Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 259 Ruins
Gu Jinli looked at Madam Chen and sneered: "The cheapest shop on the main street of the city is 122 taels, and the most expensive is the Fugui Building. There was a large courtyard and a two-story attic in front of the shop. When I bought it, relying on Zou Xiancheng's relationship, it cost over 300 taels. Our budget is 120 taels, the cheapest, and aunt wants to spend money. Will your family pay extra money? "
Look, you're crazy, you still live in an old mud house, and you dare say that you spent money to buy a store, you know, do you want me to feel your pulse and see how old your illness is?
Chen choked, and immediately stopped talking. Gu Jinli did not bother talking to her, and said to the third grandfather: "Third grandfather, let's go, let the noble lady stay and help, however, she can't go
to Uncle Shang's house."
But Jiang Shi had only come to Gu's house once, and he couldn't find a chance even if he wanted to curry favor.
The third grandfather said: "Daughter-in-law, you can help Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law, or go home. There are still many unparalleled herbs at home. You have to catch up. " Writing poetry and
book , Madame Chen is a village woman, what can she talk about with Madam Jiang? Spraying vegetable scum all over the food, if she was allowed to leave, it would be a shame.
Seeing the third grandfather's unkind face, Madam Chen didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, so he could only follow Luo Huiniang and his daughter back to the stall to help.
Gu Jinli and the others could not leave empty-handed, so they also went to the tofu stall to buy some bean dregs cakes, instead, three pieces of white tofu and specially prepared seasoning catties, and when they passed the farmer's stall, they bought a basket of eggs and went to the village.
The agricultural goods stall was on the same street as their tofu stall, passing through a long agricultural goods stall, they reached the guard post of Qingfu City.
The gate was very high, and was built here when Qingfu City existed, but the carvings and colors on it were still bright and attractive.
As he passed through the gate tower, the third grandfather said: "The sign of this gate tower is an important thing in the city. Every year, the wealthy in the city pay money to repair the gate tower and repaint the gate tower. The better the color of this gate tower sign, the better the color of the gate tower in the city. People's lives will be more prosperous."
Gu Jinli nodded while listening, and continued walking forward, and after a few meters from the guard post, he arrived in the desert.
The vacant land was on the left side of the main road that entered the city, and the area outside the main road belonged to this vacant land. The other six or seven meters distance was where the people in the city threw out their trash.
This landfill is very large, with a size of more than one to two hectares, the landfill used to be a large barbed land, this thorny land is too large, this thorny land is too big, there were about four acres of land vertically and horizontally; there were clumps of weeds, and there was a large bamboo forest in the distance.
Standing on tiptoes, Gu Jinli looked at the straw grass in the distance, and vaguely saw some ruins ... It seems like this place is not a desert, but ruins!
It seems that this desert has some origins.
Gu Jinli did not dare to look here for too long, and only stayed for a while, then followed the third grandfather and continued walking towards Shangjia Village.
...
Right now in the Shang family, Gu Jinan was talking to Shang Xiucai about Sun Lichang: "Master, Sun Lichang is a ruthless official, we can't help it, we can't help it, we should take this opportunity to get rid of him. ." Shang Xiucai stood at the
workspace , drawing mountains and rivers with brushes, and asking, "What's the reason? How do I get rid of it?" Gu Jin
Shang Xiucai: "What about the evidence? We must pay attention to the evidence in every way, and you cannot punish Sun Lichang by saying how many evil things he has done."
Gu Jin'an dodged Shang Xiucai's question, Seeing him, he smiled and said, "Master, we don't need any criminal evidence to get rid of a chieftain right now."
Shang Xiucai became interested when he heard this, and finally raised his head to look towards Gu Jin'an: "What do you mean?"
"Master, I told the students a while ago that in half a year, the judge will be removed, and now I'm worried about my lack of political achievement, and I'm afraid I'll be moved to a bad place." Gu Jinan said with a smile: "That disciple happened to have the idea of letting the county magistrate make a political achievement."
Shang Xiucai knew that Gu Jinan was learning to test his fame, so that he could gain a foothold in the official post.in the future, so Shang Xiucai told him about the local government officials, and asking him to listen and have more contact with her, I will not panic in the future.
“What idea?”Shang Xiucai put down his pen, sat up straight, and pretended to listen attentively.
Gu Jin'an said: "The drought in the northwest and the disasters of war, the courts are short of money, and there are many cities in Dachu, some cities can be four miles long, and at least two. If Chu is large The number of village heads in each Chu city has been reduced to two, which can save a lot of money and food for the palace.” “
One village chief can have a salary of five taels of silver and three shi of rice each year. The half mile length, money and rice that the imperial court could save each year was immeasurable."
After Shang Xiucai heard this, he looked at Gu Jin'an's slightly bright eyes, and he, a student, was really nothing in the pond world.
It's just that: "The position of the village chief follows the ancient law, and that is the relationship between the court and the people. It is related to various court taxes. It is very unlikely to make a mistake. If half the village chief is removed, the tax revenues will be wrong. People can't manage it well, so what should we do?"
Gu Jin'an laughed and said, "Master is wrong, it's the village chief who really connects the court with the people. There are two chiefs in a town.
"The village chiefs are all of peasant background, and they are the ones who are the most able to relate to the people. Farmers are easily satisfied. If you give them the status and salary of one tael of silver, they will be able to devote themselves in court." Shang Xiucai said: "You're right
. This is very nice. These deals are very cost-effective, and adults in the household department will count them, but why haven't any adults raised them in court for years? Because Dachu is still unstable, adults feel it is inappropriate to move too many things." Gu Jinan laughed
: "Master, is Da Chu stable now? Moreover, the court was short of money and food, and too many village heads were a bad habit from the previous court. As long as the county magistrate wrote these two points, the Saint would be overjoyed. Adults will be happy too."
When you have money and food, you will have a lot of objections.When you have no money, no food and clutter, who cares about the details?
And the Da Chu state was obtained by rebelling against the previous dynasty, and the punishment for the bad habits of the previous dynasty was enough to make the adults in the palace nod.
As Gu Jin'an said this, there was a newborn calf spirit that was not afraid of tigers in his eyes, which made Shang Xiucai decide to help him.
"Okay, I will personally go to the county to tell my father-in-law about this matter. But this matter was too big, and it would offend many village heads. Back then, the adults would have been fine, but you would have suffered So this time, you had a little credit No, No, I won't let my father-in-law mention your name in front of the county magistrate."
If Gu Jinan was already an official, or lived in a prefectural city, this credit could be given to him, but he still lived in the countryside now, with so much credit will be killed by the deposed chieftains.
