Huang Wenjin is not a bad official, but he is a little conservative and old-fashioned, such a person is a difficult person to get along with at best, but in any case, it cannot be said that he is a bad person.

A guy who violently beats people and digs pits is embarrassed to say that he is a good village bully, why is Huang Wenjin not a good person?

As for the official reputation during his tenure, in the entire Jiannan Province, Huang Wenjin is not particularly outstanding.

His character is Shoucheng. To give his people, he can guarantee that the people will not starve, but he cannot make the people rich.

Such an official cannot be determined whether he is a good official or a bad official, after all, everyone's evaluation criteria are different, but Huang Wenjin's opinion on the porcelain kiln is not completely unreasonable after all.

In a small place, a tribute porcelain suddenly appeared, which is naturally a good thing for the kiln owner and the merchants, it represents a steady stream of interests, but for the county order of the ruling party, it is not a good thing.

From the firing of tribute porcelain to the process of transporting Chang'an, Datang has a set of strict rules, the scale of the porcelain kiln is large, the potters hired are more, and the process of transportation is even more clusters of cars and horses.

If the tribute porcelain is decided, there will inevitably be many farmers in Qingcheng County who have no intention of farming and turn to become potters, so what about the annual taxes in Qingcheng County? The land is barren and uncultivated, what should the landlords do if they make a fuss? To transport tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain to Chang'an, how many local people and horses should be recruited?

The chain reaction in this is too great, and the matter of tribute is an honor for the officials who are good at welcoming the drill camp, but for the officials with an upright character, they are deeply hated in their hearts.

Because the devastation of the tribute to the place is too deep, take a very famous allusion. Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees, especially Lingnan lychees, when today, in order to spoil her, ordered to start from the lychee picking, and then use a fast horse to change people and horses to transport to Chang'an, to ensure that when the lychee is sent to the Chang'an Palace into Yang Guifei's mouth, it is still fresh.

I don't know how many people along the way have been ruined, because this is a domineering chain of production and transportation, whether willing or unwilling, it must be implemented according to the will of the Son of Heaven, for the lychee that Yang Guifei likes, Lingnan does not know how many farmland has been abandoned to plant lychees, how many people have starved to death or become homeless, and how many people and horses transporting lychees have been exhausted to death.

Therefore, the descendant Su Shi has a poem to describe this famous allusion, "The beauty in the palace is broken, and the dust and blood are splashed for thousands of years", which is about this incident, and the process of transporting lychees with "blood splashing" is used to describe it, which shows how shocking the disaster of tribute is.

Huang Wenjin was afraid that Qingcheng County under his rule would also follow in his footsteps, and when he saw the word "tribute porcelain" on the paperwork, he immediately rejected it without hesitation.

For the sake of the county's GDP, the matter of tribute porcelain must not be done.

"Someone sealed that porcelain kiln!" Huang Wenjin's face turned angry, and he flicked his sleeves heavily.

The staff was so frightened that he took a step back, and then stepped forward and said cautiously: "County Zun, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to seal it......"

"The bad karma of working the people and hurting the money, why is it inappropriate to seal it?" Huang Wenjin was dissatisfied.

"County Zun, that porcelain kiln, I heard that it is a business of three people, one of them is the owner of the porcelain kiln, a rural farmer, and the other two are Jia Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, big businessmen in this county."

Huang Wenjin was stunned: "These two have never shared the sky, and they have been grudges for a long time, how can they start a business together?" ”

"As long as there is interest in the eyes of a businessman, even if he kills his father and enemy, he can sit down and cooperate together."

Huang Wenjin's eyes showed disdain: "Sure enough, he is a businessman, he doesn't work hard, he only knows how to be clever when he sees it, and he tends to be profitable. ”

The staff laughed and said: "County Zun, no matter what the relationship between the two is, now the porcelain kiln is indeed their business, if it is suddenly closed, I am afraid that these two businessmen will not be able to hang on their faces, many shops and farmers in our county will rely on them, and this official document is from the head of the Zhen Official Office, we have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Zhen Official Office, if the porcelain kiln is sealed, I am afraid that it will not be possible to say that it is Fei Zhangshi." ”

Huang Wenjin said with a gloomy face: "Could it be that this official is watching his porcelain kiln open and employ more and more farmers, who does the county expect to pay taxes next year?" ”

The staff thought for a while and said: "If the county does not want the porcelain kiln in this county to be designated as tribute porcelain, it is better to inquire about the origin of this porcelain kiln first, inquire about the people and things inside and outside, and then slowly try to eliminate it." ”

Huang Wenjin glanced at him deeply and said, "This matter will be handed over to you." ”

…………

Shiqiao Village has been frequented by happy events these days.

The village is rich, and the villagers have money in their pockets, so the reputation in the ten miles and eight towns is different.

The old people's village, the widow's village, and the disabled village, which were hated by everyone at the beginning, have now become fragrant and sweet in the eyes of many villagers.

Qingcheng County is a not very wealthy county, based on agriculture in the dynasty, wealth and poverty can only rely on the land, the amount of land and the quality of the land to determine the economy of the place.

The Shu land is mountainous, Qingcheng County is even more mountains and rivers, and there are too few farmlands that can be cultivated, which has caused the general poverty of the local people.

When others were worried about food and clothing, the villagers of Shiqiao Village actually had money to spend when they went out, and they went into the county town in groups to buy food and daily necessities, and they could even carefully find two pennies and beat a few catties of turbid wine in a restaurant in the county seat.

With the villagers' intentional or unintentional publicity, Shiqiao Village's fame is getting bigger and bigger.

Early in the morning, he heard someone lighting a pole in the village, Gu Qing woke up from his sleep, and his face was angry, and his unhappy face looked genuinely unhappy.

"Whose house is moving? Let not let people sleep? Gu Qing stood at the door of his house, and had the urge to scold the street.

Feng Aweng limped and shook over, turned his head and scolded the villagers behind him: "Go quickly, tell the Yuan family to remove the blasting rod, and you are not allowed to order it again, don't you know if the Gu family baby is sleeping?" ”

The villagers' bodies instantly turned into a cloud of black smoke and flew away.

Gu Qing still looked unhappy, and it would take about an hour before he got up.

"Feng Aweng, what is the matter? What's going on in the village? ”

Feng Aweng smiled and said: "Thanks to you, most of the people in the village have spare money, and some guys who can't hide the grain will tremble, and the matchmaker has come to the village several times, and today she just ordered a family for the son of the Yuan family, and she is the daughter of a family in the neighboring village, and she will marry on an auspicious day of the zodiac next month." ”

Gu Qing sighed and said: "It's a good thing, I will send twenty yuan as my congratulatory gift when I go back, tell them to be quiet, there is no need to make such a big noise for happy events, and if I am noisy to sleep, I will send an extra twenty yuan to pay their medical expenses." ”
