Chapter 1760 The Renzi scroll lays a solid foundation

   For new things, the officials of the state and even the common people are suspicious and repulsive.

   This is also normal. After all, manpower, land and even fertilizer have to be invested. Once there is no harvest, who will count it? It is good for the common people to poke their backs and scold their mothers, but if it is not done well, there will be a civil uprising.

   This depends on the prestige and ability of local officials, and of course their insight.

Xu Guangqi has conducted a pilot project in Tianjin Wei for several years, which is also a bet on his reputation and wealth accumulated over the years as an official. If you don't know the situation in Fuzhou, you try it?

Feng Ziying's qualifications are relatively low, so in Shuntian Mansion, she pushed this forcefully, and the prefectures and counties below gave her face, even if it was to deal with it, it was because Feng Ziying's reputation had indeed risen in the past few years, and there were big bosses behind her to support her. I'm afraid it will be much worse.

  Fu Shi also spared no effort to run around, waving flags and shouting. It is passable to have such a result. Feng Ziying can't ask too much.

   "Qiusheng, how is the harvest in the first season? What do you think of the next county?" Feng Ziying also knows that this needs a process.

If it wasn't for the current drought that might bring homeless people everywhere, he could actually afford to wait and take his time, that is, as long as he was working in the Shuntian Mansion for a day, he could spare no effort to promote it, but now, this sense of urgency forced him to Don't push too hard.

"How about the harvest, it's a little worse than our expectations, but better than what we feared. It's more than enough." Fu Shi said honestly, "But that's not the reason, the main reason is that many people have this taste I’m still not used to it, I always feel a little weird,…”

"When they are starving to death, they will regard this as a delicacy in the world." Feng Ziying responded coldly, "That's how it is, and you should also keep an eye on the second season. Next spring is the last season." In difficult times, I believe that these two things can solve the urgent needs of many people. In addition, the storage method taught by Zi Xiangong must be strictly followed by all states and counties, otherwise the first season will be in vain,..."

"Don't worry, my lord, this point has been told one by one by the lower officials, and they also know the pros and cons of what is implemented on the head. This is all harvested. If the result is ruined, my lord will not forgive me." Fu Shi laughed, "The lower officials also acted like tigers."

"Well, you did a good job." Feng Ziying nodded with satisfaction, "In addition, considering the special geographical location of our Shuntian Mansion, this year's severe drought will definitely increase the number of displaced persons. We can't wait for the court to provide relief. The decree, I'm afraid I have to do it first,..."

  Fu Shi asked in surprise: "My lord, we have made full preparations according to your instructions in May and June. Until August and September, the relief warehouse in the government has been fully stocked."

"It's not enough, it's not enough." Feng Ziying stood up, shaking her head with a serious expression, "I'm worried about Zhending and Baoding. In addition, Datong and Taiyuan in Shanxi are close to our side. We ignored it before. If the refugees in these places have nothing to do to survive, I'm afraid they may all come to the capital,..."

   "This should be their local responsibility..." Fu Shi said indignantly.

"Qiu Sheng, we are in the Shuntian Prefecture. We cannot be as knowledgeable as those prefectures. We need to stand at a higher position. In the eyes of the princes in the court, it is only natural to solve the court's problems. We have done poorly. The princes don't say it verbally, but they feel sorry for us in their hearts. Even if it is done well, the imperial court will not praise it on the surface, but it will also give us a credit in the heart."

Feng Ziying's tone of voice was very weak, but in Fu Shi's ears, he suddenly became enlightened. No wonder he became a senior member of the fourth rank at a young age. Look at this awareness and comprehension, and try to figure out the court's intentions. How can a character not fly to the top?

   "Understood." Fu Shi nodded again and again, "Do you want to continue collecting and storing?"

"Well, since the price of grain has not risen out of control, we can count as much as we can buy and store. I estimate that after November, the price will not come down." Feng Ziying sighed, "That's why I want to let You are watching the states and counties store those potatoes and sweet potatoes, maybe one or two pieces of potatoes and sweet potatoes can save a life."

   "It's just my lord, there isn't much money left in the mansion, I'm afraid it's hard to say where Mrs. Mei is." Fu Shi hesitated for a moment.

   "I will say hello to Mei Zhiye. If he is a smart person, he won't be in the way at this time." Feng Ziying said flatly.

Fu Shi couldn't help explaining for Mei Zhiye, "My lord, it's not really a hindrance to Mr. Mei, the main thing is that the grains that are turned over to the household department must not be less, and the ones left must be enough for the daily expenses of the house. I have already overdrawn a lot, and Mrs. Mei still spent some time to deal with it."

"I also know this, but the extraordinary period can better reflect the loyalty and ability of our officials in Shuntian Mansion, otherwise why would the imperial court look at us in Shuntian Mansion?" Feng Ziying glanced at Fu Shi, "You go call Mei Zhiye Come, let me have a good talk with him."

  When Mei Zhiye received Fu Shi's invitation, he felt mixed feelings.

Fu Shi is Feng Ziying's man, and now he follows Feng Ziying from head to toe. Something happened to the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion. Mei Zhiye thought carefully about whether Fu Shi would be implicated. It is estimated that Feng Ziying would protect him. Feng Ziying still can't do without Fu Shi, and the key is that Feng Ziying has this ability.

  The Jia family’s affairs are not small. Fu Shi is a student of Jia Zheng, so it is said that he will definitely be involved, and dismissal is the lightest thing. But for Feng Ziying, he is afraid that he will try his best to save Fu Shi.

  There are people in the court who are good at being officials, Mei Zhiye sighed in his heart.

  Mei Zhiye never thought that his daughter-in-law, who retired from the engagement, would marry into the Feng family with Xue's parents and daughters, and become Feng Ziying's concubine.

  The status of concubine is quite embarrassing. It is much worse than a full-fledged wife, but higher than a concubine. This kind of situation happens in rich families, but it is not common, and more people prefer to take concubines.

My own engaged daughter-in-law is acting like a concubine. I always feel bad, but I can’t say anything. My family voluntarily repented of the marriage and resigned, and even their reputation was affected. Now they are looking for another good family. Who can do what? wrong?

   But the owner is his boss, which is a bit embarrassing.

When Feng Ziying came, Mei Zhiye didn't intend to make trouble with him. He also knew that Feng Ziying had always been strong, so he kept a cold eye on the sidelines and kept the attitude of not disturbing each other. It is also impossible.

   It’s just that there are people in the mansion who know about this relationship, and it spreads slowly, and it’s inevitable that it will become bad. In daily affairs, there will inevitably be some quarrels intentionally or unintentionally, so the relationship cannot be said to be good.

Fortunately, Mei Zhiye could also feel that Feng Ziying didn't target him very much, it seemed that he was focused on doing things, and he hardly had much energy to ask about his own affairs, which made him feel relieved and a little bit lost. Well, it's a bit of the sense of loss that I felt after being underestimated because I wasn't caught in the eye by him.

  Even Mei Zhiye himself felt that he was a bit mean, why wasn't Feng Ziying targeting him, and he wasn't happy about it?

Therefore, in the middle of the year, Fu Shi followed Feng Ziying's intention to collect and store a large amount of grain, and even spent some of the other funds in the government, such as the fish tax and some commercial taxes of the Hebo Institute, but he did not say a word, because he also saw that this year It is very wise for Feng Ziying to plan ahead for the possible problems caused by the severe drought in the north.

  Now the mansion has spread the word that Wu Daonan is going to leave, but the imperial court will not send a governor, and Feng Ziying will act as an agent of government affairs, almost as an agent of the governor.

Of course, it is not easy for Feng Ziying to take the position directly as governor. He has already been promoted from the Tongzhi of Yongping Mansion to serve as Chancellor of Shuntian Mansion. It has only been a year. It is too shocking to make another breakthrough. The imperial court would not be so unruly.

   But no matter what, if someone acts as an agent for the government affairs, that is to act as the governor's power. Anyone who dares to disobey will suffer no good fruit, and I am no exception.

   Thoughts were running wild in his mind, but he tidied up his clothes and walked towards Fu Chenggong.

  Just walked to the gate of Fu Chenggong's house, but saw that the promoter Song Xian had already come out, and seemed to be talking with Feng Ziying who came out together, looking very affectionate.

  Mei Zhiye's heart was also moved. Although Song Xian was originally inclined to Feng Ziying, he was never so close. He was obviously aware of the change in style. They are all smart people. Well, why not yourself? It's time to pack up those little thoughts and emotions.

  After Song Xian left, Mei Zhiye smiled and nodded at Song Xian calmly, and then greeted Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying was very friendly, and politely greeted Mei Zhiye to enter.

  After exchanging a few pleasantries, Feng Ziying asked about this year's tax revenue.

I have to admit that Mei Zhiye has done a good job in this aspect. Feng Ziying gave the other party a passable grade, and he can feel that Mei Zhiye doesn't seem to have much resistance. That's good. .

   "Master Mei, I have something to discuss with Mr. Mei when I invite him here today." Feng Ziying said with a smile.

   "Your Majesty Feng, you are being polite. If you have anything to do, please do not hesitate to order me. I will do whatever I can." Mei Zhiye nodded solemnly.

"Well, if it's an ordinary matter, I won't be embarrassed, but when it comes to Mr. Mei's wealth, you also know that Mr. Wu has other arrangements and entrusts this officer to handle it. For the sake of the imperial court, for the sake of the Shuntian government, we have to discuss with Master Mei to settle this matter." Feng Ziying looked at the other party.
