In any case, Chu Qing's trip was not in vain. Not only did he eat delicious bamboo shoots, he also came up with some small ideas to fight against the locust plague.

After returning to her residence, Chu Qing's mood calmed down a lot. She felt that her previous letters to various places were a bit too hasty and simple, and she still had to give more instructions.

Sitting at the table, he took off the cap of his pen, and Chu Qing's pen quickly moved across the paper.

This time, she mainly wrote about the local old farmer’s prediction of the locust plague. She felt that the old farmer’s words were more convincing than her own.

The temperature in Yibin is higher than that in the north. It will take a month for the north to reach the current temperature, so there is still a chance to take some preventive measures.

Then he wrote about the training, grazing and methods of chickens and ducks; he wrote about the need to make more fishing nets; he also wrote about the need to communicate more with local experienced farmers and listen to their opinions on fighting the locust plague...

Finally, Chu Qing wrote about chicken and duck manure, including whole chickens, whole ducks, etc., which will be purchased by all Chu family shops to encourage breeding.

After writing a letter, Chu Qing just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately became distressed. Without a copy machine, if she copied the letter several times like she did at noon, she thought she would go crazy.

The main reason is that this time I want to write one more letter to Youzhi County, Huai'an County, Jizhou, that is, Xiaobao's father who is learning from his opponent.

I forgot about him at noon, so I must send him a letter this time, because Chu Qing is worried about the new governor of Jizhou, Qi.

Qi Zhizhou's background was similar to that of Song Tingshan. They both came from a wealthy family. They were the type of people who "don't eat the fireworks of the world" and may not be sensitive to farming.

Take Song Tingshan as an example. During his years in Jizhou, Chu Qing never heard of him going to the fields.

However, the cooperation between Song Tingshan and Chu Qing began with the rescue of Hong Liang, so they have always cooperated well and paid more attention to Chu Qing's words.

But Qi Zhizhou was different. At the beginning of the year, Chu Qing and he had met with Song Tingshan and several magistrates from the "Five Counties". Qi Zhizhou's attitude was obviously more perfunctory.

After all, we are not familiar with each other, and we have no direct business contacts.

Chu Qing was very afraid that he would not take the prediction of the locust plague seriously and would not pay attention to it. Then the magistrates under his rule would not be active, and a small county like Huai'an County would not get the support it deserves.

Youzhi County is a good comrade. The key is that Chu Qing needs his county to process chicken and duck meat for him. His county is one of the meat processing places in Xiaobao's "gourmet" industry.

Chu Qing looked at the pile of paper in front of him and kept his luck. He held the pen dipped in water but didn't want to move.

The door was open, so Zhuo Yao knocked on the door and came in, followed by Lao Huang Zhong and Xiangzi.

Zhuo Yao went to do some work after sending the letter at noon. On the way back, he met Huang Zhong who had returned from the mountains, and they came together to see Chu Qing.

Old Huang Zhong is a wonderful man. Despite his age, he still maintains a child-like curiosity about everything.

Recently, I am very interested in the method of "getting the number of birds flying" mentioned by Chu Qing instead of the "following the road" method to draw maps, so I run to the mountains every day and use his knowledge to calculate the errors of the two drawing methods.

How big is it.

When they entered the room, Chu Qing was stared at as she was shaking her pen as if to write or not. Chu Qing did not shy away from them, she just spread out the letter and asked what happened.

It's nothing serious, I just want to report to her when I get back.

But seeing what she was doing, Zhuo Yao asked what he could do for her.

People came and asked, if you don't arrest such a strong man, what are you waiting for?

Chu Qing suddenly became happy, and handed out a pile of paper to each person: "Come on, copy this! These are to be sent to Song Zhizhou, Qi Zhizhou, Xuzhi County and Youzhi County. Xiangzi, please send Huang Rong as well."

Call for help."

Huang Zhong had been running up the mountain every day these days and ignored what was going on here, so he didn't know anything.

Now that I was reading the letter, I picked it up and browsed it through it, then my expression became solemn: "Girl Qing, you are violating some taboos."

Chu Qing looked at Huang Zhong: "Why?"

Huang Zhong said: "First, you have crossed the line. This is not your scope of responsibilities, and you do not have the right to guide local parents;

Second, without any factual basis, you are "alarmist". Once these statements are spread among the people, you will be suspected of "confused";

Third, even if no one cares about the above two items, since you wrote to Qi Zhizhou, why did you write to Xuzhi County and Youzhi County separately?

Are you going to sow discord between their superiors and subordinates? What will Qi Zhizhou think of your approach? If it were me, I would be very angry, because you just barely put your distrust on the surface.

What do you think, as a fifth-rank magistrate of the state, I will do to you, a fifth-rank official? If nothing else, can I give you some shoes?"

Chu Qing was stunned.

When old Huang Zhong read the letter, Xiangzi went to call Huang Rong. The two came back quickly, so they listened carefully to Huang Zhong's words.

Huang Rong said: "I also think that Master, you are a little too careless, so we won't write this letter to them. It will be a thankless effort."

Seeing Chu Qing dumbfounded, Huang Zhong had no intention of letting her go. This girl was good at everything, but there were a lot of people and sophistication in the officialdom that she didn't understand. If she didn't explain it clearly, she might not be able to understand it.

Huang Zhong continued: "I know that you always treat things rather than people, and you put your whole heart into doing things;

But have you ever thought about it, even if these officials don't think much now and do as you say, if the locust plague does not happen, will they cause panic among the people? Who is responsible for the problem?

If a locust plague occurs and they deal with it well, then who gets the credit? Are you taking credit from them?"

Chu Qing bit her lower lip and remained silent for a long time.

She really hadn't thought about what Huang Zhong said.

All thoughts were focused on what else could be done to deal with the impending disaster, and I really didn’t think about the gains and losses in the officialdom.

Now I am no longer the employee who sits in the big room of the work unit, typing on the mouse and keyboard, just immersed in drawing.

Nor is he the administrator in the library who enters data into the robot and then competes with it to guide the readers faster.

Rather, they are middle- and low-level officials who need to deal with bureaucrats of various official ranks and positions.

You can't just do things and ignore people.

If one person is not good, whoever wears a pair of small shoes and pricks them with a small needle, Chu Qing will have to play it all!

He came from a humble background, entered the officialdom in an unorthodox way, and had no background or connections to rely on. He was really a person walking on a tightrope.

"Then... what should we do?" Chu Qing looked at Huang Zhong pitifully and asked: "I have sent a batch of letters before, and now these are supplements to the letters at noon..."

He turned his attention to Zhuo Yao again, sincerely hoping that he hadn't sent the letter yet.

Obviously, this was no luck, because Zhuo Yao nodded to Huang Zhong: "Yes, a batch has been sent out at noon, and it is also for these people."

Huang Zhong slapped his forehead.

Oh, what a stupid girl!
