readx;? The new prefect Mu Zicai held a banquet, and Yang Jing, the criminal case promoter of the Baling County Ya, can be described as "famous in one day", and the Baling County Ya is also a door-to-door city, and the visitors rub shoulders in an endless stream.

However, Yang Jing was low-key and indifferent, refusing to see guests for many days, but the visitors did not return empty-handed, at least because of this, they made friends with Yang Zhixian.

Yang Zhixian, who has just been in office for more than half a year, has also been revealed, and it turns out that he is a jinshi in the same year as the prefect Mu Zi, and he also served as a noble official in the court, and it is not a small gain for everyone to be able to make friends with this special prefect.

But just a few days have passed, and many squires and wealthy families, as well as many literati and scholars, and even the villagers and elders, have all received an invitation!

It was an invitation sent by Yang Jing, not only to invite these people, but also to invite Mu Zicai to Baling County!

Mu Zicai had been thinking about inspecting all the counties and townships under his jurisdiction, preparing for a few days, and was about to set off, but he didn't expect Yang Jing to send out an invitation, just like a roundworm in his stomach!

Because he had a friendship with Yang Zhixian in the same year, and he had fought against the traitorous courtiers in the court, he also felt indignant and injustice about Yang Zhixian's debasement, and the first stop of this inspection would naturally be in Baling.

After receiving Yang Jing's invitation, Mu Zicai took Zuo Erguan and many subordinate officials to Baling County in a few days.

He was also degraded, inspected along the way, only to find out Yang Zhixian's local suffering, and also better understand why Yang Zhixian did not avoid suspicion to go to the prefect's yamen to pay homage to him, and knew more clearly that if he wanted to make a difference in the local area, unless he was really a "dog official" that everyone spited on, it was really difficult to make achievements.

It's just that he and Yang Zhixian came to Yang Jing's courtyard and participated in the sweet potato banquet held by Yang Jing for them, both he and Yang Zhixian were aroused by their enthusiasm and fighting spirit!

They are sensible, because the land under their jurisdiction is limited, and if they want to promote sweet potatoes, they must occupy farmland, so they have considered both the difficulty and the risk.

At first, they also had their own concerns, but after listening to Yang Jing's overall plan, they no longer had any doubts, and let Yang Jing start to invite all the local people over in the name of the three of them!

Because they are not thinking about the problem of sweet potatoes, but the problem of land, there is not much arable land, and the real difficulty in promoting sweet potato cultivation lies in the lack of arable land.

However, Yang Jing said that the Yuezhou Army belongs to the local garrison, although the local government does not have the power to mobilize the town army, but the town army has the authority to independently tuntian, and the commander of the town army has the right to mobilize the army to open up the wasteland!

With the relationship between Yang Jing and the Yuezhou Army, it is not difficult to get Luo Jin to organize people to open up wasteland and promote sweet potatoes!

The reason why there is less arable land in the jurisdiction of Gangneung Prefecture is because there are more mountainous areas, but sweet potatoes are very rampant, and the requirements for soil and water are not very high, even in the mountains, they can be planted!

And you can also use the clearing of the wasteland to replace part of the conscription!

In order to benefit the locality, Mu Zicai had actually made plans for a long time, and was ready to petition the imperial court to reduce the people's taxes and forced labor.

However, Gangneung Mansion is not too poor, mainly because of the serious gap between the rich and the poor, and there is not much hope that the imperial court will pass the petition for reduction.

But Yang Jing's opinion perfectly solves this problem, only the reduction and exemption are needed, and then let the people who get the reduction and exemption to help open up the land and try to plant sweet potatoes, and the success rate will be greatly increased!

Moreover, after the wasteland is reclaimed, there will be a lot of wealth, and those rich people must have their eyes shining and their mouths salivating!

Because the wasteland reclaimed by the garrison naturally belongs to the garrison, and the garrison can cultivate it, but the garrison atmosphere in the Song Dynasty is sluggish, and they are naturally not happy to let these big-headed soldiers go to farm.

But if the land is leased to the local wealthy, who distribute it to the tenants for farming, then the garrison can sit on the land and collect money!

And whether it is a garrison or a wealthy household, it is natural to pay taxes to the local government, so that the government has also completed the tax task, and there is even a surplus!

The rich need to cultivate new land, and naturally they need more labor, and those displaced people have a way to live!

Therefore, Yang Jing is not worried that those rich families will return disappointed at all, because for them, they do not need their human and financial resources to reclaim, and there will be ready-made arable land to rent at that time, which can be described as low investment and high return, it is simply Yang Jing giving them money!

As Yang Jing expected, this sweet potato banquet was very successful, under the witness of Mu Zicai, these rich families have expressed their greatest support for the promotion of sweet potatoes, and even some people took the initiative to ask when the Yuezhou army will be able to reclaim the wasteland and whether the site has been selected.

For them, sweet potatoes may also be a novelty, but what they care more about is already the land!

Feudal society is a society of the landlord class, and mastering the land is equivalent to mastering wealth, and no one will get along with the land.

However, Yang Jing still has many issues to consider, these things related to government affairs, considering all aspects, are beyond his ability, and they need to be handled by Mu Zicai and Yang Zhixian and other local officials, such as supervision, distribution and so on.

Of course, there is also the problem of sweet potato seedlings, at this time, the sweet potatoes in the medicine garden are a little more than an acre, and if you want to cultivate melon seedlings that can be planted in a short time, you need professional farmers to operate.

But sweet potatoes are new, no farmer has planting experience, the most experienced is Yang Jing, he needs to train the first batch of technical personnel, teach them how to raise seedlings and plant seeds, and so on.

Land reclamation may be able to start soon, because there are thousands of Yuezhou troops, and the scale of reclamation is very large, so the site selection is also very important, and the reclamation takes a long time, so it should be selected in winter.

Anyway, the soldiers of the Yuezhou army didn't have a chance to fight, so they gambled and drank to make trouble on weekdays, let them open up wasteland, increase their labor, exercise their bodies, and cultivate their discipline of obeying commands.

Everything is not achieved overnight, it requires great investment and dedication, and the time is relatively long, so you can only operate slowly, not in a hurry.

Yang Jing thought that it would be difficult to promote sweet potatoes this time, because this is a new thing, and the ancients were more conservative, so they should be very reluctant to new things and new rules.

Throughout ancient history, as long as it is related to the word change, it did not end well in the end, which shows how far the ancients stuck to the rules.

And this time it is very strange, because the prefect has only been in office for more than half a year, it is new, the prefect has just taken office, and it is also new, and the sweet potato has only been discovered for a few days, it is new from the past, all people and things are new, but these people gladly accepted it!

It doesn't seem reasonable, but there is a key person here, and that is Yang Jing!

If there was no Yang Jing to hold a sweet potato banquet ingeniously, so that they could really feel the various uses of sweet potatoes, if there was no Yang Jing proposed to let the garrison open up the wasteland, there would be no interest in the land, and the rich would not be so easy to enter, if there was no Yang Jing, Yang Zhixian would not have worked hard, and would not have visited Mu Zicai, if there was no Yang Jing, if it were not for Mu Zicai's admiration and favor for Yang Jing, there would have been no party at all!

These plans may eventually require Mu Zicai and Yang Zhixian to make a decision, except for cultivating technical farmers, other things may not need Yang Jing to do it himself, if there is no Yang Jing, it will not be possible to promote all this!

After the banquet, it can be said that everyone was happy, the people who wanted to see Yang Jing finally got their wish, and those who wanted to talk to Mu Zicai through Yang Jing also achieved their goals, Yang Jing even brought unexpected joy to the rich and landlords, and even the merchants smelled new business opportunities from Yang Jing!

It's just a trivial thing to use sweet potatoes to make desserts and snacks, but what really makes them excited is that according to Yang Jing's introduction, the seedlings of sweet potatoes can also be used to dye cloth!

In short, these people are coming to enjoy themselves, everyone's heart is planning for the future, and the entire Baling County seems to be full of vitality!

This person, the most afraid is that there is no hope, as long as there is a goal in his heart, this day will be delicious.

Mu Zicai thought that Yang Jing was just politely inviting him, thinking that this little pusher was really not arrogant, and he really invited him, the prefect.

But when he came, he knew that it was worth the trip!

In view of this, Mu Zicai was even more polite to Yang Jing, this is a great thing for the benefit of the people, they are the scholars who scolded Fang Yu in the court, and they keep worrying about the country and the people, but how many of them can do one or two practical things?

Now Yang Jing has given him such an opportunity, if he can really do this, it will be the proudest thing in his life!

When the banquet dispersed and the guests left, Mu Zicai, Yang Zhixian, and Yang Jing sat in the pavilion and said this, looking at the sweet potato field in the medicine garden not far away, which seemed a little barren and desolate, and suddenly felt that the future achievements were all on this small one-acre and three-point land!

"Yang Jing, there is really you, but there is one thing that the official is a little curious, this sweet potato has never been seen before, even the old scribe of the house, he can't recognize this thing, and the elders and elders in the township can't recognize it, how do you know so clearly?"

Yang Jing had expected that someone would ask this question, but he was born in Miao Village and had no experience of walking thousands of miles, so it was too far-fetched to say that reading 10,000 books, after all, scholars read four books, five classics and six arts.

So Yang Jing pretended to smile mysteriously, and said a little boldly: "Lord Prefect, it's rude to probe into other people's secrets so directly..."

Mu Zicai had already investigated Yang Jing's details, except for the old things about Yang Jing's life experience, Yang Jing had been innocent since he was a few years old, as for how he recognized this thing, he was afraid that he had seen it in the deep mountains and old forests, and he still didn't know, so he didn't ask more.

Thinking of the past incident about Yang Jing's life experience, Mu Zicai was also a little hesitant, as if he was considering whether to mention this matter, but after looking at Yang Zhixian's eyes, he saw that Yang Zhixian shook his head at him, and Mu Zicai knew that there was a reason for it, so he gave up for the time being.

Then he talked with Yang Zhixian and learned that Yang Jing had fallen into the cave and lost his memory, but that was all for later.

Just said that the three of them sat in the pavilion for a while, and Mu Zicai proposed that Yang Jing accompany him to inspect everywhere, and by the way, he also inspected the site of the wasteland.

While he was talking, a government official hurriedly ran over and reported to Yang Zhixian: "My lord, it's not good! Wu Sangui and Wu Yuanwai, who came to the banquet just in time, have died! The people in his family said that they had eaten our sweet potatoes and poisoned them, and they came to the door to ask for an explanation!"

Yang Zhixian couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his gaze to Mu Zicai, but Mu Zicai smiled and said.

"This is a fool, dozens of us have eaten sweet potatoes, and only one person except Wu Yuan has been poisoned? This kind of trick is too low-level, no matter who does it, it is just a clown who is killing himself. ”

Yang Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The more seemingly simple things, the more profound the meaning, the promotion of sweet potatoes is related to land reclamation and creating a new pattern, which will definitely touch the interests of some people, and the sharpness shown by the two adults will also make some people restless, just on this matter, although everyone knows that it cannot be a problem with sweet potatoes, but the three of them become tigers, if it is publicized, the people have a misunderstanding of sweet potatoes, and it will be a little troublesome to promote them in the future..."

Hearing Yang Jing say this, Mu Zicai also realized the potential crisis hidden behind this matter, so he said to Yang Jing: "That's true, no matter what, let's figure this matter out first, it's best to take the opportunity to find out this handful of people behind the troublemakers, and there will be no need to worry about it in the future, besides, let the official see how the famous Yang Tuiyi solves the case, isn't it?"
