Three days later, all the villagers in Qianhua Village gathered at the entrance of the village.
After some inquiries, the village leader found that there were still many villagers who were willing to mix potato cultivation, and the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
This can be regarded as completing a major task assigned by the government.
From the moment he got this assignment, he didn't feel very optimistic.
After all, everyone is used to farming.
If they were asked to suddenly switch to growing potatoes, everyone would be beating a drum in their hearts.
But I didn't expect the result to be like this.
His sharp tongue must have played a role in turning the impossible into possible, and the decay into magic.
At this moment, the mayor felt very happy and couldn't wait to go to the city to restore the life of the county magistrate.
But the villagers were too enthusiastic and always pulled him to ask questions, making him unable to get away for a while.
"Li Chang, when should we start planting these potatoes?
The seeds will be provided by the government, right?"
Old Man He squeezed over and smiled at the chief: "Tell me the news as soon as possible."
"Well, the government will provide it.
I will definitely not forget you, Mr.
He, when I get the news."
The chief was not in the mood to chat with Old Man He, so he just said it in a perfunctory way.
He escaped the "chasing and interception" of several fellow villagers, finally escaped, and rode a donkey towards the county seat.
Changle County is a large county in Qingzhou Prefecture, and the county seat is naturally very prosperous.
He rode a donkey all the way to the city gate, passed the patrol inspection and then entered the city.
Like many counties in the Ming Dynasty, Changle County also has a standard cross street structure.
The Chenghuang Temple is located in the middle, with the county government office slightly to the north, making it the center of the county.
The headman had already got off his donkey and led the beast towards the county government office.
When he arrived near the county government office, he tied the donkey in front of a nearby inn and walked forward with square steps.
"I, Han Ping, the head of Qianhua Village, would like to see the county magistrate."
Han Ping half-bowed and took a few steps forward and said with a charming smile.
A yamen officer on duty looked at Han Ping, nodded lightly and said, "Just wait here, I'll report it to the lord."
After that, he knocked on the door, the county government door opened a crack, and the government servant got in.
Han Ping was not in a hurry.
He only has one thing to do today, and once it's done, it's done.
While waiting, he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a cup of tea, the yamen servant left and returned.
Han Ping quickly opened his eyes and stepped forward, as if he was all ears.
"The elder wants you to come in.
But the county magistrate is not in a good mood today, so be careful."
Han Ping's heart skipped a beat.
Oh my god, why did I choose such an unlucky time?
The county magistrate was in a bad mood, so he happened to come back at this time.
Wasn't it because the old man was impatient to hang himself?
He immediately wanted to retreat.
"If that's the case, I'll take my leave first, little old man, and I'll come back to see you again when the county magistrate is in a better mood."
As soon as these words came out, the yamen servant immediately scolded with a sullen face: "Damn it, do you think the county government is some kind of local vegetable market?
Damn it, come if you want.
We have already reported it for you.
If you run away We must not be scolded severely by the great master."

Han Ping was so frightened that he subconsciously shrank his neck and said, "Well, why don't I go?"
The yamen officer snorted and said, "That's pretty much it.
Move more quickly and you'll suffer the consequences of keeping me waiting for a long time."
"Hey, hey."
Han Ping responded twice and quickly stepped across the threshold and entered the county government office.
He had been to the county government several times before, so he knew the structure of the county government fairly well.
After walking all the way through the courtyard to the backyard, Han Ping walked to the magistrate's study.
The county magistrate's surname is Yin and his given name is Zhongnian.
He is forty-three years old this year.
We must say that Magistrate Yin was quite talented and learned, and he ranked near the top of the second class in the imperial examination that year.
But it seems that his official career is not very prosperous.
He has been in the officialdom for more than ten years and is still a seventh-grade county magistrate.
I have changed several places in a row without making any political achievements.
The evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel is always average or above average.
It is really difficult to get promoted.
This is Magistrate Yin's second year in Changle County.
If he fails to achieve any political achievements, he may be inevitably transferred to another official position.
Therefore, Yin Zhongnian was very concerned about the imperial court's promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
He saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he can seize the opportunity, his destiny may be rewritten, and promotion will not be a problem at all.
Therefore, Yin Zhongnian was full of confidence at the beginning and was ready to roll up his sleeves and go for it.
But when he actually started doing it, he realized that it was extremely difficult.
First of all, people in this county are accustomed to growing wheat and sorghum.
They were not happy to be suddenly asked to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Although the government has provided tax reduction and exemption policies for these villagers who grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, most villagers are still unwilling.
Secondly, according to the planting cycle given by the court, it is a little late to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Potatoes may be better, but sweet potatoes may not be harvested before autumn.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the villagers are unwilling to plant.
But the heads of six or seven villages in a row said that the villagers in their own villages are unwilling to plant, which is too weird.
No one in the village is willing to share the worries of the government The more Yin Zhongnian thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smashed more than a dozen bottles and cans in a row.
At this time, another yamen official reported that the head of Qianhua Village wanted to see him.
Yin Zhongnian's first reaction was to tell the director to go back.
After all, he had already suffered seven or eight blows, and he instinctively thought that this time would not be good news.
But then he thought about it, what if it was really good news?
After all, after so many bad lucks, it’s time for a change, right?
With this mentality, Yin Zhongnian decided to let the yamen servant bring in the chief of Qianhua Village.
He also forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and restored the dignity and magnanimity that a county honor should have.
But Han Ping entered the study, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Magistrate Yin.
Yin Zhongnian raised his hand to signal Han Ping to get up.
He had met Han Ping once before, but he didn't have a deep impression, he just felt familiar.
But Han Ping had Magistrate Yin's appearance engraved in his mind.
In his opinion, the county magistrate is like a literary star descended from the earth.
His appearance and bearing are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After the ceremony, Han Ping said respectfully: "I followed the order of the county magistrate and went to the village to plant potatoes.
Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order.

The whole village is willing to plant potatoes."
"oh" Yin Zhongnian was overjoyed when he heard this.
Did he hear it right?
The villagers of Qianhua Village are really willing to try growing potatoes "Everything you said is true" "How dare you lie in front of the county magistrate?
Everything I said is true."
"Okay, okay"
Yin Zhongnian finally showed joy on his face and praised repeatedly: "You have done a good job.
This county really did not hire the wrong person
