"Emperor, the front is the most lively place in Daxing County!"

Zhang Whale sat on the wheel of the carriage and said to Zhu Yijun in the carriage with a smile.

Lifting the curtain, Zhu Yijun glanced outside, and it was really lively here. Because it is close enough to the capital, and it is also attached to the capital of Chixian, it is naturally more advantageous than other places.

Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Daxing County is attached to Guo Chi County, which belongs to Dadu Road.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Daxing County was subordinate to Beiping Mansion, and when Beiping Mansion was changed to Shuntian Mansion, Daxing belonged to it. In the nineteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, and Daxing was based on Guojing County. At that time, the expansion of the capital completely included Daxing County into the scope of the capital.

Although there is still a small county town, this is already the boundary of the capital.

Although the small county seat has been retained, it actually has no practical significance, and Daxing is still the attached Guo County of Shuntianfu.

Zhu Yijun chose to implement the civil service system in Daxing County, but it actually has something to do with it. The relationship between Daxing and the capital is not far away, and it is really very suitable to say that it is not progressive. Once Daxing is effective, he can promote it to Shuntianfu.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhu Yijun began to wander around accompanied by Zhang Whale and others.

In fact, although it is quite lively here, it is still much worse than the capital. In the Ming Dynasty, Daxing was already a suburb of Beijing, but after all, it was a county, and there were still many people living here.

Stop-and-go, Zhu Yijun is not too tired, but he feels quite relish.

Since the crossing, more than ten years, he has been busy, and it is really the first time to come out for a walk like this.

"Emperor, let's find a place to eat!" Zhang Whale looked up at the sky and found that it was almost noon, so he couldn't help but say to Zhu Yijun: "Slave maid, there is a restaurant in front of me, it looks good." ”

Zhu Yijun looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Whale and found that there was a restaurant not far away.

The two-story building along the street is now a meal, and it looks quite lively.

Glancing at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun said angrily: "That's your East Factory's restaurant, right?" Those people who come in and out are not the people arranged by your East Factory, right? ”

Zhang Whale shook his head a little embarrassed and said, "I can't hide anything from the emperor, it is indeed the restaurant of Dongchang." But those people were not arranged by slaves and maids, and slaves and maids didn't dare to bully the king! ”

Regarding Zhu Yijun's bottom line, Zhang Whale knows very clearly, it doesn't matter if the restaurant is from Dongchang, after all, for the emperor's safety, it is acceptable to go to the Dongchang restaurant to eat. But if everyone is replaced by Dongchang and acting in front of the emperor, Zhang Whale doesn't have the courage.

Because Zhang Whale knew that if he really did this, he would be finished.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and his expression softened: "Okay, I've been walking all morning, and I'm hungry, let's go there to eat!" Let me taste the craftsmanship of your East Factory, I have heard that this East Factory restaurant is quite famous. ”

Zhang Whale hurriedly led the way in front and said flatteringly: "The people below don't know anything, and they are just blowing nonsense." ”

As for why Dongchang opened a restaurant here, Zhu Yijun is very clear in his heart. I put all the civil servants and reform things here, and it is normal for Dongchang to stare at it. Although he trusts Xu Wenchang and Hai Rui, this is the responsibility of Dongchang.

When the group entered the restaurant, Zhu Yijun found that it was quite lively, it seems that the good food of Dongchang is not a lie!

Seeing that Zhang Whale was going to greet the private room, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and sat down in a corner at random: "Since you are coming out, then don't lock yourself up again, it's lively and popular here, it's good." ”

When Zhu Yijun said this, Zhang Whale naturally didn't dare to say it, and hurriedly asked Zhang He behind him to wait, while he went to stare at the cooking himself.

Idle and bored, Zhu Yijun sat there drinking tea, his eyes swept over the lobby, wanting to hear if there were any interesting things or interesting people. Soon Zhu Yijun found an interesting person, it was an old man in his fifties.

Shaking his head and drinking there, he looked like a detached foreign object and was leisurely and complacent.

"Go, get that guy over and sit down!" Zhu Yijun instructed Zhang He beside him: "Just say that I invite him to drink!" ”

The old man was a cheerful one, and after getting the invitation, he came to Zhu Yijun's side with his own wine jug and his own wine glass. smiled and bowed his hand to Zhu Yijun, and then sat down opposite Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Whale also finished the dish at this time, and the old man was not polite, so he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.

Then his eyes lit up, and he took a sip of wine, and then he said, "Childe, the proprietor of this shop, right?" ”

Zhu Yijun didn't care about the old man's performance, just sipped tea from a teacup and looked at the old man with a smile. When the old man spoke, Zhu Yijun put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile, "How can you see it?" ”

"I've been here for so long, and the food has never tasted so good. Looking at the appearance of these guys, it is not difficult to guess the careful posture of the money shopkeeper over there. ”

Zhu Yijun suddenly smiled and said to the old man: "Mr. has good eyesight, I am indeed the proprietor of this shop, I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”

"Old decay Qiu Li!"

Zhu Yijun smiled and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Qiu, I am fortunate to be in Xiabai Exhibition Hall." ”

"What do you want to ask, for the sake of this drink, ask!" Qiu Li nodded, and while eating with his head down, he opened his mouth and said to Zhu Yijun.

"How does the gentleman know that I have something to inquire about?"

Qiu Li pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, who will invite others to dinner?" You should be a nobleman, please come over, naturally you have something to ask. But you have a shop here, they don't know anything, and the old man can't guess what you want to ask. ”

"Then the juniors won't go around the corner!" Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that the county order of this Daxing County is Hai Rui? ”

"You know Hai Rui too?" Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Of course, no one has ever heard of this Hai Rui's name, it is definitely like thunder!" ”

"It's Hai Rui!" Qiu Li said in admiration: "I heard that Hai Rui has the name of Qingtian before, but I didn't think there would be anything. There are many nominal people in this world, and besides, this official can't do a good job without being greedy. ”

"When Hai Rui first came to the county government, something happened too, and many officials quit."

"At that time, the old man felt that Hai Rui was just like this, although those officials were not very good, but without them, what would this yamen do? Unexpectedly, civil servants came later, and this Daxing County really let him Hai Rui govern it. ”

Zhu Yijun suddenly became interested, and asked with a smile: "Sir, please talk about it carefully!" ”

Seeing Zhu Yijun's interested look, the old man also opened the conversation.

"If you want to say what Hai Rui did before, it is also in line with his praise as a clean official, clean up the backlog of cases, and make decisions for the people, don't eat or take. dismissed a few officials in the yamen and punished the bullies on the street. ”

"It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the officials in the county government ran a lot, and a few officials also pretended to be sick at home."

"If it was Hai Rui when he was young, maybe it would be nothing, he could do it himself. Lao Yu had already heard that he used to do most of the affairs of the yamen alone, but now he is old. ”

"The old man still thinks about how long Hai Rui will be tired in office, who would have thought that those civil servants would come later."

"Although these people are young and can't do many things, Hai Rui teaches them, and they are familiar with them quickly. It's only been a long time, and Daxing County is different. The bullies on the street caught and judged, these civil servants did not eat, please did not collect money, and were busy with their affairs all day long. ”

"No official authority, no shelf, I don't know how many times stronger than the previous officials."

"The nursing homes have been reopened, and many elderly people who have no children or daughters have been taken over, and I heard that the food is not bad. I heard that many civil servants have gone to the countryside, claiming to go to every inch of Daxing County. ”

"What I didn't expect the most was that those civil servants would also farm, they took the people who couldn't farm the land, the old man lived for such a long time, I haven't seen it, maybe this is Dazhi!"

Zhu Yijun listened to Qiu Li's words, there was no expression on his face, but he had a plan in his heart.

Once this has been done, then the next step can be taken, which is to give Daxing a pillar industry, start enriching them, and implement a new commercial tax policy. Before the land tax is collected, the commercial tax is collected first.

Relying on the development of pre-existing industries is not enough to enrich the people, and new economic growth points are needed.

Qiu Li said, Zhu Yijun listened, this meal was also eaten very harmoniously, until the meal was finished, Qiu Li said: "I know that you are a nobleman, and I don't know what you are asking these for, but what I want to tell you is to be benevolent." ”

"It is not easy for the people to live such a life, for the sake of the people of Daxing, think more."

Looking at Qiu Li, who was drunk and left, Zhu Yijun sighed, stood up and said to Zhang Whale: "Let's go, let's go to Daxing County!" ”

At this time, the Daxing County Ya was also having lunch, and there were many people in the room.

The idea of this room is still borrowed from the lecture hall, a large room, long tables, chairs and benches, and a large pot of dishes made by the chef at the window. No one has a wooden dinner plate, what to eat in the past.

"What's going to eat at noon today?" Xu Wenchang came to the window with a plate and greeted the cook inside with a smile.

"Rice, cakes, and steamed buns!" The cook smiled and said, "As for the dishes, there are two, fried potato chips and green radish soup." ”

Xu Wenchang nodded, he had long been accustomed to the food in the room, after all, Hai Rui's old pick gave so much money. I only eat meat once a day, usually with turnips and greens, but this is the result of my own efforts, otherwise it will become a meat meal every month.

"A bowl of rice, another cake!" Xu Wenchang opened his mouth and said, "Get me more potatoes, and a bowl of radish soup." ”
