Chapter 122: Something Bad Happens
Gu Jinyu took the time to come to the villa, and after tasting the wine, he left in a hurry.
At this time, the new official took office, and there were still many things to do, but fortunately, he was extremely adaptable, so he quickly became handy.
He sent his right-hand men to the counties and towns to collect statistics on land planting, and by the way, he assisted in the collection of farmland taxes.
Although taxes have been lowered year by year, most of the officials since ancient times are rushing to make money, otherwise who will do such a thankless business? Isn't there the so-called three-year Qing Governor's Office, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, even if it is an honest official, there will be 100,000 taels of silver in three years.
The policy of the imperial court is good, but the important thing is to implement, to the letter, if there is a problem with the execution of a certain link, then the policy has become the original sin.
This is a very helpless thing.
Therefore, the appointment of officials is very important, because Rongcheng is located in the north, in some regional division and regional management, the Rongcheng military can intervene, so, in terms of grain and grass, the Zhou family is not merciless, if there is a violation of discipline, can be killed on the spot.
Gu Jinyu looked at the original data in his hand, which was similar to the one submitted by his subordinates after verification, and still breathed a big sigh of relief, after all, he was a farmer and a waiter, and it was not easy to interfere in government affairs, but if he wanted his work to go smoothly and live up to the emperor's order, these were particularly important.
The other two cities are farther away, and the men who have verified the data have not yet returned, and the current tax collection work is going very smoothly, but the Rongcheng army has to solve half of the grain and grass this year. The remaining half will be escorted by someone before the snow closes the mountain.
Gu Jinyu and Zhou Muhan calculated for a long time, this is still a problem, it would be good if they could wait another year.
I heard that there was a drought in the Jianghuai area, and it finally rained, but it was a month, and then it became a flood!
It is also one of the granaries of the Zhou Dynasty, and this continuous disaster has not been harvested. The imperial court also had to open a warehouse to release grain. to appease the people so that there would be no riots.
And in the north, there is only one season, although the land is vast. But the production is not much. In addition to being turned over to the state treasury. Very little food can be bought and sold.
Gu Xinyu's planting method, the promotion will have to wait for next year, a whole year. It's short and it's short, and it's long and long.
In particular, corn seeds are only more than 1,000 catties, and an acre of land costs about 5 catties, so after calculation, more than 200 acres can be planted, and these yields should be reserved for seeds for the year after tomorrow.
I have also been to the grocery store, and the shopkeeper only said that he was a merchant who traveled back and forth between the north and the south, and he also bartered for goods, and as for where this kind of child came from and where the merchant's family was, he did not know anything at all.
The Nanyue Kingdom is ready to move again, and the Beichen Kingdom is at this time when the cattle and sheep are fat, but it is very quiet.
But in winter, Rongcheng also entered the martial law period, when there was not enough food and grass, as long as there was a war, the consequences would be very serious.
I can't imagine what the emperor thinks. Doesn't he know that this year is different from previous years, even if he has silver in his hand, he is afraid that he will not be able to buy food.
Zhou Muhan had a headache, and he also missed Gu Xinyu a little in his heart, and after saying goodbye to his father-in-law, he still found an excuse to go to the villa.
Anyway, the prince has already finished harvesting autumn, why hasn't he returned to Kyoto?
There must be Fu Shu begging for the saint today, otherwise, how could the dignified son of heaven interfere in the family affairs of officials?
Along with Gu Jinyu's holy decree, there is another one, which is for the Rongcheng State Mansion.
Grandparents, grandmothers, and fathers didn't react, but Mother Shen almost went crazy.
The decree was clearly written, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Wen Kang was born in a scholarly family, and is virtuous and respectful, graceful and obedient, both virtuous and groomed, and specially given as the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and the five products are ordered to look at the clouds"
Kang Sulan is pie in the sky, but her mother is a bolt from the blue, although to this day, many of the consequences are her own fault, but Zhou Muhan is also uncomfortable, after all, it is his mother!
This Fu Shu, what step does he want to do for Ah Wan?
Zhou Muhan wanted to go back and appease him, but the Shen family became more and more confused, and even accused Zhou Muhan of being incompetent and wasteful, and would only be rude to his family, but he helped outsiders bully his mother, it was better to strangle him to death when he was young
Then there was a lot of noise at home, and although the Kang family accepted the order, he still lived in the villa to wait for his father.
And Zhou Yujie, who was raised under the name of the Shen family, this time her biological mother had this honor, and she also turned over in an instant, but she didn't expect to be disrespected by the Shen family, and she was beaten ten boards, and now she can't get up from the bed.
When my grandfather and grandmother arrived, they were already almost beaten, an already delicate girl, with blood on her back, if she had a scar, how would she marry in the future?
Although the subordinates were killed, the source was still the Shen family.
She may never know that she has cut off her last path.
Just like when she was in charge of marrying her son to a flat wife, Gu Xinyu was the only one who was sad and angry.
Now, Mrs. Tai is just like her at the beginning, she is also overjoyed, one door and two orders, and the latter one is the emperor's decree, what a great honor!
Therefore, Mrs. Tai immediately forbade Shen's feet and took the housekeeper power to take care of it, although she didn't care about these trivial matters, but what Shen did was no longer enough to bear, not to mention that when the yen mother came to visit, although she smiled elegantly, but the words she said were word for word, and the Shen family who asked was speechless, and Mrs. Tai's face at that time was also red and white, which was an embarrassment that she had never had in her life.
didn't mention Zhou Muhan's bad things, but said that Gu Xinyu at this time looked at Alan Baduo who had opened his eyes in the room.
What kind of eyes are these, as if the night sky is reflected in the water, and it seems to be full of lakes and mountains, moving, but so beautiful.
But obviously, her appearance is not from the Zhou Dynasty, similar to the Beichen people that Gu Xinyu saw in Zhou Muhan's study.
At this time, the woman was holding a sharp piece of broken porcelain, which she had broken the teapot when she woke up.
She looked at Gu Xinyu and Chunmei vigilantly, and Chunmei scolded loudly: "The young lady of our family, I saved you with good intentions, but I didn't let you take revenge."
The woman shook her head and retreated into the corner, still looking at the two women in front of her defensively and with a certain hatred.
Gu Xinyu said softly: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, it was my family Wangcai who found out about you, at that time, you already had one breath left, Doctor Du in Zhuangzi prescribed medicine for you, Chunmei decocted medicine for you every day, and fed you a little bit to drink, otherwise, you would have been dead a long time ago!" ”
The woman slowly put down the porcelain piece, but still looked at Gu Xinyu with a vigilant gaze.
At this time, Wangcai ran in with double happiness, the woman saw Wangcai, her eyes gave off a brilliant light, she actually threw down the porcelain piece, rushed over and knelt in front of the snow wolf Wangcai, opened her mouth, wanted to express something, but unfortunately she couldn't say a word, for a while, she covered her cheeks with her hands sadly, tears flowed out of her fingers, wetting her skirt (to be continued. )
