farming female castellan

Zhang Ci glanced at Chen Fan, and Chen Zhongyan also looked over: "No way? Is it because the elder sister lost money?"

Several people entered a tea house and found a private room to sit down.Chen Fan said: "The first thing to do is the raw materials, which are not expensive, but they are used in a large amount in a year; they are sent to the brick kiln to be forged and fired into cement; these are all paid by the county government. All the 15 shi in the granary are paid to the common people. Bought 30 shi of grain from local and foreign merchants, [-] guan. These are the most important expenses, which emptied the bottom of the county government. However, the land tax of [-] shi is new grain; The business tax that comes up includes food and money; foreigners who do business enter the city gate for two yuan, set up a stall for two yuan a day, and there is also a business tax, which increases a lot of taxes for the county government. They come to eat and lodging, and even buy houses and shops. It is also the income of Yuanshuo County. The money lost by the county government can be made up slowly."

Chen Zhongyan looked at her: "Did you subsidize the county government from your own pocket?"

Have it?Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci, didn't he?

"You only received 15 shi in land tax? How did you collect the [-] shi of stored grain before? Of course those grain merchants were happy to sell it to the county government for four fen a bucket of grain, but the people's grain was basically used for commodity transactions. From whom do grain merchants buy cheap grain?"

Chen Fan spread his arms and was too lazy to answer.People in Yuanshuo County are willing to exchange a large amount of grain for such expensive things as sugar, salt and meat, but there are still many people in other counties who are reluctant.

A catty of salt costs [-] Wen, and it takes more than a dozen buckets of grain to exchange for it.

Chen Zhongyan continued to ask: "Yuanshuo county government has so much money? The previous county magistrate didn't poke a few big holes. I'm sorry to be arrested. You, the new county magistrate, will have half your life to make up for the deficit."

this kid.

Chen Fan smiled: "You know how miserable I am, have you ever thought of pitying me and subsidizing a little more money and food to the county government?"

Chen Zhongyan chuckled: "Do you still need me to subsidize it? Do you have too much money, or do you never care about money? You are such a big local snake that you have fattened up the county government. It was the meaning of taking two pieces of jewelry at that time."

this kid.

Now that Yuanshuo County is his territory, would he mind stopping it after the search?
Chen Zhongyan said: "The king of Chu, the king of Wei, and the king of Qi like to do this kind of work. The inspection of corrupt officials is of great merit to the country, and it is beneficial to both the treasury and them."

After drinking tea, Chen Zhongyan said: "In the past, Changping Township sent millions of catties of rice and wheat. Everyone just thought that Changping Township was rich and made great contributions. But now the prince only pays hundreds of thousands of catties, just like cutting meat. It hurts just as much."

Chen Fan thought it was funny and laughed for a long time.

Zhang Ci looked at him: "Do you feel distressed?"

Chen Zhongyan chuckled: "Yuanshuo County is an ordinary place, so I just pay tribute. I don't have watermelons and grapes to honor him."

The three of them sat for a while and then went home.

"I don't see any guests during Chinese New Year, nor do I go out." Chen Zhongyan confessed,
"We are only busy on the first day of the new year, and I will go to Zhoucheng on the second day of the new year." Zhang Ci said.He is going to Zhoucheng to give intensive training to the Juren.

"It should." Chen Zhongyan nodded, "The governor of Xiangzhou is very kind. Half of the places are in Yuanshuo County, but he didn't do anything wrong. Let brother-in-law you go to train because he has vision and capacity."

Zhang Ci raised his eyebrows: "How can I say that I have taught all major academies in Xiangzhou, and all the students in Xiangzhou have made progress. You can't tell me to go to class, and then stab the knife secretly? Mr. Chen You are a ruthless person, and you will definitely settle accounts with them. Isn't it Mr. Chen?"

Chen Fan was a little confused, why did it involve her?
She nodded: "Of course. Husband is so powerful, he will make them cry as soon as he makes a move."

Chen Zhongyan laughed, and Zhang Ci had to laugh twice.

On the second day of the new year, Zhang Ci set off with the old and new Juren from Yuanshuo County.

Chen Zhongyan had a smirk on his face: "Those exams have been in the exam for two years, and they will definitely torture the exams in other places to the point of doubting their lives."

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "How can you get good grades if you don't pass the test? If you stay in the well every day, you will only see a big sky above your head. They should also see why Yuanshuo County can pass ten people in the exam."

She grew up from a small roll to a big one.

She refilled a cup of tea for Chen Zhongyan: "When you get to work, you will be in charge of the county government? The master and head secretary are not at home, and the five Caos are also working part-time. You can promote some people."

Chen Zhongyan shook his head: "I didn't bring the scholar here. Let's talk about it when these students come back from the test. They will hand over the copying and writing to the scribes. The eldest sister will take care of the new year's work. Chun Geng I know about those things too.”

After playing with the twins for a while, the two began to draw pictures.

The prince's house should be tall and spacious, exquisite, and the design drawn by Chen Fan is obviously different from Su Yuan Kuang Yuan.Chen Zhongyan has been fascinated by his ears and eyes over the years, and he has a lot of experience in gardening, and he also tried to draw floor plans and renderings.

He chose the patterns of flower windows and leaky windows he was satisfied with to paint, and he also figured out several new styles.

"Why do I feel weird?" He looked at a flower window pattern he had drawn.

Chen Fan glanced at it: "The shape is very beautiful, adjust the proportions and collocation."

Chen Zhongyan looked at it for a while, and drew a new one, very satisfied.

"How is the level of carpenters in Yuanshuo County?" he asked.

"Not sure. We can gather the carpenters in Xiangzhou and have a paid competition, which can also promote the craftsmanship of Xiangzhou." Chen Fan said.

Chen Zhongyan agrees with this method: "Let them cut wood and build a shed by themselves to solve the problem of living in the past two years; then conduct a basic test to see how their craftsmanship and efficiency are; let them make flower windows to see how delicate they are. Degree. The more excellent ones let them make a model, and the winner can be a foreman.”

"Will there be a competition for those who build walls and tiles? The winners will have more fame and more business and income." Chen Fan asked.

"Yes. All craftsmen must participate in tests and competitions, and their character can also be well reflected in the test competition."

Chen Zhongyan took the ink stick, Xiangjian and several of his own guards, went out for five days, determined a place, and brought the topographical map with him.

Yamen servants rushed to the state capital and various county yamen to pass on the message of recruiting craftsmen.

"We have fired a batch of cement pipes. Come and see if you want to use them in the garden." Chen Fan took Chen Zhongyan to the building materials warehouse of the county government.

"This is fun." Chen Zhongyan liked it very much. "It can be buried directly in the ground, which is much more convenient than building bricks and stones around the walls. This way the drainage ditch does not need to be opened, and the garden will be more beautiful."

He figured out the plumbing setup on the drawings again.

"What do you plan to make the drain of the house?" Chen Fan asked him.

"Dragon, change the appearance a little bit, and the water will come out from the mouth of the dragon." Chen Zhongyan has a soft spot for dragons
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the county government went to work.Chen Fan and Chen Zhongyan went to the county government together, held a New Year meeting, and focused on discussing the Nongsang plan.The officials were surprised to find that the sixth prince was very proficient in farming and mulberry matters.

Zhang Ci didn't get home until the tenth day of February. He said that the students had come back to rest for two days and were about to leave.

He looked at his two sons: "Why don't they seem to know me anymore? I've only been out for a month."

Chen Fan laughed and said, "They are playing tricks on you."
