Chapter 676: I Don’t Understand but I Am Shocked! How Can There Be People Who Give Gifts to Seek Death?

Yan Chen was not far away.

Yan Chen, who heard the whole conversation, ran over and bowed repeatedly: "Yan County is absolutely not like this, absolutely not like this!"

Yan Kuo slapped Yan Chen in the face and shouted angrily: "You are the thief who slandered my Yan County?!"

"What is your name, thief, and who sent you here!"

Although Yan Chen was Yan Kuo's cousin, Yan Kuo slapped him mercilessly.

As soon as the slap was removed, Yan Chen's cheeks were obviously red.

Yan Chen didn't care about the pain on his cheek, but just shouted: "Misunderstanding! It's all misunderstanding!"

"Our Yan County is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and we are even more ruthless in dealing with bandits!"

"What the common people just said to Shangguan is just because a group of bandits came to Yan County recently, so there may be some trouble."

"Of course, we Yan County people are spontaneously suppressing bandits, and Yan County soldiers are also patrolling every day. I think it won't take long to restore peace to Yan County!"

Wu Qing asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Yan Kuo made a look of realization, patted his forehead and said: "It is true!"

"Recently, a group of bandits have been roaming here. The officials were also leading the elimination of bandits and clearing up the gangs, but they never thought that the common people were also spontaneously suppressing the bandits. "

"It's just that this fact is a trivial matter, so I haven't told you superiors."

Wu Qing frowned and said, "Such things are trivial for county officials, but they are big things for the Agricultural Research Office."

"Most of my colleagues in the Agricultural Research Office live in the fields, without the protection of the city walls."

"Safety in the country is particularly important!"

"Such precious talents cannot be involved in dangerous places!"

Yan Kuo was ruthless in his heart, and stretched out three fingers and said, "Three days!"

"At most three days, Yan County will be safe and sound!"

All the bandits near Yan County are either related to the Yan family, or to Xiong Liu and Qu Qiu.

As long as the three work together, Yan County can maintain peace for a period of time!

Wu Qing still took a step back and shook his head: "Or, I'd better take another look."

"The territory of Nanjun is very vast, and Yan County is not bad."

"I can't bear to trouble the officials of Yan County too much for the purpose of judging the farmland."

You are not bad?

We are bad!

Yan Kuo took out two golden beans from his arms, secretly stuffed them into Wu Qing's hands, and whispered: "Misunderstandings, indeed all misunderstandings."

"Yan County is a big county in Nanjun. I dare say that Yan County is definitely the safest place in Nanjun."

"Wu Yanpan doesn't need to worry too much, at least take a look first!"

Feeling the golden beans in his hand, Wu Qing panicked: "This, this, this, this is not possible! This is against the law!"

"Yan Yuyuan, take it back quickly!"

Looking at Wu Qing's unconcealed panic, Yan Kuo was delighted.

This person has never been given gifts, at least not many gifts!

His focus was on whether it was legal, not whether it was enough!

As expected, the imperial examination system was unreliable. Such an important official position was entrusted to such an inexperienced rookie!

This kind of inexperienced new official is the easiest to deal with!

Yan Kuo seemed to be more surprised than Wu Qing and asked back: "Wu Yanpan, what are you doing?"

"Although I have helped a little, I really don't deserve such a generous reward."

"Why do you give your money to me?"

Wu Qing was stunned: "Is this my money?"

Yan Kuo said sincerely: "This is of course my superior's money!"

Wu Qing was not pretending to be stunned this time, he was really dumbfounded.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all for lying with his eyes open and bribing openly?

Wu Qing, who had just entered the officialdom, said he couldn't understand it at all!

Wu Qing knew that the people were shameless, but he didn't expect these people to be so shameless!

But since these people are willing to give money on their own initiative in order to die, why should I stop them?

Slowly holding the golden beans in his hand, Wu Qing smiled: "How about, take a look?"

Yan Kuo said in a broken voice: "Take a look! Must take a look!"

"Wu Yanpan, look, this land is so good!"

"Although it is adjacent to the mountains, it is close to the river and has no shortage of water for irrigation."

"It's just that it lacks fertilizer because it has been cultivated for a long time."

"As long as it is well manured, it will definitely have a bumper harvest!"

Yan Kuo's words were not false.

The land that can be fought over by Xiong, Yan and other forces is definitely the best land in the entire Yan County.

Wu Qing ignored Yan Kuo's self-praise, just picked up a handful of soil and said seriously: "This soil should be yellow soil, and it should be acidic as a whole."

"Get a bucket of soil!"

Two subordinates immediately stepped forward, picked up a Luoyang shovel and drilled into the soil layer.

When the Luoyang shovel floated to the surface with sections of deep soil, Wu Qing squatted on the ground, looked at the sampled soil and nodded slightly: "The layers are quite obvious."

"There is also a bright yellow, heavy, blocky inner layer, which should be yellow soil."

"Continue to dig deeper, label it and send it back to Xianyang!"

Looking at the actions of Wu Qing and others, especially the Luoyang shovel that he had never seen before, Yan Kuo's eyes were a little confused.

Isn't farming just like this, then this and that, and it's done?

Why is it so troublesome!

But apart from the trouble, Wu Qing and others' actions and language revealed two words everywhere: professional!

Yan Kuo didn't understand, but he was shocked!

Seeing the Luoyang shovel continuously spitting deep soil into the wooden box, and Wu Qing's subordinates marking the wooden box label, Yan Kuo lowered his voice involuntarily: "Wu Yanjian, what does this yellow soil mean?"

Wu Qing answered casually: "Yellow soil is a type of land."

“The soil in Nan County is mainly yellow soil, red soil, yellow brown soil, yellow brown soil, sandy black soil, etc.”

"The soil here should be yellow soil."

Yan Kuo couldn't understand it at all but still nodded in agreement, and then asked: "How dare I ask Wu Yanjian, is the soil in Yancheng good or bad?"

Wu Qing was surprised and asked: "Comparing the yield per mu in Yan County with the yield per mu elsewhere, Yan Yubu will naturally know whether the yellow soil in Yan County is good or not."

"The officials in Yan County should know this best. Why should you ask me?"

Does Wu Qing understand agriculture?

Of course he understands.

But Wu Qing didn't know much more about agriculture than Yan Kuo.

Everything Wu Qing just said was the words in the pamphlet written by Ying Chengxuan, but Wu Qing recited it word for word.

Therefore, Wu Qing will never allow Yan Kuo to lead the direction of professional topics!

Yan Kuo said bitterly: "Yan County's yield per mu is not inferior to that of other counties in Nan County."

"But compared to other counties, it is far behind."

"When I first heard about the technique of treating excrement with gold juice, my subordinates were delighted, thinking that there was a way out for all the people of Yan County."

"I just don't know if this golden juice treatment method is suitable for Yan County?"

Wu Qing shook his head: "The yellow soil is thin, cold, and wet, so naturally it cannot compare with the fertile soil in other counties."

"I also noticed that the soil here is quite thin, and I think there is a risk of soil erosion."

"Golden juice can cure the thinness and coldness of the field, but it is difficult to change the wetness. If there is soil erosion, even the dung fields will be washed into the river, and the dung will be white!"

After waiting for a few seconds for a reply, Wu Qing looked at Yan Kuo and asked, "Is there any risk of soil erosion here?"

Yan Kuo raised his hands and asked, "May I ask Wu Yanjian, what is the danger of soil erosion?"

“How to determine the risk of soil erosion?”

What is soil erosion?

I have never seen these four words in my whole life of reading!

Wu Qing explained: "Rainwater cannot melt into the ground, but will flow across the river, taking away sand and soil and fertility in the fields. This is the problem of soil erosion."

"As long as the soil here becomes thinner and the yield per acre decreases, there is a risk of soil erosion."

"As an official of Yan, Yan Prison should have some understanding of this."

Yan Kuo replied with shame: "The lower official is a jailer and does not perform agricultural duties."

"I will call my colleagues to come and answer Wu Yan's questions."

Wu Qing threw away the dirt in his hands, clapped his hands again and said, "Will Yan Yu's colleagues personally go to the fields to farm?"

"When the matter involves fields, it is natural to ask the farmers in the fields directly."

"I saw a village in front of me, so I will go with you to have a look."

Hearing that Wu Qing was going to the farmer's house, Yan Kuo hurriedly said: "The farmer is poor and vulgar, and I might scare Wu Yanpan."

"The lower officials will summon the peasants to come and be questioned by Wu Yanjian."

Although the officials in Yan County had already prepared the documents, the land belonging to the Yan family apparently belonged to hundreds of farmers.

But who can guarantee that these hundreds of farmers can hide the truth from Wu Qing?

If Wu Qing were to ask in person, the secret would inevitably be revealed!

Wu Qing shook his head: "Farmers are certainly vulgar, but we, the research envoys, are meant to deal with farmers."

"No matter how vulgar the farmers are, they should understand that I am here to help them increase their yield."

"Who can have trouble with food?"

"What's more important is that I don't just want to ask one farmer, but all the farmers. How should I summon them!"

Yan Kuo said without hesitation: "Then the official will summon all the farmers here!"

Wu Qing looked at Yan Kuo in surprise, with a bit more vigilance in his eyes: "I would rather have all the farmers come to see me on their own initiative than let me go to see the farmers."

"Do you, Yan County, intend to deceive me?"

"I came here with the order from Lord Chang'an, so I must not do any dereliction of duty!"

Yan Kuo whispered: "I can guarantee with my life that Yan County will never deceive Wu Yanjuan in the slightest."

"It's just that it's really inconvenient to enter a farmer's house."

"I wonder if Wu Yanjian is willing to make it easier?"

"You drink wine and put your arms around Mei Ji, while I collect all the information you need and come back. Let all the farmers come for Wu Yanpan's questioning. Wu Yanpan doesn't need to work at all."

"Afterwards, I, Mr. Yan, would like to express my deep gratitude!"

While talking, Yan Kuo stuffed five more golden beans into Wu Qing's hand.

But this time, Wu Qing waved his hand to avoid Jin Douzi, and even took a step back and said with a serious face: "I am new to the court, and my foundation is not enough!"

"If I continue to delay Lord Chang'an's plan on such a major matter as research and judgment, I won't be able to compensate even if I have ten heads!"

"These two pieces of gold can be exchanged for me keeping silent about this. I can't accept the rest."

"Just say goodbye!"

Seeing that Wu Qing turned around and was about to leave, Yan Kuo quickly stopped Wu Qing: "Wu Yanpan! Wu Yanpan!"

"You are... alas! This official also has good intentions!"

"Since Wu Yanfan is not afraid of hard work, then the lower officials will not stop Wu Yanfan."

"Wu Yanjian is free to inspect and inquire at will."

Wu Qing frowned and looked at Yan Kuo hesitantly: "There won't be any trouble later, right?"

"Let me say this first. I don't have to be in Yan County for judgment. There is no contradiction between you and me."

"If there is any trouble, Yan Yuyuan can speak directly, and Wu will turn around and leave!"

Yan Kuo said bitterly: "There is really no trouble!"

Putting the golden beans back into Wu Qing's hands, Yan Kuo said sadly: "Wu Yanpan, give the people of Yan County a way to live!"

After Wu Qing pondered for a long time, he finally accepted the golden beans and said in a slightly difficult voice: "Then I will take a closer look."

Yan Kuo excitedly shouted: "Wu Yanpan, please come to the front!"

"I will lead the way for you!"
