Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 80 0076 [Dean Zhu with compassion]

early morning.

Zhang Guangdao and Chen Ziyi led the team back to the county to return to their orders, and Zhu Ming personally sent them to the riverside.

Then, Zhu Dutou, who was seriously injured, returned to Heifeng Village...to Daming Village to recuperate.

Chen Ziyi stood at the bow of the boat: "Brother Zhu is so capable, what's the point of nesting in the mountains? There are only a few hundred farmers, and he can make flowers?"

"I don't want to be oppressed by the government, I just want to be free." Zhang Guangdao said.

Chen Ziyi said: "You and brother Zhu are both capable, why don't you go to Qinfeng Road with me to join the army. The real man is alive, but the fame and fame can be obtained from the horse, and he will be a wife."

Zhang Guangdao looked disdainful: "You can get it in the army? It's all the way with the government, and they are all picky birds. Brother Chen will go to the army, and he will have to feel useless."

Chen Ziyi said: "I have the ability, who dares to make me angry?"

"Hehe." Zhang Guangdao smiled without saying a word.

"exist!"

"Go today?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.

This belongs to Enyi, and the Bai family has inherited Zhu Guoxiang's affection.

The county magistrate quietly recruited Bai Chongwu, and ordered in a low voice, "Send someone to inform Zhu Chenggong immediately, and ask him to put on makeup and pretend to be seriously injured. Don't let the envoy see the clue."

The results of it?
No one grows tea on Kuizhou Road now.

One more thing is worse than one less thing, and the county government can only cooperate.

Cao Shou said angrily: "It's not just rich! The rewards they got had to be loaded in boats, and now they are parked by the river."

Lu Tixue asked again: "Is this Zhu Ming successful in writing?"

He could only answer: "The bandit was injured and is recuperating at home."

And for such a great contribution, why should I send a few bounties.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came: "I'm also here to join in the fun."

"I don't know?" Several archers shook their heads, they only knew Zhu Dutou and Zhu Dalang.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "What is written on paper is not very clear after all. If there is any mistake in the farming here, the old staff can send someone to Daming Village... that is, Heifengzhai to find me. I have no other ideas. Under this, farmers can harvest more grain, and everyone can have enough to eat. Whether it is the method of farming, or the corn and sweet potatoes, veterans can spread it to outsiders. The more people know about it, the better, and everyone can have a good life.”

The county government was running wild, and a group of subordinate officials followed the magistrate, and went to the county to learn from the county without any image.

Bai Zongwang was completely at ease, and Zhu Guoxiang was willing to stay in the village, which proved that the Zhu family and his son intended to live in peace for a long time.He also reciprocated: "Official Lu in the county has a very good friendship with me. I can help introduce some of the tea from Heifengzhai to the market in the future, and the rest can be sold to official Lu."

Hu Tiesi, who was in charge of the military case, was ordered to come to the school grounds, and selected several teams of miscellaneous soldiers to stay in charge of escorting the bandits to Yangzhou.He said to the rest of the archers: "You guys should disband and go home immediately, don't miss the farming time."

What the hell is the Eight Elements?

"Heifengzhai and its surrounding areas will be called Daming Village from now on, Brother Zhu changed the name." Tian San explained.

"It's time for Mrs. Shen to enjoy the blessings. The magistrate has rewarded a lot of land."

Zhu Guoxiang looked back, but it was Bai Zongwang who came by sitting on his bamboo chair.

A scholar with eight legs running sideways like a crab?
Archers haven't even heard of it.

Grandma Yan went to boil the water herself, and Shen Yourong brought the child out with the bench.

By the river, an official ship docked.

This is not an investigation of the Eight Elements Scholars, it is obvious that they are going to visit the mountains and rivers.

As for the money in the minister's treasury, it is almost used up.

Bai Zongwang sighed in his heart, if Zhu Guoxiang's words are true, his Bai family has accepted another favor.

Take the Sichuan and Shaanxi roads as an example, there is no ban on tea in Kuizhou Road, which is a way for the imperial court to survive for Sichuan tea.

"Through the Three Classics? But Zhu Chenggong?" Xiang Zhixian was a little speechless.

"It's just the land, Heifengzhai also has a tea mountain."

"More than that." Zhu Guoxiang replied.

When they came to the gate of the county school, everyone tidied up their clothes and walked in gracefully and calmly.

Zhu Guoxiang's words and deeds are enough to be called impartial.

Bai Zongwang couldn't help asking: "How do corn and sweet potatoes compare to corn and taro?"

The bowls were not enough, and the villagers took turns to drink, sticking out their tongues and praising: "It's really good tea, I've never drank it before, this time thanks to Zhu Xianggong!"

Xiang Zhixian got the household register and field record from Zhu Ming, and laughed angrily on the spot, threw it to the household registration post and said, "Come and make the register."

"Ugh!"

Tian San said: "I'm here to report, Zhu Da...Zhu Xiucai broke down the bandit village. Heifeng Village will be renamed Daming Village from now on, and the county magistrate has rewarded Zhu Xiucai there."

Bai Erlang doesn't talk too much, his family has already benefited, and it is the best policy to make a fortune in silence.

Several teams of archers remained on the shore, and they guarded a ship full of rewards.

Zhu Guoxiang was tending the vegetable field with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and when he heard the shouts, he stood up with a smile, and said calmly, "It's not too late to break the thief in three or four days."

When the archers disband and return home, they will press the roster to collect taxes.At this time, we can't press too much. When the autumn grain is collected, we will go to collect taxes severely. By then, the archers will already be in a mess.

But no one dared to do anything, and the archers hadn't disbanded yet, so to seize their rewards at this time would be tantamount to forcing hundreds of archers to rebel.

He has to go bankrupt again!

Zhu Guoxiang usually taught farmers how to farm, but he actually wanted to write it down in black and white, and generously handed it over to the Bai family.

No matter how many people and land are hidden, at least Zhu Ming made it clear that he wants to be a clean and good citizen, not to occupy the mountain and become king in Heifengzhai.

The villagers were stunned, and then ran all the way: "Zhu Xiucai broke the Black Wind Village, and the county magistrate rewarded him there!"

Zhu Dutou was rewarded a lot, and they had already made enough money, so the government would not give it if they didn't. It would be safer to bring the money home as soon as possible.

Probing to the county magistrate, "How does Lu Tixue know this person?"

A villager couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhu went there, can I learn farming from you next year?"

More and more villagers gathered in the yard. After Mrs. Yan finished boiling water, Shen Yourong came out with a stack of bowls.

Bai Qi was also helping out in the field. The little kid didn't understand, but he only knew that Big Brother Zhu had done a great job, and he was surrounded by villagers and went home in a daze.

The principal of the county school quickly responded.

The villagers who were running fast had gathered around, chattering non-stop.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Thank you for your help."

Tian San said: "It will be done in a few days."

The villagers asked, "Why are you looking for Mr. Zhu?"

This is true.

"Should be."

These people went out of the city in twos and threes, bragging about the process of suppressing the bandits along the way, as if all of them were Lu Bu alive.

Tian San finally arrived, and greeted him with cupped hands: "Do you still remember me, Mr. Xiang?"

Of course, according to them, Zhu Ming was the most powerful, beheading the village leader Yang Ying alone.

Now even Grandma Yan laughed from ear to ear, picked up the hoe and said, "Everyone goes to my house to have tea, and the old man sent a few squares of tea, which is not so good in the past."

Bai Zongwang took this as goodwill, and the bamboo house fell in the courtyard, and the villagers greeted him one after another.

Many unique skills in ancient times were kept secret.

The more Xiang Zhixian thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nothing he could do.

"What did Da Lang ask you to pass on?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.

it's over?
The archers stood there stupidly, they still hadn't been paid.

Shangbai Village.

The archers clamored all over the school grounds, but there was no real disturbance.

Xiang Zhixian said to the military case posting officer: "The archers will be sent home today. I don't want to see them for a moment. Don't pay the unpaid soldiers' salary. These Qiuba must have money!"

Immediately, Bai Zongwang was in awe, asked his servants to help him stand up, bowed earnestly and said: "Mr. Zhu is benevolent and righteous, I thank you here!"

Is it possible that we still have to send troops to fight there?
What's more, the pacification of the bandit village, the county government has more household registrations and more farmland, which is considered a small political achievement.

Take your time, the summer grain collection date has not yet expired.

He Tiesi read the household register and field register, but was also speechless for a while.

Xiang Zhixian complained secretly, because Xixiang County is too small, and the public money allocated by the court is almost nothing.

"What village?" Zhu Guoxiang grasped the point instantly.

This way of eating can be called a cow chewing peony.

"Big lady Yan is also very lucky, just waiting to be an old lady."

Hearing this, Zhu Guoxiang was completely relieved, knowing that his son had no difficulties.

"A scholar of the Eight Elements is going to suppress the bandits?" Lu Tixue's interest in learning increased greatly, "Sure enough, he is both civil and military, so I will recommend him to enter the Imperial Academy! Since he is seriously injured and rested, I will come to the door in person. Professor Qian..."

When the county professor heard that the envoy was coming, he hurried out to greet him, and sent someone to report to the county government.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ground the tuancha, poured it into a bowl, washed it, and then stirred it with chopsticks.

Lu Tixue disembarked with a dozen entourages and found that the pier was very lively.He listened carefully for a while, and asked, "This Zhu Ming who suppressed thieves is Zhu Ming, a scholar of the Eight Elements?"

Hell, he had to help Zhu Ming cover up.

Lu Tixue ordered: "You take the top ten students in the county school quarterly examination, and then call some scholars from this county to visit Nazhu Chenggong together in two days. I heard that Xixiang is rich in wine and tea, so I just go boating Han River, brewing tea and discussing scriptures, isn't this a great pleasure in life?"

"..."

He asked a villager who was working in the field: "Where is Mr. Zhu's house?"

Zhu Guoxiang said again: "After the corn and sweet potatoes are harvested, I will also leave some seeds in Shangbai Village. I will also write down the cultivation method carefully."

Xiang Zhixian forgot everything in an instant, and shouted suddenly: "Hurry up and get the money from the minister's treasury, arrange a banquet, and the rest of the subordinates will come with me to meet the school officials!"

"Teacher?"

A selfless person is always admirable.

Whoever dares to snatch it must do his best!
Perhaps because he was going to join the army, Chen Ziyi didn't show off when he entered the city, and went to the school grounds to report honestly.

After hearing this, Bai Zongwang was completely convinced, even admired.

Lu Tixue said: "When I was in Yangzhou, Li Tongpan mentioned it a lot, so I came here to test and teach him in person during this trip."

It is impossible for him to move to Daming Village this year, so he has to stay here and keep an eye on the corn and sweet potatoes.These two things are more valuable than anything else. Even if Daming Village doesn't want them, they still have to look after corn and sweet potatoes.

"Hello, old man!" Zhu Guoxiang greeted with clasped fists, his attitude was the same as before, and he didn't cheer up immediately.

After Sichuan tea was banned, it was stipulated that good tea must be officially sold, but a small amount of loose tea was allowed to be sold privately.However, there are also strict restrictions on private sales, and only teas below the third grade can be sold, and they cannot be sold outside the county.

Although the top-quality tuancha is made by the Bai family, it is definitely not as expensive as the market, but it is still a rarity for the villagers.

Zhu Guoxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and muttered: "You little bastard!"

Tian San walked with the archers in a small boat, and landed here.

"This is natural." Zhu Guoxiang's teaching materials have been compiled.

Bai Zongwang sighed and said, "Everyone can have enough to eat. It's very rare. The more food you grow, the harder the government will tax you. There will always be some exorbitant taxes."

Chen Ziyi was thoughtful, he always felt that Zhu Ming wanted to make trouble, but he didn't think about rebellion.I didn't care about it at the moment, rode my own horse, went out of the city to get the reward on the boat, and hired a few coolies to carry the money home.

Shen Yourong followed this pattern, in her eyes, Dean Zhu knew everything, and even expected the success of suppressing the bandits, at this moment she said with admiration: "Your husband is a good parent, only Da Lang can be such a hero. "

Can he still say that he and Zhu Ming made money in partnership and got more benefits than Zhu Ming?
……

Lu Tixue became more and more confused, and took his men into the city to go to the county school.

The father and son must be selling private tea, because the tea horses are exploited too much, and law-abiding tea owners can easily lose money.

Can you not accept it?

Not only was Tian San able to survive and keep his original property, but he was also rewarded with a hundred acres for nothing.Who dares to oppose Zhu Ming in the future, he can immediately pick up a knife and kill people.

Bai Zongwang said: "Since Zhu Xianggong will not leave for the time being, please teach the village school first, and leave some time for me to hire another scholar."

"I'll help the old lady get the hoe!" A villager rushed forward.

Zhu Guoxiang nodded and said, "You are Tian San."

Bai Zongwang asked: "Mr. Zhu wants to move out?"

"My subordinate, Xiang Bi, pay my respects to Lu Tixue!" Xiang Zhixian bowed and bowed.

Since it was recommended by Li Tongpan, how dare Xiang Zhixian speak ill?

Not long after, the news spread, and the surrounding villagers all came to congratulate him.

Everyone returned to the county seat by boat, one by one the heads were carried ashore, one by one the thieves were escorted to the school grounds, and the whole city people came to watch the excitement.

Lu Tixue was chatting with the county professor, turned his head and said with a smile, "Are you the parents of this county? Professor Qian and I were talking about the Eight Elements scholar, but he didn't know that there is a child prodigy in this county who has mastered the three classics."

It's so nonsense, I don't know how to complain.

Tian San said happily: "Thanks to Mr. Zhu, I was appointed by Brother Zhu as the head of Jia in Daming Village."

Zhu Guoxiang told the truth: "I will leave after the corn and sweet potatoes are harvested, and I have to ask the old staff to take care of them."

Zhu Guoxiang thought for a while and said: "I will write an article on the method of farming and give it to the old man. You can learn from the old man."

When all the government officials heard this, their eyes turned red with jealousy.

If you want to entertain the student envoy well, you probably have to pay the county magistrate himself.

Tian San said again: "Brother Zhu is very righteous, we all obey him."

It is said that killing a tiger is hard even for a tiger, and now Zhu Dutou has a quack nickname: Tiger with Wings!
Zhu Ming, the winged tiger, well... it's okay.

That guy surnamed Zhu is nothing like a scholar of the eight elements, his mother is a living bandit!
Lu Tixue stroked his beard and smiled: "It's Zhu Chenggong."

"When will Mr. Zhu visit the church? I'm still waiting for the wedding wine."

Tian San said: "Brother Zhu asked Xianggong to go over and have a look, and take the cornucopia along the way."

The local government reset the card on Kuizhou Road, and the tea merchants would not go far, and they would collect taxes at the head of the column.As a result, the commercial tax on Kuizhou tea was several times that of the tea itself. The tea merchants were unprofitable, and the tea farmers were also unlucky.

Even private tea has disappeared, because there are too many tax collection stations, and it is difficult to get through all the joints, and even if they get through, there is no money to be made.

Zhu Guoxiang looked pitiful and compassionate: "It is good for the common people to collect a few more buckets of grain. Let's do our best and obey the destiny."

If Zhu Ming were present at this moment, he would definitely say: "Put it on, keep on pretending, Dean Zhu, your acting skills are good, you already have half of my skills."
