Chapter 980: The Queen Mother 20

But would Liu Cheng be afraid of this? To be able to achieve the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, of course, he attaches great importance to his own virtue. If you want to bribe him and turn a blind eye, that's simply looking for the wrong person.

Although he faced many dangers as soon as he came, the more dangerous he was, the more motivated Liu Cheng became. Isn't it because their arrival made the other party panic?

Xu Qing has been in the north for three months, and in the past three months, he has been investigating day and night, and he has already mastered a lot of information. As soon as Liu Cheng and Ye Yunluo came over, he sent the news he had.

Liu Cheng was furious, if these were put into the treasury, how many things would be done? But now it has flowed into the pockets of these corrupt officials.

Before leaving, Jiang Chan once said that Liu Cheng came out to handle the case this time and had great autonomy. Unless it is really full of evil and the circumstances are serious, it is necessary to escort him to Beijing for disposal, and other Liu Cheng can be disposed of, and he will come back directly to report on his work at that time.

Therefore, Liu Cheng can be said to have let go of his hands and feet in the northern counties, and he is known as a cool official. It's not that he was cruel, but that he knew the law well, and every sentence was basically according to the most severe.

But if you want to pick thorns, you can't find anything, this is Liu Cheng's cleverness.

In fact, Jiang Chan quite agrees with his approach, you complain that others are sentencing too harshly, why don't you reflect on yourself, why can't you abide by the law?

With the help of the northern garrison, and the personal protection of Ye Yunluo and Xu Qing, Liu Cheng can be said to be in danger in the northern counties. In the north, of course, a large number of people were raided or beheaded or exiled, and the people were praised by everyone.

Jiang Chan's name of the Queen Mother has spread from Lingnan to the north, and now who doesn't know that the young Queen Mother is best at copying the family?

For this title, Jiang Chan was speechless. How did she, such a soft-hearted person, have such a frightening nickname?

All the money obtained from the raid was charged to the state treasury, and the officials of the household department did not dare to stretch out their hands this time. The lessons from the past are still there, if they dare to think crookedly, the examples of Wei Furen and others are there.

Liu Cheng thoroughly investigated bureaucrats at all levels in the north, which was called a vigorous one, and Han Yao was not idle. He and Liu Cheng have no intersection in position, he investigates his case, and he develops his Shangqi County.

While the two of them were going their separate ways, the first batch of sweet potatoes was sent to the north, and it was Dasi Nong who personally escorted them. He also served as the promotion of sweet potato planting in the north, if it weren't for Jiang Cicada's name, he wouldn't want to come, after all, the corn and potatoes in the experimental field in the capital are about to be harvested.

For the arrival of Da Si Nong, Han Yao was particularly welcome. Although he is in the north, Han Xiang has already written to him to tell him about the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the capital.

He was still thinking about whether he was going to cry in front of the Queen Mother, but he knew that people had chosen the north as the first promotion point, which was really sleepy and sent a pillow.

At this time, it was already March of the following year, and after settling down, Dasi Nong took many guards to visit the counties and teach everyone how to grow sweet potatoes on the spot.

Outside the county guard's office, there is also a special bulletin board, on which are written various precautions for sweet potatoes, and there are small officials who stay next to the bulletin board all the time to explain to everyone.

It can be said that the north is particularly lively these days, and there are naturally some hesitants and some people take risks for this fresh crop.

"Uncle Qi, how many sweet potatoes did your family plant this time?"

"My family doesn't farm much, so it's just five acres of land. An old farmer knocked his pipe, and there was still a little regret on his old face.

"That's not much, I planted an acre of land, and I collected about a hundred stones, alas, now I regret not having more. The person opposite patted his thigh, "Uncle Qi, you have planted so much, have you finished eating at home?

"Didn't the government buy sweet potatoes? My family is going to sell four acres of sweet potatoes and keep the rest for themselves.

"Well, the yield of sweet potatoes is so high in our place, if it is promoted to other places......"

The two glanced at each other, "No wonder the government buys sweet potatoes now, I estimate that when sweet potatoes are popularized in the future, it will be worthless." ”

"Originally, I didn't go for the silver. Uncle Qi leaned on the big tree: "I just want to add more food to the family." ”

"It's the land, it's the land, I'm not afraid of going hungry this year. ”

The two shook their heads, and the same scene appeared in various places in the north. No one expected that the original mentality of just giving it a try would now bring such a big harvest, and sweet potatoes suddenly became popular in the northern counties.

Nowadays, the northern counties can be said to be in good weather, and with the fall of many corrupt officials, the rule of officials in the north has reached an unprecedented level of clarity. The people in the north have ushered in an unprecedented spring, and now every family has food and clothing, and they are no longer soaked in bitter water as before.

This time, Liu Cheng and Ye Yun have been gone for nearly a year, and many changes have taken place in the court. First of all, many officials who don't do practical things have all been found by Jiang Chan and sent to Qingshui Yamen to sit on the cold bench.

If you don't do practical things, you think about stealing and playing tricks all day long, and you still want to occupy such an important position? Jiang Chan is doing this imperceptibly, and when everyone finds out, the important positions in the court are basically occupied by the rising stars.

For this result, everyone can only accept it.

Jiang Chan did not put the profits from the last trip to sea into his own pocket, but most of them were allocated to the Ministry of Industry. Nowadays, the roads are underdeveloped, and Jiang Chan especially misses the cement roads of modern society.

The formula of cement has long been given to the Ministry of Industry, and now with the support of silver, the roads in the capital have undergone earth-shaking changes, at least Liu Cheng and Ye Yunluo feel particularly shocked.

Look at the wide road, big enough for six wagons to go hand in hand. If you look at the shops on both sides of the road, it looks vibrant and prosperous.

"It's a very good road, and it would be great if there were one day all over the country like this. ”

Liu Cheng led the horse and said with Ye Yunluo, but he didn't expect them to go out for a year, and when they came back, they actually felt like they were separated from each other.

"Yes, there should be such roads all over the country. Ye Yunluo was also particularly surprised, "This way it will be more convenient for everyone to travel." ”

"You two haven't been back to the capital for a long time, right?" While waiting in line to enter the city, someone accosted them.

"I haven't been back for more than a year, and I didn't expect it to change so much. Ye Yunluo smiled slightly, looking extremely approachable.
