The Ming Dynasty started with caution

It was near noon, and the winter sun was bright.

Zhu Houzhao read the memorial of the Gu'an County Magistrate, threw it aside, and looked at the new companion: "Call Lao Gao."

Gu Dayong was still lying in Huimin Pharmacy.

I don't know if he can wake up in this life.

The little eunuch raised his eyes slightly, saw Zhu Houzhao was angry, and bowed his body and said: "Lord Yan didn't enter the palace today."

This dog official was lazy and derelict in his duty, and he didn't even call me.

Zhu Houzhao was happy, ordered someone to lead the horse, and in a blink of an eye he changed into a dandy boy's gorgeous clothes.

A blue sedan walked in the field, heading to Liangxiang Yamen, it seemed to take a shortcut instead of the official road.

"Lao Gao, I haven't bought new things in Liangxiang for a long time."

"..." Yan Chengjin.

I left the capital without telling anyone, and this guy followed me right after.

"This time, I came here to criticize Song Jing, always thinking that I would draw a blueprint for him."

Yan Chengjin's voice was a little fluctuating.

When we arrived at the College of Science, we heard the sound of reading aloud in the college. Engineers from Liangxiang were teaching in the classroom.

Looking at the numbers written on the ink board, it seemed that they were teaching mathematics.

"Your servant Zhang Xian..."

Just as Zhang Xian was about to return to the government office, he saw Zhu Houzhao riding on a black horse and bowed his hands to greet him.

Then, he bowed slightly to Yan Chengjin's sedan chair.

"Zhang Xian, I want to appoint you as the magistrate of Gu'an County. The people there all call me a dog emperor. You go and discipline them for me."

At first, Zhu Houzhao thought Zhang Xian was dull. Lao Gao said that Zhang Xian was my warrior.

Really.

Everyone in Liangxiang and Fangshan praised Zhang Xian, which was praising me.

"This, this is probably not good."

Zhang Xian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when he heard what Zhu Houzhao said.

Zhu Houzhao's smile turned unhappy. He thought Zhang Xian would be very excited when he heard it, and couldn't help but kneel down to thank him and spread his good name.

At this moment, Zhang Xian's face was bitter.

What does this mean?

"Zhang Xian is right. Let's change someone to the new emperor."

Yan Chengjin reached out and lowered the curtain of the sedan chair. Originally, Dayuan was the poorest in Shuntian Prefecture.

After Zhou Yu returned the occupied land, Gu'an became the poorest in Shuntian Prefecture, and the people denounced the emperor.

Gu'an was seriously involved in litigation, and the people flocked to the government office to file a complaint, and the county magistrate was miserable.

Gu'an is located at the junction of Shuntian Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture, which was Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

Since the Tang Dynasty, land annexation has been serious, and there are very few fields that the people can cultivate.

But Gu'an County has a unique resource...

Hot springs.

It is rumored that the temperature of the water outlet can boil a piece of fish skin alive.

But due to feudal ethics, gentry and common people would not lie down with their breasts exposed in public.

Hot spring resources have never been developed.

The emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties liked to take hot springs, and the Huaqing Palace they built was in Xi'an, which was not available in the capital.

Nowadays, spices are popular in the Ming Dynasty. With hot springs, they may be able to make money continuously.

I just don't know if there are really hot springs there.

"Why does the new emperor want to transfer Zhang Xian to Gu'an?"

"Gu'an's parents impeach me!"

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth, looking like he was disappointed with his son.

"..." Yan Chengjin.

Walking into the School of Science, Song Jing was teaching city wall construction in the courtyard, and several engineers who were eager to learn stood by.

"Lord Yan."

"Why can night fragrance be used to irrigate fruits and vegetables? Why is the soil in the north and south different? Have you ever thought about it carefully?"

Song Jing's heart moved slightly, and Yan Chengjin's words reminded him of some academic studies in science.

His eyes were dull for a long time until Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao left.

Yan Chengjin didn't know whether he could inspire a Ming version of urea.

...

Fengtian Hall,

After the morning court, the retired emperor Hongzhi returned to Wenhua Hall to read the memorials.

Looking at the sky outside, it was already 15:00.

"Is Houzhao still reading the memorials in the East Warm Pavilion?"

Retired Emperor, you don't know your son well enough.

The light in Xiao Jing's eyes dimmed, and he even dodged a little, "He left the palace early in the morning and went to Liangxiang Science College, and then went to Gu'an County."

Retired Emperor Hongzhi's smooth eyebrows gradually wrinkled. I have been reading the memorials until now.

I also left three memorials to test his decision.

"Yan Chengjin went too, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Jing felt the heavy breath of the retired emperor, and hurriedly added: "The new emperor also read the memorials before leaving the palace to relax."

Retired Emperor Hongzhi did not believe it on his face, and turned around after a moment, "Show it to me."

After a moment, he opened the Gu'an memorial. His face seemed calm, but in fact, the resentment in his heart was slowly burning.

Xiao Jing broke out in a cold sweat. After reading this memorial, I am afraid that few people would not be angry.

"No wonder Houzhao left the palace. If it was me, I would be driven out of the palace."

"Yes..."

Xiao Jing reacted very quickly and added a sentence after the emperor Hongzhi finished speaking.

At this time, Li Dongyang and Jiang Mian seemed to have something to report.

"My dears, take a look at this letter first."

At this moment, Li Dongyang and Jiang Mian's eyes fell on the memorial.

Litigation is rampant in Gu'an County. The people do not do farm work all day, but beg for relief money and food from the court.

A few days ago, there was a desperate student who carried a coffin to the government office and cursed Zhu Houzhao.

The mother of this student starved to death.

"I think that the people of Gu'an are poor." Jiang Mian's voice was a little heavy.

Students are students who are supported by the court after passing the examination for a scholar.

One liter of rice per day, and the price of fish, meat and salt depends on the current price.

With the support from the court, it is enough to support two people. If there are more, it will not be able to support them.

After all, Dingding County is located at the junction of the capital and Baoding Prefecture. Throughout history, most of the places located at the junction are the poorest.

The retired emperor Hongzhi sighed.

"Hou Zhao and Yan Qingjia went to Gu'an County to solve this matter."

...

Gu'an County, in a mountain.

"Hurry, it's still a little hot, put some more mountain spring in."

Zhu Houzhao's white body was soaked in the pool, making a fuss, and grinning from the heat.

A dozen Jinyiwei and eunuchs worked hard to move a few large stones and put in the mountain spring.

He Neng looked at Yan Chengjin and smiled flatteringly: "It's almost winter, are you going to take a bath?"

"Let the new emperor try the poison first."

Yan Chengjin was not in a hurry. The ground spring water and mountain spring water are both flowing dynamic water, and they are not dirty.

Several Jinyiwei couldn't help but take a bath in the downstream, grinning, but unwilling to come out.

"Who are you! How dare you do such a dirty thing in the wild!"

County Magistrate Li Chao received a report from a civilian woman and hurried over with the yamen runners. He saw someone taking off all his clothes here.

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes. Isn't this the dog official who impeached him today?

County Magistrate Li Chao was also staring at Zhu Houzhao. At the moment, this person was the most immoral and took off the most clothes.

"Where do you live!"

Zhu Houzhao: "In the capital."

"Is there anyone who runs so far to take a bath? You are a kid who talks nonsense. Come on, capture this unruly person."
