I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 240 Comparable to Tao Zhugong!
The moon is bright in the sky, and it sprinkles pieces of clear light.

The gentle breeze by the river blows away the hustle and bustle of the day.

In the distance, there is still the faint sound of silk and bamboo, a quiet blur.

Guo Yi and Lin Jiamu stood side by side by the river, blowing the breeze, looking at the brightly lit boats in the river.

"Erlang, to be honest, Brother Yu had already visited Mr. Qingzhi the day before yesterday. He is an old man, and he is a close friend with his mentor."

Oh!
No wonder!
No wonder the magistrate of Songlin County has such a low profile. The dignified candidate for the imperial examination last year actually asked this young boy for advice.

It turned out that the great Confucian Xue Qingzhi was responsible for it.

Guo Yi nodded knowingly, and Lin Jiamu turned his head to look at him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qingzhi, I admire Erlang very much in terms of words, and praise you for being an outstanding talent.

He even took me to the porcelain kiln workshop and the hydraulic loom workshop, and I had to sigh Erlang's knowledge and versatility.

No wonder the teacher once said that if I stay behind closed doors in the capital, it is tantamount to building a car behind closed doors and watching the sky from a well.

Before leaving, the teacher repeatedly entrusted him to come to Jiangling City to visit the master, so as to listen to the teachings and ask for advice.

Therefore, Mr. Qingzhi did not hide anything.One is to teach Brother Yu, and the other is to make suggestions.

Also please Erlang don't blame Mr. Yu! "

As expected of a famous student, he took care of all aspects, but he was also afraid that he might misunderstand and become suspicious of Xue Qingzhi.

Guo Yi naturally understood the hidden meaning, so he smiled wryly and shook his head: "Brother, please rest assured, I have no such intentions. Mr. Qingzhi is right, brother is the first time as a magistrate, it is inevitable that you will not know what to do, read more It's good to have a look!"

"Yes!" Lin Jiamu sighed sadly: "I was in the capital, and I was used to seeing singing and dancing, but once I got there, I was hit head-on.

How can there be any singing and dancing?
There are only naked clothes and no food to eat!
Looking at the dilapidated house, it is even more confusing. "

This time, it was Xu Xianggong's intention to know the magistrate of Songlin County. Let him start from the basics, so that he can see the suffering of the people.

But this is too bitter, right?
Apart from wryly smiling, he was more at a loss, not knowing what to do, let alone where to start!

Because, apart from studying and handling government affairs, he knows nothing about business and the like.

The foundation of Songlin County is really too bad.

"Brother Yu has already consulted Mr. Qingzhi, but Mr. Erlang recommended Erlang. He asked Brother Yu to consult Mr. Xianzhi to see if there are any strategies to make a fortune."

Ho!
This Xue Daru thinks highly of himself!

Thank you ha!

Guo Yi pondered for a while, then said carefully: "Well... to make a fortune, in a sense, is a very broad term. Just like Jiangling Mansion, when I first met His Highness the King of Chu, he also asked this question.

The answer I gave was to repair bridges and repair roads, raise chickens, ducks and rabbits, open machinery and handicraft workshops, and carry out extensive infrastructure construction.

Carrying out infrastructure construction is a very broad term.He was able to recruit a large number of laborers, which brought extra income to the people during the slack season and also promoted the circulation of various materials.

The income from farming alone is too simple and thin.Once God is unhappy, there will be a drought or flood, which will directly lead to barren fields and no harvest.

That is definitely the consequence of family ruin! "

Guo Yi is right, farming means watching the sky for food.

"But apart from farming, what else can you do? Conscript labor to build bridges and repair roads, but where does the money come from? Jiangling City has paper workshops, saltworks, and porcelain kilns. As a support, it can continuously increase sources of income. .

What about Kesonglin County?What can be used as a source of income? "

Hearing this question, Guo Yi couldn't help being stunned. He was right. The prerequisite for infrastructure construction is to have money to pay wages.

He thought about it for a while, and said: "It's better than this, Songlin County is also owned by Jiangling Mansion. The repair of bridges and roads will naturally be counted as Jiangling Mansion.

Brother, let's organize manpower and pave and repair official roads.According to the model of Jiangling City, a few villages were found to be responsible for opening kilns and burning bricks to replace corvees.

And the bricks and stones that were fired were used to pave official roads and build houses.As for the wages for forced labor, it comes from the Jiangling treasury. "

Judging from Lin Jiamu's words, he should be a practical official.In this regard, Guo Yi will not be stingy, and will help him as much as possible.

Those who can promote Jinghu North Road to become rich and well-off, and those who can help me complete the task are all friends.

When Lin Jiamu heard the words, his brows were filled with joy, he straightened his body, straightened his clothes, and saluted Guo Yi neatly, "Erlang Gaoyi! Brother Yu, thank you for this!"

Sure enough, as Mr. Qingzhi said, this is a master who accepts softness but not toughness, and is also a impartial and selfless person.

If you treat him well, he will surely treat you well.

Guo Yi didn't dare to be negligent, so he stood up straight and bowed neatly, "Brother, you are welcome! As His Highness's aide, I should share His Highness's worries and let the people on Jinghu North Road get over it as much as possible!

Brother Yu admired his elder brother's character and quality.I should do my best! "

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and then added: "In this way, there are [-] to [-] rabbits in my place, and [-] to [-] rabbits will be produced every month, and one thousand rabbits will be distributed to Songlin County every month.

In addition, there are kang hatching duck eggs, and at least two to three thousand ducklings will be hatched every month, and one thousand ducklings will also be distributed to Songlin County.

Well, there are also paper-making workshops. I sent people to Songlin County to build several paper-making workshops. The common people provide reeds, and we charge them at a high price.

As for the profit from selling paper, [-]% is distributed to the Songlin Treasury to offset taxes. "

What he said, but thought of a new idea.The cubs produced in the future and the hatched chickens and ducks will not be sold, but will be distributed throughout the Jinghu North Road.

First distribute it to the common people free of charge, and then pay back one to one after the bastards or chicken and duck eggs are dropped.

In this way, the people can get benefits for free.

In the production team in his previous life, it is said that such activities were carried out.But for some reason, it didn't continue.

At this time, Lin Jiamu couldn't help but think of how generous this handsome boy who was younger than him would be!

Originally, Mr. Qingzhi said that Guo Erlang would definitely have a solution, but he still didn't believe it.

Because, he also went to Songlin County to see it, and there were dilapidated and dilapidated things everywhere.No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think of any solution.

But now, he had to admit that there was a specialization in surgery!

The great Confucian Xue Qingzhi has said that this Guo Erlang was born to be a businessman, comparable to Tao Zhugong...

Sure enough, I was right, they not only have a solution, but also one after another, in a clear way.
