Chapter 264: Reminiscence
Li Jin lived to this age, he used to be a scholar, and now he will be regarded as a tea shop owner, he has always followed the rules, and the taxes he should pay will not be less, but he is afraid that he will be sent by the official Cao to find him, and he will lose the dignity of a scholar.
He knew that ordinary businessmen would avoid paying taxes, but he couldn't guess what the methods were, and naturally he didn't know that he could actually use this method to push backwards.
It took him nearly four days to finish the manuscript.
Compared with the example given by Gu Yanzhang, Li Jin felt uneasy in his heart.
He cherished this opportunity very much, and really didn't want to mess it up, but now that it had taken too long, he really couldn't put it off any longer, lest he be suspected of doing things too slowly.
He trembled and turned in his work.
As a result, he was immediately sent to rest.
In the house, after reading the finished manuscript made by Li Jin, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but sigh, and took out another Ganxian manuscript for reference.
The manuscript of the search in Ganxian County was made by Ji Qingling.
After comparing the two, he put the manuscript on the table, a little worried.
Ji Qingling naturally noticed his movements, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" β
As he spoke, he picked up the two things and looked at them again.
"It's a little shallow."
She commented.
Gu Yanzhang nodded.
Looking at it alone, it is not so obvious, but when the two are put together, it is simply clear at a glance, and the judgment is made.
"But Fifth Brother, you originally planned to ask him to do the Sangtian tax, Brother Li is serious in his work, and he is a little shallow, but he is not in the way?" Ji Qingling looked at the expression on Gu Yanzhang's face and couldn't help but ask again.
It was expected, why did the fifth brother make such a pity.
"Out of the way."
Gu Yanzhang replied.
He looked at Ji Qingling and sighed in his heart.
Good staff members are really hard to find, and those who are really talented are not confined to one or two places, whether it is Jinshi, Technique, etc., where can they not find a good way out, and they really won't fall into the realm of giving him a new entry into the eunuch as a staff.
It's not Zaifu, it's not a powerful minister, a talented person, why follow you?
People use their own skills as stepping stones, even if they can't trade with the emperor's family, they can go in and out of the powerful family as they like, and in the future, relying on the background of the main family, it will naturally be easier to get ahead.
Although Li Jin's ability is not good, he is better at being steady and steadfast, and even if he knows that he can't do it, he doesn't shout bitterness or difficulty, and he can finish it hard. Maybe the quality can't fully meet his requirements, but among ordinary people, it's actually not bad.
Gu Yanzhang has always had a clear understanding of his current situation, and he has never had too high expectations for the staff team he can have, even if it is a person like Li Jin, who actually doesn't have much ability, he has to use it.
Without him, there is really no manpower.
If you are still related to Qingling's family, clansmen, and relatives, these are much simpler.
Ordinary scholars always disdain cronyism when they are studying, but when they are also officials, they will truly appreciate the meaning of this word.
Compared with the staff who were recruited from outside and introduced by others, they are naturally more trustworthy than their own relatives, and everyone has common interests, sitting in the same boat, they are many times closer than the rest of the living - after all, blood is a natural bond.
The more he thought about it, the more pity Gu Yanzhang felt.
If Qingling is a man......
With her ability, those on the side dare not say that it is more than enough to govern a state.
If there is such a staff......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up Ji Qingling's half-arranged manuscript from the table and take a cursory look.
It would be very comfortable to have such a staff......
Seeing the subtleties, the logic is clear, and it is an exaggeration to say that it is far-sighted, but it is not too much to say that there are hills and valleys in the chest.
If you ask yourself to sort out such a search, because he followed it from beginning to end, his understanding and grasp of it is naturally not comparable to Qingling, and the results will definitely be more profound and closer to the facts.
But when it comes to which is higher and which is lower, it is really difficult to distinguish.
Qingling's manuscript is a different way, with a different opinion, and sometimes he can't help but want to be amazed.
Obviously, he was only eight years old when he fled, how did his father-in-law and mother-in-law raise such a wonderful person!
If Qingling is a man, he wants to come to the present......
Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang immediately felt that something was wrong.
How can it be a man!
If Qingling is a man, what will he do? Without a daughter-in-law, don't you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?!
He hurriedly shook off the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, put the manuscript in his hand back on the table, and asked, "Qingling, here, how did you think that it could be used to calculate the taxes of Qian Gu?" β
"I don't know, I think of ...... when I think of it," Ji Qingling said honestly.
Actually, I really thought of it.
In the end, it's really a matter of vision.
In his previous life, Ji's father was the third envoy, managing the finances of the imperial court, and the difficulty was many times higher than that of this small Shangzhou.
Ji Qingling grew up in his hands since he was a child, and he followed his brother to receive the same teachings, and the content and methods he came into contact with were naturally not something that ordinary people could see.
It is not Ji Qingling herself who is smart, but Ji's father, whom she inherited from her previous life.
"It's my father's ......" Ji Qingling was only halfway through his words, but suddenly stopped.
Scattered images flashed through her mind.
In the study of my brother in my previous life, there were scattered books, unspread picture scrolls, pens dipped in ink, only half of the Hui ink was polished, and the letter on the table that was only half replied toβ
What were you doing at the time?
Yes, I disliked the play books written outside and didn't look good, so I complained to my father, and my father asked my second brother to write her a few new ones.
It seems that the second brother called her and said that the play book was written, and asked her to go over and take a look, if there is anything bad, it is convenient to change it.
She happened to bump into the third brother asking the second brother at that time.
"What kind of insect is this, just looking at the depiction, before I see it, I feel ugly!"
"You're eighteen, and you boast of being well-read, but you don't even know how to be an ash worm! Go to the book at home! Fortunately, it was me who asked, if my father knows, I'm afraid you don't want to raise a bug next year! β
Curious, she deliberately stretched out her head to take a look.
It was a letter from the second brother who was communicating with his eldest brother who was far away in Sichuan and Shu.
She quickly found the phrase that the third brother said to describe the "bug".
The insect is as big as lice...... The mouthparts are long and round, the wings are like flies, the raw eyes are more than ten, and the color is orange......
β¦β¦ Now nine out of ten are produced in Sichuan and Shu, and there is a lot of wax per year, a total of more than 400,000 quintals last year, white in color, smokeless, compared to beeswax, the cost is only fifty-one, and the light is stable and bright.
β¦β¦ It is being implemented, and the land of Sichuan, Guangnan, and Jiangxi can be stored and raised, without consuming fields, and incubated in privet and ash trees alone......
The words in Ji Qingling's mind became clearer and clearer.
Its insect is as big as lice, after the miscanthus is planted, it extends the edge of the branch, eats juice and spits, sticks to the tender stem, the mouthparts are long and round, the wings are like a fly, the raw eyes are more than ten, and the color is orange......
It's an ash worm!
If this place was in Sichuan and Shu, she must have remembered it a long time ago!
This is in Ganzhou, historically, this place is not a place where ash worms are prolific!
