After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 350: The trap of the incorruptible person collapsed
At the college, students participating in the sweet potato promotion activities have already set off to the designated places.

Prior to this, the emperor had issued an edict to the governors of various states and counties, asking them to cooperate with the work of sweet potato promotion envoys.

After arriving, the students only need to produce official documents and verify their identity, and then they can cooperate with local officials to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

Lin Xi secretly sent someone to protect these students.

After all, they were all talents she selected from all over the country. She spent a lot of money and material resources to train them, so how could she allow them to burp midway?

But she didn't tell them about it.

Lest they commit suicide just because someone is protecting them.

In addition, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the sweet potato promotion activities, Lin Xi also asked Jade Bird Furong to publish an advertisement in Peizhou Daily.

An advertisement for buying sweet potatoes at a high price.

The prominent ad will remain in the newspaper until the end of the campaign.

Under the temptation of high-priced purchases, those farmers must be very willing to plant sweet potatoes.

Although Peizhou Daily is only published in Peizhou, its spread is not limited to Peizhou, but spreads almost throughout Dayong.

In the past few years, Lin Xi has spread express delivery points all over the country. Even remote mountain villages are aware of the existence of express delivery points.

It is said to be a express delivery point, but its business covers a wide range, similar to the supply and marketing cooperative in her previous life in the 80s.

You can buy and sell things, send and receive express delivery, send and receive letters, etc.

In the past two years, express delivery points have almost been losing money.

After all, the initial laying requires a lot of investment.

But this year, express delivery points have begun to make profits.

While making profits, they also continuously collect intelligence information from various places.

It can be said that there is no one in the world who is better informed than Lin Xi.

The person in charge of express delivery is He Wentian, the former deputy leader of the Qianhai Gang.

Lin Xi called someone over and asked him to deliver a batch of Peizhou Daily to each express delivery point.

In this way, the "sweet potato purchase advertisement" in Peizhou Daily can also spread to all parts of the country.

The message she wants to convey can also reach thousands of households.

This is the power of public opinion.

The reason why she is so eager to promote sweet potatoes is that there will be a large-scale drought next year.

She must ensure that people have enough food in their homes before that happens.

Otherwise, when the drought comes, we don’t know how many people will die and the economy will be severely hit.

But to be honest, the drought is not terrible. What is terrible is the plague that may follow.

The plague is easy to say, but the most terrifying thing is Wu Hongxue.

This man has been causing all kinds of man-made troubles, acting like a sociopath.

Although she successfully resolved each disaster, it was easy to destroy but difficult to protect. He always kept doing this. If he succeeded, the world might end.

It was something she never wanted to see.

She had been through the apocalypse, and was fed up with struggling to survive in a place like the apocalypse. Anyone who dared to destroy her peaceful life in this life would be her sworn enemy.

If it were anyone else, she would have killed him long ago, but Wu Hongxue couldn't be killed no matter how hard she killed him.

The reason why she agreed to let him take up a position in the academy was because she wanted to keep him under her nose and monitor him nearby.

Want to find his real weakness.

She doesn't believe that anyone in this world can really live forever.

Even the universe is heading towards annihilation, let alone a human being.

Sweet potato promotion activities are in full swing in various places, and the selection of 24 bachelors at the Literature Museum has also begun.

Lin Xi and several teachers from the college boarded the ship to the capital.

She had invited fifteen teachers back to the college before, but not all of them were proficient in literature and history.

There are only four people who are proficient in literature and history.

Including Lin Xi himself, Lin Wushang and Wu Hongxue, there are seven people in total.All seven people are on the recommendation list of the new right minister Lin Jian.

Of course, Lin Xi was recommended as Xiling's vest.

After arriving in the capital, the group stayed at Ziyuan.

——One of Lin Xi’s properties in Beijing.

Lin Jian quickly received the news and sent someone to send a banquet invitation to Ziyuan.

He plans to host a banquet for the 24 people recommended by him in two days so that they can get to know each other before officially participating in the selection process.

After all, they were all recommended by him, and they were considered a team. It was not good to still act like strangers.

Two days later, Ji Heng, who was ostensibly leading the team, took a group of people to the Changguo Duke's Mansion to attend a banquet.

The housekeeper led the group to Chunhui Hall, where the guests were being held.

Halfway through, I met Lin Jian who came out to greet me.

He first looked at his grandson with a smile, and then saluted Ji Heng and others with clasped fists.

"The presence of these gentlemen will really make the house shine. Please come in quickly."

His attitude was full of humility and respect, without any hint of arrogance as a prime minister.

Arriving at Chunhui Hall, Lin Jian said to more than a dozen people in the hall: "Let me introduce to you, this is -"

A voice came in and interrupted Lin Jian's words: "Master Prime Minister, these are not the other people you recommended, are they? This is the selection of the Literature Museum, how can there be women and children sneaking in? Isn't this child's play for you? !”

Lin Xi looked around and saw that the speaker was in his 50s, wearing a patched official uniform, with an upright, honest and frugal look on his face.

His eyes were full of contempt for Lin Xi and the other women.

This person's information immediately appeared in Lin Xi's mind.

Zhang Mao, a concubine from the Zhang family, a seventh-rank family, was the eleventh in his family. He was the magistrate of Songshan County, Songzhou at that time.

It is said that he loved the people like his son, was upright and honest, and would not change his official uniform when it was torn. Instead, he would ask his wife to mend it for him and continue to wear it.

After serving as an official for five years, he was still impoverished, with not even a single valuable thing at home.

However, "incorruptible and honest" is just his personal image.

In order to become famous, ancient people were even better at creating characters than modern people.

And the poor character who loves the people like his own son is a powerful tool to gain reputation in the officialdom.

Lin Xi was too lazy to talk to such a person and said to Qin Feng: "Tear off his robe."

Without saying a word, Qin Feng stepped forward and took off Zhang Mao's robe.

Zhang Mao was filled with embarrassment and anger, his face turned red, "You! How can this be unreasonable! It is simply an insult to politeness!"

"Master Prime Minister, this woman is so arrogant and rude! How can she take off Master Zhang's robe in public?"

"It is really a shame for us to sit at the same table with this woman. Prime Minister, please take your leave."

"I thought I could have a nice chat with you all today, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by this rude woman. I'll take my leave."

For a time, several people in the hall said goodbye.

And these people are usually close to Zhang Mao.

They thought Lin Jian would come in a hurry to persuade them to stay, but until they all walked out of the door, they didn't hear Lin Jian's voice urging them to stay behind.

Embarrassed now.

Are they going or not?

At this time, Cui Min laughed out loud, "It is said that Mr. Zhang is an honest official. His official robes are torn and mended. He has been sewing and mending them for several years. Unexpectedly, under the worn-out official robes, he is actually wearing an inch of brocade." Golden fragrant cloud gauze."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Mao.

"It is indeed Xiangyunsha!"

"Master Zhang, aren't you an honest official? How can you afford to wear this gold-rich fragrant cloud gauze?"

"A piece of Xiangyun gauze costs at least several hundred taels of silver. Mr. Zhang is really 'incorruptible'."

Overnight, Zhang Mao's reputation as a clean person collapsed.
