Li Chaosheng looked up, and saw that every household on the street outside had hung red lanterns with the word "happy", and there were red couplets at the door, which looked like the New Year from a distance.

Li Chaosheng was stunned and looked at Gu Zi who was mixed in the guard team, Gu Zi looked puzzled, he didn't know.

At this time, Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao, and Guo Bao said at this time: "County Zun, this is not arranged by me, and our 50,000 silver dollars do not include this." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned and said, "Then who can give me an explanation?" ”

After listening to Li Chaosheng's question, Shi Xiaolei, who was in charge of the investigation department, said: "County Zun, this matter really has nothing to do with us, it is all spontaneous by the people, I heard that because of the county wedding, there are now several county wedding preparation departments in the people, all of which are spontaneous by the people. ”

"Spontaneous?"

Li Chaosheng furrowed his brows, looked at Shi Xiaolei and said, "There is no one from us in the middle of this, right?" ”

Shi Xiaolei heard this and said, "I guarantee that there is none." ”

Li Chaosheng was relieved when he heard this, and then said to Shi Xiaolei: "Don't slack off in your investigation department, after my wedding, see if these so-called wedding preparation departments dissolve themselves, and if they find any behavior that wants to defraud the people of their hard-earned money, or any misdeeds, they will be arrested immediately." ”

"Yes."

Shi Xiaolei saluted and said yes.

Li Chaosheng nodded, that's it, followed the team and continued to move forward, Li Chaosheng passed by the door, and the couplet was written on the door of the door: The flowers are good, the moon is full, and the sun is happy, and the peach and willow are happy.

After this household, I followed and came to the door of another household, and then I saw the couplet written: "Even the branches are tied to the earth, and the winged bird is happy to fly to the sky."

It's another household: a good relationship for a long time, and a hundred years of good couples.

Li Chaosheng walked in front of the door, and then saw a head emerging on the wall of these people's houses, followed by a curious face, a little girl sat on her father's shoulder and floated out, just to see Li Chaosheng look over, the little girl said sweetly to Li Chaosheng: "Happy newlywed, hehe~"

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng waved his hand at the little girl: "You are also happy, you woke up so early." ”

"Well, I'm going to get up to see the bride's sister, and listen to my mother, the one who can marry the county must be the kindest and most beautiful woman in the world."

The little girl looked at Li Chaosheng innocently, her big eyes flickered, and she couldn't say that it was good-looking, Li Chaosheng sneered and laughed when she heard this, and at this time, a big head came up from under the little girl, and said to Li Chaosheng embarrassedly: "Hehe, the county is sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible." ”

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this: "It's okay, okay, I won't chat with you if I have something today, and I will leave." ”

After speaking, Li Chaosheng accelerated forward, if such a family continued, Li Chaosheng might not be able to get out of Lantian County today.

The brigade moved forward and soon left Lantian City, and when it approached the farm outside, Li Chaosheng saw a peasant household standing outside the cordon of the militia, and after seeing Li Chaosheng coming, he would burst into cheers.

Li Chaosheng waved to everyone, this is the support of the people for himself, Li Chaosheng was quite moved when he saw this, he just took two steps at this time, and the next moment he suddenly heard a shout: "Happy newlyweds in the county." ”

The next moment, Li Chaosheng saw that the villagers had already taken out a red silk cloth at some point, which was embroidered with black silk thread: I wish the county a happy wedding.

Li Chaosheng arched his hand at the villagers: "Fortunately, everyone." ”

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and they all said that it was their honor.

Li Chaosheng was also very moved when he heard this, and the team continued to move forward, Lantian had already built a spacious official road to Xi'an, and the avenue was wide enough to allow three carriages to run in parallel without affecting it.

This road is also called a road by the people because it only runs horse-drawn carriages.

Li Chaosheng rode in front, all the way forward, looking at the lush crops along the way, as well as the scattered farmhouses, he was quite proud in his heart, this is all his merit, especially when he saw those tiled houses built of red bricks and blue tiles, he couldn't help but ask where is this?

Gu Zi on the side immediately replied: "This is Kangjia Village, most of the sweet potato workshops in our county are concentrated here, and Kangjia Village has also become rich and strong because of the processing of sweet potatoes.

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded, and looked at these red brick and blue tile houses again, this house already looked a bit like the tile houses he saw in the modern countryside.

It's just that the glass on the window, it doesn't seem to be glass, it's still oily paper, as for the glass, Lantian currently has two large glass factories, but all the glass produced has been sold to Jiangnan as a luxury product, which has become a stepping stone for Lantian to the upper class in Jiangnan, helping Lantian to attract money crazily.

The workers of Lantian Glass Factory have been able to master the technology of glass blowing, especially after experiments, they can change the color of the glass by adding some elements to the glass, which makes the color of the glass more colorful, and is more touted by the wealthy businessmen and tyrants in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, pure and flawless glass is also marketable, because there are a group of officials in Jiangnan officialdom who like this kind of pure and flawless glass, because these officials are very proud, and they usually compare themselves with jade, but Lantian took out a few pure glass handicrafts in Jiangnan and presented them to a few officials, and said that the character of adults is so pure and flawless as glass.

This thing has set off a trend in Jiangnan, making the gentry in Jiangnan who do not have one or two of these high-end glasses that symbolize their own character, and they are inferior.

This is called vassal elegance.

There is something to do, and there is an effect at the bottom.

And for the glass, Lantian is still secret, it's not that Li Chaosheng doesn't want to sell it, the main thing is to control the quantity in order to sell it at a high price, so these two glass factories are now directly under the management of the military factory.

Why is it a military factory, because glass is currently being studied as a strategic material, you must know that the telescope is a very important military material to be made by the glass factory.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

In addition, in addition to these, Lantian developed the first low-power microscope in March this year, which was a lens that took more than a month to grind out by the best mirror grinding master in Lantian, and then processed and formed, the microscope is also known as Lantian No. 1 microscope telescope, which is made of special steel used in Lantian casting steel cannons.

It was then made by the glass factory in cooperation with the Lantian Steel Factory, although the multiplier that can be seen is very low, only 300 times, which is far worse than the ultra-high magnification optical microscope that Li Chaosheng brought from modern times, but this is also a high-grade invention, more than the world's first microscope to observe microorganisms.

Leeuwenhoek's microscope was decades earlier, and Leeuwenhoek's first microscope was invented and manufactured in 1665, the fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.

The birth of this microscope also represents that the basic science of Lantian can be further improved, after all, all the previous ultra-high magnification microscopes were sent to the top laboratories.

There are only a dozen or so units brought by Li Chaosheng, but now Lantian can make his own, which means that soon, the microscope can be popularized in the education class.

This is of immeasurable value to the development of basic science in Lantian and the development of the cause of education in the world.

Li Chaosheng thought about the development of Lantian in his heart, but the greeting team did not stop, because it was a newly built straight road, the speed of Lantian to Xi'an was much faster, Li Chaosheng looked at the cheering villagers all the way, and came all the way to Baqiao, which was Xi'an Mansion after Baqiao.

When he came to Baqiao, Li Chaosheng saw a group of officials wearing Ming official uniforms standing under the city of Xi'an, and at this time, Wang Huade, the prefect of Xi'an, led the magistrates of the surrounding 28 counties to stand outside the city gate to greet them.

These officials of the Ming Dynasty are now in an awkward position, nominally they are the magistrates of their county, but the administrative system of Lantian excludes these people at all.

The chief of the small things will be done, and the big things will be found by the middle chief, which leads to the fact that these magistrates are all bare-pole commanders, except for one person who retains two servants, of course, they are all the domestic servants of these people.

Some of the families divided the fields and went home to farm, and some of them who still had careers returned home to prepare for the militia examination, and continued to eat official meals as a militiaman.

As for these big men who are still following their own family, they are.

Of course, these county orders are also doing well, and the corrupt people did not have less money back then, and their lives were also good, but unfortunately, because they are in Lantian, and the imperial court has almost given up Lantian now, they are not a penny left.

The smarter ones tried to find a way to move themselves and continue to serve as officials in other places, but those who had no way could only stay in Lantian and continue to live a life of only two followers, and they couldn't get out of Xi'an City.

Of course, there are many of these people who want to take refuge in Lantian and want to eat in Lantian, after all, Lantian is now thriving, and the people are rich and oily.

It's a pity that Lantian's attitude towards them is not to accept, Guo Bao even proposed in Lantian's internal meeting: Even if no one is available, even if we wear multiple hats, we must completely abandon the old literati, and we will never allow these stinky meat to spoil Lantian's soup.

In this regard, some people say that Guo Bao is a little extreme, and there are good ones among the old literati, such as Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, which are good, but Guo Bao also asked rhetorically, there are thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there is one Lu Xiangsheng and one Sun Chuanting, doesn't this explain the problem?

If Lu Xiangsheng is promoted, Sun Chuanting is willing to take refuge in Lantian, and he Guo Bao is willing to let Xian.

Li Chaosheng agreed with the views of this meeting, and Li Chaosheng's purpose was to understand all the feudal remnants on this land and give the common people a peaceful and happy living environment.

Therefore, for these county orders and prefects who are trapped in Lantian, Li Chaosheng is all respectful and stays away.

However, at this time, a group of people stood at the gate of the city to greet him, which made Li Chaosheng a little difficult to refuse in person, and then the prefect Wang Huade came to Li Chaosheng in person and saluted Li Chaosheng: "Congratulations on the wedding of the county honor." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said: "Wang Governor's Mansion, I am a small Lantian magistrate, how can I bother you to salute me, and allow the officials to dismount and return the salute." ”

Hearing this, Wang Huade waved his hand again and again: "Don't be, the groom is the biggest official today." ”

When Li Chaosheng heard this, he looked at Wang Huade and said, "Then listen to the prefect." ”

Wang Huade hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Then I will lead the horse for the adult." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this, looked at Wang Huade and said, "It's not suitable." ”

"Hey, my lord, you work hard for Lantian, I can do something for my lord, that's very happy, my colleagues said yes?"

Hearing this, Wang Huade asked the magistrates behind him, and the magistrates said yes again and again when they heard this.

Li Chaosheng heard this, looked at Wang Huade and said, "Lord Wang has something to ask for, right?" ”

Wang Huade heard this and said: "Yes, my lord, that's the case, it's not a way for us to be idle in Xi'an Mansion, so we want to ask the adult to find us a job, if the adult is willing, we are willing to serve as a lieutenant under the adult, and the old man can serve as the lieutenant chief, and please take it in." ”

Li Chaosheng listened to this and looked at Wang Huade, Wang Huade was very uncomfortable by Li Chaosheng, but he still looked at Li Chaosheng with his scalp, Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said: "Lord Wang is a smart person, Lantian is in such a situation now, it is no longer able to accommodate adults, and now it is a little difficult for me to seek a position in Lantian, if Lord Wang has this spirit, it is better to operate outside Shaanxi, and I can't say that adults can be promoted to an official and a half position." ”

Wang Huade heard this and said, "My lord, give me a clear way." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, although Lantian is big now, but the official system can't tolerate you, you now have two ways to go, the first is to stay, voluntarily go to the official, you can bring your own family property, find a place in Lantian to become naturalized, and live a life in the field from now on, idle to study, get grandchildren, and be content." ”

"Another, you can operate outward, I also know some officials in the DPRK, if you are willing to show a generous filial piety, I can let them find a way to run you out of Shaanxi, to other places to continue to serve as a county commander, or other officials, how you choose, please do your own."

Saying that Li Chaosheng urged the horse, Wang Huade looked at Li Chaosheng when he heard this and said, "My lord, if we want to regulate Lantian County, what should we do?" ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "Prepare the money and wait for the letter." ”

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, he rode his horse away, leaving only a group of 'court officials' messy in the wind.

"Brother Wang, what do you want?"

One magistrate asked another magistrate, and then the royal brother said: "Forget it, this year is in chaos, I still settle down in Lantian, tomorrow I will go to Shangluo County, I have a house there, and I will be a farmer from now on, what about you, Brother Li?" ”

"Hey, ten years of cold windows, five years of scientific research, finally got a county, only three years in office to earn less than 10,000 taels, unwilling, I am ready to exercise again, see if I can save some money for myself."

Li Chaosheng rode forward, and Li Chaolong said on the side: "County Zun, are you really going to buy officials for their operation?" ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if these people are willing to be a farmer, it will be fine, if they still don't change, then they deserve to be unlucky, and we are short of money in Lantian, the money in their hands is the people's fat and people's ointment, if they don't loot it, wouldn't it be cheap for them." ”

"yes, shave them to the bottom, hahaha......"
