Chapter 155 Standing on the city gate tower, Ji Song looked at You Ning who kept looking back on the carriage. Due to the angle, Ji Song could not be seen from below.
"Master Marquis, aren't you going to see the young lady off?" Lao Zheng asked when he saw the appearance of his master Marquis.
Ji Song did not answer, but looked down, turned and left.
Just when Lao Zheng was about to leave, he saw something falling on the chair.
He stepped forward and took it in his hand. He looked in the direction Ji Song was leaving and shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, Mr. Hou is thin-skinned, so I'll let my butler take the trip!"
At the gate of the city, You Ning placed the curtain in disappointment and sat in the carriage not knowing what he was thinking.
Mrs. Zhang was a little worried when she looked at her daughter's appearance, but the girl just didn't say anything.
I don’t know what they both said that night, but it has been like this since the second !Today's children are increasingly confused, but it's not a big deal.
"Let's go!"
Mrs. Zhang knew what her daughter was waiting for, but it looked like she wouldn't come. Ziyi was busy with things and received His Majesty's attention, so he might not have time to come over. Besides, that day was also a farewell day! "and many more!"
As they were setting off, shouts came from outside.
You Ning, who was originally disappointed, opened the curtain and was about to go out, but what he saw was Butler original excitement turned into even greater disappointment in an instant.
Mrs. Zhang saw that it was Butler Zheng, and they were both acquaintances. She looked at her daughter, shook her head and asked, "Did Ziyi ask you to come here?"
Old Zheng took a breath and said with a smile: "The Marquis was actually on the tower just now. He was too sad and asked me to give this to Miss You Ning before leaving."
After saying that, he took out what Ji Song left on the chair, which was a wooden sign made of unknown wood.
The wooden sign is about two inches long and one inch wide, half a thumb thick, and is surrounded by pine waves. One side is engraved with the word "郕", and the other side has nothing on it.
"This is..." You Ning obviously didn't understand what this was and said hesitantly.
Mrs. Zhang's expression changed when she saw this wooden sign, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said to the servant: "Go and call the master!"
"Where's Ziyi?" asked Zhang.
"The Marquis has just left. Do you have anything to say to the Marquis?" Old Zheng said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said nothing.
Xie Lian came after a while and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Zhang ignored him and handed the wooden sign to Xie Lian.
Of course he knew this. In the past two years, he had been invited to the Ji family's ancestor worship. He looked at his wife with some confusion.
"This is what Ziyi gave to Youning."
"That's it!" Xie Lian looked at the blank space on the back thoughtfully.
"If you don't have anything important to do, go back first."
When Lao Zheng saw Xie Lian thinking deeply, he knew that he understood, so he didn't stay any longer and said.
Xie Lian didn't try to persuade him to stay. When he saw the wooden sign, he understood. It seemed that Brother Song was still being hidden by her mother.
He smiled bitterly and said to his daughter: "That boy really has you in mind. He is leaving the choice to you. I don't know whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid."
"Okay, you can take care of this thing!"
Xie Lian handed the wooden sign to You Ning and turned around and left, leaving only You Ning who was puzzled.
"You!"
After tapping You Ning's forehead, Mrs. Zhang said: "This is their Ji family's fate card. Why leave a blank side? It's just for you to choose. If you don't want to when the time comes, just think about it." . If you are willing, hand it over to Ziyi at the right time." "Ah!" You Ning's face turned red like a red apple.
"Ah what!" Mrs. Zhang said angrily.
"When the time comes, your name will be engraved on the blank space. Since Ziyi can take your feelings into consideration, it's up to you to decide what to do!"
"Let's go!" Then he said to the coachman.
"Yes, ma'am!"
After Xie Lian's family left, Ji Song returned to busy government only occasionally go home to see my mother, eat and talk with her.
The original Longxi County Duke's residence has now been completely transformed into the official residence of Sinong order to better carry out government affairs, he even added a lot of manpower.
He doesn't care how many people here were forced in after seeing Ji Song's long as you pass a simple assessment, you are a member of Sinong Temple, and he treats everyone equally.
Ji Songgeng didn't care about this at all, as long as he completed the tasks assigned by you can't finish it, then I'm sorry. No matter who you are, get the hell out of here. Sinong Temple doesn't raise waste.
During this period of time, in order to open up more fields before the snow fell, Ji Song opened his door to find people, causing all the idle people in Haowei County and surrounding counties to concentrate there to open up wasteland.
This greatly increased the speed of land reclamation. By the end of November, nearly [-] acres of land had been reclaimed. Even Ji Song was surprised. This speed was unprecedented. This also shows that everyone was interested in the fields at this time. What a longing.
This day was the time to summarize and report at the end of the month. Liu Zhan, Yao Chang, Old Man Gao and other people in charge of various ministries gathered at Sinong Temple.
"Master Hou!"
"Ji Shaoqing!"
"Okay, everyone sit down!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ji Song stopped delaying. Seeing that the snowing season was coming soon, the weather was already very cold, and the land reclamation matter was about to come to an end, but some things still needed to be explained clearly.
We can't stay idle all winter, we have to give them these things to do.
Liu Zhan is the person who knows the whole situation best besides Ji Song, so it would be best if he speaks first!
He bowed to Ji Song and said without any nonsense: "Master Marquis, so far, we have opened more than [-] acres of land. As expected, there will be [-] acres in two days."
Liu Zhan’s words excited everyone!
Why are they so busy and forgetting food and sleep?Isn’t it a political achievement that can get you promoted? But now they have opened up nearly [-] acres of farmland in just a few months. If such political achievements are not good, those county magistrates should be nothing but trash.
With such dazzling political achievements and the guarantee of the Marquis, it is really not a big deal to be promoted to one or two levels.
With Liu Zhan at the beginning, others let go.
As they continued to report, Ji Song also recorded on paper.
Yao Chang also promised that irrigation would be completely connected before next spring, and the original dams would be reinforced to prevent any unexpected situations.
Lao Gao told Ji Song that the Quyuan plow already had [-] in stock and was expected to reach [-] by May next year.
"no!"
Hearing this, Ji Song put down the pen in his hand and said: "It must reach [-] before May next year. No matter what method you use, I want people to give you or money to give you, but you must have it before May." There are many plows with curved shafts. You can only have more but not less. Do you hear me clearly?"
"Now I understand!" Lao Gao gritted his teeth and said.
Of course he knew why Ji Song made such a request. This was the basis for making big moves next spring. He couldn't afford it if things went wrong.
It will be on the shelves tomorrow, please support me, Qiaomu would like to thank you all!
