This time, Shi Lei went on a walk and the treatment he received was different from before. Not only those villagers, but many ordinary villagers saw him, they were like seeing relatives. It is not difficult to understand. Just looking at the potatoes full of climbing in the fields, the happy and busy figures of the villagers, and the smiles that could not be hidden, but in fact, they did not intend to hide them at all, we can understand why they were so enthusiastic.

With so many potatoes in there, the villagers can finally understand what it feels like to eat so much. I heard that the villagers have done a lot of ideological work for the villagers for this, so that they must not eat too many potatoes at once. After all, this thing is a kind of coarse grain and is not so easy to digest. It is real to eat it in the stomach.

The villagers have not only seen the harvest of potatoes in Shi Lei before, they have seen the high yield of this thing, and have also enjoyed the deliciousness of the whole potato feast produced by the Shi family. They are inevitably overwhelmed, but they have experienced how hunger this thing is. Their stomachs have been bloated all day, so they have a warning to the villagers.

This is also what Shi Lei told them to pay attention to when he came to inspect the last time, so that he would be afraid that some villagers would let go of food for the first time and would be able to endure themselves to death.

Don’t think there is no possibility of this. The grain output here was so miserable. The villagers could drink porridge every meal and order pickles. That was considered a wealthy family. Those who could fill their stomachs with elm rice were envied by most villagers.

Most of the time, more people can only eat braised vegetables and carefully check the little food in their hands, so that they can barely keep the family until the next time they harvest food.

Now, potatoes with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu are more than ten times the original grain. They finally have the confidence to have a full meal with confidence, which is really easy to burst their appetite with limited digestibility.

The more these farmers who have experienced difficulties, the more they understand what such yield means to them, that is the life of the family. So Shi Lei has gone through the journey and often sees simple villagers who kneel down to him.

The iron hooves and steel knives of the alien race would not make them bend their backs, nor would they kneel down, but they sincerely knelt down for Shi Lei just to express their gratitude.

Although he couldn't stand their kneeling style, Shi Lei was still very happy about his actions being recognized. This sense of accomplishment is not the same as those who have killed enemies and made meritorious contributions on the battlefield. It is probably a bit like taking his own housekeepers and really living a good life.

When a village really built his Shi Lei's temple, his enthusiasm for the job of the governor of Pingzhou reached an unparalleled new height.

After working, time always passes very quickly. I feel that I haven’t experienced the ups and downs of my post yet, Shi Lei’s term ended like this!

A few years passed by, and the family members who were far away in Chang'an also took time to visit Shi Lei several times during this period, especially a few boys. All of them had been to Pingzhou. Shi Lei even took them to Lulongsai and witnessed the cruelty of the war with his own eyes. I heard that after they returned, they had some good changes, and even if Shi Lei's thoughts were not in vain.

However, what really satisfies him was that when he was in Pingzhou, he did a lot of practical things for all the rural people under his rule with a clear conscience. The originally planned development strategies were all put into practice by Shi Qing.

First, there was a large-scale promotion of potatoes, which didn’t take long. After two batches of potatoes were harvested, basically everyone could fill their stomachs. Even with the demonstration of Pingzhou people, potato planting was spread throughout Youzhou.

Of course, Shi Lei’s request for his fellow villagers at the beginning also asked Zhang Shigui to ask everyone below to not leave the Tang Dynasty’s border! This is an iron rule.

Once the stomach problem is solved, I have the energy to think about other things. The Shi family and other noble families have come to revitalize the market, and the trade in Pingzhou has gradually developed.

Of course, there is also a lot of share in the slave trade. There is even a brave man from the North who simply ran to the territory of the Hu people outside the pass to plunder some Hu men and women who came back to sell it.

Fortunately, Shi Lei had already explained that everyone should try to choose those tribes that were originally unfriendly to the Tang Dynasty and those who were interested in the Tang Dynasty should not harm the people.

Although there would be no so-called "being provoked borders" charges in the Tang Dynasty, which were not as good as the border provocations, which were not only the policy of using the civil and military to build military affairs, it would not be in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty. It would be more restrained.

After all, this slave trade practice is more important than using the power of private trade and using generous interests to stimulate more people to exploit the enemy. It is a strategy of removing firewood from the bottom of the pot, not a trick of Shi Lei to raise the enemy to respect himself.

He hasn't reached that point yet, he just wanted to operate a retreat in Pingzhou, but he didn't intend to really turn this place into his own territory, or like a military governor, and make this place his own kingdom.

However, the aliens are not all stupid. They are either angry with the slave traders who do not have the money to do business, or they are jealous of the caravans' interests. Anyway, they still can't help but organize their troops and run to Pingzhou to fight a few battles.

Unfortunately, with Shi Lei's presence, their intentions ended up going bankrupt. Most of their teams were also crippled by Shi Lei and his subordinates. Some tribes even disappeared into the long river of history, and disappeared without any waves.

With several victories at the bottom, the whole Pingzhou people were raised up. They felt that with the number one fierce man like Shi Lei, they all became fearless.

This person's heart has become more stable, and the development of people's livelihood has been more guaranteed. The most intuitive reaction is that during the years Shi Lei was in office, there have been many newborns in Pingzhou and new people who have settled in the area of ​​Pingzhou, and there have been many newborns who have been in the past year, and they have shown a rising trend year by year. There are even many original escaped households who have even ran back.

In this way, the population in Pingzhou's books has been rising rapidly, and once again, he added a lot of highlights to Shi Lei's examination book.

The Shi Lei's temples that are almost everywhere in Pingzhou have become an additional bonus, which fully demonstrates how popular Shi Lei is in this place.

In general, he did a very good job in this term. Whether it was military or people's livelihood, he had delivered a brilliant answer and successfully conquered the picky guy from the examination department.

I heard that Shi Lei was leaving, and there were many villagers who came to see him spontaneously. They may not have too expensive gifts, and some even came with just a few potatoes, but it was indeed a heavy friendship that made Shi Lei feel warm in his heart.

Finally, several fellow villagers sent a letter of ten thousand words together, hoping that Shi Lei would continue to stay in Pingzhou and lead everyone to live a better life.

The subordinates of the exam assistant next to him took it over and couldn't help but look at Shi Lei in surprise. He thought that Shi Lei was just a simple general, but he didn't expect that he was a good player in the management of the local area and could do it so deeply. He really couldn't be looked down upon.

But he and Shi Lei both understood that although the starting point of the villagers was good, if such a ten thousand words were handed over, Shi Lei would be less likely to be successfully retained. The emperor did not want Pingzhou to become Shi Lei's private land, only knowing that there was Shi Lei, but not the Tang Dynasty.

But Shi Lei would definitely not say this. Although he has too much nostalgia and ties in Pingzhou, after all, his roots are still in Chang'an, where his real family and his wife and children are. Pingzhou is just a passerby, and Chang'an is the homecoming.

Therefore, although he had too much reluctance and sorrow of parting with Pingzhou, his mind still couldn't help but run to Chang'an, and ran to his wife and children, and he felt as if he was home.
