After more than a year of training by Ye An and Fan Ziyuan, the officials of Sinong Temple have achieved high standards. Although they cannot be compared with the civil servants of later generations, their "professional level" is not bad.
Just because they are officials from the feudal era should not underestimate their abilities. On the contrary, officials in various yamen in Tokyo have their own unique "unique skills."
After all, you are a person who eats public food. If you don't have some skills, you will be abandoned by this complicated society very soon. Otherwise, you will have your own backing.
Ye An extremely hates those who rely on connections and backgrounds to get to the top, but he can't offend all of them. Don't underestimate these people. If you offend one person, you will probably offend a whole group of people.
Ye An still hopes that Sinong Temple can operate normally! Only by calculating the results of the autumn harvest and summer harvest can we truly grasp the power of Sinong Temple. By then, it will be up to Sinong Temple whether these people stay or go.
Forget it.
The officials of Sinong Temple are quite good. Although they have many small thoughts, under Ye An's mobilization, they still know that Sinong Temple will be very different in the future.
Although Ye An's reputation became bad because he saw off Wang Qinruo, the officials of Sinong Temple did not think so. They were a group of smart people and clearly saw the fact that the Yushitai did not attack Ye An.
In their opinion, this young minister of Sinong Temple was obviously a person who kept secrets. How fiercely did Wang Qinruo impeach him before? But in the end, he chose to risk the disapproval of the world and personally see off Wang Qinruo outside Dongjin City.
And after that, Wang Qinruo was actually retained! He was not pushed out of the court as rumored, but on the contrary, he was reused by the Tian family.
In the past, Wang Qinruo was avoided by everyone for fear of being classified as a member of the same party. However, after Ye An saw him off, he was still favored by the Tian family, which shows his status in the hearts of saints and officials.
The officials of Sinong Temple are not unserious, and the rewards are also obvious. Ye An's hot pot is not only prepared for himself and Fan Ziyuan, but also for the officials in Sinong Temple.
The combination of hot pot and fine wine is almost the best accelerator. Both Ye An and Fan Ziyuan are in the state. As for the officials at Sinong Temple, they are even patting their chests and guaranteeing that Kaifeng Mansion can be conquered within seven days.
The autumn harvest will be counted.
Zhou Guangzu is Ye An's confidant. This person is honest, but he also has a strong ambition. If you want to take advantage of such a person, you must naturally give him some rights. For example, Ye An promoted him as a
Your own subordinate officials are directly responsible for you, and they also have the important responsibility of verifying documents.
This has left Zhou Guangzu Le at a loss. As for other officials, they are even easier to handle. Some want money, some want power, some want fame, and some even want leisure. Ye An can invest in them.
What they want satisfies them.
For a time, the yamen of Sinong Temple were considered to be a monolithic unit, united under various goals, and moving towards the goal with all their strength.
Even Chen Lin, who had already seen Ye An's ability to "confuse people", was shocked by the Sinong Temple he had renovated.
He came to attack the front line. After he appeared, the entire temporary yamen of Sinong Temple outside Tokyo City was put under martial law by the Imperial City Department's security guards, and even the roof was guarded.
Before Fan Ziyuan didn't understand the reason, Ye An knew that Zhao Zhen must be here, and only he and Liu E could make Chen Lin do this.
After the officials at Sinong Temple learned that Zhao Zhen had arrived, they were all dumbfounded. They had never thought that one day they would be able to see the face of the sky so close.
Even young officials will ask various questions.
This is a good opportunity to leave an impression in front of the emperor. It is something that ordinary people, even ordinary officials, would not dare to think about, so the clerk of Sinong Temple immediately devoted himself to rigorous statistics without Ye An or Fan Ziyuan saying anything.
among.
Zhao Zhen had many questions, but most of them were related to this autumn harvest. Of course, Ye An would not be idle either, and he also needed to explain "knowledge points" to him.
The thick scroll was placed in front of Zhao Zhen, and Ye An opened it gently and said: "Guan family, these numbers are not as simple as they seem. They reflect the fertility of a piece of land and what crops were planted this year.
How many crops have been harvested, what new crops should be planted next year, and of course this year’s taxes will also reflect the family’s harvest for the year.”
Zhao Zhen was originally a little dizzy when he saw the numbers in the article, but under Ye An's explanation, he was able to clear his head quickly.
Fan Ziyuan tried his best to come over to talk, but was blocked by the sanitation officer of the Imperial City Department. He couldn't compare with Ye An, an old acquaintance, and Fan Ziyuan, the young minister of Sinong Temple, who they were not familiar with...
………
Zhao Zhen could just take a rough look at the data for each household, but he had to observe the summary data at the end of the document in detail. As the king of a country, if he cannot see some extremely useful information from it, he will definitely fail.
.
Ye An didn't say anything. He just looked at the slightly immature little emperor in front of him quietly. This young man was the child who carried the hope of the entire Song Dynasty, and he also carried the seeds of his own hope.
"Marquis Ye, I have seen some suspicions from these documents. This year's grain harvest is quite abundant, twice as much as last year's, and the autumn harvest far exceeds the summer harvest, of which potatoes should take the lead!"
Zhao Zhen discovered the problem in the data after just a brief look. Seeing Ye An smile, he added: "It seems that it is caused by the promotion of potatoes. Potatoes have been planted during the summer harvest, but not in large quantities. If this continues, there will be no more potatoes this autumn."
If you plant sweet potatoes, there should be more of this food!"
"Official sage! This is where the grain harvest will be abundant this year, but the people will not keep much of the grain in their hands. Most of it will be sold. This year, the grain can still be sold at a good price, but next year and the year after that, potatoes will not be enough."
Common things may not be so easy to sell."
Zhao Zhen was suddenly startled, and then he remembered the test questions that Ye An had given before, and then said: "Is this the food price issue that Mr. mentioned before?"
Ye An chuckled: "Officials, don't look at these small potatoes and sweet potatoes, but as long as you operate carefully, you can move the price of food. People buy it at a low price during the autumn harvest, and sell it at a high price when the harvest is gone.
Out, no matter what the people’s harvest is this year&…………”
"Everyone has to let the grain merchants fish and eat! They have to pay as much as the grain merchants sell, otherwise they will starve and suffer!"
With Zhao Zhen's cleverness, he could easily figure out that grain prices had always been the lifeblood of the feudal dynasty, so there was a saying that "food is the first priority for the people", and almost all turbulence was related to changes in grain prices.
Ye An nodded and said: "It's not as miserable as the officials say. Grain merchants dare not do this, otherwise it will definitely arouse the anger of the people. If public opinion is so fierce, it means that the officials are willing to protect them, and the court will also punish them. They will only raise the price of grain."
If it is two or three times higher than in the past, you can easily earn money, so that you can repeat the old tricks the next year. In this way, the people will not be forced to survive, and they can continue to make money, right?"
