Bang bang bang!
Jiang Renfeng stood up excitedly and accidentally bumped into the table. The cup on the table shook a few times and fell to the ground, breaking into broken pieces.
Jiang Renfeng was in no mood to care about these fragments.
He was so excited that his face turned red and his eyes were shining.
"Huai'an, are you really willing to offer the back mountain to the imperial court?"
My God, Bodhisattva, you really love me so much.
With Gao Miao offering the Saltpeter Mountain, why would he need to worry about his position as county magistrate being shaken?
Gao Miao said seriously, "I am willing! Otherwise I would not come to see you, sir."
"Good, good, good! It's really touching that Huai'an has such patriotic sentiments.
Huai'an, let's go back to Lao Zhuang Village with you and take some people to measure how big the back mountain is. We need to make a conservative estimate of the output.
In this way, I can write memorials more clearly.
After returning, I immediately wrote a memorial and had it sent to the capital at full speed to present to the Emperor.
What do you think of this arrangement, Huai An?"
Gao Miao stood up and bowed.
"Students follow the adults' instructions."
Jiang Renfeng laughed happily, and immediately called people in, arranged to find someone, hitch a carriage, and then go to Lao Zhuang Village together.
Jiang Renfeng brought the officials to Lao Zhuang Village, and the villagers of Lao Zhuang Village were all panicked.
Everyone thought something had happened again.
Hurry up and find the ancestors and the village chief.
After hearing this, the ancestor and the village chief immediately went to the Xie family.
This morning, Gao Miao went to the county government office, while Gao Zhi went to find the ancestor and Gao Ronghua.
They were all talking about the same thing.
The old ancestor and Gao Ronghua already knew that Gao Miao wanted to donate the saltpeter from the back mountain to the court.
The villagers followed nearby, rubbing their hands anxiously.
"Ancestor, what is going on? Our Laozhuang Village has never had a county magistrate come here before.
Could it be that something unexpected has happened in the case of Gao Miao and Jiao Jiao?"
The old ancestor looked at the villagers following him and felt like laughing.
These people are already terrified.
In the past, they would think it would rain when they heard the wind, but now, they are already thinking it will rain heavily before the wind even comes.
"Don't scare yourself. Lord Jiang is here to handle official business."
"Ah?" The villagers looked at their ancestor in confusion.
Our ancestors must have known something, but why didn’t they tell us?
The group hurried to Xie's house, and Gao Miao had already invited Jiang Renfeng into the house.
Jiang Renfeng had discussed with his lawyer on the way that after they arrived at the Xie family, they must behave approachably and care about the people.
"Huaian, many of the things produced by your Xie family workshop are well-known.
Since we are here today, can you take us to the workshop and let us see how those things are produced?"
Gao Miao nodded, "Yes! It is an honor for the students. Sir, because the workshops mostly produce food, the hygiene is strictly controlled.
If adults want to visit the workshop, they must first change into our workshop clothes.
Sir, please go to the student room and sit down first.
The students went to get new clothes.”
Hearing this, Jiang Renfeng was very curious.
Is it really that particular?
This made him want to see what the Xie family’s workshop was like even more?
"good!"
Gao Miao brought Lord Jiang and the teacher to his room, and then went to find Xie to get new clothes.
The three of them changed into white clothes, put on white hats, and white masks.
"Please, sir!"
Xie has already informed Li Mei and the others that someone is coming to visit the workshop, and asked them to be more relaxed and to work seriously.
Xie didn't say it was Lord Jiang because she was afraid that the people in the workshop would be scared, and when people are scared, they are more likely to do wrong things.
Their workshop cannot allow such a situation to occur in front of Jiang Renfeng.
Jiang Renfeng entered the workshop, watched and asked questions curiously along the way, without putting on any airs or revealing his identity.
The workers continued to do their jobs as usual, or even better.
They thought they were partners.
In the past, there were partners who visited the workshop. The partners toured their entire workshop, and then decided whether to cooperate based on their impression.
So, when the workers saw people coming to visit, they all became very alert, full of energy and quick and efficient.
I visited each workshop one by one.
Jiang Renfeng and his lawyer returned to the main hall. Just as they sat down, the old ancestor and Gao Ronghua arrived.
Neither Xie nor Gao Zhi showed up, so Gao Miao entertained Jiang Renfeng and the others alone.
After everyone got to know each other and chatted for a while, Jiang Renfeng suggested going to the back mountain to take a look.
Jiang Renfeng was particularly anxious.
He was anxious to submit a memorial, anxious to keep his official position.
Professional people were brought in from the government office, who measured the size of the back mountain and dug a basket of saltpeter.
Jiang Renfeng had to take this basket of saltpeter back to the yamen, and when he submitted a memorial to the emperor, he had to ask someone to take a basket to the capital.
The back mountain is not high, but it covers a large area.
After Jiang Renfeng got the specific area, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He couldn't wait to write the memorial.
Jiang Renfeng was particularly grateful to Gao Miao. He borrowed pen and ink from Gao Miao and wrote the memorial in the main hall of Xie's house.
The content of the memorial was discussed with Gao Miao, and every sentence was polished over and over again before it was written down.
Gao Miao knew the entire content of the memorial clearly.
"Huai'an, don't worry! I won't add any more words to the memorial and will submit it as it is.
Your loyalty to the emperor and your patriotism are admirable, and are something that students all over the world should learn from.
Thank you.
During the period when I was in office, a man of great talent, righteousness, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism emerged in our county.
It is my honor.”
Gao Miao bowed, looking very humble.
"Your Excellency is too kind."
"Okay, okay! Huai'an, don't be so modest." Jiang Renfeng patted Gao Miao's shoulder, "Then I will go back to the government office first, make some preparations, and have someone leave immediately to deliver the memorial and saltpeter.
Huai'an, I hope you can give more consideration to another matter I want to tell you.
If you can gain experience in the government, that's a good thing."
Gao Miao: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will consider it carefully."
Jiang Renfeng suggested that Gao Miao work as a legal advisor in the government office, but Gao Miao neither agreed nor refused.
"Okay! I'll go back first then."
"Students send adults off."
Gao Miao saw Jiang Renfeng and his lawyer out of the hospital and watched them leave in a carriage.
It was also at this time that the workshop closed for lunch.
The workers then realized that the person who came to visit the workshop was the county magistrate.
Some people were so frightened that they trembled all over.
Oh my god, that person who is not at all arrogant is actually the county magistrate?
But...but...but there are rumors outside that the magistrate is particularly vicious.
This is different from the rumors.
"Xiao Miao, the ancestors and my grandfather want you to come over. They want to discuss something with you."
Gao Yunting watched Jiang Renfeng leave from afar before coming over to inform Gao Miao.
Gao Miao nodded, "Let's go!"
Gao Yunting jumped up, hugged Gao Miao's neck, and forced Gao Miao to lean towards him. "Xiao Miao, you have made great progress. I am so happy for you."
"Be gentle! Ouch~~~ You're almost breaking my neck."
"Gao Yunting, you are a pig. You have only been home for a few days. How come you have gained weight? You are so heavy..."
"Let go! My neck..."
About ten meters away from the gate of Xie’s courtyard, there stood two matchmakers.
The two matchmakers stared in amazement at the two young scholars flirting with each other...
These two people have been refusing to let go and look down on me. Could it be that...
