Li Wan watched Brother Lan go to a charity school and hurriedly called for people to inquire about Jia Shifei.
"Although this Jia Shifei's surname is Jia, he is not a relative of our family. He has a single name, and outsiders call him Yucun. Jia Shifei was born as a Jinshi, and became a local official at a young age. Later, he was dismissed for some misdeeds. In his early years, he served as a prison guard at Zhen's house in Jinling and Lin's house in Yangzhou. That year when Daiyu came to Beijing, Jia Shifei was recommended by Lin's aunt and asked Mr. Zheng to help find a prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. "
Li Wan asked curiously: "Since he is the prefect of Yingtian Mansion, why would he come to our house?"
"I heard that Jia Shifei made many achievements when he was in Jinling, and now he has come to Beijing to wait for his appointment as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. I think Mr. Zheng has been kind to him, and he is hearing about the construction of a separate courtyard and the waiting for relatives. He, a high-ranking official, does not mind You have to lower your body and work as a housekeeper next to Mr. Zheng every day."
The speaker laughed, and then continued: "Grandma, I don't know that Jia Shifei is also interesting. A few days ago, Mr. Li of the volunteer school was ill. He was supposed to ask the cleaning guests around Mr. Zheng to take over for two days, but he didn't I don’t think all the purges in the mansion were willing to do it. But Jia Shifei took the initiative to invite me, and the dignified future third-grade official actually stooped down to teach our buddies from the volunteer school."
How could Li Wan not know that this was what she was worried about.
I have heard the name of Jia Yucun several times in the mansion. Although I don't know the person, the brothers and sisters in the mansion often discuss this person. She also had some impressions, but they were all bad.
Then he heard the man laugh and said: "In the past two months, Mr. Zheng has treated him well. There have been many guests in the house recently, and the master also called Jia Shifei to accompany the guests. Not only those of us who are close to the house have met Jia Shi Even the four princes knew his name. I thought that after Mr. Li recovered from his illness, Jia Shifei would no longer go to free school, but he became more energetic. Sir, we are giving extra lessons to Langeer together."
After listening to the visitor's detailed explanation, Li Wan had already concluded that this person was an official fan who loved to study. She said angrily: "He is really a psychic person."
The man couldn't hear the truth, so he laughed and said, "That's true. His little tricks not only made Mr. Zheng happy, but also Mr. She was familiar with him. That's why the brothers in the government looked down upon him. He, Second Master Lian hates him, Second Master Bao dislikes him, but he doesn't care at all."
What can't such a person do to get promoted and make a fortune? It doesn't matter if he is disliked by his buddies.
Li Wan also felt uncomfortable and a little nauseous.
She hates this kind of researcher the most, and she also despises this method. Now he only listened to Jia Yucun using free lectures as a way to study and curry favor, which made Li Wan feel even more disgusted. However, Master Zheng is her elder, and she cannot interfere with the affairs of the free school.
But Langeer also hated this person.
At the moment, Grandma Zhu only had Brother Rong's figure flashing in her mind.
A naked figure.
Do you really want to find him? Thinking of this, Grandma Zhu felt that her cheeks felt a little hot for some reason. It's obviously for business, but why does it feel like having an affair when I think of Brother Rong?
Just feeling ashamed in my heart for a while, another voice came out of my mind.
"Shameless slut."
The guilt returns. Li Wan fell into this entanglement and complexity again. He couldn't even listen to what the person next to him was saying, so he suddenly interrupted and asked: "Brother Rong, did you go to the Yamen today?"
Su Yun immediately replied: "I heard the news this morning that Uncle Xiao Rong was picked up by the Chief Historian of Prince Zhongshun."
Li Wan was relieved after hearing this. I actually thought that it would be okay if Brother Rong was not in the house, but there was no reason to see him again.
Better not to see you. See you soon.
Outside Shenjing City, Jia Rong sat in a carriage and curiously poked his head out.
"Zhou Changshi, isn't this the way to the Shuili Yingtian Mansion?"
The historian of Prince Zhongshun said with a smile: "Your Majesty can't let go of the fertile land in Gyeonggi Province, so he specially asked his subordinates to invite you to go to the boundaries of Jinzhou."
"Why did the Thirteenth Master go to Jinzhou?" Jia Rong muttered, "Shouldn't this old man be the commander in chief and prepare to go to Zhungeer?"
Chang Shi replied: "There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. The Thirteenth Master is afraid that if we go to Zhungeer, someone will make things difficult for the Water Conservancy Camp."
There's nothing we can do about it. Jia Rong shrugged. He had been in the water conservancy camp and knew the results of last year's drought-to-water reform. Although more than 300 hectares of paddy fields have been reclaimed and the output is much higher than in previous years, it is still not ideal.
With such a large-scale conversion from drought to water, the imperial court wanted to directly change the original yield of one or two shi per mu to four shi per mu. Where can it be so easy and simple? Although drought has been replaced by water and irrigation conditions have become available, planting technology and grasp of fertile soil are the key.
The yield per acre has increased by nearly one stone, which has reached the limit.
If you want to increase it, you can only cultivate it reasonably and intensively, and at the same time increase the fertility of the land.
But the people in the court didn't understand this. They all thought that as long as they scattered rice seeds in the ground and waited until summer and autumn, they would be able to harvest a few stones of food.
The carriage traveled for half a day, and Jia Rong arrived at the place after being jolted for a while and her stomach couldn't help but growl.
Brother Rong got off the car and saw a few people standing by the river at a glance. Among these thousands of acres of fertile land, a few people wearing splendid clothes are really eye-catching.
There was even an empty space beside these richly dressed men, and those who were working and resting in the fields could only look here from a distance.
Brother Rong hurried over.
"Boy, pay homage to the prince." Although he shouted this, he neither handed over nor kowtowed. Holding her skirt and robe in one hand, she strode toward the crowd with long strides.
King Zhongshun looked back and said calmly: "It's finally here."
Jia Rong chuckled and cupped his hands, saying, "Why did the Thirteenth Master come to this place?"
Even Brother Rong doesn't know exactly where this place is. Duan Yu, who was standing next to him, secretly rolled his eyes and reminded in a low voice: "The Wuqing area has the most imperial villages besides Beiliao."
"It turns out this is here. I used to look at it on the pictures, but I didn't know it when I came to the actual place." Brother Rong chuckled, "It's just that Wuqing is too big. The place the kid came to last time was not here."
Jia Rong was so thick-skinned that not only Duan Yu and others looked at him, but Shu Bole, the bachelor next to King Zhongshun, couldn't help turning his head to look at him.
King Zhongshun had no time to chat with Jia Rong and asked, "I heard that the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion was restructured in your hands. Why didn't I, Lord Shu, hear the news?"
Jia Rong didn't expect to be held accountable as soon as he came up. He said shamelessly: "I thought that there was only one government office in the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion, and I only had one body. However, the capital city is very vast. I couldn't take care of them all, so I figured out a way to reorganize them."
Shu Bole smiled curiously and said, "In just four months, we can't understand this water conservancy camp. Tell me how you changed it."
Jia Rong said nonchalantly: "There is no major overhaul. It is just divided into four offices according to the original team. They have jurisdiction over the four regions of the east, south, west and north of Gyeonggi Province. The four offices are only responsible for the camp fields within their jurisdiction. Affairs.”
"Tell me about your four offices? What are their weird names? How did you divide them up?" Master Thirteen said angrily. King Zhongshun had always been thinking about the affairs of the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion, so he thought he had never asked about it, but when he asked, he couldn't understand it. Later, I heard that it was divided into four areas. It turned out that these four areas were also divided strangely, and I almost fainted.
Jia Rong said sarcastically: "I counted the number of royal houses in each county in Gyeonggi Province, and also calculated the number of acres of farmland in each county, so I did not divide the jurisdiction according to the prefecture area. We strive to be even, so that the complexity of the four bureaus under the Water Conservancy Yingtian Prefecture The number of acres of land is almost the same. We also refer to the division of tributaries of the water system to make it more convenient for the fourth bureau to camp."
Brother Rong carefully looked at King Zhongshun's expression and added: "So, there will be counties under the same government that are under the responsibility of different bureaus."
So, King Zhongshun understood it. Tuan Kuan asked again: "How many hectares of farmland can be calculated this year?"
This question really stumped Jia Rong.
He looked down at his hands, wondering how many of them he should stretch out. After a moment of hesitation, I felt that I was an honest person, and honest people cannot lie. So he stretched out three fingers and stood there as if swearing.
"Three thousand hectares?" King Zhongshun couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and his pupils dilated at this moment.
Academician Shu Bole was even more surprised. He looked at Brother Rong and couldn't help but said to himself: "The younger generation is to be feared."
King Zhongshun laughed and said, "Although this kid often jumps out, he is indeed talented."
Shu Bole knew that Jia Rong was won over by King Zhongshun, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a sharp eye and knows people, and I, the Great Yan, are blessed."
""
Jia Rong watched the two people complimenting each other, and he was helpless. Then he looked at the three fingers he had raised. Yes, it was three fingers.
But I didn’t say it was three thousand hectares.
One hectare is one hundred acres, one hundred hectares is ten thousand acres, one thousand hectares is one hundred thousand acres. Three thousand hectares is 300,000 acres of fertile land. You really dare to think about this. Brother Rong complained in his heart. But he couldn't stop it, so he could only sigh in his heart, let them have fun first, and at this time, they couldn't bother to peel off his own skin.
King Zhongshun smiled for a while and suddenly saw the expression on Jia Rong's face, and he reacted. No, this bastard is not talking about three thousand hectares.
Based on Master Thirteen's understanding of Brother Rong, if this bastard was talking about three thousand hectares, he would be very happy and proud. Why is it such a dull expression? There is even a trace of pity in the dullness.
King Zhongshun didn't know where this compassion came from. He just discovered the hidden compassion in Jia Rong's eyes.
Master Thirteen suddenly calmed down, stared at Jia Rong and asked, "How did you plan these three thousand hectares?"
Brother Rong frowned, quietly raised his fingers, and replied: "The four water conservancy field bureaus in Gyeonggi Province have a field goal of eighty hectares for each bureau this year. The four bureaus combined together are enough."
Shu Bole laughed and said, "I'm afraid Brother Rong is wrong. It should be 800 hectares per game. Let's take a look at the picture. If we can cultivate 3,000 hectares of farmland this year, the tasks of the Gyeonggi camp will be further improved." It will take one or two years to complete. By then, the prince can rest peacefully for a while and no longer have to deal with the wind and rain, the sun and the rain."
Jia Rong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "The boy was right, it's an eighty-area mission per game."
Um?
Shu Bole and Thirteenth Master were stunned for a moment, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts. Did the two of them just have fun for a while?
King Zhongshun said coldly: "Then three hundred and twenty hectares a year?"
Jia Rong nodded and replied, "Yes."
Shu Bole's expression also turned cold, and the smile completely disappeared from his face. Before Jia Rong came, he was the acting prime minister of the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion. Last year, under his leadership, the Water Conservancy and Farming Office managed nearly 300 hectares of farmland.
Now that Jia Rong is here, why is it still 300 hectares? Oh, three hundred and twenty, twenty hectares more.
King Zhongshun said coldly: "Is this how you fool me?"
"What did Thirteenth Master say? How dare you fool the prince? He really planned to control eighty hectares of water in each round." Rong Geer said with a smile. He felt helpless because it was obviously you who misunderstood. Who would have thought that if I raised three fingers, you could guess three thousand.
It's really killing me.
It’s so fucking daring to think about it. It’s ten times more than the previous year. I think I’m a god.
Thirteenth Master said: "It's a little too little."
"It's quite a lot." Jia Rong replied: "The prince should know that last year, the water supply was only close to 300 hectares, which is less than 300 hectares. Now the plan is to reach 320 hectares, which is already a high goal. "
King Zhongshun was puzzled: "Why did you set such a high goal?"
Seeing King Zhongshun's expression softening, Jia Rong laughed again and said, "Thirteenth Master, we must seek truth from facts when doing things, and we can't be pretentious."
"What is fake space?"
"It's just that it's not important." Brother Rong said hurriedly, "The Thirteenth Master thinks this way. In the past, the camp was right next to Shenjing, and Qinghe and Tongzhou were all convenient for camp. Not only were there many tributaries, but the terrain was not complicated. . However, the entire Gyeonggi region is not just such a simple and convenient place."
King Zhongshun glanced at Jia Rong and nodded his head to agree with his statement.
Shu Bole also reacted at this time. He had seen the topographic maps of each county and found that some places were indeed inconvenient for farming. In many places, the difficulty of fielding is much higher than that in Tongzhou, Qinghe and other places.
Jia Rong told the two officials the details of the camp. The Thirteenth Master and the Grand Master were pressed for time and had no time to listen to that.
King Zhongshun said: "The affairs of the camp are now on the right track, but the officials in the court are quite critical of the output after the camp."
Jia Rong knew it already. He asked with a wry smile: "What is Master Thirteen's plan?"
King Zhongshun said: "That's why I want to ask you to calculate it today. If it doesn't work out, I'll ask a few more farmers from the south to come over and give guidance. We have to increase the rice yield after setting up the field, otherwise"
Jia Rong asked by mistake: "What else?"
King Zhongshun said angrily: "Otherwise, you, the water conservancy and field envoy, will be in trouble."
"Uh?" Jia Rong was stunned. This was too scary. He said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, you are just joking."
Next to him, Shu Bole answered with a smile: "It's not a joke. If the ideal goal cannot be achieved despite vigorous efforts in field cultivation, officials in the DPRK and China, especially those who have worked in the Ministry of Water Transport and the Ministry of Internal Affairs" (to be continued)
