213 The Emperor visits Danyang County privately
That day.
A "caravan" with dozens of carriages and cars rumbled away from Jinling City under the escort of an "dart guard" of an imperial guard disguised as a "dart guard" and headed straight for Danyang County a hundred miles away.
Emperor Xiang Yanran, Kong Hanyou, Wang Su and more than ten ministers of the three dukes and nine ministers disguised as merchants in a large caravan to conduct a "secret private visit" to Danyang County.
In order to prevent officials from cheating and committing fraud, they of course did not notify Danyang County in advance, and the emperor and the emperor wanted to inspect Danyang County.
Along the way, the ministers were talking.
"The emperor still valued Xiaohunhou very much, for fear that someone would frame Xiaohunhou, so he actually visited Danyang County in a private manner to verify the political achievements of the Danyang County Magistrate."
"But so what? In the face of the iron-like facts, no matter how Xiaohunhou clarified, it would be useless! The more the emperor valued him, the more disappointed he would be."
"The little Hunhou is finally in trouble. I will never see him struggling in the court again!"
"Hmph, I'm asking for it! He offended many people... No, he offended everyone. The officials, princes, and clans of the court, don't hate him!"
"Haha, I will miss him in the future!"
All the ministers changed into ordinary merchant traffickers' clothes, sat in the crowded carriage, chatting and laughing, and were very proud.
Two three men were sitting in one of the carriages.
Kong Hanyou glanced at Wang Su and said lightly: "After inspecting Danyang County, I have obtained iron evidence. I wonder how the Censor is going to write a copy of Xiaohunhou?"
"The censor can only supervise. How to punish the crime is the matter of the Tingwei Mansion, and it is also the Prime Minister's business. Do you have an idea in your heart?"
Wang Su said with a smile.
"Regularly, the county magistrate falsely reported his achievements in the national political achievements test, which is a death sentence.
However, the emperor valued the relationship between love and the relationship between King Ping, so he would definitely try his best to save his life. Princess Danyang went to Queen Mother Shen's place and cried, and he would definitely save his life.
It is still difficult to punish him as a marquis for death unless it is not a traitor.
Since this is the case, then we should settle for the second best. Death crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped.
This time, I deprived him of the position of marquis and the position of magistrate of Danyang County, so that he could no longer participate in the government affairs in his life, which is enough!
A civilian with no official or no title will never pose a threat to anyone again! Who would want to kill him? Let Xiaohunhou... Chu Tianxiu write his book well, then "Journey to the West" is quite interesting!"
"Wonderful! As the Prime Minister said, I will definitely support you!"
Kong Hanyou and Wang Su looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Xiao Hunhou decided his final destiny in a few words between the two three ministers and ministers.
The third faction that has not yet risen in the court, the new faction of the Miscellaneous Family.
The leader of the new force, Xiaohunhou, disappeared intovisible under the joint suppression of their two forces. Once Xiaohunhou fell, the new force would definitely be divided up by the two factions.
...
At noon, the caravan with hundreds of people walked fifty miles and "rumbled" into the edge of Danyang County.
The ministers laughed and talked for half a day, their mouths and tongues were dry and they were a little tired, and they gradually calmed down.
suddenly.
A minister was in the carriage and saw a huge thing faintly outside the carriage window, standing tall on the ground of the river, nearly ten feet tall.
Too tall, it is definitely not a house.
And, it was turning faintly.
A gorgeous rainbow surrounds the sky around this giant object, striking and dazzling.
"Huh, what is that?"
The minister was surprised and pointed at it.
The ministers followed the direction and looked over. Almost all of them, the three ministers and nine ministers, were over fifty or sixty years old, and they didn't see it very clearly.
As the convoy got closer, they finally saw clearly and were shocked.
I saw, in the river.
A giant water truck of ten feet was slowly turning, "guruguru", sending the water from the bottom of the river into the air. The water flowed from the sky, and the roaring sound of water was shocking.
This huge stream of water flowed along a long ditche made of wooden boards and bamboo tubes, several meters above the ground, crossed the earth slope and flowed ten miles away.
Fill into a pond in the high slope.
Then water flows out of this pond continuously and irrigates the surrounding farmland ten miles away.
Such a giant water truck can irrigate the farmland in a radius of ten miles around, and the efficiency is obviously surprisingly high.
Along the way, they saw many such giant water trucks, at least dozens of them. There were more small water trucks, countless.
The ministers were shocked to see it and fell silent for a moment.
Building a large number of such water trucks requires a lot of money.
It costs at least tens of thousands of taels!
However, Danyang County is a poor county, and it is good to have more than a few thousand taels of emergency money.
Where does Danyang County get the money?
It can’t be Xiao Hunhou, Princess Danyang pays for the advance payment by herself, right?
This is almost impossible. Which family of the princes does not collect cash from the fiefdom? How could they make money for the fiefdom instead?
Such a large sum of money was invested in farmland, but the tax grain paid by the farmers was fixed. You should not collect a large amount of tax grain just because you built a water truck.
If you invest this capital, you can't even collect it.
...
After entering the boundaries of Danyang County.
The atmosphere inside this "caravan" has changed a little.
They found that what they saw along the way was very different from other places.
Even at the foot of the imperial city, it is completely different from Danyang County.
The fields in Danyang County are like a countryside. There are elderly farmers and herdsmen everywhere, walking leisurely among the fields with plowing oxen without any worries.
After the autumn harvest, summer farming will be soon.
Danyang County is using oxen to plow the fields, plow the land, and prepare for summer plowing.
There is almost no sight of the middle-aged man appearing in the fields.
"Where are those young and middle-aged people... all of them have been recruited for labor service?"
The ministers were confused, but they remained silent.
...
This huge "caravan" from Jinling City was about to arrive in Danyang County.
I saw that this small Danyang County town was like a major trading town, with extremely lush merchants.
On this post road, there are traveling merchants and small caravans coming from all directions.
Judging from their clothes, they are almost all vendors.
Emperor Xiang Yanran poked his head out of the carriage, shouted at a traveling businessman, "Hey, brother, why are you going to Danyang County?"
The businessman in the craftsman saw the noble businessman sitting in the luxurious carriage and was a little puzzled, saying, "Buy iron tools! Danyang iron tools are the best in the world. Farm tools for plowing fields, kitchen knives, kitchen knives, iron hammers, and drills are all available!
If you buy a batch of goods and take them to sell anywhere, it is absolutely easy to sell, and you are rushing to buy them!... Master, if you go to Danyang County and don’t sell ironware, what are you going to do?"
"Oh, Danyang ironware is so easy to use? I am a silk dealer. I have a batch of goods from Jinling City... I pass by Danyang County and am preparing to go to Changsha."
Xiang Yanran was surprised and thoughtful.
There is an iron mine in Danyang County that produces iron tools, which is not surprising. However, the iron tools in Danyang County are not very famous, so why did they suddenly become famous?!
"No wonder Brother Taiwan's caravan is so big, with hundreds of people. It turns out that it is a silk business, which is a good business!
However, the ironware in Danyang County is now more popular than silk. We will have to wait several days before we can get the goods in Danyang County to buy ironware.
If you buy a batch of Danyang ironware and take it to Changsha to sell, you might be able to make a lot of money."
