Song Liyun was completely confused. He had only been away for twenty days, but he couldn't understand anything!
Wang Junzhi was convinced that Song Liyun knew nothing, so he shook his head and sighed: "Jiang Feng wants to build another acorn vermicelli workshop in Qili County and put our name on it...the profits have nothing to do with us!"
"He's going to steal it!"
Song Liyun almost got angry. He had an acorn vermicelli workshop in Suijin Town, and Jiang Feng opened another one, using the name of Suijin Town without paying anything.
What a terrible legal illiteracy!
I didn't care that the next day was already the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, a day for family reunions.
Yang Hua and Lady Yun were busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, but Song Liyun took Abu and two cavalrymen and rushed directly to the Qili County Yamen without even going in to take a look at Tianxiang Tower.
Jiang Feng did not pick up his family members, and all the six clerks in the Yamen had gone on vacation. Except for the servants and porters, even the cooks had gone home to comfort the children, and the entire back Yamen was deserted.
Song Liyun would come back on New Year's Eve, which was somewhat beyond Jiang Feng's expectation.
After receiving the notice of being a servant, Jiang Feng, dressed in casual clothes, soon appeared in the Nuan Pavilion.
After a brief greeting, Song Liyun asked directly why he wanted to rob his acorn workshop?
Jiang Feng seemed to have heard something unimaginable. He frowned and said seriously: "Miss Song, you can't be too selfish."
"Selfish?" Song Liyun laughed angrily.
From the moment you pick up the first acorn, everything belongs to you, so there is nothing selfish about it.
Jiang Feng was well prepared for Song Liyun's reaction, so he said: "The territory of Yunzhou is full of acorn trees. In order for ordinary people to have enough to eat, your method of removing astringency should be made public."
"My astringent removal method is not hidden to begin with. Most of the farmers around Suijin Town know it. But you, a county magistrate, steal people's fat and know the law and break it. Don't you have selfish motives?"
Song Liyun was a little worried. She had never thought of hiding her methods since she started the workshop, but there was a difference between voluntary donation and forced donation.
She had enough reason to suspect that Jiang Feng was jealous of the profits from the acorn workshop.
Yesterday, she read the account book sent by Uncle Han. Although Acorn's various incomes were very small, they added up to thirty taels a month.
This was obtained by Song Liyun alone after Xue Zhuang and others distributed it in the guard station.
As for the villagers who go up the mountain to pick acorns, each family probably has one or two taels of silver, which can be used to buy cloth, cotton, and a few pounds of meat to live a prosperous winter.
In the face of money, the boat of friendship is capsized. At this time, Song Liyun and Jiang Feng no longer have the tacit understanding they had when they jointly dealt with Mr. Lin.
Both of them stared at each other with dark faces.
Jiang Feng suppressed his anger and said: "Miss Song, do you know that now the new emperor has ascended the throne, and he aspires to make the world prosperous and healthy. Now that you are also a member of the royal family, you are not willing to pay for the people of Liming?"
What a big pot!
Song Liyun was furious. Before she married Zhao Tingduo, she had to worry about the world first?
Even if you are worried, you must first consider the interests of the Wuda tribe, what does it have to do with the Emperor of Wu Dynasty!
Song Liyun didn't want to quarrel with Jiang Feng. The two of them had different ways of thinking, and both thought they were right.
Jiang Feng is right. It is the responsibility of every minister to share the emperor's worries and seek benefits for the people, including Song Liyun, who will be the indirect beneficiary in the future. There is no reason to directly take money from other people's pockets.
Song Liyun thought for a while and said: "I will not allow Qili County to open another acorn workshop.
The method of removing astringency from acorns has actually been made public for a long time. Don't just sit in the court and listen to the matter. If you ask the craftsman to pick out an extra ear, you should also know that every family in the villages around Ruijin Town is soaking acorns and grinding them into powder.
"
Jiang Feng's face turned a little darker. He said that he had become a clay and wooden sculpture in the court.
But Song Liyun felt relieved when he said that every household could grind their own flour.
Song Liyun continued: "Although each family's flour milling can solve part of the food problem, they don't have money, so they still can't buy the grain, oil, cloth, and salt they should buy. We can only let them earn money first, and then buy cheap grain."
Jiang Feng understood a little but was a little unclear, but he knew that Song Liyun had many fantastic ideas, so he lost his temper at this moment.
After thinking for a moment, he asked: "You mean to let everyone make money, I understand this.
But he also said that Qili County cannot open an acorn workshop. Where does the money come from? Isn’t it just your mutton skewers?"
In the twelfth lunar month, Tianxianglou's business is booming, and barbecue restaurants all over the city are booming. However, these things also require money to spend, and you can't just set up barbecue stalls in every house.
Song Liyun started counting with his fingers. Jiang Feng listened carefully, and his brows furrowed deeper as he listened.
According to Song Liyun's intention, people should be allowed to breed and plant more.
If you can't raise chickens, ducks and pigs that eat grain, you can raise sheep, rabbits and cows that eat grass.
The cost of sheep and cattle is high, so rabbits are raised.
There are also barren slopes on the mountains that do not produce fine grains, so beans and millet are grown to feed livestock.
Before Song Liyun could continue, Jiang Feng interrupted her: "It's not easy to raise rabbits, and no one can raise them either. You just said that you should grow coarse grains to raise livestock, and you don't raise sheep or cattle. What kind of animals should you feed?"
Song Liyun waved to Abu, who was sitting in a daze not far away: "Abu, come here and tell Lord Jiang, do you need beans to feed the animals?"
Abu's mind was spinning as he heard about the business. When he heard about bean dregs being fed to animals, he immediately became energetic. He quickly sat down and said, "Master Jiang, the best feed on the grassland is beans."
He also talked enthusiastically about how to raise sheep and cattle to gain weight immediately.
Seeing the two men singing along, Jiang Feng shut up: He was too happy to see the new emperor ascend the throne, and Song Liyun wanted coarse grains because he was looking for it for the Third Young Master.
The farmer is asked to grow fodder and coarse grains to sell for money, and then spends money to buy beef and mutton. The money is rolling around in her pocket. This is not a waste at all.
Song Liyun saw Jiang Feng's dissatisfied look and said with a smile: "Of course there are people who worry about making money. Mr. Jiang, just do your old job!"
I heard from Luo Baihu that there are several corrupt officials in Pingyang Mansion who have been exposed and imprisoned. If their homes are ransacked, it will be nothing but money."
Jiang Feng said seriously: "Eating the emperor's salary, being loyal to the emperor, and worrying about the emperor, this is the way to be a minister!"
Song Liyun no longer refutes. Anyway, once the emperor and his courtiers change, sooner or later they have to rotate from top to bottom, filling the treasury.
But...she raised her eyebrows and said, "I also heard that the Lin family in Pingyang was close to several imperial merchants, and they often did some things to deceive the inner court by exchanging good things for good things."
Jiang Feng curled his lips: "I have my own arrangements.
Let me borrow your words and do your job well, you don’t have to worry about this."
His reply came quickly, and the original words were returned to Song Liyun.
Mr. Lin was not only in trouble with Song Liyun in Qili County, he was also yelling at the court to embarrass Jiang Feng.
Therefore, not only the Lin family's shop must be investigated, but also Mr. Lin's collusion with other county offices to give false evidence, and the case of malpractice for personal gain.
