"My lord, my lord, someone is coming from the capital."

The magistrate of Luojiang County stood up and asked happily: "Where is it? Please come in quickly. Is it an official document or an imperial edict?"

"It's a gentleman from the Ministry of Revenue, accompanied by officials from the Mianzhou Governor's Office. He said he is here to purchase and arrange new rice seeds..."

The county magistrate stiffened, "Huh?"

Many new rice seeds were planted in Qili Village, among which the Zhou family was the most important. After Zhou Lizhong was announced to the capital, the county magistrate sent people to the village to tell them that the new rice must be kept and no one was allowed to sell it at will.

During this time, he has been contacting people in Qili Village, wanting to buy new rice to keep as seeds, but because the price he offered was low, he didn't buy much.

He could ban Qili Village from selling new rice, but he could not forcefully buy it from them. Before, the villagers in Qili Village might have been panicked and would not dare not sell it.

But now they are not very afraid.

First, the people in the village are not very short of money. They have made a lot of money over the years by growing ginger, yams, ligustrum and other medicinal materials with the Zhou family;

The second reason is because they have Zhou Man as their backer.

Zhou Man's official position is much higher than that of the county magistrate. They are not afraid of the county magistrate. They are not allowed to sell food, so they will change it.

Just exchange some new rice for relatives and friends, exchange one pound for five or six pounds, and then sell the exchanged rice.

If not, you can still leave it to Mr. Bai.

The county magistrate has nothing to do with Mr. Bai. I heard that Mr. Bai has selected new rice seeds for sale. The price is more than twice that of ordinary rice seeds, which is very profitable.

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue, together with the Mianzhou Governor's Office, went to Qili Village to purchase new rice seeds.

The Zhou family's new rice is purchased at the normal price, and other villagers' homes are negotiated by them.

However, with Mr. Bai here, the court wanted to purchase new rice seeds from Mr. Bai, so they would not treat each other too badly, and Mr. Bai would not take advantage of his in-laws too much, so things went smoothly here.

The grain seeds were sent to the Mianzhou warehouse, and then the calculation of the rice seeds to be distributed to each county began...

Although the magistrate of Luojiang County could participate in this matter, he did not have much say. When he returned to the county government office, he was filled with regret.

"I should have agreed when Zhou Lizhong proposed sowing new rice seeds."

The master and the county magistrate also regretted it, "County magistrate, I can only look at the new year. After all, the first batch of new rice seeds were planted in Qili Village. The farmers there must have left a lot of new rice seeds. Next year our county will sow new rice."

The area planted is definitely higher than other counties, which is also a political achievement."

The county magistrate could only comfort himself in this way.

In comparison, Qingzhou is going more smoothly.

Because new rice seeds are basically sown in Beihai County, mostly in official fields, Governor Guo personally came forward. Bai Shan only left a batch of rice seeds for next year, and the rest were sold to the governor's office at market prices.

The governor's office then distributed it to each county.

By the time these things were done, winter had already entered Qingzhou, Zhou Man was wrapped in a cloak, and Bai Jingxing's child was dressed like a ball, sitting on the circled couch and playing with colorful wooden blocks. He used the wooden blocks to build everyone

Something that I can't even understand.

Bai Ruoyu sat on the other side, and he kept stacking them up. When they reached a certain height, the wooden blocks fell down. He was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Bai Jingxing's.

He leaned forward and swept down the wooden blocks Bai Jingxing put up with a sweep of his little hand.

This was not the first time, so Bai Jingxing turned around without stopping, clenched his small fist and beat him.

Bai Ruoyu screamed, and the two children rolled into a pile. Bai Jingxing pressed down on Bai Ruoyu and beat them.

The servants quickly picked them up and separated them, while Bai Ruoyu burst into tears.

Mingda on the side calmly wiped his tears and said to him, "You can't beat her every time, so why do you always provoke her?"

Zhou Man also said to Bai Jingxing, "Don't do it. You are still young and cannot control your strength. Hitting someone will be very painful."

Bai Erlang came in with a plate of grapes. Seeing that his son was crying again, he sat aside without being surprised, peeled off a grape, picked out the seeds and stuffed it into his mouth. Bai Ruoyu stopped crying instantly.

Zhou Man was curious: "Where did the grapes come from at this time?"

"It was sent from the capital," Bai Erlang said: "It is said to be a tribute from the Western Regions. It has been kept in ice. It was sent yesterday together with the Winter Solstice gift."

Zhou Man: "Is it still far away from the winter solstice?"

Bai Erlang nodded and said: "Yes, I think they just want to find an excuse to send us things. They should send some more things before and after the winter solstice."

He paused and then looked at Zhou Man, "Your Majesty sent a letter asking us when we will return to Beijing."

Zhou Man looked back innocently, "What do you want me to do? You can go back if you want."

Bai Erlang scratched his head and said: "I can be anywhere, but we are worried that it will be difficult to come out after we go back. Moreover, the child is still young. Will it be too cold on the road?"

This means that I don’t want to go back yet.

Zhou Man looked back and forth between the two of them and considered, "So you mean to let me?"

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, "You can also write a letter to His Majesty and send it back together with our letter."

"Okay," Zhou Man said, "It just so happens that you can experience Qingzhou's New Year's ceremony."

Zhou Man went to write a letter to the emperor.

When the emperor received these two letters, even with the expensive Winter Solstice gifts from his daughter and son-in-law, he was still so angry that his beard was flying.

"Mingda went out and didn't want to come back. She was so good before. Bai Er's teaching must have broken her."

The queen was much more fair, saying: "I don't think the consort doesn't want to come back, but it's Mingda's idea. Her idea is much more upright than the consort."

The emperor curled his lips, muttered a few words and then stopped talking. Forget it, it's better to follow his daughter's wishes than to follow his consort's wishes, right?

The princess of the Jin Dynasty lived as wantonly as Mingda, but she was the only one.

It was also because of this wantonness that the emperor did not think of giving Bai Er another official position. If he became an official, Mingda would not be so wanton.

However, although Bai Er did not hold the post, his name can still be seen in the folders sent from Beihai County. Basically, he has a share of the achievements there.

The courtiers all know that the current Beihai County salt fields, docks, official fields, and even the Salt Transportation Department that was just established in Beihai County all owe a share of the credit to Bai Cheng and Yin You.

Neither Bai Shan's excerpts nor Guo Governor's excerpts conceal this point.

When they come back from Beihai County in the future, if they really want to be rewarded based on their merits, they will have a share, even if they are not in office.

The 22nd year of Dazhen was destined to be an important year in the annals of history. In this year, penicillin came out, two new rice strains came out, the salt policy of the imperial court was reformed, the Salt Transportation Department was established, and the Imperial Medical Office was reformed. These two institutions were important for future generations.

Pharmacy established;

The Jin Dynasty lost a capable admonishment minister...

In the following years, in addition to daily affairs, the imperial court and local government offices resolutely implemented the national policies formulated this year.
