Chapter 32 The Five Finger Mountain of the eldest grandson
I didn't sleep all night, staring at the top of the bed, my mind spinning, even if I felt calm with two lively beauties lying beside me, it didn't matter about the efficacy of Sun Simiao's medicine, the burden of the family was pressing down on me like a mountain.
, Under this kind of environment, Yun Ye could not think of any other ideas.
The Yun family now has a huge family fortune, and there are many things that need to be calculated. Those that can be exchanged, those that can be given up, and those that need to be risked with one's life must be calculated clearly. If you want to make a thorough determination, there is no time limit of three or two days.
Kung fu cannot be calculated clearly. I admire those fierce masters in history. Those who can calculate all the pros and cons clearly in the blink of an eye are definitely not ordinary people. The Yun family's small fortune makes Yun Ye hurt.
After thinking about it, I don’t know how Li Er can continue to dig holes for others after he made the calculation clearly.
Yan Zhitui arrived at Yun's house early in the morning. When he saw Yun Ye's wrapped arms when no one was around, he asked: "Boy, it's rare that a stupid young man like you actually has retainers."
"Master Yan was joking. We are all servants of the family. After we have been together for a long time, we couldn't bear to be separated, so we recognized the master of the family. You took the kid's joke seriously."
"Don't lie to me. Children are playing rough and don't take it as a quarrel. Their arms are all cut in messes. There must be a lot of people. Boy, from now on, you must do things safely. If you continue to act recklessly, it will not be your family that will lose their lives."
People."
I made an agreement with the old man to watch the corn harvest today. The old man claimed that he likes to eat corn the most. He couldn’t get enough of the corn ball porridge. He even gave it an enchanting name: Crystal Topaz Porridge. This is the first corn harvest this year. The old man
Be sure to go and see it. Also traveling with you are Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
The magistrate of Lantian County, the chief secretary, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant were all present. Now those scalp-numbing potatoes were no longer visible in the fields, and the local officials regained their vitality.
"Magistrate Cao looks rosy today. Let me tell you if you have any happy news." Yun Ye joked with the magistrate with a smile. The fat Magistrate Cao laughed heartily when he heard this. He repeatedly raised his hands and said, "Ashamed, ashamed."
The chief registrar hurriedly said: "I hope Lord Hou will know that Magistrate Cao now needs to change his title. The clerk from the Ministry of Personnel just came yesterday. Magistrate Cao is now Xuzhou Biejia and will take office soon. Now
When I was finishing my official duties, I heard that Duke Yan, Prince Wei, and Marquis Yun were coming to inspect the corn fields, and they had to come to listen to the instructions no matter what."
Li Chengqian said with an ooh, "You are well-deserved for your promotion this time. When your merits are met, you will naturally be promoted. I won't say congratulations. I just hope that you can still fulfill your responsibilities and make contributions to the country when you take office in Xuzhou." Xu
Prefecture has always been a place where heroes compete for the throne. The terrain within the territory is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. It slopes slowly from west to southeast. There are many plains and many mountains. It was originally a place with abundant resources and people. Unfortunately, this place has experienced too many wars, which has caused the people to
Poor man. Being an official will definitely benefit one party. If you still perform well in Xuzhou, your career will not be limited to Beijia."
Magistrate Cao heard the prince's encouragement and admonishment. He quickly prostrated himself and swore to heaven that he would change the current situation of the people in Xuzhou. If he couldn't do it, he would rather die of old age in Xuzhou.
"Fat Cao, you are really lucky. The prince said this because he is obviously planning to promote you. Xuzhou is also in Gyeonggi Province. The climate and customs are almost the same as those in Guanzhong. You only need to bring potatoes and corn, and you can make it in one year.
Let the people fill their stomachs, and in two years you can sell Xuzhou's vermicelli everywhere, and the people will have food. With money, you will have a damn solid political performance, and you can do the same as the governor in the future.
, you might as well call Tudou Guan."
Everyone present burst into laughter, with Magistrate Cao laughing the most heartily. Yan Zhitui sat in a wheelchair and scolded Li Tai with a smile: "You kid's mouth is so bad, what's wrong with being a potato official?"
Yes, the common people have food, and money is king. Not being hungry is better than anything else. Sufficient food and clothing is a sign of etiquette. Magistrate Cao must not forget his teachings when he seizes the people's purses in the granary."
Magistrate Cao put his clothes on and supported Yan Zhitui respectfully and thanked Yan Zitui. Finally, he raised his hands to Yun Ye and said, "I have been away for many years and I can no longer listen to the teachings of Marquis Yun. I wonder if Marquis Yun can give me any advice."
Be alert.”
"There's nothing else. Your character is pretty good, but you're a bit stubborn. Now that I'm in Xuzhou, I won't interfere with the local officialdom. As long as you take care of potatoes, corn, and vermicelli, no one can do anything to you. Remember
You must give the people a feeling that this official is stupid, has a lot of money, and is easy to cheat. The people must flock to bully you so that you can bypass everyone and do everything you want to do.
"The words stunned everyone. Yan Zhitui reacted the fastest, laughing to the point of tears. He pointed at Yun Ye and laughed so hard that he was speechless. Li Tai also reacted and laughed along with him.
Seeing that Magistrate Cao was still confused, Li Chengqian explained to him: "What Yunhou means is that you don't want to blindly and forcefully promote these two crops. You have to arouse the curiosity of the people. From the time you want them to plant
Potatoes, they have to grow potatoes themselves, or they are not allowed to grow potatoes. You will not understand this little trick after you have been an official for many years."
County magistrate Cao suddenly realized that the chief registrar, county magistrate, and county lieutenant behind him also looked like they had just understood. I don't know how much of it was true.
Yun Ye looked at Magistrate Cao, who was leading the way carrying a basket to harvest corn, and said to Li Tai with a smile: "Look, next year if the mountains and plains of Xuzhou are not filled with potatoes and corn, come and ask me, after today's conversation, what's the point?"
Even if you have the courage to serve as the governor of Xuzhou, you won’t dare to stumble someone else behind your back. You’re right, this guy is really lucky.”
"I've always wanted to ask you where the injuries on your arms came from. It looks like you've been cut a lot. It's not our turn to worry about that big-ass official. Are you injuring yourself?"
Li Chengqian was pushed into the cornfield by Yan Zhi to collect corn, and Yun Ye and Li Tai were of course inevitable. Yun Ye's hands were very inconvenient, and Li Tai immediately saw the clues.
"It makes sense to say that it was self-inflicted. It was indeed my own incision. Several veterans who accompanied me on the Longyou expedition wanted to be the retainers of the Yun family and needed to take an oath. It turned out that just cutting them off was enough. How did I know that I thought a
People have to cut it, so their arms look like this."
Li Tai looked at Yun Ye's rotten arm with envy and said: "You are so lucky. Someone gave you life. My father has such a wound, my elder brother has it, and Li Ke and I haven't. It looks like my character
I still can’t convince people.”
Yun Ye strangely stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Tai and said: "You are His Majesty's favorite son and a prince. Your fiefdom is so big that it's not surprising that you have one hundred and eighty retainers. How come you don't have any?"
?Wei Ting and Du Chuke have followed you for many years, aren’t they your retainers?”
"They are officials of the Wei Palace, not retainers, retainers, and servants. Officials are two different things. One is assigned by the state, and the other is sold into the family. Retainers are different. First, they need to perform meritorious service for you, and then you can
Recognizing his loyalty finally means that you think you can entrust your life to this person. Only such a person can be qualified to become a retainer. Even if he is a horse groom in your family, he is half the master of your family, not a servant. You
Those veterans in your family have been with you through life and death, and they are loyal to your family. After seven or eight years, a person's heart should be seen through, so it is not surprising that you have retainers, but it is difficult for me. It took too long to open the mansion.
Short, no one will take the initiative to recognize me as the head of the family at this time."
Just break off a basket of corn for fun. This year, almost all the Yun family’s corn is used as seed grain. Magistrate Cao actually went bankrupt and bought 500 guan of corn seed, as well as seven or eight boatloads of potatoes.
, Yun Ye couldn't stand the speed of information circulation in the Tang Dynasty. There were too many potatoes in Chang'an to eat. Although Xuzhou was only five hundred miles away from Chang'an, the people had never heard of potatoes. The potatoes that the government knew about were only in
Two simple words on the document and newspaper.
People from Sinong Temple also drove into the Yun family's land to harvest corn. The young minister of Sinong Temple was too embarrassed to read the imperial edict, so he handed the imperial edict to Yun Ye and let him read it for himself. Yun Ye opened it in confusion and found out that this
It's not an imperial edict, it's the grandson's edict.
"Liu Shaoqing, I am twenty-two years old this year. Isn't it considered an adult? Why is it still under the jurisdiction of the Queen? This is unreasonable, isn't it? The decrees given to the King of Wei are all imperial decrees. How come it turns into a Yi decree when it comes to me?"
"Marquis Yun, your subordinates don't know that Sinong Temple purchases fine seeds according to the price you set. However, the money does not come from the national treasury, but from the Young Prison Office. I heard that the empress saved it through frugality.
It’s money for you, so it’s not surprising that you received an imperial edict instead of an imperial edict. The big boss of Zhongshu Province has no objections and has not refuted the edict in the matter, so it is valid."
"Old Liu, a few years ago you said that I had no objection to the concubine's frugality, but now it would be a shame to say it again, right? The Young Supervisor's Office is so fat now, and His Majesty's money for repairing Qujiang Pool is all exclusive to the Young Supervisor's Office.
Sponsored, how many pavilions and pavilions have been added to the palace in the past two years, none of them are beautiful. I have not seen many of the rare birds and animals in Qujiang Garden in the Qinling Mountains. The gilded statues of gods in the palace are not.
Gilt, have you ever seen gilt as thick as a finger?"
Yun Ye felt bitter in his heart. The eldest grandson had to hold him in her hands. He was in her hands. No matter what happened, it was a trivial matter and could be dealt with according to family law. Although it would benefit him a lot, he wanted to
It is impossible to gain respect because the nobles in charge of the queen are all underage.
Zhongshu Sheng? To Shizhong? How could they have any objections? Someone voluntarily contributed a large amount of money to buy seeds for the imperial court without any additional conditions. As for a marquis who would be embarrassed, who cares? As long as the money from the treasury is not used,
They didn't care if they were embarrassed. Yun Ye knew how terrible people like Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were when they were shameless.
