Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Seeing that the leaders in the crowd became more and more noisy and fierce, the chief secretary Pei Gou could hardly hold back, and Gu Yunji couldn't stand watching from the sidelines anymore, so he clapped his hands to calm everyone down, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, listen to me first. Can you say it?"

Gu Yunji didn't wear an official uniform today. Although he had an extraordinary demeanor, he looked like a young man, even a little younger than Chen Peishi.Chen Zongmin was used to putting on airs of veteran status, so he immediately stomped his cane and said dissatisfiedly, "Which family are you from? It's your turn to interrupt here!"

Chen Peishi was so frightened that he could speak incoherently, he repeatedly waved his hands and said, "...No, no, no, no, fifth uncle, don't be so rude!"

Pei Gou was too tired to deal with the various problems of the district chiefs before, but he hadn't noticed that Gu Yunji was here, so he was surprised for a moment, and greeted him respectfully: "Pei Gou, the director of Yibin County, has seen the general judge. grown ups."

"Master Tongju?!" Chen Zongmin was startled, and his confident appearance shrank instantly, honestly shrinking into a quail.

These village chiefs are old, and at most they dare to take Qiao in front of the inexperienced head secretary Pei Gou, but they dare not presumptuously when Yue Zhuo, the county magistrate, is here, let alone the general judge of the Xuzhou government. That is a "big official" that they don't even have access to on a daily basis, how dare they make trouble in front of Gu Yunji.

For a moment, dozens of mayors all shut up, and the living room was completely silent.

Pei Gou was finally freed, heaved a sigh of relief silently, and quickly invited Gu Yunji to the first position, and gave him the control.

Gu Yunji was still standing, his eyes slowly swept across the people in the hall, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now, since you can't understand what Master Pei said, let me explain it, and please listen carefully, what's the matter?" Questions will be asked later, and I will answer them in a unified way."

With that said, Gu Yunji picked up a potato and showed it around in front of everyone: "This thing is called yam. It is a food crop native to America at the other end of the ocean. It is characterized by being cool, drought-tolerant, and adaptable. Especially the high yield. If you plant [-] catties of seeds, you can harvest about [-] to [-] catties of yams, which is five or six times more.”

"The existence of such crops can solve the food and clothing problems of the people to a large extent, and avoid starvation. This is why the government wants to vigorously promote the cultivation of it. It may be hard for everyone to believe that there is such a high yield, but This is the fact, it has been tested by us, and the yield of artichokes can indeed reach a thousand catties per mu."

Gu Yunji put down the yams and sat back on the chair: "The government spent a lot of money to transport them all the way from America, not to cause everyone to quarrel here. A considerable part of the yam seeds have already begun to germinate, and if they drag on, they will die." Corruption, time is running out.”

"Everyone shoulders the important task of promoting yams. We are going to distribute 150 catties of yams to everyone. If there is no accident, we will harvest about [-] catties in a few months. You need to distribute the [-] catties of the harvest to the villagers , as the second generation of seeds for the next round of planting, so that the yams can be quickly expanded to the entire Syrian prefecture from point to surface."

Gu Yunji considered that these elders might not be able to understand the official language due to their age, so he asked Chen Peishi to repeat it in the local dialect, and at the end he added: "What is a yam, and I have already explained the next task for you all. It's over, as for the specific planting method, there will be officials who will explain in detail later, and if you have any questions, you can come to the county government office to ask at any time."

"Okay, I've finished what I want to say, if you have any questions, you can ask them now."

As soon as Gu Yunji finished speaking, someone said impatiently: "Not to mention whether the yield per mu is true or not, according to your intention, after we have worked so hard to grow the yams, we have to distribute them to others. ? Why? Since ancient times, there is no reason to hand over one's own food to others!"

These words just hit everyone's heart, and they all echoed:
"Yes, yes, why should we give the food we have worked so hard to grow to others?"

"It's a rare slack season. People either go to the wharf to do odd jobs to earn money, or just sleep at home, but we still have to work hard to grow yams. Let's just plant them. The things that grow , but also to others, what is the reason for this?!"

Someone blushed and said emotionally: "My father used to be the head of the village. After he died the year before last, he had to let me take over. I didn't want to be the head! Since I became the head of the village, I haven't reaped the benefits. There are many things. Every day, the parents and the west make short comments, but they have to collect taxes, and they are too busy to touch the ground."

"What kind of rare yams have been produced now, let me grow them myself, and then distribute what I grow to others, why?!"

"Because you are the head of the village, this is your responsibility and obligation!" Gu Yunji's face became more and more serious, he slammed the table and shook the person who spoke.

Gu Yunji looked around at the crowd with cold eyes, and a faint coercion came out: "Although the chief is not an official of the court, he has made a register and recorded it in the book, and is in charge of the taxation and education of a village. He enjoys the power, so naturally he has to bear the corresponding responsibility. obligation."

"You don't have to cry poorly with this official here. First of all, the government doesn't let you do things for nothing. Lumi is provided every year. Don't talk about how righteous and selfless you are. Secondly, you collect taxes and other daily Don’t you know how many small actions you have made in official duties?”

Gu Yunji's voice was cold: "Twenty percent of the imperial court's tax fell into your mouths, and it became thirty to forty percent. You collected a thousand catties of rice grain from the villagers, and only eight hundred catties were left when it was handed over to the government. Most of the common people Illiterate, you use your position to deceive your superiors and subordinates, and run rampant in the countryside, and everyone in the government office and county office knows it clearly!"

"Just because we don't tell you doesn't mean we don't know, and it doesn't mean we won't pursue the case. The government keeps accounts here! When will the government stop turning a blind eye and take you to the Yamen with an arrest warrant? Come on, it will be easy to dismiss him and go to jail at that time!"

In fact, Gu Yunji didn't know exactly what they did, but with a little bit of brainstorming, he could figure out that there were still various village tyrants and evil forces in the previous life, let alone the present age where the information is more blocked and the people's education level is lower.

Times are developing and society is progressing, but people's hearts have been the same since ancient times.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Yunji's words, all the village chiefs showed different degrees of guilt.A few people even turned pale and sweated profusely, making people wonder if he would faint in the next second.

Gu Yunji withdrew his gaze and sneered: "Don't forget, the government is not discussing with you today, but informing you! Whether you believe in the high yield of potatoes or not, whether you are willing to plant them or not, you have to go back and plant them. , and the second-generation seeds must be distributed to the villagers, so there can be no mistakes.”

"If anyone doesn't want to do it, it's fine, and you don't want to be the chief of the village!"

Complaints are nothing but complaints, but everyone knows how lucrative the position of the village chief is, and they are obedient for a while, and dare not refute a single word.
