Chapter 575 A Master among the People

Yuan Shaoqiu was injured, and Ji Xun had been staying in the palace for a few days to recuperate. With the medical treatment of the Purple Mist Mountain recovering faster, and the two sisters, danzhu and Don Joo, were originally Su Mianyue's people, so it was not inconvenient to live in the palace.

As for Su Mianyue's dowry, it took four and a half days to close.

The Su Family did not want to take the trouble to guard it, but they were busy with the officials, but they were not tired of it.

The dowries that were sent into the palace went into Su Mianyue's private vault. At least, it was obvious that the ownership of these things belonged only to Su Mianyue. Su Mianyue had nothing to do with how outsiders viewed them. Ji Xun did not need to inform her when he wanted to use them, but the dowries occupied all the rooms in the pepper house. There was simply not enough of an internal storage room.

The vassals had been staying in the post house for the past few days, and they had been keeping an eye on the state treasury.

No matter how much dowry Su Mianyue carried into the palace, it would not have much impact on them, but the gold, silver, food and grain in the treasury were related to their choice after they returned to the land. If they wanted to usurp the throne, it would depend on whether they had the life to win the war.

Because the treasury had only released the data in four and a half days, the time Ji Xun had given them was naturally a little more relaxed. After all, the treasury could no longer hold so much food and silver, so the Ministry of Revenue immediately went up to heaven to listen to it and left a space for food and some silver for the Dali Temple. These will be sent to the people, just to temporarily lend to the Dali Temple.

However, the memorials that the officials had discussed for three days were sent back by Ji Xun with a wave of his hand.

The constructive proposals of these officials were not useless, but they all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit. The proposals were so disgusting that they almost spent all the real money Su Mianyue had donated to the treasury just by building the dam and changing the river.

Not to mention that the distribution of those seeds was indistinguishable from the distribution of grain, which was undoubtedly a waste of grain. It could be seen that these officials did not understand the issue of si nong at all. In this era, besides military affairs, grain was the most important thing. How could a country be rich with these officials?

"I will give you one last chance. If the court does not come up with a practical proposal early tomorrow morning, you will be ready to go to the local area for training. If you do not know about sangtian, there is no possibility of being transferred back to Capital City." Ji Xun flung his sleeves and stormed out of Golden Chime Hall, scaring all the officials out of breath and making them fall to the ground.

"Prime minister, what can we do? This proposal was thought up by everyone with great effort, but it was judged useless by the emperor. How can we write another proposal in just one day?" Although the Ministry of Revenue minister had been happy for a few days because the treasury was full, he was now the one who was most afraid. After all, there were many things in this proposal that he agreed to, especially those that needed money.

Other officials also agreed, and the right side looked helplessly at the crowd. Finally, his eyes fell on a few poor officials, but he shook his head in disappointment. These poor officials were also people who did not know about agriculture and mulberry. This time, they had suffered.

However, when his eyes fell on a humble official standing in the corner, his right eye suddenly lit up, and he rushed to the humble official in a polite manner and asked excitedly, "Are you si nongqing Jin Sanlang?"

All the officials looked at the right-hand side in puzzlement. Jin Sanlang and the others knew that after all, he was also an official who wanted to join the pilgrimage, but Jin Sanlang's position was extremely low. He was only a fifth grade deputy to the agriculture department, and he had never reported anything to the sky in the past few years. Many people thought that his official position had stopped here, and even more disdained to make friends.

Jin Sanlang had no family background at all. From his name, one could tell that his family was born with mud legs. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a name like sanlang.

Jin Sanlang, who was named, cupped his hand and said, "Go back to the right. It's Jin Sanlang, secretary of agriculture."

"Okay, okay." He patted Jin Sanlang on the shoulder and asked, "I heard that you were doing farm work while studying for the imperial examinations, and at the beginning of your official career, you were also doing odd jobs to save money to buy houses in the capital and come to reunite with many young and old people. Even now, the whole family is still doing odd jobs, but really?"

The words of the right hand made many people look even more disdainful, but no one dared to interrupt the words of the right hand at this time.

Jin Sanlang nodded his head without changing his expression, "Yes, the lower official's salary is small and he barely makes a living. His nephew is in the period of enlightenment and needs money to fill the four treasures of the study."

The right side praised him and said, "As an official, you should not forget your roots. Your honor and disgrace are not startled. Si nongqing's actions are exemplary to all officials. I should learn more from you."

As he said this, the right hand held Jin Sanlang's shoulder and walked out side by side with him, only talking about the topic and then talking about the issue of nongsang. In the end, it was all about the early court today. Those who followed the right hand at this time did not understand his intention to be a fool.

In the pepper house, Ji Xun heard the eunuch's report and snorted softly. If these useless people didn't know how to consult real talents, he didn't mind giving them away.

Seeing that Ji Xun's face was still ugly, Su Mianyue sat down beside him with a light smile and said: "There's no need to be angry at these people. They were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. Naturally, they don't understand the sufferings of the people. Even the servants are in charge of the food in their mansions. Even telling them that an egg is a silver or two is something that some people believe."

"A bunch of useless people who only know how to get paid and can't do anything." Ji Xun cursed in a low voice, thinking that the imperial examination system should be improved, otherwise it would be impossible for the Yan Country to become stronger.

What is needed most now is professionals, not bureaucrats who can only recite the eight-part essay. Although classics are useful, innovation can keep the country strong.

Su Mianyue smiled gently, took the tea from the palace and handed it to Ji Xun. After waving the people to retreat, he said: "These officials have their own uses, and you don't have to worry about these things. Everything needs to be developed step by step to get on track. As long as you have the determination, you don't have to be afraid that you can't make the Yan Country strong."

"Yue has a good idea?" Ji Xun asked subconsciously. Seeing Su Mianyue's smiling face, she was sure that she had a way, just as Su Mianyue had prepared so much food and seeds this year.

Although Su Mianyue had sent a lot of hamsters to steal the private treasury of the vassal kings, most of the food was sent directly to the poor people, or sent to the military barracks stationed everywhere, which also saved manpower and material resources.

But no one knew about Su Mianyue's actions, and his reputation was given to the court. Ji Xun was the biggest beneficiary, or the Yan Country would be afraid of more civil strife.

Knowing that Ji Xun was in a hurry, Su Mianyue did not take it to heart, "This is really not an easy thing to do, but we need a real si nong right now. Yu might as well send people to the people to find some experts to help with the implementation of the new policy. I believe that someone will be willing with the salary of the court, and it is not necessary for them to leave their hometown to come to Capital City to serve."

"Is Yue trying to tell me that the masters are among the people?" Ji Xun smiled, obviously understanding what Su Mianyue meant.

He agreed, but it was not something that could be done within a month or two. He asked, "What is Yue's opinion on the real solution to the problem of farming and mulberry?"
