Chapter 2553 Approval
The two of them went outside the emperor's study together, and they let the servants go in to report, and then went to the side hall to wait.
At this point, Li Maoyue carefully read Bai Zhi's article.
Looking at the traces of pen and ink, this should be an article from a long time ago.
It is about the importance of persuading farmers to teach farming and mulberry, as well as various measures for balanced development in the county, which is based on Luojiang County, Mianzhou.
Luojiang County is Xia County, it is very poor, but there are rich households in the poor.
Most of the poor are people in the mountains, and they are basically self-sufficient. Even if there is Yongye Farm, the tax is not heavy, but because the mountain road is difficult, many people may have never been to the county seat in their entire life, let alone other counties. .
Therefore, there is not much money at home because it is not needed.
To see a doctor in the village and town, you can pay off your debts with food and cloth, not just money.
So Bai Zhi thinks that the road is very important, and only let them go out, even if they only go to the county seat, when they have what they need and need to spend money, then the things in the mountains can also be shipped out, because people outside also Need something from the mountains.
Although he has not lived in Qili Village for a long time, when Bai Dalang occasionally returns home, he looks at his younger brother like a clay figurine. In spring, he follows Bai Shanzhouman up the mountain to look for mushrooms. People go to the mountains to install bamboo rats, and they can dig the legendary sweet roots in winter...
He knew that there were many things in the mountains that could be used as commodities, which could bring money to the mountain people, and then exchange them for what they needed.
Bai Zhi explained the simple things in simple terms, this article is not short, but it makes Li Maoyue feel that the content is still incomplete, and it does not feel complicated at all.
Li Maoyue thought to himself, worthy of being Bai Cheng's brother, regardless of his ability to do things, this article was written in a pragmatic and fascinating way.
Li Maoyue ordered the table. In fact, the current situation in the east of Tongbai County is somewhat similar to the predicament of Luojiang County written in the article.
Tongbai County is the source of the Huaihe River, with a dense water network under its jurisdiction. It is also in the Central Plains, with fertile land. It should not be so difficult, but the roads in the east have been in disrepair for a long time, and they were not what they were before the war. After nearly two decades of war and chaos in the previous dynasty, they voluntarily cut off the road and lived a life of isolation.
As a minister of personnel, Li Maoyue also knew the situation in Tongbai County. It seems that it is easy to solve this dilemma, as long as the recruiter Ding Xiu Road is enough.
However, the water network in Tongbai County is dense, and there are frequent floods during the flood season. Therefore, most of the workers are arranged on river embankments and various water conservancy facilities every year.
This is a taboo in politics. Even if building roads is a matter of a hundred years of merit, people in the present will not be grateful, and even people in the future will always read the notoriety of this official.
Not everyone can see the future, or the people in the future will enjoy this convenience, and many people will not have this consciousness, and will not feel that this is his achievement.
Moreover, are the people of today really willing to suffer so much for the sake of future generations?
This is an incomprehensible thing.
The several magistrates of Tongbai County were mainly based on stability, and they did not contribute much, but the official voice was not bad, and the population and taxation increased.
But now that the world is peaceful, which county does not increase its population, except where it encounters major disasters?
Li Shangshu pondered in his heart, and when he was doing a tug-of-war, a servant came over and said, "Li Shangshu, Lord Zhou, Your Majesty invites the two of you in."
Li Shangshu returned to his senses, nodded, got up and looked at Zhou Man, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhou recommended Bai Zhi because of the affair between the concubine and Bai Hanlin?"
Man Bao was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "No, he is also a student of Mr., or the first one, so he is my senior brother."
"And am I the kind of person who randomly recommends people just because of personal feelings?" Man Bao said: "I have studied it very carefully. My brother is not bad in character and talent. I think he can."
Li Maoyue: …
It was the first time he heard that Bai Zhi was also a student of Mr. Zhuang, but if it was Zhuang Xun's disciple...
Li Maoyue's still hesitating heart was firmed, and he went in with Zhou Man to see the emperor.
It just so happened that Zhao Guogong and other military officers came out from the inside. Those who entered the door let them go out, and Man Bao and Li Shangshu stepped aside to let them out.
Zhao Guogong glanced at Zhou Man and then at Li Maoyue. He didn't understand how the two got together, but he didn't investigate, nodded with the two and left with his colleagues.
There were only Wei Zhi and Lord Tang left in the room. These two were think tanks who were always with the emperor. One was in charge of government affairs, and the other was staring at the civil and military officials. After seeing what was not in line with the rules, they persuaded and impeached on the spot. of.
It is also because of this that in the past two years, Lord Tang successfully replaced Wei Zhi as one of the most hated people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
The emperor had just finished dealing with the affairs of the military department, and for some known reasons, the military attache headed by Zhao Guogong spoke like thunder when he was excited, and he really had a headache at the moment.
So he saw Li Maoyue and Zhou Man come in together, so he selectively ordered Zhou Man to speak first, wanting to relax.
Man Bao's essay is very simple, oh, it wasn't her essay, it was written by Xiao Yuanzheng, but she just reported it on her behalf.
It is the summary of the vaccination work of cowpox so far. The banned army has already planted it. After all, there is no need to recuperate the body first, and there is no need to test it again after the pox has fallen. Therefore, the pox appears quickly, and the response is small. The ban army has two to three days. You can go out of Huangzhuang, if you go out, one person will be filled in immediately.
The speed of acne is slow, and the reaction of the banned army is relatively large, and the vaccination can be completed within five days, so the speed is very fast.
After Zheng Gu and others practiced, they no longer needed Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Lu to follow them all the time, they only needed to go over to check occasionally.
Vaccination is very fast.
The emperor looked at it, was very satisfied, and asked, "Since they have learned how to grow cowpox, can it be done locally?"
"As long as protection and isolation are done well."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said to her, "That being the case, your Imperial Physician's Office prepares it, and asks the local Medical Office to write a charter, and then start implementing this move locally."
Man Bao bowed in response, "Yes."
She finished her work, but did not leave, but stepped aside and sat in her own seat.
Li Maoyue then handed in his portfolio, pulled out the official vacancies to be arranged today, and explained in detail, and also pulled out the candidates he recommended and stated the reasons.
Tongbai County's official vacancy, Li Maoyue, listed a total of six candidates, four of which were new applicants, and two who he thought could be transferred from other places. People are more suitable for the location of Tongbai County than these newcomers.
But at this time, the emperor asked his opinion again, he paused and said, "I think the new jinshi Bai Zhi is good."
He knew Bai Zhi, Bai Cheng's eldest brother.
The emperor became curious and asked, "Why is he suitable?"
"I have read one of his articles..." Li Maoyue said bluntly, summed up Bai Zhi's article, and then directly repeated a paragraph of the original sentence, which is the key sentence.
Man Bao raised his head slightly to look at Li Maoyue, and sighed in his heart that he was more powerful than her. She couldn't remember it all at once. She had to read it more than twice, and it was estimated that it would take five or six times to memorize the more eloquent ones.
Sure enough, the people who can stand here are all super powerful people, Man Bao whispered in his heart, including me.
See you tomorrow
