After seeing off Yu Huai, Dong Cheng, Guo Dake and others the next day, Li Hui went to the Yamen leisurely, and when he saw that nothing happened, he was ready to go home.

Before he could leave, Yi Cheng sent a document from the Ministry of Officials in the capital. It first affirmed the achievements of the northern state capital in the past year, and then supported the promotion of corn.

Because Zhou was there, he took care of the northern state capital in every detail, even giving the maximum amount of money for promotion.

This is undoubtedly a powerful reassurance for everyone in the government office.

After Shen Jue and Mou Haibin saw it, they both laughed happily. You must know that they have been in the north for so long, and this is the first time they have received a commendation document from the Ministry of Officials in the capital. It also clearly states how much money each person will be rewarded.

All people are treated equally, and each person is given ten taels, including the officials of each county.

This commendation is considered worthy. After all, there are so many public officials in the northern state capital, and this money is quite a lot. Moreover, ten taels of silver can do a lot of things in the north, but naturally it will be a little worse in the capital. It is probably not enough for a meal.

Li Hui called Zhang Dianli and handed him the silver notes he carried in the documents, asking him to cash them into cash as soon as possible and put them in everyone's hands.

"...Remember, you have to distribute it in person to ensure that everyone gets this imperial award."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will definitely do it." Zhang Dianli bowed his hands, took the banknote, and quickly left the government office.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone in the government office was extremely happy.

Who would be unhappy with an extra ten taels of silver for no reason? Since the change of governor, they have really gotten better and better. Not only has the reputation of the people improved, but the quality of life and government offices have also improved significantly.

On the third day after Yan Yixin returned home, they packed their things and prepared to set off.

The young couple brought Shunxi, Jiyuan and Bai Shao with them. Shunxi took care of everything on the road, Jiyuan was the servant, and Bai Shao was responsible for eating and taking care of Li Yue.

It can be seen that the newlywed daughter-in-law is living a good life, with charming eyebrows and rosy complexion. Her parents see it and are very happy.

Cheng Xue handed the prepared money and food to Li Yue, gave some instructions and stopped nagging.

Many arrangements have been made along the way, Yan Yixin is good at martial arts, and more importantly, the entire Liangyan area is clearing out banditry, so there is no need to worry about safety.

The captured bandits and robbers were all exiled to eight positions in Liangyan to build garrison defense lines without beating or scolding them.

No wages, working for nothing, just three meals a day and clothing and sleep. It is impossible to escape. There are defenders everywhere, and hunting dogs can be seen everywhere. If you dare to escape, you will be caught.

After sending Yan Yixin away, Li Hui started to get busy.

The first is to publicize chemical fertilizers. The gap between fertilized land and unfertilized land this year is very obvious.

There is basically no need to publicize this. All counties are waiting for the government to issue regulations and then comply with them.

Li Hui formulated a three-year plan based on his term of office.

In the first year, the yamen contributed 70%, and the common people contributed 30% to purchase it. Those who have no money can borrow money and pay back the money with the grain after it is grown.

In the second year, both parties can share half the money as a family, and they can also take credit first and then repay the money.

In the third year, the people will contribute 70% of the capital and the government will contribute 30%. Credit is not allowed and must be settled in the spring.

In the fourth year, which was also the last year of his term, everything returned to normal and the people were able to fully accept chemical fertilizers. Whether you want to stay on or be transferred, it depends on the arrangements above.

As for the promotion of corn, it was naturally decided to focus on the northern state capital. After all, it was their side that started it.

Just like spring plowing, the government uniformly distributes corn seeds and selects fertile land for planting together with chemical fertilizers. The fields selected for planting corn are exempted from field tax for the current year. During the autumn harvest, six hundred kilograms of high-quality corn must be handed over to the court for each acre of land, and the rest belongs to the owner of the field.

These families who grow corn are not allowed to eat the corn without permission or resell it at a high price before the corn is fully mature. Once discovered, they will be dealt with according to the "Law of Liangyan".

The purpose of promoting corn is to make corn a staple food for the common people. Therefore, in terms of setting the price, depending on the grade, dryness and wetness of the corn, it is set at four to six cents per catty.

The two decisions were distributed at the end of October, and counties began to publicize the news.

This spring started with "dividing fields to households". Although the process of farming was very rough and difficult, the results were good. You can grow your own land and eat your own food, and you can have enough food and clothing even after paying the tax. Everyone is looking forward to the future.

Now that the common people have heard the news, they are all gearing up and waiting for the next spring to start a big fight.

The first winter snow of the year came so early and so fiercely that the official road was closed for seven days, making it impossible for caravans outside to get through and caravans inside unable to get out.

Although the Street Department is trying its best to adjust, it still has little effect.

Not only that, houses in various counties also experienced heavy snowfall, and people were even injured in some places. For example, Port County.

Li Hui rushed over as soon as he got the news, and the county magistrate Fu Zhao was also in charge of the scene in Woluo Kuei Village.

The buildings here were originally from Beiqi. I planned to allocate funds and improve housing here next year when I had a little more money. Unexpectedly, God gave me eye drops this year.

Fu Zhao hurried over, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, saying:

"I've seen Mr. Li. It's really the dereliction of duty of this subordinate that caused such a situation in the place under his jurisdiction."

Speaking of which, apart from being in disrepair, the house collapsed because the people living there were lazy.

Naturally, Li Hui couldn't really find fault with him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said:

"It is not easy to integrate the two lifestyles. You have done a good job and there is no need to blame yourself. How many houses have collapsed here? Is there a record?"

When he mentioned this, Fu Zhao became furious, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said with a wry smile:

"To be honest with you, this Woluo Village is in constant trouble. Ever since it was recovered this year, there have been various situations. If the official hadn't brought people here to keep an eye on the autumn harvest, I'm afraid the grain production in the fields would have been reduced. The situation has changed. Three, in the end, the lower official had no choice but to send high-level officials to keep an eye on them, but the effect was not great."

While he was talking, Gao Xiaoli came over, bowed his hands and said:

"Xiaoguan Gao Zhengyang has met Mr. Li. I also asked Mr. Li to tell you. I really told him about cleaning the snow on the roof, but the effect was not great. I had no choice but to take Li Zheng and the eldest son of the family to help them. Cleaning up, but the three of us only have six hands, and the 89 households in the village are simply too busy to do it."

At the end of the story, Gao Xiaoli almost cried. He really felt aggrieved.

The county government office also has three classes and six offices, which are not as big as the government office. The junior official is the official position of the person in charge of each office.

There is a saying that "you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep." This is the case in Wo Luo Kuei Village today...
