Xiao Lin's expression changed. He had always thought that Yun Zheng was a person who took the world as his own responsibility. Unexpectedly, Yun Zheng's mind was actually preparing to spend his life in confusion. How could such an amazingly talented person live a mediocre life?
, it’s simply a waste of natural resources, no, he can never be that kind of person.
"How could you do this? Didn't you already do a good job in Dou Sha Village? Why are you backing down now?"
"The timing is not good. A big man is about to be born. In the future, everyone will say that he has been famous in the world for thirty years, and everyone is full of expectations for him. Therefore, a little shrimp like me should stay away.
Better, get admitted to Jinshi as soon as possible, become a minor official and live in a remote place. It’s too dangerous to go to court, so I won’t go!”
Xiao Lin now misses Monk Wugou very much who built the rope bridge on Lingyun Ferry. He is clumsy in his words and cannot persuade Yun Zheng. He only hopes that Wugou will come back and influence Yun Zheng to work hard for the people of the world.
Yunzheng accidentally saw the news about Wang Anshi from the Tang newspaper. This outstanding man is now working in Yin County. During the lean season, he lent the grain in the county government warehouse to the local people. After the autumn harvest, he paid a small amount of interest to the government.
As a result, the food in the county warehouse was exchanged for new and old items, and the risk of food spoilage was eliminated.
Others don't know, how could Yun Zheng not know that this is the prototype of Qingmiao Law? This guy has started his terrifying reform experiment from now on. In a few years, he will be all-powerful. When Emperor Renzong dies and Shenzong ascends the throne, he will immediately
Kill gods when you meet them, and kill Buddha when you meet Buddhas. Not to mention the failure of the reform, it will also open the worst beginning for the Song Dynasty, that is, the literary prison!
It is better to stay away from such a god of plague. Not only must he stay away, but he must also teach Su Shi to stay away as well. Anyone who comes into contact with him will be most unlucky for ten years.
Yun Zheng did not dare to accept his mixed reform methods. Later Taizong set up many experimental fields. Only when he saw that the seeds had sprouted did he dare to sow them in the fields. This man just patted his head and took it for granted to guide the people's livelihood. He was too brave.
Well, only a warm-blooded emperor like Shenzong would believe the famous nonsense of "the people don't have enough wealth but the country has enough"!
Yun Zheng still doesn't understand why Wang Anshi said this. The government forcibly lends money to the people to collect interest. Naturally, everyone is happy in poor places. The money can support better production in the coming year, but in the rich
In a place where people don’t need to borrow money, but you insist on borrowing money, this is an open robbery.
The interest generated every year is the footnote to his saying, "The people do not add taxes, but the country uses enough."
Of course Yun Zheng would not say these words. Wang Anshi was just a county magistrate now and had not yet reached the stage where he could control the world. Only Yun Zheng knew about the fact that he had been famous for thirty years.
Lu Qingqing is very busy these days, always buying grain according to her husband's instructions. As long as the government starts selling grain, the Yun family will buy it in large quantities no matter what the price. Now the Yun family has almost become a huge granary.
"Husband, now there is water in Chengdu Prefecture, and you see that the rice has been planted. What are you worried about? Our family has too much food, and it seems that the government is not willing to sell food to our family. Those
The grain merchant thinks that our family is also planning to engage in grain trading and is not willing to sell grain to our family. I have been looked down upon by many people today."
"There is no shortage of food? Are you saying that there is no shortage of food in Chengdu? There is no rapeseed, no citrus, and no miscellaneous grains on the dry slopes. Because there is no grass and no extra food, ordinary people will not raise pigs or pigs this year.
There are fewer sheep, and there are fewer chickens and ducks. Did you know that these are all food?
People don’t just eat rice, they also need to eat other things. Go and see how much rice those people who only eat rice can eat in one meal. How much rice can people like us who always have vegetables and meat eat?
.
Uncle Xanthium told me two days ago that his appetite was so bad that even the women in the workshop couldn't eat it. You know, Uncle Xanthia was famously a pot-bellied man in Dousha Village.
Without these food supplements, the rice will be consumed very quickly, so fast that you can’t even imagine. Our family will have to exchange grain for wine in the official’s workshop, otherwise we will not be able to do business. Not much
How about collecting some food?"
The couple were chatting when they saw the monkey running in from outside with a smile. He came to Yun Zheng and said with a smile: "Master, the food donated by the imperial court to Chengdu Prefecture has arrived. According to the law, our family still has more than three tons of free food.
You can collect it.”
Hearing these words, Yun Zheng immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. This was the first time he enjoyed the benefits of the Song Dynasty. He asked the housekeeper to bring a bamboo basket and go get it quickly. I heard that most of the things delivered this time were wheat.
, or the good wheat from Guanzhong.
Yun Zheng not only asked Lao Liao to collect his own, but also asked him to say that if there were people who didn't like wheat, the Yun family would be willing to exchange a pound of wheat for eight taels of millet and purchase a large amount.
Wheat is a trouble for people in Shu. Those who are used to eating rice cannot enjoy the torture of wheat, so in two days, the Yun family produced a lot more wheat.
The Yun family's millstone began to rotate day and night, grinding the wheat into flour. The bran was used to feed pigs and sheep. The wheat was ground three times. The steamed buns steamed from the third time were already very black.
, it was also very rough when bitten into his mouth. Lu Qingqing didn't know why Yun Zheng made so much black noodles. What was the difference between this and eating bran?
"This is life-saving food. Damn it, not a drop of rain has fallen since it started snowing. Once it comes to the rainy season, I don't know how much rain it will rain here. By then you will know the importance of black noodles. Once a person
If there is no food, the Guanyin soil will be eaten down, let alone the black noodles, which will be treasures by then."
The Yun family's wanton purchase of grain finally caught the government's attention. A petty official came to the Yun family and asked the head of the Yun family to go to the government office tomorrow morning. The master of the government had something to ask.
Lu Qingqing was extremely nervous. After all, what the Yun family was doing now was not much different from what those grain merchants were doing. They were both collecting grains in large quantities during the years of famine, and any local government would ask about it.
Yun Zheng was much more steady than Lu Qingqing. At night, he was still reading seriously and taking notes. The "Qingli Compilation" blurred many legal provisions and made them no longer clear, which gave the local officials a lot of trouble.
If you meet an honest official, you will naturally benefit the people. If you meet a weak official, you will immediately become a thief who ruins the people.
Yun Zheng believed that this was Zhang Fangping opening a back door for him to facilitate his governance in Chengdu. Originally, most of the judicial power was in the hands of the criminal officials, but now he only used a small and questionable trick to expand his rights.
It's within the scope of the punishment officer's powers.
I have long heard that this man is a harsh person, so I don't know what kind of scene tomorrow's meeting will be like. I am very looking forward to it. This time I have met a real high-ranking official of the Song Dynasty.
"Husband, if things go wrong tomorrow, how about we return the grain to Chang Pingcang?" Lu Qingqing turned over and sat up and said to Yun Zheng worriedly.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "There is no need. We have not violated the law. The reason why we can purchase so much food is actually Zhang Fangping's own pride. He told the people of Chengdu that now that there is water, there is no need to
If you are worried about food shortages, as long as you wait until the summer grain harvest, the disaster will go away.
When a new official takes office, three fires must be lit. He distributes the wheat donated by the court to the people for free, and every household has it, regardless of upper-class or lower-class households. In fact, he is bribing Chengdu with food from the court.
The people of the government may now feel that it is inappropriate. He brought the water up from the Minjiang River, but the water in the sky was not sent down by heaven and man. The drought became more and more serious. When the summer was over and the autumn flood came, he still
The stones that have been filled into the river must be taken out, otherwise the river will flow back. If Chengdu Prefecture becomes Zeguo, Zhang Fangping may not be able to escape the blame. However, this is a responsibility that a person in charge must bear, and this guy should be able to bear it.
"
The couple whispered for a long time before coaxing Lu Qingqing into a happy sleep. Yun Zheng also closed his eyes and gathered his energy to prepare to see what kind of talent Zhang Fangping was, whose reputation has been passed down through the ages.
The next day, Yun Zheng entered the Chengdu Mansion as soon as the city gate opened. He walked through the ruins of Chengyan Temple and came to the government office to wait for Zhang Fangping's reception. The officialdom is about superiority and inferiority. Since Yun Zheng is now a member of the imperial court
Officials must abide by the rules here. Anyone who wants to be a prince in white clothes is basically a fool.
Zhang Fangping was much younger than he thought, only forty years old at most. He briefly met Zhang Fangping when Magistrate Zhao left. Sitting in the flower hall of the Magistrate's house, looking at the exquisite garden outside, he couldn't help but think of Zhao Zixing, that generous man.
Dandy has not received his safety letter since he went to Lianghu.
There will be disasters in Sichuan this year. Naturally, there will be no peace on the roads, and the water level on the Yangtze River is not high. If you want to go downstream along the Yangtze River, it will be like going through the gate of hell in the Song Dynasty. I heard that the area on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is called I come.
Ye's hidden reefs have made many people a delicacy for fish and turtles. He should have passed the Three Gorges now, right?
"What are Chengfeng Lang thinking? Are you so absorbed?" Zhang Fangping was very surprised. This young man was obviously talking to him, but for some reason he became in a trance. This was very impolite.
"Forgive me, my lord. When I saw the rockery in front of the flower hall, I suddenly remembered my classmate Zhao Zixing. He told me that when the disaster came, his father asked the whole family to reduce their clothing and diet. Unfortunately, he had a large intestine and always ate too much.
He was not full, so his mother would secretly hide the cakes in a hole in the rockery. Thinking of this past incident, my subordinates couldn't help but worry about whether their classmates could safely avoid me!" (To be continued)
