Chapter 980 Queen Mother 20
But would Liu Cheng be afraid of these? He certainly attaches great importance to his own virtues when he can be the Minister of Justice. If he wants to bribe him and make him turn a blind eye, he is simply looking for the wrong person.
Although he faces many dangers as soon as he comes, the more dangerous it is, the more motivated Liu Cheng is. Isn’t it because of their arrival that makes the other party panic?
Xu Qing has been in the north for three months. He has been investigating day and night in the past three months and has obtained a lot of information. As soon as Liu Cheng and Ye Yunluo came over, he sent the information he had.
Liu Cheng was furious. If these were placed in the treasury, how many things would they do? But now it has flowed into the pockets of these corrupt officials.
Before leaving, Jiang Chan once said that Liu Cheng had great autonomy when he came out to handle the case this time. Unless he was really serious, he needed to be escorted to Beijing for disposal. Other Liu Cheng could deal with it and come back to report his work directly at that time.
Therefore, Liu Cheng was relaxed in the northern counties. He was known as a cruel official. It was not that he was cruel, but that he was familiar with the law and was sentenced to the most severe.
But I just wanted to pick up the tricks but couldn't find anything. This is Liu Cheng's cleverness.
In fact, Jiang Chanman agrees with his approach. You blame others for being sentenced too much, why don’t you reflect on yourself? Why can’t you abide by the law?
With the assistance of the northern garrison troops and the personal protection of Ye Yunluo and Xu Qing, Liu Cheng can be said to be in danger in the northern counties. In the northern dynasty, there were naturally a large number of house searches, beheadings or exiled, and everyone was praised for their favor.
The name of the Empress Dowager Jiang Chan's house search has spread from Lingnan to the north. Who doesn't know that the young empress dowager's best skills are the house search?
Jiang Chan was speechless about this title. How could she, a ruthless person, have such a terrifying nickname?
All the money obtained from the house search was charged to the treasury, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to reach out. The lessons of the past are still there. If they dare to have bad ideas, the examples of Wei Furen and others will be there.
Liu Cheng thoroughly investigated bureaucrats at all levels in the north, and it was so vigorous and Han Yao was not idle either. He and Liu Cheng had no intersection in his position. He investigated his case and developed his Shangqi County.
When the two of them were doing their own things, the first batch of sweet potatoes were sent to the north, which was escorted by the Grand Master. He also served as the promotion of sweet potatoes in the north. If it weren't for Jiang Chan's name, he wouldn't have come. After all, the corn, potatoes and other fields in the Beijing Experimental Field were about to harvest.
Han Yao was particularly welcome to the arrival of the Grand Secretary. Although he was in the north, Han Xiang had already written to tell him about the planting of sweet potatoes in the capital.
He was originally wondering if he wanted to go to the empress dowager to cry and cry in front of the empress dowager, but he didn't know that he chose the north as the first promotion point. He was so sleepy that he sent a pillow.
It was already March of the following year. After settling down, the Grand Secretary took many guards to visit various counties and taught everyone how to grow sweet potatoes.
In addition to the county magistrate's office, a notice board was specially set up, which read various precautions for sweet potatoes. Some minor officials were always guarding next to the notice board to explain to everyone.
It can be said that the north is particularly lively now. Naturally, some people hesitate and some take risks for this fresh crop.
"Uncle Qi, how many sweet potatoes did your family grow this time?"
"My family doesn't have much farming, so it's only five acres of land." An old farmer knocked his pipe, and his old face was a little regretful.
"That's not too much. I just planted one acre of land and collected about one hundred stones. Alas, I regret not having more than a lot of them now." The person on the opposite side patted his thighs, "Uncle Qi, have you planted so much, can you finish eating at home? Is this thing sold for the land?"
"Didn't the government buy sweet potatoes? My family is planning to sell four acres of sweet potatoes, and keep the rest for yourself. Didn't the government launch several kinds of sweet potato dishes?"
"This is true, the sweet potato production here is so high. If it is promoted to other places..."
The two looked at each other, "No wonder the government is buying sweet potatoes now. I guess it will be worthless when the sweet potatoes are promoted in the future."
"I didn't go for money originally." Uncle Qi leaned on the big tree: "I just wanted to add more food to my family."
"It's true, it's true, I'm not afraid of being hungry this year."
The two of them shook their heads, and the same scene also appeared in various places in the north. No one expected that the mentality of just giving it a try, but now it has brought such a great harvest, and sweet potatoes have suddenly become popular in the northern counties.
Nowadays, the northern counties can be said to be in good weather. With the fall of many corrupt officials, the administration in the northern part has reached an unprecedented Qingming Festival. The people in the northern part have ushered in an unprecedented spring. Now every family has food, food, clothes and clothes, and no longer soaked in bitter water like before.
This time, Liu Cheng and Ye Yunluo have been away for nearly a year, and many changes have occurred in the court. First of all, many officials who do not do practical things have been found by Jiang Chan and sent them from their hair to Qingshui Yamen to sit on the bench.
Don’t do practical things, think about being cheated all day long, and want to occupy such an important position? Dreaming. Jiang Chan is doing these things subtly. When everyone discovers, the important positions in the court are basically occupied by the rising stars.
For this result, everyone can only accept it.
Jiang Chan did not put the profits of his last trip to the sea, but most of them were allocated to the Ministry of Works. Now that the road is not developed, Jiang Chan especially misses the cement roads of modern society.
The cement formula has been given to the Ministry of Industry. Now with the support of money, the roads in the capital have undergone earth-shaking changes. At least Liu Cheng and Ye Yunluo feel particularly shocked.
Look at the spacious road, enough to accommodate six carriages to drive side by side. Then look at the shops on both sides of the road, etc., and it looks vibrant and extremely prosperous.
"This road is very well built. If there are such roads all over the country one day, it would be great."
Liu Cheng held the horse and said in a mess with Ye Yunluo. Unexpectedly, after a year of going out, they felt like they were a different life when they came back.
"There will be any, and such a road should be available across the country." Ye Yunluo was particularly surprised, "It will be more convenient for everyone to travel."
"You two haven't come back to the capital for a long time, right?" While waiting in line to enter the city, someone talked to them.
