That night, after Li Qingshui finished patrolling the city, he finally returned to the yamen to go through the handover procedures with Cao Baoxiang, he was still very excited, and kept chanting the word "soil taro" in his mouth, and his face was full of red light, as if he had found some treasure to save the world. Xia Erduo was even regarded by him as his right-hand man, and he always took Xia Erduo with him and refused to let go.

When going through the handover procedures, Li Qingshui couldn't help but ask: "Lord Cao, this person named Xia Xiancheng was hired by you privately, will you take him away after the handover with Wansheng this time?" ”

During the Ming Dynasty, the county commanders, governors, governors, and even larger officials all brought their own set of staff, all kinds of masters, all kinds of clerks, all of these people were not under the control of the imperial court, but only under the personal management of the officials, so the officials brought them when they took office, and they would take them away when they left office.

After Li Qingshui got acquainted with Xia Erduo, he found that he was very good at planting new crops such as taro, and he was like the Great Wall, where would he be willing to let go? I was worried that Cao Baoxiang was going to take this person away......

There was still Zhu Yuanzhang standing behind Cao Baoxiang, he casually glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and replied to Li Qingshui: "Although Xia Xiancheng was hired by this official, but this official did not plan to take him away, if you are interested, leave him by your side to listen to it." ”

Li Qingshui is overjoyed!

Xia Erduo was also very happy, in fact, he didn't want to change the environment, because he was loved by the people of the three counties here, and several squires were even planning to marry their daughters to him, so he really didn't want to move the land.

Cao Baoxiang said to Li Qingshui again: "In addition to Xia Xiancheng, I also want to recommend this Zhu Yuan to you." He stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang came out and shook it, and introduced himself: "The contemptible person's name is Zhu Chong." ”

"Oh, this is ......," Li Qingshui asked.

"This person is the head of the Whitewater Militia Regiment." Cao Baoxiang introduced seriously: "With him, the bandits and rogues will not be able to enter the boundary of Baishui, but they can ensure the safety of a county." ”

"The militia? What is it? The more Li Qingshui listened, the more confused he became.

>We're here. Whitewater is only a little peaceful now. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be a heroic figure! Li Qingshui was suddenly moved, and hurriedly came up to salute Zhu Yuanzhang: "Why is this white water so calm, it doesn't look like it was after the war, it turned out that Zhu Yuanwai was in charge." In order to be safe, please accept the late birth. ”

The people next to him are laughing secretly in their hearts, this new county order is indeed quite easy to fool, and it seems that it is also the type that reads a little silly, except for a warm heart and a few traces of green love for the people. Nothing else.

Zhu Yuanzhang's plan is that if he can fool him, he will just do it, and if he sees through it, he will have to take him down and force him to be obedient and obedient like the county orders of Baishui, Chengcheng, and Dali counties, but the young people of the Donglin Party are often not afraid of death, and flickering is a better way than forcing by force.

Since it's so easy to fool, it's easy to do next. Wang Er and Miao Mei appeared, they became the hundred households and the general banner of the nearby guards, Li Chujiu became the main Bo, Yang Hong became the canonical history, anyway, the officials in the county yali. All of them have been replaced, of course, these are all court officials, and they are registered in the ministry. So they can only use the names that have been registered in the ministry, which makes them feel very uncomfortable.

Li Qingshui is too menstruating. He was inexperienced and didn't see any flaws at all, and he said something like "the official will rely on everyone's support in the future", and this farce came to an end. This newborn calf of the Donglin Party had no idea that he had entered a den of thieves, and he was in a state of being hollowed out by thieves.

Li Qingshui wrote a letter to his mentor Qian Qianyi overnight, in which the benefits of taro were written in detail on several large sheets of rice paper, and the actual situation of planting taro in Baishui was also reported, and Qian Qianyi was urged to use his influence to promote this miraculous crop in the land of China. As a result, on the first day of his tenure, the new county magistrate dozed off in the bed.

An hour later, the letter was not delivered from the post station, but turned around and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's hand. Because all the post stations in Baishui are already controlled by the soldiers of Huanglong Cottage, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not let go, Li Qingshui will not want to send a scrap of paper out of the county at all.

"Brother Zhu, what did this chick of the Donglin Party write in the letter?" Yang Hong was beside him, looking at the letter with an unfriendly look in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "The content of his letter is good...... Xinli plays Qian Qianyi to use his influence to promote potatoes and solve the stomach problems of our Ming people. He has a good angle, Qian Qianyi is now the leader of the Donglin Party, and he has a lot of weight in speaking, as long as he opens his mouth, he can't really promote potatoes across the country. ”

"Oh?" Yang Hong's brows furrowed deeply: "This ...... This letter cannot be sent out, our rebellion is fundamentally dependent on the famine caused by the great drought, if the court solves the stomachs of the people, the foundation of the uprising will be shaken, there will be no more people to support us, and the whole world will become our enemy. ”

"You're right!" Zhu Yuanzhang first affirmed Yang Hong's opinion, then lowered his head and said, "But...... I can't stop this letter. ”

"Huh? Why? Are you afraid that if you can't believe it, Qian Qianyi will arouse suspicion? Yang Hong hurriedly said: "Find someone who can copy handwriting, and change the content of the letter to a letter to ask An Jia?" ”

"That's not the reason." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then said heavily: "The original intention of this letter is good, for the sake of the people...... If I destroy this letter, I will destroy the flame of hope that the people of the world will have enough to eat...... If such a despicable act is committed in order for the uprising to succeed, do we still have the face to claim to be doing the right thing for heaven? ”

"But ......" Yang Hong didn't know what to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Yin trickery has never been the right means to create history...... If this letter can really change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty and bring a happy life to the people, what if our uprising fails? Zhu Yuanzhang carefully folded the letter, stuffed it back into the envelope, and waved it to the post guard: "Send it out!" ”

"Yes!" The postman saluted and ran out quickly.

Yang Hong was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhu, among the people I know, your bearing is really unmatched. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, not taking advantage of this.

In the next riddle, Li Qingshui put on a positive attitude, jumping up and down on the white water, one moment in the city, one time outside the city, agriculture, commerce, he is interested in everything to intervene, it seems that he really wants to do a good job in a county order, and contribute to the people's lives can be better. Zhu Yuanzhang secretly instructed a few squires to bribe Li Qingshui and ask for benefits, but Li Qingshui refused to accept them and returned the bribes intact.

This man is almost flawed in his personal character! He is an orthodox, true Donglin partyman! It's not those fake Donglin party people who are full of benevolence and morality, but only know how to make personal gains!

In the blink of an eye, the end of autumn has arrived!

It's the harvest time of autumn potatoes again, and this time the harvest of autumn potatoes is better than that of earlier potatoes, because more people have planted potatoes, and everyone has more experience in planting potatoes, and the whole white water is filled with a joyful mood.

Li Qingshui was overjoyed, and he patrolled around the countryside of Tiankan all the time, watching the people pick a large number of potatoes home, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

However, the reply letter written from Qian Qianyi also arrived at this time, and after Li Qingshui read the reply, his original happy face was full of disappointment.

Xia Erduo couldn't help but leaned over: "Why is Lord County Zun unhappy?" ”

"Alas, the teacher rejected my request and wrote a long letter to scold me." Li Qingshui squeezed the letter tightly in his hand, because he squeezed it too hard, the thin letter paper was almost crushed by him, and a few crumpled corners of the paper stretched out from his clenched fist, looking very desolate.

"Huh?" Xia Erduo was puzzled: "It's a good thing to promote potatoes, why doesn't Lord Qian allow it?" ”

"I wrote such a long letter, the teacher didn't seem to look at it carefully at all, he didn't mention the benefits of the taro, and scolded me in the letter, saying that our Chinese sons and daughters have been planting rice and wheat for thousands of years, how can we grow other grains casually, which is not in line with the laws of our ancestors......" Li Qingshui's brows were so wrinkled that he almost crumpled them: "He also told me not to mess with these messy things, but to cultivate myself well, read more poetry and books, and continue to study ......"

Xia Erduo: "......"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two on the side, couldn't help but sigh lightly, Donglin Party, ideological rigidity is the biggest problem of this bastard party, potatoes have already flowed into China in the Ming Dynasty, but they have not been promoted until the death of the Ming Dynasty, who should be responsible for the sin? At this point, it is already self-evident.

Li Qingshui raised his head to the sky and muttered, "For the first time, I can't nod my head in agreement with my teacher's opinion...... I'm such a bad disciple. ”
