341, Huanglong's county order

It turned out to be the younger generation of the Donglin Party! Moreover, he is also a disciple of Qian Qianyi, who is notorious in later generations, which is really terrible

Cao Baoxiang's heart was suddenly unhappy, and Zhu Yuanzhang's brows also wrinkled slightly, if this person was bumped into by Yang Hong, would a white knife come in and a red knife out? Instant account! But this person can't be killed casually, because Cao Baoxiang is no longer a county magistrate now, and it is not possible to rely on Cao Baoxiang to write a letter to fool the court in the future, and this Li Qingshui must be allowed to cooperate, but not everyone in the world is afraid of death, and some people you put a knife on his neck, and he may not listen to you, so ...... If you don't use the same method for different people, you won't make a hasty move before Zhu Yuanzhang has figured out Li Qingshui's character.

Li Qingshui didn't know that he had been labeled as a "hateful person" on his face, and he said: "Late life was supposed to come at noon, but because I saw some strange things on the road, I delayed ......."

"Strange things?" Cao Baoxiang asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Li Qingshui said seriously: "At this time, it is already the beginning of August, why are the people of Baishui ploughing the fields and sowing seeds...... What makes sense? If you plant grain at this time, will you have time to harvest it in the fall? ”

His question made Cao Baoxiang and Zhu Yuanzhang feel surprised at the same time, the first thing this guy asked was about agriculture, and the first thing ordinary officials cared about was not all messy, gold, silver, copper and money? It seems that the Donglin Party is indeed more restrained in this regard, and few Donglin Party members will show the face of a corrupt official nakedly, in fact, aside from the words of vision and party contention, the Donglin Party is much stronger than the eunuchs and others in terms of self-cultivation.

Cao Bao laughed: "There is a special crop in our county, called soil taro, which is planted at this time and harvested in autumn." ”

"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Can you give a later life a look? Li Qingshui seemed to be full of interest, it turned out that on the way to see a large number of farmers in the suburbs of Baishui sowing, he was really surprised, he was a poor farmer child, hard work to learn fame, so he also knew a little about farming, never heard of sowing in early August, this way he tried to ask the farmers what they were doing, but asked back and forth, only heard the word taro, everything else is a question and three do not know.

In these years, the education level of the peasants is too low, and they speak upside down, and they don't know the essentials at all, and they are nervous when they see the readers, and they can't speak well, Li Qingshui didn't ask anything along the way, and after coming to the county seat, it was really full of questions. For example, whether the crop is good or not, how much is the yield per mu, the growth cycle, etc., he wants to ask to understand, and at the moment he catches Cao Baoxiang, the "senior", it is a rush to ask, which makes Cao Baoxiang cry and laugh.

Of course, Cao Baoxiang couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't want to get too close to the people of the Donglin Party, like him, a wild official who didn't love his uncle and didn't love him, saw people like people who had a party, someone took a photo, and a halo on his head, so he intuitively hated it, so he said: "This official called the county Cheng Xia Erduo to answer you." ”

"County?" Li Qingshui was slightly surprised: "I have seen the list of officials in Baishui in the Ministry of Officials, and there is no county official among them. ”

Cao Baoxiang spread his hands and said: "This person was hired by this official, and he didn't report it to the Ministry of Officials, so don't blame him." ”

"Oh, I see!" Li Qingshui is not surprised, the county order to hire some people privately, it is the norm, although he personally does not like to do this, only likes the simple style of one master, one servant and one donkey, but he can't control others.

After a while, Xia Erduo called out that he had not yet touched the core of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and had always thought that he was really working for the imperial court, so when he heard that the new county order had come, he also felt very nervous, and was afraid that he would be disliked by the new county order.

Li Qingshui took a bite of the potato and was immediately moved! This kind of food is really delicious, the taste is excellent, although the taste is worse than rice, but it is stronger than brown rice, his family is poor, he has not eaten a few good meals, although he has been admitted to the Jinshi now, but because this is the first time to be an official, there is no chance of corruption, so life is still simple, usually eat some brown rice coarse grains, it is rare to eat something that does not cough teeth.

"This ...... This stuff is delicious! Li Qingshui couldn't help but sigh: "Such a delicious thing must be sold very expensive, and the yield per mu must not be high." ”

"The yield per mu is high, it can reach one or two thousand catties!" Xia Erduo said with a smile: "When the county lord enters the city, he will know that now the taro in our city has been reduced to five yuan a catty, as long as the batch of autumn taro planted now is harvested, it will have to be lowered again!" ”

Li Qingshui was really taken aback, and said with great joy: "There are all such good things? Even Cao Baoxiang ignored it, and followed Xia Erduo to the city. In fact, the Donglin Party members are not all stupid*, many of them are also good for the country and the people, and the original intention is still to hope that the country can do better and the people can live happier.

The concept of the scholar is "to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations", these words, the more they are in the young people, the easier it is to be reflected, but the older people are, the easier it is to become slippery, become accidents, become lose passion and motivation, rigid thinking, and narrow vision, so the big officials of the Donglin Party are often stupid, but the younger generation of Donglin Party people like Li Qingshui have more shining points than shortcomings.

If it was a corrupt official, he would never be as concerned about food as he was!

Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind Li Qingshui, and couldn't help but whisper to Cao Baoxiang: "This Li Qingshui is not bad!" ”

Cao Baoxiang smashed his mouth, he really rarely heard Zhu Yuanzhang praise people, and when he heard this, he immediately became jealous. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "When you first came to Baishui, what was the first thing you did?" ”

Cao Baoxiang hurriedly replied: "I went to the yamen to hand over the official seal, county treasury, account books, documents and other things......

"Look at what people do first!"

"Uh......" Cao Baoxiang was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "You value the official position, and he values the people's livelihood even more, so when you hear something beneficial to the people's livelihood, you can't even care about the official seal and run away, so you have been pressed by me for a few years and have achieved nothing, and he can get a compliment from me as soon as he comes." ”

Cao Baoxiang sweated profusely, and hurriedly said: "Listening to the adult's head drink, it is really like a ...... of Daigo"

"Okay, okay, let's start filming again, this habit must be broken for me." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "After the handover, you have to give up the position of this county order, will you feel a little empty in your heart?" ”

"Sort of!" Cao Baoxiang said helplessly: "After ten years of hard study, I finally made a name for myself, and I mixed up a seven-grade sesame official, but it was gone in a blink of an eye...... I don't know what to do in the future. Yes...... Xia Guan lost his words, followed the adults, Xia Guan's future is bright, there is no such ...... That one...... Absolutely nothing empty! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him deeply, stopping him from continuing to talk clichés and empty words, Cao Baoxiang softened like a balloon leaking, although he made up his mind not to report back to the Ministry of Officials after the handover, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, but he still couldn't let go of his official position in his heart...... It's obviously a county order! It's all gone this time, how can people live well?

"If you lose a county order, I'll give you another county order!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the Huanglong Mountains in the north and said seriously: "I plan to turn the old village of Huanglong Mountain into a county seat, and name it Huanglong County, and you will go to Huanglong County to be the county magistrate." ”

"Huh?" Cao Bao was stunned.

"There are still thousands of people left in Laozhai, although in terms of a county, the number is a little less, but it is barely deserved, in the future, I will send people in, and turn Laozhai into a veritable county town......" Zhu Yuanzhang said this, paused and said: "Now it is Uncle De and the poodle who manage the village, Uncle De is too old, and he doesn't have the heart to take care of many things, the two brothers don't learn and don't know how to fight, and the government affairs are completely gone, you go to replace Uncle De, let him grow up for a long time, In addition, I called the two poodle brothers out of the mountain to follow me to fight...... Huanglong County, from now on, it will be handed over to you. ”

Cao Baoxiang was really an unexpected surprise, he thought that after being replaced from the county position, he would become a staff member with no real job, and he could only help Zhu Yuanzhang with chores, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to hand over the old village of Huanglongshan to him, this is really a surprise in a surprise, an accident in an accident.

If you are a court official in another place, you must not know what is worth going to in Huanglongshan Village, but Cao Baoxiang has been with this group of thieves for a long time, and he knows the status of Huanglongshan Village in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, it is from the base, and being the boss there means stability and safety! Very stable and safe! It is far better than places such as Guanbaishui, Chengcheng, and Dali.

Maybe the three counties outside the mountain were turned upside down by artillery fire, and the old village of Huanglong Mountain didn't even shoot an arrow there!

Cao Baoxiang couldn't help but kneel: "My lord...... It's really ...... that someone like Xia Guan can be reused by you Alas...... This time the lower official is not a sycophant, it is really not a sycophant......" As he spoke, tears flowed down, he was thrown around like a broken sack by the imperial court before, and he was thrown to the cusp of the storm, he felt like he was not needed and had no value, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, which really flattered him.

This time, he's really not a sycophant!

In fact, it is not easy for anyone to live in this troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty! It's not easy to be rogue, it's not easy for the officers and soldiers, it's not easy for the county commanders, it's not easy for the big officials, and even Emperor Chongzhen is not easy to live! (To be continued.)
