Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Best Policy in the Classroom
Jiangxia County Prefecture City, the county magistrate's office, and after Zhao Ci's rebellion, he captured the county magistrate's office. In just a few months, Zhu Kui led his troops to retake it again. After two wars, the county magistrate's office and the surrounding wealthy houses destroyed a lot.
After Zhu Kui managed Jiangxia for several years and rectified it step by step, the situation has improved greatly. Not only did the county magistrate's office walls and the courtyard were deep, but it was also built into a lake, with clear water quality. The wealthy families around him also moved back to their residences and re-entered them.
The city was covered with flips, and even the originally narrow and disorderly civilian streets, the government also spent money to repair them, and they became flat and clean, and very wide.
This is Zhu Kui's instinct, which is considered urban construction, but many people think it is good governance.
The original Virtue Hall was used as the Lin'an Palace of the Shao Emperor, but Zhu Kui's naturally had reserves. He quickly bought his house from a wealthy family near the county magistrate's office at the market price and gave it to the one who had just defected to him.
Hua Xin, Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong live in to show respect for the three of them. Of course, these are temporary residences and will definitely return them in the future. They are also given houses, but here is to be expanded into a new Lixian Hall in the future.
.
In ancient times, the rich people were actually very good at enjoying it. They learned to dig pools and make a lake, and built pavilions and corridors on the lake for their leisure time to enjoy themselves. However, now it is cheaper to Hua Xin.
Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong three...
However, at this moment, only Hua Xin and Xi Zhi were there on the Hu Pavilion.
"The tea tastes really light and elegant. They said that this is the tea stir-frying technique developed by the lord before the New Year. It is not much better than the original tea-cooking taste." Xi Zhicai said while playing with the tea cup in his hand.
.
Hua Xin said calmly: "With the lord's young age, he seems to have the ability to do everything, business, sharp tools, wine, tea, military affairs, and classics, so many, it seems surprising."
In front of the two, on the lake, a large area of lotus flowers were already in full bloom, with a clear and elegant fragrance and pleasing to the eye, which really brought a bit of elegance and elegance.
"Master? You call him recently, and the more you call him, the more you feel more comfortable!" Xi Zhicai turned his face and looked at his companion.
Hua Xin smiled, saw through Xi Zhicai's thoughts, and said, "In the past two years since I met you, I often mentioned my admiration for him, saying that there is a sign of a wise ruler, and it is obvious that I want to encourage me to be with you."
Call me lord?"
"Haha! Compared to the Yellow Turban period, he has become much more mature and experienced, and has become more powerful." After Xi Zhicai smiled, he became lazy and simply lay down on the pavilion pillar.
The cold feeling from his back made him feel very comfortable. He simply closed his eyes and sighed: "For four hundred years, the great man is about to reach the end. The building is about to collapse, what can I do?"
"...A few days ago, I watched him support the restoration of the young emperor? That hastily ritual, and the emperor is better than a puppet in front of the people!"
Hearing this, Hua Xin was speechless. Xi Zhi noticed it, how could he not know?
All the way to escort the young emperor back to Jiangxia, Zhu Kui continued to do the restoration of the emperor on the city tower. He, Xi Zhicai, and Chen Gong had just joined the group, but they just watched from a distance, and Zhu Kui did not call him.
With the three of them, Hua Xin and Xi Zhicai were both the ministers of the Han Dynasty. This move may be a test of whether the two of them sincerely called him the lord.
However, afterwards, the young emperor seemed to have disappeared in front of others. Zhu Kui attached great importance to them, and he had all the supplies. He came to see them every day and asked for advice.
The two and Zhu Kui have changed from friends to masters and servants. In fact, many things need to be adapted to, and the two will not separate their paths and interrogate because of trivial matters. For example, there are so many princes and many loyal Liu Han today, how can they see them?
Not coming out.
Hua Xin's eyes stared at the lotus in the river, and after a long time he said, "He has the ambition of Hengwen, or the heart of Hunyuan, or the heart of the world?"
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai was a little dissatisfied: "If one day one is called kingship, there will be Qi Heng and Jin Wen's hegemony, who will let go of the world that is about to be won?"...
Hua Xin nodded at this and wanted to continue speaking. At this time, a scholar in brocade clothes came from a corridor with a satisfied smile. The person who came was Chen Gong.
Seeing this, Xi Zhicai and Hua Xin stopped talking and stood up to greet each other.
"Brother Gongtai!"
"Brother Ziyu! Brother Zhicai!"
"The two wise men are so leisurely that they drink tea here, but they don't call me Chen Gong." When they passed by the two, Chen Gong smiled and said jokingly.
The two of them replied, "Okay, Chen Gongtai, I actually joked with me. Judging from your expression, you seem to have gained something. Why did you so happy?" Chen Gong's satisfied smile naturally couldn't hide it from Hua Xin and Xi Zhi.
He asked casually.
Chen Gong sat down on his own, took a teacup from the stone table, filled it, and said with a smile: "Just this time, Gong walked around the city and found the grain sold by COFCO shop in this city.
How much is the price?"
"How many?" The two of them couldn't help but wonder. Chen Gong said what he did?
Chen Gong smiled even worse, stretched out his finger and said, "Five trees with ten people!"
"What? Jiangxia has just experienced wars for a few years, how could its price be so low? You know, when I was in Luoyang, I had seen the grain prices reported in various places. Calculated, the average price is 30 meter five plants.
, The price of grain here is three times the average price?" Hua Xin said, with a surprised face and even more disbelief.
"Is it a reason or a rumor?" Xi Zhicai also added.
"This matter has spread long ago. If the news is false, someone will come out to refute the rumors. What's more, the palace saw with his own eyes that every grain shop is for this price. This matter will definitely not be false, and it is not only in Jiangxia City.
Moreover, in Jiangdong, the same is true for the lord’s hometown Moling County, and the price of grain is no more than 100% to five plants.”
"Talk quickly, why is it suitable."
"I don't know the specific reason, but from the grain shop owner, all the fields that belong to Jiangxia City are three stones and produce three stones per mu. This is the first time I have heard of this, which can produce three stones per mu.
"The same is true for Moling County. The fields within its area are so different, and the grain production has increased greatly. The palace asked the people around him why this matter was. They all said that they had seen the prefect go to the fields and farm with them, so they got it.
God blesses, and then the gods give you a great harvest.”
"With these two boundaries, this field will not have such honor. It is a great blessing to produce one stone in this acre of land."
Chen Gong said with emotion that he had reached the high position of the prefect, but he could not change his background and go to the land with the people. Isn’t this a wise master!
Xi Zhicai and Hua Xin looked at each other, and they all looked surprised. In this era, agriculture was the foundation of everything. As well-known strategists at the end of the Han Dynasty, how could they not pay attention to the foundation and not understand what this represents? Therefore,
After hearing about this amazing yield per mu, the two of them were naturally amazing.
The three of them couldn't help but think of going together: "The True Lord!"
In the county magistrate's mansion, Zhu Kui stood in front of the window, looking at the garden with a plain expression, and his eyes were looking at the scenery outside, not knowing whether he was enjoying or thinking about something.
"Lord." A personal soldier, Dahu, called out loud outside the door.
"Wang Zhong and Wang Qian's two bosses have returned from Jiangdong and are looking for a meeting outside the door!
Zhu Kui turned around, stepped back to the table, sat down, and said, "Let them come in."
"No." As soon as the door opened, Wang Zhong and Wang Qian stepped in from outside and bowed to him. "Have you met the lord!"
After leading the way, Dahu was about to leave the door, but Zhu Kui said, "Dahu, you stay first!" Dahu was stunned, but then he quickly reacted, nodded, and stood there.
Aside.
"explain!"
Wang Qian and Wang Zhong looked at each other and gave in a few words. Wang Zhong took a small step forward and reported: "Lord, since last year, the horses that have been privately obtained from the north have been sent to Moling in four parts, and the rest have taken all of them.
Back to Jiangxia, there were 4,320 horses in total. Now the current situation is chaotic, and the horses are not suitable for trading, and the price is also expensive. The money saved over the years has been almost spent."...
As he said that, he took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over.
Zhu Kui took it and saw that the accounts were arranged in a dense array. He said with a smile: "I believe in the accounts of Wang's Commercial Bank. I believe in the wealthy things. There are not enough money. Four thousand pieces. It seems that you are also
Thank you for your hard work, but the future business income will still be the main thing to buy horses, supplemented by iron, minerals and other materials.”
"This year, the tax revenue in Jiangxia County has been raised. I will send you half of it later. Earlier, Lixian Pavilion has been changed to His Majesty's Palace. You can rebuild several homesteads next to the county magistrate's mansion and connect them together.
It will be included in the accounts for next year.”
"Yes, lord!" the two responded.
Then, Zhu Kui said, "Degui, you two have been with me for seven years. They are the first batch. They have worked hard and made great contributions! These years, thank you for your wealth you have for me, so that I, Zhu Kui, today.
”
These words made the two of them feel moved. The lord still remembers the hard work of them.
"Zhong met his lord from the Gao family's water village. It was a blessing to be the best place for him. Otherwise, Zhong would still be just a bandit on the Yangtze River."
"Qian Bi Degui entered the Wang Family Business half a year later. This is not the greatest luck in his life, otherwise it would be just a business trip to various places."
"Haha!" Zhu Kui smiled and continued with a somewhat apologetic tone: "It's my negligence. Although I have given you wealth over the years, I have never given you any fame and honor. Since ancient times, the status of a businessman has not been enough, but I, Zhu Kui, have not
If you are so short-sighted, I will ask Your Majesty to name the Wang clan's business in the next day."
"In the future, you two will meet people from other businesses, and you can claim to be the name of the Imperial Merchant. One day, I will allow you to have the same status as the magistrate. But if you want to have this day, you still need more.
effort."
"Ah!" After hearing Zhu Kui's words, Wang Qian and Wang Zhong were surprised and overwhelmed. They couldn't help but kneel in front of them, and thanked them solemnly: "Lord, I am very kind, and we dare not do anything to die.
.”
Zhu Kui raised his hand and asked the two of them to get up without any big gifts. He curled his lips and suddenly said, "But there is one more thing, it's not that you and you have to work too hard."
