Chapter 168 Return to Beijing
After everything was finished, Zhang Yue was ready to return to Chang'an.
Before leaving, he summoned brothers Tian He and Li Miao to hold a meeting.
He explained what happened to him after he left.
First of all, Brother Tian and Li were going to send someone to take turns to guard the manor.
Then there is the collection of books at home, which should continue to be opened to the public.
Zhang Yue took out ten gold cakes and handed them to Tian Miao, and ordered him to find an open space in the Jia Pavilion and build a library.
Move all his books over, and from then on, the scholars can go to the library to borrow them.
As for the remaining money, it can be used to buy seats and ink.
He also asked Tian Miao and others to pack a few boxes in the library.
He also posted some slogans in the library to encourage scholars who came to borrow books and copy them and donate money and goods.
The donated money is used to maintain the operation of the library.
It is mainly used to purchase bamboo slips and ink, and it is provided free of charge to exchange scholars for copying.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhang Yue still wants to gain fame.
If the money donated by scholars who borrowed the bookstore from the library in the future can fully meet the cost of bamboo slips and ink for the scholars who come and go.
How sensation would it be if this spreads?
Therefore, even if the scholars donated very little money, Zhang Yue would subsidize himself, pretending that "the money donated by the scholars is completely enough for the library."
Anyway, it won't cost much, right?
What Zhang Yue got was not only reputation, but also influence.
The more scholars come here to copy, the greater his influence.
After years of accumulation, maybe there is enough capital to compete with the super academics of the world.
He found Yuan Chang again and ordered him to preside over the affairs of the library as a great disciple. He brought Xu Hui and others to carry out the "abacus popularization education" in Jiating. All the scholars who came to Jiating could teach them the abacus formulas as long as they were willing.
Of course, as a reward, Zhang Yue allowed Yuan Chang to pass on the content of "Population Theory" to Xu Hui and others.
Xu Hui, Wu Yuan and others just saw a small section of the population theory that Yuan Chang showed them, and immediately couldn't move their eyes away. They wanted to hold Zhang Yue's thigh and ask for an apprenticeship!
I agreed immediately.
With Xu Hui and others helping to support the venue, the library in Jia Pavilion has a foundation and can operate normally.
After entrusting all these things, the matter of Jiating was almost arranged.
So he said goodbye to his sister-in-law, said goodbye to Rou Niang, and drove back to Chang'an.
From Changshui Township to Chang'an, there are twenty-five miles of road, of which twenty miles are convenient straight roads.
So it took only more than an hour to see Chang'an City appear in front of you.
Looking up at the majestic imperial capital, Zhang Yue knew that from now on, he had entered the battlefield.
The battlefield of politics!
Looking back at Nanling, the countryside of the towering Ba Shangyuan is still peaceful and peaceful.
Zhang Yue remembered the Wei Lu manor he saw yesterday.
The green mountains and clear waters are still there, but the Wei family, which was once unlimited, has now been completely transformed into dead bones except Wei Lu.
He knew that he should protect his family and protect his family.
He can't lose, he can only win!
With this idea, he rode his horse straight into Chang'an City.

Liu Jin walked in the corridor of the official office outside Jianzhang Palace.
The attendants on both sides followed closely.
"Your Highness Changsun..." Sang Jun came forward and said, "I have followed the orders before Shizhong Zhang left and prepared all the hydrological materials and river materials of Wuxiangyi City, Xinfeng County... Please check your highness Changsun..."
As he said that, Sang Jun asked someone to present a thick stack of pictures.
Liu Jin took it and looked at it. He was very satisfied and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sang Qing..."
"I dare not speak of my suffering for you..." Sang Jun leaned over and bowed slightly and said, "What kind of instructions does your Highness have?"
"No..." Liu Jin thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about everything when Shizhong Zhang comes back..."
How to manage Xinfeng County?
To be honest, Liu Jin is actually confused until now.
In the past, in Liu Jin's consciousness, it seemed very simple to rule the world.
Just as their teachers said, just cure it with a bow.
As long as you keep your own integrity and then appoint wise ministers and be virtuous from the top and bottom, the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment.
The world will naturally be governed.
But now, after visiting the front line, especially after seeing the tasks assigned by Zhang Yue to the officials and the goals of the plan.
He realized that it was not that simple.
Although the area of Xinfeng is only a hundred miles, the mouth of only 60,000 yuan, and the land is only a few thousand hectares.
But it was already a mess.
Every time he remembers the arrangements of these tens of thousands of people, thousands of hectares of land, and hundreds of officials, he becomes a little overwhelmed.
The following reports on the contradictions and problems between the pavilions in Xinfeng Townships also shocked him.
In the past ten years, as many as 100 people died in various townships in Xinfeng County due to armed battles!
Hundreds of disabled people!
The situation of people's tax resistance and fleeing service happens frequently.
According to the details of Xinfeng Finance and Taxation that the Tai students read from Jingzhao Yin Yousi, this county with a population of tens of thousands has only a balance of only 50,000 yuan and more than 30 pieces of silk cloth on the books of the government office.
Even the salaries of officials are almost unable to be paid!
Although Liu Jin has never been in the grassroots and has always lived in the deep palace, he also understands one truth.
Don't have money, and you still want someone to do something for you?
No way!
He knew at the age of eight that even the eunuchs who served him needed rewards to inspire loyalty.
Thinking of this, Liu Jin looked towards Nanling and thought to himself: "When will Shizhong Zhang come back?"
He now urgently needs this friend and minister to develop a plan for him so that he can have a clear mind.
Otherwise, Xinfeng County would not be improved in his hands.
It’s too embarrassing!
Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly, Liu Jin heard the voice of a servant: "Shizhong Zhang is back..."
When Liu Jin heard this, he smiled and immediately ran over and asked, "Where has Shizhong Zhang arrived?"
People from the entire office also walked out of the door.
Gong Yu and Wang Ji held a pile of documents, Chen Wannian and Hu Jian raised their heads from the pile of old papers, and even Zhao Guo put down the Xinfeng household registration book in his hand.
Everyone looked outside the office.
Sang Jun was extremely surprised when he saw this situation.
"Hitong Zhang has only been in contact with the officials for a few days, but has he been so popular?" he thought to himself.
Then, he had to admit that it was indeed the case.
Because, the work and work directions of all officials in the entire office were arranged by this servant who was a teenager younger than himself.
Everyone, including him, was at a loss as to what to do next and what to do.
Chapter completed!
