33, farming
After hearing his father's words, Shi Jinrou thought for a while and said, "Dad, this is the first thing. In short, there were dedicated people in charge of these things before. Don't think that the new official took office three times. Just let them continue to do it. If you do well, not only will you stay in the position, but also reward; if you don't do well, you will be replaced at that time." This is also the work experience accumulated by Shi Jinrou in her previous life. Those leaders who arranged their own people as soon as they took office are often unpopular.
Ishihara Hai heard this and nodded, "Xiao Rou's words are reasonable, and it is the right way to rank people based on their merits."
Shi Jinrou smiled and continued, "This second item is simple. Now the largest and best restaurant in the city is called Furongju. In a few days, you will set up a few tables of banquets in Furongju and invite all the well-known families in the county to come over. Everyone has a meal, wouldn't it be enough to meet them?"
Ishihara Hashi was a little confused about his daughter's suggestions. He had no experience as an official. Although the two things he said just now were not very difficult, at least they made him feel a little difficult to deal with. But in his daughter's mouth, these two things were simple. Is it really as easy as his daughter said?
Ishihara Hai looked at his daughter, and after a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Just follow Xiaorou's words."
He decided to accept his daughter's advice for the simple reason. He believed in his daughter's intelligence. In his opinion, the dowry that he could not have been returned was actually asked to come back. Just for this, he also decided to try his daughter's method.
Shi Jinrou was not surprised that her father accepted her advice, because those suggestions were all her experiences. And in her opinion, the two things her father said were trivial matters.
"Dad, my daughter has something to discuss with you." Shi Jinrou quickly changed the topic.
"Did Xiaorou have any new plans?" Ishihara Hai's thinking was still on the matter of his daughter calculating his wife's dowry. No, he wanted to return his wife's dowry.
Shi Jinrou didn't know what Ishihara was thinking, but just followed her own thoughts and said: "That's right. When the cow seller Wei Wanxing came today, his daughter inquired about farming with him."
"Does Xiaorou want to buy land?" Buying a house and land is a sign of better and better life. The ancients believed it deeply, and Ishihara Hai was no exception.
"Where is it! My daughter didn't want to settle here, why are you buying land?!" Shi Jinrou said angrily.
"That Xiaorou means..."
"This is how my daughter thinks. First, my father comes forward and invites Wei Wanxing and a farming expert named Gao Yuansheng in Gaojiazhuang to the county government to talk to them. See if we can ask them to be farming masters in the name of the government, teach them their farming experience to others, and increase the grain output in the county. Of course, we will not let them teach in vain, and then let them get a wage in the yamen."
Hiro Ishihara thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes. There are specialists in the county office's workshops responsible for farmland water conservancy and encourage farmers. Then, let the two farming experts you mentioned follow them."
When Shi Jinrou heard this, she immediately corrected: "Dad, it's not about letting them follow the people in the workshop, but about letting the people in the workshop follow them, and it's best to record Wei Wanxing and the others' experience in the book."
Ishihara Hashi understood what his daughter meant after a moment of thinking: "I know. I will continue to explain it to the workshop people to learn carefully and record all the related things."
Shi Jinrou nodded with a smile.
"Is there anything else in Xiaorou?" Ishihara Hai said again.
"There is one more thing." Shi Jinrou replied, and went back to the house and took out a picture of the terraced fields drawn in the afternoon and placed it on the table.
Ishihara Hai looked at the "strange picture" for no reason.
Shi Jinrou smiled slightly and explained: "Dad, I heard from Wei Wanxing that there are many deserted hillsides here in Yi'an, which cannot be cultivated due to conditions. My daughter thought about it in the afternoon and said that if the hillsides were built like this, she might be able to grow food..." Then she carefully explained the content on the drawings.
Ishihara Hai looked at the terraced fields and murmured: "I'm worried about this these two days. There is not much arable land in Yi'an, and the tax burden is inevitably tight. If you can reclaim more arable land that can produce grain, it's best."
Ishihara Hai frowned and thought for a while, then rubbed the lines on the drawing with his fingers. After a while, he asked hesitantly: "Xiaorou, where did you get this method? Can it work?"
Shi Jinrou said in her heart: "Of course it can do it!" However, she said, "Can it do it? How can I know if I don't try it?"
After hearing this, Ishihara Hai walked back and forth around the room with his hands behind his back, and finally made up his mind to nod.
Shi Jinrou was not in a hurry to speak. Everyone had different ability to accept new things, and she had to give her father time to consider.
Seeing his father nodding, Shi Jinrou said, "Dad, this method can be tried. Anyway, the hillsides are also deserted. However, if you don't see the benefits, no one is willing to try it. It would be better to introduce a policy that all the reclaimed land belongs to the reclaimers. Moreover, in the past two years, no tax burden was charged regardless of whether there was production or not. In this way, everyone would be enthusiastic about doing it. What do dad think?"
Ishihara Hai looked at his daughter drowningly and said with a smile: "Xiao Rou has thought about everything. What else can she think of her father? Just follow Xiao Rou's method."
Shi Jinrou pouted and muttered: "But the problem is that it will be the first to achieve results in this matter, and maybe even later. By then, Dad may not have been the county magistrate of Yian for a long time."
But Ishihara Hai waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay! This matter is related to people's livelihood and is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. If I get the credit, it's good, and it doesn't matter if I don't get it. I don't seek fame for my father and I just want to do something practical for the people of Yi'an."
Shi Jinrou sighed, OK, even if their father and daughter have accumulated good deeds.
