In the government office on the west side of the main hall in Xiaoxi Town, Xiao Chong was in a heated discussion with County Magistrate Zhang Heng, staff member Xiao Ce, and Clerk Wang Lang over a drawing of a farm tool.
This was conceived by Xiao Chong during his inspection of the rural farmlands under his jurisdiction. When he saw the farmers plowing the fields, inspiration struck him, and after discussing it with Wang Lang, he modified it based on the original tool.
Wang Lang was not a native of Mao County; rather, he was one of the Xiao Family's retainers that Xiao Chong brought with him upon taking office, and he hailed from the Mo Family.
At this moment, a messenger came in and reported, "My lord, the Village Lady of Le'an has arrived at Qinshenqing Hall."
Xiao Chong lifted his eyes from the drawing and said, "Good, prepare the tea set, I will be over shortly."
"Understood."
