Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Royal caravan, I trust you very much."

"However, the people in Wuling County also have to live. I wonder how long it will take for Boss Li to collect the money?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Ten days."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

Ten days is still a long time.

But time waits for no one, hungry people wait for no one, and rumors wait for no one.

I urgently need to transport the grain back to Chang'an City, and then break the rumors and solve the problem of guilt.

"Okay, then ten days."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

There is not much difference between eight days and ten days.

Next, Fang Yuan transferred the carriage and took the caravan representatives back to the guest house to rest.

As soon as Li Shimin returned to the room, he asked Du Ruhui to give an order to send people back to Chang'an City to withdraw money in eight hundred miles.

"Your Majesty, Fang Yuan's information has been found."

After Du Ruhui went out to deliver the news, he also brought back good news.

The information that was investigated by people last night has the results now, but it has only been one day, and not much has been found.

"Show me quickly."

Li Shimin was overjoyed and couldn't wait to read it.

[Fang Yuan, 24 years old, native place unknown, suspected to be a refugee, was recommended by someone seven years ago to become the former director of Wuling County Zhao Caiying. At that time, the population of Wuling County was 5324.

At that time, Zhao Caiying in Wuling County followed Fang Yuan's policy of benefiting the people, pretending to be a bandit and robbing the property of the local gentry, and used it to build roads, brothels, and clubs, and called on the people of Wuling County to engage in various industries and put service first.

In the past two years, Wuling County has changed a lot. Refugees came, the government allocated land, and the number of people broke through the [-] mark. Wuling County is famous for its services, attracting the surrounding people and merchants to come to consume. The economy has improved. Zhao Caiying's term of office has ended. .

Before leaving, Zhao Caiying recommended Fang Yuan as the magistrate of Wuling County with his official position as a guarantee, and the Ministry of Officials approved it.

When Fang Yuan took office, he implemented the government-private business policy. All the people in Wuling County can do business on their own, and they will still be farmers without changing their native place. Any business will be supported by the government. Any policy must not suppress business operations. bed etc.

There are uncertain rumors: Fang Yuan left the county without authorization many times, went to various places to beg caravans to enter Wuling County to do business, and ensured that the caravans do business in Wuling County with very preferential policies.

There are even more uncertain rumors: each industry in Wuling County has [-]% to [-]% of Fang Yuan's shares, that is to say, [-]% to [-]% of the profits of each industry should be distributed to Fang Yuan, which is called a protective umbrella by the people of Wuling County.

In three years, the population of Wuling County rose to 1000, and many new industries sprung up like mushrooms. People from the Ministry of Officials came to assess, and it was determined that Fang Yuan would be transferred to the next county to serve as the county magistrate. five years.

Afterwards, Wuling County developed into a period of rapid development. The grain yield per mu was as high as 3 shi. The people live and work in peace and contentment. 】

This is a brief profile.

But after reading this material, Li Shimin was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He probably knew Fang Yuan's information from the information, but he didn't know how to define Fang Yuan for a while.

talent?

Indeed, in just a few years, a small county has been built into a county with 8 people.

Corrupt officials?

Indeed, it is rumored that each industry has [-] to [-]% of his profits, and it is also called an umbrella.

"Your Majesty, do you want the Ministry of Justice to come and investigate Fang Yuan?"

Du Ruhui also finished reading the materials.

While being shocked and admired in his heart, he secretly sighed that Fang Yuan was really brave.

As a county magistrate, he is not allowed to leave the county he governs without any reason, and he is not allowed to collect protection fees for local people.

Not only did Fang Yuan do everything, but he also colluded with the officials of the Ministry of Officials, traded power for money to change the term of office, flouted the national policy, the most taboo among the taboos.

Chapter 11 Can't Tell You

"Keming, you've been with me the longest, and you know that I'm the only one here."

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled lightly.

From the king of Qin to the emperor, in addition to relying on his own excellence, there are also eclectic talents.

Fang Yuan did have many problems, but looking at the Tang Dynasty, who can achieve such an achievement like Fang Yuan?

It took only two years for the chief secretary and five years for the county magistrate to transform Wuling County from a small and barren county in the south to the number one county in the south, which is unique.

Moreover, Fang Yuan is his virtuous minister Ying Meng!

Since he is a virtuous minister of Yingmeng, he can not only help him solve the problem of sin against himself.

It has only been two years since the Xuanwu Sect's change, and the throne has not yet been firmly established, so he desperately needs a courtier like Fang Yuan.

If the people can live a happy life, there will be no opposition forces that can incite them to rebel.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Du Ruhui saluted respectfully.

He understood that Li Shimin did not pursue Fang Yuan's problem.

In fact, if he were to decide how to deal with Fang Yuan, he would not pursue it.

Such a talent, with a little tempering of his temperament, will definitely be an important helper in political struggles in the future.

"Continue to investigate Fang Yuan's information, especially his origin."

Li Shimin ordered.

This information was found in one day.

Fang Yuan has been in Wuling County for seven years, how could he find all the information in one day.

And it was suspected to be a refugee here, he wanted to know where Fang Yuan was from before he became a refugee.

"Ok!"

Du Ruhui's respectful voice should be yes.

He was notifying when there was no one at night.

Li Shimin nodded, poured a cup of oolong tea and drank it, closed his eyes and savored its sweetness.

"Keming, why do you think the tea in Wuling County makes people linger so much?"

Li Shimin exclaimed.

The tea in Chang'an City tastes bitter and unpalatable.

Except for sacrificial use, almost no one usually drinks it.

However, the tea in Wuling County has endless aftertaste, as if opening up a new world.

"Just ask Fang Yuan and you will know?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and smiled.

He is also curious, he also wants to know.

And soft mattresses, hot water pipes, roads... and toilets, he wondered too.

Thinking of the toilet, Du Ruhui felt nauseated.

"I'm tired today, take a day off, and let him take us around Wuling County by the way tomorrow."

Li Shimin drank another cup of tea.

I walked too much to visit the fertile fields today, and I was a little tired.

Not only tea, Li Shimin also wants to visit Wuling County to see the difference of Wuling County.

I don't know if I drank too much tea, but I suddenly felt the urge to urinate, and subconsciously looked towards the toilet. Suddenly, Li Shimin also felt nauseous.

"Then I'll let someone bring a message to Fang Yuan."

Du Ruhui said humbly.

Let someone tell Fang Yuan the time in advance, so as not to have other arrangements tomorrow.

I have ordered so much food here, before paying the money, Fang Yuan will give some noodles anyway.

......

The next day, it was still time.

The waiter at the guest house knocked on the door of their room again.

"Two distinguished guests, the county lord's carriage has already stopped at the door."

After a while, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui went out one after another.

When they came to the door, they saw Fang Yuan's luxurious carriage from yesterday.

The curtain was opening, Fang Yuan crossed his legs inside, half lying down to read a book.

"Boss Li, Steward Du, please get in the car."

Fang Yuan threw the book aside and sat down.

"Master Fang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

Get into the car with the help of the groom.

Du Ruhui also followed and greeted Fang Yuan friendly.

"The two are rich men in my Wuling County, so how dare you say you're bothering me."

"This time we're going to South Street. South Street is a commercial street with everything."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Ask the groom to start from Wuling County South Street.

"Master Fang, why is the tea in your Wuling County different from that in other places?"

Li Shimin's first question was about tea.

When drinking tea, he felt a kind of calming effect, which could calm his mind.

For him who intensively corrects memorials and is often bothered by various things, drinking tea has a calming effect.

"Traditional tea is just plucked leaves from the tea tree and dried to make water, so that it is bitter and unpalatable."

"The tea in Wuling County is picked, withered, roasted, kneaded, kneaded, heaped, dried, pressed, etc., and finally used for soaking. Naturally, there is a big difference."

Fang Yuan explained.

Before time travel, Fang Yuan was a tea lover and knew a lot about making tea.

After crossing, there are still a lot of people who can be mobilized, and slowly figure out the process.

"It turns out there's such a big difference."

Li Shimin exclaimed.

No wonder the tea in Wuling County is so attractive. It turns out that there are so many processes.

I didn't expect such a delicious tea to be brewed from the leaves after a complicated process. It's amazing.

"And how is the soft mattress made?"

Du Ruhui continued to ask.

He was more concerned with the soft mattress.

I still want to buy a few when I go back.

"The production of soft mattresses is relatively complicated, and its core is springs, fillings, fabrics..."

Fang Yuan explained.

He only knows how to make mattresses.
