An alpha's ancient life record

After the new year, the two didn't have any relatives or friends in Yueshui County, only a few officials came to visit, and it was rare to have a few days of happy life.

The land reclamation work was on the right track, and Shen Qingshu didn't have to go there so frequently. After February, the county examination became the most important job.

Nearly ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and she can hardly remember what happened when she took the reference. She only remembers that she got the grade of the county's first case.

Now she has also become an examiner who affects the fate of others. The county examination is completely presided over by the county magistrate, with great power, and she alone decides the time, examination questions, and marking papers.

Shen Qingshu set the exam time at the end of February, which will be a little warmer than the beginning of the month.

Now that Yueshui County has money, she also ordered people to repair the test shed, trying to create a good test environment.

She still remembered the jokes of the former seniors and the fact that the country was not poor, why the examination sheds were always dilapidated, and she replied that the officials who had already passed the Jinshi examination felt aggrieved, and hoped that the newcomers would also suffer what they had suffered.

It has to be said that there is some truth in saying this. When Shen Qingshu inspected the examination room, seeing that the environment was far better than his original environment, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

She has been an examinee for so many times, but it was the first time for her to be an examiner. When the day of the exam started, Shen Qingshu swaggered into the arena, and no one came to search her body anymore.

There were four exams this time, and Shen Qingshu didn't make it difficult for these students when he came up with the questions. He didn't bother with any new question types, just the common Moyi Tiejing, with moderate difficulty.

After everything was searched and entered the arena, Shen Qingshu silently calculated that Yueshui County's style of writing was very good, and the number of students for reference was nearly one-third less than her original one.

After paying homage to Confucius first, Shen Qingshu re-read the discipline of the examination room, and the examinees went to the middle hall to collect their test papers one by one.

At this time, Shen Qingshu can leave. After all, the county magistrate is very busy managing the affairs of a place, so there is no need to keep guarding it.

In addition, the county examination is only the first level of the imperial examination, and there is no benefit if you pass the examination. The county magistrate is fully responsible, and there is no way to prevent fraud.

Before Shen Qingshu left, she went around. There were old and young candidates among the candidates. She found that the mentality of the young people seemed to be better. Some candidates had just walked in front of them and hadn't read the papers yet. The hand that held the pen began to tremble. She was so scared that she hurried away.

After the four exams, Shen Qingshu was basically responsible for grading the papers. In the entire Yueshui County, she was undoubtedly the person with the highest education.

Apart from dealing with official duties, she finished reading in two days. It was not difficult to grade the papers at all. Most of the blank papers were discarded directly, and she could tell at a glance if the questions were written silently.

After picking and choosing, in the end Shen Qingshu managed to gather twenty people. It can be said that as long as he puts in the hard work and endorses the exams, there is no one who will fail the exam.

The head of the county case was a 16-year-old young man. After the list was published, Shen Qingshu called him to give advice out of pity for his talent.

After all, she was also a biography, and the young man's words were like a snake and a stick, revealing the meaning of apprenticeship, Shen Qingshu turned away with a smile, and his impression of him dropped a bit.

She has no idea of ​​accepting apprentices yet, one is that she is not a few years older than herself, and the other is that she has too much to do with accepting apprentices.

At this time, the master-student relationship is very close, one prospers and one loses. Of course, those who open private schools like Mr. Zheng are not counted. The disciples who really enter the school are almost equivalent to half a son. In terms of inheriting political prestige , even more so than his son.

Shen Qingshu also thought about it, when she gets older, maybe she will take in a disciple, preferably a junior junior, a gifted child who learns by analogy, works hard, is conscious and well-behaved.

This kind of disciple is hard to come by, so she thinks it's just a matter of chance, and it's fine if you don't find it.

After the county test, not long after, the wasteland was finally completed, and the Yueshui slowly spread along the canal, irrigating the flat farmland.

"Oh——" the working people all cheered. They threw away their agricultural tools and shouted with people they knew or didn't know. Some of them stood still and even shed tears.

In the past five months, everyone worked hard. In the winter, their hands were purple from the cold, their feet were white and cracked, their backs ached every day, and they fell asleep when they were tired. Isn't it just to have their own land?

After a whole winter, the method of raising chickens with earthworms promoted by Shen Qingshu has achieved obvious results. The chickens grow fat and fast. Those who didn't believe it at the time regretted it very much and quickly followed up with raising earthworms.

Shen Qingshu's prestige among the common people also became higher and higher. Everyone believed that Mr. Shen would not tell lies, and that he really wanted to divide the land if he said it was going to be divided.

Shen Qingshu didn't want to let them down, as things would change later, she had already made a plan before, and after the completion, she refused several landlords' request to see her, and quickly divided up the land.

If you hurry up, you can still catch up with this year's spring plowing and harvest one more season.

It's funny to say that no one cared about the rotten land before. When Shen Qingshu issued the reclamation notice, no one jumped out to claim it. When the reclamation was over, someone suddenly came to the door, holding the land deed many years ago, saying that the land was his House's.

I'm afraid everyone thinks that she has too good a temper. For this kind of thing, Shen Qingshu doesn't even see her, and all of them are thrown out, and those who dare to go to the field to make trouble, are directly arrested and eaten in prison for a few days, and they are all honest.

The common people who have worked for more than three months will be allocated four acres of land. For those who have not worked full, Shen Qingshu also stipulates that the equivalent number of days will be divided less, or four acres will be allocated first, and the number of days will be made up in the subsequent road construction project. yes.

Some of the common people were dubious and joined relatively late, so naturally most of them chose the latter.

After satisfying the working people, Shen Qingshu sold the remaining small part of the land at the market price. He made various restrictions as much as possible, and gave priority to selling to self-cultivating farmers.

These incomes returned part of the funds, and Shen Qingshu added another part from the treasury, which was used to "lend loans" to farmers.

During the lean season, there is not much grain left from last year's harvest, and the new season of cultivation is about to start. Farmers have to tighten their belts, and sometimes they have to borrow money to survive.

As for private usury, nine out of nine and thirteen returns are already considered very kind. Farmers have worked hard for a year, but most of their income has been seized by usury, and they have to borrow again in the second year. He borrowed more and more, and eventually failed to pay, and became a tenant farmer or domestic slave of a big family.

The ancient rulers also tried state borrowing, but when the policy reached the local level, the specific implementation was always out of shape. Anyway, Shen Qingshu was in a county, so she could do it as she wanted.

She distributes the money in the form of small loans, which are only lent to farmers, and the annual interest rate is temporarily 5.00% to try it out. It does not make money and is only used to make up for bad debts.

As soon as this news came out, the wealthy loan sharks in the city were stunned. In their view, such a low interest rate was equivalent to giving away money for nothing.

They observed for a few days and found that the county government really did this, and the farmers actually believed it and dared to go to the county government to borrow money.

A group of rich men gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The so-called cutting off people’s wealth is like killing their parents. Still in a hurry with you.

The loan clerks also did not dare to collect money to make trouble. The county magistrate is very good at calculating, and he will keep an eye on them personally, and he will find out any problems with the accounts at a glance.

Want to impeach her, but there is nothing to impeach. A group of officials who can be reached by rich locals dare not frame her at all, otherwise Dali Temple is really a vegetarian.

Not on the surface, but in the dark, the water bandits entrenched on Yueshui were wiped out, making it infinitely more difficult to create accidents.

Looking for someone to assassinate, and I heard that this lord is skilled in riding and archery, ordinary people can't do anything to her, and no one really dares to assassinate the imperial court official, you push me, I push you, no one wants to take responsibility.

What, you said that Madam is easy to kidnap, and the policy of kidnapping her will not be cancelled. If you threaten to cancel it, then whoever kidnapped the person will not call themselves?

After discussing and discussing, the group of people did not come up with any good solution. They could only intimidate the farmers who owed debts, and then find some second-rate people to borrow money, which is nothing more than adding trouble to the county government.

Shen Qingshu was also prepared, waiting for them to make a move, but these people were so good at it, the move they came up with was like being bitten by a mosquito.

She also felt flattered by the people calling her "Shen Qingtian" these days, she just did these things for the sake of the trend.

The sugar cane is planted by the common people, the sugar is squeezed out by them, and the money for selling the sugar is their surplus value. Those fertile fields were reclaimed by everyone sweating. She didn’t dig a hoe, but in the end, all the credit , It was attributed to her alone.

Working people create all the value, and most of it is stolen, so that when they share the income of their labor, they take it for granted and feel grateful.

With such love, she can only work harder.

-

Time flies like water, and it is two years in a blink of an eye.

After being on duty, Shen Qingshu went to pick up people as usual. Two years later, the Guo family girl was married, and Lin Weizhi's painting club also changed two students.

On the way back to the county government office, all the old and young greeted them with a smile. In the entire Yueshui County, almost no one knew this approachable county magistrate, and even the neighboring counties had heard of it, let alone on the road she often walked. .

In the past two years, Yueshui County has widened the official roads and opened a wharf. The goods in the county are sold, and the goods from outside are also continuously brought in. The county is becoming more and more prosperous, and the days are getting better and better. Everyone knows this change. who brought it.

Compared with the enthusiasm in the past, everyone is now very restrained. The three-year term is coming to an end, and everyone hopes that she will continue to serve.

Walking through this street, Lin Weizhi sighed, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, Mr. Shen, there are no girls throwing handkerchiefs at you now."

"You're here again," Shen Qingshu smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Isn't it just those few times I failed to avoid it? If I really pick it up, I don't know where the little jar of jealousy will be overturned again."

Lin Weizhi turned her head and snorted softly, "I don't care."

Shen Qingshu smiled, not daring to say that she didn't mean what she said, so she clasped her hands a little tighter.

Before he reached the gate of the county government office, the bearer had already greeted him with an anxious expression on his face.

He has been married to Sheng Han for the past two years, he is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and he has become more and more stable. When Shen Qingshu saw his expression, he had an ominous premonition. He frowned unconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "What happened?"

The saddle didn't have time to hesitate, and spoke very fast: "Young master, the message from the mansion just now said that the old lady is dying, and you are asked to return to Beijing immediately, and maybe we can see each other for the last time."

The author has something to say: escape with the lid on the pot.
