Chapter 242 Qingzhou Prosperity
In a blink of an eye, they have been in Qingzhou for five years.
In the past five years, Ye Yunchu has worked his way up from a small county magistrate to the position of prefect of Qingzhou, with remarkable political achievements.
There were still many hardships and difficulties, but fortunately we managed to get through it.
When I first came to Qingzhou, it was a dilapidated, poor and miasma-filled place.
In the poorest areas, people even trade their children for food.
I didn't expect there was such a place in the imperial court.
Like an abandoned place.
When Ye Yunchu came here, he first rectified the customs of the people. He didn't care about other counties, but strictly managed the county he governed.
At the worst time, groups of evildoers were hacked to death in Caishikou, and blood flowed like a river.
Under strict supervision, whether they obey or not, they will be kept in check.
Then they began to build roads, houses, schools and clinics in the county.
They distributed seeds and taught us how to fertilize the fields. Finally, they used some lime fertilizer. The harvest in the first year was very good, and at least no one starved to death.
The people under the county government also went from being submissive on the surface to being convinced in their hearts.
If you do a good job, people from other counties will naturally come to learn from you and seek refuge.
Of course, there were also people who came to cause trouble, but they were all suppressed by Ye Yunchu by force.
The prefect at that time was a corrupt official promoted by local dignitaries. He was extremely inactive. When he saw what Ye Yunchu was doing, he set up a Hongmen Banquet.
He joined forces with local tyrants to kill the man, but was killed by Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu took office as prefect with tough measures. The first thing he did after taking office was to deal with the local tyrants who wanted to kill him.
There are those who are domineering, and there are those who also want to be domineering, but they cannot be as domineering as the boss.
So Ye Yunchu contacted the one who was more powerful than him, promised him benefits, killed the more powerful one, and then obtained evidence of the second more powerful one's crime, and finally destroyed these local forces.
The confiscated stolen money was used for local construction, with the government building roads, bridges, and city walls.
Later, he helped alleviate poverty, taught technology, governed counties, and selected talents.
Develop advantages in farming, commerce and other aspects.
Build trade routes and bring in caravans from outside.
Only by allowing your own products to be sold and things from outside to be sold in can the lives of the people under your rule become better and better.
The changes in five years have been earth-shaking.
The people here went from being hungry and cold at the beginning to living and working in peace and contentment later on.
Because Qingzhou is a place with extremely hot summers, the girls here began to follow Li Runrun's example and wear modified shorts, exposing half of their arms and ankles.
From hiding it to getting used to it, women's behavior has improved significantly.
It has also become a unique folk custom here.
It was a hot summer at the beginning of the fifth year.
Liruanruan fished out a watermelon from the well and knocked it.
It was so hot that she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and picked up the watermelon.
Li Mutou came back from outside: "It's so hot."
He picked up the ladle and scooped up a ladle of water and started drinking.
Li Ruanruan turned around and was shocked to see him like this: "How can you drink something cold like this? Be careful of stomachache!"
"Sister, I'm almost dying of thirst, and you're still talking about this."
Li Ruanruan looked at him sweating and asked, "What have you been doing?"
"There was a fight between the two villages down below. I received the news and went on patrol. I just came back."
This is not the first time that this has happened. Clan power is like this. When a fight breaks out, they always call in people. When they call in people, they call in everyone in the family tree, and the fight is very fierce.
Li Ruanruan shook her head: "It's all idle."
"That's right. We've all been living a good life. The adults said to arrest them all and send them to work in the kiln factory. It happens to be hot and they need workers."
The kiln factory is also a business of the Qingzhou government office, and now it is also a pear soft hose.
The porcelain produced here is beautiful, with colors and patterns that other kilns cannot produce, making it one of the low-cost and high-profit businesses of the government office.
When Li Runrun heard this, she was so happy: "That's great! I was just worried about Boss Huang's shipment, afraid I wouldn't be able to deliver it. Now it's all good, I don't have to worry about that anymore."
Li Mutou chuckled, "Isn't it? My Lord... my brother-in-law was thinking about you, saying you were whispering in his ear. When he learned about this, he told me to hurry up and do it. If I was too late, I wouldn't be able to catch them. Now these unruly people have learned to be smart and know to avoid the authorities when they fight in groups."
Li Ruanruan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
She cut a piece of watermelon for Li Mutou, then thought of something and blushed again.
What do you mean by whispering in someone's ear? Ye Yunchu is also a complete jerk, telling everything to others.
Don't let her look at him, otherwise...
Pinch his ears.
After Li Mutou finished eating the watermelon, Li Ruanruan asked him to have another piece.
Li Mutou wiped his mouth and said, "No more eating, no more eating. I'm going to take those people to the kiln factory."
Limutou ran away like a gust of wind.
Li Runrun took a bite of the watermelon and sat comfortably on the recliner, closing her eyes.
Tiantian and Anan both went to school.
The girls' school was established in various counties with money donated by Li Runrun. Many problems were encountered during the establishment, but fortunately Ye Yunchu helped and it was successfully launched.
Li Runrun was eating the watermelon in her hand, still thinking about what she was going to do in the afternoon.
When I lowered my head to bite, I found that I had bitten nothing.
Where is her watermelon?
Li Runrun looked up and found that Ye Yunchu had eaten her watermelon in one bite.
Li Ruanruan was so angry that she laughed: "Is it delicious?"
Ye Yunchu cut another piece of watermelon and handed it to Li Runrun's mouth.
Li Ruanruan lowered her head to take a bite.
He took his hand back and bit it off in one bite.
"Are you childish?"
Li Runrun reached for the watermelon next to her, and Ye Yunchu came over and bit off the tip of the watermelon.
I knew he was being childish on purpose, and Li Runrun was also angry.
He stood up from the rocking chair and was about to beat Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu took a few punches from her, finished eating the watermelon, lowered his head, put his arms around her waist, and kissed her.
Li Ruanruan narrowed her eyes: "Did you rub watermelon juice on my clothes?"
Ye Yunchu froze for a moment, and then was beaten by Li Ruanruan again.
He laughed: "My lady, please forgive me. It was not intentional."
I didn't expect it, I just got used to it.
Li Ruanruan let out a breath and ignored him.
Ye Yunchu took a piece of watermelon and handed it to Li Ruanruan in a flattering manner: "Don't be angry."
It took a long time to coax him into submission.
Li Ruanruan lowered her head and ate watermelon.
Ye Yunchu looked at her obedient profile and said, "The emperor has issued an order."
"Praising you again?"
"No, there's a flood in Jiangnan. We need to go back to Beijing."
Li Ruanruan took a deep breath and said, "You are just a brick. You can be moved wherever you are needed. I will let you handle any hard bones that I cannot chew."
"What can I do? It's because I, your husband, am so outstanding."
Li Ruanruan almost choked on the watermelon. Ye Yunchu was becoming more and more unruly.
But he is not an ordinary person, and Li Ruanruan knows it.
Let alone anything else, the fact that Ye Yunchu managed such a poor place in such an orderly manner, and that his tax revenue ranked among the top five prefectures under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, shows that his political achievements are enough for his promotion.
Qingzhou alone cannot contain Ye Yunchu, who has the talent to govern the world.
They will return to Beijing sooner or later.
Fortunately, arrangements had been made in advance, so there was no need to panic.
