Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao nodded again and again and gave her a thumbs up.

The wontons were quickly brought up, a big bowl, and the fat wontons filled a large bowl, Chang Yu said: "His family's noodles are not as good as the one outside the imperial city, but his family's stuffing is well prepared. And a lot, the size of a wonton."

Man Bao nodded again and again, and after taking a sip, she said, "We passed by Xiazhou before, and found that the wontons there are eaten on a plate, so they don't call them wontons, they call them dumplings, and they eat them with vinegar. , I think it's pretty good."

"Really?" Chang Yu said, "I'll try it when I look back."

When the group of them finished eating the wontons, there were not many people in the booth, and everyone just sat and didn't move, watching the people coming and going on the street while sitting and talking.

Wei Yu sighed, "Guotai and the people are safe."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Min'an can only be Cathay Pacific."

But he couldn't help but think of the arguments of the adults in the small court meeting in the past few days, as well as the emperor's various worries in private.

This Guotai Civil Security is still very weak, with too much time and too many hidden dangers.

Bai Shan's thumb couldn't help turning on the knuckle of his index finger, and he lowered his eyes to think.

When returning home, Man Bao couldn't help turning her head to look at him, and when she was about to get home, she couldn't help reaching out and holding his hand.

Bai Shan looked down at her.

Man Bao asked, "What happened to you?"

Bai Shan shook his head, "It's okay."

"After eating wontons, you are unusually silent, and you don't seem to be in a good mood."

Bai Shan held her hand tightly, took a few steps forward before slowly stopping, he paused and said, "Manbao, I didn't understand until today why Brother Yang came out of the Hanlin Academy. He rejected the invitation of Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Human Resources, and instead directly elected Luojiang County, a lower county, to be the magistrate."

Man Bao looked at him silently.

Bai Shandao said: "Although Dajin is young, the accusations are not light. His Majesty is wise and generous, and willing to give advice. That's why there is now Guotai and Minan, but there are still many, many problems under this prosperity."

"I admit that I have read poetry and books, including those unofficial stories you brought out. I have imagined in my heart more than once how prosperous and prosperous the Jin Dynasty will be in the future." Bai Shan raised his head and looked forward. In front of him was a wide avenue. Not far away is the gate of Zhou's house, and further down the tall and long wall is the Du's house.

"However, how confident I was in the past, how hesitant I am now." He said: "In the past three months, the Dajin I saw was very different from the Dajin I thought before. Yingming is strong and powerful. For example, Your Majesty, wise and just like Lord Wei, and mentally tough like Lord Tang, they have to be cautious and give way before many things."

He said, "I used to take it for granted."

Man Bao listened quietly.

Bai Shan squeezed her hand tightly, then released it, but in the end he couldn't help clenching her hand tightly, he said: "I have no way, at least now I really can't think of a way to solve these things perfectly, as powerful as your majesty, he You have to tremble and make careful calculations, not to mention me waiting?"

What could be behind him?

At any time, he will abandon his fourth or fifth-class small family Bai clan, and then he is from a common family, and he is still walking on thin ice.

Maybe add a prince.

But if even the emperor has to be careful to deal with the situation, plus a prince, how much weight can it increase?

So it's still a matter of method.

Like the emperor, Bai Shan did not want to use violence to solve these problems. Because of violence, the people who were hurt the most in the end must be the people.

Although it is said that prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer. But the dead people will suffer even more.

Bai Shandao: "Staying in the capital, I can't find a solution, I want to go out."

Man Bao was surprised, "Are you going to release it now?"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "I think next year's job debriefing opportunity will apply for an external assignment, and I'll start with a county parent official."

Is that delegating?

Man Bao tilted his head to look at him.

Bai Shan sighed and said, "You've also thought about it, that is, I'm demoted and released, but I still want to start as a parent official in a county."

He said: "I now know why Brother Yang insists on releasing local officials. There is no solution in the capital, so I can only find it locally."

Man Bao probably understood what he meant, and said to him, "Go, I support you."

Hearing this, Bai Shan exhaled, took her hand and said, "If we can't put it out in one place..."

Man Bao said: "I will miss you."

Bai Shan: It seems that he was not comforted.

He squeezed Manbao's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Man Bao looked left and right, and while Daji and Xibing were not paying attention, he stood up on tiptoe and kissed his face, whispering, "I really miss you."

Bai Shan felt as if he had eaten honey, and then a sour feeling appeared in his heart. He whispered, "I will miss you too."

Daji behind him: ...It's like they're going to separate tomorrow.

The two went home holding hands. Bai Shan thought about it for a long time, and still wrote a letter to Yang He. He felt that he should tell Yang Heshu about this matter and ask him for his opinion.

When the letter was delivered to Xiazhou, the officials from the Censor's Desk in Qizhou and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment also returned to the capital, bringing back a large number of account books and land books, all of which were sold by the governor of Qizhou over the past eight years. land flow.

The emperor only met Qizhou prefect once, and then did not want to see him again, but met with Zheng patriarch twice.

After the two-pronged conspiracy of the emperor and the court, the result of the deal came out quickly.

The prefect of Qizhou was dismissed from office for dereliction of duty, and a large number of public land transactions sold during his tenure were cancelled. The emperor reclaimed the land at the original price regardless of the number of moves in the middle or how much the buyer paid for the last move. .

The cancelled transaction was determined after careful investigation and calculation by the Censor Desk, the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Households. They can be sure that no one is innocent.

This announcement will not only be posted on the city wall of Qizhou and the bulletin board outside the governor's house, but also on the bulletin board of Dali Temple in the capital, and a copy will be sent to each family.

Just when the parties were out of anger and planned to violently resist the law, the Zheng family returned the land without paying a penny, and signed a confession of guilt, indicating that the land was bought by a steward in the family. When I bought it at the time, I said that the land was cheap, but I didn't know that there was another secret behind it. Zheng Shi inadvertently set a bad example for Da Jin. I really felt guilty.

Anyway, the ten hectares of land was returned to the prefect of Qizhou.

Then the emperor, out of favoritism, directly allocated this piece of land to the Ministry of Household, where there was a shortage of jobs and fields.

Wei Zhi and other ministers opened their eyes and closed their eyes as they did not know.

When the other families saw it, they hesitated for a while, and then the Ministry of Punishment and the local county government came to the door with copper coins to redeem the land...

Some people handed it over silently, but some people just closed the door and didn't see it, saying that they were not at home.

This period is very sensitive. The spring ploughing has ended, the crops in the fields have already grown, and the wheat has turned yellow. It will not take long to harvest. At this time, when the land is redeemed, even the tenants below do not agree.

Even though the court has made it clear that this year's land harvest still belongs to them, and the court will only buy it first and then formally take over it after the autumn, the tenants are still encouraged to make noise.

See you tomorrow
