Zhang Jingyi was actually not in a hurry to decide on his tenth rank official position immediately.

He needs to examine it.

On the one hand, it is to grasp the situation of civil servants and military officials. On the other hand, eating radishes for donkeys is different from hanging a radish in front of them.

Taking advantage of this matter, we will first mobilize people's enthusiasm to the peak, and the leaders of all streets and alleys will show their skills. When customizing work goals in the future, we can customize them with current standards.

As the county magistrate, Lu Xiangsheng is the current real power figure in Xinxian County.

Two Jinyiwei General Banners, one Deng Jian and the other Wang Cheng, both of them were given a patrol position. Deng Jian was the inspector of Tianqiao District, and Wang Cheng was the inspector of Qingpingfang.

In this way, it is equivalent to two teams and one team. The advantage is that the Jinyiwei can be responsible for the public security work of the inspection at any time and investigate the situation in the workshop at any time.

At this moment, after countless food was delivered in Changping, Zhang Tianlun was stunned.

He feels that he is a ox.

Worry.

After so much grain was in his family, he had to build a barn. This was his own grain. The barn must be built firmly, and it must be kept dry, ventilated, and prevented from fire. He was almost worried and simply stopped doing the work of the deputy thousand-household households.

Just a fuck, if there is a problem with the food, you will spend all your life and your life, and the Zhang family will be finished.

Fortunately, Liu Wen, a Qianhu, did not interfere with him, and even looked sympathetic to him. Before leaving, patted his chest and hoarded the grain well, so he also worked for the country and worked hard.

Zhang Tianlun is really doing his best. At least after he came to this large area of ​​Zhang's land, he never closed his eyes at all. He couldn't sleep and dared not sleep.

I always get up in the middle of the night, and I have to go and see the built warehouses, for fear of any problems with the grain piled up in it.

During the day, he had to urge the craftsmen to build a new barn. In addition, he did not dare to trust others easily to choose the site of the new barn, so he could only go and check in person.

First of all, the terrain should be high and not flooded, but not too high. If you go up the mountain and the mountain road is rugged, transportation will be inconvenient.

It is best to have rivers nearby, which can be passed by the saiwan boats. With the help of transportation and water conservancy, the cost can be greatly reduced when transporting grain in and out in the future.

But it cannot be too close to the river, otherwise it will be prone to moisture.

In just over a month, Zhang Tianlun seemed to be ten years older.

Not only that, there were also a group of strange people here, chattering like old hens.

In fact, these are all from Changle, Fujian, led by a man surnamed Chen. When they arrived at the land, they started to plead and then started to farm.

These are all people invited by his son. I heard that they were going to grow any potatoes.

I finally had land at home, but I bought grain but didn’t grow grain, but I went to grow some potatoes. Is this...is it...right?

Fortunately, Chen Jinglun, a young man named Chen, looked like a down-to-earth person. This time he brought his own tribe members to him, and more than 90 people. They built a wooden building themselves and took care of the crops they planted every day.

When it rained heavily, they were even more anxious than Zhang Tianlun, and they almost stayed up all night. In the middle of the night, they carried a hoe to dig a ditches in the rainstorm to drain water.

A member of the Chen family didn't pay attention to it, something happened in the dark and broke his bones.

Suddenly, with a companion here, Zhang Tianlun became familiar with him from the beginning.

Chen Jinglun is a scholar with the fame of scholars, but now he comes to cultivate the land. This is what Zhang Tianlun admires.

Zhang Tianlun asked Chen Jinglun why he was willing to come here.

Chen Jinglun was silent for a long time before he said, "This is the long-cherished wish of my father. My father cultivated this sweet potato for half his life, and only hoped to promote it. Unfortunately... he died and did not see it. I am his son. Although he is studying for a career, I thought of my father's will, so I had already made a great wish to cultivate the seedlings from generation to generation. As long as the Chen family still has a breath and a descendant, the sweet potato will be planted until it is carried forward."

As he said that, Chen Jinglun sighed: "Zhang Baihu is the great benefactor of our Chen family. If he hadn't tried to provide convenience for us to plant here, I'm afraid that the sweet potato would be buried forever and the opportunity should not be missed. Since Zhang Baihu is such a great kindness, then the students should have worked hard. If they fail, they will be successful!"

This is a good son.

Zhang Tianlun also sighed, so he sometimes came here to help take care of the seedlings they planted.

Until after the heavy rain, countless carriages and horses came, Zhang Tianlun felt like he was going crazy.

I have heard that the food prices have plummeted, but I still bought them!

I learned again that all the grain was on credit, and the grain was transported, and the weight was weighed. Then I calculated the price and went directly to the capital to find Zhang Jingyi. Zhang Jingyi wrote the IOU directly...

And this pile of grain is like a mountain of grain...it seems to be endless. Almost every day, grain merchants of all kinds transport hundreds of trucks.

The speed of transporting grain has greatly exceeded the speed of new barn construction.

At this time, Zhang Tianlun no longer cared about Chen Jinglun. He felt crazy. There was so much grain piled up here and the weather was getting sunny. He could be temporarily placed in the gravel drying yard. But if the new barn was not built, he would really have to be prepared to hang himself.

Zhang Jingyi was very satisfied with the progress of her father's work.

The barn was built very quickly and the quality was very good. What does this mean? It means that the brothers who fought the tiger and father and son were in battle!

If you ask someone else to do it, it is not your own food anyway, so people don’t care so much.

So he was so excited that he wanted to commemorate a poem, but found that his belly was empty, so he couldn't help but sigh, blaming him for the few poems he copied in his previous life, if not...

However, when I think of my father, my only thought was probably Zhu Ziqing's back. Zhang Jing thought hard for a long time and only thought of the paragraph in that back: I'll buy a few oranges. You'll be here, don't walk around.

Nearly a month has passed like this, the summer is hot and the heat is hard to bear.

A letter was sent to Li Qiyuan, the Minister of Revenue. After several days of court, Li Qiyuan was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Wanli. After that, he was promoted all the way and his career was quite smooth.

But he is old and has not been in good health recently. Therefore, Emperor Aoki gave him some advice and he did not have to be on duty early in the morning, but he could be a little later.

He used refreshments as usual and then looked down at the letter.

After reading the letter, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was sent by a grain merchant who had a lot of connection with the Li family. The news was about all the stored grains sold out. I received 32,000 taels of silver. Of course... I just owed credit.

The 32,000 taels are nearly 50,000 shi of grain. After all, the price of grain purchased by the other party is very low.

But for Li Qiyuan, it is better to put the bag in order to save money than to throw it all into his hands!

At this time, his mood was much more relaxed. When he was old, he always had to seek some blessings for his children and grandchildren. Although he had lost a lot, he would get real money next year. Then... he would find a way to go back to his hometown to buy some land.

"Master, the car and sedan are ready. Your Majesty invites the master to enter the palace to discuss matters."

"I understand." Li Qiyuan nodded, as if nothing had happened.

Nowadays, all officials in the court have abandoned merchants on the surface, but in fact... almost all relatives or slaves at home are doing business outside, and the business is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Qiyuan was very disgusted with the business of others. Even if he had any letters with grain merchants, he would never disclose them easily.

He got into the sedan chair, and the sedan chair went all the way to Xiyuan.

After that, he walked to Qinzheng Hall, and many people had been waiting for a long time.

Li Qiyuan was the Minister of Revenue and the Prophet of Chun Nuan Duck. He knew in his heart that after Sun Chengzong entered the cabinet, subtle changes began to occur in the court. However, there were different speculations about Sun Chengzong entering the cabinet.

Of course, there is another saying, that is, Your Majesty plans to use Sun Chengzong to go out to Liaodong in the future and let him enter the cabinet first, so that this imperial savant will establish more prestige, and in the future, he will supervise Liaodong in the name of the cabinet minister and the Minister of War.

At that time, who else dares to disobey the civil and military officials in Liaodong?

Li Qiyuan didn't care about this matter. If Sun Chengzong's future was not the chief minister of the cabinet, then it would be obvious that the court would not have had too much turmoil.

He had been observing Huang Liji's reaction. Seeing that Huang Liji was quite friendly to Sun Chengzong, he secretly speculated that the previous rumors might be true. Sun Chengzong intended to be in Liaodong, not in the prime minister.

When he saw Li Qiyuan coming in, Emperor Tianqi said gently: "Li Qing is late, come, give Li Qing a seat."

Li Qiyuan is busy thanking him.

"What we want to discuss today is the Liaodong matter..." Huang Liji made an opening remark.

…………

Ministry of Revenue...

At this time, a quick message was sent to the Ministry of Revenue Department.

The man who was quick to report fell off his horse, looked tired, and was already out of breath: "Guanzhong urgent delivery, Guanzhong urgent delivery..."

As soon as this statement was made, the servants from the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to neglect them, so they quickly took the rush and hurried into the ministry.

Because the Minister of Revenue was not here, Zhang Ling, the Minister of Revenue, naturally performed his duties.

He immediately opened the fire lacquer from Guanzhong, looked down, and then... Zhang Ling took a few steps back, and was stunned.

The officials next to him hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, what happened..."

Zhang Ling's face turned ashen, then he slowly raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Guanzhong... Guanzhong... Guanzhong has a severe drought... Guanzhong has a severe drought!"

For a moment, the Ministry of Revenue was in chaos.

This is definitely a horrible news.

Guanzhong is one of the most important grain-producing areas in the north. Once a severe drought is severe, it may lead to no harvest of particles and no water, and food cannot survive.

And... Judging from this report, this severe drought may not have affected several counties, but the entire Guanzhong...

So much so that Zhang Ling, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, felt dizzy.

His shouting has attracted all officials from the Ministry of Revenue to come out of the public housing. Someone couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhang, why did there be no news before? Why did he suddenly report the drought?"

They looked at Zhang Ling in a hurry, but Zhang Ling was bloodless.
