavy the burden on his shoulders is. For the first time, he feels that he should learn more about farming, even if it can only help the people for three or five nights, it is also a merit, which is even more glorious than him slaying enemy generals. It is a pity that he does not understand farming, he can only help the people within his own ability.

Chen Xi told him that there are some old farmers who plant the land all year round and can grow stuff well. If you want everyone to be as productive as these old farmers, you should look for these old farmers and talk to them to see if you can get those humble ones to teach you. Zhao Yun traveled all over Taishan, using his own eyes to see the best-growing piece of grain, and then went to find the owner of the land to asked about the technique to farming.

Zhao Yun ran for three months and ran all over Taishan. He found all the techniques he could find and taught them to others as much as possible. Therefore, the residents of Taishan county may not know Liu Bei, but they definitely know Zhao Yun in white robe. Because Zhao Yun has been running throughout the farmland.

To be honest, when Chen Xi knew this, he admired Zhao Yun's spirit very much, because he couldn't do it. He was very good at things like moving his mouth, but he couldn't do things like running and breaking his legs for it.

Chen Xi believes that maybe Zhao Yun was not good at farming before, but when he raised the spear and confronted Chen Xi because of the Tuntian system, his understanding of farming was no weaker than that of an old farmer. Even if Zaoyi came here, he might not be able to surpass Zhao Yun in farming, at least Zaoyi didn't have the energy to run all over Chenliu to collect all the farming techniques, and Zhao Yun had already run around Taishan county.

"Zhao Yun, you must accept these things. If you don't accept them and the people will not leave because they are not at ease. They will recognize you, Zhao Yun. As long as you accept them, they will believe that you will lead them to open up the wasteland next year. You will also lead them to implement this year's decree. If you don't accept it, there will be a group of people kneeling at your door tomorrow, and they will drag their daughters with them." Chen Xi broke a pine nut, and after eating the nuts, he raised his head. He looked at Zhao Yun and said solemnly.

"Chen Xi is right. You must accept it. We also confiscated it at the beginning, but the people kept waiting there with the package, then went back at night, and came again the next day without speaking." Lu Su also took a pine nut, break it apart, eat it, and said, "They want peace of mind. Only if you eat what they give, will they believe that you will not change this year's decree. This style is simple but effective."

"It's that simple." Chen Xi nodded, "You can try not to accept it. Anyway, someone will come and give it to you. You can try."

Before Chen Xi's voice die down, there was a little old man dressed in linen with a patched on his back carrying a small basket entered the government office. Ever since someone gave gifts uninterruptedly, Chen Xi and Lu Su also did not stopped people from entering the government office.

"The little old man has seen the county guard, the county chief, Mr. Jian, and Mr. Zhao." After putting down his basket, the little old man saluted a few people with a little fear, but he was obviously excited after seeing Zhao Yun.

"The old gentleman can be at ease." Chen Xi smiled, took a cushion from the side, walked over, and handed it to the old man. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed in the government office, and all cushions are reserved for someone.

The little old man hurriedly rejected Chen Xi's cushion, and was finally pressed down by Chen Xi, only to see him sitting on the cushion carefully. He took the basket behind him and took off the linen wrap.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for leading our village to open up wasteland this year and for teaching us farming techniques. We, Zhuangzi, don't have any good gifts to thank you with. This is the jujube from this old man jujube tree in Zhuangzi. Please accept it. "

Chen Xi glanced at the basket of red dates, each brightly lit, and he knew it was a first-class pollution-free green product.

Zhao Yun verbally declined, and then the little old man panicked. He kept saying good things to Zhao Yun, hoping that he would accept it, then Zhao Yun began to explain to the little old man that he would do the same next year and would not change the general direction. What he said made the old man feel relieved, and then the old man took the gift back. It was enough to reach his heart. As a result, the old man who was stumbling immediately spoke fluently, indicating that if Zhao Yun did not accept his date, he would not go back...

The little old man left and the date stayed. Chen Xi took a bite of it and looked at Zhao Yun. "Zhao Yun, what do you think?"

"I always feel a little guilty." Zhao Yun sighed. The short breath had some heroic air in it.

"It's a good thing to feel guilty. By next year, you will compensate all the guilt in the government affairs, and do a better job in government affairs so that the people can live better." Chen Xi continued to eat jujube. Anyway, he is not as upright as Zhao Yun, so he sits there and eat. You only need to have a clear conscience when dealing with government affairs.

"Think about what we have brought to the people of Taishan, and you will have the conscience to eat it. Anyway, I have a clear conscience." Chen Xi ate the jujube and said that he had a clear conscience while eating.
