"This little collar is really upright."

Lu Yuan looked at the clothes in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty can really be regarded as the aesthetic peak of the Chinese nation.

It's like what kind of brocade guard, embroidered spring knife or something, don't talk about it.

The same is true of this robe.

The color of Lu Yuan's official robe is cyan.

Lu Yuan's grade is the seventh grade.

As mentioned before, this Shenling Empire is almost no different from the Ming Dynasty on Earth.

The grade of the county magistrate is from the sixth grade.

Zhongxian is the seventh product.

The lower county is from the seventh grade.

Taining City is not big or small, it is not a big county, but it is not a small county either.

It's rare to have a seven-grade official.

In particular, how old is Lu Yuan this year, and this appointment is a seven-grade official.

It's the same as a direct lift.

But if you look back on these years of history, how many people can be promoted at the age of 20 and then become officials?

Lu Yuan, this is really rare.

It's just that......

If you enter the officialdom in your twenties, the future will naturally be gone.

However, Lu Yuan is not like that, so there is a big gap between him and those who are really in their twenties and then become officials.

But it doesn't matter.

Lu Yuan didn't want to go up.

I just want to be a parent and official in this Taining City for a lifetime.

Speaking of which, Song Chi's father-in-law, that is, the political envoy, is really efficient.

The trial was completed in more than a month, and it was reported to the Ministry of Officials, Zhongshu Province.

Lu Yuan's official son was appointed after the political envoy reported to Zhongshu Province.

As for the matter of the Liu family, it's not over yet.

This is according to the probation, not that the province can be qualitated by its own examination.

Even if the evidence is completely conclusive, it has to be tried by the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Books, and the Ministry of Books.

These two are not good after the trial.

It has to be tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After such a set of processes, don't think about it for a year or two.

But that was the final verdict.

Anyway, the Liu family is completely finished now, and they can't turn over, but there is no need to worry.

As for the time of the past two years, will the Liu family operate secretly or something.

This kind of thing is possible with other emperors.

In Lao Zhu's place, it's almost impossible.

After hearing the news of the Liu family in the future, he was either exiled or beheaded.

Several women in the family gathered around Lu Yuan and helped Lu Yuan tidy up his clothes and hats.

To ensure that there is no mistake, it must be upright.

Although, this Qipinzhi County is not a big official.

But an official is an official.

The people are the people.

The Zhao family is powerful in Taining City, right?

What was Aunt Zhao's name before?

The Earth Emperor of Taining City.

After all, the Emperor of the soil still has a soil.

Even if this Taining City is really surnamed Zhao and called Zhao Ningcheng, then Aunt Zhao has to get out of the car first to say hello when she sees the county.

When it comes to the Chinese New Year, it has to be Aunt Zhao to visit the county, not the county to visit Aunt Zhao.

That's a glorious thing.

After becoming an official, Lu Yuan also got the official fortune of the empire, and the evil deeds in the future will not be able to harm Lu Yuan even more.

Of course.

It didn't hurt before.

But it's still a little different now.

In the past, the evil people couldn't harm Lu Yuan because he had the Holy Body, no matter what he did, Lu Yuan was fine.

But then again.

Lu Yuan is not afraid that those evil spirits will kill him or hurt himself.

Lu Yuan was afraid of those gloomy things.

But now with the blessing of the empire's luck, those little walkers, little evils, have to run when they see Lu Yuan from afar.

He didn't dare to show his face in front of Lu Yuan at all.

As for the big line, it's a big evil......

We have "Holy Communion" and "Heavenly Master"!

Dare to scream in front of your buddies, and kill you!

……

"Madam, is the young master ready?"

Outside the east wing, the old housekeeper stood at the door urging.

And Zhao Qiaoer couldn't help but smack her lips and said with some annoyance:

"What a rush!

Isn't this a good idea?! ”

And the old housekeeper outside hurriedly said:

"Someone from the provincial capital has come, and the political envoy sent a congratulatory note.

They're waiting over there...... After a while, it will not be good. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qiao'er looked at Lu Yuan next to her.

This is also said, everything is done at an auspicious time.

And Lu Yuan straightened the collar by himself.

Then he pulled Su Liyan, who was squatting on the ground and tidying up his trouser legs, and Song Meiqin and said:

"Okay, don't fix it, take two steps and it will change again."

……

Eventually, here at the yamen.

Lu Yuan came to the gate of the yamen in the middle of the welcome of many people.

There are quite a few people here today.

On both sides of the road, there are officials sent by the provincial capital, and there are local shopkeepers.

There are also some people who watch the excitement.

The next thing is some process or something, talk about it or something, it's more cumbersome, there's nothing to say.

This matter has been going on for more than half an hour, and it is about to end.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, followed by a shouting.

Lu Yuan fixed his eyes.

Hey.

Gu Gaoxu is here.

Seeing Gu Gaoxu, Lu Yuan hadn't spoken yet.

Gu Gaoxu jumped off the horse and complained while walking towards Lu Yuan:

"You really don't think of us as buddies.

is going to be an official, why don't you send someone to talk to us, let's come to congratulate you. ”

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Gaoxu and said with a smile:

"Aren't you here anyway?"

But Gu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows and said directly:

"We heard from others, we came here in a hurry, and we didn't prepare anything for you!"

Looking at Gu Gaoxu in front of him, Lu Yuan grinned and said:

"Just when people come, bring something!"

……

It's noon.

The inner room of the yamen.

Lu Yuan and Gu Gaoxu sat and talked.

The three women of the family held hands and walked around the yamen curiously.

Speaking of which, for this Taining City, the three women in the family have never been to except for the kiln, and almost all other places have been there.

I haven't seen the fresh scenery here in the yamen.

You can look at it casually.

"So fast?"

Lu Yuan crossed Erlang's legs, held a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at Gu Gaoxu with a surprised expression.

Have all the factories in Yandu been built?

That's too fast, it's been less than two months back and forth.

Lu Yuan thought about the factory in Yandu, how could it take half a year, four or five months.

But I didn't expect this to be the end of it?

And Gu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows proudly and said:

"That's really, you don't look at how many people we get to work!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows and said:

"How many?"

Gu Gaoxu compared a number of words:

"Eleven thousand!"

Listening to Gu Gaoxu's words, Lu Yuan had a question mark on his face:

"Huh?"

Where did so many people come from?

Could it be that this kid has also transferred out the military master in the barracks?

This Gu Gaoxu looked at Lu Yuan like this, thinking that Lu Yuan disliked too many people.

At that time, the factory will have to pay a lot of wages.

Immediately, Gu Gaoxu hurriedly said:

"You can rest assured, these 11,000 people are all homeless.

When the time comes, they will be allowed to enter the factory, and they will not have to be paid, just take care of the food every day. ”

Refugee?

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant.

Although Lu Yuan had never been to Yandu, he also knew the general situation.

Guess and guess it.

No need to send money?

Just take care of the rice every day?

When Lu Yuan was thinking, Gu Gaoxu on the side couldn't help but blink when he looked at Lu Yuan like this.

Bite?

Can't just cook rice?

Gu Gaoxu pondered, and it seemed that it was.

This was not a family before, and I didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive.

This has been a home for more than a month, and more than 10,000 people spend the same amount of money just as much as a reservoir to enlarge water just for food every day.

Gu Gaoxu pondered, and then said:

"More?

Or are we going to get some people out?

Just keep eight thousand, or...... Six ......"

Before Gu Gaoxu finished speaking, Lu Yuan directly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Huh?

Fart!

There are still some less, how many homeless people are there in Yandu now? ”

Gu Gaoxu blinked:

"Huh?"

Gu Gaoxu, who came back to his senses, pondered:

"It's not easy to count these homeless people, anyway, we have more than 11,000 people there.

As for the rest, can there be an eight-hundred, a thousand-hundred?

We don't know very well, after all, the homeless people can't get food in Yan today, so they go elsewhere. ”

Then Lu Yuan glared and said:

"Then catch it!!

There must be those who have to run to Yandu outside the gate, and there are those who haven't run to Yandu yet.

Find someone to pick it up on horseback! ”

Gu Gaoxu:

“？？？？”

"It's not...... Can you really want so many people??"

Looking at Gu Gaoxu's bear-like appearance, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's small.

If you want to catch it, you can just catch it, Sensei asked. ”

Lu Yuan didn't bother to explain to Gu Gaoxu.

Not to mention anything else, the 3,000-person factory here in Taining City is about to expand.

No way.

These things are not sold.

You go to the shop in Taining City.

There's still a long queue now.

It used to snow heavily in the winter, and this man didn't leave at night.

Holding a small maza, draped in a large quilt, waiting for days.

If you can't buy a car, it's not over.

In particular, Lu Yuan's car was originally only sold in the west of the province, but people on the southeast coast knew about it.

Now people from the southeast coast are coming to buy it.

This side of Taining City has to at least double in size.

And not to mention a place as big as Yandu.

Lu Yuan told Gu Gaoxu before that he would build a factory in Yandu, was it really because he had a good relationship with Gu Gaoxu?

NONONONO~

How much is a relationship worth?

I want the place of Yandu.

It's not that there are many people in Yandu, but if you build a big factory in Yandu, it can directly radiate to the entire northern and central parts of the empire.

There is also the Jianghuai area, which is the richest in the empire.

Of course, it was rich in the future, and now the Jianghuai area is somewhat miserable.

Because of the previous years of war, when the country was first founded, there were more than a dozen people left in Yangzhou.

But the empire has long had an imperial decree.

Now the focus is on support, especially now that it is the fifteenth year of Hongwu.

The Jianghuai area has already breathed a big sigh of relief.

In a few years, the Jianghuai region will become one of the most prosperous places in the empire.

Jiangnan.

It has been like this since ancient times.

And think about what are the swallows?

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!

Let's just say that transportation in ancient times was nothing like shipping.

Not to mention antiquity.

Even modern times are the same.

The big head is always water transport.

Back then, Han Xin was able to fight out of Shudi, but Zhuge Liang couldn't fight alive, why?

Is Zhuge Liang worse than Han Xin?

It's not because the river that Han Xin was able to transport grain and grass when he left Shu was cut off after a few hundred years.

The river was also like the dragon veins of the Great Khan.

This Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is worth too much.

In fact, Lu Yuan can also build a large factory on the southeast coast of the province.

Then go south by sea.

But with the current level of navigation, it's too difficult.

The sea is stormy and rough.

Don't say you're not afraid of the wind and waves, this is fucking transporting, not fishing.

A ship can hold more than 100,000 taels of goods, which is different from fish.

So, in the factory of Yandu.

The bigger the better, this is the factory that will supply the entire northern part of the empire, as well as the most prosperous places in the future.

Originally, Lu Yuan was still thinking about it, and he had to take his time and expand slowly.

After all, the stall is too big, where can I get the money?

No matter how rich the Zhao family is, this factory does not mean that it will be able to see the money back in one day.

But now it's good.

Hey!

Why didn't we expect there to be homeless people?

You don't have to pay for it, you talk about it.

"That'...... How many people does that need? ”

Gu Gaoxu asked with a wink.

And Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Thirty or fifty thousand people."

Gu Gaoxu said with a question mark on his face:

"Thirty or fifty thousand???

Where am I going to have so many people?? ”

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Then we don't care, anyway, you hurry up.

Starting tomorrow, we will let people transport equipment to Yandu.

When the time comes, the start of construction will be delayed, and you will make up for us. ”

Gu Gaoxu:

“？？？？”

Looking at Gu Gaoxu's face about to scold, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Just kidding.

But you do have to find more people.

At this time, the money in the factory, we will divide your profits. ”

After all, you can't just keep people busy, not give people money.

And Gu Gaoxu listened to Lu Yuan's words, and said with a strange expression:

"How much is the profit of two percent?"

Although Gu Gaoxu helped build the factory, he wanted to solve the problem of refugees.

If there is no money, he Gu Gaoxu is not particularly lacking.

Lu Yuan crossed Erlang's legs and smoked a cigarette:

"Anyway, last month, we had a factory of 3,000 people.

If you roughly calculate, it is close to 200,000 taels. ”

I still have to talk about it here, don't be too long-winded.

The Ming Dynasty was heavily taxed, which everyone knows.

But!

The Ming Dynasty did not pay heavy commercial taxes!

This business tax is almost the same as nothing!

This is also why in the late Ming Dynasty, the ministers had money, but the emperor had no money.

Because of those big chambers of commerce or something, these ministers are all named.

And the emperor didn't want to increase the commercial tax.

But this would be detrimental to the interests of the ministers.

It can be seen from the layers of obstacles imposed by Emperor Wanli on the mining tax.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's 200,000 per month is basically a real deal.

You can't pay much tax.

And Gu Gaoxu, who was on the side, listened to Lu Yuan's words and blinked.

Then he began to pull his fingers and calculated:

"Three thousand, two hundred thousand a month......

Those 30,000 people are 2 million a month......

That's two percent...... I'm 400,000 a month......

One year ......"

All of a sudden, Gu Gaoxu got up and walked out.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a question mark on his face:

"What are you going to do??"

Gu Gaoxu didn't reply:

"Back to Yandu!!

Go to the homeless people's homes and catch the homeless!! ”

Lu Yuan: "......"

"No, it's noon, you can eat before leaving!"

Huh?

No?

You step on a horse, what is the name of the homeless people!!
