'Completely practice Huo's Marksmanship once, and gain proficiency +5. ’

'Successfully practice Huo's Marksmanship once, gain proficiency +1. ’

Shen Ling, who was engrossed in it, did not hear Mr. Huo's praise, but was just practicing hard.

In the past two months, Shen Ling has not experienced this feeling for a long time because of too many things and less time to cultivate.

Cultivation is a very happy thing.

Especially when you watch your proficiency rise little by little, the joy will be doubled.

After a while, Shen Ling slowly put away the stick and opened his eyes.

The Huo family's marksmanship has officially entered the first floor.

at this time.

Mr. Huo was correcting the postures of other young men, his tone was a little irritable, and his voice was a little louder.

Shen Ling slowly walked out of the South Square.

Don't disturb those young men who are cultivating.

actually.

Shen Ling also thought about riding a horse, galloping freely between the fields and on the grassland, feeling the wind passing by and feeling the unbridled freedom.

However, this was an easy thing to do, but it changed after the arrival of Hu Niu.

He can only ride a tiger now.

Can't ride a horse.

After walking on the street for a while, Shen Ling returned to his house.

Before he could eat a hot meal, Da Zhuang hurried over: "Young Master, something happened, the village chief is ill."

sick!

Shen Ling's eyes narrowed, and a bad premonition instantly emerged.

"Go and have a look."

He hurried out of the yard, and soon came to the old village chief's residence.

However, when he entered the house.

The old village chief is out of breath.

Looking at the old village chief's body, Shen Ling was silent for a while: "After three days, it will be buried."

…

The old village chief left.

The position of the village chief was thus vacant.

All of a sudden, things big and small in the village got into some trouble.

Without the coordination and decision of the village chief, some things cannot be decided.

"Mr. Yang."

In the afternoon, Shen Ling visited the academy in the village.

Yang Jian, who was cleaning the courtyard, saw Shen Ling and immediately said, "Young Master Shen is free to come here, please come in."

Shen Ling walked into the academy, looked at Yang Jian and said solemnly, "I'm here this time because I have something to discuss with Mr. Yang."

Yang Jian said softly, "You say it."

Shen Ling took a deep breath and said slowly, "I hope Mr. Yang can take over as the village head of the village."

For Shen Ling, this matter is actually a bit difficult to handle.

After all, Yang Jian's family was the one whom Miss Qin entrusted him to settle, not the villagers.

In addition, Yang Jian was a high-ranking Chongzhou prefectural shepherd not long ago. Now he wants Yang Jian to be a village chief, which is a bit difficult in theory.

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and said solemnly, "To tell you the truth, the old man is tired of being an official. Now teaching and cleaning the academy every day, I feel more relaxed than when I was an official before."

Shen Ling's face didn't change.

When he came, he was ready to be rejected, but he was still a little disappointed.

Now the tenant villages are too large, not a few hundred people, but 20,000 people.

He needs a person who can manage 20,000 people, at least make decisions about the little things that happen in the village. Yang Jian is a good candidate.

However, just when Shen Ling was about to give up, things took a turn for the better.

Yang Jian was silent for a while, then spoke slowly: "However, Young Master Shen is kind to my Yang family. So, I will take the position of village head temporarily. After Young Master Shen finds a suitable candidate, this old man will let him go. come out."

Shen Ling nodded quickly and said softly, "Then thank you Mr. Yang."

Yang Jian's answer made Shen Ling a little happy.

He said happily: "Then I will make arrangements now, and you will take over the management of the village from tomorrow."

After speaking, Shen Ling turned around and left in a hurry.

After Shen Ling left, a pretty woman quietly poked her head behind the academy.

I saw this woman walking to Yang Jian's side and said softly, "Father, didn't you say you don't want to be an official anymore? Why did you agree to Mr. Shen to take over as the village head?"

Yang Jian shook his head and said solemnly, "I'm just helping Young Master Shen."

"Help?"

Yang Yun's face was full of doubts.

Yang Jian nodded: "Shen Ling, this person has his own ideas. But he needs to control the overall situation, and naturally he can't focus on managing these things in the village. That's why he will come here after the death of the old village chief. ."

…

The next day, early in the morning.

Shen Ling sat in his home, looked at Yang Jian in front of him, and said softly: "Currently, the population in the village is a bit bloated, and the surrounding fields cannot meet the labor needs of these people. I have been thinking about how to make a reasonable change. The village, I suddenly thought of a way yesterday, I want to ask Mr. Yang to help me with the staff."

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and smiled, "Young Master Shen, please speak."

Shen Ling took out a piece of paper and put it on the table: "This is the location of the tenant village, with a population of more than 20,000. Even if the village is built again, the village will not be able to accommodate more people, and even the daily consumption of food , is a burden for us.”

"So, I want to separate part of the population of the tenant villages and build several large villages around the tenant villages to ease the population pressure in the tenant villages."

Yang Jian looked at the mark on the paper, a thought flashed in his eyes.

Shen Ling continued: "At present, there are more than 1,000 Pudao teams in the villages, and 1,000 light cavalry troops who are undergoing training. The combat readiness force is not sufficient at present, but if every village is stationed by Pudao teams, we will add more Thousands of light cavalry can support at any time, I think there is no problem with safety."

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and nodded, "Young Master Shen's fantastic idea really impresses this old man. It seems that this old man is a better village chief than he imagined."

"Where is it." Shen Ling shook his head, "I just absorbed the experience of my predecessors and came up with it."

For Yang Jian's praise, Shen Ling did not dare to take credit, let alone be arrogant.

Yang Jian shook his head: "It's good to be humble, but Young Master Shen doesn't have to be so self-effacing."

Shen Ling smiled: "Mr. Yang thinks my proposal is feasible?"

"It's possible!" Yang Jian nodded, and then said softly, "However, I think we can add a little more."

Shen Ling asked, "Mr. Yang, please enlighten me!"

Yang Jian drew a circle around each of the five points that Shen Ling expected: "In this part of the place, Mr. Shen can organize the people to open up wasteland. As long as the wasteland is successfully opened, the problem of shortage of fields can be solved."

Shen Ling thought for a while.

He had read a lot of books, and suddenly he remembered the law of Dagan. As for land reclamation, he only needed the approval of the local county magistrate.

Since there was no county magistrate in Qihua City before, wasteland reclamation would not be allowed.

But now, Mr. Shen is the county magistrate.

This part is easy to solve.

"Okay! That's it." Shen Ling nodded, "Mr. Yang is indeed Mr. Yang!"

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Nowhere, Mr. Shen is a great talent!"
