After dressing as a widow

"The time is too fast, and if it is too late, it will not be able to catch up with the cultivation, so I am afraid that this matter will be spread out tomorrow." Whether it is Quyuanli or grain seeds, it takes time to do it, just like coals falling on the back of the foot , I can't wait to catch it immediately.

Gu Lin remembered Qu Yuanli's appearance in his heart, and closed his frequently used booklet: "Okay."

"The charcoal fire is already burning in the house, you should rest first."

Lin Zhen looked at him: "Well, I just ate at Xu Fulang's place, and you probably haven't eaten since you handed over to Mr. Xu."

"No, I'll use some in the kitchen after you go back to the room."

Lin Zhen trusts Gu Lin in every aspect, trusts that he can handle business affairs well, trusts that he can take care of himself, trusts him like he trusts himself, and nods when he hears what he said, and can't help but slap yawn.

It has been bumpy for half a month, even though the road in Lizhou is much more stable than that in Anyuan Town, it is still not as good as lying on the bed. Lin Zhen fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed, half of his face was buried in the quilt, and only half of his face was exposed. Nose bridge and long eyebrows.

He was very alive when he was not asleep, and amazingly beautiful when he was asleep.

Gu Lin bent down and kissed him between the eyebrows, eyes, bridge of the nose and cheeks, and told the serving Lu Lu to watch in the room, not leaving for a moment, before turning to go to the yamen.

The staff in the state capital already knew that Gu Lin was the newly appointed magistrate of the state, and when they saw him striding forward, they quickly saluted. As for what they were thinking, only they knew.

Xu Zhizhou has been in office for eight years, he is not greedy for money or fame, he is dedicated to his career, and everyone in the state government sees it, so the feelings towards Xu Zhizhou are naturally different.

Gu Lin, a brat, took Xu Zhizhou's place as soon as he arrived, and when they heard that Xu Zhizhou was about to be relegated to a small place in the south as a county magistrate, they looked at Gu Lin with thorns in their eyes.

Gu Lin saw it, but didn't pay attention, and just ordered: "Tomorrow, everyone in the state capital will come here at all times. I have something to order. If you are not here at this time, you will pass it on your behalf."

Seeing that Gu Lin was young, the few people didn't take his words seriously, but Gu Lin's tone made them feel a little bit drummed inexplicably.

The next day, before dawn, some people came one after another from the main hall of the state government office. The people who came looked at the people they knew in the past, and they couldn't hold back their faces. After all, they were still together yesterday to thank Xu Zhizhou for them Good, but now the newcomer Gu Lin arrives as soon as he is called, no matter how you think about it, it is not a taste.

Suddenly, a tall middle-aged man with a purple complexion walked in. This man was wearing a green official robe and a black official hat, and he looked a bit decent.

When the people gathered here saw him, they hurriedly saluted: "Master Tongzhi."

"They're all here," Li Zhou's fellow magistrate and friends glanced at them. Before they finished scanning, they saw Jiang Jing, the judge who often worked with him, and Gao Tong, the official, walking in from the gate. The two saw him clasping his hands together. Salute, "My lord."

There are Tongzhi and judges in Zhizhou. Tongzhi is from the sixth grade, and the judge is from the seventh grade. Tongzhi is in charge of local salt, grain, disasters, water conservancy and other miscellaneous things. Judges are special ones sent by the imperial court to monitor local officials Positions, not only can directly send local officials’ papers to the imperial court, but also be responsible for local taxes, corvees, and military affairs. Although the magistrate has the right to formulate relevant government orders for taxation, corvees, and military affairs, they must be stamped with the seal of the judge to take effect. .

Zhizhou, Tongzhi, and judges complement each other and restrain each other, all in order to prevent monopoly.

The three of them were old foxes who had been there for decades, and they didn't ask each other why they came, but the old god was standing on the ground.

As soon as the three of them stood still, a figure walked in. The three of them fixed their eyes and saw that the person who came was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. Black gauze official hat.

The people standing made way to the two sides, and when Gu Lin walked up, they all saluted: "I will see you, my lord."

Tongzhi, magistrates, officials, government servants, and other non-staff personnel, adding up to more than 50 people, will fill the main hall.

Gu Lin raised his hand to let them stand up, put the things in his hands on the table, and motioned to the yamen servant closest to him: "Give these three pre-established documents to the Tongzhi, the judge, and the officials."

When they heard that Gu Lin actually had a pre-authorized letter for them, except for Gu Lin, the magistrate of the state, the three people in power in Lizhou murmured in their hearts, and looked down after the yamen servant delivered the pre-authorized letter to them.

At the beginning of watching, the faces of several people were as usual, and slowly they watched faster and faster, and there was a sense of impatience.

Tongzhi, with a pale complexion and a strong body, was the first to finish reading. He looked at the little Zhizhou sitting on top of him, who looked like a little boy, with arms and legs not half as thick as his own: "This pre-authorized book is written by adults. Write?"

Before Gu Lin could answer, he said, "That Qu Yuanli is really like what your lord said above, that one person can break through the soil with one person pulling and one person supporting it? And that compost, does it really have such a great magical effect?"

The official, who was slightly shorter than him and had a softer face, looked at the things in his hands and couldn't believe his eyes. Do these things really exist, and they weren't written by those bluffing liars to coax people to play?

Only the judge looked at Gu Lin suspiciously, and looked down at the things on the pre-established book again.

Gu Lin, who had eaten some meals yesterday and wrote the preliminaries overnight, said: "In my hometown, compost has been used for six or seven years, and the sorghum and buckwheat that originally produced [-] to [-] catties per mu are now yielding three One hundred fifty-six to four hundred catties."

Tongzhi and Limu heard that the yield per mu of 300 to [-] catties had changed to more than [-] catties and [-] catties. They shook their hands and shook their heads while reading the pre-established book, in disbelief.

But Gu Lin's expression was so peaceful and quiet, as if what he said was not a number that made the people below them jump in fear, but an ordinary sentence.

His complexion was red and purple, he took a deep breath when he looked at the more serious and frightening Tong Zhi, and cupped his hands at Gu Lin: "Please speak more clearly and carefully, my lord!"

Gu Lin glanced at him, starting from the first thing in the book they all preliminarily set up, the remarkable effect of composting, and the fact that composting is not in time now, and manure is used instead, and composting will be done in large quantities next year.

It is exactly the same as in Lin Zhen’s brochure, except that the Quyuanli is drawn bigger, and this year’s farmers can first go to the Zhizhou government to borrow grain seeds on credit, and repay them according to a certain interest rate during the autumn harvest...

One by one, it couldn't be more clear, not to mention Tongzhi and Limu, who originally held the job of government servants, but the family still has farms and fields, and they couldn't listen more seriously.

When Lin Zhen got up, he heard that Xu Zhizhou and Xu Fulang had left, and they left at dawn. He also heard from Lu Lu that Mr. Gu was busy in the front hall. The expressions are different.

Lulu and the others are servants, and they cannot go forward without the order of Gu Lin, the prefect. Lin Zhen’s identity to the outside world has not been clarified, and he does not plan to go forward. Here comes the pamphlet, and continue to ponder the contents.

Lizhou has already arrived, and his jade powder business can be spread out. The several types of rice he brought are not too many, and the finished product is about [-] boxes.

There is also flower dew. The climate and environment in Lizhou is poor. I don’t know how many flowers can survive here, and flowers are an indispensable raw material for making flower dew. I have to check it myself.

Finally, he and Gu Lin thought about buying grain seeds from merchants through Hekou yesterday. This matter is urgent and must be resolved immediately.

Lin Zhen wrote several plans on paper, revised and daubed them, but in the end, there were not many that were really feasible.

Lin Zhen, who had thought about things deeply, leaned on the pillow, his hair that was not tied up with a headband was scattered on his shoulders, with a little curl.

Give all the instructions in front, and let the magistrates go to the townships to inform people that Gu Lin, who will come to the magistrate's office tomorrow morning to discuss the making of Quyuanli, the use of dung water, and the collection of grain seeds, came in and saw this scene .

He paused, walked in, and sat on the edge of the bed: "Have you had breakfast?"

Lin Zhen, who was just thinking about it, saw him coming, and immediately saw a little blue under his eyes, "Did you sleep late last night?"

"Well, I took the time to write a few pre-established documents, and the spring plowing is urgent, so I can't delay it." Gu Lin himself felt okay, not too tired, but looking at Lin Zhen's gaze, he raised his hand and pinched the base of his nose .

Lin Zhen put his hands on his eyes: "Don't take staying up late just because you are young, if you get some kind of migraine and neuralgia, it will be hard."

"Come up and sleep for a while, I just got enough sleep, wash your face and wake up." After saying that, Lin Zhen got up from the bed, stepped on his two jade feet into his shoes, and pushed Gu Lin onto the bed along the way. .

Gu Lin lifted the quilt with one hand, and pulled him who had already got up under the quilt with the other, covering him tightly inside.

The Lulu who was serving her eyes widened when she saw this scene. Lin Zhen bought them from Ren Yazi. When they were in Kyoto, they knew that Lin Zhen and Gu Lin were uncles and nephews from the names of the neighbors.

But on the way from the capital to Lizhou, although my master and his nephew were not tired, the atmosphere in which the two stood together did not allow them to think in that direction at all.

But seeing it with your own eyes is another thing now!

"Go out." Gu Lin ordered without looking at Lulu.

Lu Lu has always been afraid of his master's nephew for no reason, the current Lord Zhizhou, bowed nonchalantly and walked out of the house, after thinking about it, he closed the door.

"Squeak—" The sound of the door closing could be heard clearly in the bed, Lin Zhen was rolled up in the quilt, and finally got out of the quilt, he looked at Gu Lin, "It's not honest to even have dark circles! "

Gu Lin put his arms around his waist, hugged him between his legs, and let him lie on his body: "I'll just rely on you to raise my spirits for a while."

Lin Zhen was tightly wrapped in the quilt, and his face was flushed with smoke, while Gu Lin half leaned on the bed, holding the wrapped Lin Zhen on his body, and the clothes on his body were neat.
