The strong drink is ready
The boss of the workshop said coquettishly:
"The land to the east of the county has always been a place where people in the city dump their garbage. After this cleanup, the people in the city are going to dump their garbage there!"
The boss of the workshop is right that he didn't think it through well, but it's also simple. Put garbage collection baskets in the corners of the city and hire people to collect the garbage to the landfill every day.
To punish those who litter and urinate everywhere, they can be punished by taking out the garbage for a day, or they can pay a fine of one yuan. Let the street patrol officers be responsible for this.
Immediately, he called Qian Dianshi and the team leaders over. He told him that Qian Dianshi would make an announcement about the decision and asked the government officials to announce it on the streets every day for seven days before it would be implemented.
After making these arrangements, Zhang Zongxian could finally go back and take a nap. He was a little tired from the hard work last night. When he went back to the backyard and sat down, he saw Su'e walking towards her with a bowl of porridge.
First, he took off his shoes, and then wiped his face with a towel. After wiping his face, he fed him porridge. Zhang Zongxian looked at Su'e and thought about the virtues of his girlfriends in his previous life. This feudal society only
It’s a man’s paradise!
After finishing the porridge, Zhang Zongxian hugged Su'e on his lap. In broad daylight, Su'e was very shy and could only bury her head in Zhang Zongxian's arms.
Zhang Zongxian stroked Su'e and kept blowing into her ear, making Su'e's body tremble. At this time, Zhang Zongxian could no longer hold back the anger he had felt in the morning and directly picked up Su'e and carried her into the bedroom.
Although I was a little tired, I arrived at the school on time and gave a lecture to the soldiers. After the lecture, I checked the recent training results. These soldiers are already proficient in changing from four columns to two columns, and the basic standing at attention seems to be no problem. Zhang Zongxian
I also thought of those scenes in movies where military salutes are exchanged and shouting slogans to each other.
So he found a good minister and issued a new military rule. When the soldier saw the officer, he changed his salute to stand at attention, strike the left chest with the knife in his right hand, and shout "Da Ming Wansheng". The officer should also shout "Da Ming Wansheng" in return. This military rule was immediately announced.
And strictly implement it. From now on, when he is in the military camp, the soldiers will also salute him in this way.
After giving lessons to the selected people, Zhang Zongxian went back to the study room in the backyard of the county government office to write teaching materials.
After the morning meeting, Zhang Zongxian asked Qi Dashui to call shopkeeper Liang.
Soon, shopkeeper Liang and his two sons came to Zhang Zongxian carrying a wine jar sealed with soil.
It seems that the wine has been made.
After asking them to carry the wine to the study, Lao Liangtou broke the soil on the wine jar and immediately smelled a strong aroma of wine. Lao Liangtou scooped up a bowl of wine and brought it to Zhang Zongxian.
Zhang Zongxian first smelled it and then took a sip. Although the taste was not as mellow as in his previous life, in terms of intensity, it beat all the wines in Daming. The old couple saw that Zhang Zongxian was quite satisfied, so they breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately said excitedly:
"This wine by the County Master is absolutely unique in the world! It was made in a hurry and some raw materials from the past were used. The wine is being fermented according to the craftsmanship given by the County Master. It will be ready soon."
"Very good, you have to produce in large quantities and store everything after production. A warehouse will be built in Dongcheng soon. There are plenty of storage places. These spirits will not be sold outside."
"That one from the county magistrate~" Zhang Zongxian saw that he was hesitating as if he had something to say.
Old Liangtou! You and I are now a family. Your daughter is my concubine and your grandson is my disciple. If you have anything to say, just say it. I won’t blame you if I say something wrong.
"Can the county magistrate allow me to mix this strong wine with my wine to produce a new wine? After mixing, it will be stronger than the original wine, but not as strong as Erguotou, but it can really achieve the aroma of wine.
You are inviting visitors here wantonly!"
"I understand what you mean. Bring me the mixed wine and let me have a taste."
The old man took out a wine flask from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Zongxian. Zhang Zongxian opened it and took a sip. He felt that the alcohol was not high, just a little higher than the original wine, but it was indeed very fragrant. Zhang Zongxian thought for a while and told the old man:
"I know you want to sell this kind of wine. It's not impossible. I have also considered how to sell these wines in the future. I gave you five hundred taels and the production technology of Erguotou. These are all my shares. From now on, the wine
The money earned by the winery is divided into 30% and 70% between us, 70% for me and 30% for you. The output of the winery
I will buy Erguotou for three taels of silver per kilogram of wine, and the annual production of wine shall not be less than thirty thousand kilograms. You will build a separate winery to produce the newly brewed wine. I will build a horse market in Dongcheng, and there will be a lot of it.
When the caravan comes, we can sell the wine from the winery to them."
"Your Majesty, this winery belongs to you. How can we get 30% of it? We can just get 10% of it."
"You can take 30% if I ask you to. Have you decided on a name for the new wine? How much do you want to sell it for?"
"It's called thyme, and it sells for 5 taels of silver per catty."
"Okay, send me a jar as soon as the first batch of Erguotou comes out. You also need to expand the workshop as soon as possible. No one can make thyme without Erguotou. The original wine will be handed over to the new winery for production, and even some
The same process is also handed over to the new winery, and the core craftsmanship is just grasped."
"It's the county magistrate. I'll go back and take care of it now."
"When we go back, take Su'e and Cheng Yuan back, let them see their mothers and have a meal before letting them come back."
Lao Liangtou quickly took his son to thank Zhang Zongxian. Zhang Zongxian still wanted to write teaching materials, so he sent them back.
Two days later, Uncle Ding went to Zhang Zongxian and reported a situation. He said that shopkeeper Liu at the Dongcheng construction site, Director Goulian, used the name of the county government to make villagers from several villages serve as labor servants to work for him in vain.
Zhang Zongxian immediately became furious after hearing this. I wonder if people can be made to work as slaves for free? Haha, you are teaching me how to do things! You must have called me a porcelain hammer in private!
Immediately lead this group of government officials to Dongcheng.
When we arrived at the Dongcheng construction site, we saw that a lot of garbage had been cleared away, but the stench was still lingering. The construction site was full of people working, but one group was pulling the garbage there with big trucks, while the other group was carrying it with manpower.
The garbage was flowing out of the city, and there were still a few hooligans supervising the work, beating and scolding the people who were working at every turn.
Zhang Zongxian immediately asked Qi Dashui and the others to take down those ruffians. Then he asked everyone present to stop working.
Shopkeeper Liu was watching in the shade not far away. When he saw that the people had stopped working, he immediately ran over cursing him. He kept saying, "Why did you lazy guys stop? You can't finish your work in seven days and you're all taken to the Yamen to do some work."
"
"Who are you trying to beat, Shopkeeper Liu?"
At this time, shopkeeper Liu saw Zhang Zongxian standing on the construction site. He immediately apologized and saluted Zhang Zongxian. He said, "Your Majesty, I am trying to scare these unruly people. These unscrupulous people refused to work hard after being paid. I am...
Scare and scare them.”
"Really? How did I hear that you used the name of the Yamen to make them work for nothing?"
Shopkeeper Liu immediately knelt down and shouted, "The county magistrate is wronged! Which village chiefs found me and asked me to do this and take away more than half of the money. The villain was also forced!"
"It doesn't look like you were forced to do anything! You are a white person with no honors. You dare to use the name of the court to bully the people. Do you want to rebel?"
"How dare you, the villain of the county, to rebel? That is a serious crime against the nine tribes! The villain was bewitched by the chief there!"
"You'll know if you hit a few boards. Someone come and get them all for me, and a few more people will bring the li chiefs to the Yamen." Qi Dashui immediately accepted the order and left.
"Then Old Man Wang is here at the construction site?"
"The county magistrate, I'm here, I'm always looking here and there."
"You are not using the name of the imperial court to deceive people and work in vain, are you?"
"Where can the county magistrate do this? The only people who can come to work are people from their own villages. They take care of food and pay wages every day. The county magistrate can ask the people on this construction site."
"That's good. Now you can take the share from Shopkeeper Liu. If you don't belong to your village, you won't be paid. You also have to make up for the money you paid for the previous two days. As long as the acceptance is passed, Shopkeeper Liu's share will be paid."
That share will also be given to you.”
"Thank you, County Lord! Thank you, County Lord! I will definitely follow the County Lord's instructions."
Zhang Zongxian then asked the government officials to gather the people present. He told the people that if there were Ding servants in the future, he would ask the government officials to beat gongs and go to each village in advance to give lectures. He would also issue notices. If not, it would be false, no matter who oppressed you.
You can go to the county government to file a complaint. He will definitely uphold justice for the people. After saying this, all the people present knelt down and shouted "Master Qingtian".
Looking at these people kneeling on the ground wearing tattered clothes and sallow faces, he felt that he couldn't bear the words of Lord Qingtian. Has he not done enough?
Instead of helping the people kneeling on the ground, Zhang Zongxian turned around and ran back to the county government office.
When I returned to the county government office, I found the manager of the workshop and scolded him. I wanted to get rid of this manager, but it was a pity that there was no talent to replace this idiot. After all, the workshop was relatively technical.
After scolding for a while, I asked the manager of the workshop how he was doing with the county's water conservancy planning? Have you calculated how many miles of elevated water canals need to be built?
The boss of the workshop stood there for a long time without replying a word. Zhang Zongxian was so angry that he wanted to beat him. These bastards who live in a dead body have no truth at all.
Seeing that Zhang Zongxian was getting more and more angry, the director of the workshop boldly said, "The county magistrate knows that the county magistrate wants to do something practical for the people, but it is useless to build this canal. This one acre of land only produces about three hundred kilograms of grain a year."
, even if the field is irrigated with good quality water, it will only cost up to 400 kilograms of fertilizer and must be properly fertilized. But it costs no less than 1,000 taels of silver to build an elevated canal per mile.
It will be a big expense to maintain it every year in the future. There are 300,000 acres of land in the county. Except for the 100,000 acres near the river, which does not need to be repaired, the rest is in the same place. How many taels of silver will it cost to repair it?
Ah! Even if there is money, Qingjian County does not have that much manpower! County officials should think twice!"
After listening, Zhang Zongxian was silent. It is true that input and output are not directly proportional. To improve the output of Ming Dynasty agriculture, it is not enough to repair water conservancy. It is necessary to have improved seeds, high-yielding crops, and more importantly, chemical fertilizers. These short-term Zhang Zongxian
It can't be done at all. It can't be done
There will still be wars in Shaanxi, and the people who have no food to eat will still have to rebel when natural disasters occur. What should we do? Do we really need half of the people in this northern land to die? Zhang Zongxian seems to have seen that? Starving thousands of miles away, Yi Zixiang
Cruel images of food.
