Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

At the beginning of the same day, the three elders of the county government, together with the local head, Baozhang, Jiazhang, and the local Juren lord, went to the field of Tianjia.

Old man Tian's two sons carried a large scale and a pan scale, and four helpers carried a dozen large baskets.

At such a moment, Jia Yun became the object of everyone's respect, and Jia Lian and Xiao Baozi accompanied Jia Yun as his followers.

According to Jia Lian's intention, the land should be measured first, and a drainage ditch should be dug in two parts according to the consideration of drainage during cultivation.After measuring, it was two cents and one centimeter.

Then, old man Tian took his two sons to dig, and his wife took two daughter-in-laws to pack them in baskets.

The first plant contained ten sweet potatoes, and the largest one weighed more than a catty.One plant harvests four catties and six taels of sweet potatoes.

A smile suddenly appeared on Jia Lian's face.

Jia Lian personally watched the scales and dug a total of eight baskets. After the scales, the total weight was 630 five catties.The yield per mu is [-] jin.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, and pointed to the sweet potato field next to him quietly: "Dig another ridge."

The head of the village and the head of Bao personally measured the second ridge, this time it was nine per cent.

As a result, this time there was a harvest of 580 per catty.The yield per mu is more than [-].

Jia Lian asked the local chief Jia: "According to your knowledge, how many families in your area can surpass or equal to Tian's family in harvest?"

Jia Chang said: "There are about two families whose harvest is slightly better than Tian's family. Their family is an old man who has cultivated the land for generations. There are three more families that are similar to Tian's family. Their fields are good fields, and the remaining four families are Zhongtian."

Jia Lian immediately said, "Take us to have a look."

Chief Jia said that the surname is Kong, who is better than Tian's family, and they are two brothers.

Jia Lian casually pointed to a piece of land to measure the excavation, and as a result, 970 catties were harvested from three parts of the land.Another piece was dug next to it, two parts of the land, six hundred and fifty catties.It is slightly higher than Tianjia, and the yield per mu is about 320 jin.

Chief Jia found a family surnamed Peng. His family was Zhongtian, and they harvested 630 catties in three parts.

Then, the sandy land was excavated, and four hundred catties were harvested in three parts.

Jia Lian's face suddenly turned into a flower.Jia Yun also quickly recorded the data.

The final result was that Jia Yun led the three families of Tian, ​​Kongpeng, and the sweet potatoes dug out of their respective fields to the county government to hold a commendation exchange meeting.

Jia Yun summoned the chiefs of Baojia from the eleven villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Shuntai County to attend a sweet potato planting feast in the county government office.

On that day, Jia Lian dispatched messengers to the various officials under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou Prefecture, and at noon the next day, they went to Shuntai County to participate in the sweet potatoes and have a bountiful Qingfeng banquet.At the same time, Jia Lian invited Prince Teng, the inspector of the nine provinces, and the chief envoy to attend the harvest banquet.

That night, Jia Lian ordered the little leopard to secretly bring the Tian family's youngest daughter-in-law's natal family and a family of seven into Shuntai County.

In the early morning of the next day, Du Peiwen, the governor of Wenzhou Prefecture, arrived.

The kid now knew that he was not implicated by the Wang family and the Qin family, but that Jia Lian was born out of his hands. This time he came to see him with full sincerity, and gave Jia Lian a copy that was said to be Wang Xizhi's original work "Quick Snow and Sunny Post".

Jia Lian deduced that although this copybook was not an authentic work by You Jun, it was copied by famous masters in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it was very valuable.Because of his refusal, he said: "good things, but you won't get paid for nothing, so take it back quietly."

Du Peiwen immediately knelt down and kowtowed three heads: "Although I don't say thank you for the great kindness, the governor's life-saving grace is always in my heart, and I don't dare to forget it. From now on, Master Futai will be sent, and I will not hesitate to die!"

Jia Lian raised his hand: "Jingzhi please, I am a minister with your uncle. He has helped me a lot in the past, and I should take care of you. Don't say anything about repaying or not. From now on, we will work together to bring the emperor back to you." Just get the job done."

Du Peiwen was grateful, and thanked him again and again after getting up.

Jia Lian took the opportunity to say: "Jingzhi must know that the emperor specially summoned the governor before he left Beijing and told him three things, the first of which was to solve the livelihood problems of the people in Fujian and Zhejiang. Implementing the New Deal is a whip method. Now the city’s board is on the right track, and the people’s food and clothing are basically solved. The remaining problem is to measure the land and implement the New Deal. I don’t know what Jingzhi thinks?"

Du Peiwen was busy expressing his loyalty: "Master Futai, don't worry, I will arrange it when I get back, and I will do it immediately after the autumn harvest."

Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted Du Peiwen: "Okay, as long as the new policy is implemented smoothly, your credit will be indispensable."

At the beginning of noon, the officials of Wenzhou government gathered together.

Three more rose chairs were placed in the lobby of Shuntai County today.The three highest officials, Prince Jia Lian, Teng Yu and Hua Li, were seated in the hall, and Jia Yun, the county magistrate, could only be at the bottom today.

On both sides of the lobby are magistrates and elders of various counties.

First of all, Jia Yun introduced the sweet potato harvest in Shuntai County. Most of the good fields in villages and towns produce [-] to [-] catties per mu.Finally, the three veterans from Pingyi Village, Fengyi Town were introduced to a group of officials.

Jia Yun said: "I would like to report a piece of good news to all the officers and colleagues. There is good news from Pingyi Village, Fengyi Town, this county. Because of their intensive cultivation, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu has reached more than [-] catties. Now there are Let a few veterans share their experience in planting sweet potatoes."

Afterwards, Jia Yun introduced Kong Tian and Peng to the three highest officials in the hall.

He smiled at the three veterans again: "Today, the nine provinces inspected, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the chief envoy of this province personally listened to your farming experience. You are very respectable, so don't embarrass me."

The three veterans kowtow together.

Finally, the Kong brothers first told everyone about their experience in planting sweet potatoes.

When the Kong family brothers told how they used plant ash and humus to increase production, there was a sigh of relief in the hall.Most of these amazing people are the elders of the counties, because most of them use farm manure to cultivate.

In the end, it was the old man of the Tian family's turn to go to court. As a result, when he saw Yu Huali, the chief minister, his whole body trembled. He pointed at Yu Huali, and his face was extremely pale: "You..."

All the officials were astonished, even Yu Huali himself was surprised.

Seeing this, Jia Yun scolded: "Presumptuous. Tian Shangzhi, I told you to come forward and introduce the cultivation of sweet potatoes. Why are you pointing at Mr. Chief Executive? You still don't put your hands down!"

When Old Man Tian heard Jia Yun's voice, he knelt down with a plop, and he kowtowed: "My lord, it's not that the little old man is presumptuous. The little man is full of grievances."

Jia Yun glanced at the chief envoy, and then turned around and asked: "You really have wronged, just sue, I will naturally make the decision for you, if you can't tell, don't blame me for punishing you for the crime you committed! The officer will give you one last chance, if you make an apology to the chief envoy and retire, I will let the past go."

Old man Tian grabbed the land headlong: "The grassroots have a grievance! There is a hatred of destroying the family! I beg you to make the decision!"

Jia Yun bowed to the three officers and saluted: "Three officers, please wait a moment, and I will ask you what happened!"

Unexpectedly, old man Tian knelt down at Wang Ziteng: "Caomin has long heard about the name of the inspector. The people say that you are jealous of evil and judge cases like a god. You only ask whether you are guilty or not, not your identity. Caomin used to dare not." I believe that this time you eradicated the Qin and Wang families, the grass people's confidence increased greatly. However, Xiaomin didn't know where you were going, and he didn't dare to leave his hometown easily. He didn't want to face the enemy today. My life is gone, and the little old man has to seek justice for his parents, brother and sister-in-law."

Wang Ziteng was stunned and said: "You are a citizen of Shuntai County, and you are a citizen of Shuntai County. If you are wronged, you should complain to the county magistrate. Why do you sue? Top ten boards, this official will listen to your complaint?"

Old man Tian kowtowed: "I don't know, I don't know, as long as I can get justice, I won't be afraid even if I am beaten to death. I have also heard that all the people who report the master of the Wowo are not only innocent, but also meritorious. The old man does not seek meritorious service, but only asks the adults to avenge the young old man!"

Wang Ziteng was surprised: "You want to report the owner of the den? Who?"

Old man Tian raised his head and stared at Yu Huali: "Little old man reported Yu Huali, the magistrate of Shuntai County 25 years ago. , to cover up the 150 mu of fertile land owned by Wang Mingwang, the owner of Tongwo Nest. If you don’t believe me, you can check the official fish scale book to see who owned the 20 mu of fertile land under Yuzhu Mountain 150 years ago.”

Yu Huali did not expect that this white-haired, mud-legged man would actually point the finger at him, and immediately became furious: "Don't talk nonsense, I have never seen you before, why did you frame me? Say, who instigated you?" ? Do you know that framing an official of the imperial court will bring disaster to the whole family?"

Old man Tian is also a savage, he raised his head to Yu Huali: "As long as you are a moth who drinks people's blood and eats people's ointment, you will be killed, and you will be smashed to pieces. Thief, you ask who ordered me, tell you , It’s my family of thirty innocent souls! It’s hundreds of innocent souls in Shuntai County!”

Wang Ziteng slapped the hall in shock: "Quiet!"

Yu Huali saw that Wang Ziteng did not rebuke old man Tian, ​​and put on a business-like attitude, and immediately frowned at Wang Ziteng: "I said why your eyelids are twitching today, but it's your partner who wants to punish me. , Sit upright, let your ghosts and ghosts go, just use them, and see if I'm afraid of you!"

Wang Ziteng smiled: "Master Yu, are you too impatient? I haven't started the trial yet, how do you know that you will lose? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart?"

Yu Huali suddenly became angry: "I have a clear conscience, why is there a ghost?"

At this moment, Jia Lian said: "Since you have nothing to be ashamed of, then sit down."

Wang Ziteng patted the gavel again: "Tian Shangzhi, I'm asking you, do you know about false accusations and wrongful sitting?"

Tian Shangzhi replied: "I know, Caomin has ironclad evidence in hand, so I'm not afraid to sit back!"

Wang Ziteng said: "What evidence do you have, report it in court!"

Tian Shangzhi said: "Xiaomin's evidence is Yu Zei's concubine, Mrs. Wang, and her five-year-old grandson!"

Only then did Yu Huali start to panic: "You are talking nonsense, my Mrs. Ru is clearly surnamed Lu!"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "Yes, his wife's surname is Lu, everyone knows it? How do you say her surname is Wang?"

Tian Shangzhi sneered: "The daughter of the Wang family has been abroad, and she is called Louise. In fact, her surname is Wang, and she is the concubine daughter of the Wang family who claimed to have died of a sudden illness 25 years ago. Xiaomin also knows that this wife of the side house died in May. When he wanted to capture the remnants of the Wang family, he paid for his life and replaced the five-year-old grandson of the Wang family with the bought child. Now this son is being raised under the Wang family. The adults only need to send troops to arrest the Wang family. You will know the clue!"
