Chapter 8 Still looking for my own people

Mei Xun got up and washed up, smoked the fragrance, and sat in the pavilion in the garden and drank tea slowly. Han Ju stood not far away to report to him what he saw when Xu Ping arrived at the horse farm in the morning. Mei Xun nodded uncontrollably.

Speaking of the forage in Xuping Zhuangzi, Mei Xun said: "I have heard of this incident many times, and Xu Waijian has mentioned it to me specifically. However, when asked about the officials of the Group Pastoral Department, they all said it was inconvenient to implement it, and the confiscation of the forage is really difficult to calculate."

Han Ju asked carefully: "Then, when the herds supervisor collects grass, they still collect the grass. What if they press it into bales when they arrive in the forage yard? Although transportation is still inconvenient, it saves the place where the grass is stored in the horse farm and is also convenient to feed."

Mei Xun sighed: "Where is the simplest thing? What should I do if the inspection site of the forage farm? Isn't it even more chaotic if the forage stored in the forage farm and the accounts? Isn't it even more urgent to do this? I need to make a long-term plan."

After all, it was because the matter involved multiple yamen, and the officials in charge did not want to cause trouble for themselves. They really had to do it all, and there was no difficulty that could not be overcome, but why should Mei Xun take on this job for himself?

Han Ju had no choice but to put this matter aside and continue to talk about it.

Speaking of using mares to lure stallions to extract sperm, Mei Xun suddenly became interested again and actually wanted to read it again.

Xu Ping thought to myself, there are only a few excellent stallions in my horse farm, and each one is piled up with money. You are not going to make them exhausted when you make trouble like this? Here comes to my farm, eat, live and live, and so many people, I have to pay for it, but I still have to end it up. Is it true that I don’t know what the benefits are. How can this be done?

Looking at the sky, Xu Ping asked Mei: "Bachelor, it's getting late, so we should hurry up. If we walk late, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the capital until dark, and it will be troublesome if the city gate is closed."

It was the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and Mei Xun didn't want to stay outside the city for a long time. After thinking about it, he had to nod his head to agree. If it were normal, he would definitely stay here for one more day and see the scenery in the farm, which would be a pleasing thing.

After preparing the ceremonial guard, Su Shen accompanied him to the border of Zhongmu County and said goodbye to the farewell to return.

Xu Ping felt a little uncomfortable along the way. Unexpectedly, he found Mei Xun's Sect and went upstairs. He just went to his house for a while, which was equivalent to not doing anything. If he had known this, he might as well find Han Ju directly. Not to mention this trouble, he wouldn't have to spend so much time on the road and do more practical things.

Mei Xun dares to speak, can speak, and is not afraid of offending others, but doing such things is not his expertise, and he does not focus on it. The same is true for the court. What can be done is worse than what can be said, what can be said is worse than what can be blown, what can be blown but how can he rush around. This is the case in the ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, who can do what?

When Xu Ping returned to the capital and separated, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it was. If he let this continue, things would probably be pushed back and forth between the yamen. I don’t know when I can actually do it, and I spent my hard work in vain.

As soon as he entered the house, the servant guarding the door reported: "Monk Marquis, Wang Taichang is visiting, waiting in the flower hall."

Xu Ping thought about it, but I was afraid that Wang Su was still worried about the newly purchased farm, so he wanted to take the holiday to take a look. Wang Su had great hope in this farm, and was more concerned about his family and his industry.

After arriving in the flower hall, after celebrating Wang Su, he sat down with the guest and host. Xu Ping asked, "Zhongyi, why are you free to come to the humble house today? Is there something important?"

"It's nothing big, it's just the Dragon Boat Festival. I think we gathered together in the same year in the capital. Before we knew it, it's been nine years since the fifth year of Tiansheng. Everyone is struggling in the officialdom, and it's rare to have some leisure time."

"Okay, okay, what should I do? If you don't say it, I'm interested."

There are not many Jinshi in the capital in the fifth year of Tiansheng now, just the only few people, and they rarely get together. Now only Wang Su and Ji Ying are a little more idle in the museum, so Xu Ping and Han Qi are rarely spared. Sansi and Kaifeng Prefecture are both yamen with frequent affairs, so it is difficult to take a lot of free time.

Wang Su sighed: "I'm not to be ignorant of Yunxing. I have been worried about the newly established village these days. There are still many idle places around Kaifeng Prefecture. If this village is well done, I can add more land at the end of the year. This time I invite you to my village. One is that we will gather together in the same year, and the other is that we will help me with some advice."

"It should be. In fact, Zhongyi doesn't have to be nervous. The cultivation of fields cannot be completed in one or two years. As long as you take good care of it, the soil will not be cheated. Your place is not far from the Bian River, and the drainage ditches are dug in a neat way, which can also lead to the water of the Bian River, and it will become a good land in one year. Unlike me, where the golden water and river are clear, this method cannot be used."

"Someone mentioned to me that Wang Shengyuan returned to Beijing to report his work, and even told me about the method of irrigation. However, no one here in Kaifeng Prefecture, so I was a little confused."

Wang Yan, whose courtesy name was Shengyuan, was formerly a transferee from Hebei and had great achievements in developing water conservancy in Hebei. He himself was also very content with this matter. When he met his colleagues, he would inevitably give some advice.

Xu Ping was not familiar with the matter of silt, so he had to vaguely say: "Let's talk about it when you arrive in your village. I have never done these things before, so I dare not talk about them."

The servant came to tea, Xu Ping took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered it, and said to Wang Su: "I don't know how Zhongyi has been doing in the Pavilion these days? I met Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu and others out for a banquet several times, but I didn't see you."

Wang Su smiled and shook her head: "My home is in the capital, and I am usually plagued by mundane affairs, so how can I take time?"

Xu Ping knew that Wang Su had a lot of relatives in the capital, and they were all high-ranking officials and nobles. Of course, it was impossible for them to be as idle as the staff in the museum and the pavilion. If you want to socialize, you would also socialize with your own relatives.

Holding the tea for a while, Xu Ping tried to ask Wang Su: "Is Zhongyi still used to the leisurely life in the museum now?"

After hearing Xu Ping repeatedly ask how he was doing, Wang Su knew what Xu Ping meant and asked: "Why, is it because Yun Xing has any ministry to introduce to me? Of course, I can't ask for it, so why should I waste my time in the museum?"

Xu Ping put down the teacup and smiled and said, "That's right! I raised horses in my village and figured out a way to raise a large number of good horses. When I wanted to report to the court, I found Mr. Mei-"

Speaking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his head.

"What, does Bachelor Mei think it is not feasible? Or is it not concerned?"

"No, Bachelor Mei is in the Bachelor's College and has no time to worry about the affairs of the Clan Maid Department on weekdays. Moreover, the Clan Maid Department is not in sufficient staff now, so I want to do it according to my method and it is my best to do it."

"Yunxing means—"

"In history, there were mostly two judges from group herders, but now only Han Ju is on the job, so the staff is naturally short of people. I thought that since Zhongyi couldn't be idle in the museum, it would be better to be a judge from group herders. With actual job assignments, good qualifications for investigation, and now it is a good opportunity to make contributions. Why should we give up this opportunity?"

The qualifications of judges and group shepherds were far different, and Wang Su's qualifications were enough, so Xu Ping had this idea.
