Pingshou County is small, but the ox cart drove through the streets and alleys, saw the various neighborhoods scattered, arrived at Yamen Street, the vicinity is all mansions, the buildings and pavilions are not dotted around, but also looming.

At this moment, it is the tenth day of the first month of October, several times of drizzle, the autumn is getting colder, and it is close to the north, and everyone has thickened their robes.

In the morning, the clouds became heavier and heavier, and the sky was covered with haze, and an ox cart drove and arrived in front of the county yazhaobi.

"Lord, when I arrived, the matter was discussed, but the county order wanted to talk directly to the son. Lu Shangjing held the reins, looked at the gate of the mansion, and said.

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, don't take it to heart, this is a worldly thought, and besides, don't take the reins to drive the car yourself, to be realistic, let you do this, I feel uneasy."

Lu Shangjing also smiled: "What's wrong with driving for the lord-lord-lord, today is a day off, you can have a good talk with the county magistrate." ”

Ye Qing bowed his head and went up.

Da Cai preferential treatment of officials, five days of bathing, ten days off, but in fact will not be strictly implemented, the normal work and rest rules do not exist for the pro-people officials, when things are busy, even the commuting time will be blurred, and there is no overtime pay, but when there is no emergency, the county order also has a lot of time to rest.

Arrived at the county office, there were two knife-wielding guards at the door, and then they looked over, until they saw Ye Qing wearing a wide robe and a silver crown, knowing that Lu Dao was not an ordinary person, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Ye Qing handed the name sticker in, and not long after, Lu Ming personally greeted him, at this time, he was not wearing an official uniform, he was wearing a leisurely goose yellow robe, and he descended to greet him: "Come to Ye with Jinshi?"

As he spoke, Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and he saw Ye Qing wearing a wide robe, a bamboo crown, and high-toothed clogs, with fluttering sleeves, looking forward to the brilliance, which made people forget at first sight.

Lu Ming couldn't help but think in his heart: "It's really handsome...... But I only watched it a year ago, and there is still a mean appearance, but now it is mellow and symmetrical, faintly condensed and noble, which is really hard to believe. ”

Stunned, Ye Qing was deeply stunned at this time, and thanked with a smile: "The adults said that they were laughing, the student Ye Qing visited the county lord and the students were trapped at home, if it weren't for the adults, how could there be today?"

"Ha Luha, I haven't seen you for a few days, you Xie Yuangong has not entered the officialdom, but you have learned some roundabouts...... Come on in. As he spoke, Lu Ming affectionately held Ye Qing's hand and walked in together.

Now Ye Qing's identity is different, he is dignified, and he is Xie Yuangong, which is enough to get this treatment, not to mention that he is only sixteen years old

Behind the county government is the residence of the county order, hidden under an ancient big cedar tree, the courtyard wall is covered with moss, it seems that the vicissitudes of the years, the wall is pasted with gold and red broken porcelain pieces with the picture of the auspicious beast, and the courtyard is bypassed, at this time it is full of golden chrysanthemums, it is very graceful style, and the aesthetic taste of the main family is seen.

Along the way, a few servants and maids were sprinkling and sweeping, and when they saw them passing by, they all bowed down, respectful and natural, and the atmosphere was peaceful, on the way, Lu Ming remembered some and asked, "Is Xie Yuan's family okay?"

"Fortunately, thanks to the reinforcements of the Lord, the clansmen used their lives and were not injured. Ye Qing was grateful and respectful, showing that he had taken everything to heart.

"That's good, as long as the vitality is not injured and the family recuperates for a few years, the family will go further......" Lu Ming said with a finger, but smiled again: "This time I won the Yuan in one fell swoop, and I am also going to recuperate for three years?"

Ye Qing shook his head, pointing at the golden chrysanthemum in the courtyard: "One year withers, how many three years of life? ”

Lu Ming stopped and looked at the hall for a moment, his expression was slightly dazed, and he glanced back at Ye Qing for a moment: "Your idea is very good, and it is also a blessing for the imperial court...... It's just that in this way, I will take the exam in the second year of next year, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the Jinshi, so I don't regret this hope of eternal life?"

There was a living room in front, Ye Qing smiled slightly, bowed down and did not answer, only followed him into the living room, as soon as he entered, he immediately felt warm, but there was a smoke cage.

"Well, you young people have your own ideas......" The guest and host sat down, did not talk about things, ordered tea, and chatted for a while.

Ye Qing coped with it decently, did not express sharp opinions, and only drank a cup of tea, Lu Ming took the initiative to extend the topic to the exchange of silver money in the county, Ye Qing knew that the Dao drama meat was coming, and his mind was racing at the moment, and he listened attentively.

"The county's silver money exchange, one or two silver for more than 800 Wen, it is found that it started ten years ago, the three magistrates of the county tried to calm down, and they all achieved results in the short term, but after less than half a year, it was a resurgence, and even fell some, this lesson from the past can not be guarded against, Xie Yuanshi lives here, what do you think?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.

Ye Qing said seriously: "This topic is too big, and it will not be clear for a while. ”

Lu Ming waved his hand: "It's okay, we're chatting now, we don't need to be too detailed, Xie Yuan doesn't need to worry too much, pick up some essential things to talk about." ”

"Yes" Ye Qingyu responded crisply, to the point where he is now, every word and deed to the outside world can be said to represent the interests and trends of the Ye family, there is not much difference between small talk and small talk, and he will not take this face to face seriously.

However, in his previous life, he was deeply impressed by the success or failure of the county's governance, and at this time, he let it go in his mind and sorted out whether there was any damage.

"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry, and don't be humble with your talent. Lu Ming just looked at it with an appreciative smile, the dual identities of the elder and the magistrate were well handled.

Ten breaths later, Ye Qing had already thought about it clearly, and stated calmly: "The Ming Mansion wants to do three things, money, road construction, and thieves, and the three facts are one thing. ”

"Oh?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, this coincided with his thoughts, and he really became interested: "You are not a hit, a blockbuster...... Okay, I'll hear what you have to say. ”

"It's just a little superficial, please correct the Ming government. Ye Qing said modestly, sat upright, but there was a faint voice of gold and stone in his tone: "The current situation in our county is: first of all, it is located in the foothills of the northern mountains, which is a natural danger for the army in wartime, but there are many dark roads to collude with the Northern Wei Dynasty in peacetime, and it is difficult for the sentry posts to supervise one by one, so that the secret agents and bandits have a hiding space, and they have repeatedly escaped the blows of the government, and they have made a comeback, which is a century-old stubborn disease and the root of the disease." ”

"Secondly, the road is not quiet, Pingshou was originally a township, and it was not long after the township was promoted to the county, the time was still short, the construction of the official road was not perfect, and the road passed through the mountains and wilderness, and it was difficult everywhere, and the big trouble was the bandits in the mountains."

"A few people, a group of more than a dozen mountain people, do not flood, do not kill, do not even care about ordinary pedestrians, some of them take off the clothes of thieves back to the mountains to farm after the robbery, it is difficult to distinguish the people and bandits. ”

"This can't go up to the state and county to send troops to encircle and suppress the grade, but in this way, the evil people will have a great impact on the commercial goods, and the customs pass card will be stripped up a few layers, and the original land cost will be high, and then the sales can only increase the price, until the rice ships and cargo ships that come from the waterway can not reach the waterway, which makes the business depressed. ”

"Of course, some people say that there are still waterways, but unfortunately the Qingshui tributary flows into the big river, passes through Taiping County, and then goes down to Pinghe County, which is another economic circle, and other rice and groceries are just that, mainly imported, but what about the output products?

Lu Ming stroked the three strands of long beard, and listened with a heavy expression, how could other officials look down on it and directly reject it - it is better to make it your own dog food than to let people from other counties earn it.

Ye Qing saw that he no longer elaborated, and continued: "The most expensive silver money is cheap, the standard is one or two for a thousand wen, the actual quality, the rentier of the money village, it is good to be able to exchange nine hundred and fifty wen, and the next one nine hundred wen is also tolerated, because this silver is not used in the daily life of the people." ”

"Originally, if the official road was convenient and commerce was prosperous, the exchange of silver money would not be very different from other counties and counties, but Pingshou County was closed, and some people took the opportunity to manipulate the exchange ratio, so that the more expensive the money, the cheaper the silver, and the impact was more on commerce, and they were unwilling to exchange money in the county, which limited the coverage of purchases and affected trade. ”

"This is the so-called silver money, road construction, thief warehouse, three things in one, after learning to take the liberty of saying this, adult Haihan. ”

Lu Ming's jaw was very admired, and he admired Ye Qing's finesse very much, and sighed after thinking for a while: "What you said is very good, three things in one, speaking of my heart, I have also studied the previous county decrees, basically starting with the silver money, at the beginning it was also joyful support, but it was a matter of promoting the economy, and then the results were not good, and then they no longer supported it, businessmen, money banks, and tax collectors are all complaining, especially behind the tax collectors are all families, and the overt and covert opposition to the decree will not be over, this is a lesson丨"

Ye Qing smiled secretly in his heart, this should be said to Lu Ming's heart, it was originally the words of this person in his previous life, but he had not yet been promoted in that meeting, he was just an inconspicuous talent in the venue, but now he can communicate face-to-face, and even adjust the order of the three pieces in a targeted manner, and bury private goods.

Lu Ming didn't know that he was seeing through his thoughts, and sighed: "There are also attempts to start by building roads by themselves, which is not something that can be solved by a decree, and the service can still be levied, and the backbone of the steward can also be selected according to fairness and these two points, but the typical mountain agricultural economy in the county, due to the natural backlash of reclamation of mountain fields, grain and rice have to be prepared for disaster relief and reclamation after the flash flood all year round, and it is even more difficult to raise money and materials." ”

This is a meaningful sentence, so I looked at it with my eyes, and sighed heavily: "This is the difficult way for a good woman to cook without rice......"

Ye Qing couldn't hear that this was the meaning of the autumn wind, so he tested himself at this time, and soon after, he might be apportioned to each family according to the number.

can activate the economy of a county in the achievement, and can also sell the county's situation, and give a few thousand taels to help, Ye Qing is not a problem, but he knows that Lu Dao has failed in this matter, how can he make such unjust money?

He has hinted so clearly, but Lu Ming never mentioned the matter of raising troops and suppressing bandits first, perhaps out of political influence, after all, it is easy to cause a big mess by strangling the mountain people who are integrated with the people and bandits, this can be regarded as the way of the old man, but in his own eyes, he still follows the path of failure in his previous life.

The problem in Pingshou County is really that the families in the county have colluded with the mountain bandits to form an iron bucket in the county, and only by vigorously and resolutely cracking down on the mountain bandits, these families will lose their most important means and can calmly clean up the situation

"Such a fellow jinshi all have their own set of governing philosophy, how can they be easily shaken?" Thinking like this, he sighed secretly at the moment: "Forget it, originally for the sake of this person to do practical things, I would advise him, and it would be a pity if I didn't adopt it." ”

At this time, he instantly changed his mind, thinking that he had just come prepared, so he smiled: "If the Ming Mansion uses money, how about 300,000 taels?"
