Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

"How else can I say it?" Nangong Xue seemed quite proud, "I can't go by myself, so why don't I leave you here?"

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, but said nothing.

"I also told him my suggestion. He said that he would send guards to protect us, and he also said that it is best to do things in the name of the government, so that no one dares to mess with it."

Liu Ruyi stirred it gently with a spoon, and said softly, "When will it work? The sisters are here all day, and I can see that everyone is actually not in a good mood."

"That's right," Nangongxue said, "It's precisely because I knew about this situation that I was anxious. Everyone is not that kind of bird in a cage, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

"I'm feeling patronized, you haven't answered my question yet."

"He said it will take some time until the situation stabilizes. You don't know what he has done recently."

Nangongxue chit chatted, and shared with Liu Ruyi what she said to Zhou Jinyan just now, of course adding fuel and vinegar, and chatting for self-interest, so there is no need to express it.

Besides, after listening to Zhou Jinyan's words, the parrot over there quickly gave a good solution.

"Just put a few apples. The smell from the apples can effectively prevent the potatoes from sprouting."

"this is not OK."

Zhou Jinyan shook his head, "It's too troublesome, by the way, how did the apple hinder the germination? What kind of smell does it emit?"

"Ethylene gas." The parrot said: "So you buy ethylene from the mall, and when the potatoes are ripe, just spray them like spraying medicine."

The parrot chirped and said a lot. The whole bird, like an encyclopedia, stunned Zhou Jinyan.

"How do you know so much?"

"Who am I?" The parrot tried to widen its small eyes, "I am the king of birds, and it is easy to become the king of people. Why do you think I am so powerful?"

Zhou Jinyan touched his nose, this bird feather is used to bragging, just ignore it.

It's just that I didn't expect potatoes to be like this. If I can achieve this, then I can grow it on a large scale and sell it on a large scale.

And it's exclusive.

Not only that, but it can also be sold to other places, the five counties of Yazhou, it is difficult to think about whether they are rich or not.

When the potatoes are ripe, they can be stored in the cellar at a normal temperature for a year or two without any problems. Zhou Jinyan suddenly felt that potatoes are really a wonderful thing.

However, if the potatoes are dried in the sun, it is difficult to preserve them for such a long time.

At the moment, he cut the potatoes into slices and dried them in the sun.

As a result, the parrot did not disappoint him. The method given was to put some sugar cubes, because the sugar cubes can absorb moisture.

After ink staining for a long time, Zhou Jinyan bid farewell to the parrot and returned to the study.

He searched in the shopping mall, and found something similar to vinyl potion. After a glance, it showed that this thing was not only easy to use, but also something beyond the times, not even the modern ones in his memory.

Can't help but let him sigh with emotion.

The next day, Zhou Jinyan continued to deal with official duties.

At this time, Haiza told him that someone outside asked to see him.

"Who?"

Zhou Jinyan looked up.

"It's a cow, don't drive."

"Let him in now."

Niu Feng quickly walked in with a tall and thin man.

"Niu Feng met Governor Zhou."

"Excuse me," Zhou Jinyan said with a smile, "This is the friend you mentioned?"

The man looked older than Niu Feng, with vicissitudes visible to the naked eye in his eyes.

Niu Feng looked at the man, the man lowered his head and said softly: "Wei Fu, a grass-roots man, pay homage to Governor Zhou."

"Exemption."

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "I've heard about you, and I don't want to talk nonsense. I have full control over the situation in Yazhou. Now there is a shortage of officials everywhere. Where do you think you can sit with your talent?"

Niu Feng was startled, looked at Zhou Jinyan silently, and lowered his head.

Wei Fu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "The grassroots are willing to start from the bottom and climb up step by step based on their own abilities."

Zhou Jinyan couldn't stop laughing, which made Wei Fu quite unhappy.

Niu Feng also shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wei, even if you climb to the top of the sky, you are still just a small official. Where can we climb in the backcountry?"

Wei Fu sighed heavily, "Then give me a county magistrate, I think that with my talent, I can still be a county magistrate."

Zhou Jinyan shook his head and said: "You can't be a county magistrate, and you have to be talented to be an official. There are many talented people in this world. Are they all suitable to be an official? I don't think so. I will be an official under my rule. It is ability, which is related to talent, but higher than talent."

Zhou Jinyan looked at him, and said lightly, "Wei Fu, I hope you can figure this out."

After chatting for a few words, Zhou Jinyan got to know this person a little bit, and he was also a person who was proud of his talent before thinking about it.

Talented people, he naturally wants to use them, but whether they have the ability is another matter.

"Caomin understands, but I am confident that I should still have this ability."

"very good."

Chapter 561 Assessment

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said: "I don't know exactly what your ability is. We are now in half a year, and our political achievements have seen the truth. You are temporarily acting as the county magistrate. After half a year, if you can, you will become a regular. Don't dislike the official, I I can only give you such a big official position."

"Thank you Governor Zhou."

I couldn't see Wei Fu's expression, and Zhou Jinyan didn't care.

"One thing you have to be clear about is that you must obey my orders." Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Jinyan said again: "Of course, if I am cheating and cheating, you can disobey the people, and I will not Punish you half a point."

Wei Fu didn't seem to expect Zhou Jinyan to say that, he just froze for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "In fact, the whole world is the same. These officials, big and small, in Yazhou, can't they use it? Yes. Why don't I use it? I hope you understand this first."

"Of course, my goal is also very simple. To build Yazhou into the richest place in Jiannan Road, so that [-] households in Yazhou can eat and drink well. This is my goal."

"You go back, you can take office when you think about it, if you don't think it's okay, I can appoint someone else."

He appreciates talented and capable people, but he does not accept the old-fashioned.

He actually didn't like Wei Fu very much.

Feeling a bit stubborn.

Niu Feng tugged at Wei Fu, and Wei Fu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Governor Zhou, I am willing to try."

"very good."

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "You can go to Lushan County. Except for those in charge of public security, you can appoint and remove any officials who are vacant in other positions."

Wei Fu was stunned again, and it was Niu Feng who thanked him on his behalf before he realized it.

Being dragged out of the Governor's Mansion by Niu Feng, Wei Fu widened his eyes and said, "It's that simple?"

Niu Feng scolded with a smile: "Simple? Judging by your performance just now, a different person would have brushed you off."

Wei Fu didn't take it seriously and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now, how can I appoint and remove officials, big and small? Why?"

"Because he is Zhou Jinyan!"

Niu Feng Fuxu smiled and said: "He is Zhou's son-in-law, the Holy Majesty personally authorized it that day, why do you say so?"

"Then I can find some of my friends to try?" Wei Fu was still a little puzzled.

"There is nothing wrong with it," Niu Feng said, "but Governor Zhou also said that the political performance will be inspected at that time. If it doesn't work, you and your team will have to leave."

Wei Fu laughed loudly, and then bowed deeply, "Brother Niu's kindness, I, Wei, am very grateful."

"You and my friend, why do you need to talk?"

Niu Feng hurriedly pulled him up, and said with a smile: "If I didn't know your talent, why would I do this? You deserve it."

Wei Fu said with emotion: "This week, the son-in-law is young enough to be the governor. Thinking of what he said to me just now, it is really convincing. Besides, this Lushan County is my hometown, I will definitely It can be managed well."

Niu Feng patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.

Zhou Jinyan's appointment of Wei Fu, a poor family, as county magistrate quickly spread wildly in Yazhou.

People in Yazhou are talking about it, and many people who want to be officials are stupid, ready to move, especially when they know that officials can recommend themselves.

But how could the governor's mansion be entered at will, so Zhou Jinyan issued an order to seek talents after a few days.

The quota is the official position of the three county magistrates.

Including his Yandao County.

Yan Dao County was originally led by himself, but the matter of becoming an official has really given him a headache recently.

After discussing with Li Mengjiang, Li Lizhi and others, I felt that it would be better to find another county magistrate for him to drive, and he would be the commander behind the scenes, the governor of Yazhou.

As soon as the news spread, the whole Yazhou became lively.

What's more, the news spread to other places, and many people from other places who thought they were capable also rushed to Yandao County, hoping to get themselves a job as an official.

This is simpler than the imperial examination, and it's all about lip service to make the governor happy.

Many people think so, so there are indeed a lot of people here.

Zhou Jinyan didn't expect that there would be so many people, and after he randomly selected a few people, he immediately changed the rules.

Only Yazhou people are allowed to stand for election, and local officials can only be local officials.

The number of people went to half immediately.

Many people hate that they are not from these three counties.

Zhou Jinyan also acted helplessly, but for the sake of long-term development, he still decided to hire local people.

Governor's House.

"How many more?"

Sheng Lian'er replied: "According to the enumeration just now, 320 people signed up in Yandao County; 450 five people signed up in Mingshan County; the remaining Baizhang County has a little less, but there are also 270 people signed up."

"Tsk tsk, there are more than 1000 people here." Zhou Jinyan said rather speechlessly: "Look at how thick-skinned they are, and look at my group of men, everyone is so cowardly."

Sheng Lian'er covered her lips and chuckled.

"There are too many people, let's take the exam first." Zhou Jinyan ordered, "Let Bie Jia, Chang Shi, and Sima each be in charge of a place, and the top [-] in each place will be evaluated and selected by me at the end."

Sheng Lian'er nodded and passed on the news.

Bie Jia, Chang Shi, and Sima from Yazhou were somewhat surprised when they received the order. They were all idlers, and it was fine to do this, but they were somewhat astonished at Zhou Jinyan's courage to assess and appoint officials by himself.

This kind of grand exam is the first time in Yazhou.

Although it caused dissatisfaction among many people who thought they were capable but had little knowledge, the exam was still going on as scheduled.

Zhou Jinyan also wanted to find someone with outstanding abilities, but when there were too many people, this was the only way to go.

At least in this way, useful talents can be quickly screened out.Even if the quality isn't that great.

There are quite a lot of people, and Zhou Jinyan is not interested in taking exams and grading papers.

But there were too many people, so in the end, Li Lizhi, Li Mengjiang, Liu Ruyi, Nangongxue, and some big and small stars, everyone who could read were called to review the papers.

The test papers are all the same, with specific answer ranges.

Originally, Bie Jia, Chang Shi, and Sima were not satisfied with seeing so many women, but then they took the selected test papers and compared them with the eliminated ones, and they suddenly had nothing to say.

After dinner this morning, Li Lizhi, Li Mengjiang, and Du Yanran came hand in hand to watch how Zhou Jinyan selected these officials.

Several people were chatting, Li Mengjiang said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would be grading papers one day, not to mention anything else, this grading paper is quite interesting."

"Yes." Li Lizhi said in approval.

"You didn't see those big and small stars in the mansion, but you are so happy."

Du Yanran said: "But this group of people is really powerful, they know everything, it's rare."

"It's a pity, Mr. Master, they can't be either, otherwise it would be good to let them be."
