Chapter 148: Anhua intends to feast on the Mid-Autumn Festival

Previous Chapter

Li Guifu and Shen Yun unveiled the Gyeongju branch of Xingpyeong Cabinet Fang with smiles.

Immediately, Li Guifu hurriedly said a few words to the people about the benefits of Xingping Cabinet Workshop, and then left under the pretext. Seeing this scene, Shen Yun kept laughing secretly in his heart, Li Guifu was really interesting, and he couldn't even do this superficial effort.

After carefully inquiring about the operation mode of Xingping Cabinet Workshop to the shopkeeper Wang, Shen Yun laughed happily when he learned that the interest on the Miao loan to the people was only 20% within a year.

Although compared with the bank interest in later generations, this is still much higher, and it can even be worth the usury. However, compared with the current situation, the interest rate of 20% can definitely reduce many burdens on the people. There is no need to force the people to leave their homes, then the local governance will definitely go to a higher level.

After understanding this, Shen Yun raised the question of credibility and quota quite pertinently. After some guidance, the shopkeeper Wang thanked him again and again.

At this time, Shen Yun also raised the issue of wanting to borrow money in the name of the government in the future to the shopkeeper Wang as an equal. Such a rare thing, the shopkeeper Wang was also stunned. After Shen Yun explained, he nodded in agreement with a smile.

Shen Yun was also forced to have no choice, and after returning from the Fucheng Walled City, he went to several other towns one after another. Of course, in this process, the things promised to the people have exceeded the inventory of Anhua County. Borrowing money is also a matter of necessity, but the top priority is to solve the difficulties of the people.

Shen Yun has reason to believe that after a whole year of large-scale construction of civil engineering and water conservancy, by next year, Anhua County's tax will definitely be able to reach a new level.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper of the king, Shen Yun returned to Anhua County slowly, and his mind has been thinking about how to keep the momentum of Anhua County's prosperity continued.

However, there are always some sudden things that will interrupt Shen Yun's thoughts. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to arrive, Shen Yun promised in front of many gentry in Anhua County that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival would be based on the county school and hold a huge literary meeting. And now, the Mid-Autumn Festival is only ten days away.

Looking at the reminder he had posted on the wall, Shen Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the next period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to live again. The arrangement of the Wenhui can be arranged from the county to pay money and grain for those scholars from the county school to help arrange. Those students must be willing to go there. But for the invitation of the gentry, this is a headache.

When I walked out of the room, I happened to see a few servants enjoying the shade under the big tree in the back office. Shen Yun beckoned: "Qian San, come here." ”

Since all the fields in the county were re-registered, Shen Yun also added monthly salaries to all the servants in the county. Money can make ghosts grind, and naturally it also includes these ghostly servants. During this time, the officials in the county worshiped Shen Yun as a god, and even those under Xu Songpu were transferred to Shen Yun's men.

The person who was called Qian San was a man in his thirties, and when he heard Shen Yun's call, he hurriedly patted the soil on his buttocks, and bowed down to Shen Yun: "County Zun, I don't know what to call the villain?" Tell me what you command, and the villain will do it. ”

"It's not a big deal, go to the city and buy me fifty good invitations and come back. Well, this money should be enough. If you have any more, buy some drinks to cool off. ”

Qian San was overjoyed when he heard this, took the money handed over by Shen Yun, bowed down and nodded at Shen Yun again and again, and then hurriedly retreated in Shen Yun's funny gaze, and when he passed under the big tree, he smiled proudly at several of his colleagues.

In just two moments, Qian San came back, and in a package in his hand, all of them were the invitations that Shen Yun needed. I have to say that this guy is very thoughtful, not only bought ten more invitations for Shen Yun, but also brought a small pot of wine to Shen Yun.

"Qian San, are you blackmailing other small merchants again?" Shen Yun's eyes were a little playful, staring at Qian San is fierce look.

A man in his thirties suddenly felt a chill on the soles of his feet when Shen Yun saw it, and he laughed again and again: "The county is respected, how dare the little one." This is all what they sent when they heard that the county respected you for buying things. Hehe, you don't know, if it weren't for the villain's fast walking, he would probably take more things at this time. ”

Qian San's exaggerated expression made Shen Yun laugh, and then he put away his smile and warned: "The monthly salary that this county has given you is enough to be worth the income you usually get from searching the people." So it's enough to give me some restraint in the future. ”

Looking at Shen Yun's face, Qian San was still a little panicked in his heart. forcibly restrained his panic, and promised with a smile on his face: "The little one doesn't dare anymore." Please rest assured, brothers like us are not people who like to search the people. In the past, the county gave little money, and the family had a tight life, so they could only attack the villagers. Who's going to do that now. ”

Shen Yun nodded: "It's good to know, okay, what should I do when I go out." Let the others not wander around, I have something to send you in the afternoon. ”

Seeing Qian San leave, Shen Yun recalled the scribes he had dealt with, and began to write on the invitation.

Fortunately, Qian Sanduo brought ten more invitations, otherwise fifty would be a bit insufficient. When he put down the pen, Shen Yun rubbed his wrist and laughed at himself: "It seems that this article will be a little difficult to open." This invitation alone is a headache. I hope that the students of the county school can do the rest well. ”

Looking at the dried ink on the invitation, Shen Yun put them away one by one and put them back into the package.

Walking out the door with the package, the idle servants were waiting around. Shen Yun secretly laughed when he saw this, and nodded at these people: "Come here, there are a total of fifty-seven invitations, there are far and near here, you can divide them yourself." If the place is far away, you can ride there, and it will be delivered before this evening. ”

The servants took the invitations out one after another, and Shen Yun, who had finally solved a major matter, stretched his waist and returned to his room.

In Anhua County, many gentry were amazed by Shen Yun's actions in just a few months.

Although the inventory of acres of land and these things have caused many people to lose some tenants. But on the whole, what Shen Yun brought to Anhua County was a more prosperous literary style, a more prosperous economy, and more and more happy people. The township party is harmonious and friendly.

Such a picture is what many scholars have worked hard for, so even if there are some losses, they will not take it to heart. What's more, there is also the Kuang family's experience.

Some time ago, it was rumored that Shen Yun was impeached by Li Guifu, and many people were waiting. But when Shen Yun successively accompanied Shaanxi Road to mention the prison emperor Fu Duanming and Zhao Junxi, the waiter of the criminal department, he walked early in the morning, and finally came safe and sound, and regained the power from the county Chengjin Changling very strongly. The scholars of Anhua County have taken Shen Yun as a role model for educating the younger generation.

So when the time is getting closer and closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the gentry are somewhat looking forward to it and want to have a good relationship with this magistrate.

East of the city, Cen family.

Cen Shiwang's father and grandfather now have unspeakable regrets in their hearts. That day, just because of a momentary greed, he wanted to ask Shen Yun for more benefits. So much so that during the wait-and-see period, Shen Yun was disgusted. As a result, in the end, there was no share of them in the sale of tribute, and the county school lectured on the county, and the quota was earned, but it was not until next year.

Shen Yun is not as enthusiastic as the first time he came, and when he usually meets, he just doesn't say a few words.

Today, the scriptures of the county school lectures have been published three times. Every time, the old Confucian who lectured benefited a lot, and the Cen family's status in Gyeongju Shilin had been threatened. In the foreseeable future, these old Confucians and his family, as long as they have some background, will definitely be able to grow.

And their Cen family can only watch others sit on an equal footing with themselves.

When he was on an errand, the old lady of the Cen family ordered his subordinates to bring him in without thinking about it.

As soon as they met, they asked very politely: "I don't know why the official came here today?" ”

Old lady Cen is polite, but this errand doesn't dare to make a mistake. After all, the grandson of the family is also a county magistrate, not much worse than his own county. Therefore, he bowed very respectfully: "Mrs. Cen is good, Master Cen is good." The villain was ordered to come with an invitation to the two of them. My county wants to hold a literary meeting at the county school on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. First, I came to feast on you, and secondly, I came to test the knowledge of Anhua scholars. This is an invitation, and please accept it. ”

After taking the invitation with a look at his son, Old Lady Cen asked with a smile: "Let me ask you, who else did Shen Zhixian invite besides us?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive the princess, this time the county invited a full fifty-seven people, but the villain can't remember the name. has always had a relationship with the county lord before. ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Cen and Cen Musheng glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of shock.

There are more than fifty people, which can already represent most of the Anhua Shilin. If you add the scholars who went to the banquet, it will be the most powerful cultural meeting in Anhua in the past five years. But what shocked the two was not this, but that Shen Yun had actually attracted so many people in less than half a year.

Old lady Cen calmed down, smiled and said to the officer, "I'm tired." The official errand worked hard all the way, and followed my son to the account office to pay some small money, and went back to have a good meal. Mu Sheng, by the way, let the official bring a reply, so that Shen Zhixian can know our intentions. After finishing speaking, he motioned for Cen Musheng to go out with a smiling officer.

After a long time, Cen Musheng returned alone.

After waiting for Old Lady Cen to mutter for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Father, why do we need to be so polite to a small errand officer?" If it goes on like this, if Shen Yun knows, wouldn't it be a loss of our identity. ”

"Mu Sheng, you still haven't understood." Old Lady Cen shook his head and said with a slight sigh: "Believe it or not, Shen Yun will not ask about the experience of these errand soldiers at all. He wouldn't even glance at the reply. All he wanted was that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, our people were there. ”
