Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Li Chaosheng looked up and saw that every household in the street outside had hung red lanterns with happy characters on them, and red couplets were pasted on the door, which looked like Chinese New Year from a distance.

Li Chaosheng stared blankly at Gu Zi who was in the guard team, Gu Zi looked puzzled, he didn't know either.

At this time Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao, and Guo Bao said at this time: "The county lord, I did not arrange this, and our fifty thousand silver dollars does not include this."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned and said, "Then who can give me an explanation?"

After listening to Li Chaosheng's questioning, Shi Xiaolei, who was in charge of the investigation department, said: "The county lord, this matter really has nothing to do with us, it's all spontaneously done by the people. I heard that because of the big marriage of the county lord, there are now several big weddings of the county lords among the people. Those in the preparatory department were all spontaneously organized by the common people, at first we thought it was some kind of secret gathering, preparing for rebellion, but when we found out they were planning to do this, we didn’t care about it.”

"spontaneous?"

Li Chaosheng frowned, looked at Shi Xiaolei and said: "There is no one from us to help the flames, right?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "I promise not."

Li Chaosheng felt relieved after hearing this, and said to Shi Xiaolei, "Don't slacken your investigation department. After I get married, I'll see if these so-called wedding preparation departments are disbanded on their own. If they find out that they have any plans to deceive the people The behavior of hard-earned money, or any misdeeds, should be arrested immediately."

"Yes."

Shi Xiaolei saluted and said yes.

Li Chaosheng nodded, that's good, and followed the team to continue forward. Li Chaosheng passed by the door. There was a couplet written on the door of this house: happy flowers, full moon and happy days, when peach blossoms and willows are happy.

After passing this house, I came to the door of another house. At this time, I saw the couplet that read: Lianli branches tie the earth together, and lovebirds fly happily into the sky.

It's another family: the same place and the same place for a lifetime, and the century-old couple will live together forever.

Li Chaosheng walked in front of every house, and immediately saw a head appearing on the wall of these houses, followed by curious faces, a little girl sat on her father's shoulder and floated out, just in time to see When Li Chaosheng looked over, the little girl said sweetly to Li Chaosheng: "Happy wedding, the county lord, hehe~"

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng waved at the little girl: "You are happy too, you woke up so early."

"Well, I want to get up and see the bride's sister. I heard from my mother that the one who can marry the county magistrate must be the kindest and most beautiful woman in the world."

The little girl looked at Li Chaosheng innocently, her big eyes were flickering, she was indescribably beautiful, Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this, and at this moment a big head came up from under the little girl, and said to Li Chaosheng embarrassingly : "Hey, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, children are not sensible."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng laughed and said: "It's okay, well, I won't chat with you today if I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

After speaking, Li Chaosheng accelerated forward. If such a family continues to talk, Li Chaosheng may not be able to leave Lantian County today.

The brigade moved forward and soon left Lantian City. When they got outside and approached the farm, Li Chaosheng saw a family of farmers standing outside the cordon blocked by the militia. After seeing Li Chaosheng coming, they would burst into cheers .

Li Chaosheng waved to the crowd. This was the people's support for him. Li Chaosheng was quite moved when he saw this. He had just taken two steps at this time, and the next moment he heard a shout: "Happy wedding, the county lord."

The next moment Li Chaosheng saw that the villagers had taken out red silk cloth at some point, embroidered with black silk thread: I wish the county lord a happy wedding.

Li Chaosheng bowed his hands to the villagers: "Thanks to everyone."

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words, Qiqi said it was their honor.

Li Chaosheng was also very moved when he heard this, and the team continued to move forward. A spacious official road had been built long ago from Lantian to Xi'an. The road was wide enough to allow three carriages to run side by side without affecting it.

Because this road only runs horse-drawn carriages, it is also called the road by the people.

Li Chaosheng rode in front, all the way forward, looking at the luxuriant crops along the way, and the well-organized farmyards, he was quite proud. This is all his achievements, especially when he saw those tile-roofed houses built with red bricks and blue tiles. Can't help but ask where is it?
Guzi on the side immediately replied: "This is Kangjia Village. Most of the sweet potato workshops in our county are concentrated here. Kangjia Village has also become prosperous because of processing sweet potatoes. Now every household is built with red brick and tile houses. They belong to our county. Imitate the village.

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded, and looked at the red brick and blue tile houses again. This house looked a bit like the tile houses he saw in modern rural areas.

It’s just the glass on the windows. It doesn’t look like it’s made of oil paper. As for the glass, there are currently two large glass factories in Lantian, but all the glass produced is sold to Jiangnan as luxury goods, and has become a stepping stone for Lantian’s upper class in Jiangnan. Help Lantian absorb money crazily.

The workers of the Lantian Glass Factory have mastered the technology of blowing glass proficiently. Especially after experiments, they can change the color of the glass by adding some elements to the glass, which makes the color of the glass colorful and popular in Jiangnan. The praise of rich businessmen and local tyrants.

Of course, pure and flawless glass is also marketable, because there are a group of officials in the Jiangnan officialdom who like this kind of pure and flawless glass, because these officials are very proud, and usually compare themselves with jade. Present a piece of pure glass handicraft to several officials, and say a word, the character of adults is as pure and flawless as glass.

This thing created a trend in the south of the Yangtze River, making the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River feel inferior if they don't have one or two high-end colored glazes that symbolize their own character.

This is called arty.

What goes above works, what goes below works.

And for glass, Lantian is still at the confidential level. It's not that Li Chaosheng doesn't want to sell it, but the main reason is to control the quantity to sell it at a high price. Therefore, these two glass factories are now directly under the control of the military factory.

Why is it a military factory, because glass is currently being researched as a strategic material. You must know that telescopes are a very important military material to be produced by glass factories.

In addition to these, Lantian developed the first low-magnification microscope in March this year. It was a lens that was polished by the best mirror master in Lantian for more than a month, and then processed and formed. , that microscope is also known as the Lantian No. [-] microscope telescope, and the whole is made of special steel for Lantian cast steel guns.

Then it was produced jointly by the glass factory and the Lantian Steel Factory. Although the magnification that can be seen is very low, only [-] times, it is far worse than the ultra-high-power optical microscope brought by Li Chaosheng from modern times, but this is still high-end. Invented, than the world's first microscope for observing microorganisms.

The Leeuwenhoek microscope was decades earlier. You must know that Leeuwenhoek's first microscope was invented and manufactured in 1665, which was the fourth year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

The birth of this microscope also means that the basic science of Lantian can be further improved. After all, all the super-high-power microscopes in the past were sent to top laboratories.

Li Chaosheng only brought over a dozen of them, but now that Lantian can make his own, it means that microscopes will be popular among the educational class soon.

This is of inestimable value to the development of basic science in Lantian and the development of the cause of education in the world.

Li Chaosheng thought about the development of Lantian in his heart, but the wedding party did not stop. Since he took the newly built straight road, the speed from Lantian to Xi'an was also much faster. Li Chaosheng watched the cheering villagers all the way to Ba Bridge, across the Baqiao is Xi'an Mansion.

When he came to Baqiao, Li Chaosheng saw a group of officials wearing Ming official uniforms standing under the city of Xi'an. At this time, Xi'an prefect Wang Huade led 28 county magistrates to stand outside the city gate to welcome them.

The status of these Ming officials is very embarrassing. In name, they are the magistrates of their county, but Lantian's administrative system simply excludes these people.

The head of the village will handle the small things, and the head of the middle school will handle the big things. This has led to the fact that all the county magistrates are bare-handed commanders, except for one who keeps two yamen servants. Of course, they are all servants of these people. Put down the pick and quit.

Some families have allotted fields and went home to farm, and some who are still interested in official careers have all returned home to apply for the militia, and continue to eat as officials as militiamen.

As for the elders who still follow their own family, that's bullshit.

Of course, these county magistrates are also doing well. Those who were corrupt back then had a lot of money and had a good life. Unfortunately, because they are in Lantian, and the court has almost given up Lantian now, they are one point. The money and salary are gone.

Those who are smarter find ways to find ways to move themselves away, and continue to serve as officials in other places, but those who have no connections can only stay in Lantian, continue to live with only two servants, and cannot leave Xi'an City.

Of course, many of these people want to seek refuge in Lantian, and want to make a living in Lantian. After all, Lantian is booming now, and the people are so rich that the county magistrates and grand masters are all coming out.

It's a pity that Lantian's attitude towards them is just not acceptable. Guo Bao even proposed in the internal meeting of Lantian: Even if no one is available, even if we have several positions, we must completely abandon the old literati, and we will never allow these stinky meat This pot of soup in Lantian is ruined.

Some people say that Guo Bao is a bit extreme, and there are good ones among the old literati, such as Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, who are good. Doesn't that explain the problem?

If Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting is willing to take refuge in Lantian, he Guo Bao is willing to let Xian.

Li Chaosheng agrees with the views of this meeting. Li Chaosheng's purpose is to clean up all the residual poisons of feudalism on this land and give the common people a peaceful and happy living environment.

Therefore, for these county magistrates and magistrates who are trapped in Lantian, Li Chaosheng always keeps a respectful distance.

But at this time a group of people stood at the gate of the city to welcome him, which made Li Chaosheng a little uncomfortable to refuse in person. At this time, the magistrate Wang Huade came to Li Chaosheng in person and saluted Li Chaosheng: "Congratulations to the county lord on his wedding."

Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said, "Prefect Wang, I am a small magistrate of Lantian, how can I bother you to salute me, and let the official dismount to return the salute."

After hearing this, Wang Huade waved his hands again and again and said, "Don't, don't, the groom is the biggest official today."

Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said, "Then listen to the magistrate."

Wang Huade hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Then I will lead the horse for my lord."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said, "It's not appropriate."

"Hey, my lord, you have worked so hard for Lantian. I'm very happy that I can do something for you. My colleagues, don't you think so?"

After hearing this, Wang Huade asked the magistrates behind him, and the magistrates repeatedly said yes after hearing this.

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said, "Master Wang, is there something you want?"

After hearing this, Wang Huade said: "Yes, my lord, it's like this, it's not an option for us people to stay idle all the time in Xi'an Mansion, so we want to ask your lord to find a job for us. If your lord is willing, we are willing." To serve as the head of a village under the command of the lord, it is fine for the old man to be the head of the middle, and please take it in with the lord."

After Li Chaosheng heard this, he looked at Wang Huade. Wang Huade was very uncomfortable being looked at by Li Chaosheng, but he still looked at Li Chaosheng with his scalp facing him. Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Huade and said, "Master Wang is a smart man, and Lantian is like this now. The situation can no longer accommodate your lord, and now it is difficult for me in Lantian to seek a position, if lord Wang has the spirit, why not go out of Shaanxi to operate, maybe your lord can be promoted to an official position."

After hearing this, Wang Huade said: "My lord, give me a clear way."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Okay, let me tell the truth, although Lantian is big now, the official system can't accommodate you. You have two ways to go now. The first is to stay and go to the government voluntarily. You can bring your own Family property, find a place in Lantian to naturalize, and live the life of a farmer from now on, study in leisure time, raise grandchildren, and be content."

"Another one, you can operate outside. I also know some officials in the court. If you are willing to make a generous contribution, I can let them find a way to move you out of Shaanxi and continue to serve as a county magistrate in other places. , or other officials, how you choose is up to you.”

Speaking of Li Chaosheng urging the horse, Wang Huade looked at Li Chaosheng after hearing this and said, "My lord, if we want to take care of Lantian County, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Prepare the money and wait for the letter."

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, he rode his horse away, leaving only a group of 'court officials' messed up in the wind.

"Brother Wang, what are you going to do?"

One county magistrate asked the other county magistrate, and at this time the brother Wang said: "Forget it, these years are full of chaos, I'd better settle down in Lantian, and tomorrow I will go to Shangluo County, where I have a house, and from then on I will live in Lantian." You are now a farmer, brother Li, how about you?"

"Hey, after ten years of hard work and five years of scientific research, I finally got a county magistrate. I only made less than 1 taels in three years after I took office. I am not reconciled. I am going to exercise again and see if I can save some money for myself." Capital."

Li Chaosheng rode forward, and Li Chaolong said from the side: "Xianzun, are you really going to buy officials for them?"

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "People's hearts are not enough, if these people are willing to be farmers, that's all. The money in it is the fat of the people, so if you don’t search it, it will be cheap for them.”

"Yes, scrape them off, hahaha..."
