Chapter 118
How could Ji Yuan go directly from the sixth rank to the fourth rank?
Why?
When the governor asked this question, he already had the answer in his mind.
He had been throwing a tantrum before because he thought Ji Yuan was the same as him and that this was how his life would be.
From then on, he could only be a minor official of the sixth rank in the local area.
A minor official with no tax revenue and no future.
He had worked hard to take the imperial examination, but this was not the result he wanted!
What he wants is to get rich and become an official.
Even if you don't get promoted, you have to be able to make money.
In short, he must have one of the two: money and power.
But what is the result?
There is nothing!
Why?
So the governor was very angry when Ji Yuan was working hard.
It's like this anyway, why are you working hard?
When he learned that Ji Yuan's efforts had paid off, he naturally became even angrier.
Now what?
Now I am filled with fear and terror.
Every time he scolded Ji Yuan, he was actually afraid.
He was afraid that Ji Yuan would really do something, and what would he do then.
In the past, when he said he couldn’t get promoted, he could blame it on the remote location of Ning’an Prefecture. He could also say it was not because he didn’t work hard, but because he really didn’t have a chance.
Now.
What happened in the current era proves one thing.
Hard work really helps, and so does high enough achievement.
He is the only one who is useless.
He is a puddle of mud, but Ji Yuan is not.
The era will be different everywhere.
With his abilities, he would never get promoted in his life, but he is still a very powerful figure in Ning'an Prefecture.
The place is six or seven thousand miles away from the capital, and the locals have little impression of the emperor, the imperial power, or even the official positions, so naturally there is no question of awe.
But for capable people, they can truly feel it.
Ji Yuan's current reputation in Ning'an Prefecture is completely different from his.
Are you saying that Ji Yuan never gave him a chance?
Knowing that he was a juren and had passed the imperial examination, they gave him the official school affairs to do.
The governor still can't figure it out.
Was his anger after he found out that Ji Yuan was suppressed by the Fifth Prince real or just acting?
Maybe it's just an excuse not to do anything.
He's used to doing nothing.
No one can help him up.
The governor even felt the same way himself.
Perhaps, Ji Yuan knew what he was thinking.
But Ji Yuan has already given one chance and will definitely not give it a second time, let alone persuade him with earnest words.
Ji Yuan is different from those good officials in the traditional sense, such as Lord Liu.
Lord Liu knew that he was depressed, so he basically ignored him and only gave him some advice from time to time.
Ji Yuan didn't advise and didn't care.
Will give a chance.
If you can't catch it, sorry, next one.
The governor burst into tears in the Ning'an Prefecture government office.
The officials and people who were attracted by him got the good news first.
Ji Yuan got promoted!
I got promoted because I did a good job in Ning'an Prefecture.
Does that mean the imperial court knows what’s happening here?
So you've been paying attention?
Otherwise, how would the capital know about what was happening here so quickly?
Wait a minute, rubber-soled shoes were only developed in November. It’s only been a short time now, and the court cannot possibly know about this.
There is no such thing as a clairaudient or a clairvoyant in this world.
Why did the court give Ji Yuan an extra promotion?
The era that was called over was also very strange, what could it be?
He did a lot of things when he came to Ning'an Prefecture.
But considering the time, only one or two things could be reported to the capital?
Even if the official messenger rode his horse and whipped the horse, the capital would at most know about what happened in August and September?
Even the book on the canal guide they are going to write is just on the way.
So how much did you know and what were praised?
Ji Yuan himself is curious, let alone others.
The only two colleagues who had read the document were so excited that they were speechless, and the governor was already crying and laughing, and could not utter a word.
They can only watch it themselves!
Ji Yuan opened the document and recognized the official's handwriting as soon as he saw it.
The official from the Ministry of Personnel had a good relationship with him, and when he was drafting a document, he was praising him as soon as he started writing.
What is "Strong winds reveal strong grass, fierce fire reveals true gold."
He is said to be "In the vastness of heaven and earth, the people are the most important."
How can the other party brag that "he who wins people will prosper"?
Ji Yuan could even imagine this former colleague grinning at him while deliberately writing these sentences.
And the fact that such a document could be passed must have been "indispensable" to the Ministry of Personnel's immediate superior, Li Shoufu.
Ji Yuan gritted his teeth and read through it, trying hard to extract accurate information.
Finally, I found other content from the Ministry of Personnel besides praising him.
"The document says that Ji Yuan traveled all the way here and encouraged the students of Wuxin Mansion, setting a good example."
This is the first one.
No, these are two.
Ji Yuan walked thousands of miles, which was also praised in the documents.
Encouraging students is entirely a personal behavior, or it may be because the other party has helped him a lot, but it doesn’t matter. If someone wants to list it, then list it.
Third, when he took office, he brought countless books to help improve local agricultural standards.
As well as opening a veterinary school and having his own guards protect folk craftsmen, etc.
ah?
Are these worth mentioning?!
Ji Yuan was full of question marks, all of them, is this even possible?
Is this ok?
Is this ok?
It can be seen that when someone wants to praise you, they can find any reason.
Ji Yuan thought these were nothing, but his colleagues around him also nodded slightly.
The court clerk is right.
Ji Yuan did exactly that, and he did a great job.
The court can really see a lot of details.
Ji Yuan quickly said, "Stop, stop. If you keep praising me, my face will turn red."
In fact, he has become famous, but he won’t admit it!
It was as if he simply refused to admit that with such a small skill like his, how could he jump so many levels?
From six to four.
Skip four levels in a row.
If it was just the rubber-soled shoes, he wouldn't think it was a big deal.
But isn't it a bit too soon to talk about other things?
Ji Yuan looked at other contents on the document and found a line of inconspicuous words.
The general idea is that Ji Yuan did this and said it was because of the emperor's grace. He was sent by the court and the emperor, so he would take good care of the people of Ning'an Prefecture.
Ji Yuan captured this sentence very keenly.
If he guessed correctly, one, he did do some practical work, and two, both the emperor and the Ministry of Personnel thought that he was a sixth-rank official in the capital, and if he were placed outside, he would at least be a fifth-rank official or a fifth-rank official.
As a top scholar, being sent so far away actually puts some pressure on public opinion.
The emperor probably intends to make compensation.
3. Prime Minister Li.
Prime Minister Li wrote him two letters, both times asking him to stay calm and not panic.
It turns out she was waiting for him here.
No matter what, from the perspective of the capital, he was indeed promoted out of turn.
Ji Yuan looked at the interesting document.
It has been almost a year since I left the capital, and I felt that time flew by so quickly. And seeing such complicated documents again, I feel a little uncomfortable?
The outside world makes him happier.
Prime Minister Li and the Ministry of Personnel must have been under a lot of pressure as they made such an extraordinary promotion.
Prime Minister Li, this is truly a great gift for him.
The governor of Ning'an Prefecture.
It seemed like he could do more.
Although I am doing a lot now.
At the same time, there was indeed a dispute in the capital over this matter.
Ever since Ji Zhuangyuan left Beijing, there has been discussion on this issue in the court.
But no matter how much we discuss it, there is nothing we can do about it.
But she had formed a tacit estrangement towards the Fifth Prince.
Regardless of their family background, 80% to 90% of the officials in the Tianqi court had come through the imperial examinations.
Although they were not the ones treated unfairly this time, these officials could not help but feel grievances.
Fifth Prince, you have really gone too far.
But if you think about it, this isn't the first time he's done this.
When he asked the military candidates to play football for him, those who were civil candidates thought that the Fifth Prince just looked down on the military generals.
Nowadays, it seems that everyone who comes from the imperial examination system is looked down upon, even the top scorer.
It would be strange if the officials in the court were not angry.
I am a little disappointed with the emperor.
The emperor is so confused.
They tacitly distanced themselves from the Fifth Prince and even expressed their dissatisfaction to the Emperor.
Yes, who would want to have such a boss?
Of course, there were many things going on in the court, so the matter was soon over.
It was not until September that an official from the Ministry of Personnel inspecting Dianzhou Prefecture reported an incident.
That is the whereabouts of Ji Zhuangyuan.
He wrote down every single thing that happened after Ji Yuan arrived in Dianzhou Prefecture.
He also said that someone asked him if he was demoted here.
When most people hear this, they will definitely start complaining.
Ji Yuan did not say that. Ji Yuan only said that the people of Ning'an Prefecture are also the people of Tianqi Kingdom.
The emperor didn't care at first, but after hearing this, he nodded.
Furthermore, Ji Yuan is really doing something and using the knowledge he has learned to help people in Ning'an Prefecture make money.
Finally, it was said that in order to provide livelihood for the local people, Ji Yuan even moved to the mountains and gave up the comfortable government office.
ah?
Is this ok?
On the mountain?
Or a dilapidated house?
The officials in the court were greatly shocked, and they immediately vented their previous dissatisfaction and resentment through this incident.
Rather than saying that they were standing up for Ji Yuan, it would be more accurate to say that they were telling the emperor that if you treat officials who came from the imperial examination system in this way, we would be really unhappy.
Isn’t Ji Yuan amazing?
You have also praised his policy papers.
Facts have proved that the power of the imperial examination candidates cannot be ignored.
The emperor knew he should have stopped it at the time, so this extra promotion came.
The governor of Ning'an Prefecture!
That’s enough!
He was promoted from a fourth-rank official position out of turn.
I am really not a tyrant, I just want to see what Ji Yuan is capable of.
Someone from the Imperial Academy said at the right time: "See? This is the emperor's foresight. He knows Ji Zhuangyuan's strength and put him down there to hone his will!"
It sounds as if Ji Yuan went to Ning'an Prefecture out of the emperor's good intentions.
But the emperor liked to hear it, and the ministers were willing to believe it.
Therefore, this promotion document was transferred temporarily.
Ji Yuan, from then on, he became the governor of Ning'an Prefecture.
It even directly states that this year is also counted as part of his term.
In other words, in another three years, he can leave here and doesn't have to work for the full four years.
This was decided by the Ministry of Personnel, and it goes without saying how much effort Prime Minister Li put into it.
Since Prime Minister Li has accepted Ji Yuan as his student, he will not let his student suffer in vain.
He and Chu Daxueshi once again fought each other across the air using the era.
He obviously won this round.
However, Ji Yuan’s extraordinary promotions from September to November are still criticized.
Most people said that the Ministry of Personnel was biased, and some said that Prime Minister Li did it on purpose.
Whether true or false, they keep bringing it up, it’s almost as if Ji Yuan is unworthy of the position written right on his face.
Prime Minister Li thought that such a promotion was indeed exaggerated.
Do you understand Jiyuan?
Ji Yuan has such a small brain that he wouldn't say it if he wasn't sure.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Li has secretly learned a lot of things.
For example, Ji Yuan’s life experience, his parents, and the reason for the sudden breakdown between him and Scholar Chu.
The more he watched, the more Prime Minister Li loved the child.
He has experienced so many things at such a young age, but he never talks about them on a daily basis.
Who wouldn't feel sorry for a child like this?
In fact, if the person behind that matter was not Lord Chu, I guess Grand Scholar Chu would also have expressed some emotion.
But there was no way, he and the man from Jixian Hall were sworn enemies, so Lord Chu killed him.
But even so, Ji Yuan still managed to defeat him.
And he held the evidence of Lord Chu's crime and handed it to me.
Which teacher wouldn’t like such a student?
So even if this promotion is criticized, he will insist on it.
Such students are definitely worthy of support.
Li Shoufu had never expected that his good student, who had withstood the pressure to get promoted, would bring him another huge surprise.
This was not his plan.
It was handed over naturally.
In September, they were discussing whether Ji Yuan's promotion was reasonable or not.
In the same September, people were working very hard over there.
The timeline is roughly like this.
Prime Minister Li asked people from the Ministry of Personnel to collect what Ji Yuan had done and send it to the capital at the end of September, and began to brag about it.
Finally, in October, the promotion of Ji Yuan was decided and the letter was sent.
At the same time, Ji Yuan was also working in Ning'an Prefecture with local people and officials.
Therefore, in November of the 39th year of Huayuan, the court found news about Ji Yuan again.
If the work done from June to July and August of the era was not good enough, it would be a bit of a stretch to promote him to the rank of prefect of the fourth rank.
What happened in August and September of that era was enough to make him truly the governor of Ning'an Prefecture!
The canals and ponds have been built, and a guidance book is being compiled to benefit the people living in the mountains and fields all over the world.
A kind of tree was discovered that could prevent cloth from changing color easily, which helped local dyeing factories make a lot of money, paid a lot of taxes, and even promoted the local people's work of dyeing cloth.
More importantly, the trees were easier to obtain, so woodcutters no longer had to go to higher mountains and take such great risks.
The death rate of local woodcutters has dropped many times.
One by one.
It is no exaggeration to say that the era has changed the entire Ning'an Province.
The document also said that Ji Yuan’s suggestions for ponds and canals were very reasonable and could regulate water sources well, etc.
It is also said that local people were competing to build canals.
It was obvious that he could take advantage of the dyeing business, but he simply told the local dyeing workshops about it and had only one request: that the locals should learn from him and he could not stop them.
There are really too many of these things.
At the end, there is even a "foreshadowing" that says Ji Yuan is tinkering with something new.
After it is made, cloth shoes can be made waterproof and it is very cheap.
???
What is this?!
How is that possible!
cloth shoes?
water proof?
Cheap?
Are you kidding me?
Officials in the capital were lost in thought in November.
Why don’t they know about this? It’s said to be the best place in the capital.
Also, why is Ji Yuan never idle for a moment?
Those who support Chu the Grand Secretary are still saying that Ji Yuan is not worthy of the position and that his exceptional promotion is a sign of favoritism by Prime Minister Li.
Tell them what's happening now.
It's favoritism after all!
Or did Prime Minister Li have a keen eye for talent? !
Some even said: "It's a good thing that Ji Yuan was promoted, otherwise someone who made such a great contribution would still be a small official of the sixth rank. Others would definitely say that the officials in the capital didn't recognize talented people."
When we curse someone, we are usually implying that the other person does not know the person well enough.
If they didn't promote Ji Yuan, they really didn't know him well.
The emperor was also amazed at Ji Yuan.
I thought winning six prizes in a row was pretty good, but I didn't expect he was such a talent.
Prime Minister Li has been enduring criticism from many people for several months, and this time he finally got his revenge.
This feeling of “winning without doing anything” is really great.
He did nothing, but he still gained the upper hand in this confrontation again.
At the court meeting, Prime Minister Li even said slowly: "Don't forget, it will take at least two months to send a letter from Ning'an Prefecture."
"The content of the document now only refers to what happened at the end of September of the era."
"After all this time, do you think he will achieve anything?"
Everyone was silent.
That seems to be the case!
The news from the capital was delayed by nearly two months.
So they were shocked by the achievements from June to September of the era.
What did he do from September to November?
Isn't this kind of person a bit scary???
Who put him in such a remote place?
What the hell are these eyes like?
The Fifth Prince's pupils trembled.
When Ji Yuan was promoted out of turn, some people started laughing at him.
Once this letter arrived, his reputation would be ruined.
Let’s guess a little more about Ji Yuan’s future achievements.
hehe.
No matter how dumb a person is, he knows how he will be laughed at.
Such a person still wants to be the crown prince?
What are you dreaming about?
Even the emperor, who often gets sick in winter, did not want to use the Fifth Prince to balance the situation this time.
no way.
Now whenever I see him, I think of Ji Yuan and the opinions of many court officials on this matter.
His youngest son is more suitable for eating, drinking and having fun.
The situation in the court is unknown.
What they don’t know is that many people are still waiting for his next achievement.
Some people are deliberately fanning the flames, while others are truly looking forward to it.
He just changed into his new official uniform.
Officials of the fourth rank naturally wore dark crimson official uniforms made of fine silk.
The waistband changed from a silver belt to a gold belt.
The pattern on the clothes changed from herons to clouds and geese.
The red official uniform is made of eleven gold ornaments as a belt, and the beautifully embroidered geese look like they are about to spread their wings and fly high.
Ji Yuan, who had just turned sixteen, put on such clothes.
If he didn't look like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, no one would have called him Ji Zhizhou.
This official uniform of the central court was actually completely different from the local temperament, but as soon as Ji Yuan put on this official uniform, he was accepted by the locals.
Ji Yuan, Ji Zhizhou.
In fact, even without this official uniform, the people of Ning'an Prefecture also thought he was powerful.
Now that he is wearing the official uniform of a fourth-rank official, he actually gives people a feeling.
Ah, it feels like the court has finally opened its eyes.
It’s no wonder that everyone thinks this way, it’s because the imperial court is so inhumane.
Such a powerful person can be thrown to a remote place just like that.
On November 29, Ji Zhizhou officially took office.
Ning'an Prefecture, he has been here for less than half a year, but he has already established close ties with this place.
He knew that the locals could use flavor to the fullest when eating.
Know the experience of the woodcutters in Yangliuzhai.
I know that the fermented glutinous rice made by the grandma in Baiyue Village is the most delicious.
I also know how closely the mountains, springs, mountain land and water sources are connected to the local people.
I also listened to many local legendary stories with fantasy elements.
Ji Yuan heard and recorded all their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
Each mountain represents the life of a group of people.
And the Ning'an Prefecture's prefectural government office was finally occupied by someone.
Knowing that Lord Ji would become the prefect and would live here, many people came early to help with cleaning.
Especially people in the dyeing workshop.
Most of the people working in dyeing workshops are women, and the fabrics they make are gorgeous and beautiful.
The glue-brushing process of Jiyuan allows this beauty to be preserved for a very long time.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Ning’an Prefecture’s dyeing factories have already grown to a certain scale.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning.
The colors of local fabrics are unmatched.
Coupled with their excellent dyeing technology, the entire Tianqi Kingdom will be fascinated by them.
The other part was the villagers who came to the city to buy after hearing about this incident.
Hey, why bring up these things? Ji Zhizhou’s affairs are their business.
Let me ask, what exactly does the prefect do?
Most people can't explain it, so they can only answer: "He is in charge of everything. The whole Ning'an Prefecture listens to him."
This answer will definitely satisfy most people.
OK!
They just like to listen to Epoch Times.
As for the last group of people, it is something no one would have expected.
It is outside Ning'an Prefecture.
They were mainly shoe merchants from all over Dianzhou Prefecture.
When they heard that Ning Anzhou made waterproof shoes, they immediately came over.
These shoes!
They bought it!
Why?
They are afraid that if Ning'anzhou's rubber-soled shoes can be produced on a large scale, they will be finished.
Just like the dyed cloth of Ning'an Prefecture, it quickly swept the entire Dianzhou Prefecture.
But after they arrived, they found that the local Ning'an Prefecture did not intend to monopolize the business.
They said they only made the soles and then sold a coating that went on the uppers.
How to make shoes and what styles to choose depends entirely on the shoe merchants themselves.
In modern times, Ning'anzhou is only responsible for one link in the industrial chain, and it is the most core technology.
Everything else is outsourced.
It not only maintains the competitiveness of your family, but also ensures that everyone has food to eat.
Besides, this rule was also instructed by the new prefect.
Just based on this one reason.
Not to mention cleaning a house for Ji Zhizhou, everyone would be willing to even build one for him.
When mentioning this matter, Ji Yuan only told Liu Tong privately: "This way, more shoe merchants will come."
"It's not easy for them to come here, so they won't come empty-handed. They will definitely bring some supplies to sell. They can make more money, and we can also have more abundant supplies."
Just like modern trucks and ships.
If the truck runs empty, it means a net loss.
It is reasonable to transport goods both ways.
The same goes for merchants who come to Ning'an Prefecture to do business.
If you travel through mountains and rivers, you must bring some supplies with you.
All economics and development must flow.
In fact, the situation in Ning'an Prefecture is not really poor or backward.
At least you can get enough to eat locally, and even if you go to the mountains to pick fruits, there are endless fruits to eat.
There is no question of being backward.
From the perspective of Ji Yuan, the local terraces are already very good, and he has only made some optimizations for later generations.
What is lacking locally is communication.
The unexpected success of the dyeing workshop allowed Ji Yuan to confirm this once again.
If it weren’t for the fabrics from the dyeing workshop, more fabric merchants would have been attracted.
Their local supplies will not be as abundant as this year.
No matter what supplies you buy, it all depends on the timber merchants.
Now, dozens of villages in Ning'an Prefecture have basically reserved ducklings. After the spring, many people who come to do business will bring the ducklings that the locals want.
As for the fry.
Several local families took advantage of the free time to dig ponds and raise fish.
What fish fry to buy? There are plenty of them locally!
As long as we communicate, everything will be fine.
People say that money is like running water, it must be constant and flowing.
The same goes for popularity.
Even the place is the same.
As for making money?
Are you kidding? Making rubber soles, how can you not make money?
What are you thinking about!
The first thing Ji Zhizhou did when he took office was to build a relatively complete chain.
First, the original woodcutters changed to only looking for water wax gourd trees.
For one thing, these trees grow relatively short, and both the bark and the trunks can be sold.
The trunks were sold to timber collectors as before.
The bark then enters the next process.
Making rubber.
Actually, not many people are needed for this part.
The Baiyue Village that we visited before the era became the middle link.
Some of them also moved from the mountains to the foot of the mountains, collecting tree bark sent from various villages to obtain rare rubber.
This part of rubber is also divided into two parts, one part is given to the dyeing workshop, and the other part is provided to the workshop for making rubber soles.
So how do we divide it?
It depends on the carpenter.
Ji Yuan gathered lumberjacks, such as the villagers of Yangliuzhai, and formed a lumberjack association.
There are eleven consuls in the Lumberjack Club, who are elected by the Lumberjack Club.
These eleven people will discuss the proportion allocated to the dyeing workshop and the sole workshop each year.
Whoever pays more will get a larger proportion of rubber.
And this money is the silver earned by the carpenters.
The people of Baiyue Village are not allowed to participate in any vote because they hold technical skills.
If reported, the specific method of making rubber will be made public immediately.
This is controlled by Jiyuan. If Baiyue Village wants to protect this wealth, it will definitely not say or do anything rash.
They seem critical, but they are also the most vulnerable.
Because their Ji Zhizhou is really capable of doing such a thing.
An Dahai and Wu Renhao also asked that this was not a long-term solution. It was inevitable that some people in Baiyue Village would be greedy for profit and be bribed to secretly support the dyeing factory or rubber sole workshop.
An Dahai asked again: "Ji Yuan, have you been prepared?"
Of course.
Ji Yuan: "It's only a matter of time before the method of making rubber spreads out. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and it's not too difficult to make. Look at what materials the Baiyue Village buys and what they do on a daily basis, and many people will slowly guess it."
So this so-called technology will become part of the production process in the future.
But Ji Yuan wants the progress to be slower.
After the woodcutters make rubber and then go to the dyeing factories and rubber sole workshops below, a balance of power is gradually formed and industry rules are determined, it will be most appropriate for the technology to flow out.
Otherwise, if we suddenly tell everyone about this technology, many places will probably fall into chaos.
The first to be oppressed are definitely the carpenters on the front line of production.
The people behind in the chain will reap the benefits.
To put it simply.
Ji Yuan must first expand the logging association and let the loggers know that their lives have value.
It's not that you're dead.
If it is not eaten by wild beasts, it will be eaten.
A living being disappears without leaving any body. This is not their fate.
If they get injured, the dyeing factories behind them will have to pay for it.
If they unfortunately pass away, the rubber sole workshops and even the merchants who sell shoes will give compensation.
Even if they have been wronged, they must teach those people a lesson.
Ji Yuan also wants to let the hardest-working lumberjacks understand that if they unite together, no one can bully them.
Maybe even aware.
Those who buy the timber from the timber guilds also need to be responsible for them.
The bark was given to the people on the other side.
But the trunks were given to the timber merchant.
Why don't you, the people from the Timber Association, take responsibility?
Logging trees is a serious profession.
Death is not deserved.
Someone who benefits must always be held responsible.
Ji Yuan wants to whet their appetites and satisfy their ambitions.
Best to become what those people call a “mob”.
Only when that day comes will technology be able to flow out, because by then, technology will no longer be important and will not threaten the status of those who actually do things.
The villagers of Baiyue Village don’t have to be afraid. After all, their skills are the most mature. As long as they don’t just slack off every day, there will still be a lot of jobs waiting for them.
But this matter cannot be talked about, no one can tell it.
Because when there are thousands or tens of thousands of logging guild members among the more than 200,000 people in Ning'an Prefecture, he will be shocked: "How can these people be like this!"
Ji Yuan has secretly practiced this expression.
I guess it will have to be performed one day.
Ji Yuan is quite looking forward to that day.
I want to see the "momentum" of the Ning'an State Logging Association.
Loggers elsewhere would also organize.
In his Ning'an Prefecture, dyed cloth and rubber are the local specialties, as is logging.
Although the lumberjacks are now confused.
But everyone is positive.
This is what Ji Zhizhou said!
Don't you listen?
Anyone who doesn't listen is a fool!
There was a fool in the yamen, I won’t tell you who he was, but he didn’t seize the opportunity and is almost dead!
After Ji Zhizhou finished this task, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After finishing the last item, which stated that sustainable development requires not only cutting down trees but also planting trees, Ji Yuan finally closed the document.
When others took office, there were constant banquets, but when he took office, there were constant paperwork.
It's been a long time since we last had a governor, so there are really too many things to do.
Liu Tongzhi seems to be floating when he walks lately.
Some people also asked strange questions, such as: "You used to be the most important official in Ning'an Prefecture, but now you are the second. Isn't it uncomfortable?"
Liu Tongzhi sneered.
A summer insect cannot talk about ice.
Do you know how much tax Ning'an Prefecture collected this year?
Do you know?
Do you know the joy of getting your previous monthly salary repaid?
Needless to say, the dyeing workshop had become the local pillar industry as early as October.
The current rubber shoe sole workshop has only been open for half a month, but it has caused a significant increase in local business taxes.
This year is the last year of fifty years of no taxes, but so much tax was unexpectedly added.
All this silver and money belongs to Ning'anzhou!
That's not right. The document he sent out in November was still requesting that local governments continue to not pay taxes or reduce taxes by half.
Maybe, maybe I won’t pay it next year?
While Liu Tongzhi was still happily settling accounts, Ji Yuan issued another document.
The content of the document is even the responsibilities at the beginning of the era.
When he was sent to Ning'an Prefecture, his position was the head of the Warehouse Department under the Household Department, in charge of warehouses, disaster relief, and so on.
In the thirty-eighth year of Huayuan, the local area suffered a disaster, but the relief that should have been provided was never given.
Until the end of the 39th year of Huayuan, it seemed that no one mentioned it.
After all, everyone's life is getting better and better.
Besides, it’s mid-December now and everyone is looking forward to the Chinese New Year.
Although local customs are different from those in the Central Plains, and the most important festival is not New Year's Eve.
But who wouldn’t want to have a festive and lively festival?
Ji Yuan still remembers it.
It just so happened that the government now had tax revenue, and he wanted to distribute relief grain to each village according to the severity of the disaster at the time.
The relief grain arrived more than a year late.
When the local people got it, they were even a little confused.
How much time has passed?
We have had a good harvest this year, and in a few months we will have to start spring ploughing.
This, this is not needed by everyone.
The constables who came to distribute the relief grain followed the instructions of Ji Zhizhou and said seriously: "You are the people of Tianqi State. You will have to pay taxes to Tianqi State in the future. It is natural for the court to protect you."
"If I don't protect you when you are in trouble, that would be unreasonable."
It seems so.
They are the people of Tianqi Kingdom.
When a natural disaster strikes, someone should help.
Because the people of Tianqi Kingdom all pay taxes.
They are not far from that day.
Because Lord Liu had been reminding everyone before, the locals were aware of the issue of paying taxes.
Of course, resistance is still resistance.
Thinking of this, the people of Ning'an Prefecture, which was the farthest away from Tianqi State, felt the reality of Tianqi State for the first time.
I also had a better understanding of the fact that they were the responsibility of the court.
The 20th day of the twelfth month, the 39th year of Huayuan.
In his hometown or in the capital, it would have been freezing cold by now.
However, in Dianzhou Prefecture and Ning'an Prefecture, people only need to wear slightly thicker clothes to keep warm in the morning and evening, and the rest is up to you.
Ji Yuan sighed: "This kind of weather is really suitable for reading."
“All seasons are suitable for reading.”
An Dahai and Wu Renhao looked over at the same time.
One of them was a classmate of Ji Yuan, and the other had long heard of Ji Yuan's name.
At this moment, I can't help but want to punch him. Stop rolling around. You've already got the first place, okay?
Ji Yuan had no choice but to say, "That's what I said."
It’s so cold in winter, I don’t even want to read without charcoal fire.
Look at this, it must be very comfortable to read in the winter sun.
So it’s a pity that local children of school age cannot go to school.
There is an urgent need for an official school here.
It would be better to let the people in the logging association learn it as well, so that it will be more convenient to do things.
The thirty-nine years of Huayuan have not yet ended, but the plan for the forty years of Huayuan is already in my mind.
In the end, Xiao Huang pushed him out of the door, and he put down his official duties and went out for a walk.
Walking on the streets of Ning'an City, even though Ji Yuan was wearing casual clothes, he was still recognized by many people.
He is elegant, handsome, and whiter than the locals.
This is their Ji Zhizhou.
Ji Yuan smiled and looked friendly, so everyone dared to talk to him and said, "I cook red bean rice at home, please try it."
"I'm going to light the lights at my house. You can go and have a look."
"The dragon and fish parade made by our neighbor is still the most beautiful."
These are local customs.
When the Chinese New Year is approaching, we have to eat red bean rice, because it is said that Gonggong had seven untalented sons who turned into evil spirits after their death. Evil spirits are most afraid of red beans. As long as you eat red bean rice, you will not be afraid of evil spirits.
Ji Yuan enjoyed listening to various local operas.
Speaking of red bean rice, I think of Miss Cheng from Beijing. She likes sweet food, but her family is afraid of bad teeth, so she prefers to eat soft and sticky red bean rice.
The other questions and answers are fine.
But an old lady looked at Ji Zhizhou, then at his cows, and couldn't help but said, "Grandma, I also want to ask you something."
Ji Yuan looked over and saw that she was hesitant in her words, so he thought the old lady was hiding something.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the old lady opened her mouth, everyone froze.
"Master Ji, your cow looks very strong. Can you bring it to my farm for breeding?"
The old lady said embarrassedly: "This is the strongest bull I have ever seen. It will definitely produce a healthy calf."
The old lady's previous sentence made Xiao Huang hold his head high.
When he said the last sentence, his little brass bell-like eyes were filled with fear. Will he be shy later?
Ji Yuan looked at it carefully.
There was really shyness in Xiao Huang's eyes.
Judging from the time, Xiao Huang should have been bred long ago?
This shocked the world and turned into an era.
This, this is also okay?
Ji Yuan said: "You can take a look, it depends on whether Xiao Huang likes it."
Xiao Huang went from being frightened to being excited.
You little yellow!
It’s really become a spirit!
Ji Yuan finally managed to go out, and he took Xiao Huang with him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan just nodded.
People were pouring in from all around.
"My family! I also have cows of the right age."
"Xiao Huang, come to my house."
"Master Ji, please don't run, Master Ji, please."
Master Xiaoji has to run away.
He might as well be at home making plans for next year!
It is urgent to increase the local per capita oxen rate and improve the physical fitness of local oxen! We must act now!
