Gu Chengyu glanced at this person, the appearance of thirty-seven or eight, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was quite honest. It's just that those smiling eyes make people feel that this person's temperament is afraid that it doesn't match Jean's appearance.

"It turned out to be Li Zhixian, Li Zhixian doesn't have to be polite!" Gu Chengyu leaned on his back with one hand, with a gentle smile on his face, but it gave Li Zhixian an invisible sense of oppression.

Li Yong's expression is calm, this person should not be underestimated! He has been an official for six years, and he was originally a magistrate in a poor rural area, and his life was very poor.

Now that Qinghe County has been transferred to Jingyuan Prefecture, although the grade has not been upgraded, Jingyuan Mansion is much better than the poor countryside.

What's more, there is a small wharf in Qinghe County, although it is not as good as Jiangnan, but the people's life is not very hard.

"I don't know that the adults have returned to the countryside, and the lower officials have not greeted them in person, which is a dereliction of duty by the lower officials!"

Li Yong actually wanted to come yesterday, but his henchman said that since Master Gu did not reveal his identity along the way, he must be eager to return to his hometown.

Let him wait for another day, wait for the family to go back to see his relatives, pack his luggage, and then go to the house with a courtesy, which is not rude. When he heard it, he also felt that it made a lot of sense.

I got up early in the morning to visit today, but I didn't expect Gu Chengyu to go out to visit friends earlier.

Since he came, he had to see people before he could go. Otherwise, if you lose your manners, let this Lord Gu feel that he doesn't look at the other party in his eyes, wouldn't it be wronged?

"Li Zhixian doesn't have to be worried, it's the official's eagerness to return to his hometown, and he doesn't know about Li Zhixian!" Gu Chengyu walked to the front of the house and made a gesture of invitation to Li Zhixian.

As soon as they entered, the villagers exploded.

"The fifth child of the Gu family is really older than the magistrate of the county! Look at the county lord nodded at the fifth child of the Gu family. ”

A villager looked at the two people who went in and sighed.

The man next to him hurriedly stepped back and pushed him, "Don't say it, what can we say?" People are court officials, do you know what it is to talk about court officials? ”

"Yes, yes! I really can't say that I've been working outside for a few months, so an official is amazing! Don't look at those old men who have silver, they are very angry on weekdays, but when they meet officials, they don't even dare to breathe! ”

"That's it! Otherwise, why did everyone sharpen their heads and drill into the imperial examination? Isn't it for the sake of being an official for the imperial examination? ”

"The old Gu family is really going to get up, look at how majestic the fifth old Gu family is!"

"It's still called the fifth child of the Gu family? People are already officials, haven't you seen that the county magistrate is still called Gu? ”

Gu Chengyu invited Li Zhixian to sit in the study room in the outer courtyard, and Zhu Pang was already waiting here. After all, it was one of the parents who came, and he was still white, so he always had to come to visit.

Besides, Gu Chengyu was not at home before, didn't he have to help entertain him?

"I heard that Lord Gu has been promoted to the attendant of the Hanlin Academy in just one month, congratulations to the officials!" Li Zhixian had already learned about Gu Chengyu's promotion, after all, the Lu family's edict was read out by Li Zhixian.

"The emperor's grace is mighty, and the official is also a fluke!" Gu Chengyu and Li Zhixian had an official fight.

As soon as Gu Chengyu saw this person, he knew that he was an old fritter in the officialdom.

He had already figured out the foundation of Li Zhixian, which was originally the magistrate of Qingfeng Mansion near the border pass, but this year he was transferred to Qinghe County of Jingyuan Prefecture to be the magistrate.

Qingfeng Mansion is close to the border, and the days can be imagined. Being able to be transferred to Jingyuan Mansion can be regarded as Li Yong's ability.

Li Yong's background is a farmer like Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu also has Liang Zhirui, a teacher, and Li Yong is not so lucky. They all relied on themselves to crawl and roll all the way, and they were able to gain a firm foothold in Qingfeng Mansion.

"That's also because your lordship is deeply valued by the emperor, and our Dayan Dynasty has not become a champion at such a young age. Your poems have also been read by the lower officials, and they can be compared with Zijian in ancient times. ”

Li Yong had already planned before, and he had to seize this opportunity. Gu Chengyu is so valued by the emperor, and his future is limitless.

I don't know what faction this Master Gu is, he has to explore the tone.

If you can really catch Gu Chengyu's boat, maybe you can really rise one liter in three years.

"Li Zhixian is really too famous, how can this official compare with Zijian?" As soon as Gu Chengyu saw Li Yong's appearance, he knew that the other party wanted to stand in his camp.

Gu Chengyu is not exclusive to these, it is normal to form an alliance in officialdom and form a group.

The emperor was old, and he had to plan for himself, and it was wise to have his own faction.

However, this Li Yong doesn't know what kind of character he is. If he is unscrupulous, he really doesn't dare to use it. Besides, his current official position is not high, and it is a little reluctant to take Li Yong for his own use.

Gu Chengyu coped with Li Yong's compliments while making plans in his heart.

After only a few breaths, Gu Chengyu decided to wait and see.

At the very least, you have to understand this Li Yong's temperament first, and then if you can be promoted to another level within three years, then these will not be a problem.

"I heard that Li Zhixian originally served in Qianqu County, Fengqing Prefecture, which is located at the border and has a hard life, but Li Zhixian has done a lot of practical things for the people."

Gu Chengyu didn't open his eyes and say nonsense, he had already asked someone to inquire before.

This Li Zhi County has a good reputation in the local area, and it should be impossible for corrupt officials.

Speaking of this, Li Yong frowned and sighed, "The life of the people there is hard!" The land is barren, and the people have difficulty even providing food and clothing. ”

Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang also fell silent when they heard this, it was a fact that they couldn't grow food. However, isn't Fengqing Mansion able to grow cotton?

"Li Zhi County, isn't the land in Fengqing Mansion suitable for growing cotton?"

The main place where cotton is grown is still in the area of Fengqing Province, and the cost of cotton transported from Fengqing Province has increased, so the price of cotton is not cheap.

Besides, Gu Chengyu consulted a lot of information, and the yield of cotton was not high, so it was necessary to prevent insect pests. And it is still difficult to obtain seeds, but there is a lot of labor input, which is a problem that needs to be solved.

Since ancient times, only the people have been deprived.

Don't look at the expensive cotton and cotton cloth in other state capitals, the people of Fengqing Mansion still can't eat enough to rely on cotton.

The price of cotton purchased by those merchants was not expensive, because the cost of transporting it from Phongqing Province to the state capitals was not small.

The yield of cotton is low, and the fields have to pay taxes, which is the same as growing grain here. Although the tax is paid, the rest can only be filled.

But Fengqing Mansion grows a lot of cotton, and it can't fill your stomach at all. There is no output from growing grain, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to pay the field tax.

Gu Chengyu saw that Li Yong's worried appearance did not seem to be fake, and it seemed that he was also an official who could think about the people.

It's just that his own future is more important, but as long as he has the ability to leave that place, Gu Chengyu believes that few people can stay there and continue to be an official.
