Chapter 485

Half a year after Yang Heshu took office, he finally met the local grain merchant squire.

Unlike master Bai, the grain shops in Luojiang county are basically opened by local squires or big squires on the other side of the state capital.

When master Bai moved to Luojiang county that year, he saw that the grain shops in Luojiang County could not be poured with water, so he didn't join in. At most, he bought two shops in Luojiang county and handed them to the steward at the bottom to do some small business.

His own grain shop is not big in mianzhou. Several small shops can't even digest their own grain.

However, master Bai doesn't like to sell grain to grain merchants in Luojiang county. He has special partners, and Wu grain merchant is just one of them.

However, the grain merchants in Luojiang county are different from the squires. Yang Heshu simply snatched food from them at one stroke. It's strange that they can be happy.

Therefore, as soon as the small room next to the county government opened, the squires and grain merchants in Luojiang County became quiet.

But it was the county government. They couldn't use the means they used to deal with their competitors.

But they can't help it.

Who hasn't got a backer yet.

Even if their backer may not be as big as Yang Heshu, he can still impeach the government.

After all, Yang Heshu is just a county magistrate now, isn't he?

After the grain merchants found various relationships and finally succeeded in impeaching Yang Heshu, Yang Heshu's family letters and the official documents of the Ministry of officials came to an end.

While reading the letter, he said to Wantian without words: "do you think they are stupid? They give more than two or three Wen for a bucket of grain, or sell less than four or five Wen. They not only get the good of the people, but also earn money themselves. They have to throw out millions, thousands and thousands of Liang in order to impeach me upward."

Yang He Shu tut said, "they don't know. As long as I defend myself last time, it will probably be over? They spent all that money. "

Wan Tian stood silent.

Yang Heshu didn't want him to answer either. After reading the letter, he threw it aside. He walked with his hands on his back for a while and asked, "how much food do we have left?"

"Quite a lot."

Yang Heshu nodded, "let them continue to sell and limit. Hum, we don't care about them. Let's prepare horses. Let's go to the countryside."

As soon as I went out, I just ran into Zhang Zhushu who just wandered into the Yamen from the outside.

Yang Heshu immediately waved to him and asked, "have all the tax grain collected been settled?"

"Yes, it has been put into the grain depot according to the adult's instructions, and the rest has been stored in the warehouse in the Yamen." After a pause, Master Zhang asked, "Sir, when will the tax grain be transported?"

Yang Heshu said, "it's not urgent. Wait until I come back from the countryside."

"Are you going down the mountain?"

"Yes, I was about to tell you. I found that there are few ethnic mulberry and sericulture in the county. Unfortunately, I came late this year and have missed a year. I plan to let you try planting mulberry trees next year."

Master Zhang: "... Sir, the villagers are vulgar. I'm afraid they can't grow mulberry and raise silkworms."

"Why is it difficult?" Yang Heshu waved and said, "since they can grow grain and wheat, they should be able to grow mulberry."

"But the silkworm is delicate. I'm afraid we can't keep it alive."

"No, it will take another year or two for mulberry trees to grow," Yang Heshu said with a smile, confident in the people under his rule. "Then I'll invite some women who are good at sericulture from elsewhere to teach and let everyone learn seriously."

Master Zhang didn't expect that Yang Heshu even thought of this. Obviously, he had planned it long ago, so he couldn't help saying, "but Sir, let's not say that the mulberry is valuable. I'm afraid no villagers will be willing to pay for it."

Yang Heshu nodded, "I've already thought of it, so I'll choose some people to send some silkworm eggs. As long as they earn money, I think many people will be willing to pay for it the next year."

Yang Heshu wanted to send them directly, but his father had just warned him, so he had to step back.

Master Zhang:... It's also a worry for the county magistrate to be too rich.

Worried Zhang Zhushu watched Yang Heshu go with great strides.

Yang Heshu got on his horse and left with a yamen servant and Wantian.

Wantian and the Yamen are carrying a burden behind them. It is obvious that they do not intend to return to the county in recent days. Master Zhang looked at their disappearance sadly.

There are no bandits in Luojiang county. Cases such as murder may not happen together for three or five years. Most of them are cases of theft, neighborhood contradictions, or village to village violence.

Most of these cases are directly handed over to the county magistrate, who needs the county magistrate to go to court for judgment. There are no less than a few cases accumulated in ten days, so Yang Heshu can be very capricious and say to go.

Mainly, Yang Heshu handled official documents very quickly, which was completely different from that of Fu County Magistrate in the past.

Now people in all villages know that Yang Heshu is their county magistrate. When they saw him riding into the village from a distance, the children ran to inform the village head.

Yang Heshu found an open space to sit down and chat with the village head and the old people in the village.

This time, in addition to persuading everyone to grow mulberry and silkworm, he also advised everyone to plant winter wheat.

"I think the winter wheat harvested this spring is good. Many people have survived the most difficult period because of this season's wheat, and I asked, the yield is OK." Yang Heshu said, "both the yield of winter wheat and the rice planted later are OK."

An old man said, "yes, I'm afraid if I plant it again this season, the soil will be thin."

Yang He Shuli immediately said, "I think there is a good method of composting in Qili Village. We might as well learn it."

Yang Heshu became obsessed when man Bao said soil power at the beginning. He knew that there was a method of composting in his village, which was better and faster than those outside, so he wrote it down.

When Yang Heshu wandered outside to Qili Village, it was several days later.

Although Yang Heshu was willing to bear hardships, he would not deliberately embarrass himself. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Qili Village, he went to visit Bai's house with a smile.

After taking a bath and having dinner in the Bai family, Yang Heshu sat in the pavilion of the Bai family and talked to master Bai comfortably with a bowl of tea.

"Bai Shan, where are they?"

Master Bai smiled and said, "they go to school. When they go to school, I'll ask my servants to bring them to see adults."

Yang Heshu nodded, smiled and asked, "master Bai still wants to plant winter wheat this year?"

Master Bai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "some plans."

He wanted to try the new wheat seed. After all, he missed two seasons this year. He wanted to try whether the wheat he planted could be as good as that of three children.

Yang Heshu was pleasantly surprised, "can someone grow winter wheat in that village?"

Master Bai thought for a while and then said, "I've heard my family mention it occasionally, but several families have decided to plant it."
