Happy peasant girl

Chapter 379 Taking office in Bingzhou (2)
After walking out of the palace gate, Lu Zhiming brought Lin Qingxi back to his Zaifu mansion. Now that Mrs. Huai is pregnant, in order to take better care of her, Mrs. Huang and Huai Shaozhi took her to the current Huai government.

In the Zaifu Mansion, Lu Zhiming explained a lot to Lin Qingxi, mainly because of his experience as an official. After all, Lin Qingxi can farm, but she has never been an official.

At the same time, Lu Zhiming also told Lin Qingxi that there is a "confused county magistrate" named Leng Mingyang in Linguo County, Bingzhou Prefecture. He was once the youngest number one scholar in the history of Chu State. Linguo County is a Qipin county magistrate.

Regardless of his young, slovenly, and muddle-headed appearance, he is actually a master at solving cases, but his temper is a bit weird.If Lin Qingxi had him around to help him, it would be much easier to deal with Bingzhou affairs.

When Lin Qingxi was at Lu's house in the capital, Wei Ming also returned to the Wei Mansion with a face full of anger. Wei Zizhen already knew that Lin Qingxi was appointed as the first-rank female agricultural official of the dynasty, so it would not be so difficult to kill this woman now. easy.

"Zhen'er, you are not young anymore, the marriage can't be delayed any longer. Since King Wei has no intention of marrying you, and King Xuan asked the Queen and the Emperor for a marriage, you should marry King Xuan." After trying to figure out the meaning of the current emperor, I feel that the one who may ascend to the throne in the end is King Xuan, who is both civil and military, that is, the original second prince.

King Xuan Chu Lingxuan is the eldest son of the Queen, the former second prince of the Chu Kingdom. Although the Queen and the Queen Mother are rivals, the Queen Mother also likes King Xuan very much. In addition, Huai Shaozhi and Zhang Xian belonged to King Xuan. They are also on the side of King Xuan, so it is very likely that Lu Zhiming will choose to stand by King Xuan's side in the future.

After Concubine Xuan's death, Prince Xuan's main room was vacant all the time, and since Prince Xuan was Wei Zizhen who offered to marry him, he didn't dislike her staying in his boudoir all the time.

King Xuan's position as the main concubine is more likely to become the harem master of Chu in the future than Wei Wang's position as the main concubine, so for the glory of the Wei family, Wei Ming decided to marry Wei Zizhen to Xuan Wang.

"Father, my daughter won't marry! In this life, my daughter will only be Princess Wei!" If she were to marry someone else at this time, she couldn't, absolutely couldn't.

"You—that's all, you are the daughter Daddy loves the most, so you can do whatever you want!" Wei was obviously helpless.

However, when Wei Zizhen left in front of him, Wei Ming's eyes changed. Now it seems that this daughter's heart is still with Wei Wang. If Wei Wang and himself really become enemies in the future, this daughter is likely to help outsiders. Not his biological father.

Thinking of this, Wei Ming had a calculation in his heart, no matter what, Wei Zizhen must not be allowed to marry Chu Xuan, she is his daughter, so she should obey him, she should marry whoever he asks her to marry!
A few days later, the news that the peasant girl was named a first-rank female official spread all over the north and south of Chu State with the heavy snowfall.

Before Lin Qingxi came back with the imperial decree, Lin Renyi gathered the clan elders to discuss, if the rumors were true, then the ancestral hall must be opened and this important event will be recorded on the genealogy.

The old Lin's family also heard the news. They didn't know when Lin Qingxi came to Beijing, but in a blink of an eye she actually met the emperor, and was made a female official unprecedentedly. Big blue smoke.

Chu Huai granted Linqingxi permission to go to Bingzhou to inspect and take office after the Chinese New Year, so after returning to Linjia Village, Linqingxi was making preparations to go to Bingzhou.

"Girl, take me with you. After all, I know some farming knowledge, so I can help you a little bit!" Lin Qingxi was considering who to take to the post, and Mu Jin and the others were all vying to go.

"Girl, you should take me with you. I can help you when it comes to auditing the accounts!" Jasmine strongly recommended herself.

"Of course I will follow. If anyone dares to hurt the master, I will poison him to death!" Lan Luo said contentiously.

"Stop arguing, this time to Bingzhou Mansion, none of you can follow, all of you stay in the rice fields and villas for me, protect this place for me, so that I don't have to worry about the future." Everyone in Linqingxi She didn't plan to bring more people here to protect her family.

"girl!"

"Owner!"

"There's nothing to discuss, you all stay here for me, anyone who doesn't obey my order can leave now!" Lin Qingxi said, looking at them with a cold face.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" Lin Qingxi seldom got angry with them, but once she got cold-faced, they would be very scared.

On the fifth day after the new year, Lin Qingxi took up her post. She temporarily handed over the affairs of Lishui Bay to Xin Moyang to help manage, and let Han Xiao and Xin Moyang discuss the matter of Anxin's clothing spinning.

Both Ye and Mu were worried about Lin Qingxi, thinking that it was unheard of for a girl to enter the officialdom, she must have encountered more difficulties than others, and the imperial decree must not be violated, they only told Lin Qingxi to Pay attention to your body and don't worry about things at home.

Originally, an official should have a guard of honor to follow her when she takes office, but Lin Qingxi secretly requested from Chu Huai through Lu Zhiming that she only needs to take office alone with the official silver and sword. As for the people she needs around her, she can find them herself. There is no need for the emperor to send her.

When Linqingxi left Beijing, Lu Zhiming told her that the emperor had allowed her to act cheaply, and that she would not only help the local people solve their food and clothing problems, but also provide relief to the victims and find out the officials who were greedy for food from the Mexican state treasury.

There were originally 30 people in Bingzhou, of which 10,000+ lived in the largest capital of Bingzhou. The recorded fertile land in Bingzhou was 50 mu, and there were countless unowned wastelands.

However, since the three-year drought, the population of Bingzhou Prefecture has dropped sharply in the past ten years. Now there are less than 15 people in the entire Bingzhou Prefecture. In [-], grain had to be transferred from the national treasury to Bingzhou.

Chu Huai's first task for Linqingxi is to let her provide enough food and clothing for the people of Bingzhou within one year, stop asking the state treasury for food, and have to hand over 500 million catties of grain to the state treasury. Successfully killed her nine clans.

This is simply an impossible task, not to mention that most of the land in Bingzhou is plain, which is only suitable for growing wheat. Will not be willing to follow her ideas to farm.

When Lin Qingxi heard Lu Zhiming relay Chu Huai's words, she had only one thought, killing Chu Huai was much easier than completing this task, but thinking that that person was always Chu Xuan's father, she could only fight with anger. Unwilling to return to Yunzhou.

She kept Jasmine and Hibiscus in Lishui Bay, and she asked them to hurry up and help her grow some grain in Lishui Bay. If she really can't complete the task given by the emperor, she can pass the test with the grain she grew. They said that they wanted food, but they didn't say that they must produce food from Bingzhou.
