Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 444 The Season of Harvest 【Order】

At the end of August, the autumn air is crisp and the sky is clear and cloudless.

Ripe soybeans and sorghum are heavy, intertwined with golden yellow and emerald green red, like a layer of colorful blankets on the ground.

In Zizhou Prefecture, a hundred miles away from Yidu, the ripe soybeans roll with the breeze, like a golden ocean.

The new county magistrate Li Xu [Li Ruoxu] stood on the edge of a field with his hands tied, looking at the golden bean field with an uncontrollable smile on his face.Soybeans are a good thing.

Although the soybean oil is seldom eaten, it has the beany smell in it, it cannot be taken away, and it is more used for lighting, but the price of the soybean cake is not cheap, and it is the best food for livestock.The government is open to acquisitions, which continue throughout the seasons.Not to mention that soybeans can be used to make tofu, which is also what Liang Shanjun needs in all seasons.Tofu, bean paste, soy milk, bean curd, dried bean sprouts, bean sprouts and other soy products are just to name a few.

The high price purchased by the government has meant that the number of people planting soybeans after this summer's wheat harvest has significantly exceeded that of sorghum. Now that the autumn harvest is around the corner, people outside the city have gone out to welcome the harvest happily.

Naturally, Li Ruoxu wouldn't sit firmly in the yamen at this moment, even the state officials still have to go to visit the localities at this moment, how could the county magistrate he just arrived be so thorny?What's more, his personality is also pragmatic. Back in his hometown in Mingzhou, his younger brother Li Ruoshui was a high school scholar, and his elder brother came to welcome him. Li Ruoxu was in charge of the family's finances.Although he doesn't know how to plow the fields, he has a certain understanding of farming.If so, we will inspect the county, and today we are in Baishui Town.

"Mr. Xiang." A small official under his command rushed over, "Hurry back to Baishui Town, there is a nobleman in the town."

Li Ruoxu let out an "ah" and asked, "Do you know who is here?"

"There was no report, only one of the entourage showed his official certificate, and he also bluntly said that he and Xianggong have a friendship in the same discipline." Everyone knows that Li Xianggong, who has just arrived, is a Jinshi in the current discipline. Not at all.

Li Ruoxu was slightly dazed, and then hurriedly called back to town.

A servant nearby quickly brought a horse, Li Ruoxu got on the horse, took two officials with horses, one of them was the township official of Baishui Town, and went straight to the town.

"Could it be that... someone came from Yidu?" The rest of the officials were discussing, looking at the direction where the magistrate was going, some people thought so.Earlier, when the summer grain harvest was bumper, Yidu also sent many people to find out the real situation in the area.

Seeing that the three cavalrymen quickly disappeared, everyone could only shake their heads and continue to inspect the fields.The topic of discussion turned to Li Ruoxu, the county magistrate.

In the imperial examination, Li Ruoxu ranked sixth, so staying in Yi is no problem.But this master came to the place on his own initiative.Although everyone praised him for daring to do things, everyone knew in their hearts that Li Ruoxu's actions must have been influenced by those words.

Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty must be prime ministers from the state department, and fierce generals must be sent from the ranks of soldiers - Han Fei·Xianxue.

It is said that this sentence will be printed in the preface of the next edition of "Political Plan".The King even said it himself: Grassroots training is a necessary course for the growth of civil and military officials.Therefore, don't bother with words or use the background of the times to say what Han Feizi's "true meaning" was. Lu Qian clearly talked about the grassroots level.

Li Xu rode his horse to the town, and met an acquaintance in front of the town office, Chang Tongye.No. 1 in this subject, the number one scholar, got off his horse in a hurry, flew towards him, and said: "Li Xu has made a mistake and welcomes you." He said and bowed.Often with the gift.

After the ceremony, Chang Tong gestured inward, and went in with Li Ruoxu.At that time, why didn't Li Ruoxu know who the insider was?As far as he knows, this is often the same as working as a secretary.

Taking a deep breath, straightening his clothes, this side continued to stride in.

"Li Xu." A soft call sounded as he stepped into the hall.

Looking at the face of the man in the hall, Li Ruoxu directly prostrated himself on the ground, saluted and said: "Li Xu has seen the king." There were two people sitting beside him, the person on the right was Sanshan Huangxin, the military envoy of the state, and the other Although one didn't recognize him, his status was obviously higher than Huang Xin's.

"Get up, get up." Lu Qian called Li Ruoxu to get up, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have become a lot thinner." This person is the first among the current Jinshi. Lu Qian was deeply impressed by the person who requested to be a local official for his parents, who also ranked best in the imperial examination, and was one of the 200 people admitted with unknown origins.

"I've already asked Huang Xin, you haven't been here for long, but you've done things in a down-to-earth manner, so you're so kind." Lu Qian's compliment made Li Ruoxu ecstatic, but his character was cautious, no matter how happy he was, he didn't show it.When Lu Qian asked about Qiu Liang's love, he calmed down, calmed down, and explained to Lu Qian one by one.

From the acres of autumn grain fields in a county to the yield of soybeans and sorghum harvested per mu, in the following days, people will be mobilized to build water conservancy projects, repair roads, and even start to set up county schools, hire famous teachers in the country, and recruit students.Fifteen ten, bit by bit, related figures, planning, consumption, names of people, etc., are handy, without any hiccups.

If Lu Qian was a little hypocritical when he praised him earlier, and it was more because of his loyalty, then he is really happy now.

"Okay, this is what you should look like when you serve as an official to benefit one party. You must know that you must be down-to-earth in doing things, and you must not be a man of fame."

Li Ruoxu cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "As the head of a county, this is a matter of my duty."

Still cautious and respectful, he faced Lu Qian's repeated compliments.

"May I ask your Majesty, if you pass by Baishui Town today, can you stay here? Or go to Zizhou City?"

Lu Qian then called Li Ruoxu and the other two low-level officials to call him. These two already knew Lu Qian's identity.The conversation with each other also helped Lu Qian understand the current township officials and county-level officials.The two retreated, Li Ruoxu asked.If Lu Qian stayed overnight in Baishui Town, he might as well get someone to clean up the courtyard earlier.

"I'm going to go out for a walk later. I'm afraid I won't have time to leave today, so I'll stay overnight and leave tomorrow." Lu Qian thought about it and said that he would also visit the recruits in the new barracks in Baishui Town later.The new barracks in Zizhou is just south of Baishui Town.

These are the garrison soldiers recruited later. Tian Hu and Wang Qing are about to become disabled, and the war may be coming in winter. The Liangshan Army has been expanding the garrison these days, and then selects its elite to raise the reserve army.This is essentially a move to reorganize the reserve army. "It doesn't have to be too much trouble. I'm not particular about this, so you don't have to worry about it. You just need to find a clean courtyard where you can stay for a night."

Li Ruoxu retreated in response.

Lu Qian can talk like this, but he can't really act like this.The township official of Baishui Town was still called to order him to quickly clean up the most delicate of the several courtyards held by the town office, and it must be cleaned up before dark.

Many matters are carefully interrogated and arranged carefully, lest they are not well thought out.Lu Qian could only smile wryly when he saw it, instead of stopping it.Otherwise, I don't know how uneasy this person is at night.

After the time was announced, the converted time was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was westward.

In a tavern outside the recruit camp, several soldiers on vacation were still drinking. When Lu Qian arrived with Hua Rong and Huang Xin, he saw a man with a yellow frame and red stripes on his collar, his eyes were red, and he snapped. Slapping his palms on the table, "Damn it, I don't want to hang out with groups of birds every day."

Yellow frame and red bar, this person is already a first-level commander.Lu Qian looked familiar to everyone. He looked at Huang Xin, who lowered his felt hat and said, "Brother, this person's surname is Zhao Ming'an, and he is the old man who lived in the lake. Maybe you think he looks familiar to you, brother." "

Everyone picked up a pair of chairs and sat down. The hotel is not big, and there are seven or eight chairs in the room, all of which are tables and stools with red sleeves.Two willow trees outside the eaves are higher than the ridge of the roof, reflecting the shade of a pole tree on the seat.

Lu Qian and the others were sitting outside, while Zhao An and his group were inside.

The horse was led to tie up in the alley next to the store, and there were two flat-topped carts lined up next to the wall of the hotel.Seeing that they were all riding horses, the bartender hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

It's natural to have fun and go to deal with it, Lu Qian just sat down and squinted at Zhao An's group through the window.Listening to Huang Xin's words, it was Zhao An's old superior, who Zhou Chunlai punished him, and entrusted him with a big task - to build a new camp.

He came to the new barracks to train troops.That's it.

The person opposite Zhao An picked up a wine bowl and took a sip, before lazily persuading him, "Tou Zhao, those are recruits, and they will be recruited in the future. Deputy Envoy Zhou said that no matter whether these soldiers are good or bad, They will all be incorporated into our battalion in the future. We have less than 50 veterans and more than 400 new recruits."

"Bird soldiers, I get a headache when I see them, and I don't look like a soldier in military uniform. I resist a spear like a hoe. I get a headache just looking at them."

One person coughed, looked at the people around the wine shop, and said in a low voice: "I said Zhao Tou, because you lost the old Yingtou with your loud voice, you have to correct this problem. There are too many people in this hotel. I'm sure you won't be allowed to hear the words of Deputy Envoy Zhou, and you will be cut off again."

"That's right. Maybe Deputy Envoy Zhou exchanged you for recruits because of your loud voice."

It seemed that no one at the whole wine table was with Zhao An, so Lu Qian laughed when he heard that.

"Fart your mother." Zhao An gave these subordinates a hard look.It's a pity that he himself is not a serious type. He is full of affection in front of his brothers, and his majesty is a little bit less. "A group of stupid birds, with a few clever ones, they are just like a bird's beak when they are idle, showing off their punching sticks, but they are useless when they are actually on the court. Seeing a paper tiger can also scare these guys with their assholes in their hands. Let go. I can beat them a hundred." When the recruits thought about it, they made him angry.

A strong man outside on the left said, "Commander, why don't you talk to Deputy Zhou and tell him carefully, although we are peaceful in Zizhou, the world is not peaceful. We are fighting in the sky, and there is no guarantee that the Western Army will come." You are the top hero in the Zizhou army. You should lead the good soldiers. Let's go back to the old camp and find out who is responsible for these bad soldiers." The strong man who spoke was called Huang Lang, a Laizhou mountain man who came to Dengzhou. After making great contributions to the war, he further studied at the Military Academy for three months and was sent to the Zizhou Army as deputy commander.

It was supposed to be a happy one, but it was expected that the commander would be unlucky, and his deputy commander would also be unlucky.Although this state and county are going to expand their battalions, this newly promoted official should be the top one.But who would have expected that Zhao An was so ignorant of "promotion".

Huang Xin said to Lu Qian: "Deputy Envoy Zhou managed to push this guy into the Wulue Academy for further study." Zhao An himself was the Commander, and after some training, he turned around and became the Deputy Military Envoy. If the cow doesn't fall into the trap, he insists on not going, but Zhou Fu is very angry."

From Huang Xin's point of view, Zhou Chunlai has done his best to Zhao An.It was Zhao An himself who was useless.

Over there, Zhao An held back for a long time, then suddenly lost his temper and said, "I am only training recruits, and I don't know how to read that bird book."

The others at the wine table shook their heads together and said in unison: "Then you still complain."
