Chapter 3211 National Policy
"My lord, my lord, someone from the capital has come."
The magistrate of Luojiang County stood up and asked happily, "Where is it? Come in, is it an official document or an imperial decree?"
"It's the master of the household department, accompanied by officials from the Mianzhou governor's office, and said that he came to buy and arrange new rice seeds..."
The magistrate froze, "Huh?"
Many new rice seeds were planted in Qili Village, among which the Zhou family was the most important. Zhou Lizhong was proclaimed into the capital on the front foot, and the county magistrate on the back foot told people to go to the village and say that the new rice should be kept and not allowed to be sold at will.
During this time, he has been asking people to contact people from Qili Village, wanting to buy new rice to keep as seeds, but because he offered a low price, he didn't buy much.
He could prohibit Qili Village from selling new rice, but he couldn't force it to buy from them. If it was before, the villagers in Qili Village might panic and dare not sell.
But now they are not afraid.
First, the people in the village are not very short of money. In recent years, they have made a lot of money by growing ginger, yam, privet seed and other medicinal materials with the Zhou family;
The second is because they have Zhou Man as their backer.
Zhou Man's official position is much higher than the county magistrate. They are not afraid of the county magistrate. They are not allowed to take out food, so they can change it.
Exchange some new rice for relatives and friends, exchange five or six catties for one pound, and then sell the returned rice.
No, I can still give it to Master Bai.
The county magistrate can't control Mr. Bai. I heard that Mr. Bai has already picked out new rice seeds for takeout. The price is more than twice that of ordinary rice varieties. It is very profitable.
The officials from the Ministry of Household, together with the Mianzhou Governor's Office, went to Qili Village to buy new rice seeds.
The new rice on the Zhou family's side is purchased at the normal price of the rice, and other villagers' families are left to discuss.
However, with Master Bai here, the imperial court wants to buy new rice seeds from Master Bai, so he will not treat each other too badly, and Master Bai is not good at taking advantage of his in-laws, so things are going well here.
The seeds were sent to the Mianzhou warehouse, and then the calculation of the rice seeds that the counties needed to distribute...
Although the magistrate of Luojiang County could participate in this matter, he did not have the right to speak.
"I should have agreed when Zhou Lizhong proposed to sow new rice seeds."
The master and the county magistrate were also very remorseful, "The county magistrate, it can only be seen that the year is old. After all, the first batch of new rice seeds were planted in Qili Village, and the farmers there must have a lot of new rice seeds. Next year, we will plant new rice in our county. The area of planting is definitely higher than other counties, which is also a political achievement."
The county magistrate can only comfort himself in this way.
In contrast, Qingzhou's side is smoother.
Because the new rice seeds were basically sown in Beihai County, and most of them were in official fields, the Governor Guo personally came forward. Bai Shan only left a batch of rice seeds for next year, and the rest were sold to the Governor's House at the market price.
The governor's office will then distribute it to the counties.
When these things were done, it was already winter in Qingzhou, Zhou Man was wrapped in a cape, and Bai Jingxing's children dressed like a ball, sitting on the circled couch and playing with colorful wooden blocks, using wooden blocks to build everyone up. Something that can't be seen.
Bai Ruoyu sat on the other side, he kept folding it up, and when the folded pieces reached a certain height, the wooden blocks fell down, he stayed for a while, then turned his head to look at Bai Jingxing.
Leaning forward, with a swipe of his little hand, he swept away the wooden block that Bai Jingxing had erected.
This was not the first time, so Bai Jing Xing turned around and clenched his small fist without pausing to beat him.
Bai Ruoyu screamed, the two children rolled into a pile, Bai Jingxing pressed Bai Ruoyu to beat.
The servants hurriedly picked them up and separated them, Bai Ruoyu burst into tears.
Mingda on the side calmly wiped his tears and said to him, "Mingming can't beat him every time, why do you always provoke her?"
Zhou Man also said to Bai Jingxing, "Don't do it, you are still young, you can't control your strength, it hurts to beat someone."
Bai Erlang came in with a tray of grapes. Seeing that his son was crying again, he sat beside him, peeled a grape, picked the seeds and stuffed them in his mouth. Bai Ruoyu instantly stopped crying.
Zhou Man was curious: "Where did the grapes come from at this time?"
"It was sent from the capital," Bai Erlang said, "it was said to be a tribute from the Western Regions, and it has been kept in ice. It was sent with the winter solstice ceremony yesterday."
Zhou Man: "Is it still far from the winter solstice?"
Bai Erlang nodded and said: "Yeah, I think they just want to find an excuse to send us something, and there should be some things to come around the winter solstice."
He paused and looked at Zhou Man, "Your Majesty will ask us when we will return to Beijing."
Zhou Man looked back innocently, "Look at what I do? Go back if you want."
Bai Erlang scratched his head and said, "I can go anywhere, but we are worried that it will be difficult to figure it out when we go back, and since the child is still young, will it be too cold on the road?"
That means I don't want to go back.
Zhou Man's eyes patrolled back and forth between the two of them, and thoughtfully said, "So you mean to let me?"
Bai Erlang nodded again and again, "You can also write a letter to His Majesty and send it back together with our letter."
"Okay," Zhou Man said, "It just so happens that you can experience the Qingzhou New Year's Eve."
Zhou Man went to write a letter to the emperor.
When the emperor received these two letters, even though he was given an expensive winter solstice gift by his daughter and son-in-law, his beard flew out of anger.
"Mingda didn't want to come back after going out. She used to be good. It must have been the Bai Erjiao who broke her."
The queen was much more just, and said, "I don't think the concubine doesn't want to come back, but Mingda's idea. Her idea is much more upright than the concubine."
The emperor pouted, muttered a few words, and stopped talking. Forget it, it is better to follow the wishes of the daughter than to follow the wishes of the concubine?
The princess of Da Jin lived as wantonly as Ming Da, but she was the only one.
It is also because of this wantonness that the emperor didn't want to give Bai Er another official. If he became an official, then Mingda would not be so wanton.
However, although Bai Er didn't hold a post, he could often see his name in the papers sent from Beihai County. Basically, he had a share of the merits there.
The courtiers also know that the salt farms, wharfs, official fields, and even the Salt Transport Division, which was just established in Beihai County, are now all due to Bai Cheng and Yin Or.
Whether it's Bai Shan's book or Guo's book, it doesn't hide this.
When they come back from Beihai County in the future, if they really want to be rewarded for their merits and deeds, they will also have a share, even if the two of them do not hold positions.
In the 22nd year of Dazhen, it is destined to be a year of great importance in the annals of history. In this year, penicillin came out, two new rice varieties came out, the imperial salt administration reformed, the Salt Transport Department was established, and the Imperial Physician Department was reformed. establishment of a pharmacy;
Dajin has lost a capable counselor...
In the next few years, the imperial court and local yamen, in addition to their daily affairs, staunchly implemented the national policies formulated this year.
