Chapter 413 This question is beyond the outline
In addition to examining the pirate heads, Fan Huailiang also had another purpose in coming to Shanyun County, and that was salt. As for his inner thoughts, it is self-evident.
Wen Jiuxiao was very generous and didn't hide anything at all. He took Fan Huailiang and his group directly to the salt fields by the sea. Not only did they let them look around, he also called the salt workers to introduce them to them.
Such an open approach made everyone have a good impression of Wen Jiuxiao.
Wen Jiuxiao pointed to the simple shack that was built and said: "...They live and eat here, and they can't live without people day and night. Your Excellency also knows that pirates are rampant in Shanyun County, and they are afraid that they will cause harm to the salt fields.
If we dare to open more, the output of these ten acres of salt fields will be enough for the people of Shanyun County to use salt every day. Xiaguan also wants to open more, but there is really a shortage of manpower. Shanyun County is too poor, and it is not easy to find a way to dry salt.
, to make the people's life easier, I am very cautious, and I am always worried about pirates and looting, just for fear that they will destroy the salt fields."
Wen Jiuxiao was very lucky that when the salt fields were opened, they were not opened together. The small salt fields of more than ten acres here were specially used to show the people above. There is also a large salt field in a more hidden place, with more than 100 acres of salt fields.
As for my mother, it was not an exaggeration to say that Yu Zhi was extremely rich.
When the others heard Wen Jiuxiao and the magistrate crying about poverty, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Poor? Shanyun County was really poor in the past. Where is Shanyun County poor now? The city walls and roads are better built than those in Fucheng, and the sea water can be salted. Didn't you see that their eyes are red with envy?
Someone then said, "Master Wen, if Shanyun County is poor, we people will have no place to stand. If nothing else, your streets are so spacious, who wouldn't look at it warmly?"
It's still very sour, but just by looking at the attitude of the prefect, you can tell that Magistrate Wen has someone in his court, and no one is stupid enough to offend him. No, even the sourness is half a joke.
Some people echoed, "Yes, yes, that big house next to the county government is really grand, doesn't it cost a lot of money?" They cautiously probed.
"What I envy the most is the salt fields in your Shanyun County. Hey, the salt from Baihuahua." It's not just the salt from Baihuahua, it's the silver from Baihuahua.
…
Everyone was talking a lot, Wen Jiuxiao listened silently, and then said: "It did cost a lot of money." Then the conversation changed, "But it was all the wife's dowry. Wen was from a good background, and his parents gave birth to a child.
With such a good face, I am fortunate enough to be favored by my wife. Mrs. Wen is the only daughter in the family, and her father-in-law loves her very much, so she married Mrs. Wen with a lot of love and support. Only then did Wen have the confidence to be where she is today."
Everyone looked at Wen Jiuxiao and were all shocked. How could Master Wen talk so confidently about eating soft food? Hey, after a long day of work, Master Wen repaired the city walls and roads in Shanyun County with his own money.
Oh no, it’s money from the wife’s dowry.
Isn't being an official just for getting rich? Why is it the other way around, Mr. Wen? Isn't it stupid to spend your own money in exchange for official reputation, or so much money?
Everyone thinks this behavior is too stupid, but why are they so envious in their hearts? I envy Mr. Wen that he has a rich and good wife. I envy his wife who is so kind to him. She lets him use all the dowry and money. I envy Mr. Wen.
Speaking of Madam's proud look, do you think they can't see it with a sullen face?
Everyone who was so dazzled felt even more sad in their hearts, and their teeth were sore.
For a moment, everyone looked at Wen Jiuxiao with extremely complicated expressions.
Fan Huailiang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. This noble young man from the capital had a cold and aloof look, but he didn't expect him to be such a gentleman.
The prefect stayed in Shanyun County for two days and then returned home. As the chief official of a state, Fan Huailiang could not leave the prefecture for a long time.
He was very satisfied with this trip to Shanyun County. The implementation of the salt fields and the four hundred pirate heads were all attributed to Wen Jiuxiao, but they were also his political achievements as a high-ranking official.
】
Of course, what he was most satisfied with was Wen Jiuxiao's knowledge and knowledge. She did everything well without him having to hint. There was a cart full of salt, five jars of wine, and all kinds of mountain products and seafood... He was so good at dancing.
The all-round and exquisite methods have to be admired.
As for the Yan family and the Ma family, well, how much wealth can a wealthy landlord in a remote rural area have? Fan Huailiang simply ignored it.
If Yu Zhi knew that Wen Jiuxiao had such an impression in the mind of the magistrate, he would definitely sneer at him. Good at dancing with long sleeves? Elegant on all sides? Mr. Wen was not born with these two words, okay? Those things were all done by the people below, and he supported them.
It's just a generous amount.
The subordinate officials who followed Fan Huailiang also received gifts from Wen Jiuxiao, and they were very satisfied with them. Except for salt, they had whatever the prefect had, but the quantity was smaller.
The prefect ate meat, and they also drank broth.
They heard that the county magistrate was really good at being a good person, but he was a little henpecked. In the past two days, they heard him mention his wife from time to time. Anyone who had a good meal at the banquet did not forget to tell the kitchen to make a portion for his wife.
Tell me, how come such a noble and noble young master from a noble family has such a weak husband? But they can understand it, after all, they spent so much money on the dowry, haha...
After school, the little kid rushed into the yard with his schoolbag on his back and said, "Mom, mom, today I taught you the 'Four Sentences of Hengqu'." His expression was so excited that he was sweating all over his forehead.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, cut off learning to go to the saints, and create peace for all generations." Yu Zhi carried it on his back and moved away from him without leaving any trace.
The little boy didn't notice the old mother's disdain at all, and nodded in surprise, "Can Mom do the same?"
"Of course, my mother knows a lot."
The little kid didn't think there was anything wrong at all. In his mind, Mom is very powerful, so it's normal for her to know a lot. He blinked his eyes and said, "Mom, what do these four sentences mean? Master said I'll teach you in class tomorrow, so you teach first
Teach me. The master said these four sentences were from Mr. Hengqu. He was a wise man and was respected by the world. He also said that if you can do what Hengqu taught you, you can become a very great person."
Yu Zhi's hand paused in the air. She could memorize four sentences from Hengqu, thanks to her former Chinese teacher. What does it mean? How does she know? Anyway, it's about serving the country and the people!
Son, I'm really sorry, your question went too far. If you ask about Mr. Hengqu's unofficial history, my mother might be able to compile one for you.
Mom doesn’t know this question, but she can’t let you know.
Wait a moment and let me think of how to fool you.
"Master, it's not like I didn't tell you. Why do you want to know in advance? What surprises will there be tomorrow? Mom, I think it's enough for you to recite these four sentences." Yu Zhi said seriously.
The little boy blinked his eyes, a little confused, as if he was saying, is that so?
That's it! Yu Zhi was very sure, "Besides, most masters don't like others to teach their students indiscriminately. Go ahead, son, and do your homework!"
Smile and speak softly but firmly.
The little boy was deceived by her and left.
