The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 725 is a character
"I didn't expect the people of Fengqing Mansion to live such a hard life."

Zhu Pang couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion after hearing what Li Yong said about the life of the people in Fengqing Mansion.

"It's also an incompetent official. I stayed in Fengqing Mansion for six full years, but I couldn't lead the people there to live a good life."

Speaking of this, Li Yong is not without regret.

Regardless of whether it is for political achievements or for the people, if he can increase the production of cotton or discover some fresh crops to improve the lives of the people, he will not be considered a county magistrate for six years in vain.

"It's because of geography. How can you blame Mr. Li? I have heard that the farming households rely on God to reward them for their food. Mr. Li is a rare good official who can think about the people. .”

As long as Zhu Pang wants to compliment someone, he can flatter someone with a single mouthful.

Gu Chengyu thought about it, and if he wanted to improve his life in cotton, he had to spend time on planting, and the selection of seeds could not be ignored.There is also seed retention, which is also a technical job.

However, he can't tell Li Yong yet.He didn't know if Li Yong could trust him, and if he would go out and spread the word.

Li Yong's rank is low, if there is no one in court, even if he wants to take credit for him, it is impossible.

Don't say that Gu Chengyu is selfish, for fear that others will take credit for his work.

This is the norm in the officialdom. After all, promotion depends on one's own ability and the promotion of seniors.

Gu Chengyu has no such interest in letting others step on him to climb up.

"Young Master Zhu is absurd. I feel ashamed when I say this. I left Fengqing Mansion before I made any achievements."

Li Yong sighed helplessly when he mentioned this, although the Fengqing mansion had poor life and the yamen had no oil and water, it was still ruled by those people.

But if there is a way to make the people live a good life, then the political achievements are also proper.

Political achievements are easy and easy to say, but difficult to say.If he finds a way, he will naturally wait for promotion, but he can't help it!
He has self-knowledge, but he doesn't have that ability.

"Li Zhi County's departure from Fengqing Mansion was dispatched by the imperial court. How could Li Zhi County be able to resist?"

Gu Chengyu also interjected at this time, he could see that Li Zhixian was really worried about this.

However, it is not known whether the reason is that the people did not let the people live a good life, or they missed the opportunity to improve their political achievements.

"The lower officials are impatient, and can only hope that the imperial court will choose Xinzhi County, which has a gully in its chest, to save the common people from the fire and water."

Li Yong's meaning is obvious, he is incompetent and cannot occupy the latrine without shitting.

Gu Chengyu looked at Li Yong with some meaning in his eyes, such an excuse is too high-sounding, this is a character.

Zhu Pang has been exposed to it since he was a child, coupled with the careful teaching of his family, of course he can hear the meaning behind the words.

Unexpectedly, even a small county magistrate in Jingyuan Mansion could not be underestimated, and he was no worse than those high-ranking officials in the capital who were slippery in the officialdom.

Several people talked about the cotton thing again, then skipped the matter and chatted about homework.

"I don't know who is Zhu Gongzi's father?"

Just now Zhu Pang had already introduced himself, saying that he was Gu Chengyu's classmate who lived in the capital, and then he saluted Li Zhixian and exchanged a few greetings.

Li Yong knew at a glance that this was the manner of a master. Seeing that this move was made by a wealthy family, the elders in the family must have been officials, so they were full of confidence.

Thinking of this, he was rather curious about Gu Chengyu.This Mr. Gu is obviously a farmer's son, but why is there no difference in etiquette with this young man, even more natural and smooth.

Gu Chengyu's whole body is full of nobility, he doesn't look like a farmer at all, the nobility has been integrated into his bones, and he is a seamless one.

"My father is the left servant of the Ministry of War!"

Zhu Pang felt that there was nothing to hide. He had a prominent family background. For a person like Li Yong, even if he was white, he was not comparable to Li Yong.

Li Yong was taken aback, and then felt secretly happy.He had guessed that someone in Zhu Pang's family must be an official, but he didn't expect that Zhu Pang's background was not small.

That's the official position of the third rank!How can I make him not excited?
"So it's Mr. Zhu! What a disrespect! Disrespect!"

Although he has no one in the court, he still knows the situation in the court.

Dai Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of War, is old and will retire in a few years.Even if the emperor is reluctant, he has reached his age after all.

There are only two candidates to take over as Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhu Kui is one of them, and the other is the right servant of the Ministry of War.

But judging from past reputation and achievements, Zhu Kui is more likely to succeed.And more importantly, Zhu Kui's age is just right.

Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang have a good relationship, so Gu Chengyu has already joined Zhu's family?Li Yong tried his best to recall in his heart which prince the Zhu family was closer to.

If he chooses the right person, and he takes the opportunity to board this big ship and make a contribution from the dragon, wouldn't he be able to get a high official and a generous salary?

Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang didn't know that Li Yong had so many inner dramas, and at the moment Zhu Pang was actually so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.

His father is the left servant of the Ministry of War, and he is not an official of the imperial court, nor has he made any contribution to the imperial court, what a disrespectful bird?

The traces of flattery are too obvious, right?
Seeing Zhu Pang deflated, Gu Chengyu secretly smiled.Zhu Pang is good at speaking, even when he is at a loss for words.

"Lord Li, you are being polite!" Zhu Pangdui said to Li Zhixian with a smile on his face.

It's a pity that Li Yong really doesn't know the news of the capital, and it's even more impossible to know the movements of the Zhu Mansion.

When I was in Fengqing Mansion before, I couldn't get even a few words.

Li Yong sighed silently, this is the difficulty of having no one in court.Except for the names and taboos of some officials in the capital and their families, he knew nothing about the others.

While dealing with the two teenagers in front of him, Li Yong planned to go back and discuss with his confidant first.

The three chatted quite happily, and after a while, Ming Mo came in and said that the dinner was ready.

"I also invite Mr. Li and Senior Brother Zhu to move to the side hall. I have already prepared a table of banquets."

After Li Yong ate his face flushed and left happily, Zhu Pang laughed.

Gu Chengyu poured Zhu Pang a cup of tea, "Why are you laughing so much?"

"This Li Zhixian is a wonderful person, with courage and ambition." Zhu Pang shook his head and said with a smile to Gu Chengyu.

"If you don't have the ability, you can't get out of the county magistrate of Fengqing Prefecture."

Gu Chengyu felt that this person did have some ability, but it was only a little bit.

Don't look at the difficult life of the people in Fengqing Mansion, but there are not many merchants and aristocratic families there.Because it is close to the border, it should not be difficult for those merchants who come and go to drive the economy of Fengqing Mansion.

It's a pity that the local separatist forces in Fengqing Mansion, can Li Yong suppress those local snakes?It is not easy to move smoothly.

In such a place, as long as money can be made, or if there are officials in the court who have some activities, who will go there?
