Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 335

On the side, a group of gentry and villagers also breathed a sigh of relief.

Good things are hard to come by.

His Highness King Yan finally agreed to build a social school for them.

After they go back, they will be able to hold their heads up high in front of all the neighbors and clansmen, and they will be much more assertive in their speech.

As for exploiting and oppressing the neighbors?

It won't happen now, only evil gentry would do that!

In the future, the children in their family will all go to work as errands in Prince Yan's Mansion, serve as officials in Korea and Japan, and even go to trade with Prince Yan's Mansion caravan.

Only when the neighbors stay in groups and go out, can they not be bullied, can be safer, and can earn more money.

The general direction of sociology has been set.

The only thing left is for the various prefectures and counties, as well as the gentry and village elders, to organize their own groups, then select the location of the social studies and count the number.

In less than a month, the report was reported to Prince Yan's Mansion.

All the scribes in King Yan's Mansion are also very familiar with the situation in various prefectures and counties under the Beiping Mansion.

After the inspection was correct, money was allocated to start building social schools.

However, the transfer of money this time can only transfer precious notes.

Because, all the courtiers in the court, and Zhu Yuanzhang, because the people value money and despise banknotes, they often exchange envoys, especially the merchants and people in Zhejiang and Fujian, they can directly exchange 160 copper coins for Yiguanbao banknotes.

Let the prices of goods such as food and cloth start to rise a lot directly.

After talking about it for more than half a year, I finally thought of a way to ban copper coins!

It turns out that the imperial court minted banknotes and used both treasure banknotes and copper coins for the convenience of the people.However, the people are cunning and use the money at a loss, which makes the money method useless and cannot provide convenience to the people.

In this way, the use of copper coins is prohibited, and all copper coins of military, civilian and merchants must be handed over to the government. Anyone who dares to use them privately or bury or destroy them will be punished!
Once the edict banning copper coins was issued, it temporarily curbed the rapid depreciation of treasure banknotes.

……

As the weather began to get hotter, the city of Beiping gradually became like a steamer, so Guo An nestled at home and didn't want to go out for a step.

It's just that Guo An doesn't go out, but there are still people who will take the initiative to come to him.

On this day, Guo An was dozing off in the official room of the Chief History Department in Yanwang Palace, when a clerk came in.

"Guo Changshi, all the gentlemen and elders in Wanping County and Daxing County are asking to see you!"

"Find me?"

Guo An raised his head in a daze.

It's been a long time, and he hasn't had any contact with those gentry and elders in Wanping County and Daxing County!
"Exactly!"

The scribe said respectfully.

"So, then invite them all in and serve some iced tea."

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Soon, a group of gentry and village chiefs rushed into Guo An's public house.

Fortunately, as Guo An is a senior official, the public house where he lives is relatively large, which is enough to accommodate these people.

"The villain has seen Guo Changshi!"

"Meet Guo Changshi..."

Even though they had not seen each other for a long time, these gentry and village elders were still full of excitement and sincerity when they saw Guo An again.

And Guo An is also a person who is extremely easy to be infected, and he is also very enthusiastic.

After a salute, Guo An couldn't help asking.

"The weather is so hot, why do you all work so hard to come to the palace to find us?"

"Guo Changshi, villains and others are suffering!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi, the villain and the others are not convinced..."

Guo An's words instantly seemed to ignite an explosive furnace, and all the gentry and village elders immediately stared and cried.

"Guo Changshi, the people in our Wanping County are thousands of households more than those in Shunyi County, Miyun County, and Jizhou!"

"That's right, Guo Changshi, our Daxing County has thousands of households more than the population of those prefectures and counties. Why can they build a social school? There is still one social school for every fifty households, and our Daxing There are only five elementary schools in the county!"

"Guo Changshi, many children of ordinary people in Wanping County need to walk more than 20 miles every day to go to elementary school!"

"Guo Changshi, many people in Daxing County also need to walk thirty miles to go to school!"

"Guo Changshi, there are common people's children on the other side of the villain, and they have to walk fifty miles a day to go to school..."

"Guo Changshi..."

"Okay, okay!"

Guo An was dizzy and yelled to stop.

"Don't you just want to build some social schools for Yanwang Mansion, Wanping County and Daxing County?"

"Guo Changshi Mingjian, Wanping County and Daxing County need social studies even more!"

"Guo Changshi..."

"stop!"

Guo An yelled to stop again, and then hurriedly ordered to a scribe beside him.

"Go and invite Zhu Changshi!"

"Yes!"

The scribe ran out quickly.

After a while, Zhu Fu walked in slowly.

"The villain has seen Zhu Changshi!"

"I've met Zhu Changshi!"

"I have met all the squires and elders!"

After a very polite greeting, he slowly sat down.

However, this time the public room was much quieter.

The scribes on the side were shocked.

They could certainly see the difference, and the rumors were indeed true. The gentry and village elders in Wanping County and Daxing County were very close to Guo Changshi Guo An.

Guo An said: "Zhu Changshi, Wanping County and Daxing County have a large population, and there are many people and children who are willing to go to elementary school.

All the gentry and village elders also want to ask the Yan Palace to build some social schools for them in Wanping County and Daxing County. I wonder if Zhu Changshi thinks it is okay? "

"This..." Zhu Fu was startled and hesitated, "Guo Changshi, I don't know if you can ask His Highness for instructions on this matter?"

Before Guo An could speak, a voice came from outside the door.

"We certainly agree!"

"Your Highness?"

Guo An, Zhu Fu and others looked outside the door, their faces were startled, and they quickly got up to salute.

"See Your Highness!"

"I see His Highness Prince Yan!"

"Get up, everyone!"

Zhu Di was also much closer to the gentry village elders in Wanping County and Daxing County than those in other prefectures and counties in Beiping Prefecture.

After sitting down, Zhu Di said with a gentle face: "For the sake of social studies, you have come to our palace regardless of the scorching heat, and we agree."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

"Your Highness is merciful!"

A group of gentry, village elders and elders were overjoyed.

In fact, nowadays many gentry can completely fund the construction of social schools.

However, the master of sociology is hard to find!

With Zhu Di's consent, everything is fine.

And it just so happens that, for those masters of sociology, they are also the backup officials that Zhu Di needs.

A win-win situation for both parties.

It has been a long time since Zhu Di, Guo An, and the others talked with these gentry township elders in Wanping County and Daxing County.

Coincidentally, this time it was rare to gather such gentry and elders, and there was no major matter for them to deal with in the Yan Palace.

Therefore, Zhu Di and Guo An chatted with these gentry and villagers.

"Old Wang, this year, the common people in your village should all plant the good rice developed by our Yanwang Mansion Farm!"

Wang Shilai replied with a happy face: "Hahaha, don't worry Guo Changshi, there are more than 100 households in our village, and every mu of land is planted with good rice.

The stalks of these high-quality rice are thicker than those of previous rice. At first glance, they look like high-quality rice that can grow large ears of rice! "

Wang Shoushi, who was on the side, couldn't help but glared at Wang Shilai. Guo Changshi was obviously asking him, how could this shameless Wang Shilai be so treacherous, so he answered first.

However, Wang Shoushi is not someone who admits defeat easily.

"Guo Changshi, our peppers are growing well. Everyone has planted peppers, and each family has four acres.

This year, the common people in our village can make more money by relying on chili peppers again! "

"That's good!"

Guo An smiled very satisfied, and continued: "However, you must also be mentally prepared, chili is just a rare item, and it is not a long-term solution.

After this year, peppers will be planted throughout Daming, and profits will gradually decrease! "

One Li Chang stared straight at him, "Don't worry, Guo Changshi, the people in Daxing County, Wanping County, are all clear in their hearts. Pepper is our cash cow, and no one will dare to pass on the chili seeds!"

"Exactly, chili peppers are our lifeblood, and no one will pass the chili seeds out!"

A group of gentry and villagers said again.

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, unwilling to say more.

He got the chili seeds from others, how could he keep them?
Moreover, it is a miracle that so many people in Wanping County and Daxing County have been planting it for so many years.

"The weather has been hot this year, and there are some abnormalities. Everyone, please pay attention, and accumulate more food at home.

In the rice fields, water should also be timely! "

"Thank you Guo Changshi for your concern. In recent years, thanks to His Royal Highness King Yan, all the fields in our villages that are close to the river have attracted ditches, and I will go to water them on weekdays.

However, the water flow in the river this year is much less than in previous years! "

After saying this, all the village elders were grateful, but at the same time, their faces were filled with worry.

Ning Daguang tremblingly cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and Guo An: "His Royal Highness, Guo Changshi, the old man calculated that there hasn't been a drop of rain for a month.

If there is no more rain, there will be a severe drought! "

"Drought?"

As soon as these words came out, both Guo An and Zhu Di couldn't help being surprised.

As for the rest of the gentry and village elders, their expressions were even more miserable, and they also felt deeply helpless. They were all aware of this situation.

"Your Highness, Guo Changshi, in the past few decades, our Beiping Prefecture has been experiencing disasters. Floods, droughts, hailstorms, wind disasters, earthquakes, locust plagues, and plagues have made the people of our Beiping Prefecture miserable."

"Since His Highness and Guo Changshi came to Beiping, the disasters in our Beiping Mansion have been slightly less.

According to the time, our Beiping Prefecture should also be in disaster! "

"You old man, don't talk nonsense. His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi are the lucky stars of our Beiping Mansion. They have been doing well for so many years. Why is there a disaster this year?"

"Didn't there be a flood the year before last?"

"..."

All the gentry, village elders and elders couldn't help but fall silent.

Guo An smiled slightly and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, my Beiping Mansion's grain harvest has been abundant for three or four years, and the Beiping Mansion's grain is sufficient. Even if there is a severe drought, the people's lives will not be harmed.

As long as the people of our Beiping Mansion are still alive, there will be no fear of any disaster. "

"What Guo Qing said is absolutely true!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly, and said: "During his mother's severe drought, the people in our Beiping Mansion have food in their homes, so they are afraid of him.

Moreover, if all the ditches are built next to the fields, can all the rice be dried to death?
Maybe, after a few days, it will rain heavily! "

"What Your Highness said is absolutely true!"

"His Royal Highness's auspicious words..."

All the gentry and villagers cheered up again, but their eyes were still full of worry!
