Chapter 1251 The new appearance of Quanling
Zhong Yao chatted with Wei Tao for a while, and made an appointment to visit another day, and then said goodbye.

Wei Tao jumped back to his boat, yelled loudly, and went elsewhere.

Zhou Zhong and Han Rong looked at each other.

Han Rong asked, "Is this person really Quan Lingling?"

Zhong Yao laughed. "Han Gong, he is indeed Quanling Commander Wei Tao, but talking about him is a bit complicated, let me explain in detail."

Han Rong kept urging.

If it wasn't for Zhong Yao's identity as Po Wei Tao just now, he would never believe that this is the order of Quanling, and it is a bit reluctant to say that it is an official of the county temple.The dignified magistrate of a county, dressed like ordinary people, and has few followers around him, so he is not afraid of any accidents?
After hearing Wei Tao's story, Han Rong's surprise continued unabated.

A demoted official who had strongly opposed Du Tian was able to resume his official position and took office under the eyes of the emperor. What kind of adventure did Wei Tao experience?
This point, Zhong Yao can't tell clearly.

When he was in Bohai, he only heard that Wei Tao had returned to his official position and was serving as county magistrate in Quanling.One of the goals of my trip this time is to verify this rumor.

I didn't expect to meet Wei Tao himself before getting off the boat, what a coincidence.

It also filled him with information about the future.

Wei Tao can resume his official career, as long as I work hard, I can naturally do it.

The three of them went ashore while they were talking, and while they were waiting for Zhou Zhong's officials to carry their luggage and files, Gao Rou hurried over after receiving the news.

"I've seen Duke Zhou and Duke Han."

"Wen Hui, how is the preparation of the law school going?"

"It's going well, but there is a serious shortage of teachers. I am going to ask Zhou Gong for help." Gao Rou smiled, and then turned to Han Rong. "If Han Gong has a favorite student, he is also welcome to come to the law school to take up a job."

Han Rong laughed out loud.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhong hoped that he could recommend his disciples to work in the Sikong Mansion, and now Gao Rou asked him to recommend his disciples to work in the Law School as soon as they met. It seems that the emperor's belief in ruling the country according to the law is very firm.

Although none of his disciples are proficient in Law, Yingchuan definitely does not lack such talents.When the importance of Confucian classics declined and a large number of scholars could not find a way out, Yingchuan people ushered in another choice.

This is a god-sent opportunity in Yingchuan, not to be missed.

Zhou Zhong pulled Gao Rou to chat. Gao Rou was very enthusiastic, chatting and laughing happily, and while walking, he introduced Zhou Zhong's development in the past year, full of passion.

Zhou Zhong was very pleased.

This is the Gao Rou he wants to see, and it is also the reason why he recommended Gao Rou at the risk of angering the emperor.

Gao Rou didn't let him down, and the emperor didn't let him down.

Zhong Yao and Han Rong watched from the side, smiling all over their faces.

They all know Gao Rou's identity, and their academic background is similar to Gao Rou's, mainly leaning towards the Legalists.Gao Rou's ability to gain the trust and reuse of the emperor means that Yingchuan people have great potential in this regard.

When the group entered the city, they saw shops on both sides of the street, and lanterns were hung at the door of the shops.There are not many people shopping, but people looking at lanterns are everywhere. Many people are still comparing which lanterns are more beautiful, and the calligraphy and paintings on them are more beautiful.

"Yuanchang, you're late." Han Rong joked.

Zhong Yao stroked his beard and smiled.

He is good at calligraphy and painting, and everyone in Yingchuan is well known.In the past few years in Bohai, the official business is not too busy, I have more time to study, and the art industry is more refined.

Of course, he would not show his skills on such an occasion, it was too cheap.

"Wen Hui, the Lantern Festival in Quanling is very lively."

Gao Rou said: "That's true, but there are reasons for this year's excitement. One is that the Son of Heaven is staying here, and the people of Quanling are honored. They all say that after Emperor Shun, Quanling ushered in the Holy King again. It should be Congratulations. Look at those lanterns, many of which depict the story of Emperor Shun’s southern tour. The second is that Jiaozhou was pacified, Lingling and Guiyang were meritorious, and the emperor issued an edict to reduce the rent and tax of the two counties for one year. I have money. Of course, the most important thing is that the implementation of the New Deal last year has achieved remarkable results, and the lives of the people have become more prosperous, so I am in the mood to be busy with these things."

"Last year, when the New Deal was implemented, how much did the tax increase? Has Dutian encountered any trouble?"

"Dutian didn't encounter any trouble. Quanling didn't have much arable land, and there were few rich clans, so the annexation wasn't serious. The big clans occupied most of the mines." Gao Rou smiled. "They pretended to be bandits, besieged Quanling, and offended Chengyu. They were all cleaned up. After the imperial court took over the mine, they sent people to clean it up. Now both technology and production have been greatly improved, and the taxes of the entire Lingling County have also increased. [-]%."

Zhou Zhong clicked his tongue for it.

It has increased by [-]% in just one year. It seems that the output of these mines is really amazing. No wonder the emperor has repeatedly proposed to pay attention to industry and commerce, which is much better than farming.

"With so little arable land, is there enough food?" Han Rong pointed around. "The Son of Heaven stays here, so food consumption will also increase a lot, right?"

"Mr. Han is worthy of being an old minister. There is a rice shop in front of him. Let's go and ask about the price."

Han Rong readily agreed, and walked into a nearby rice shop with Gao Rou.

The owner of the rice store was instructing the staff to hang up the lanterns. Seeing that Gao Rou was wearing an official uniform, and Han Rong's beard and hair were almost white, and he didn't look like he was here to buy rice, he called out loudly, "Look at it, I've hung up the lanterns." Come." He kept busy to himself.

Han Rong stood still in front of the rice cabinet, stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of rice, looked at it, and then looked at the price, somewhat surprised.

The quality of the rice is good, but the price is a bit high, ranging from around a hundred dollars a stone to over two hundred dollars, but it’s not outrageous.

Han Rong thought for a while and asked, "Where is this rice?"

"Which one is the old man talking about?" A little girl with pigtails came from behind, holding a book in her hand, and looked at Han Rong curiously.

Han Rong casually pointed to the most expensive one.

The little girl glanced, and said directly: "The one in Jiaozhou Rinan is far away, so it is a little more expensive. If the old man treats guests, you can buy less, as long as it is enough. If you are eating for yourself, you might as well wait a little longer. At most The price will be reduced in three months."

Han Rong was very surprised. "Why?"

"Jiaozhou is pacified, and a large amount of rice from Nichinan will be shipped north." The little girl tilted her head, looking after Han Rong curiously. "This is the first time for me to come to Quanling, right? Everyone in Quanling knows that they are waiting to eat Nichinan rice in summer. When we plant Nichinan rice here, the price of rice in autumn will be even cheaper."

Han Rong looked at the little girl, happy from the bottom of his heart. "What book are you reading?"

""Shiming", a new book just published by Yinfang."

The little girl handed over the book in her arms, and Han Rong took it in his hand, flipped through it, and was surprised to find that this book was actually the new book of his old friend Liu Xi.

"Has Liu Chengguo come to Quanling?"

Gao Rou shook her head. "I haven't heard of it. It should be that he sent someone to send the manuscript to Quanling for printing. After the printing workshop in Quanling was built, more than half of the business came from Jiaozhou."

"Mr. Liu has come to Quanling, just arrived the day before yesterday." The little girl said: "I heard that he is going to open a school in Quanling, and he is choosing a site."

Gao Rou was also taken aback. "where does he live?"

The little girl walked to the door and pointed. "Tianzhu Inn."
