Master Zhao came out of the restaurant and hurriedly waved his hand to send everyone away, "Go, go, my lord is busy, if you are really idle, it is serious to connect the road and canal near your home." ”

Han Mu saw Master Zeng and the others who came out behind him, and turned around to help Gu Junruo out of the car.

"Lord County Order, Madam," Master Zeng and the others saluted Han Mu and Gu Junruo, and invited them in with a smile.

Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Yue led several ladies to stand behind them, as soon as Gu Junruo came in, they immediately stepped forward with a smile and cordially pulled Gu Junruo upstairs: "Madame, please go upstairs, they will drink their wine, and we will play with ours." ”

Upstairs was rearranged, this restaurant belongs to the Yao family, which shows the importance that the Yao family attaches to this banquet this time.

Master Yao also came, and at this time, he could no longer see the arrogance he had faced Han Mu before, and he also smiled kindly, as if the person who hated Han Mu a month ago was not him.

Yao Boqing and Yao Jibai both followed behind him.

The fight a month ago let the Yao family know that there are some people they can't afford to provoke, they want to borrow strength, Han Mu can also do it, and they can borrow more power than them.

Those who know the times are Junjie, Yao Boqing is a businessman, and he is more able to bend and stretch, and Master Yao also knows the times when he knows that his arms can't twist his thighs, and he also knows the times and submits.

Han Mu couldn't talk about being happy, but he wouldn't embarrass him.

At the banquet, Master Zeng mentioned the tax exemption on behalf of everyone, and he did not lower his voice, but raised his voice slightly, just so that Gu Junruo, who was on the other side, could also hear it.

After watching it in the past two months, they can understand that Han Mu said that it was the county order, but in fact, the county government was the decision of the couple and their husbands.

Even Gu Junruo's role is no less than that of Han Mu, and many things are her ideas.

Before coming, Han Mu and Gu Junruo already had an idea, and he readily agreed to everyone: "I inquired, the official document of the imperial court has been sent, and it will arrive at the county government office in a few days, and then we will know how to reduce and reduce taxes this year." ”

He smiled and said: "As soon as the official document arrives, I will inform you, you can rest assured, the county said that there is a reduction, then there will be a reduction." ”

They know that there is a reduction, but how can it be reduced, how can it be exempted?

Everyone quietly looked at Master Zeng.

Master Zeng just learned from Master Zhao last night that the official document exempting from taxation had been detained in Jiangling Mansion, and Han Mu was as tough as ever, so he actually wrote a letter to the capital and directly asked the imperial court to send another one.

His father-in-law is the left servant of the household department, and it is just a matter of one sentence to ask the household department to send another document, but the old man Zeng still can't help but test a sentence, "My lord, this is the autumn harvest, and the end of the autumn harvest is the time to pay taxes, and then if Chuzhou and Jiangling Mansion want to pay taxes this year......

Han Mu's eyes widened and said, "The disaster in Yixian County is so serious, they still want us to pay taxes?" I'm looking for them for money and food for disaster relief. ”

He waved his hand and said: "Even if you pay a certain amount of taxes, it is also to the finance of Yi County, how can you hand it over again?" ”

He said: "You can wait with peace of mind, when the official document arrives, I will see how the imperial court will reduce it, and then the county will make the decision to subtract some for you." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they immediately raised their glasses and said, "My lord's heart, I will give you a cup of honor." ”

Han Mu raised his glass and touched them, drank them all, and said, "This county knows that you have been seriously affected this time, and your life is also difficult, after all, you have to support so many people." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, thinking that Han Mu still understood them.

Adults are still very reasonable, how can the Zeng family and the Yao family be as arrogant and domineering as they say?

He has compassion for the poor and loves them, and they are his people.

Some squires do not live in the county seat, their family is in the countryside, although they have come to see Han Mu twice, they don't know him very well, and they basically know him through the Zeng family.

After all, the Zeng family has always been the leader of Yi County.

But at this moment, they felt that the Zeng family's understanding of the new county order was too biased, and although the county order was gentle to Master Zeng, it was not very close.

It was like talking happily with Master Yue on the side.

By the way, I heard that Master Yue has a very good relationship with the new county order, and the new county order was in a difficult situation when he first came to Yi County, and it was the Yue family who borrowed money and grain to the new county order to tide over the difficulties.

The thought flashed, and when everyone looked at Master Yue again, they were two points more enthusiastic.

Han Mu's gaze swept over, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he was more harmonious with Master Yue, and even crossed Master Zeng to talk to Yue Jinghe.

Master Zeng had a faint smile on his face, and glanced at Zeng Hexuan, who was indifferent, and he said to Han Mu: "Lord Han, I don't know when the county school will reopen, next year will be a big year, and I don't know how many students in Yixian County can participate?" ”

Han Mu blinked, and reacted in hindsight, yes, he is a county order, the county order assessment, in addition to population growth and taxes, there is also a job related to political performance - education!

It is difficult to see the results of the education of the common people, so the assessment standard given by the state government and the Ministry of Officials is that there are a few people who can pass the county examination, the government examination, the autumn examination, and the spring examination;

And how many children, talents, juren and jinshi are in the name of the county, the higher the talent, the greater the political achievements.

In some places where talent is scarce, if one or two jinshi are produced in a certain year, it will be the merit of serving as a county commander, and there will be a county order that will be promoted and leave.

Unfortunately, Yixian is a place where talent is scarce;

Unfortunately, Gangneung is a place where talent gathers.

A small county that lacks talent in a state capital with a large number of talents and outstanding culture, one can imagine how difficult it is for him to make meritorious contributions through this.

Not to mention political achievements, it would be good to be able to guarantee the bottom in this regard.

The flood directly flooded the county school, and even the teachings were once sick and dying, not to mention the students, and there are only a few who are still alive in Yixian County.

Han Mu's gaze fell on Zeng Hexuan.

Seeing this, Master Zeng smiled slightly, and Han Mu's gaze slowly moved to Yue Jinghe.

Gu Junruo, who had already moved to the other side and was looking down from downstairs at the performance of the servants below, looked up, Han Mu also turned his head to look at her, and the two looked at each other from a distance.

Han Mu suddenly got the strength, and said to Master Zeng: "I will announce and persuade the students who escaped to return to their hometowns to study, next year's big exam, we are not without people in Yixian County, aren't Zeng Gongzi and Yue Gongzi the two best candidates?" ”

Han Mu looked at the two of them: "The two of them once participated in the Spring Festival in the same year, it can be seen that their knowledge is not bad, it is better to wait for the students to come back, and the two of them will teach the students from Luo, if they are lucky enough to get one or two people to pass the examination, they can also participate in the Spring Festival together in the coming year." ”

Master Zeng directly refused for Zeng Hexuan, "The county order is very loving, I shouldn't have resigned, but my son is not in good health, and I'm just afraid of ......"

"Yes," Zeng Hexuan suddenly opened his mouth before Master Zeng finished speaking, looked at Han Mu and nodded, "I am willing to go to the county school to help." ”

Master Zeng's face suddenly became gloomy, and Master Yue, who was originally indifferent, suddenly said: "The adults are very loving, and the children are also willing to do their best." ”

Yue Jinghe was not very happy and said, "I'm not in good health. ”

Master Yue glared at him and said, "If it's not good, take some tonics, I see that you have been doing well recently, so it's decided." ”
