In front of the common people in the city, the personal guards carried a whole 49 boxes of silver one by one. This is what Shen Hexi told the personal guards in advance, just take out a small part first, and leave the rest alone. Another day is sneaking out the dirty silver.He was really afraid that if the common people saw the boxes of real gold, silver, and antique jewelry, it would arouse public outrage and beat Liu Zhifu to death on the street on the spot.

However, just these 49 boxes of silver caused an uproar in Dunliang City. Dunliang City, which was so impoverished that it had to rely on imperial appropriations for its living, actually raised such a big corrupt official. 49 boxes of silver, millions of taels. How much food to change.

When Liu Zhifu, who had always been stubborn, saw the boxes of silver, he knew very well that he was completely finished.He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he fell into the hands of a little baby.Liu Zhifu, who had been limp on the ground, was disheartened. It was Shen Hexi who was trying to take him under the knife.There are too many corrupt officials in Dunliang City, why did they find him.

"I beg your lord to spare your life, my lord to spare your life." Liu Zhifu knelt on the ground in a disfigured manner, and kowtowed to Shen Hexi, wanting Shen Hexi to spare his life.

Shen Hexi sat on Yan Nu's shoulder, ignored him, and ordered Liu Zhifu to be thrown into prison and his home was raided.All the men in his family, old and young, were thrown away to build roads, while the female family members were assigned to Bai Qing to manage.

None of the officials who came with him dared to stand up and intercede for Liu Zhifu, and Zeng Xin, who went in just now, was so frightened that his legs were a little weak.He is usually more or less greedy for some silver, but the amount is not as much as a corner of Liu Zhifu. When he saw the mountains of gold and silver ingots piled up in the secret room just now, he knew that this Prince Shen, who looked like just a child, was targeting Liu. The magistrate is here.

Looking at the behavior of the guards in Liu's residence, it seems that it has been arranged long ago.The new Prince Shen from Dunliang City is definitely not just a puppet of the Fourth Prince.These people who have been in the officialdom for many years actually saw it wrong.Zeng Xin suddenly thought of a sentence "Don't bully the young and the poor." They just underestimated Lord Shen, and that's what happened.

Zeng Xin's guess was correct. Before moving these officials, Shen Hexi conducted a detailed investigation, and the one who embezzled the most money was undoubtedly Liu Zhifu.Since he is short of money, of course he has to catch a fat one. If he catches a small corrupt official like Zeng Xin, the little money he finds is not enough to repair the roads in Dunliang City.

Taking advantage of the bustle of arresting corrupt officials that day, Shen Hexi posted a notice on his fief for the first time, announcing two things. The first thing is that next spring Dunliang Mansion will hold a scientific examination, and anyone who studies can participate.The second thing is that the common people in his fief are exempted from all exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes for one year, and small vendors selling on the street are exempted from half of the miscellaneous taxes.

As soon as the notice was posted, the people in Dunliang City finally knew that their Dunliang City welcomed a very powerful Prince Shen.Many people had seen Shen Hexi in front of the Liu Mansion, the rumors spread, and when it reached Tucheng, it became known that Prince Shen was a child prodigy, with four arms and four legs, and everyone was afraid of him.Anyone who dares to disobey his orders can kill them with a wave of his hand.

Prince Rui in Tucheng laughed all day after hearing this rumor.He really didn't expect that such a small baby could make such a big commotion.If he hadn't received Liu Qinglei's letter to wait for him in Tucheng, he probably would have brought Jing Fan to Dunliang City to join in the fun after hearing the rumor.

Liu Qinglei is already on the way with the imperial decree and food, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach Tucheng before winter. Tucheng is the first big city to enter Dunliang Mansion after the waterway ends. Liu Qinglei wants to rest the team here. By the way, he will chat with his friend Rui for a while. Prince.

Inside the Jinlan Hall, Shen Hexi took the list handed over by Yan Nu and went through it carefully. They all said that the magistrate county in Qing Dynasty for three years had 10 snowflakes in silver. It's just that if you add a few [-] taels of gold, it will be unreasonable. Countless people starve to death in Dunliang City every year. He Liu Zhifu has so much silver in his hands but he is reluctant to part with a copper. This is a greedy skill. It's home too.

With money, Shen Hexi's wages for the workers can be regarded as settled, but if he wants to build roads, such a small amount of money is definitely not enough, he still has to find a way to change some money.

"Catching such a big corrupt official is really a relief." Shen Hexi slapped the list on the table, and drank a large teacup of water.Today's scene was really brilliant. Linghu Zheng, a god-man, is also amazing, he can take every step into consideration.Just now he heard from the guards who ransacked the house that there are indeed several organs in Liu Zhifu's study, and the hidden weapons inside are all poisonous. Guaranteed to escape.

Shen Hexi patted his small chest, as expected it is necessary to practice kung fu, this is really a trap everywhere, a trap.In case he didn't listen to Linghu Zheng and followed Liu Zhifu into his study today, the personal guards would not be able to make it in time, and he didn't know if he would be able to deactivate those hidden weapons by relying on the internal strength on the Youlan shop.

"Xi'er is really in the limelight today, but I still have to thank Mr. Linghu for his guidance. Otherwise, with Xi'er's violent temper, I'm afraid he would have directly chopped off the head of Liu Zhifu instead of performing a show on the street, my lord. It's a drama about fighting against corrupt officials." Li Bohan laughed.

"Mr. Linghu, take Xi'er as his apprentice." Shen Hexi said suddenly.

Li Bohan nodded at the side, even though Xiao Xi'er had a good eye, he only mentioned it last time, he thought he would wait a few more days to become a teacher, but he didn't expect to be so successful, many days earlier than he imagined.

"How dare an old minister be the prince's master." Linghu Zheng said, cupping his hands, but the smile in the corner of his eyes really betrayed him, and he probably wanted to take Shen Hexi as his disciples very much.

"Hey, old man Linghu, you're still in control." Seeing Linghuzheng's respectful expression, Shen Hexi jumped off the chair, picked up Linghuzheng's own teacup, and handed it to him.

"Master, please drink tea." Shen Hexi smiled as proudly as a little fox, he knew that Linghuzheng was for Li Baihan to see, and he knew in his heart that he wanted to worship him as his teacher, but he didn't know how happy he would be.

"The old minister should be respectful rather than obedient." As he spoke, Linghu Zheng took his teacup from Shen Hexi's hand and took a sip.

Such a simple ceremony of appreciating a teacher is enough, and Shen Hexi and Linghuzheng have become masters and apprentices in this way.Many years later, Li Bohan regretted it every time he thought about it. If he had known that Linghuzheng was so difficult to deal with, he would not have encouraged Shen Hexi to worship him as his teacher.

Dunliang City lost Liu Zhifu, Shen Hexi followed Linghuzheng's recommendation and used Qu Yi, a young scholar in his think tank.This person is a man of outstanding talent and looks extremely good. He was born as a Jinshi and had stayed in the Prince's Mansion for a period of time.Linghuzheng's recommendation of him was beyond Shen Hexi's expectations, Qu Yi is too young, can he hold the position?Shen Hexi expressed concern.

However, he didn't know the people in his think tank well, and with the trust in Linghuzheng, he agreed to let Qu Yi be the magistrate for a while, and if he couldn't, he would change it next year.

Some people in Dunliang City were panicked because of the change of the new magistrate, but Shen Hexi was not worried. He left the government affairs in the palace and went to the mountain with his troops.I haven't been there for several days, and I don't know how the project is going there.

Far away from the hot spring, Shen Hexi saw his greenhouse. The white crystal reflected the dazzling light in the sun. Shen Hexi couldn't help grinning when he saw it. This purple jade is very fast. Baijing is installed.

The entire greenhouse is fully covered, and some workers are cleaning up the rocks and soil beside the greenhouse.As soon as Shen Hexi's guard of honor arrived, Fang Ziyu greeted him.

"The villain has seen the prince." Fang Ziyu saluted.

"Get up, when did you install the white crystal, you can test whether it is ventilated." Shen Hexi supported Li Baihan's arm and jumped out of the car.Today he only came here with Li Baihan, and even Yan Nu was left in the mansion by him to assist Mr. Linghu in handling the government affairs of Dunliang City.

"Back to the lord, I just pretended to be the first one. The villain has already tried it. These white crystals are very neatly installed, airtight and watertight." Fang Ziyu is still very trustworthy. His subordinates are doing things. Besides, this is what the lord specially explained. He didn't dare to be careless.

"Very good, the straw curtains I mentioned last time, are you already weaving?" The straw curtains Shen Hexi mentioned are used to build greenhouses. He is afraid that the winter will be too cold, and the hot spring water will not be able to keep the greenhouses at a constant temperature.

"The construction will be completed in two days. The straw curtains on the north side have been laid, and now there are only a few missing on the south side."

Shen Hexi glanced at the back of the greenhouse, and sure enough, a thick layer of straw curtains had been laid neatly.Several workers stood on the roof of the greenhouse, adjusting the position of the straw curtains.

Everything is going according to Shen Hexi's plan, the greenhouse is almost built, and he is ready to start raising seedlings.The first choice was vegetables with a short growth cycle, and his mansion had already eaten radishes and cabbages for several days.

The temperature in the greenhouse is about 20 degrees Celsius. Now that all six heating pipes are used, the temperature is a little high, but this temperature is just right for growing seedlings.Shen Hexi divided the green vegetable seeds he bought himself, and found a few old farmers who had grown green vegetables before to help raise the seedlings.

As early as the beginning of the construction of the greenhouse, Shen Hexi hired a carpenter to make hundreds of rectangular wooden boxes.Each wooden box is half a meter long and [-] centimeters wide.The side of the wooden box is four fingers wide, and each wooden box is filled with the nutrient soil he prepared.The soil around Dunliang City is very sandy, and in some places the soil is even full of pebbles.Such soil is not suitable for growing vegetables.

In order to grow seedlings, he sent people to a distant mountain, and used a donkey cart to pull an unknown number of carts, the kind of gray-black soil in the forest.The soil in the forest contains a lot of nutrients, and the dead branches and leaves year after year dissolve in the soil and become the best fertilizer for plant growth.With the fertilizer, he made people use Shiloh to pass the soil layer by layer to filter out all the sand and stones in the soil, leaving only the soil.Mix a small amount of poultry manure to make the nutrient soil.

Because he has just started raising seedlings, as a young man who has lived in the city all year round, he can't handle the ratio well, so he can only experiment first.Poultry manure is a powerful fertilizer, and he uses a very small proportion every time.

During the seedling raising period, Shen Hexi turned himself into a small expert in planting and squatted in the greenhouse almost every day. For a while, Li Baihan even thought that Shen Hexi didn't want to be a prince anymore, but wanted to be a vegetable farmer.

When the other courtyard was built, Shen Hexi's first batch of radish seedlings came out.Because it was an experiment, the ten plates of radish seedlings were of different sizes, some were green and some were yellow.Although two sets failed, overall Shen Hexi's experiment was successful.In just a few moments, he got a rough idea of ​​the soil ratio for seedlings.

With a good start, the rest is much easier.Mix the soil well, put it into a wooden tray, sow the seeds, and then wait for the young seedlings to grow up and start eating.The air in this green wood is fresh, and things like diseases and insect pests can almost be ignored.
