Push open the window and look into the distance, in the distance is a clear view of the Lingyun Treasure Tower, the golden lantern on behalf of the moon and the misty time and the rising tide of the river, but also reflect the ancient meaning of the Buddha of the world of the ten directions.

Glancing at the bright moon in the sky, the jade face as pure as silver, the star Beidou next to it was a slight brown red, as if covered with blood, making people feel a hint of ominousness.

I was a little indulgent in my inexplicable sorrow. But he still put away all the letterheads on the table and burned them one by one on the fire.

Thinking about what Huang Chun said in his letter, he subdued the one who was asked by several of our generals all night without results when we were robbed on Yushan Island, and finally gave a knife to the Japanese general who thought it was over.

And because of this, people learned a lot about the internal affairs of the Luo Wa, and made many arrangements, hoping to spontaneously cultivate and rebel against some forces among the Luo Wa daimyo to disrupt their dynasty and so on.

Thinking that Huang Chun knew that there was a secret spy personally controlled by Emperor Xinyue in Fu Shao's mansion from the beginning, I once again felt a sense of Yu Liang with Huang Chun, but I didn't have any jealousy, I just smiled.

The battle ahead seems to be in good shape from the battle report, but I am very worried that both sides are now using poisonous yellow powder, and I wonder if the generals are really in good health.

Qin Qing's letter said that General Zhu had not recovered from his injuries for many months, which also exacerbated some of my hidden worries.

About the only thing that reassures me a little is that Fu Shao said in his letter, Prince Jing has already returned to Pengcheng to accompany him, and Prince Li has gone to supervise the army, and the Holy Lord will soon recall Qin Qing and give us a complete marriage, and maybe Prince Ning and Huang Chun will also come back to change their guards.

These ten days have been in the palace courtyard, except for gossiping with the courtyard and the craftsmen in the garden, the rest of the time is very boring, the single pavilion Feng Shan adult feels very lonely, rarely interacts with people, and does not talk much with me, the superior secret investigation envoy and murder suspect, but still still brings a lot of books to pass the time for me to relieve boredom.

I flipped through the hand, most of them were some governance books, "Salt and Iron National Wealth Theory", "Qinghe Governance Examination", "Maritime Trade History", "Fa Sharp Blade", "Apocryphal Scripture Examination", "School System Chronicle", this book is a tome, if I am not bored here, I usually don't read many books and monographs.

I just didn't want to read it, but I realized that these books were quite novel, and I couldn't put it down. Most of the authors of these books are experts in a certain aspect, and it is also because of their expert perspective that they were promoted by Fu Shao to participate in administration, and then they used the theory of administrative effectiveness to investigate together, which is often more readable.

"I see that you are quite good at taking care of these flowers and mulberry fields," I leaned on the porch that day and chatted with a farmer named Zhang Lifeng, "I wonder if everyone can grow so well."

This Zhang Lifeng is not very old, but he has a lot of wrinkles on his skin all year round, and the crow's feet around his eyes look very kind when he laughs, and he replied lightly:

"Naturally, the old man doesn't need to plant this, my quality is also related to the year, utensils, and acres are all good in the government, but if it is so finely worked, it can't actually improve the yield much, just for the officials to eat a fresh home-grown one."

When I heard his sincerity, I asked sincerely, "Do you know how to increase production?" ”

"There is a large fertile land, God does not make trouble with floods and droughts, and the things planted are in line with the character of the land, there are all kinds of big windmills for irrigation, and all kinds of tools for plowing and ploughing the ground.

Nowadays, young people go out to run business or run darts for others, and the people who farm are not too young, so naturally the tools are good, and the land and crops are matched appropriately, so they can be planted."

Although I didn't understand much, I still heard a lot of things about him, such as which crops are resistant to drought, which are lodging resistant, which are suitable for one season, and which are delicate and must be served patiently to grow well.

I thought of what Qin Qingxin said, Prince Jing used the experience of the stabbing expert to decompose his movements, analyze his weapons, and make a set of efficient and practical stabbing techniques that can be quickly popularized into practice, so what about farming?

If the experience of such agricultural experts is decomposed, analyzed, and summarized from it, and then some experimental research and grinding, can it be made more efficient?

……

After staying for more than half a month, Shan Tingfeng finally closed the case, and after making a closing statement about the assassination of the Luo Wei ninja, our side had to move freely.

On the 21st day after I came out to conduct an unannounced investigation, I finally got the first information from the upper and lower levels of many counties and townships to verify the information.

In addition to sending the obtained information to Fu Shao, we summarized the overall information of Jiagu City, looked for questions from each different reason, and asked Shan Tingfeng for a horse, and rushed to the next stop, Fengyi City.

Judging from the situation in Jiagu City, in addition to the fact that there are many officials in the middle who have falsely increased their tax burdens, relying on the fact that the bottom does not know the situation, is illiterate and numeracy, and the full-screen squires help to publicize,

So they tied the knot with each other and exploited each other, so that except for a few rebellious people, most of the rebellious uprisings were somewhat related to the implementation of a wartime decree that changed the fields to mulberry.

Changing farmland to mulberry was a wartime economic policy made by Fu Shao in order to increase his income and raise military funds.

Because of the same acre of land, mulberry fields can weave all kinds of silk brocade for export, and they can get much higher economic benefits than planting rice to produce grain, so Fu Shao and Guo Youzhi came up with such an idea after discussion.

The government pays the farmers to buy the right to use their acres for five years, and trains them in the art of planting mulberry fields, so that they can grow mulberry fields on their own land, and the harvested mulberry fields are owned by the government's special income, and the farmers are paid the same income as when they grow rice, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.

At the same time, the government also gained more profit margins from the mulberry fields, and when the war was over and the use of the acres expired, the acres were returned to the farmers, who decided for themselves to choose the cultivation after that.

From the point of view of this decree itself, it should be a policy of both the government and the people. But as everyone knows, the implementation is very out of shape.

Since the value of the land was different in different places, and most of the land was purchased by the government to be operated by compradors in industries that were closely related to the government officials at the time, the businessmen pursued the nature of profit, so they used government means to lower the rental price of the land, and then illegally exploited the farmers who participated in the training of mulberry farmers.

On the farmer's side, there are also many people who are unwilling to learn new techniques in the first place, and are very reluctant to all innovations, and even some seventy or eighty-year-old people lead the whole village to protest and learn to plant mulberry fields, demanding that the land be returned, they want to plant their rice, and they are unwilling to learn, or they cannot grow anything after learning.

In the end, the relevant comprador businessmen and the cultivators blamed each other, fabricated charges, and abused each other, and the merchants simply put aside this group of original farmers and directly found mulberry farmers to cultivate on their behalf, and among them, there were former cultivators who sold the right to use the land for several years.

But he still thinks that this is the cultivated land that has been passed down from generation to generation, so he tramples and watered the mulberry seedlings planted by the mulberry farmers.

These civil lawsuits are really very different and reprimanded, and they made my head big for a while.

I couldn't help laughing dumbly, sure enough, it was difficult for a clean official to decide the family case, but it was constantly going to be messy.

And because of such a thing as Cao Qin's people in Jiagu City, I also delayed for a while, so I could only go to the next two stations, Fengyi City and Wuyang City, to do some more detailed verification.

The days gradually turned into summer, and the torrential rain in the summer flood season in Beiming also came as scheduled, and when I arrived in Fengyi City, I didn't expect that the government in the city, which also belonged to the criminal name, was already waiting for me at the gate of the city.

Although he is not a flatterer, he also has the heart of impartiality, and he must be said to be a good official, but his social skills are not weak at all. The government of Fengyi City judged that Wu Xize was probably a real person, so he simply came to pick me up.

Seeing that in such a rainy day, Wu Xize was sentenced by the Fengyi Mansion to lead two small servants, and the official robes and soap clothes were all wet waiting for me at the city gate, in order to arrange a hot meal for me and a place to live, I also had inexplicable intersecting feelings in my heart.

Originally, the eldest princess of my trip had already arranged a place to live, but because she left the basket at the first stop, she didn't go later.

But at this time, others seemed to have good intentions, but they were disrespectful.

Although I am not the main investigator of Fu Shao's errand, the two envoys and secret envoys will also send a report back to Fu Shao, from which I can naturally analyze a lot of truths about the merits of the people, so that many things will not be blinded, but if I can have more investigation of the people's feelings, wouldn't it be better?

While I was thinking, I shushed and greeted Lord Wu Xize who came over.

As far as my observation is concerned, compared with the local officials of Xinyue that I saw in my childhood, most of the officials in Beiming have undergone strict assessment and training in their respective relevant government affairs, and they are not completely vegetarian people.

But if we talk about the essential difference, I can't see any clues for a while, I just see that there are good officials everywhere, and there are bad officials everywhere.

However, it is only that Beiming is better in terms of professionalism and training, and if it is really honest and honest, it seems that it will take time.

However, anything, some consciousness, is good, too rapid change must also have a great hidden danger and rebound, the so-called long-term, water drops wear the change, is a more secure way.

As I spoke, I looked at Lord Wu who was already drinking tea with him in the back hall of the mansion, he was only forty years old, but he still had a vigorous vitality around him, he had no habit of snorting and drinking, he was polite to the people around him, and he hated the front and back hugs.

But at the same time, the backyard of his mansion is completely different from the idyllic scenery of Lord Shan.

During the conversation I learned that his father had been in the shipping business for a long time with the merchants of the Luo, Persian, and Jin-Russian merchants, and that he sought fame and fame for the sake of the family's face, and did not seek to exchange gold or silver for officials.

This is also the general living condition of Beiming officials, most of whom have a wealthy family wealth accumulated over several generations of business, or marry a wife from a merchant family who is very wealthy and does not need to rely on a small fortune to support his family.

They are officials, firstly, to facilitate more familiarity with and understanding policy tendencies, and secondly, it is also a kind of shelter and status symbol for family business, so compared with the officials of Xinyue who rely on power as a job because of the relative poverty of the country, officials in Beiming generally pay more attention to the deep meaning of power.

In the back hall of Wu Xize's mansion, the Panlong incense burner is lit with incense, and the tea room is randomly placed with copper duo and a complete set of northern celadon tea cups, and there are four-color hanging paintings around the hall wall.

On the two walls in the southeast are the "ukiyo-e" and "Qingming Riverside Map" of the Beiming copy master Mao Chengyi painted and framed, gorgeous and magnificent, in the corridor is Hokusai and hunting landscape paintings,

Zongda's hand-painted screen, the small table against the wall, and the masks that seem to be intended for children to imitate Ren Sheng Kyoyan and Kunlun Nu, and the horse head qin that is several sizes smaller.

These ancient and modern Chinese and foreign things are thrown there at will, showing a kind of taste and culture in a low-key and unpretentious manner.

Just as I was carefully observing, I saw a little boy with big eyes holding a little monkey, and his red face jumped up and ran to shout "Daddy, Daddy", and flew into Wu Xize's arms.

Wu Xize also changed his wet official robe at this time, only wearing ordinary clothes, and picked up the child with the little monkey in his arms very kindly, and smiled softly, "Good baby, call Uncle Fu."

This beautiful little boy of five or six years old looked at me, his big black eyes turned several times, his long eyelashes danced up and down, and while teasing the red peach-faced monkey in his arms, he timidly exclaimed, "Uncle Fu-"

"Good boy," I looked at the little monkey in his hand, smiled and asked him, "Is this little monkey a Luo Wei fire monkey?" ”

The little boy blinked his eyes wide and nodded.

I laughed again and said lightly, "Uncle hasn't seen a fire monkey, can you play with your uncle?" ”

The little boy looked at me timidly, then at his father, and then generously said, "General Kangxiu, go play with Uncle Fu."

"......," I was amused by the name, and I squirted out a mouthful of tea, "who gave this name?" ”

"Grandma," the little boy's crystal eyes sparkled, and he handed the monkey to me mischievously, and by the way, he climbed on my knee with the fire monkey and said, "After my uncle was robbed by the Japanese last year, my grandmother gave this name to the only monkey that was robbed on the boat." ”

"Okay," I teased General Kangxiu's paws, and the fire monkey immediately grabbed my hand with both hands, looking very flattering.

Although I don't like Japanese people, I'm not a boring venting person who advocates humiliating others as animals, but I don't need to disturb everyone's interest when I see that this nickname can bring a lot of joy to a family.

After all, there are too many such things that call each other animals.

According to Prince Ning, when he couldn't hold out in Weiyu City, in order to provoke him to fight, a boatload of sailors took turns to get off the ship and pee at the gate of Weiyu City.

In fact, when Xinyue and Luo Wei were at war, there were also many Xinyue families who named the dogs and cats guarding the door after the Japanese generals, and since ancient times, if the two countries were already at war, most of them would be so.

But as soon as the eternal interests of nations turn in the wrong direction, then these things also change with the propaganda of the nations and the peace of each other. If the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and there is no absolute relationship between countries that can be predicted.

On the second day, the weather was slightly better, and I took the baby son of Lord Wu Xize, who had become familiar with him very quickly, and his fire monkey "General Kangxiu" to wander around, along the winding Fengyi City in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The northern part of the plain is full of hills and mountains, criss-crossed paddy fields, woods, hills, dotted settlements, and beautiful lakes are scattered with Beiming-style canoes and boats.
