King of Song

Chapter 191

It sounds ridiculous that a homicide occurred during the implementation of the Green Crop Law, but the possible impact of this matter is self-evident!

After all, the original intention was a decree that benefited the country and the people, but there was a very disharmonious situation during the implementation process, and a person died. What is going on?

Moreover, the death of Wang Yuanwai was directly caused by the officials and servants. The reason was that they were in conflict with and dissatisfied with the Young Crop Law, and even more so because of the conflict, the impact would inevitably be somewhat bad.

After this incident, Liu Hui, magistrate of Fuyang County, felt quite uncomfortable.Bad luck, really bad luck!
When the Green Sprout Law is in full swing, if one person dies, it will undoubtedly affect the normal implementation progress, effect, and affect his reputation.If this matter becomes a big issue, and conservative officials make a fuss about it, it may affect the overall situation.

Liu Hui was very annoyed, but she didn't dare to touch this bad head.For him, the introduction of the Young Crop Law is an excellent opportunity and the only hope for a better career, so nothing can be allowed to affect his future.

Therefore, Liu Hui's first thought was to cover up, to suppress the members of the Wang family, and let this matter never happen.

No matter what, I can be regarded as the lord of a county, and some things can still be done.As for the Wang family, relying on their own power, they are not afraid that they will be disobedient.As long as things don't make a big fuss, everything is easy to talk about!

At the beginning, the Wang family was very docile. Of course, maybe they were full of anger, but there was nothing they could do!Seeing this scene, Liu Hui was temporarily relieved.Perhaps in his eyes, a country gentleman can't afford to make big waves at all.

But obviously, he underestimated the squire's daughter...

Wang Chaoyun was very dissatisfied when he saw that the official was embarrassing his father, and he spoke out to defend his father, but after all, because he was too young to understand the dangers of the world, and his words were too pure and direct, the conflict escalated.

Wang Yuanwai was also in a rage and wanted to protect his daughter, but unfortunately died in the conflict.

After all this happened, Wang Chaoyun was very sad and blamed himself. In any case, his father's death was related to him.Of course, Miss Chaoyun is more angry and hateful!

Father was murdered!

Although Wang Chaoyun is only nine years old, he is surprisingly precocious and his mind is more mature.When the officials of the county government watched her house closely, she knew that there was no chance for the time being.

In order to take revenge, one must learn to be patient and learn to look for opportunities.

As time went by, the vigilance of Liu Hui and the guards decreased, and at the same time, they were mainly guarding against the adults of the Wang family.As for Wang Chaoyun, although he has the reputation of being smart, he is just a child after all, so his vigilance and defense are very lax!What can a little girl do?Isn't it just an ordinary squire who can beat the county magistrate?Perhaps Liu Hui never faced up to this matter from the beginning to the end.

Things often turn in unexpected places!

If he wanted to avenge his father, he had to find someone stronger than Fuyang county magistrate.Perhaps in the past, Wang Chaoyun was helpless, but now it is another matter.At least I have met Hangzhou Tongpan and Qiantang County once, and I have the impression that they are all kind and good people who hate evil like enemies.

It stands to reason that you should go directly to Hangzhou Tongjue. The little girl has been listening to her for the past few days, and she already understands the truth that the official rank crushes people to death.But for some reason, Wang Chaoyun first thought of Qiantang county magistrate, a handsome elder brother.

Perhaps it was because Lin Zhao hugged him around the waist to save him when he was in danger. Thinking of those strong arms and warm embrace, the little girl felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

So subconsciously, she felt that she should go to Lin Zhao!
So with the help of her family, the little girl sneaked out of Fuyang County...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the flower hall of Qiantang County, Lin Zhao is sitting and drinking tea with several beauties!
This year, I bought a lot of tea from the Meng family near the West Lake. The freshly produced tea tastes very good, and Lin Zhao is very satisfied with it!

"It's already summer, and after the spring tea comes out, the quality of this year's tea is gradually declining." Meng Ruoying said: "The workers are working very hard, and they have all been fried...but..."

"Just what?" Lin Zhao asked softly.

Meng Ruoying hesitated and said: "The quality of the spring tea is good, so it must be selling well, but the latter ones are really not that good... The sales may be..."

"Don't worry, they're all selling well!" Only then did Lin Zhao know that Meng Ruoying was worried that the quality of the tea would affect sales.

Xu Cishu in the Ming Dynasty said in "Tea Book" when talking about the tea-picking season: "Qingming is too early, Lixia is too late, and the time is right before and after Grain Rain."The quality of tea leaves changes with the seasons, and of course this is closely related to various natural conditions such as temperature and moisture.But one thing is certain, for the common stir-fried green tea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after Qingming and before Grain Rain, it is indeed the most suitable season for picking spring tea.It is said that in terms of time, Mingqian tea is the best tea, and Yuqian tea is the best tea.As for the beginning of summer, the quality of tea will drop a lot.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "No, I have sent people to Bianjing for Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea. I wonder if you like it?"

Whether it is cotton or Longjing tea, Lin Zhao wants to take the high-end route.I just heard him continue: "As for the tea produced after the rain and the beginning of summer, people in the Central Plains don't like it, but some people like it!"

"You mean...?" Meng Ruoying seemed a little puzzled by this.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Don't forget, people on the northern grasslands eat beef and mutton, which is unavoidably hot and hot. The tea is refreshing and just relieves oiliness. I think they will like it."

"By the way, when Xixia came to court last year, the Shaanxi/Xi Road market has already opened. It is a good idea to buy tea to the northwest, but it may require the approval of the government!"

The trade between the northwest border and Xixia is an important channel for mutual communication, but in this process, the Song Dynasty has always been cautious, and the management of trade merchants is extremely strict.Because they're worried about one thing, and that's smuggling...

You must know that there is a shortage of domestic materials in Xixia, and the market trade with the Song Dynasty is an important material circulation channel, and there is even a serious dependence.Whenever Xixia is disobedient, the Song Dynasty will close the discussion field, which poses a great threat to Xixia and has been tried and tested.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the country, the Empress Dowager Liang abolished the Han ceremony, and her relationship with the Song Dynasty was tense.But not long after, he still had to bow his head to the Song Dynasty for peace.What is the reason?In addition to stabilizing the domestic situation, another important reason is that there is no other choice.

However, in just one or two years, Xixia's domestic expenses have been seriously lacking, especially the green salt they produce cannot be exported, and some people are already struggling.Therefore, Queen Mother Liang's concession and bowing her head also have a realistic helplessness!
When Lin Zhao mentioned Northwest, the first thing Meng Ruoying thought of was Xixia!But after thinking about it, with Lin Zhao's network resources, it doesn't seem difficult to do this!
Lin Zhao just smiled lightly: "It's not just Xixia, tea can be sold to many places!" In my memory, there is an ancient tea-horse road that is very famous. If some models are successful, it may help solve some existing problems in the Song Dynasty.

As early as last year when he began to invest in cotton planting, Lin Zhao had an idea, and now a plan and suggestion had already been written and sent to Bianjing to play to Emperor Zhao Xu.

Presumably the officials will be interested, so these tea... The Meng family will have another lucrative business!Lin Zhao is very confident about this.

Seeing this, Meng Ruoying said: "Since you have already made arrangements, then I can rest assured..."

"It's okay, you can rest assured, but you should pay more attention to the matter of cotton, which can only be picked in autumn. Now is a critical period, and you can't relax!" In contrast, Lin Zhao cared more. is cotton.Tea has been drunk for thousands of years, but cotton...a new variety from overseas has a relatively low degree of acceptance and is now in a critical period of promotion, so it is natural to be cautious.

Meng Ruoying nodded and said, "No problem, I have already prepared all the food. As soon as the harvest is harvested, all the food will be distributed to the villagers. However, it is not easy to handle the harvested cotton..."

"What's the situation in the cotton spinning workshop?" Lin Zhaosi thought about it, and felt that cotton spinning, quilts, and cotton clothes should be made at the same time.After all, the most direct function of cotton is to weave and weave cotton cloth!
"It's already under construction, and it will be completed in autumn, but it needs a lot of female workers. Although there are many weaving girls in Jiangnan, most of them are familiar with silk and linen, and they are a little unfamiliar with cotton..."

"It doesn't matter, let's explore slowly first. We can recruit textile masters in Jiangnan with a lot of money. As long as they can contribute to or improve cotton weaving, they will be rewarded with a lot of money. Isn't there a model of a spinning wheel? As long as there is cotton thread, weaving Bu is exactly the same, it's definitely not very difficult!"

Meng Ruoying smiled softly: "You have thought of everything for me, but you..."

Lin Zhao also smiled helplessly. The young crop method last season was dealt with by the promotion of cotton planting, but what about the second half of the year?

You can't always exchange twice as much food like this, can you?After all, it is not a long-term solution. There are problems in the implementation of the Young Crops Law, and some opinions are not expressive.

Lin Zhaosi thought about it, and felt that the emperor Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi valued him so much, so naturally he should serve sincerely.Although the imperial court has been compelled to promote the Young Crop Law across the country, Lin Zhao feels that some opinions and suggestions should be said!
The emperor and Wang Xianggong, the emperor should be able to listen to it!It seemed a bit risky, so Lin Zhao still had some doubts.

At this moment, an officer came to report: "My lord, a little girl came to the door and said it was your... little friend, I want to see you!"
