Chapter 75

"I still need 100 taels, can't I save it?" The middle-aged man asked hesitantly.

The clerk glanced at him, and said with an unhappy expression: "No, the 100 taels are just deposits, you can withdraw them at any time, the bank is run by His Highness, are you still afraid that His Highness will be greedy for your little money?"

The middle-aged man thinks about it too. With his worth, His Highness will definitely not look down on him.

"Sir, what conditions do you need to develop a mountain forest?"

Then another strong man in a leather coat asked.

The document continued to explain patiently: "It is enough to have a cottage household registration. You can freely develop around the cottage where the household registration is located. After development, you can plant fruit trees, herbs and other crops, and you can also breed livestock and poultry. It cannot be abandoned within three years, otherwise the county government has the right to Take it back and distribute it to other mountain people."

"The specific requirements have been distributed to each cottage by the county government. You can go back and ask your village owner, and finally let the village owner distribute it to you to avoid unnecessary disputes."

The strong man's eyes were shining, and he was obviously already tempted, "Sir, if the villain wants to raise goats, can you?"

"Of course." The official replied immediately: "Goats are livestock, and they can be subsidized by the county government. You can go back and ask your village owners for details."

Afterwards, the onlookers asked various questions one by one, and the young literati carefully explained them to them.

And behind the onlookers, a man in a blue gown watched this scene thoughtfully.

This man is Liang Songnian.

Since he came to Shanhai County, he has been staying at home until after the Chinese New Year, when he occasionally goes out for a walk.

"Father, these policies seem to be good." Liang Mocheng said softly.

Liang Mocheng is 22 years old this year. He is a Juren in Kyoto for 36 years. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child.

Liang Songnian nodded slightly.

Although he does not go out, it does not mean that he does not understand the current situation in Shanhai County.

After all, he has been in Shanhai County for more than a month, and many things have spread to his ears.

"Manchu civil and military all underestimated the fifth prince, hey~"

He let out a long sigh.

Before coming to Shanhai County, everyone was talking about how poor Shanhai County was, but after coming to Shanhai County, he found that Shanhai County was not as poor as he imagined, and was even richer than many counties in the Dali Dynasty.

He also knew that this was Zheng Ming's credit, but it was because he knew that he was shocked.

After all, Zheng Ming came to Shanhai County for just over half a year.

It was beyond his imagination to have made such a big change in a county in half a year.

He asked himself, what if he could do it?

the answer is negative.

He can't.

"Father, you should go to see the prince." Liang Mocheng persuaded in a low voice.

In fact, since Shanhai County, he persuaded Liang Songnian to try his best to make peace with Zheng Ming.

It's just that Liang Songnian was upset.

The two consecutive penalties made him a little decadent.

Thinking that he has been an official for more than 20 years and is loyal to His Majesty and the court, but in the end he ended up like this. It would be strange if he had no resentment.

"I'm afraid this county prince won't want to see me." Liang Songnian shook his head slightly.

He regrets it a little now, knowing that he might as well come to Shanhai County quickly and be a county magistrate obediently.

Although the county magistrate is small, it can also let him show his ambitions, serve as an official and benefit one, and it is not in vain for him to rise and fall in the officialdom more than 20 years.

"As a father, as long as you bow your head, His Highness should not embarrass your father." Liang Mocheng said with his head bowed.

Liang Songnian glanced at him and said, "Who have you seen recently?"

He doesn't know his own son yet, so desperately wanting him to reconcile with the prince, there must be some small calculus behind it.

Liang Mocheng lowered his head and said, "I saw Lord Xin two days ago."

After coming to Shanhai County, although Liang Songnian seldom went out, he did not restrict his family from going out. Naturally, he would not stay at home obediently, so he went to the restaurant in the county to make friends and drink.

A few days ago, I happened to meet Xin Qiji. Seeing that he was communicating with many academy students in the restaurant, he was curious and gathered to watch for a while.

In just a short while, he was convinced by Xin Qiji's talent.

During the New Year's holiday, the county government also went on holiday. Xin Qiji had no relatives in Shanhai County, so he often went to restaurants to join in the fun.

Xin Qiji has no other hobbies. He has a bold personality and especially likes to deal with young students. In his spare time, he drinks small wine and writes poems together.

When the great god wrote a poem at random, many students exclaimed in amazement and regarded him as a god.

Although Liang Mocheng is a leader, in terms of poetry, he is no match for Xin Qiji.

At that time, he wanted to go up and have a good conversation with Xin Qiji, but because of his special status, he didn't come forward in the end, but just stood behind many students, watching Xin Qiji exhale with pride.

"Master Xin is a learned man," he said in a low voice.

Liang Songnian didn't speak, and left with his hands behind his back.

"Go back, prepare a small profit tomorrow, I will go to see His Royal Highness."

……

In the palace, Zheng Ming sat at the desk in the study and stretched.

Then he folded the paper on the table and handed it to Xiao Fuzi.

"Let Lu Wen send this to Mr. Gongshu."

Now Gong Shuqiu is the master of science and technology in his hands, and everything that involves manufacturing and machinery is presided over by Gong Shuqiu.

After seeing the domineering mechanism, Zheng Ming valued the loss of revenge even more.

Occasionally, some modern knowledge will be passed on to Gong Suqiu. Although it is only some superficial insights, it should be of some help to Gong Suqiu.

Xiao Fuzi took the paper, went to the side room next to him, and explained a few words to Lu Wen.

Lu Wen is Lu Shou's grandson. He was born this year, and now he is by Zheng Ming's side, doing some errands.

This kid doesn't have an elm head like Lu Cheng. On the contrary, he is very smart and can draw inferences from one fact with a little instruction.

At present, he has replaced Song Baobao as Zheng Ming's most proud student.

In the study, just when Zheng Ming closed his eyes and rested, a guard gently walked into the study.

"His Royal Highness, Liang Songnian asks to see you."

Zheng Ming opened his eyes and smiled.

"The old man can't take it anymore. Please come in."

He didn't forget Liang Songnian, he just ignored him.

If Liang Songnian doesn't come, he will keep Liang Songnian in Shanhai County and let him be a puppet magistrate.

Soon Liang Songnian came to the study room, and said with a calm expression, "I'll pay your respects to Your Highness."

Zheng Ming smiled and said: "Master Liang, please get up, hey! I have been busy recently, and I really neglected Master Liang, please forgive me."

"Xiaguan dare not, Xiaguan should have come to see His Highness earlier, but Xiaguan has been unwell recently, please forgive me," Liang Songnian said.

Zheng Ming glanced at him in surprise.

"Xiao Fuzi, serve Master Liang some tea."

"Master Liang, please take a seat."

The two sat down on the heated kang next to them, and after a while, Xiao Fuzi came in with tea.

Taking a sip of his tea, Zheng Ming glanced at Liang Songnian.

The face is square, with its own majesty, neither humble nor arrogant, not the weak spirit of a scholar, but a bit of the perseverance of a warrior.

But that's right, how could the dignified minister of rituals be a weak scholar.

 Thanks to Wu Cheng, Gan Liliang, Law of Wasteland, Please Call My Soul Dan, Yi Center, Sauelsuesor, Compassionate, W, A Bai and other book friends for their rewards.
