In early July, there were no major events in the whole of Jiangnan.
Due to a shortage of cattle and a lack of manpower, we can only grow food for one season a year to allow the people to get sufficient rest.
The extra time can be used to grow vegetables, raise poultry, do handicrafts, etc.
Gao Junyan led a team of government officials on the path outside the city.
Today he went to a village outside the city to inspect the development of the breeding industry.
Starting in the second half of last year, in addition to basic agricultural production.
Gao Junyan started pilot reforms in other industries.
He believes that we should do the right thing in the right place.
For example, the mountain village I visited today has not much land, and there are four streams within the area.
There is also a small hill.
These terrains occupy farmland, making it difficult for people to carry out farming.
After Gao Junyan made an on-site inspection last year, he decided to help them develop their breeding industry.
He distributed duck seedlings to the people for free and organized the people in the village to build streams into ponds.
After a year, there were seven or eight hundred ducks in Shanxia Village.
Where there are mountains and water, ducks grow quickly and healthily. Ducks from Xiashan Village will be supplied to Jiangning next year.
There are several places similar to Xiashan Village.
Gao Junyan has achieved development adapted to local conditions.
It can raise poultry, raise poultry, and raise cattle and sheep.
If you can’t raise anything, just weave bamboo baskets!
Anyway, it’s about gathering the strength of a village to focus on one thing.
This formed industrialization and made it easier for merchants in the city to sell.
In order to prevent merchants from deliberately lowering purchase prices, Gao Junyan decided to send people to various places to supervise the purchase of goods every year during the purchase season.
Penalties will be imposed on those who intentionally lower prices.
Jiang Ning's affairs have long been spread to Song Yang's ears.
Song Yang praised Gao Junyan and told Taishi Gao about his son's performance.
Master Gao was also very happy and felt at ease with his son.
In the afternoon, Gao Junyan and his entourage returned from Xiashan Village, covered with travel.
Gao Junyan's body was covered with a lot of duck feathers.
Today, the ducks in Xiashan Village were attacked by civet cats, causing them to fly into pieces.
Gao Junyan happened to go to inspect, so he led people to help the villagers hunt civet cats and ducks on the mountain. It took a whole day of work to get it like this.
Back at the government office, Gao Junyan was about to go back to his house to change his clothes. The master had been waiting for him at the door for half an afternoon.
"Is there anything important at the Yamen today?" Gao Junyan asked as he walked to the back house.
"Sir, three people were sent from Chuzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, saying they are disciples of the Mohist family." The master followed Gao Junyan and said.
"What? Mohist disciple? Where is he?" Gao Junyan stopped for a moment.
The master pointed to the side hall and said, "I've been waiting for you over there for a long time."
"Let's go and take a look at them first." Gao Junyan immediately turned and went straight to the side hall.
At this time, three Mohist disciples were drinking tea in the side hall.
The tea and snacks have been replaced three or four times, but no one has come to receive them.
"Senior brother, do you think the officials in Jiangning are deliberately leaving us here?" Xu Ling was a little uneasy.
When they came here in the afternoon, there was only one clerk on duty in the yamen, and he was also extremely busy.
After the master received them, he only asked them to wait here for the prefect Gao Junyan.
Then he went to work.
Wang Hun shook his head and said: "It's not like that. Have you ever seen the prosperity of Jiangning Wharf? Although you can see the ruins of the city, you can see that the people's mental state is much better than that of Chuzhou. Moreover, the ships coming and going at the wharf are full of various kinds of goods.
Farming goods. I think the adults in Jiangning may be really busy."
Qi Yuan also said: "I saw it when I entered the city in the afternoon. The people are living a good life, and the patrol officers in the city are also full of spirit in enforcing the law. At least in these aspects, Henan Province cannot compare with it. I want to come here to be the prefect of Jiangning
Gao Junyan should be a good and capable official."
"Okay then, let's just wait." Xu Ling curled her lips and continued eating snacks.
"Don't mention it, this snack is so delicious, I don't have this skill." Xu Ling said with a smile.
"Then Junior Sister, you have to learn more and learn more skills so that you can marry into a good family in the future."
"Fuck you!"
The three of them talked and laughed for a while.
The three brothers and sisters grew up together.
The eldest brother, Wang Hun, was twenty-two years old and married a girl from the village, but after the natural disaster, he was the only one left.
The second senior brother, Qi Yuan, was twenty-one years old. He was childhood sweethearts with the fourth junior sister, but unfortunately he also died in a natural disaster.
The third junior sister, Xu Ling, is nineteen this year, and her marriage has not yet been decided. She had a good friend in the past, but she also died from a natural disaster.
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while before hearing footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
He stopped talking and sat upright.
When Gao Junyan entered the room, he saw three Mohist disciples sitting upright.
When the three of them saw Gao Junyan come in, they immediately stood up to greet him.
They were made things difficult by Zhao Wenbin in Xinyang, and at this time they also had some shadows in their hearts.
I'm afraid of meeting someone like Zhao Wenbin again.
"Are the three people from the Mo family?"
"Exactly."
"Come from Henan Road?"
"yes."
Gao Junyan asked some basic questions, and the three Mohists gave satisfactory answers.
"You don't have to be so formal. Everyone, please sit down. I went to the countryside today to help the people catch ducks. I was busy a little late. You three have been waiting for a long time."
Gao Junyan asked the three of them to sit down.
The three of them looked at Gao Junyan carefully and looked surprised when they saw the duck feathers on his body.
As the prefect, and also the prefect of Jiangning, he is in charge of the state capitals in the southern part of Huainan Road and the northern part of Jiangnan East Road.
He has about the same rights as the governor back then, and even has more authority.
An adult of this status actually went to the fields to catch ducks himself!
What a great, people-friendly adult!
From this incident, the three Mohists began to admire Gao Junyan.
"Three of you, please talk about what you are good at. I heard that the Mohists are divided into two schools. One school learns the Mohist thought of loving all things without attacking, and the other school learns the Mohist machine skills. I wonder where the three teachers learned from them?"
As a talented scholar from Jiangning, Gao Junyan still has a certain understanding of various schools.
Moreover, Chuzhou is not far away, and he has known about the Mo family for a long time.
The three of them announced their family status again, but they only mentioned that they had learned the magic of the Mo family.
They no longer emphasize what they are proficient in.
Zhao Wenbin made me a little scared.
"The Mo family's mechanism technique!"
Gao Junyan was immediately surprised when he heard that these three people were from the Mohist Mechanism School.
Song Yang tinkered with the art of studying objects every day, building a locomotive today and a squatting tiger cannon tomorrow. Isn't this thing very similar to the art of mechanism?
I have found a treasure!
As soon as these three people are sent to Jiangzhou, they will definitely receive a big praise!
Gao Junyan, with his surroundings constantly changing, was thinking about what benefits he could get in exchange for these three people and Song Yan.
Do you want five thousand chickens and ducks or some pigs and lambs...
Unknowingly, the eyes looking at the three Mohists also became half-smiling.
The three Mohists began to feel uneasy in their hearts.
I even feel that what happened in Xinyang will happen again in Jiangning.
The three of them looked at each other: "The outside world is too dangerous! The world dominated by Confucianism is too unfriendly to us Mohists!"
The three of them couldn't help but have a thought in their minds: The city is full of traps, I want to go back to the countryside!
