Chapter 237 The Taoist goes down the mountain

The days of studying are always boring. Jiang Liuyu passed the lessons of the imperial examination and his attitude has long been corrected. Recommended: The new work of the master of Water Moon Ripple, "The Law of Survival in Desert Islands" has been completed. http://www./2_2100/

He didn't say it, but he was not convinced. Chen Kang had just been in school for a few years and was in school. He was a classmate with him and took the exam together, but he was the first. Jiang Liuyan entered elementary school at the age of five, so how could he let go of his face and not bend others?

So, he made up his mind to catch up.

In addition to listening to Luo Fu's lectures in Minglun Hall every day, Zhang Ge was with these three young men, talking about the past and the present, and reading and practicing calligraphy together.

Humans are born lonely animals, and human nature needs to be with people. These people have similar ambitions and study together, which is often more rewarding than being alone in the room.

In the blink of an eye, October is coming, and it is the season of harvest again.

This year, most of the 30,000 farmers in Xiping County chose to grow rice and crabs. Some gentry also purchased mountain land on a large scale and found the Shen family to learn how to cultivate mountain land.

After a year of hard work, the farmers finally started to rush to harvest.

The harvest this year is still 20% less than that of the good harvest, but fortunately, there are still rice and crabs to make up. Compared with the two, a discerning person can tell whether he loses or makes a profit after a rough calculation.

On this day, Xiping County Magistrate Zhang Chong led the county government officials and the negotiated restaurant procurement together to visit Xianan Village.

The villagers were very excited and began to kneel down from a distance to thank them.

Yang Chengli welcomed him, bowed and said, "Student Yang Chengli, pay homage to the county master."

Zhang Chong nodded happily and replied: "How is the harvest?"

Yang Chengli bowed and said, "Go back to the county and honor your parents. The 110 households in Xianan Village have been collected. Now each family is waiting to measure taxes first, then convert the rice and crabs, and then settle the surplus."

"Okay." Zhang Chong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's lead the way, let's go weigh together."

"Yes." Yang Chengyi bent down and made a gesture of asking for help. Zhang Chong smiled and walked out first.

Chen Cheng, Chen Wang and a group of villagers sent the county magistrate to leave first, and then stood up with each other. Chen Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "It's so majestic. Uncle Wang said that only after he has passed the imperial examination can he have the opportunity to become an official. I don't know the mistress..."

Mrs. Chen also looked envious, and said, "Didn't you hear the village chief say that our mistress is the first of two cases in the county and government tests! It's no problem to take the imperial examination."

Chen Cheng had heard people say it hundreds of times, but every time he still wanted to listen again, and listen again, as if he listened to this again, his mistress didn't have to take the exam and became an official.

I think of his Shen family, who have been farmers for generations, if such a promising official really comes out, there will be smoke from the ancestral grave.

But thinking about this, he was a little scared again. If this is the case, would he have to respect him when he sees the mistress in the future?

ah!

He had beaten the mistress hard before.

He sighed, his joy and worries mixed together, but the smile on his face remained undiminished.

Surrounded by officials and villagers and businessmen, Zhang Chong arrived at the foot of Linglong Mountain. The yamen had already arranged a large scale and temporarily set up a low shed next to it. The shed was transparent on all sides, and only the roof covered the sun.

There are two large and small desks in the shed, and chairs are placed.

Zhang Chong was invited into the shed and sat down in the main seat. Another chief clerk sat in front of the small desk beside him, adding pens and ink, and preparing to record the grain in the warehouse.

After waiting for a while, all the households went out to move the grain and crabs in various containers to the front, and the yamen were weighing them in an orderly manner.

The rice was white and the rice was green. Zhang Chong's smile became more and more prosperous. He got up and came to the weighed pile of grain and picked up a handful of rice.

Asked, "This rice is very white, is the reason also on the rice and crabs?"

Yang Chengli bowed and smiled, saying, "Chen San said that because the crabs ate the pests and weeds in the fields, the grains grown will be a little better than the original quality."

"Yeah." Zhang Chong nodded with a smile, and then said, "When Chen San wrote the method of growing rice and crabs into a book, the county only gave him a single piece of calligraphy. Now, looking at these grains and crabs, I feel that the character is too light and light."

Yang Chengli looked up at him and bowed, "Chen San's actions will benefit the people, and it will be of great contribution."

"It's reasonable." Zhang Chong stood with his hands behind his back, breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned around and said, "After weighing the rice and crabs, the price is uniform, and the market price is not allowed to be disrupted randomly."

"Yes, a large number of rice and crabs are produced this year, and it is inevitable that someone will want to take advantage of loopholes." Shi Zhuanbu replied.

Zhang Chong nodded and said, "It is precisely because it is the first year that we should be extra careful. Raising the market price and collecting crabs at low prices will affect the future market."

Master Shi thought about it and replied, "In three years, it will be stable."

Zhang Chong turned his eyes to look at him and smiled, "You are the same as the county thinks."

Shi Zhubu smiled and said, "The officials dare not, they are all learned from following Lord Zhang."

"Haha." The two looked at each other and smiled, looking at the white food one after another, with indescribable joy.

On Linglong Mountain, Wuji Temple.

Zhenren Xuan Ya stood on the pavilion and looked down at the world, and couldn't help but smile. The breeze blew his wide-sleeved Taoist robe whirred.

He looked at the busy scene at the foot of the mountain, and the disciple next to him stroked his beard and said, "This county magistrate is really a great person."

Zhenren Xuan Ya said: "It's because of his thunderous and decisive behavior. In recent years, there are few capable people in Runing Mansion. Since the emergence of Tianquan Star, it has changed the fortune of the land and water."

A disciple asked, "Master, can you ask if you have calculated who the Tianquan star refers to?"

Zhenren Xuan Ya stared at him, paused for a moment, and said, "I know that those who come from the world have passed and the next life. But the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, and the fate is determined. In the future, you and I will still need to assist him."

The disciple was shocked and asked in panic: "Master is going to the mortal world for a while."

True Man Xuan Ya smiled and replied: "There is the Tao in your heart, and there is a pure land everywhere. If there is no Tao in your heart, what can you understand if you live in the deep mountains?"

As he said that, he turned around, looked down at the four disciples who were kneeling behind him, and called one of them, saying, "Wu Shang, Wu Yi, you two stay in Wu Ji Temple."

He looked at the other two again and said, "Wuxin, Wufight, follow him down the mountain."

The four of them looked at the people around them without any doubt, bowing and saying, "Yes, Master."

Rice crabs entered the market silently and walked onto the dining tables of gentry and officials. Rice crabs harvested from Xiping County became popular throughout Runing Mansion for a while.
