www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
This thunderstorm is coming fiercely.
In just half a cup of tea, the water on the eaves opposite had already formed strands.
Thick mist was already stirring in the air, but it also brought a coolness, which immediately dissipated the heat.
The window of the elegant room on the second floor of Pinyun Teahouse is still open, and a new pot of tea has been brewed. Zhang Qiyue is carefully filling the tea for the four of them.
"The three brothers came to Wofeng City for the first time. As the landlord here, I have to tell the three brothers about the interesting things about Wofeng City."
Yu Xingjian put away the paper fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Brother Zhang's laughter. When we came to Wofeng City yesterday, he was really a headless fly."
He pointed at Sima Tao with his paper fan, and said: "This guy said he was going to find a place to get some delicious food, but what happened? Brother Zhong and I followed him around, and we walked around this street for a long time. After wandering around for half an hour, I was really hungry, so I found a street restaurant and had a hasty meal, and then I realized I didn’t know the way back to the inn. ”
Yu Xingjian spread his hands, "Guess what in the end? We met an acquaintance, and they took us back to the inn. Otherwise, we would have had to sleep on the street last night."
Zhang Qiyue covered his mouth and laughed, Wang Chaofeng quickly held his hands and said: "This is all my fault, little brother. If I had come back earlier yesterday, how could the three of you have suffered so much... In Wofeng City , can you meet an acquaintance? I wonder if he is the young master of that family?"
Yu Xingjian waved his hand, "That boy's name is Shang Liang. He is the grandson of Lord Shang Yu Shang, who is under the command of the Provincial Secretary. Back then, Lord Shang worked as a platform on Jiannan East Road. I also had Brother Zhong and that boy as classmates. It’s been three years. I’m ashamed to say that Brother Zhong and I didn’t pursue official careers, but now this guy has become a successful person.”
Wang Chaofeng asked curiously: "That businessman came to Wofeng City to be an official?"
"Isn't that right? That boy has lost his official career! Last year, he followed Ding Anbo to the Wu Dynasty to attend the cultural conference. After Ding Anbo returned to the Yu Dynasty, he established the Ministry of Commerce and conveniently took this boy He was promoted from Jixia Academy and became an official of the Ministry of Commerce without even taking the exam."
"After Ding'anbo captured Wofeng Road, he sent this guy here to serve as a front station. I met him last night. He is already an officer of the Inspectorate Office in this mansion... Inspector Office, how can you do it? Know? ”
Wang Chaofeng shook his head, and Yu Xing explained briefly: "This Supervisory Office is not simple. It has the power to supervise the entire Wofeng Road. It not only supervises hundreds of officials, but also assesses... He said it is an assessment, assessing all The political achievements of county officials! ”
"This political achievement is people's livelihood. According to that boy, if the people of a certain county are dissatisfied with their county magistrate...then the county magistrate will have to get out!"
Wang Chaofeng and Zhang Qiyue were suddenly startled, "Get out? Aren't they officials of the imperial court?"
"Hey, the officials of Wofeng Road are different. They were hired by Ding Anbo. The salary is twice as much as that of the other thirteen roads, but the first employment period is only one year. In other words, this time If you cannot achieve political results that satisfy the people during the year, you will have to pack up and get out."
Wang Chaofeng and Zhang Qiyue were in disbelief. This completely subverted their understanding of officials.
The meaning of this is easy to understand. If it satisfies the people, it will naturally be based on the people's judgment.
This official is in charge of the people. Now it seems to be the other way around. The future and destiny of the official are in the hands of the people... Do they still dare to be greedy?
Do they still dare to boss around the people?
Do they still dare to sit down and have a vegetarian meal?
If this is true, it will be a blessing to the people and this businessman!
Wang Chaofeng was a little excited. He looked at Sima Tao, who laughed, "I know you can't believe it! But I tell you, this is all true."
"My biological sister Sima Che is the fourth in this encore and the first woman to be an official in the history of the world. She was appointed by Ding'anbo personally to overcome the objections of hundreds of officials in the court. She is now in Ningsang County, Qingzhou Served as county magistrate."
A woman is an official! He also became the magistrate of Ningsang County!
These words were spoken by Sima Tao himself, and they were naturally true, but they still shocked Wang Chaofeng and Zhang Qiyue, and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
"This Ding'an Bo... is really an outstanding person. If I can meet him once, I will have no regrets in this life!"
Wang Chaofeng said with great emotion, but Sima Tao smiled and said: "At least you can't see Ding Anbo now."
"No, hasn't he only been in Wofeng City for more than ten days?"
"This Daotai is different! He left all the matters in the Taoist government to the secretariat and ran away with his fiancée. Of course, Ding Anbo ran out for business. According to Mr. Shang, go Xiushui County."
"What is he doing there?"
Sima Tao spread his hands and said, "I don't know much about this man, but I heard that the rice planted in Xiushui County this year was cultivated by Ding Anbo himself two years ago. I thought I'd go and take a look. How is it growing? ”
Zhongjitang, who had been sitting quietly next to him, spoke up, "You don't know about this. Let me tell you, those are not ordinary rice seeds. It is said that those rice seeds planted in Xiushui County, The yield per mu can reach more than 700 kilograms, can you believe it?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
"This is impossible!" Yu Xingjian was the first to deny, "Well, the fields in the Chengdu Plain can produce as much as 300 pounds per mu, which is usually only 256 kilograms. This more than 700 kilograms is a huge amount. Nearly three times more, this is completely impossible! ”
Zhongjitang chuckled, "How about we make a bet!"
"Tell me, no matter how you gamble, I will accompany you!"
"Okay! I'll bet that the yield of rice fields in Xiushui County can reach 700 jins per mu and 5,000 taels of silver. Even if the harvest in that field is less than one tael, I will lose..." Zhongjitang looked towards He asked Sima Tao and Wang Chaofeng, "You can also place bets, I will take them all!"
"I don't believe it either. I can't buy more than 700 jins." Sima Tao followed immediately. Wang Chaofeng didn't believe it even more. He knew that the fields in Wofengyuan were excellent, but the yield per mu was only about 300 jins. , so he immediately lost.
"As long as I keep my word, my brothers and sisters will testify, so we won't establish any written evidence. If I, Zhongjitang, lose, I will pay each of you five thousand taels of silver tattoos. If I win, hehe..."
"If you win, the three of us will naturally pay you five thousand taels of silver each!"
"The bet is settled...Brothers and sisters, you have to remember that we will settle this bet after the autumn harvest."
The younger brothers and sisters shouted one by one, making Zhang Qiyue's face turn red, but his heart was very happy.
"Remember July, no one is allowed to cheat then!"
"Hahaha..."
The laughter here drowned out the sound of the heavy rain outside the window. They made a bet on the rice field yield in Xiushui County, and Fu Xiaoguan was in Xiushui County at the moment.
Still beside the rice fields.
There is no heavy rain here, just a sporadic drizzle.
