Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 348 Epiphany
Da Ya was taken aback: "Why?"

Hulu: "I have to thank my aunt. This is the credit of my aunt. Didn't my aunt discover coal? Now many people burn coal, as long as the family is not bad, they usually burn coal. There are many, many fewer people who go to the mountains to cut firewood. The most important thing is that many mountains are now closed for forestation, and deforestation is not allowed!"

Da Ya: "Could it be that coal is also found here?" Otherwise, if it has to be transported from far away, the freight alone will be expensive, and the price of coal will not be very cheap.If it is not cheap, how can the villagers be willing to buy it and burn it?
Hulu: "Yes, two large coal mines have been discovered in Luhua Town, one of which is not far from Mengjiazhuang. There are more than a dozen large and small coal mines in Hulu County, so coal is very cheap For example, in our family, one and a half taels of silver is enough to buy briquettes a month!
If you buy firewood, you will need almost this much money.The county magistrate issued another announcement, calling on everyone to protect the mountains and forests, and not to cut down trees indiscriminately.Moreover, forest farms have been set up in many places nowadays, and there are special mountain patrollers. Once they are caught deforesting, they will be fined.If the circumstances are serious, they may even be arrested and sent to jail!So, there are more coal-burning people now, and in our village, almost [-]% of the people burn coal! "

"Oh, so that's how it is. It's pretty good!" Hearing this, Da Ya couldn't help nodding her head in approval. As expected of the place under the jurisdiction of Qiao Xingbang, the government office seems to be very effective in setting up forest farms and protecting forest resources.

Today, Qiao Xingbang is the governor of the Qingshuijiang area, and Hulu County is his jurisdiction.The new county magistrate, Lord Yu, came out of Guangming Academy, he is Yu Cheng's younger brother, and he is also a very good parent officer.He is a clean and honest official with a clean sleeve, willing to make decisions for the people, and is also very active in doing practical things for the people.

The coal in Hulu County was mined under the auspices of Qiao Xingbang and Master Yu. The two of them kept in mind the "Coal Mining Precautions" jointly written by Daya and Shui Qingqian, and took safety precautions very well.So far, no coal mines in Huxian County have collapsed, which is nothing short of a miracle.

It is conceivable how much preparation, effort and painstaking effort the two have made in terms of safety.It is also enough to show that both of them are very wise.

Da Ya couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, she knew exactly how much she weighed.If it weren't for relying on the space library and the knowledge of her previous life, she would actually be an ordinary woman in front of Qiao Xingbang and Shui Qingqian.

Now, almost one-third of the households in Shanqian Village at the foot of the mountain burn coal, which is a great thing.After all, no matter how cheap coal is, it has to be bought with silver money.As for the trees on the mountain, as long as they are dead branches, shrubs, thatch and thorns, they can be cut down at will, without spending a single copper coin.

It's just that, because there are restrictions on cutting firewood, you can only walk twenty or thirty miles before you can cut down a big dry tree.And the thatch can't help but burn, a large amount of thatch only needs to be cooked for one meal, which is far less convenient and less troublesome than briquettes.Therefore, anyone with a good family background is happy to buy briquettes for burning.

Today, in every village, there are stalls selling coal cakes.

Da Ya was so excited that she almost clapped her hands and laughed.

Qiao Xingbang and Mr. Yu did a great job in discovering coal mines and closing mountains for forestation.If you have time, you can meet these two people and listen to their opinions on the development of forestry.

Today, she is full of strong interest and curiosity about the wisdom of ancient people.

On the way to the academy, Da Ya found out that the road is lush and lush, and there is a sign of "closing the mountain for forestry" at the foot of the mountain, and even the thatch is very high and deep.The bare low mountains in my memory are now green, with small trees five or six years old all over the hills and slopes, fluttering in the wind.

In particular, the low mountains near Guangming Academy are particularly verdant, with many small and large trees planted there.It seems that it is planted year by year.

Hulu suddenly said: "Auntie, these trees are planted every spring on Arbor Day."

"Arbor Day?" Da Ya asked suspiciously.

Gourd: "Yes, the Arbor Day was decided by Governor Qiao. Now our entire Qingshuijiang Mansion, every year on the second day of February, is a tree planting day. People from the yamen bring people from various academies and schools to the side of the road And planting trees on the mountain, it is said to plant trees and afforestation, greening the environment!"

Da Ya and Shui Qingqian glanced at each other, and they both saw shock and relief in each other's eyes.

OK!very good!Great!
Five years ago, Da Ya and Shui Qingqian just mentioned it in their letters to Qiao Xingbang, and he really started some Arbor Day, and took the lead in implementing it.In five years, so many people planted trees together, closed mountains for afforestation, and discovered coal. No wonder Hulu County has become more beautiful!
Da Ya: "This Mr. Qiao is really not a simple person! No wonder, he is already a governor at such a young age! Such a person should be rated as one of the top ten young officials in Languo!"

Shui Qingqian also sighed and said: "Yes, he really deserves it! If there is a chance, I will mention it to the emperor. Don't let good people suffer! Good people should get the honor and credit they deserve, and they can't just be buried like this!"

Da Ya: "Well, if you encourage more and give appropriate rewards, more people will follow suit! There will be more and more good young people and good officials! One day, be a good official and a good person, It will become popular!"

Only when there are rewards can there be motivation and passion for work!

This is the incentive system!
Shui Qingqian: "You're right, I will definitely discuss with the emperor and give it a good push! I believe the emperor will be happy to see the result, and he will definitely look forward to it!"

While speaking, the carriage arrived at the gate of Guangming Academy.

The uncle who guards the gate knows Da Ya and Shui Qingqian. When he saw them, he immediately knelt down to pay his respects: "The little one has met the prince and concubine. The prince and concubine are auspicious!"

Before the two of them had time to stop him, he quickly knelt down, leaving the children stunned.

Shui Qingqian hurriedly stepped forward and helped the uncle up: "Uncle, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony in the future, just say hello!"

The uncle was very excited and a little uncomfortable, rubbing his hands vigorously: "You guys are back, that's good! That's good!"

A look of bewildered.

Da Ya waved her hand: "Uncle, don't be nervous, we're just here to take a look! In a few days, the children will be sent to school here! At that time, uncle, please take care of the children!"

The uncle nodded vigorously: "It's easy to say! Easy to say! You must take good care of the little prince and the little princess, and you will never let anyone bully them!"

The concubine was his savior, and after saving him, she was a good person to the end, and gave him the job of the concierge of the academy, allowing him to have money to support his family without being bullied.

The porter of Guangming Academy, in these ten miles and eight villages, who would dare to touch him easily?Moving him means fighting against the Rao family and King Pingxi.Who is so full that he dares to bully the people of Guangming Academy?
You know, Guangming Academy is under the name of Princess Pingxi, and was founded by the princess and prince himself!Moreover, Princess Pingxi is also an honorary mountain head!
Upon hearing the news, the head of the mountain came out with his master and students.

"Hello, lord, hello, wangfei!" Respectful greetings rang out in unison, echoing over the academy, and everyone knelt down.

Shui Qingqian quickly waved his hand: "Be flat, no courtesy! In the future, don't kneel and salute anymore! This king is just a prince, not a monarch, so you don't need to kneel and salute!"

The head of the mountain took the lead and stood up, respectfully replied: "Yes, my lord!"

I can't help but think with relief that Shui Qingqian is still the original Shui Qingqian, and he is not so superior just because he is a prince.With such a good person of status and status supporting the academy, those bullies and ruffians will not dare to make trouble and sabotage again in the future!

The prince was born as the No. [-] scholar, and the concubine is famous for her erudition. If they are willing to come to the academy to give lectures, maybe in a year or two, Guangming Academy will be famous all over the world!

The head of the mountain respectfully made a "please" gesture: "My lord and princess, please go to the reception room for a cup of tea!"

Shui Qingqian nodded: "Alright!" Then he said to Hulu: "You and Ping An take your younger brothers and sisters to play, pay attention to safety, and don't go out of the academy!"

Hulu nodded: "Uncle, I understand!"

He is very familiar with this academy, he studied in He Academy, and he knows almost everything here.

"Oh! Let's play!" Weilan smiled happily, took Yinyin's hand, and ran towards Meilin.

Yinyin is Erya's daughter.

Shui Qingqian looked at the children, and said gently to Da Ya: "Let's go, let's taste the good tea from Shanchang!"

Da Ya smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

In front of outsiders, Da Ya never steals words, tries to give Zuoshui a face, and let him speak and make decisions.First, he is her husband. In this society where men are superior to women, women are generally in the Lord; second, he is a majestic prince, without enough face and dignity, how can he stand up in front of the world?

Regarding this point, Da Ya has always been very protective, not letting Shui Qingqian lose her dignity and prestige in front of outsiders.

When Shan Chang heard that Shui Qingqian and Daya were going to live in Hulu County, he was overjoyed.

The head of the mountain said respectfully: "I don't know if the prince and the princess are free, can you come to the academy to teach? You don't have to come every day, when the prince and the princess are free, just come here occasionally!"

Shanzhang, I'm just waiting for your words!

Da Ya and Shui Qingqian couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

She and Shui Qingqian said that they came to the academy to teach, how can there be a mountain face, please?Speaking of teaching, if I only have ten classes a month, I think it will be a bad word.It's different when the head of the mountain invites you. It doesn't matter how many classes you want to take.

Shui Qingqian smiled and said: "Alright, this matter, the king and the princess will go back and discuss it!"

Shanzhang: "That's for sure. You must think about it before making a decision. I'm so impatient!"

Shui Qingqian: "My sons and daughters and Xiangxi's eldest son, Ping An, will come to the academy in a few days. Today we are here to say hello to Head Shan! Please let me know which class we are in. Please worry a lot! In addition, the academy cannot accept people with bad character, and the parents and elders of this person are people with bad character and difficult to deal with, so the academy will not accept them either! This is the rule set by the academy when it was founded. Don't know how it works?"

The head of the mountain hurriedly replied respectfully: "Returning to the prince, the old man has always kept in mind the teachings of the prince and the princess. The students who have been recruited over the years will carefully investigate the student's family background and how the family behaves. I dare not accept it." Every student here is good, but once something is wrong, he will be expelled in time, and he will never be merciless! Guangming Academy cannot tolerate students with bad character, and this old man has been working hard to implement it!"
