There is a large canal through the county town from Zhuque Street to the east of Rang County and Dengzhou Governor’s Mansion. However, the large canal is not big, just called it locally. It can probably be two grain ships in parallel, mainly to be able to concentrate in the county town of Rang County after collecting grain in the rural areas of Rang County.

Relying on the Dacao Canal, there are also several spontaneous restaurants. After all, the county is divided into two cities, east and west, and most of the restaurants are in the East City.

At this moment, officials from Huyang County, Zaoyang County and Gucheng County are gathering here, waiting for the meeting of Chen Junbin, the governor of Dengzhou.

These three counties belong to Tangzhou, Suizhou and Xiangzhou, but Dengzhou came, which is also strange.

"Brother Xiang Chengjingru is really a coincidence."

Holding a glass of wine and changing into a long robe in autumn, Wen Shi took a sip of warm wine, her tone was filled with uncontrollable envy.

"I have been wasting my life in Gucheng County for almost ten years. During the 20th year of Zhenguan, I asked Wuhan farmers to come and help grow tea. There are about 13,400 acres of forests along the Nanhe River, which are useless barren mountains and forests. Is this a good thing to open up to grow tea?!"

The middle-aged man with a northwestern accent of Xiangxi glanced at the two friends who were sitting down to drink, and pointed at the table with his fingers, "What do you think? The 9,000 acres of land were taken away by the people of Xiangyang, and 3,500 acres were taken away by the people of Jiangling, and there were still a few hundred acres left. It was the real tea land in Gucheng County that could be decided."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man said again: "It would be fine if it's a thousand and hundreds of acres, but you also know that reclaiming wasteland is a matter of years. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Xiangzhou actually said he wanted tea. The word "single tea" was created by Wuhan. Is this tax on birds?"

I was extremely excited in my words, and finally calmed down my mood, but I didn't have the heart to continue talking. I picked up a chopstick of the dishes on the table, ate several bites, and then I let out a glass of wine. I let out a long breath, and then I calmed down.

During the Zhenguan Dynasty, the word "tea" did not exist yet, and it was mostly used to use "tea". As for making tea, there was no such thing as "tea". They were all about tea and cooking tea.

It was not until Zhang De went south and gained a foothold that this business gradually became popular.

When I was in Jiangyin, although I had already started to stir-fry tea, the amount was very small and I had no ability to build a tea garden.

When Lao Zhang went to Hebei, the tea sold was mainly fermented and suppressed residue. It was a high-priced and poor quality product, but the net profit was extremely generous.

For a time, making tea was a privilege of the nobles of the palace because the yield was insufficient.

The word "tea" is called "open" in full, and it will take Zhang De to cut off all the powerful people in Mianzhou.

"My performance exam is completely ruined. So I thought it would be good to get more salary. Now this little money...hey."

After saying that, the middle-aged man from Gucheng sipped another sip of wine.

The man wearing a long cotton robe on his right side also looked serious. He sighed first, picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up the food, but he hung in the air: "Our three counties are considered seventh rank, and they can get fifty stones of food a month. It is of course good to compare with Wu Dechao, but now let alone compare with Wuhan, just say that this is Jingxiang local..."

"I have a brother-in-law who observes that the envoy's mansion is a clerk in Jianghan."

"Classification?"

"In the past, he was a censorate in Chang'an, and he was a third-class official. Now he is also a foreign official, but last year he said that he might have to be transferred to an official, and he should be from the ninth rank... Maybe."

"From the ninth grade..."

"Don't underestimate the ninth grade, that's the ninth grade from Wuhan."

The literati hurriedly said, "Don't say that he hasn't become an official yet, now, there are three stakes per month, and the silver dollars he gives is not copper coins. In addition to miscellaneous posts, there are still half stakes per month. With one hundred and fifty acres of land, this field is different from our wealth field. You can not grow grain. There are several manors, tea trees, fruit trees and so on in Wuhan. There are 150 acres of land, and everything is better than growing grain. After deducting the management fees for the agricultural officials and the handling fee, you can get sixty or seventy acres of traffic a year."

"really?"

"Really? A foreign official?"

"Really, can I drink two more sips of wine by lying to you two?"

Wen's face frowned, "Apart from that, children should learn this kind of thing, so there is no need to say more."

"There is a girls' school in Wuhan."

"The women's school was earlier than the capital. Her Majesty's style of the female saint was learned from Hanyang Women's School."

"And there is a female official."

"Yes, there is also a female official."

When talking about the female official, the scholar who was in Wuhan said: "My brother-in-law's eldest daughter is twenty-four years old this year and she entered school at the age of fourteen. She was the predecessor of the Hanyang Women's School. She was the first group of female students to be recruited. She is now the director of the Sang Ye Cang, and the Jianghan Observation Office specially hired the first class to be transferred to an official this year."

"Can there be a marriage?"

"There are four children."

The young man just came to ask the question, and he was called back by the answer.

"Wouldn't that be the annual salary higher than that of her?"

"Wuhan has women's allowances, and the majority of them are two, one is childbirth subsidy, and the other is childbirth reward. The childbirth subsidy is a reward for getting one's own childbirth. The childbirth subsidy is a reward for the growth of newborns in the yamen in charge."

"Is this still in charge of sexual intercourse among the yamen?"

"In order to compete for the first place in Banchuan County, each Cao can still have a child as long as he gets married. Who wouldn't have a child with three or five? If you have a child, the chief of each Cao will get more. If you don't have a child... If you don't have a child, do you look down on the chief of each Cao?"

"Too……"

After hearing this strange legend, the other two nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged old man was curious: "How much does it cost to have one?"

"It's hard to say, but there are definitely a lot. You'll still have to study for your children. Before the age of thirteen, you will definitely not have to worry about your family in Hanyang City. Especially the official family and the kindergarten in Wuhan are awesome."

"Yes, after all, it was founded by His Highness Princess Changle. Wuhan is mostly foreign officials, so I have been experiencing many things inside and outside."

"Just say that reading and reading is aware of words. If it were the past, I would have to hire a Western Conference. How could I use so much money? Even if I give Yi Guan a month, I would have to twelve Guan a year. In addition, the meat, wine and wine during festivals, and the current pen, ink, paper and ink, I don't even think about it. It's hard to raise a little beast who reads and reads and reads. It's good enough. Not to mention saving money, I definitely don't have to worry about reading and reading and reading."

The gap between poor families and high schools is just about education. High schools can run their own schools, and poor families can only provide one or two seeds of full-time study, and they also have to visit famous teachers to make a living by borrowing the reputation of teachers.

This is the benefit of "famous scholars", but "famous scholars" have no connection with aristocratic families. "famous scholars" are likely to be old and poor families who have been struggling for forty or fifty or sixty years.

"To be honest, I really want Zhang Caozhi to take care of Xiangzhou. Anyway, I have no idea. If I get more money, it is better to send two grandchildren to study in Wuhan. The current situation is nothing. Not to mention the amount of Wuhan officials, I will have more than 300 acres of land. If I don't flatter the people of Xiangzhou, I won't let me plant it well."

In fact, in the early Zhenguan Dynasty, there was no shortage of county magistrates who personally went to the fields, especially some county magistrates. The whole family of county magistrates went to farm more than 300 acres of land distributed by the court, which was not unfair.

This situation only improved after eight years of Zhenguan.

But while "the low grain hurts the farmers", any "Bailihou" with a little conscience is also distraught by the price of grain.

Even if a county magistrate gets five thousand kilograms of grain every month, it is useless and cannot be sold at all. At the worst time, the monthly grain wages paid are converted into one thousand and hundreds of copper coins. This is a waste of money, especially since Xiangzhou is relatively close to Wuhan, the "inflation" in some areas also affects their Xiangzhou.

This has led to the general life getting better and better, but the court's salary has not changed, which is simply terrible.

If I hadn't posted the game every month, I would have never posted it.

But compared with Wuhan, there is no need to compare in heaven and earth.

Wuhan’s allowances are floating, not just fixed and so much money is given. While “inflation”, the allowances are equal to “floating wages”, and the rise in the water will make it less painful.

After spending three or five years in Wuhan, I was transferred to other places to watch. As long as I didn’t spend all day long, the savings I saved would be enough for a Wuhan official to spend ten or eight years outside.

Wuhan officials receive their salary every month. The salary slip is a local feature, and the total and classification are clear and clear. Otherwise, even if it is Xiongzhou's upper limit, the county magistrate's Lu Mi may be tricked by the clerk. If the county magistrate disobedient, he will be punished by the local tyrants.

Therefore, those tough county magistrates would take their whole family to farm, and would rather farm than give in and bow their heads.

One of the more famous ones is Li Fengjie's old man Li Daliang. In his early years, he comforted the refugees and criticized the barbarians and powerful men. This is how he went along.

However, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were alternating, and Li Daliang was not lucky, so there were basically no one who promoted him.

Fortunately, his son is very powerful, and Li Daliang has survived it.

But most of the world, like Li Daliang, have just died and are inseparable from the crowd. It is the norm for society to follow the local snake and exploit the middle and lower classes.

Officials from the three counties mentioned Wuhan officials, and they all looked envious and jealous. In addition to truly envying welfare benefits, they also envy the official environment that can show their ambitions without any scruples.

Even Wuhan also has officials who make money and make money, but the normal social situation is to be bad. Compared with the Jingxiang official ecology, Wuhan is simply a clear stream among the clear stream.

The officials of the three counties, who had a little thought, felt that they were trapped in the quagmire and were stuck in the local aristocratic races.

The authority of the imperial court can only be used when protecting itself.

Rather than saying that it is a "herder of the emperor" it is better to say that it is sharing the spoils with the old clan.

"You guys, the carriage and horse of Chen have turned around, let's go there."

Soon, someone came outside and shouted at the officials of the three counties.

"Walk."

"Go for a walk."

"Walk!"

The three of them took their last sip of wine, threw a handful of copper coins on the table, got up and left the private room, and walked outside.
Chapter completed!
