Chapter Seventy-Eight: Farming

Wang Meiren's brain began to run at high speed. The population of the Great Zhou Dynasty exceeded 100 million, and there were more than one million scholars? In this way, among the millions of people who study the seeds, every three years, there are more than 200 people who are promoted to the Jinshi, which shows the cruelty of the imperial examination.

Therefore, there are not many scholars who are called capable officials in the imperial examination, but there are certainly no fools. Wang Meiren is the best of these smart people.

In just an instant, Wang Meiren came to a series of conclusions. First of all, Xiao Rui said that something big is going to happen in the imperial court recently. In fact, the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty managed hundreds of millions of people, with a territory of tens of thousands of miles, either floods or droughts in some places, and even other strange things happened, so it can be said that big things happen every day. However, these things that are called big things locally can only be regarded as daily work in the central court. Then what can make a prince like Xiao Rui a big thing can only be the change of the throne.

Emperor Changping has always been in good health, and now he is older, but he has not reached the point where he will die. Therefore, it can't be a change in the throne, it can only be a change in the storage position. Combined with the recent turmoil in the succession, Wang Meiren easily came to the conclusion that the crown prince's position was unstable. It seems that the prince may really not be able to do it.

If the crown prince fails, then the officials of the prince's family will be liquidated. This is in response to what Xiao Rui said, and there are many vacant words.

Secondly, Xiao Rui asked himself not to be in a hurry, and first gave himself three years to cooperate with the Daomen of Ba Province to complete Qin Mingyue's Taoist plan. So, this time the reshuffle of the imperial court is not the ultimate, and now the status of these officials and magnates who have come up behind the prince's platform is not stable.

There will be big changes in three years.

That's a big deal.

Wang Meiren's heart was pounding.

Again, in Xiao Rui's words, they all said how he and Miss Mingyue were. What does this mean, it shows that the alliance between Xiao Rui and Miss Mingyue is very solid.

Also, what did Xiao Rui do after letting himself, the governor of Ba Province and the feudal official, take refuge in him? It is to help Miss Mingyue's Taoism to establish. What does this mean? This shows that Xiao Rui unconditionally supports Qin Mingyue.

This relationship can also be changed to say that Qin Mingyue should also unconditionally support Xiao Rui. What will happen to the prince who has the support of the future national teacher?

Wang Meiren doesn't have to think about it anymore.

There is another detail, Xiao Rui said, three years later, if what they do satisfies them, they will transfer themselves to the central court in the capital. However, Xiao Rui did not say what kind of official position he would hold, and what kind of rights he would hold, Xiao Rui did not say. However, Wang Meiren has already understood what Xiao Rui meant.

Xiao Rui is saying that when the time comes, what kind of official position he will have, everything depends on what he has done in Ba Province in the past three years? Anything is possible.

Of course, if this promise was only made by Xiao Rui, even if Xiao Rui was expected to be in the future, Wang Meiren might not believe it, but when Xiao Rui said this, Qin Mingyue nodded. Wang Meiren's heart became even hotter. Because if the future national teacher has such a guarantee, it is basically a certainty. Because no matter who is the emperor, the rights of the national teacher are there, and they will only increase, not decrease.

Wang Meiren immediately said: "Houqian must have done his best to die." ”

Xiao Rui was very satisfied.

Qin Mingyue spoke at this time: "Governor Wang, since we have already talked about this, I have to make a few requests to you. ”

Wang Meiren hurriedly looked respectful and listened carefully.

Qin Mingyue said: "First, I believe that you already know that I am going to run a Taoist school in Ba Province. This matter is mainly handled by the Daomen. However, I hope that the government will cooperate. If there are uncooperative officials, I hope you can give the name of the official to the person who picks the star. It's best if you can solve it, and if you can't solve it, Xingxinglou will solve it. ”

Wang Meiren's heart sank: What does this mean, is this the prosperity of those who follow me and the death of those who disobey me? However, Star Picking Tower has this confidence. He immediately said, "As the governor, I will definitely fully support the establishment of Taoism. ”

Qin Mingyue continued: "Second, I have a few things that I hope the government will cooperate. It is the promotion of new agricultural tools and new seeds. Although Ba Province is remote, there are many basins and fertile soil, but the people, especially those of all ethnic groups, are still accustomed to slash-and-burn farming, and such a low production method is very wasteful. If new farming methods, new seeds, new farming tools, and livestock can help to cultivate the land, it will certainly increase the grain production of Ba Province. At that time, maybe Ba Province will become a major grain-producing province compared with the two lakes. ”

In fact, Wang Meiren has been a governor for three years on this topic, and he has more profound experience, he said: "Miss Mingyue's opinion is very correct. I found out about this problem as soon as I arrived in Pakistan. So, for so many years, I've been working on this aspect of development. Although there have been some results, they have not been significant. This is mainly due to several reasons. One is that the rule of officials in Ba Province is somewhat complicated. Unlike other provinces, Ba Province is in charge of the imperial court. Many things in Ba Province are headed by the eight great families. So, I'm very limited. Not to mention this, even among the officials of Ba Province itself, there is no unity, and there are forces in all aspects. Of course, this situation is also abundant in other provinces. ”

"If I have the support of His Royal Highness King Qin and Miss Mingyue, and I am the governor, I am confident that I will unify the court officials of the entire province and work together to change the farming of the people in the province."

Xiao Rui said at this time: "The problem of the Eight Great Families is indeed a real problem. However, you don't have to worry, we came here this time, not to mention solving the problems of the entire Eight Great Families, at least we can attract a few families for you, and when the time comes, your task will be much easier. ”

Wang Meiren was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought that today, it seems that Qin Mingyue said about the feng shui of Dujiang City at the intersection of the three rivers. It seems that after the Bai family got the news, they were very moved. If Qin Mingyue really solved the feng shui problem in Dujiang City, was she afraid that the Bai family in Dujiang City would not obey her?

Also, before, he got the news that the Yun family in Cloud City seemed to have a close relationship with Xiao Rui, the King of Qin, and now Xiao Rui's deputy envoy Zeng Yukun was still standing in Cloud City. Speaking of which, when the time comes, the Yun family should also be under Xiao Rui's orders.

It's not easy for the Eight Great Families to get two. In the middle, it is not difficult to win over a few other families through these two families. Therefore, Xiao Rui said this with great credibility.

Wang Meiren smiled.
