Chapter 76
: Take a plan
Yun Zhao wanted to completely make the official position of Lantian County Magistrate into the most real county magistrate, rather than relying on the words of Hong Chengchou.
No one knows the importance of the program issues better than Yun Zhao.
If the procedure is completed, even a person with high power like Hong Chengchou cannot kill a Zhengtang County Magistrate at will.
Even if Hong Chengchou wants to kill, he must apply to Dali Temple, the Inspectorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Three Departments for trial, and the emperor will then write a red note and execute it by the Ministry of Justice.
Since the Jinyiwei disappeared, this is the process of reviewing officials in the Ming Dynasty.
The previous county magistrate was quite unlucky because the eunuch Huang Chuanliang was beaten to death by the people and hung his body on the Danfeng Gate to expose his body. This was a great disrespect for the imperial power. The angel came to Shaanxi with the sword of the emperor and did not kill a few officials. The powerless and incompetent county magistrate of Lantian became one of the many scapegoats.
This is a very extreme situation and generally does not happen.
Therefore, the first official Yun Zhao came to Xi'an to pay homage was nothing but Zhang Daoli, the governor of Xi'an Prefecture!
This is his true boss, so I must see him.
Seeing that the chief official had no other problems except for spending money, he spent 100 taels of silver to make up for the official documents sent to the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Personnel. He also accompanied the Shangguan to listen to a Kunshan accent. A white-clothed female dan sang for a long time. The Shangguan kindly asked Yun Zhaoxi if she liked it. If she liked it, she could ask her to go to her house to enjoy it for a few days.
Yun Zhao thanked the prefect for his kindness. Before leaving, he accidentally threw a Tang Dynasty jade Ruyi in the prefect's living room.
The prefect caught up and asked, and Yun Zhao denied in front of everyone that he was carrying this thing.
The housekeeper asked with a smile. Seeing that everyone heard it, he stopped asking questions and respectfully sent Yun Zhao, the new Lantian magistrate, out of his house.
After saying goodbye to the prefect, Yun Zhao left another Tongzhi and the Tongzhi residence. It was easier to see these two people. Because of the relationship between grandfather, the conversation was very pleasant. Especially after the two ancient jade pendants were given away, Tongzhi and Tongzhi two Shangguans, after drinking a little wine, the two Shangguans complained loudly, such as the fact that the family was about to be out of food.
Yun Zhao promised to sell 100 dan of affordable grain to the two Shangguans every year, and soon gained the friendship between them. Among them, the Tongzhi Shangguan also wrote a poem at the banquet, praising Yun Zhao, a rare eight-year-old magistrate.
The poem says: Whose eight-year-old man dares to take advantage of Lantian defense. He waves his sword and flies to shake the jackals and wolves. His plan is like a cunning rabbit, a sharp horse and a sharp horse, and he sighs that Yun'er is not his husband!
After listening to the poem, Yun Zhao's mouth opened like a hippo, and shed tears and parted in the joy of the guest and the host.
At night, the tired Yun Zhao knocked on the mansion of the comforting envoy Hong Chengchou!
The two sat in the living room and looked at each other.
"Pig, I heard you are very busy today, aren't you?"
Yun Zhao nodded, leaned his head on the back of the chair and said, "I visited Shangguan and some colleagues."
"Huh? You will be considered as your county magistrate so soon?"
"Yes, before taking office, I visited Shangguan and my colleagues asked for support were all my business as a small county magistrate."
Hong Chengchou tapped the table with his middle finger and said, "I heard that you loosened a jade Ruyi to the prefect Zhang, and gave two jade pendants to the Tongzhi and the Tongzhi. Why are you invisible to me?"
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Magistrate Zhang is determined to leave, and the two magistrates and the magistrates are also living in Shaanxi as young as the year, and they have no intention of making things difficult for me, a latecomer.
Therefore, as long as you are respectful and know how to advance and retreat, you can gain their favor. Your requirements here are different, so it is the most sad."
Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "It's good to know. Let me ask you, how much will the affordable grain for the Tongzhi and Tongzong?"
Yun Zhao said: "From the price of grain in the second year of Tianqi."
Hong Chengchou closed his eyes and said quietly: "You are really willing to give up on six cents of silver and a lever of grain."
Why don’t you sell all these grains to me and I will help you complete the procedures, and promote your Lantian County from Zhongxian to Shangxian, and also upgrade your rank to a sixth-rank official. Your mother’s title can also be transformed from a slut to an An Ren. What do you think?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I did this not to be an official, but to do things, give gifts, and complete the procedures just to make things legitimate!"
Hong Chengchou opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do with this official position of Lantian County Magistrate!"
Yun Zhao clapped his hands, Qian Shaoshao walked into the living room with a basket on his back, placed the basket next to Yun Zhao and went out.
Under Hong Chengchou's gaze, Yun Zhao took out a stick of corn, a potato, and a sweet potato from his backpack.
"At the beginning of spring this year, I will vigorously promote these new foods in Lantian County!"
The playful smile on Hong Chengchou's face disappeared and became serious. He picked up the corn and observed it carefully, and peeled off a grain of corn and put it in his mouth to chew it.
After a while, he spit out the corn fragments in his mouth and said, "This is indeed food. Come on, tell me your thoughts."
Yun Zhao pointed to the corn and said, "The taste of this thing is actually worse than that of wheat, but the taste is worse than that of millet.
The only benefit of growing this thing is that it is drought-resistant and has a high yield, especially when planted in mountainous areas, which is much higher than millet and buckwheat!”
Hong Chengchou interrupted Yun Zhao roughly and asked, "How much is higher?"
Yun Zhao said: "Xu Gong Guangqi planted corn in the capital, with a yield of about 800 kilograms per mu!"
Hong Chengchou suddenly stood up, picked up the corn and looked carefully, then looked at Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "Are you talking about the left minister of the Ministry of Rites Xu Guangqi and Xu Baolu?"
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said, "This happens to be my husband's brother."
Hong Chengchou held the corn cob and paced back and forth in the living room like a frightened donkey. After a long time, he put down the sprouted corn that was about to be held by him, pointed to the potato and sweet potato and said, "Tell me."
Yun Zhao picked up a potato and said, "This thing is called potato by the red-haired Chinese, and I like to call him potatoes!
It is not only vegetables, but also food. The best thing is that the yield of this thing is much higher than that of corn. It is also drought-resistant. It likes sandy planting and has a wonderful taste.
After saying that, he put down the potatoes, picked up the sweet potatoes and said, "The yield of this thing is so high that you may never imagine. Even if it is planted in the mountains, it is common to produce 2,000 kilograms per mu. Moreover, the sweet potatoes grown are as sweet as honey!
You said, if you have these things, why are you afraid of food shortage?"
Yun Zhao said passionately, but Hong Chengchou became calmer the more he listened. At the end, he sat back on the chair and said lightly: "What kind of seeds?"
Yun Zhao's expression dimmed and pointed at the potato and said, "This thing was planted in pieces, and it is less than 200 kilograms at present. In the early stage of sweet potatoes, it also needs to be cut into pieces to cultivate seedlings, and then the seedlings are cut. Although there are more things, it is less than 300 kilograms.
There are even fewer corn seeds, less than two hundred kilograms, so it can only be planted in fifty acres of land. This is just sowing single grains. If you sow according to reliable double grains, you will have to reduce it by half.”
Hong Chengchou tapped the table with his finger and said, "I will write a letter to get all the seeds from all over Beijing. Are you sure you can plant them?"
After saying that, he waved his hand irritably, "No matter whether it succeeds or not, you must try it!"
Yun Zhao touched his belly and said, "I haven't had dinner yet! My mouth is thirsty, so you haven't poured me tea at this time."
Hong Chengchou said irritably: "What kind of tea do children drink? Come and pour a cup of boiled water and then cook a bowl of noodles. Don't forget it, cook a bowl for me."
Hong Chengchou's family has always enforced military laws, so in a very short time, two bowls of white noodles were put on.
Yun Zhao didn't feel frowning after taking a bite.
Hong Chengchou said angrily: "You still dislike such things. You must know that just today, more than thirty more hungry people were transported out of Xi'an City!"
Yun Zhao quickly ate the noodles, and Hong Chengchou sighed and started eating with Xili.
During the meal, Yun Zhao kept looking at the extremely complicated person in front of him... It was hard for him to believe that this stubborn person would shave his hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the future, and kept calling out the orcs and whispering slaves.
