Chen Hongshou was locked in the prisoner's cart outside the porch, and the thick stainless steel fence prevented people from wanting to go out. In fact, this cage used to be used by the juggling troupe to hold bears, and I don't know where Nie Dahai, the bastard, got it. In the cold wind, Chen Hongshou was wrapped in a thick military coat, and his legs were covered with a tattered blanket that emitted a foul smell.

Wu Changshi, Ma Shiqi and Li Xiao walked through the prisoner car with greetings, ignoring Chen Hongshou, who had snot inside, as for Chen Hongshou's call and wail, it was regarded as singing.

"Lord Governor, please rest assured, the affairs of Shandong students are wrapped up in the old decay. As long as this old bone is not breathing, see which king and eight lambs dare to make a mistake. "King Mashiqi's domineering spirit exploded, not like the top leader of education in a province, but like a big brother in the underworld.

"You can rest assured of Shandong's taxes, in the future, when you point to the east, I will never look to the west when I am in Wuchang. It is really a privilege to be an official under the command of the governor in his lifetime. "Wu Changshi's tongue is a little curled, Wuliangye is a good thing. It's that after drinking on an empty stomach, the stomach is on fire.

"So! In the future, Shandong government affairs, the political envoy Sun Lao will also rely on the two adults. Li Xiao smiled and arched his hand.

"Definitely! Certain! Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi gave up their hands again and again, and then they left the gate of the governor's yamen. Li Xiao turned around and looked at Chen Hongshou in the cage, as if he was looking at a piece of poop.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses! This is an ancient adage that is quite true.

Facts have proved that the officials on the ground in Shandong are all good men. As Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi left the governor's yamen, all the petty officials of the fifth or sixth grade came to visit, and swore in front of Sun Chengzong that they would do their jobs well in the future, and they would never embarrass the leaders. The degree of his groveling shocked Sun Chengzong, who had been in the officialdom for a long time.

The educational significance of the public trial conference is enormous, and its role is obvious. If you want to continue to be an official, it is naturally a greeting for good wine and good food. If you want to learn from Chen Hongshou and be locked in a cage like a dog, Li Xiao will definitely not stop you. It's just that three days have passed, and none of the officials want to be with Chen Hongshou.

Cao Wang took a cup of tea and put it in Tokugawa Chihime's hand, and then Tokugawa Chihime put it on the table. She looked nervous, her left hand clutching the fingers of her right hand and refusing to let go. If she let go, she really didn't know where to put her hand.

"Are you used to living in the house?" Li Xiao asked Cao Wang while reading the book.

"The lawsuit has confiscated all the family property, and the prison has broken my body, and my mother-in-law doesn't want me. If there are no adults to take them in, the slave and maid can only jump into the river and walk. When Cao Wang's family went home, he was kicked out by his in-laws.

Any woman who says she was raped in front of tens of thousands of people will end up like this. For the sake of their own face, the in-laws will not let the Cao Wang family enter the door if they are killed.

Since Zhu Xi led Confucianism to the road of preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires, women's chastity will be particularly valued. Even if Li Xiao was the governor of a province, it was impossible for him to use a strong order to make the Cao family accept the Cao Wang clan.

Even if Li Xiao came hard, Cao Wang's life in the Cao family would not be easy.

Li Xiao can only take the Cao Wang family, who is looking for death, to his home and see what he can do! Cao Wang's woman is very good at getting into trouble, and she used to be a housekeeper's wife. Only two days after arriving at the governor's yamen, he became an important minion of Tokugawa Chihime. Following Tokugawa Chihime all day long, the fox and the tiger are in charge of the back house of the governor's yamen.

Not to mention, in the end, she is the head of a big family. In just a few days, many drawbacks of the back house have been straightened out. Not only is the expenditure much less, but the food grade has also been improved, which has been well received by the top and bottom.

"If you want to, stay at home, our family doesn't want to sell yourself into slavery. Do a good job, if you want to get married in the future, just say it, no shame! "Such a woman will basically not be married home by a man in a serious way. Li Xiao's words are a kind of comfort.

"No! Slaves and maids do everything according to the commands of the adults. Cao Wang's family also knew what Li Xiao meant, and he didn't say anything after giving a salute.

Now that Shandong officials are fully cooperative, Li Xiao will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. The potatoes and corn from Yizhou were pulled to Jinan by carts. Li Xiao ordered the officials of Jinan Prefecture to plant these two crops in Jinan's official fields this year.

If in the past, this kind of grain that had never been seen before would have to be planted in the field on a large scale. Killing the officials will not do it, although this will not reduce their profits, but if there is a civil uprising, they still can't eat and walk around.

Despite the preferential policy of halving the tenant rent, the peasants are still full of fear of these two new gadgets. If nothing grows in the field, the whole family will starve to death. But now the officials of Jinan Prefecture, who have a puddle of in their crotch, ignore the wailing of the peasants and force them to plant corn and potatoes with whips.

At this time, the landlords in the private fields had happy faces. The official fields are no longer growing grain, and the autumn grain will definitely be sold at a high price. Maybe in the fall, there will be one or two more tenants in the house. I have already made up my mind, and I don't want anyone who is not in good health. If you are as strong as a calf, you can come to the house to eat. There are flowers in their hearts, and they are already secretly touching whose girls are smart, and they can start as soon as they come to autumn.

The tenants who worked in the landlord's house also looked at these peasant brothers with pity. Grain is the life of a peasant, and whether he can survive depends on the grain that is dug out of the land. The official family is going to cut off people's lives! Many tenants are very glad that they sold themselves to the landlord's family in the first place, and the second son of the family has long been optimistic about the girl in the front village, and in the autumn, he tightens his trouser belt, can he marry his daughter-in-law back?

Each has its own calculations, and the landlords are singing praises to Li Xiao. For a while, there was no bad word for the governor in Manjinan. In the eyes of the landlords, the officials who can make their own families rich by the price of grain are good officials. It is necessary to sing the praises of merit, and greatly sing the praises of virtue.

Amid the praise of the officials, the landlords, and the wails of the peasants, potatoes and corn were planted in the fields. As for whether there will be a harvest or not, no one is hopeful. In the entire territory of Jinan Prefecture, all the farmers who cultivated the official fields were all sad. If you are more savvy, plant some wheat or rice in front of and behind the house. Although the land is not very big, it is not much. But after all, it is a mouthful of food, and maybe with this mouthful of food, the whole family will not starve to death.

Wearing a felt hat often worn by peasants and a gown often worn by merchants, Li Xiao strolled along the country road. There is no way, the hair is too short and very noticeable, so I can only wear a hat to cover it. In addition to monks, there are also people who are born without long hair, and they are not bald at all. Even ordinary farmers don't shave their heads at will. All of them have long hair, and there are many people in the fields who can't tell the difference between men and women.

It had just rained, and the spring rain was fine. There is a hint of sweetness in the humid air, and you can take a sip directly into your lungs, not to mention how comfortable it is.

"Uncle! Begging for a drink. "There was a farmer at the head of the field, who had just finished planting a row of land and was resting on the field. Li Xiao walked to the old man's side and begged for saliva to drink.

"Drink! Listen to the accent is Liaodong? The old man was very kind, and pointed to the clay pot and the large porcelain bowl on the ground and motioned for Li Xiao to do it himself.

"Hmmm! Liaodong fled over, and took advantage of Kaichun'er to take the two brothers to sell some goods. Li Xiao motioned to roast chicken and Shunzi to put down their burdens, sat down next to the old man, picked up a coarse porcelain bowl, poured a bowl of water, and drank it.

"Hey......! It's not easy to live in the countryside, and a two-hundred-and-five-year-old governor has come. I was forced to plant potatoes and corn, and I managed the land all my life. I've heard of these two things, hey......! If we really can't grow anything in autumn, I'm afraid our family will have to drink the northwest wind. The old man looked at the yellow land, and his face did not have the anticipation of the spring sowing in previous years.

"Old man, are you talking about corn and potatoes?" Li Xiao pulled the bowl onto the jar and asked with a little surprise.

"What! Have you seen it, could it be that you have it in Liaodong? The old man looked at Li Xiao a little strangely.

"Uncle! This corn and potatoes are good things, potatoes are in our Liaodong, and the production capacity per mu has reached 1,000 catties. Although corn is not as powerful as potatoes, it is not a problem to beat four or five hundred catties per acre. Do you know why Liaodong is so cold, and life is not bad, it is because of these two things. ”

"You young man is nonsense, I have been planting land all my life, and I have never heard that a thousand catties of things can grow in an acre of land."

"Don't you believe it? I'll make a bet with you, my name is Shunzi, and I live in Lixia Xiejie in Jinan Mansion. If we don't gamble too much, we will bet on a hundred catties of potatoes. If I lose, I'll give you a tael of silver, and if you lose to me, I'll give a hundred pounds of potatoes. Li Xiao seemed to have been greatly insulted, and immediately made a bet with the old man.

"I'm not scared of Zhang Erniu, but how do I know if you reported a fake address?"

"Well, this two-foot flower cloth is used as collateral." Li Xiao took out two feet of flower cloth from the burden and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

"Okay, then I'm ......! I'm ......! The old man touched left and right, but there was nothing on him except a hoe. I really had no choice but to push the jar of water and the large porcelain bowl over.

"Done! Roast chicken, you've got it. In the first autumn, I exchanged this thing for a hundred catties of potatoes with the old man. We have chewy grain in winter! Li Xiao looked very happy, stood up and left with the jar.

"I don't know whose descendants are, stupid. Could it be that this potato can really beat a thousand catties per acre? Not to mention beating a thousand catties, even if it is a fight of five hundred catties, the old man will lose to you. Looking at Li Xiao's back, Zhang Laohan muttered to himself, as if he had a little confidence in the potatoes and corn in the field.
