Chapter 47: I am young and willful
County Magistrate Zheng has been feeling very proud and confident lately, and walks with a confident air.
Whether it was the method of proposing locust expulsion to the imperial court or the initiative of Daliushu Village to donate grain, County Magistrate Zheng felt that his official career was bright.
"Sir, have you finished writing the petition?" County Magistrate Zheng asked Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu hurriedly took out the memorial he had written overnight, which was sincere and passionate in its words, and handed it to County Magistrate Zheng with both hands.
County Magistrate Zheng took it and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the brighter his smile became.
The so-called petition was a righteous act in which the people of Daliushu Village, under the jurisdiction of Zheng County Magistrate, were willing to donate grain to help the people affected by the locust plague and to overcome the difficulties together with the people of the entire county.
Although this incident was apparently a compliment to the noble sentiments of the villagers of Daliushu Village, who made Daliushu Village in Fengqi County, and who made the county magistrate Zheng Ming?
This achievement full of positive energy belongs to Zheng Ming, of course.
Isn't it all because of his good leadership?
County Magistrate Zheng seemed to see a bright future of being promoted three levels in a row.
"well!"
Magistrate Zheng looked at the petition, said two good words in a row, and with a blushing face, sent someone to deliver the petition to the capital by express horse.

Because the county government posted a high salary for going up the mountain to hunt tigers, with each young and middle-aged man receiving a subsidy of five kilograms of grain per day, many people signed up to hunt tigers.
After all, food prices are soaring now, and five kilograms of food is enough for the whole family to eat for several days, including soup and water.
As for the people of Daliushu Village, they also joined the ranks of going up the mountain to hunt tigers.
In an instant, hundreds of people rushed up Phoenix Mountain with machetes and hoes.
There is no tragic atmosphere, but the lively scene is comparable to a temple fair.
In the village, little Tangbao waved his little fists and pulled Old Lady Su to run up the mountain.
"Mom, go up the mountain and hunt tigers."
Such a feat cannot be accomplished without her sugar baby.
Even if we can't do anything, we have to show our support, right?
After all, it was she who came up with this idea.
Although it was dangerous, Tang Baobei calculated with her fingers and thought it should be safe.
Well, she is so confident!
Old Mrs. Su didn't dare take little Tangbao up the mountain.
"My dear, let me carry you to the field to pick flowers, okay?" Old Mrs. Su coaxed.
Little Tangbao's head shook like a little rattle.
"No, no! Beat the tiger!" The childish voice was full of persistence.
We are young and willful!
Mom, if you don’t agree, I’m going to roll on the ground.
Little Tangbao quietly looked at the ground to see if it was clean.
Old Mrs. Su had a headache.
My daughter has always been well-behaved and obedient, and has never been so noisy before.
"Auntie, be obedient. Your sister-in-law will make some steamed cakes for you, okay?" Zhao Chunhua also helped to coax her.
"If you don't eat cakes, you'll fight tigers..."
Can we be defeated by sugar-coated bullets?
As Little Tangbao spoke, tears began to brew in his big eyes.
First cry, then make a fuss, then try to hang yourself. Making a fuss and then crying are the most effective.
Although our tears cannot flow down three thousand feet, we must still make sure our eyes look watery.
"Mom, how about we take my sister-in-law and take a walk at the foot of the mountain?" Mrs. Su Zhao Chunhua couldn't stand it anymore.
She has always had no resistance to her sister-in-law's aggrieved look.
After listening to her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su looked at her younger daughter and gave up on rescuing her.
"Okay, old man, you carry the basket on your back and pick some wild vegetables on the way." said Old Mrs. Su.
"I understand, Mom." Zhao Chunhua quickly agreed.
The tears that little Tangbao had not shed were instantly wiped back.
She knew that her mother and sister-in-law would surrender in the end.
