Chapter 492 ambition(1/2)
Ji Ping is worthy of being a master of scheming people's hearts.
It can be said that he has seen a part of the future.
He was promoted to county magistrate because he was indeed a real skill.
It’s just that the foundation is poor, and I need to make up for it.
Ji Xiaosi was convinced.
However, when he talks about studying, he gets overwhelmed.
His resistance was very weak.
In the blink of an eye, he was suppressed by Ji Ping.
The next morning, he took the money and left Pingyang County as he ordered to recruit scholars for his elder brother Jiping.
On the way, I have to insist on reading and literacy every day.
This is the mission.
When he returns to Pingyang County, his elder brother Ji Ping will examine his homework.
Very stressful!
Is this a person doing things?
I was a brother, why did you have to fight each other?
Ji Xiaosi cried and embarked on the road of running errands and passing messages. It was much harder than being the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Clothing!
I regret it!
His intuition is accurate.
Sure enough, I jumped from a small pit into a big pit.
...
The lord of Zhuyang County, Xiao, received the imperial decree from the court and sent someone to invite Yan Yunge.
"The imperial edict has arrived! The emperor agreed to change the fief from Zhuyang to Pingyang, and from now on, I will be Princess Pingyang. Moreover, the emperor also agreed to let you inherit the Princess' Mansion. After this palace a hundred years, you will be the master of the Princess' Mansion. However, the emperor attached a condition to one person."
Yan Yunge first congratulated his mother Xiao, which was very happy and would be Princess Pingyang from now on.
As long as the embankment is built and floods are managed, Pingyang County is much richer than that of building Yang.
Pingyang County, half plains, half mountains, rivers and hills.
The land is fertile and the climate is humid and warm.
A good place!
Then she asked, "What conditions did the emperor have?"
Xiao smiled, "The imperial edict did not say anything, and the conditions were written in the letter. This was the letter sent with the imperial edict. Shi Wen wrote it himself. I haven't read it yet, so I'll wait for you to come."
Yan Yunge decisively opened the letter, read the content above, and smiled, "Three years later, the emperor asked Pingyang County to increase taxes by 30% every year. It seems that the court is crazy about poverty. Pingyang County is still poor and is already targeting the taxes in three years."
When Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The court has always been very poor! If you hadn't given them the idea of withdrawing military expenses, I'm afraid the court would not have enough money to support the Jianzhou Palace, let alone gather people's hearts and fight back to the capital."
This matter is sad and embarrassing when mentioned.
Such a huge dynasty is actually poor haha.
Who can believe it if you say it?
Fortunately, Yan Yunge gave Shi Wen an idea to pay military expenses, which solved the urgent problem.
Xiao asked her, "What do you think about the increase of 30% of the tax? Do you want to agree?"
Yan Yunge smiled and nodded, "Agree! What I want is legitimate. It is okay to increase the tax by 30% in three years, just take it as the price of legitimate. My mother can reply to Shi Wen directly and ask him to give me fifty blank documents stamped with seals."
Xiao was stunned, "Fifty blank documents? Can Shi Wen agree?"
"He will definitely agree! When I develop here, I can at least set an example for him. Pingyang County is in chaos. The yamen needs a large number of personnel, and the army also needs to appoint a group of military generals. Give me a batch of blank documents so as not to ask the court every time."
For some official positions, the county magistrate Xiao Yi can directly issue official documents to appoint official documents, such as county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, etc. in five counties under their jurisdiction...
However, some official positions need to be reported to the court and obtaining the appointment documents from the court is considered legal.
Blank documents are for this purpose.
She, Yan Yunge, will definitely not defend a Pingyang County.
When she manages Pingyang County, she will start to erode the plans of surrounding counties.
By then, blank official documents will play a decisive role.
She has great ambitions and has always been like this!
In the past, she was young and had no matching identity, so she could only make small fuss in Fugui Villa.
Do some money-making business, and you must also hide it from the aristocratic families to avoid conflicts with the aristocratic families.
Because at that time, her small body could not withstand the suppression of the aristocratic families.
Now, it's different!
Her ambition finally had a matching identity, and she could let go and do something big.
No need to be trembling, be careful, afraid of this and that.
Now, on this acre of three-point land in Pingyang County, she can do whatever she wants.
Any aristocratic family must consider it before they want to suppress her.
The heir to the Princess's Mansion, the wife of the county magistrate of Pingyang County, the wife of the general of the Northern Army...
These three identities, plus thousands of private soldiers in the group, were enough to make her walk sideways.
Xiao thought about it and said, "Then let me reply to Shi Wen as you said. I don't know what the emperor is doing now. I have to have more soldiers to send the letters. I have to build a few more warehouses on the road to facilitate the delivery of letters. Pingyang County is too far from Shanggu County. I will communicate with your father in the future. I don't know how long it will take for the letters to come to him."
Yan Yunge smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother, I have arranged to recruit craftsmen and personnel from all over the country, build roads and bridges, and widen the road surface. Now is the season when the weather is not connected, and many people have no food.
Working here, two meals a day, one penny of wages, and one payment a day, there must be many people applying for it. As long as there is enough population, whether it is the road to various places or cities, it will soon be changed."
"Is the money enough?"
I heard that I had such a large project volume and recruited so many people, and the food consumed every day was astronomical.
What Xiao was most worried about was insufficient money and food, and he spent all his money before the autumn harvest was over. It was difficult to sustain the second half of the year.
If Yun Ge doesn't have enough money and food, she will take out her private money to support her daughter's plan.
Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Mother, since I dare to set up such a big stall, I must have made enough preparations. I have enough money and food, and several workshops will resume work within half a month. This time, my daughter not only wants to sell cloth and tea, but also ironware..."
She has to make money all the money-making businesses.
Salt, iron, paper...
She is very interested in any business that is monopolized by the aristocratic family.
Xiao had to remind her, "You have to be careful and do everything step by step. You must remember that you won't become fat in one bite. Be slower, be more steady, and don't worry. You can't make money, the key is to make steady progress."
"Daughter knows! Mother, don't worry, I have arranged for people to gather big merchants from all over the world to discuss the great cause of making money!"
...
Xiao Yi is very busy.
He just took office and was very confused and asked him to make a decision.
Fortunately, the county magistrate Mr. Ji helped him handle official duties, so he could free up his hands and plan to lead troops to eliminate the bandits along the way.
As farewell is imminent, he seizes the time to keep warm with Yan Yunge.
After washing up, the couple changed into comfortable cotton home clothes.
Yan Yunge took out a map from the drawer of the book case and handed it to him, "This is a map of Pingyang County. Mountains, rivers, rivers, villages, and villages, and every road can be found on it. It will be useful if you bring it with you."
Xiao Yi held the map, staring blankly, as if he was already stupid.
In his eyes, there was surprise, ecstasy, and doubt...
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Yan Yunge in shock, "Where did this come from? There is such a clear map in the world? This is a river, this is a shortcut in the mountains... Why is it so clear? Where did you find the gods?"
Yan Yunge smiled at him, "The god in your mouth is far away in the sky and near in front of you!"
"ah……"
As calm as Xiao Yi, he made a short cry.
He couldn't believe it, and he took it for granted.
Yun Ge always brings surprises to people, and anything can happen to her, and it is not surprising that it is not surprising.
But, but...
He still couldn't help asking, "It was really what you painted? How many skills do you have, I don't know?"
Yan Yunge pinched his cheek, then picked up the pen, and outlined the map of Pingyang County and County Government.
To be continued...
