As soon as they heard that Baoyu (burning small stones) would turn thousands of hectares of dry land into irrigated land through magic tricks, people from dozens of miles away from home and abroad came.
The old officials from the prefecture's yamen also beat gongs and drums and publicized the event on the streets, which made it very lively.
The publicity was deliberately arranged by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
In the Qing Dynasty, there were few entertainment activities for the common people, and they would enjoy watching cats and dogs fight for a long time. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) believed that they would definitely come to such a great entertainment.
Without a water pump, the water can't flow to the hillside fifty or so away from the river?
Are you kidding me?
Aren’t our physics courses in vain?
After returning from the hillside, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) ordered all the women in the house to sew cloth pipes with needles.
Just use the worst big white cloth and sew it into a white cloth bucket as thick as a bucket. The longer the better.
It really made me laugh to death.
The second master actually said that he would use this big white cloth bucket to move the surging river water to a high slope... Soak the white cloth bucket in the water and wait until it gets wet before lifting it up the high slope?
That little water is not enough to embarrass you.
As soon as he heard that the prefect Jia Baoyu was going to use many tricks to turn the river water into high ground, the Heilongjiang patrol made Jiangjin anxious.
Jiang Jintian was the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the inspector of Heilongjiang Province, who specially went to the Northeast to inspect the agricultural situation.
The emperor was very confident about other provinces and regions, but the one he was most worried about was the Northeast, especially the grain production in the Northeast, so he sent Jiang Jintian, who knew the most about agriculture, to the Northeast.
Jiang Jintian was a Jinshi in the early years of Shunzhi. A book called "Essentials of Qi Min" was translated into paper clay. He could be called the most knowledgeable official in the Ministry of Agriculture in the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, Jiang Jintian was also a master of Confucianism. He often claimed that "the ancients governed the world with half of the Analects of Confucius, but the students were sparse in talent and learning. Would it be possible to govern the Northeast with only one Analects of Confucius?"
Early in the morning, Jiang Jintian arrived at the magistrate's office in a sedan chair with eight carriages. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) personally went to the door to greet him.
The six ministries of the Qing Dynasty were the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Officials. They were equivalent to the current ministers, but because they were relatively few, they had more power than the current ministers. The six ministries were subordinate to the cabinet. The principal position was called Shangshu, and the deputy position was called Shilang. The second rank of Shangshu was reached.
The first rank is lower than that of a bachelor. Some ministers are also bachelors. The ministers are of the third rank to the second rank.
Jiang Jintian is an old servant, a second-grade official.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) went to curry favor with Jiang Jintian not because he was from the "Central Ministries", but because he loved agriculture. The Zuo Shibu of the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of agriculture, and Jiang Jintian was in this position.
In the year of 1988, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance for several times, but he was still a minister, an old minister.
Because Jiang Jintian loves agriculture and does not want to be promoted or move his position.
As soon as he entered the house, without even saying hello, Jiang Jintian raised his hands to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and said: "Sir, I am so powerful and chaotic...Sir, your way of doing magic is very special...Sir, you want to
To achieve political achievements in this way... I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate..."
If you want to "set the rhythm" in this way, there is no way. If you want to "know it", I won't give you this opportunity.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) responded in colloquial terms, "I am an uneducated and rough person. I don't understand these quotations from the Analects. When I was young, my family was too rich and I was always playful, so I didn't study hard."
Culture, so I'm a little rude... What's the matter? Master Kong, you don't allow magic tricks, or is it the minister who thinks my methods are wrong?"
This miscellany made Jiang Jintian's nose almost crooked with anger, and his face turned red.
I kindly remind you that when you are an official, you should do your job well and don't engage in such messy things. It will not be good for your reputation. You are so kind, but you have taken my good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs.
"Sir, you have committed all the five evils mentioned by Saint Confucius. Your rebellious mind is dangerous, your behavior is eccentric, your words are false and arrogant, your ugly words are powerful, and your obedient words are radiant... This is an infringement on the common people of the world.
He should be punished."
Jiang Jintian risked his life and didn't care whether Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s real official was a first-class governor.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was also very angry.
"Master Jiang, Jiang Shilangguan, right? Without investigation, you have no right to speak. Real knowledge comes from practice. You didn't see what happened to me, and you just speculated wildly and judged others by yourself, as if you should chop off the head of a bastard.
Take off that thing around your neck? There is no use keeping it anyway... An official in charge of agriculture cannot solve some of the most basic problems in agriculture. You said you have been running in the Northeast for two years, what are you doing?
Is the food here?"
The most annoying thing in my life is hanging my book bag. You also labeled me as "violating the common people" because I saw that you read the torn pages of the agricultural book "Essentials for Elevating the People".
I came to the door to greet you, you are so kind, and you even put on a show to teach me a lesson... If I hadn't scolded you, you would have thought that I am a vegetarian.
This time Jiang Jintian meets him!
Hold back your anger, really hold back your anger, don't be angry.
Despite this, Jiang Jintian still bit his lip and bled.
"Sir, you have to do agriculture in a down-to-earth way...Magic tricks are not the right way, they belong to heretics...Well, if your lord can promote your tricks so that everyone can do it, I will automatically resign and go into seclusion."
"Whether you resign or not has nothing to do with me. As for promotion, everyone can do my trick..."
"Sir, what should you do if you can't do it?" Jiang Jintian seemed to be getting more energetic again.
"Tell me what to do!"
"How about you voluntarily resign as governor?"
There must be something wrong with this. As an old official who has been a high-ranking official for more than ten years, it is impossible for him to be so arrogant, otherwise he would have died long ago.
This is cheating on me!
"Okay, it's settled, I'm resigning... If you lose, you don't have to resign and go into seclusion... You can work as a groom for me, a second-grade groom, my groom level
It is unparalleled in the world."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) ignored it and directly called to see off the guests.
After Jiang Jintian left, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) took out his official credentials from his arms and found Jiang Jintian's resume for research.
Every promotion has a direct or indirect relationship with the Queen Mother... This guy is actually a "Queen Mother Party"!
No wonder he was so indifferent and aggressive just now!
Then I put all the official credentials together and checked them one by one. I found that nearly half of the officials in the Northeast were employees of the Empress Dowager, and these people were closely related to Yi Bilong, one of the "Four Great Ministers of Guan Ming".
Thousands of connections.
"I came to the Northeast with the full support of the Empress Dowager and the little emperor... Most of the officials the little emperor wants to clean up are from the Queen Mother's party. Is it possible that grandma and grandson are going to fight? Isn't this too difficult to deal with?"
The Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor are going to war?
