On the side, all the gentry and villagers were also relieved.

Good things are grinding.

His Royal Highness King Yan finally agreed to build a social school for them.

When they returned, they would be able to hold their heads up and speak much harder in front of their neighbors.

As for exploiting and oppressing the people in the countryside?

Not at all now, only a bad gentleman would do that!

In the future, the children of their family will all go to Yanwangfu on errands, go to Goryeo and Wa to be officials, and even go to trade with the Yanwangfu caravans.

Only when the neighbors get together, after going out, can they not be bullied, can they be safer, and can they earn more money.

The general direction of social studies has been set.

The rest of the matter is to go to the various prefectures and counties, as well as those gentry and village elders, to combine, and then select the location of social science and count the number.

In less than a month, it was reported to the Yanwang Mansion.

For the situation in Beiping Mansion and various states and counties, the scribes of Yanwangfu are also very familiar.

After checking that everything was correct, the money began to be allocated and the construction of the social school began.

However, this time the money can only be allocated.

Because, the courtiers in the court, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang, because the people are heavy on money and light on money, have made many concessions, especially the merchants and ordinary people in Zhejiang and Fujian, and they can directly use 160 copper coins to exchange for the usual treasure money.

Let the prices of goods such as grain and cloth begin to rise directly.

After talking about it for more than half a year, I finally thought of a way to ban copper coins!

Originally, the imperial court made money, so that the treasure money and copper money were used at the same time, for the convenience of the people. However, the people's hearts are deceitful, and money is arbitrarily exercised at a loss, so that the banknote law does not work, and it cannot be convenient for the people.

In this way, the exercise of copper coins is prohibited, and all the copper coins of military and civilian merchants must be handed over to the government.

As soon as the edict of banning copper coins came out, it temporarily curbed the rapid depreciation of treasure money.

……

As the weather began to get hotter, Beiping City gradually became like a steamer, and Guo An nested at home, not wanting to go out for a single step.

It's just that Guo An doesn't go out, but there are still people who will take the initiative to come to him.

On this day, Guo An was napping in the palace of King Yan and the public house of the Changshi Division, when a scribe walked in.

"Guo Changshi, a group of gentry and villagers in Wanping County and Daxing County ask to see you!"

"Looking for me?"

Guo An raised his head in a daze.

He has been in trouble for a long time, and he hasn't had any dealings with the gentry and villagers in Wanping County and Daxing County!

"Exactly!"

The scribe said with a respectful face.

"So, then invite them all in and serve some iced tea."

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Soon, a group of gentry and village elders poured into Guo An's public house.

Fortunately, Guo An, as a long history, is still in a relatively large public house, which is completely enough to let go of these people.

"The villain has seen Guo Changshi!"

"I've seen Guo Changshi......"

Even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, these gentry and village elders are still full of excitement and sincerity when they see Guo An again.

And Guo An is also an extremely easy person to be infected, and he is also very enthusiastic.

After a salute, Guo An couldn't help but ask.

"The weather is so hot, why do you come to the palace so hard to find us?"

"Guo Changshi, villains and others are suffering!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi, the villain and others are not convinced......"

Guo An's words instantly seemed to ignite an explosion furnace, and the gentry and village elders suddenly stared at each other and cried.

"Guo Changshi, the people under the rule of Wanping County are thousands more than the people of Shunyi County, Miyun County, and Jizhou!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi, our Daxing County is also thousands more than the population of those states and counties, why can they build a social school, or there is a social school for fifty households, and our Daxing County actually has only five Mongolian schools!"

"Guo Changshi, many children of the people in Wanping County need to walk more than 20 miles every day to go to Mengxue!"

"Guo Changshi, many people in our Daxing County also need to walk thirty miles to go to Mengxue!"

"Guo Changshi, there are children of the common people on the villain's side, and they need to walk fifty miles every day to go to school......"

"Guo Changshi ......"

"Alright, alright!"

Guo An was dizzy when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted to stop.

"Don't you just want to come to Yanwang Mansion and build some more social studies for Wanping County and Daxing County?"

"Guo Changshi Mingjian, our Wanping County and Daxing County need social studies even more!"

"Guo Changshi ......"

"Stop!"

Guo An shouted to stop again, and then hurriedly instructed a scribe on the side.

"Go and invite Zhu Changshi!"

"Yes!"

The scribe hurried out.

After a while, Zhu Fu walked in slowly.

"The villain has seen Zhu Changshi!"

"I've seen Zhu Changshi!"

"This official has seen all the squires and elders!"

It was a very polite salute, and then he sat down slowly.

However, this time, the public housing was much quieter.

Several scribes on the side were full of astonishment.

They can see the difference, and the rumors are true, these gentry and village elders of Wanping County and Daxing County are very close to Guo Changshi and Guo An.

Guo An opened his mouth and said: "Zhu Changshi, Wanping County and Daxing County have a large population, and there are many children who are willing to go to school.

All the gentry and villagers also want to ask my Yanwang Mansion to build some social studies for them in Wanping County and Daxing County, I don't know if Zhu Changshi thinks it's okay? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Fu was stunned and hesitated, "Guo Changshi, I don't know about this matter, can I ask His Highness?" ”

Before Guo An could speak, a voice came from outside the door.

"We agree!"

"Your Highness?"

Guo An, Zhu Fu and the others looked out of the door, their faces were shocked, and they hurriedly got up to salute.

"See Your Highness!"

"The villain sees His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Rise up, everybody!"

For the elders of these gentry townships in Wanping County and Daxing County, Zhu Di is also much closer to those gentry and township elders in other states and counties in Beiping Prefecture.

After sitting down, Zhu Di said gently: "For the sake of social studies, you rushed to our palace regardless of the heat, and we agreed." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

"Your Highness has mercy!"

A group of gentry and village elders were suddenly full of joy.

In fact, many of the gentry can now pay for the construction of social studies.

However, the master of sociology is hard to find!

With Zhu Di's consent, everything is fine.

And it just so happens that for those masters of social studies, they are also the reserve officials that Zhu Di needs.

A win-win for both parties.

Zhu Di, Guo An and others have not talked to these gentry and township elders in Wanping County and Daxing County for a long time.

It just so happened that it was rare to gather such gentry and village elders this time, and there was nothing important for them to deal with in the Yanwang Mansion.

Therefore, Zhu Di and Guo An chatted with these gentry and villagers.

"Elder Wang, this year, all of you have planted the good rice developed by our Yan Wangfu Farm!"

Wang Shilai replied with a happy face: "Hahaha, Guo Changshi rest assured, there are more than 100 households in us, and every acre of land has been planted with good rice.

The stems of these rice are thicker than those of the previous paddies, and at first glance they look like good rice that can grow large ears! ”

Wang Shoushi on the side couldn't help but glared at Wang Shilai, Guo Changshi was obviously asking him, this shameless Wang Shilai was so treacherous, and he was the first to reply.

However, Wang Shoushi is not a person who easily admits defeat.

"Guo Changshi, the peppers in our house are also growing well, the big guys have planted peppers, and each family is four acres.

This year, the people in our group can make more money with chili peppers again! ”

"That's good!"

Guo An smiled very satisfied, and continued: "However, you must also be mentally prepared, chili peppers are just a rare item, not a long-term solution.

After this year, the peppers will be planted throughout Daming, and the profits will slowly decrease! ”

A lieutenant's eyes glared directly, "Guo Changshi, rest assured, the people of Daxing County, Wanping County, are all bright in their hearts, chili peppers are our cash cows, and no one will dare to pass on chili seeds!" ”

"Exactly, chili peppers are the lifeblood of our wait, and absolutely no one will pass on chili seeds!"

A group of gentry and village elders said again.

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and didn't want to say more.

The pepper seeds were all from other people's hands, how could they be kept?

Moreover, it is a miracle that so many people in Daxing County, Wanping County, can keep it for so many years.

"This year, the weather has been hot, and there are some abnormalities, so you should pay attention to it and save more food at home.

In the rice field, it is also necessary to water it in time! ”

"Thank you Guo Changshi for your concern, thanks to His Royal Highness King Yan in the past few years, all the fields in our township, which are close to the river, have already attracted ditches, and I will go to water some water on weekdays.

It's just that this year's river has a lot less water than usual! ”

Speaking of this, the elders of the township, while being grateful, suddenly had a worried look on their faces.

Ning Daguang trembled and arched his hand towards Zhu Di and Guo An: "His Royal Highness King Yan, Guo Changshi, the old man has calculated, it has not rained a drop of rain for a month.

If it doesn't rain again, it's going to be a big drought! ”

"Great drought?"

As soon as these words came out, Guo An and Zhu Di couldn't help but be surprised.

As for the rest of the gentry and village elders, their faces were even more miserable, and there was a deep sense of helplessness, and they were already aware of this situation.

"Your Royal Highness, Guo Changshi, in the past few decades, the disasters in our Beiping Mansion have not been interrupted, floods, droughts, hailstorms, wind disasters, earthquakes, locust plagues, and plagues have made the people of our Beiping Mansion miserable."

"Since His Royal Highness and Guo Changshi came to Beiping, the disasters in our Beiping Mansion have been slightly less.

According to the time, it is time for our Beiping Mansion to come to disaster! ”

"You old thing, don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi are both the lucky stars of our Beiping Mansion, they have been doing well for so many years, why will there be a disaster this year?"

"The year before last, wasn't there a flood?"

“……”

The gentry and village elders couldn't help but fall silent.

Guo An smiled slightly and said loudly: "Don't worry, the grain in my Beiping Mansion has been bumper for three or four years, and the grain in Beiping Mansion is sufficient, even if there is a big drought, it will not harm the lives of the people."

As long as the people of Beiping Mansion are still alive, they will not be afraid of any disaster. ”

"What Guo Qing said is extremely true!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly and said: "In the damn drought, the people of our Beiping Mansion have food in their homes, and they are afraid that he will be a bird."

Moreover, if all the ditches are built next to the fields, can all the rice be killed by drought?

Maybe in a few days, it will rain heavily! ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!"

"Your Highness's auspicious words ......"

All the gentry and villagers cheered up again, but their eyes were still full of worry!

……

Happy holidays, single friends!

If there is no object, you must not make up for the monthly pass!
