Although Du Shiyi and Zhang Jiazhen can be said to have an inextricable grudge, it has been nearly two years since Zhang Jiazhen resigned, and he has not seen each other since he arrived in Chengdu. Not only him, but according to what he learned afterwards, after receiving the holy order, Zhang Jiazhen immediately completed all the affairs and set off without delay, and did not alarm anyone when he left, let alone someone to see him off.

And Yu Wenrong did not stay in Chengdu for too long, so he set off to continue his duties as an incorruptible inspector. Since Fan Chengming he mentioned has not yet arrived, although Sima is still in the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he will not interfere in Du Shiyi's affairs. After inspecting Chengdu County School and checking the student books, Du Shiyi received a post from the four most famous families in Chengdu. In addition, those posts of medium or even first-class family masters who visited each other accumulated a thick stack.

Yizhou is also known as Shu County, although it is rich, but because it is located in the southwest, there is no extremely famous county family, even if it is a family that has lived in the local area for a long time, it is inevitable that in order to raise the background, the family is forced to pull the family to those famous family surnames. On this day, Du Shiyi deliberately gathered all the visits of the four major families, but saw that the four family heads arrived almost together.

A person who claimed to be a side branch of the Qinghe Cui family, probably knew that his sister had married into the Qinghe Cui family, and as soon as he came up, he was close to it, and his tone was respectful and warm; A branch claiming to be the Li clan of Zhaojun claimed to have the original handwriting of Li Jingxuan, a clan uncle who had been a prime minister during the reign of Gaozong; As for the other two, they are much more low-key, one is surnamed Luo, and the other is surnamed Wu, but they did not climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but modestly stated that their family has been thriving in Shu for more than 100 years.

Du Shiyi has always been smiling at them rushing to greet or express their feelings with him, until the person gradually came to an end, he said gently: "I have been released so far, but it has been more than three years, first for Wannian Lieutenant, and then for Zuo Shizhi, and it is the first time to become a foreign official." Bashu has always been rich, although it is not as good as the country of heaven in Guanzhong, but it is also a land of abundant products. However, when I first took office, I personally visited the villages and saw that although there were many fields, most of the irrigation water conservancy was old, and there were even disputes over water supply. I look at the north of Chengdu, close to the river, one can store water for drought use, one can repair the previous official canal, take water for more than 1,000 hectares of farmland nearby, and the county party to check the old files, the previous several county orders have also had this discussion, I heard that you are not delayed, or prevaricated? ”

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, as a big family with deep roots in Chengdu, there is not even a need for four families, as long as one or two work together, it is enough to make the new county order have nothing to do, but Du Shiyi's reputation was too big before, and the backstage was harder, so they had to be careful. At this time, listening to Du Shiyi talk about the cofferdam diversion canal and the storage of water and the establishment of a pond, the four heads of the families of different ages but all of them had a lot of city government glanced at each other, and Cui Yu, the old man who claimed to be the side branch of the Cui clan of Qinghe, laughed.

"Ming Gong, old and corrupt, explain one or two on behalf of you. It's not that we don't want to help Ming Gong build water conservancy to benefit the neighbors, but also let ourselves have some benefits, but we can't swallow this breath in our hearts, more and more foreigners have moved from all over the country to settle down in recent years, not to mention the land occupied everywhere, not to mention, and often fight with our locals for water, and even ruin the fields, saying that the land we have cultivated for generations is the wasteland they have newly reclaimed For this, not to mention disputes, there are even many lawsuits every year......"

Before he finished speaking, Du Shiyi interrupted him with a smile: "I'm afraid this is exaggerated?" You must know that all the fields they reclaim are outside their nationality, and if they are not registered, even if they sue the officials, they will inevitably lose, and besides, they have few people and many locals, and they are about to fight for each other, and they will also suffer. ”

Seeing that Du Shiyi had keenly recognized his bitter love scene, Cui Tang's face was a little embarrassed, but he quickly coughed and said: "Ming Gong's eyes are like torches, but these good things about building water conservancy, they have not pulled out a dime, but they have benefited the most, don't we pay money and make trouble for ourselves?" And Yuwen Zhongcheng's new policy also exempted these absconding refugees from servitude, which is really unfair to our local residents who keep to themselves. There are already younger generations in the clan who can't hold back their anxiety, and it makes no sense to say this."

Cui Tang is at the same time, and the other three people are also you and me. It is said that these outsiders poured into Bashu during the famine, causing some difficulties to the locals; It is said that most of the idle people in the city are these customers...... There are even people who mention those who pretend to be well-dressed households, annex the local Yongye Tiankou and divide the fields, and do not pay taxes, and can send tribute, so that the local scholars are full of righteous indignation. Speaking of zuihou, the four of them complained repeatedly, Du Shiyi watched coldly, and couldn't help sneering secretly in his heart.

Yu Wenrong's bracket is to check out all the customers who have escaped and hidden households, and recreate the registration book; And the fields are mainly covered by these households, which are not in the imperial court register. But for the real big landlords who have annexed countless people, they have not counted their acres. Therefore, the profit of customers is only exempted from paying taxes for a few years, while the profits of these large local households are from the past to the present, and even to the future

Therefore, when everyone's performance came to an end again, he said with a smile: "This time Yuwen Zhongcheng transited Chengdu, I have consulted him in person, and the well-dressed household will not mention the tribute for the time being, but the customer is not allowed to pay tribute unless he is served." Therefore, in addition to the dispute over land and water sources, you don't need to cāo heart when it comes to tribute matters that are closely related to your children. And ......"

Seeing that his sudden use of the word and the turn of the word really attracted everyone's attention, he said lightly: "Although every year now, there are more and more places in each township promoted by the examination, but the sage and the court ministers still feel that the Guozijian and the prefectures and counties are the right way. Although I even took the head of the head to make the head, I can be the captain of the ten thousand years, and I attach the most importance to it, and it is still the county school. Now that I am in charge of Chengdu, I must revitalize the declining county school. I will go to see the king of Yizhou Thorn History, please release the quota for the Shu County State Examination from next year, and set aside half of it for the county school

Li Longji, the son of heaven, has always advocated the rectification of schools, and even once reserved all the places for the state and county schools, while Chang'an Luoyang was directly released by the Guozi. However, even if the two capitals are the national eunuchs, the good and bad schools in the prefectures and counties in various places are uneven, and some of them simply exist in name only, and it has become a fashion for the ministers to seek recommendations, and they have been repeatedly banned. And the implication of Du Shiyi's words is not only to vigorously rectify the county school, but also to imply that he can be used as a recommender for the talents of Shu County

Nowadays, although it is difficult to get Jinshike, the Mingjing still has a good success rate

Although Cui Tang is a lot older, he has just rushed to the front again, but now he is the first to be excited. The reason is very simple, the Cui family of Shu County also had two county lieutenants a few years ago, a county order of Lingnan County, but after the expiration of the term, he had to return to the Ministry of Officials as a candidate, this candidate, one waited for fifteen years and died depressed, and the other two are still waiting in the capital, in addition, there is no one who has entered the official and every time he comes out, he starts from the outside, and if it goes on like this, the Cui family will sooner or later retire into a second-rate. So, his eyes flickered for a while, and then he asked cautiously: "I don't know how to select those who are extended by the county school?" ”

"Naturally, it is my proposition, or a test song, or a trial strategy. However, if the talent is high, regardless of the age or age, all can be enrolled. On the fifteenth day of each month, I will personally give lectures and exams. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cui Tang remembered that he was the only eldest grandson in his family who was still a scholar, so he narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Since Ming Gong has such a vision, the matter of cofferdam diversion and canal, my Cui family is willing to attach Jiwei."

Cui Tang was only provoked by the bait thrown by Du Shiyi, and immediately stretched out his neck to bite the hook, and the other three were immediately extremely annoyed. However, the four families have their own interests, and they can't talk about advancing and retreating together, and the three heads of the family can only pretend not to understand what Du Shiyi means. When it was time to say goodbye, as soon as the three of them came out of the leisurely second hall, they looked at Cui Tang coldly.

But under the annoyed stare of the six eyes, Cui Tang was very thick-skinned, and arched his hand disappreciatively and said: "You don't have to look at the old decay, my family Sun is familiar with the scriptures and history, and the poetry is not bad, if you can really get lucky to worship under the door of Du Ming's mansion, you will definitely be able to revitalize the Cui family in the future." Du Mingfu said that water conservancy is a matter of benefiting the neighbors, and the old man can afford to pay a few dollars, besides, Du Mingfu and the Cui family are in-laws, and I am a side branch of the Cui family of Qinghe, and I should also have one heart with the main family. ”

Seeing that the slippery old man said this, he happily walked away, and the other three glanced at each other, and the head of the Luo family and the head of the Wu family looked at Li Tianluo, the head of the Li family. The latter sneered and said: "This Cui Weng wants to be an official in the family, and he wants to go crazy, but the three of us are no better than his family, and they are gradually dilapidated to the point that there is only money left, so there is no need to rush for a while." ”

As he walked all the way out, he whispered: "You know, the new Governor of Yi is about to take office, as far as I know, it is Hanoi Fan Envoy, and Chang'an Zhang Xiangguo has a good relationship......

However, when Li Tianluo, who deliberately pretended to be well-informed, arrived at the gate of the county party, he collided with two young people. One of them was young and still a little childish, while the other was arrogant, and even when he saw them, the childish young man smiled and nodded to the three of them, while the other young man only raised his chin slightly to say hello. Faced with this situation, Li Tianluo's face couldn't help but sink like water, and the other two family heads also sank in their hearts.

Most of the customers in Chengdu are poor and have no foundation, but there are also well-dressed households who have moved from other places, and one of them is Yang's. Although Yang Xuanyan, the head of the Yang family, is from the Yang family in Hezhong, strictly speaking, it is only a branch of the famous Hongnong Yang family branch of the Shanggu Yang family, and the relationship is already far away, and the land purchased in Chengdu is only more than 1,000 acres, but it should not be underestimated. But the family of the young man was different.

Although the family is not from Shu County, but Langzhou in the northeast, it is not an extremely prominent famous family, but it has a lot of wealth, occupying no less than 10,000 acres of land in the four realms of Shu County, and there are many domestic slaves and tenants who do not have the name of the family, but they are heroic
