Chapter 114 Tang Yanshu
Qi Xingyun and the others ignored Old Lady Yang's thoughts and continued to arrange their work.
"Hurry up and arrange the sweet potato harvest. Then we have corn to harvest. The next step is to prepare to plant the second crop. The time for harvesting sweet potatoes and preparing the land is very tight. If there are not enough people, transfer them in from outside." Qi Xingyun instructed Zheng Huaming.
"Also, we need to make arrangements for the warehouse in advance. If necessary, we can invite a few experienced people from Qingshan Village to help look after the warehouse."
Then he said to Xiaocao'er and the others, "Don't worry, Xiaocao'er. Brother Xingyun will ask someone to keep an eye on the land. If there is a suitable one, we will notify you. As for not having enough money, don't worry. Your brother Huaming has money. When the time comes, ask him to give you the dividends from the Jixiang Restaurant in advance. You can buy a farm like this one."
"Thank you, Brother Xingyun." Xiao Cao'er quickly kissed Qi Xingyun on the face to express her gratitude.
The next day, the newly appointed Magistrate of Tang County came to visit Mr. Zheng.
Because the invitation was delivered in advance, Mr. Zheng, Qi Xingyun and others were all at home.
After all, they were all acquaintances. When they were in Kyoto, their families kept in touch with each other. There was no reason for them to be separated here, so Qi Xingyun and Zheng Huaming waited for him here and arranged the sweet potato matter.
When the servant led Tang Yanshu in, Zheng Huaming saw that he was dressed in a white robe, a perfect gentleman, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Tang Yanshu, you are a county magistrate, you should have the dignity and authority of a county magistrate. Look at you, you don't have the authority of a county magistrate at all. Without some dignity, how can you convince the people?"
"As an official, I obey people according to reason, not by using my authority. And is there any place for me to show my authority here?" Tang Yanshu answered as he walked in.
He walked up to Mr. Zheng, bowed and said, "Hello, sir. Hello, sir."
Mr. Zheng: "Good, good, good, you look in good spirits. Have you handed over all the affairs in the county government?"
"Yes, everything has been handed over. Lord Cui is anxious to return home to take up his new post. All matters have been prepared in advance, so the handover is easy." Tang Yanshu replied.
Zheng Huaming said disdainfully: "He has been promoted, so he must be anxious to take up the post. If he is transferred to another place, will he be in such a hurry to leave?"
Qi Xingyun: "It's better for him to leave earlier, so as not to delay our work."
Tang Yanshu: "What did he do to you? Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of him?"
Zheng Huaming: "No, no, no, we didn't take it away. It was just his good luck. It has nothing to do with us."
Qi Xingyun also agreed and said, "Yes, he is lucky. In fact, it doesn't matter if he is here or not. It's just not so convenient."
County Magistrate Cui was born in a poor family, and his behavior was average in all aspects, mainly because he did not have much money to use for connections. In his six years in Pingjiang County, he had no major achievements, nor did he make any major mistakes. No one in the upper echelons had connections, so the people above him overlooked him.
This time the new grain variety is to be promoted. Qi Xingyun doesn't want the powerful families to divide up all the grain before the common people even start planting, so he asked Tang Yanshu, a descendant of a noble family, to come.
Because County Magistrate Cui was unable to suppress those powerful families, and Qi Xingyun was not in a position to interfere in government affairs.
It just so happened that Tang Yanshu applied for a transfer, so County Magistrate Cui was lucky.
"What big thing are you going to do? Let me tell you, although I am only the county magistrate of Pingjiang County, you cannot interfere in local government affairs and you cannot let others catch you." Tang Yanshu said seriously.
Zheng Huaming: "Who said we want to interfere in government affairs? We want to give you achievements."
Tang Yanshu looked at Zheng Huaming with an expression of disbelief, "I am even more worried when you say that. From childhood to adulthood, every time you do something bad, it's always like this."
Zheng Huaming...
"How could I do anything bad? My grandfather is here, how could I do anything bad?" Zheng Huaming raised his hand and turned Tang Yanshu's disgusting face to the other side. In short, just don't look at me.
Tang Yanshu, Zheng Huaming and Qi Xingyun are good friends and also famous noblemen in Kyoto.
Don't be fooled by Tang Yanshu's appearance of a handsome young man. That's only in front of outsiders. In front of Qi Xingyun and Zheng Huaming, a few words would make them look like idiots, mainly because of Zheng Huaming's criticism.
Mr. Zheng was already used to their way of getting along, and with Qi Xingyun around, he was not afraid that they would go astray. However, if Qi Xingyun had not been calm and timely in controlling the direction of the topic, the two of them would have gone astray to the Atlantic Ocean in a minute, just like Yang Dashan's family.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Look, isn't Qi Xingyun here to control the direction of the topic?
The two people who were arguing with each other immediately quieted down.
"Is there really something important?" Tang Yanshu asked.
"Do you think that so many of us are waiting here today just to deceive you? Do you think we are so idle? We have a lot of things to do," Zheng Huaming said proudly.
"Uncle Quan, you don't think he is the kind of person who can remember what he hears. Please prepare a set of writing materials for him so that he won't bother me again later. I don't have time to deal with him." Zheng Huaming said to Uncle Quan again.
"Yes, young master." Uncle Quan smiled and went to prepare.
Next, Zheng Huaming told Tang Yanshu about the sweet potatoes and corn.
Tang Yanshu was overwhelmed by this great news and was completely dumbfounded.
Today I finally understand what it means to sit at home and achieve great political achievements.
This feels so fucking good. So fucking good. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Zheng Huaming couldn't bear it any longer, so he kicked him and said, "Can you do it? Can you complete it? Tell me, if you can't, we can make other arrangements."
Tang Yanshu, who was kicked off the stool, stopped smiling immediately, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
