Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 450 How old is your official?

Next, Song Huizong asked again.

Ask about the situation of men, women, children and so on here.

The farmer then told him all about the situation, how many old people there were, how many young people there were, and how many children there were.

These are all answered clearly. In addition, he also told Song Huizong that a school was established here to teach local children to read.

Also mobilized local knowledgeable old people to work as teachers.

The elderly can therefore have an easy job, and it can save some time for the young.

All in all, everything looks perfect.

Song Huizong was quite satisfied when he heard about these situations.

He thought the little farmer in front of him was pretty good.

Song Huizong asked: "You were promoted by the military minister. It's a pity that such a talent becomes a petty official!"

Song Huizong thought so.

The agricultural official hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. In fact, there are many small officials like me in Yanyun. This is the basic quality of officials in the Department of Political Affairs. It is also a compulsory course. They are all assessed. Knowing how to serve the people and how to manage basic labor services? If you don’t know anything, there is no need to be an official!”

"Oh?" Song Huizong's eyes lit up.

There are many farmers like this?
Those present are not fools.

This small farmer can know so clearly, it must not be an ordinary person, you know, he knows a lot including crops, the situation of men and women, and various data.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

However, the agricultural official said that such officials are everywhere.

How scary is that?
Not to mention everything like this, even half of such abilities should not be underestimated. There are so many basic officials in Yanyun, how can ordinary people not develop well?
Song Huizong was quite emotional,
Especially the Minister of the Ministry of Industry at the moment, after hearing the information from this little official, he was also a little dumbfounded.

Song Huizong also gave him a meaningful look, do you know why?

Because Song Huizong once asked him about the situation of the Song Dynasty, however, the data was very vague, and some of them could not even be answered.

Such an answer is not as good as Yanyun's small farmer.

He quickly lowered his head.

At this moment, Song Huizong thought about it, because all the data were just one-sided words of the agricultural officials, so Song Huizong said with a smile: "The Yanyun you said is so good, if I ask someone casually, the situation is not true, you This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! It is still too late for you to repent."

Song Huizong said it with a smile, and the farm official said: "Your Majesty, the villain is telling the truth and dare not lie. Yanyun's current situation is like this."

"Well! That's fine, I'm looking for someone to ask about the situation."

Song Huizong nodded, walked out, and looked outside everywhere.

Song Huizong saw an old man among some common people in the distance. This old man was walking with a cane in his hand, and he was walking tremblingly. Although he was old, his face was still very good. Talking and laughing.

He also carried a vegetable basket on his back, which contained some leaves, but this was not something for people to eat, but because he raised some livestock in his family for the animals to eat.

At this time, Song Huizong walked over: "This old man, I would like to ask, how is your family's harvest this year?"

Hearing someone speak, he turned his head for a moment.

"What... what is it?"

Hearing this, the old man turned his head with a smile.He pricked up his ears, as if he couldn't hear.

Song Huizong: "This year's harvest, harvest!"

Song Huizong repeated it.

The old man: "What? What are you harvesting? What is it... Oh, you mean this year's harvest?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

The old man smiled all over his face: "Speaking of this year's harvest, alas, our family's harvest this year is really good!"

"My family's food this year has already filled the warehouse!"

"In the past, the food in our family could sustain the whole family, and it was only half-full. Now my family has too much food to eat. My pigs eat food every day. Now they are picky eaters and need to eat something else. , so I went to get some vegetable leaves for my pigs to eat."

"Hey, before this, I was envious of people who have money and food, but now we don't envy them anymore, we have a lot of them at home! It's really good, good!"

The old man was very happy.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "Old man, you are living a good life now!"

Old man: "What? Son? Yes, yes, yes, I have a son. In the past, my son was poor and could not afford food. My son could only work outside and didn't make much money. Now we have a farm at home, and my son is busy every day. , The harvest is good this year, and I have sold some grain, and my family has become richer, and opened a factory by the way, I am thinking about saving some money for my son to be a wife in a year or two."

Song Huizong nodded: "That's very good! Now life is rich, but it was hard for you in the past!"

Old man: "Before? Hey, don't mention it. In the past, there was some kind of prince here who knew how to squeeze us. After a while, he would come to collect our food. They took all the little that my family saved. Only Leave a little food to survive starvation, life is really too hard!"

"Speaking of this group of people, what a bunch of bastards! Fortunately, they have been executed!"

"Now we have everything under the management of the military minister, and the fertile land is distributed fairly, so no noble can oppress us."

"Mr. Wu's new law is being tried in Yanyun. If you don't have money, you can still borrow money. Part of the food you grow is handed over. Much of the rest is our own. It's much better than before! Hey, we didn't expect to be able to live well. Such a day!"

"Speaking of which, this new law is good. Our Majesty of the Song Dynasty really employs people on their merits. I heard that Wu Xiang was selected by his majesty. This vision of knowing people is really amazing! Without Wu Xiang, how can we live in this life? ah!"

Hearing this, Song Huizong was shocked.

I just feel that the pores of my body are all open, which is extremely comfortable.

He likes to hear people say he is good.

These people have to be not ministers, but the people of the world.

Only when the people say that he is good is he really good.

Song Huizong laughed, Longyan was very happy.

The old man smiled and said, "This one looks strange, isn't he from our village? Oh, I see, you must be from other places, right? I heard that we are treated well here, so you want to come here?"

"Ahem... this is the current official!"

Cai Jing next to him hurriedly said, for fear that the old man would say something disrespectful.

"Officer? Can't tell you're still an official? Well...the clothes are unusual. What kind of official are you? How old are you?"

The old man said curiously at the end.

Cai Jing: "This is the current official family, it is Your Majesty, so presumptuous!"

"Hey, Master Cai, don't be rude!"

Song Huizong glared at Cai Jing.

The old man heard it clearly at last, and looked around at the people around him. His eyesight is not very good, so he took a closer look at this moment, good guy, there are so many luxuriously dressed people. Knowing that today's official family is actually here, it is still in front of us.

The old man hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the little one didn't know it was His Majesty, how offended you are..."

Song Huizong said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, old man, get up, by the way, what happened to the factory you just mentioned?"
