The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 215 Meeting alone
Gu Chengyu took a simple shower, and then set off with Ye Zhiqiu. It took more than half an hour to walk from the inn to the mansion, and they would pass Gu Chengyu's Yipinzhai in the middle.

Gu Chengyu planned to get two boxes of pastries at Yipinzhai first, and buy them from other shops, it is better to get them at his own shop, anyway, he taught the cook to make a lot today, and the opening will not be until tomorrow, so there is no end to these pastries.

As for tea, you can buy them at grocery stores and teahouses, and you can buy them all just passing by on the road.

The two came to the government office with the four-color ceremony, it was already the end of the day, and there were already people standing outside the gate of the back house of the government office.Gu Chengyu took a closer look and saw that the clothes should be a manager.

"Meet the two sons! Is this Mr. Gu?" The steward in front of the door saw Gu Chengyu and the two of them, and immediately went forward to salute and inquire.

When the manager straightened up, he looked at Gu Chengyu's face, his pupils shrank, he was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head, his expression returned to normal!

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, why was there a separate roll call? "It's right here! I don't know how to call the steward?"

"My lord, just call me Guanshi Yu! Our adults have some matters and want to see you alone, please move to the study!" Yu Guanshi is the son of Yu's natal family. When Yu got married, Yu Guanshi's family did Yu Shi's accompanying room, he is now working in the outer courtyard.

"I'm really sorry, please move this Mr. Ye to the flower hall first. The dinner will take a while, please rest a little bit, Mr. Ye!" Steward Yu greeted another servant and asked him to take Ye Zhiqiu to the flower hall first.

Gu Chengyu was a little strange, it seemed that they came early, but the invitation clearly stated that it was Shen Shichu.No wonder there wasn't a single guest in front of the gate, but I don't know why Jiang Zhifu was looking for him alone.

Steward Yu led the way, and arrived at the outer study in a short while.

"My lord! Mr. Gu is here!"

Gu Chengyu took a glance, and saw that there were two servants standing outside the door of the study, guessing that this might be an important place.

"Let him in!" In the study, Jiang Zhifu stopped holding the writing brush, he was practicing calligraphy!
Gu Chengyu entered the study room and bowed to the prefect Jiang, "Student Gu Chengyu has met the prefect!"

"Exemption!" Jiang Zhifu put down the pen in his hand and turned his gaze to Gu Chengyu.

I saw Gu Chengyu wearing a smoky blue satin round-neck gown, a white jade ring hanging around his waist, and a hair band on his head. He is young, but has a certain elegance!Jiang Zhifu looked at Gu Chengyu's face, he really looks like that person!
"I don't know what the adults are asking for the students?" Gu Chengyu immediately reminded Jiang Zhifu when he saw that the prefect was in a daze.

"Oh! I read the theory you wrote. Did you come up with the actual policy yourself?" Prefect Jiang asked kindly, with a soft tone, and he didn't use to call himself an official.

"My lord! Some of them are what I read in the books, and some are the students' own thoughts." Gu Chengyu replied respectfully.

"Then what you wrote in your policy theory, except for the flood, have you practiced it?" Jiang Zhifu was very interested in Gu Chengyu's flood control, but the policy was not detailed, and he wanted Gu Chengyu to share the detailed plan. write down!
"Farming has been practiced by the students' families. The magistrate may as well use some fields as experimental fields. If it is effective, it will be popularized, which is also the well-being of the people!" Gu Chengyu felt that although it was impossible to produce a thousand catties per mu like in the previous life, but It is also two or three times more than the original one acre and one stone!

"I have already written a memorial of your strategy and submitted it to the Holy Majesty, and now I just wait for the Holy Majesty to reply. You have to be prepared, maybe the Holy Majesty will explain this matter down, and let us Jingyuan Mansion experiment first." Jiang Zhifu shouted He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

"As for the flood, we are located in the north, so the chance of floods is relatively small. Generally, there are more floods in the south of the Yangtze River. The strategy you wrote is not detailed enough. Do you have a plan in mind?"

"Return to your lord! Regarding the flood problem, the students have never been to the river dams. They are just sorted out by themselves based on the books of the past dynasties, and they have added their own understanding. It's just that these are just talk on paper. Without practice, the students can't guarantee that they will be correct. usefulness!"

"You don't have to be humble. I think your strategy can be tried. Even if the embankment is not strengthened every year, the reinforcement is very frequent. It needs to be overhauled every few years. Even this is not reassuring. It is better to do it in other places. Find a way. There is no imperial decree from above, we have to wait!"

Prefect Jiang also felt that there was no need to act too hastily. After all, there was no will from the Holy Majesty, so what if they implemented it?He really wants to be a good official who cares about the people, but he is also a politician.

"If it's such an honor to be able to benefit the people, then the student must be obliged!" If he doesn't go to such a beneficial thing, isn't he a fool?

"You have to know that if this thing can be implemented this time, it will be of great benefit to you. Why did you take the imperial examination, and not to become an official? As long as the Holy One remembers you, then you will be admitted as a Jinshi and become an official in the future. Don't worry about not having a good official position!"

Prefect Jiang felt that Gu Chengyu knew how to advance and retreat, and also knew how to seize opportunities. Such a person would be able to quickly adapt to the officialdom when he became an official.That's why he loves talents, so let's remind him a few words.

"Students, thank you for your kindness!" In fact, if Mr. Jiang didn't report Gu Chengyu's name, and only said that he thought of it, Gu Chengyu could only watch it. He put it in his eyes.

Jiang Zhifu saw that Gu Chengyu knew how to be a man, so he replied jokingly: "Haha! Then you have to remember my kindness!"

In fact, farming is secondary, but he has to report flooding. For example, digging a reservoir is a waste of time and money. Without the permission of the court, he can't use tax money to build reservoirs without permission.

"One more thing, the thieves you caught last time, don't mention it again in the future!" Jiang Zhifu was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be involved in this matter, although Gu Chengyu arrested them as thieves, but those people were so desperate , would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

"Eh? Didn't catch their boss?" Gu Chengyu didn't think too much about it. He thought it was the bandit boss who ran away. He was afraid that he would come back for revenge, so Jiang Zhifu didn't let him mention it.

"The boss ran away. Anyway, don't mention this matter to anyone in the future!" Of course, Jiang Zhifu will not say too much to Gu Chengyu, the less he knows, the better!
Gu Chengyu thought in his heart, seeing the stern face of Jiang Zhifu, he seemed to be very taboo about this matter, could there be other things involved in it?The boss of the bandits ran away, but the government didn't offer a reward for his arrest, and it seemed that they were going to let it go!
This is too unreasonable. The only explanation is that the boss Jiang Zhifu and the others can't afford it, or the people behind the boss, Jiang Zhifu can't afford it!
A thought flashed in Gu Chengyu's mind, but he didn't pursue it further.Since he is someone Jiang Zhifu dare not offend, of course he can't get involved in it, but what Gu Chengyu doesn't know is that he has already participated in this matter, and it will be closely related to him in the future!
