Although he didn't try as hard as Jiang Zhixian, he also made a lot of noodles and earned a lot of silver in the past two months.

The prefect said and asked his subordinates to bring the account book.

One county has one account book, and the first thing to look at is the account book of Peishui County.

The cultivated land area of Peishui County is about the same as that of Pingcheng, but because the prefect missed the season of planting sweet potatoes late this year, and the farmers planted other grains, the number of acres of sweet potatoes planted in Peishui County is far less than that of Pingcheng, with a total of only 150,000 mu.

This year's rain is insufficient, the yield of sweet potatoes has been reduced, and the yield per mu is only more than 1,200 catties.

According to the calculation of 1,200 catties, the sweet potatoes produced in 150,000 acres of fields are less than 20,000 catties.

These sweet potatoes are made into starch and turned into vermicelli, which is about 30 million catties.

But that's just an ideal number.

There is a lot of wear and tear in the actual operation process.

For example, some people make starch with impurities out of luck, which wastes some starch.

Moreover, in addition to the loss, the speed of making vermicelli in these three counties is also relatively slow.

Not every county has the ability to coordinate the overall situation like Jiang Zhi County, although Jiang Zhi County unreservedly imparts experience, these three counties still have many problems in the actual operation process.

The management is chaotic, the supervision is not strict, the products are unqualified, and the speed is slow...... Anyway, there is no problem on the side of Pingcheng, and these three counties have encountered it.

Fortunately, the magistrates of these three counties have a correct attitude and correct their mistakes in time, so the noodle business in these three counties is slowly on the right track.

Now in two months, Peishui County has sold a total of 9 million catties of vermicelli.

A pound of vermicelli buckwheat can get more than a penny, and according to a penny, the nine million catties of vermicelli buckwheat can get a total of 9,000 taels of silver.

After calculating Peishui's account, the Ming Zhifu calculated the accounts of the other two counties, the level of these two counties is about the same as Peishui County, one made 10 million catties of vermicelli, and the other made 8.5 million catties of vermicelli, which is 10,000 taels of silver and 8,500 taels of silver respectively.

Together, these three counties can get a total of 27,500 taels of silver.

As for Yongxing County.

When it came to Yongxing County, the governor first sighed.

That's a long story.

The reason why he built a sweet potato workshop in the entire Hexi Mansion was to save political achievements, because after receiving a notice from Jiangzhi County, knowing that Sun Zhixian was dragging him back, he was furious and took people to kill Yongxing County.

After arriving in Yongxing County, he first reprimanded Sun Zhixian, and then forced Sun Zhixian to rectify according to Pingcheng's experience.

This rectification process has added countless anger to him.

During Sun Zhixian's tenure in Yongxing County, he has always been passable, he believes in not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, so he does not engage in bullying men and women, fish and flesh people, he handed over a lot of things to his subordinates to do, he drank wine by himself, tasted food with beautiful concubines, and lived a beautiful life.

He also handed over the matter of the sweet potato workshop to his subordinates, and he didn't care about it himself.

Without him, the county governor, the gang of people in Yongxing County were bold enough to make a mess of the workshop and starch.

After knowing the current situation at that time, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he immediately arrested the group of people in charge of the sweet potato workshop.

He interrogated one by one, and this interrogation really interrogated something:

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant of Yongxing County, the two actually sold the vermicelli recipe.

And not just once, they sold the recipe to several merchants.

It's really a dare to sell, a dare to buy.

These merchants were far away from Hexi Province, and they thought that when they transported the noodles back to their hometown, they would sell the noodles they bought together with the ones they had made, and they should be able to earn a lot of money in this way.

This can make the prefect half angry.

But it was useless to be angry, the problem had to be solved, and two of the merchants had already left after the goods, and he sent people to chase them while detaining the remaining merchants.

He also put the county magistrate and the county lieutenant of Yongxing County in prison, and he led people to take over Yongxing County in an all-round way.

As for Sun Zhixian, this is the official of the seventh grade, and Sun Zhixian did not violate the law, but only disobeyed his orders, so he has no right to put Sun Zhixian in prison, he can only reprimand him fiercely, and then give Sun Zhixian a big failure in this year's official assessment.

Under his strong pressure, the sweet potato workshop in Yongxing County slowly got on the right track.

The two merchants who left with the noodles were walking slowly because they had too many noodles, and they were soon caught up by his people.

Therefore, the vermicelli recipe was kept for the time being.

Speaking of this, the Ming Zhifu coughed lightly and asked people to bring over all the silver tickets that Li Qiao deserved.

Previously, he let out a big word, saying that every catty of vermicelli produced in Hexi Mansion was made up of half of Li buckwheat.

He also assured Li Qiao that he would definitely keep the recipe for the noodles.

As a result, he underestimated Sun Zhixian's ability to poke holes, and also overestimated Sun Zhixian's sense of responsibility.

As a county parent official, he can't even care about this kind of thing, he really kneels.

Previously, he felt that Sun Zhixian was a good person, although he couldn't compare with Jiang Zhi County, but he didn't want to harm the people.

As a parent official, the emperor of the soil, can not be a common people, this is already a very good bottom line.

But this time, he realized that he was very wrong.

As a parent official, if you don't act, you are actually in Huohuo!

"Xiao Li, this time the official can't stand you, but fortunately, he chased Fang Zi back. The money that these merchants bought from their sons, and the fine they were given to them, shall be handed over to you, and the matter shall be revealed for the time being. ”

"Yongxing County only made one million catties of vermicelli, you deserve a thousand taels of silver. The merchants each paid between five thousand and ten thousand taels for a total of thirty-three thousand taels. The fine was tripled, and that was ninety-nine thousand taels. ”

"Add this together, and you deserve 133,000 taels of silver."

"Add to the 27,500 taels in the three counties of Peishui, and in the end you will get a total of 160,000 and 500 taels of silver."

"Your husband and wife count it, and it's a lot of money."

The prefect said and pointed to a few catchers who were carrying the money box, and asked Li Qiao and Tao Zhu to count the silver tickets.

Li Qiao: "......"

Boy.

It's such a twist and turn.

The last time Jiang Zhixian mentioned Yongxing County to him, he also had the worry that the recipe would be leaked, but the matter of vermicelli was out of his control for a long time, and it was useless for him to worry, so he put the matter behind him.

I didn't expect this recipe to really leak out.

Fortunately, the prefect was aware of everything and acted resolutely, and this recipe was saved.

"You don't have to count, students, trust you. You have worked hard this time, and the students are grateful and will always remember it. ”

not only kept Fangzi, but also brought back 130,000 taels of silver for him.

The prefect is worthy of being the prefect, and he has some ability.

When the governor heard Li Qiao's words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He is in order to save political achievements for himself, so he wants to make a sweet potato madness in the entire Hexi Mansion, if the recipe is leaked at this time, Li Qiao does not hate him now, so what about the future?

Li Qiao is definitely going to take off.

He didn't want to offend Li Qiao.

Alas, he made a big fool this time, and almost messed up the prosperity of Pingcheng that the saint had just praised, hoping that the saint and Li Qiao would remember his power to turn the tide, and forget that he miscalculated Sun Zhixian's carelessness.

Before this, he really didn't know that Sun Zhixian was so "indifferent to fame and fortune", and he didn't seize such a good opportunity to save political achievements.

It really killed him.

"Xiao Li, don't worry, those two who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall are already dead, and the official is making an example of the monkey, no one should dare to steal and sell the son. As for Sun Zhixian, he stabbed Lou Zi this time, and eighty percent of them were demoted. ”

"You do things, students are naturally at ease."

Li Qiao said sincerely.

"That's okay, your husband and wife will go and count the silver tickets first, and after counting, the official will test your knowledge to see if you have grown in the past six months."

Ming Zhifu said with a smile.

“…… Be. ”

Li Qiao should go down.

Then he and Tao Zhu went to the next room to count the silver tickets.

He didn't want to count, but he knew that the government had to let him count, and after returning home, Tao Zhu would definitely have to count it when he kept the account, so in order to reduce Tao Zhu's workload, he counted it carefully.

The silver tickets were all one hundred taels, one hundred and sixty thousand five hundred taels, which was one thousand six hundred and five, and he and Tao Zhu quickly counted them.

After counting, the prefect took his homework seriously, and the scope of questions was initially four books and five classics, and soon expanded to three histories and three biographies.

In the past six months, except for digging wells in the summer, he rarely did side things, and devoted himself to studying.

He is willing to work hard, and his own memory is good, so the results of this half year of reading are very gratifying.

The more the governor took the exam, the more satisfied he became, and in the end he was already smiling.

Li Qiao is willing to work hard, his brain is still smart, he can be a man, and he knows how to be grateful, so many conditions are added together, if Li Qiao doesn't fly, it will be intolerable that day.

I have to take advantage of the fact that Li Qiao has not flown at this time, and have a good relationship with Li Qiao!

It is rare to see Li Qiao once, and the Ming Governor stayed Li Qiao and Tao Zhu for lunch.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu specially brought some duck goods and snacks when they came, and the last time they were in Fucheng, because they were not familiar with the place, their husband and wife only brought some tea when they went to visit the Ming Governor's Mansion.

Now that the Ming Governor's Mansion has come to Pingcheng, they naturally have to prepare more gifts.

Mingzhifu has been busy with Yongxing County during this time, and he has only heard about the duck goods in Pingcheng, but he has not had time to taste them.

At this time, he ate these ducks in his mouth, in addition to praise, he wanted to sigh more.

As far as Li Qiao's ability to do this whole job, let alone in Pingcheng, even if he is put in the northwest desert, he can also turn over different waves.

The future is limitless!

Now that the weather is cold, the duck goods can be put for a few more days after they are ready, and the prefect suggested that Li Qiao expand production.

This duck is so delicious, you should make more.

In this way, not only can Li Qiao earn more silver, but the villagers can also earn more silver.

When Li Qiao heard this, he nodded again and again, he and Tao Zhu were already recruiting.

A few days ago, a man named Fang Shitong found him, saying that he wanted to sell his duck goods to Fucheng, hoping to bypass Mochizuki Tower and get the goods directly from him.
