Chapter 105: Planning
Chen Xiangxian must also be willing for Wei Jiming to act as a county magistrate and associate with himself, so that he can ensure that no one around him will stand up and point fingers, which will affect the development of his general affairs and future promotion.
"Lord Wei, please speak!" Chen Xiangxian said.
"Your Excellency, do you remember that I mentioned Miss Li Keke to my adult last month." Wei Jiming said.
"Remember, didn't you say she's a strange woman? Kind and intelligent, I am also thinking about what you said, our Yunzhou is also a big land, but why the people are still very poor, in addition to management, the other is that the road construction you said is not perfect, so that our good things can not be transported, and businessmen do not want to come more, so I am also planning to repair the roads in our Yunzhou first, the second is to encourage everyone to reclaim the famine, three years without taxes, and then there is to reduce the taxes of merchants, so that more businessmen are willing to come to Yunzhou to buy and sell. Chen Xiangxian said that these are all decisions made by domestic slaves to come back after going to Wuyi County to inquire.
"My lord really loves the people like a son! But what I want to talk to you about today is also related to Miss Li Keke, not only with her, but also with our entire Wuyi County, Yunzhou, and even the entire Dayu Dynasty! Wei Jiming said without hurrying.
As soon as Chen Xiangxian heard Wei Jiming's words, according to some understanding of this young lady he had never met, coupled with Wei Jiming's current insipid attitude, he first determined that this matter was definitely not a bad thing, if it was not a bad thing, it was a good thing, and it was also a good thing for the entire dynasty. ”
"Miss Li Keke has found a vegetable that can be squeezed for oil, which is not only delicious, but also easy to grow and has a high yield, which can be planted twice a year." Wei Jiming said briefly.
"W-is this true?" Chen Xiangxian said with a little stammer. The excitement in my heart can be described as turbulent, if this is true, it will first be promoted in Yunzhou, and it will definitely be a big boost to my political achievements and future.
"Of course it's true, this time I came to the government to talk to the adults about this, and I also brought vegetable seeds and some oil." Wei Jiming said.
"Where?" Chen Xiangxian immediately asked.
"Your Excellency, please take a look." As he spoke, Wei Jiming bent down and lifted the small cloth bag and a small jar that he brought over and put on the ground, and put them on the table. opened the cloth bag, grabbed a handful of small black seeds, and said: "This is a kind of seed called rapeseed, and the oil is squeezed from this rapeseed." As he spoke, he opened the small jar on the table, "This is the vegetable oil that has been squeezed." "The moment you open it, the unique aroma of vegetable oil comes out.
Seeing the rapeseed and oil on the table, Chen Xiangxian stood up excitedly, grabbed a handful of rapeseed and looked at it again, and when he looked at the oil in his hand, he stretched his head to the top of the jar and looked at the oil in the jar, "Such a small seed." After speaking, he said: "This oil is so fragrant, Lord Wei, let's use this oil to fry a dish today, how about drinking two cups together?" ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Wei Jiming said.
"Someone!" Chen Sang-hyun shouted inside the house.
After the people guarding the door heard Chen Xiangxian's shout, the people who pushed open the study walked in a few steps and said, "My lord! ”
"Take this down and give it to the kitchen, and use this fried vegetables for dinner." Chen Xiangxian said.
"Yes!" The servant replied. As he spoke, he was about to walk out with the oil cylinder.
"Slowly, after this oil is put into the pot, you have to wait until there is no foam in the pot before you can fry the vegetables." Wei Jiming instructed.
"Yes." After answering, he went down with the oil cylinder.
"Master Wei, if there is anything else to say, I will definitely not shirk what I can do." After waiting for the man to walk away, Chen Xiangxian said sincerely. At the same time, I am also full of curiosity about Li Keke, what a strange woman!
"Miss Li is asking teachers for the children in the village, for the people in the village to live a good life, and paying for the construction of a workshop to invite everyone to work to earn money, or opening a medical hall to treat some people who can't afford to see a doctor for free, or recently brought a job to do for the homeless and begging people in the county, so that they can no longer continue to live a precarious life, and there is no tomorrow after today, including this rapeseed plant, she will come to me immediately, saying that she wants to promote this to the whole country, so that the people of the country can afford to eat oil in the future. She wants the people to live a little better and have a less hard life. Wei Jiming said, paused and then continued: "I sometimes wonder, why does a girl care so much about the people who have nothing to do with her? She has done more than I, the county magistrate, have done for the local people, and before I came to see the adults this time, when she came to me to tell me about rape, I also asked my doubts. Speaking of this, Wei Jiming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.
"Ouch, Master Wei, Brother Wei, you said it!" Chen Xiangxian couldn't help the excitement and anxiety in his heart this time.
Miss Li said: She originally had a happy and wealthy family, but unfortunately, her mother died after giving birth to her, and was criticized for the life of her mother, and was disliked by her father, and then her aunt became her stepmother, but she was not liked by her stepmother, and lived a worse life than the lowest people, often not enough to eat and dress and was bullied by her younger brothers and sisters, and on her fourteenth birthday, she was pushed into the water by her rude stepsister, and was salvaged and fell into a coma all night before waking up, when there was only one maid around to take care of her, Worry about her, cry for her. That is, after waking up, she completely gave up her longing for home and her expectations for her relatives, and left the so-called home with the maid. To help the people in the village, to help all those in need, but she doesn't want more people to live that kind of desperate and hopeless days of tomorrow, she said that the desperate and dark days are very bitter and tiring. She wants to help everyone and make their lives better. Speaking of the back, Wei Jiming's voice became softer, with pity in his voice, and his eyes drifted out of the window, towards Wuyi's place.
"I didn't expect Miss Li to have such a life experience, it's really hard for her to be a little girl." Chen Xiangxian sighed.
"I think about the discovery of rapeseed, this matter is an indispensable thing for the people and the court, so I want to ask the adults to join me in co-sponsoring Miss Li with the title of princess." Wei Jiming said.
"Princess?" Chen Xiangxian said in surprise after hearing this, it stands to reason that Miss Li's contribution to the imperial court is huge, and her help to the people of Wuyi County should also be rewarded, but it has never been a matter of asking for the title of this princess.
"Yes, the title of the princess." Wei Jiming said affirmatively, "Don't be surprised, Lord Chen, it naturally makes sense for me to say this." ”
"One is that Miss Li has the best heart and should be an example, and the other is that she should be rewarded for her contributions to the people and the country. Asking for the title of princess can not only reflect the love of the saint, but also an encouragement and reward for those who have made contributions to the people of the court. Wei Jiming analyzed.
"That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Holy One will agree!" Chen Xiangxian said worriedly.
"This point, Lord Chen does not have to worry, even if there are different opinions in the saint, but for the reward Miss Li is certain, we just have to do our best to seek a glory for this rare talent in our jurisdiction, whether it is successful or not, she will eventually be the pride of our Yunzhou, and will also bring us new opportunities in Yunzhou." Wei Jiming said again.
"Lord Wei is right, this matter will be discussed in detail after we finish eating, and I will definitely advance and retreat with Lord Chen." Chen Xiangxian said. The princess asks for this to be sealed or not, it is good for herself, one is to let Miss Li admit her own love, and then the rape matter After she and Wei Jiming are folded together, they will also be counted as their own credit, why not.
"Then thank you, Lord Chen." Wei Jiming said.
"Lord Wei doesn't have to be polite." Chen Xiangxian helped Wei Jiming up and said.
'Bang bang bang' A few knocks rang out on the door.
"Who?" Chen Xiangxian asked.
"Master, Mrs. said that the meal was ready and ready to be seated, and said that the dishes fried in the oil were very fragrant." The man standing outside the door said.
"The blessings of Lord Tuowei and Miss Li, I have a blessing today, please!" Chen Xiangxian made an inviting gesture and said.
"Lord Chen, please." Wei Jiming said politely. With that, the two walked out of the study.
After dinner, Wei Jiming stayed for a while, and only returned to Cuipingju after talking.
After another day's delay, he discussed some business with Chen Xiangxian before returning to Wuyi County.
After Wei Jiming left, Chen Xiangxian locked himself in the study, and an hour later, he came out with a good letter, found Ji Changsheng, who went to Wuyi County to inquire last time, and said: "You go back now and simply pack up, leave immediately, and personally deliver this letter to Master Cui, so that others can't let others know." ”
"My lord, what is this so important, and I have to send a letter to Lord Cui." Ji Changsheng asked.
"I can't say it yet, it's a good thing, I'll find out in a while." Chen Xiangxian said, "You must be cautious on the road. ”
"Yes." Ji Changsheng responded.
After Chen Xiangxian watched Ji Changsheng leave, he silently looked in the direction of the capital and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you thinking, sir, so happy?" Chen Xiangxian's wife, Shen, walked over and asked.
"In a few days, there will be a turbulent wave in the court, but unfortunately I can't see it!" Chen Xiangxian said with some regret.
"How does the master know? Is something going to happen? Shen asked a little anxiously, "Do you want me to ask my eldest sister and let her help say a few good words in front of my brother-in-law." ”
"Madame, this is a big good thing that has fallen on our heads, you will know in a few days, and you go back to clean up, and we will go to Wuyi County in two days." Chen Xiangxian said.
"Okay, what are you going to do in Wuyi County?" Shen asked.
