Most of these Fujian celebrities are people who are frustrated by officialdom and turn to pursue folk prestige, and it is their common dream to be able to let their poems be passed down through the ages, Guo Zhiyuan's words made them realize, and they were a little tempted, picked up the sweet potato food in front of them and tasted it, their eyes lit up as soon as they ate it, and it didn't seem to be as difficult to swallow as Huang Liu showed, and they nodded and praised each other.

Huang Liu was anxious when he saw it, he was a straw bag, and he wanted to argue with Guo Zhiyuan that there was no goods in his stomach, but there were a few of the dog's legs that followed him and slapped the horse, and there was still some ink in the legs of the dog, so he hurriedly mocked Guo Zhiyuan: "Lord Guo's argument is deviant, we really don't dare to agree, we heard that those cultivators and pawns along the way are praising a poem "I love sweet potatoes", I heard that it was written by Lord Guo, this poem does not make sense, can it also be called a poem? Ha ha! ……”

Before Guo Zhiyuan could reply, Leng Xianning became angry first, how could she tolerate others attacking her unreasonable? immediately reprimanded: "Guo Gongzi's literary brilliance, all the Fuzhou celebrities who participated in the Xichan Temple Poetry Meeting last year have seen it, and the poems in Huang Gongzi's "Autumn Stream Collection" except for the toad poem are probably not written by Huang Gongzi, they are all ghostwritten by Guo Gongzi, right?" One of them is a wonderful poem, how can you question Guo Gongzi? Said that Guo Gongzi didn't understand literature and science? It's ridiculous! ……”

Huang Liu couldn't imagine that Leng Xianning would be so ruthless, and directly exposed the truth that his "Autumn Stream Collection" was ghostwritten by Guo Zhiyuan, and immediately said angrily: "Miss Leng is too much, what basis do you have to say that "Autumn Stream Collection" is not written by this son?!" ……”

Leng Xianning knew that Huang Liu would not admit it, and sneered: "There is a poem "Farewell Kangqiao" in "Autumn Stream Collection", if you can tell where Kangqiao is? At the same time, I recited the poem "Farewell to Kangqiao", and this girl admitted that "Autumn Stream Collection" was written by you and apologized to you! ……”

Huang Liu was caught off guard by Leng Xianning's hand, his face was swollen and red, but he didn't know how to respond, because he really didn't know what the hell Kangqiao was, and he couldn't do it by reciting the original text. Let me wait for an eye-opener! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan knew that if he didn't show a song, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince these guys who deliberately found fault, but Leng Xianning was full of confidence in Guo Zhiyuan, looking at Guo Zhiyuan with burning eyes, the beauty was in front, Guo Zhiyuan's expressiveness also came up, and he said loudly after a little groaning: "Okay!" Then in the next place, I will throw bricks and jade to offer ugliness! Come to a seven-word quatrain, sing sweet potatoes, Longtou leaf vines protect the essence roots, and break the ground when it is completed. Cooking only leaves sweet and delicious, and the poor year depends on you. ”

"Good!" Leng Xianning was the first to applaud, and everyone else nodded one after another, although Guo Zhiyuan's seven-word quatrain can only be regarded as decent, not a masterpiece, but it is rare that Guo Zhiyuan can become a poem in such a short time, Huang Liu's doglegs saw that Guo Zhiyuan was not stumped, so he said a little curtly: "It's just like that......"

Guo Zhiyuan glanced coldly at the few dogs who were deliberately stirring up the situation, knowing that in order to completely convince them, they had to be left speechless, and said with a slight smile: "These brothers seem to have a prejudice against Guo, then Guo will compose another poem and ask a few brothers to advise, if several brothers can also write a poem in the same time, Guo will admit that he is only a shallow learner......"

Saying that, Guo Zhiyuan began to pace slowly, and while pacing, the poem also blurted out: "Shame for the prince's table banquet, happy to fill the coarse grain to help the people." If it was expensive earlier, I would not complain about burying sand alkali in this life. ”

"Wonderful! A good one's ashamed to feast on the prince's table, happy to fill the coarse grain to help the people. In the past, Cao Zijian made seven steps into a poem for thousands of years, and today Guo Daren made a sweet potato poem for the people in seven steps, which is not inferior to the ancients, and it is also a good story of my Fujian Shilin! ......" Yin Suiqi was amazed at the case, and other celebrities were also impressed by Guo Zhiyuan's literary brilliance, and they all gave a thumbs up and expressed their appreciation.

"Guo has already made a fool of himself, so he asked these brothers to also compose a poem, let me wait to appreciate the literary brilliance of several brothers! ......" Guo Zhiyuan looked at the few dogs who deliberately stirred up the situation, and said with a smile.

Those few dogs naturally couldn't do it, they sat there with red faces, they didn't leave, they didn't stay, Guo Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to them anymore, turned his head and said loudly to everyone: "You are all talented people in the world, the handsome men of Fujian, you may think that the cultivators and pawns are inferior people, and you disdain it, but have you ever thought that if there are no these cultivators and pawns working hard, where will the food we eat come from?" If we don't have enough to eat, how can we have the leisure to recite poetry here? We rely on the hard work of the people to have food and clothing, so should we also make some contributions to the people? This sweet potato is a vulgar thing in the eyes of Huang Gongzi, but in the eyes of Guo, it is a divine object for the benefit of the country and the people, ordinary rice grain crops can yield only a few stones per mu, but this sweet potato can produce dozens of stones per mu, ordinary rice grain crops may not be harvested in the face of drought and famine, but this sweet potato can grow as usual in arid and barren land and environment, what is this not a divine object? ! ……”

Everyone was infected by Guo Zhiyuan's generous statement, and Leng Xianning took the lead in saying: "What Guo Gongzi said is extremely true, although Xianning is a female streamer, she is also willing to do her meager part, and I will subscribe for 10,000 stones of sweet potatoes on behalf of my Leng family!" ……”

Yin Suiqi also shouted loudly: "Lord Guo is worried about the country and the people, he is really a model for my generation, and I also subscribed for 10,000 stones of sweet potatoes, so that the people of Min County can also follow the example of the people of Gutian and promote sweet potato planting!" ……”

Other people also generously subscribed to sweet potatoes, Huang Liu and others were completely isolated, and they had no shame to stay any longer, and they left angrily, without these few stirring sticks, the atmosphere of the poetry meeting became more active, and everyone chanted poems and wrote poems, with sweet potatoes as the theme, and created a lot of poetry masterpieces. At the end of the poetry meeting, the celebrities and gentlemen were still a little unsatisfied, and they agreed to come here to participate in the poetry meeting when the sweet potato harvest in Gutian next year was coming.

Through this poetry meeting, the reputation of sweet potatoes also spread in Fujian, and the wealthy class also began to accept sweet potatoes as a new crop. Sweet potatoes have gradually entered the field of commercial circulation, and discerning businessmen have come to Gutian to purchase sweet potatoes, and the common people have turned the inventory of sweet potatoes into white silver, and their hearts are completely down-to-earth, and the motivation to plant sweet potatoes is also more sufficient.

Guo Zhiyuan took advantage of the situation and began to promote corn and potato planting, with the precedent of sweet potatoes, the enthusiasm of the people for planting was very high, and the sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings prepared by the county government were quickly claimed by the people!

The second issue of "Xingming Daily" made a detailed report on the sweet potato poetry meeting, and also published all the poems and poems of the celebrities and scholars in praise of sweet potatoes, not everyone has the opportunity to publish their own poems in this era, so the celebrities are very interested in the "Xingming Daily" that published their poems, so that the influence of "Xingming Daily" in Shilin has been greatly enhanced, and Guo Zhiyuan's fame has naturally risen, at least in Fujian Shilin, he is known to be such a number one person.

The success of the promotion of sweet potatoes has also made Guo Zhiyuan's reputation in Gutian rise again, and now Gutian's work in all aspects has reached a new level, the population has more than doubled compared with Guo Zhiyuan before taking office, and the taxes that have never been collected are also unprecedentedly paid ten percent, not to mention the public security, even small cases of petty theft rarely occur, and even the most backward cultural and educational aspects because Guo Zhiyuan expanded the county school to increase the source of students also put a satellite, and suddenly passed the eight Xiucai, you must know that before this, It's been several years since Gutian was admitted to Xiucai!

Huang Bihua originally wanted to grasp the two weakest links in Gutian's history, taxation and culture and education, but he didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan to slap him in the face again with real political achievements, only Gutian completed ten percent of the tax collection in the counties under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture, and only Gutian was admitted to eight talents at one time, which marks that Gutian has jumped from the most backward county in Fuzhou Prefecture in terms of economy and culture and education to the top of the counties under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture. Therefore, Huang Bihua not only could not criticize Guo Zhiyuan, but also had to pinch his nose and issue an official document to commend Guo Zhiyuan's political achievements.

At this time, Huang Sihua finally realized that Guo Zhiyuan was powerful, such a person could not be suppressed by himself alone, only by finding a person who Guo Zhiyuan would never afford to offend Guo Zhiyuan, and soon he thought of a person who --- tax supervisor Gao Yu!

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to taxation, because it was related to their money bags, they couldn't trust the officials below, and they were worried that they would be corrupt, so they sent their most trusted people --- eunuchs to serve as tax supervisors, and looted private wealth for them, and those who could serve as tax supervisors were usually the emperor's henchmen and eunuchs!

The power of the tax supervisors is very great, they regard themselves as the people of the Son of Heaven, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of local officials at all levels, and they can also act as the eyes and ears of the emperor and impeach local officials at will, so local officials at all levels are talking about the change of color of tax supervisors, and they dare not provoke easily.

This Gao Yu is one of the "outstanding", he went to Fujian in 1599 to serve as a tax supervisor, appointed local ruffians and hooligans to serve as tax servants, expropriated tyranny, did all kinds of bad things, greatly disrupted Fujian's local economy, aroused great public indignation, Fujian local officials repeatedly played and impeached him, but failed to help him, but those officials who impeached him were made miserable by him.
