177. It's not easy to be an official

Although Xu Guangjun is young, his experience is not comparable to ordinary people, and his decision is not to be said.

"You three, take ten fast horses, and hurry back to the capital quickly, I don't care what you do, anyway, how fast and as fast as you want. Remember, you can't tell the county lord anything when you go back, go to the eldest prince, you can find the lord if you can't do it, no one else can say a word, just tell him the things as they are, and wait for him to arrange other things, understand no! ”

The three of them nodded in agreement, repeated it in its entirety, and then went to prepare.

Xu Guangjun returned to the room, thought about it for a long time, took out a pen and wrote a few letters, and then came out to find one of them, gave him the letter, and asked him to go to the capital, and the letter must be handed over to him, otherwise it will be destroyed directly.

Xu Guangjun scolded fiercely, he has always bullied others, and there are really people who dare to bully him!

The next day, Xu Guangjun helped Yuan Rui to the courtyard like no one else, and while basking in the sun, he showed Yuan Rui some of the materials he had transported from the capital this time, potatoes and peppers were the two most numerous, which were also mentioned in Yuan Rui's letter.

Yuan Rui asked people to directly call Hu Xiancheng, Liu Zhushu and Fang Rong to come over, during this time, Yuan Rui was sick, and most of the official affairs in the county were done by Fang Rong and Hu Xiancheng, don't look at him, he has never been an official, but he is much stronger than Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui told the three of them what these two things were, and then introduced the basic planting methods and growth time to the two, and asked them to quickly find a few places around the county to plant them, which is the foundation in the future!

Yuan Rui knows that most of Tanzhou and Guizhou in the future are the main producing areas of potatoes and peppers, and Tanzhou and Guizhou are also one of the most spicy places in the Central Plains, which can be said to have reached a very terrifying height!

He hopes that from now on, the crops produced in these barren lands will ensure that the people of this place will have no food and clothing.

When they heard that the lump in front of them could reach a yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu, the three of them all showed suspicious looks.

"You guys looked like this, the saint also had it at that time, don't think about it, do it!" Xu Guangjun said on the side.

Now the three of them were even more surprised, the Holy Lord also knew about these farming things, who is this person, it's not nonsense!

"This is the elder brother of my wife, the second son of the Xu family, these are all brought by him, thank you, thank him!"

"No, don't listen to his nonsense, these crops are all made by your county lord, I'm just running errands!"

"Childe, can you leave me a little, I'll take it back to Yuezhou directly, it's better to plant some over there."

Fang Rong suddenly remembered that if it was planted in a plain area like Yuezhou, it would not be much better than the mountain Miao people here.

"Yes, yes, there are also on the ship, leave some for you, and transport it directly to Yuezhou!"

"In that case, Childe, I'll go back to Yuezhou first, and just bring these things back."

Hu Xiancheng and the chief bookkeeper don't have any other ideas, and now they help Yuan Rui do things well, and there may be a way out in the future, otherwise this official won't have to do it at some point.

In the next few days, Xu Guangjun didn't mention going back at all, he accompanied Yuan Rui to bask in the sun every day, and told Yuan Rui some interesting things in the capital, he made up his mind, Yuan Rui didn't fully recover, and he didn't go back, otherwise he wouldn't have the face to see his sister!

"Do you know, Zhang Shi's kid also got married, just last month, he married your cousin, Hu Hongyu, or that kid is blessed, if it weren't for Hu Hongyu's little problem, how could it be his turn!"

"Yes, I haven't heard of it, I've seen Hongyu a few times, it looks good, I haven't heard of any illness or anything like that, she seems to be a little younger than me and the county lord, older than Zhang Shi!"

"Yes, Hu Hongyu is two years older than Zhang Shi, and it just so happens that kid is immature, and it is indeed appropriate to find a mature daughter-in-law to take care of it. Whether there is a disease or not, I just heard that sometimes I can't breathe. ”

"Oh, that's okay," Yuan Rui suddenly understood, it was probably bronchitis, and it would be good to get some throat treatment.

When you go back to the capital by yourself, you can find some home remedies, even if it is your own congratulatory gift.

"Aren't you also wishful, listening to the county lord, you are optimistic about the future, and the Jiang family has agreed!"

"Hehe, let's talk about it first, I'm married, you must come back, anyway, it's okay if you don't care about the affairs of the county!"

"You dare to say that, there are many things in a county, hundreds of thousands of people, if you don't do it, there will be big things, besides, if I want to go, I can go, then I have to agree to it in the court!"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, it's definitely no problem to find your father, just find something!"

Yuan Rui smiled and didn't speak, this second child is indeed second, he has never been in officialdom, where do you know that there are so many rules.

Xu Guangjun is full of confidence, for him, no rules are rules, for this Duke of Wei, as long as he wants to do something, there is nothing that cannot be done, and now the old man values the county lord more than his son.

If you want to say that Hu Xiancheng and Liu are the main books, after decades of officialdom, they are indeed not built, and they are indeed good at handling these people's livelihood and government affairs.

Potatoes and peppers are both very easy to grow and live crops, easy to plant, not delicate, only more than ten days, many fields around the county, the garden is full of seedlings.

According to the guidance of some farmers who came with the boat, the extra pepper seedlings were transplanted directly, and there was no waste at all.

So Yuan Rui handed Xu Guangjun the most difficult thing, when these peppers grow, Xu Guangjun has to find someone to collect them, it is unrealistic to expect the people of Tanzhou to digest so many peppers by themselves, they don't even know how to eat them!

But Yuan Rui knows that no matter what chili sauce, chili powder, pickled chili pepper or stir-fry is a good thing.

It's still the same, his purpose is not to make money, he hopes that Xu Guangjun can use the goods transportation channel in his hand in just a few years to spread the condiment of chili pepper to every place in Daxia, for him, this is the best thing.

But he didn't expect it, his idea was right, but he ignored one point, the current Great Xia has not yet completely become a complete and powerful country, and the foreign feudal lords are still staring at Great Xia, once the Hu people get the chili pepper, it will be troublesome!

Seeing that it was May, Yuan Rui looked at Xu Guangjun very strangely, isn't this guy ready to go back!

seems to see Yuan Rui's thoughts, Xu Guangjun is not hypocritical, and directly tells him that he will not go back until at least the end of next month, and now he has to make the preliminary preparations here, and the people in the capital are about to arrive.

Xu Guangjun's idea has actually been told to Yuan Rui, now the battle between Han and Miao has stopped temporarily, I heard that it was an order from King Miao, and the Hengzhou Mansion has also made concessions, and the grain transferred from the treasury has been distributed to the Miao people, which can be regarded as solving their difficulties.

Xu Guangjun was more interested in the fur and tea of the Miao people, and he originally wanted to set up a big point here in Qiyang to buy Miao people's things, whether the Miao people wanted money or food, it was no problem.

But after listening to his thoughts, Yuan Rui had a different thinking, this is a good way, you can set up an intermediary agency modeled after later generations, and be responsible for transferring in the middle, so that there will be no direct conflict between the two sides of Han and Miao.

Yuan Rui has no right to make such an arrangement, but there is one in the court, and this is not how the Maritime Trade Division came.

He had already formed his ideas into official documents and delivered them to the capital, Tanzhou, and Hengzhou mansions respectively.

His idea was to set up a Han and Miao exchange directly in Qiyang, and both Han and Miao people could sell that thing, whether it was grain, tea, fur, herbs or any handicrafts, as long as someone wanted something.

The exchange will directly set a price for the relevant thing, and the seller can choose to take the silver, or he can choose to take other products of the same value.

Of course, in order to prevent someone from raising prices in the middle or deliberately suppressing the value of goods, the relevant items are directly priced in the early stage, and a clear level is also listed.

For example, the Miao people's items are first judged by the Miao people as a standard for grade classification, and it is good to compare them according to this standard when purchasing, and the Han people treat them accordingly.

In addition, in order to maintain the income of the people, the exchange is managed by the government, and only a small amount of taxes are charged to the seller, and the price does not increase significantly on the premise of maintaining the goods from shrinking, so as to ensure the income of the seller.

......

There are many such clauses, most of which were drafted by Xu Guangjun, a business elite, and Yuan Rui only made a little addition on the side.

But in the end, even Xu Guangjun admired Yuan Rui's good idea, and the biggest benefit of this exchange is to bury the intermediary of the Yaxing people in the grave of history.

Before waiting for the news of coming to the capital, the county yali received an official letter from Hengzhou Mansion and invited Yuan Rui to Hengzhou to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival Xiangshui Dragon Boat Festival.

This is a conference, not only the surrounding prefectures and counties will participate, but even Tanzhou will send officials to participate, which can be said to be the largest event in Tanzhou in a year.

Yuan Rui has returned to his original state during this time, and on the surface, there is almost no difference.

But he himself knows that the difference is obvious, first of all, the cardiopulmonary function, sometimes it takes a little effort, the heart beats faster, and a little out of breath.

But on this occasion, as the honor of a county, I can't help but go, but fortunately, I don't need to do anything, stay on the sidelines and watch the excitement.

This time he went to Hengzhou, Xu Guangjun was also relieved, Xu Bing, Xu Yong, and Xu Meng in the capital had quietly arrived.

These three people Xu Guangjun knew that they were three tigers, and they followed Wei Guogong from the battlefield to kill and kill, whether it was a head-on enemy or a single private fight, there were almost no weaknesses.

Now that these three people are here, it directly makes Qi Feng a lot easier, during this time, most of Yuan Rui's guards are watched by Qi Feng, he goes to inspect and deal with official business during the day, and secretly comes to the county government at night to help Ah Niu guard, which is very hard.

Qi Feng still had a little intention of tempting the three of them at first, but as soon as he got started, Qi Feng felt the pressure, these three people were not those who played tricks on the rivers and lakes at all, and the shot was fatal, and there was no politeness at all.

In the face of this kind of people, Qi Feng knew that either he would kill them quickly, or he would flee far away, or he would fight for his life, and few would be able to stop them.
