Next, Jiang Zhi discussed with Miss Huo Er what needs to be developed in the future.
The bite is a kind of misty bug, and it is usually found outdoors in the wilderness. The smell of mosquito coil smoke has little effect. The best product still needs to be applied to the skin surface.
As a result, Jiang Huo and Jiang Huo had a great time talking about everything from the cultivation of medicinal materials to the development of mosquito repellent.
Although Miss Huo Er has not been educated in modern civilization, she has a flexible mind and dares to think and act.
Being able to surpass other clan brothers and uncles in the family to get the power of management, apart from the care of the elders, is naturally something special.
When Jiang Zhi mentioned mosquito repellent, Miss Huo Er thought of aromatherapy and fragrance powder.
Jiang Zhi hardly needed any explanation before she understood the convenience and speed of liquid mosquito repellent.
One is smart and capable, relying on the family business, and the other is resourceful and has ancient and modern technology in mind. It feels like they met too late.
Miss Huo Er said that in the future, the Huo family would be willing to help sell the products made by Jiang Zhi. As for the commission, they would wait and see the results.
Jiang Zhi also promised that if there is anything in the future, the Huo family will try it first.
Unexpectedly, more than an hour passed by and the two of them hadn't finished talking, but Jiang Zhi still had important things to go to the county government.
Knowing that it was not easy to come to the county town from Xujiacun, Miss Huo Er didn't want to stay long when she heard that she had to go to the county government office for business. She could only send her and Xu Errui to the gate of the county government office before leaving.
At the county government office, Magistrate Zhang, who was intolerant of humidity and heat, was dressed in loose casual clothes and received Jiang Zhi in the bamboo pavilion.
The maid Lanzhi brought melons, fruits and tea to the two of them.
Sitting in the shade of the gentle breeze, Zhang Zheng was still fanning his big cattail fan, frowning as he listened to Jiang Zhi's talk about buying a calf.
"The government supports the farmers with two taels of silver. When you leave, ask Er Rui to go to the household to collect the four taels of silver."
Xu Errui, who had been waiting by the side, nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, I will take it in a moment. Four taels of silver and a little more will be enough to buy a calf."
Zhang Zheng frowned even more: "Forty taels of silver to buy a calf? But the household reported only eight taels of silver."
Jiang Zhi now also knows that the Yamen is as deep as the sea, and there are many things in it that are unclear.
But she was not an accounting major, so she didn’t understand the many twists and turns in the price of buying cattle and where the holes were.
All we know is that the government's treasury is losing money, and farmers have benefited, but not much.
"County Magistrate Zhang, since the government wants to subsidize it, it is better to implement it and directly exempt our farmers from part of the tax, so that ordinary people can see it one by one and understand the government's intentions.
Work is used to raise money, and money is used to recruit workers. The flow of money is kept in the open and can be easily managed. "
This kind of subsidy policy is the most complicated. It is blocked up and down, and the middle is left empty. Over time, it will breed a bunch of moths. The final solution is to reduce the middlemen.
Jiang Zhi's words were a bit out of line for an ordinary peasant woman, but Zhang Zheng nodded: "Although you are just a country person, you know how to gather the wisdom of the people, and what you say makes sense."
Jiang Zhi has already said that as a village woman, she can become the village chief because she dares to speak boldly.
Although he didn't understand management, he gathered several capable people as assistants and had a leadership team in Xujiacun, imitating the government office.
Whatever she says now is the result of the villagers' discussion, and there is absolutely no room for suspicion.
Zhang Zheng praised Jiang Zhi, but did not mention the tax-free gift, and continued: "There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, Xujiacun can be stable now, firstly, it is easy to manage with a small number of people, and secondly, it is inseparable from your good management. You rule the people by the people, this method works!”
Jiang Zhizhang knew that Magistrate Zhang said that tax exemption would not be available for the time being.
He cares about the people, but he can't take everything lightly.
The county magistrate is a local emperor. To manage a county, he can rely on three squads and six departments, a large number of subordinate officials and a stepped squire.
The subordinate officials do not have the imperial government to issue monthly silver. If they need it, they are responsible for the local government treasury. If they are bypassed, the whole situation will definitely collapse.
To cut off people's wealth is to kill their parents, and Jiang Zhi will also be retaliated against.
It is said that the government is made of iron and the officials are smooth. Emperor Jiaqing also said, "I and my subordinates will rule the world together." It is difficult to abandon the way of employing people that we have been accustomed to for a long time.
Jiang Zhi put aside the topic of chronic diseases in the feudal system and asked her last request: "County Magistrate Zhang, do you have any news about the handwritten letter of the King of Zhou that the civilian woman asked for before?"
More than half a year has passed, and there are only a few words. King Zhou can't still write it down.
Magistrate Zhang shook his fan for a moment and said helplessly: "Ms. Jiang, the war is still ongoing and King Zhou is not in the fiefdom. I can't get the handwritten letter you want. There will always be some in the future."
Every time Zhang inspects the county government, he will mention the changes in Xujia Village.
He knew in his heart that he was helping Jiang get the handwriting of King Zhou.
Because Zhang Xing's contribution to killing bandits was suppressed by him, although he has now become a county patrol inspector, he has lost a reward in vain. If the Jiang family gets the reward, Zhang Xing will not be honored.
But the King of Zhou had been away with his troops since last year and did not return to Ba County.
Jiang Zhi was a little disappointed and couldn't help but press for more.
What she originally thought was that regardless of whether Nie Fantian would return to Xujiacun in the original book, and what attitude he would have towards herself, she needed to develop herself first.
If I can get the handwriting of King Zhou early and have this big tiger skin, I can free my hands and feet to do things without having to be secretive and think about it.
But now that King Zhou is away, I don’t know when he will return to Bajun...
Why! All I can say is that good things come hard.
After Xu Errui registered the number of cattle he bought in his household and received a subsidy of four taels of silver, Jiang Zhi, mother and son withdrew from the county government.
It was already dusk at this time, and he thought that Xiaoman and Wu Yang were still waiting for him at the city gate.
Jiang Zhi quickly asked Er Rui to go to the Huo Family Medicine Store to retrieve his old mule.
He rushed to the embroidery workshop to sell the scholar's veil.
Xiaoman and Wuyang are both young and are not good at doing such delicate work.
When we arrived at the embroidery workshop, there were still two female guests picking out patterns.
Jiang Zhi's hurried walk into the store startled others.
A little girl wearing a couple's clothes, a gold hairpin and jade bracelet, and a string of yellow orchids was standing by the window, leaning over to look at some handkerchiefs on the shelf.
When he raised his eyes and saw Jiang Zhi coming in, he immediately covered his mouth and nose with a look of disgust on his face, and muttered: "The smelly country woman also entered the embroidery workshop! What bad luck!"
Next to him, a little girl who looked like a maid rushed over, blocked her young lady, glared at Jiang Zhi and said rudely: "Stand away, don't smoke my young lady!"
Jiang Zhi also knew that he had traveled dozens of miles, and even if he didn't move in the car, he was still dusty and sweaty in this hot weather.
At the Huo Family Medicine Store, Miss Huo Er was even given water and she briefly freshened up.
Except for the rumpled cotton and linen clothes, even the county magistrate did not say a word about "obstructive to the eyesight", but now he was driven away by this little girl.
She is not one to let others bully her, but now she has something to do, and Xiaoman and the others are still waiting, not wanting to cause more trouble.
So he just said lightly: "Then please give in and stop infuriating your young lady!"
