Chapter 834 Holding the Golden Baby to Beg for Meals
Prince Duan asked her: "What are you doing here?"
She said: "Let me see how you live and see if you want to come live at my place."
"No need," Prince Duan said: "This county is too close to the sea, so it may not be possible. Let's deal with it for two days first and see how it goes."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
In fact, she originally wanted to talk to the county magistrate.
It was similar to "Why is this place so poor? We need to find a solution." But the smell on this person's body was so lethal that she lost interest, so she said: "Then I'll leave first."
Prince Duan said: "If you don't get used to living there, go live in Fucheng."
"It's okay." As she said this, she turned around and walked down the street with Weixin.
Except for the main road where people come and go, it is actually not that dirty. At least fish carts are not often used on the road. Even the dirt road is much cleaner. The small clusters of fishing village houses also look a bit unique.
I just don’t know why, but the area where the county government is located is the dirtiest.
Xiao Tangzhi came over from behind: "Master, are you interested in visiting a place like this? It stinks like hell."
Weixin had been following her for a long time and could probably guess what she was thinking, so she couldn't help but glare at him: "Master wants to understand the situation and see if he can help them."
Xiao Tangzhi was startled.
Then he fell silent and followed me obediently.
The group of them was so conspicuous that many people looked over from a distance. Yan Shiyue said, "Move away, it's too conspicuous!"
Xiao Tangzhi smiled and backed away.
Yan Shiyue walked back and forth for a long time before going back.
She is now more accustomed to the identity of Prime Minister, and has an indescribable sense of responsibility for the "people". Thinking about the seaport city in the future, the prosperous city that never sleeps, and then looking at the front, it is like a forgotten corner... The gap is really
It's too big.
Now that I'm here, I really can't bear to ignore it.
She thought about it all night. Not to mention her, even Weixin got up late the next day. Maybe people from inland areas tend to fall asleep in humid environments like the seaside.
When the Wang family brought the food, Yan Shiyue took a quick look and saw that there was a feast of seafood!
Chang'an City sells seafood at sky-high prices, and the streets here are terrible. It can be seen that they are trying hard to make some rare dishes here, but they are even more rare in seafood, okay?
This is called holding a golden doll and begging for food!
Yan Shiyue firmed up her original idea and made canned seafood.
She thought for a while and asked the shadow guard to bring a batch of canned fruits from nearby.
Then he asked Wei Xin to give the Qian Mansion two thousand taels in banknotes, and after some coaxing, he accepted it, and then asked their kitchen to try their best to cook seafood in various ways.
There is no need to make too many kinds of this stuff in the early stage, it is enough to select up to five or six kinds, so she plans to take the shadow guard to try a few more kinds and choose the best ones.
After trying many kinds of food in one meal, the Qian family's kitchen couldn't come up with anything new after three days in a row, so she took Yingwei to a restaurant to eat. There were so many people that the restaurant was filled with people, and then she put the menu on
Order all the seafood.
So when Prince Duan led people to climb mountains and measure the land, she led people everywhere to taste the food.
She was quite famous, and she was very eye-catching. She brought so many people in and out, which aroused a lot of discussion throughout Anxian County. Many people waited there to brag about her when they went home.
When Wang Anshi brought Zhou Xiancheng back from Anshan, he happened to see this group of people entering the restaurant. The idle people next to him were inexplicably excited, and there were many people waiting below, ready to see when they would finish their meal.
Wang Anshi frowned: "This man is really unscrupulous in his actions."
Zhou County Cheng said: "They have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and it is common for them to come to the seaside to taste the seafood."
"Not doing your job properly!" Wang Anshi said in disgust: "What did Prince Duanqin do, and what did this one do! This is a dignified 'Prime Minister'! It's really better to see than to hear!"
Zhou Xiancheng coughed and advised: "Don't be angry, the county magistrate. After all, this is a girl's home. Can we still take her to the mountain to chop wood? It is difficult to live in such a place compared to some noble girls."
It works."
Wang Anshi said calmly: "I would rather she couldn't stay!"
Prime Minister Zhou Xiancheng could no longer persuade him, so he touched his nose and stopped talking.
In the evening, Yan Shiyue had just returned to Qian's Mansion, and Prince Duan also came over. Yan Shiyue asked him, "How was it?"
Prince Duan said: "The soil here is too brittle. Let's take a look. If it doesn't work, move it forward."
Yan Shiyue nodded, and Prince Duan asked again: "I heard that you have been taking people around restaurants these days?"
She hummed and said, "It's so poor here. Even though I've come here, I can't come in vain. I can't help with road construction, so I thought I could take them with me and make some canned seafood or something."
I can also make some money, so I want to try it first."
Prince Duan nodded: "That's it."
He said: "Jiefu talked to me today and was very dissatisfied, saying that you were acting arrogantly... You are new here, why don't you act more restrained? You obviously have good intentions, but you have caused such a misunderstanding, why bother?"
Yan Shiyue said curiously: "Who should I explain to? It only takes a few days. When I start doing it, everyone will naturally understand. Besides, they think I am a dandy at this time. They will think more of it when the truth is revealed in the future."
Amazing, what’s wrong with that?”
She asked him: "Who is this person you are talking about?"
"Wang Jiefu," Prince Duan said, "the local county magistrate, Wang Anshi."
It's a good thing that Yan Shiyue didn't drink water, otherwise she would have sprayed it.
She asked in surprise: "Wang Anshi?"
Prince Duan nodded and said, "This man is extremely talented. I will write a letter to recommend him to the emperor."
In his eyes was the excitement of "discovering a talent".
Then he started to tell her how talented he was, how he made bold innovations when he was the county magistrate in Yin County, but because he was too upright and couldn't speak, he was transferred to a place where no one can shit... and so on.
.
Yan Shiyue's mood was quite complicated.
Wang Anshi definitely has talent.
"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance coming." Does this sound familiar to you?
But what is almost as famous as his talent is his sloppiness.
It is said that Su Xun once commented on Wang Anshi's "unfortunate appearance", meaning that he was ugly; Zheng Jingwang also mentioned: "When Duke Jing was born, his family saw a badger entering his delivery room," meaning that he was the reincarnation of a badger.
It is said that this person washes his face once a month and takes a bath once a year.
There are too many allusions to this. For example, one time a family member saw that his face was darkened, so he asked a doctor. Then the doctor said that he just didn't wash his face for too long, and there was too much dirt on his face, so he turned black.
…
It is also said that when Wang Anshi met the emperor once, because he had not bathed for a long time, lice crawled along his clothes and onto his beard...
If you are so sloppy, I will ask you if you accept it.
So when she first met, it was no accident that she smelled that smell. This person took this route.
Of course, sloppiness cannot be linked to character.
Wang Anshi is also famous for his "Wang Anshi Reform".
Compared with the weak Song Dynasty, today's Dayan Dynasty is really rich and powerful, but even if it is a different dynasty, when he was the magistrate of Yin County, he still tried the green seedling method.
What does the green seedling method mean?
When there is a bad harvest year, the grain stored in the government granary will be converted into cost money and loaned to the farmers at an interest rate of 20%. When the next year has a good harvest, the money will be returned to the government with interest, achieving the goal of "the people do not receive any additional taxes."
The purpose of "enough for national use".
It's a good idea, but this thing is fine in a small place like Yin County, but if it really goes to a big place, something will happen.
Moreover, Wang Anshi had a deep prejudice against merchants and believed that all merchants were only interested in profit. Therefore, he introduced the equalization method and established a shipping department to "move the rich to the cheap and make use of the people."
To put it simply, I don’t trust profiteers like you, so the imperial court should do these north-south businesses, and no one else should do it.
Completely different from the concept of the Ministry of Commerce. (To be continued)
