Chen Hongshou was locked in the prison car outside the porch. The thick stainless steel fence stopped people from wanting to get out. In fact, this cage was used by a circus troupe to hold bear traps. I don't know where the bastard Nie Dahai got it.

In the cold wind, Chen Hongshou was wrapped in a thick military coat, and his legs were covered with a tattered blanket that exuded a foul smell.

Wu Changshi, Ma Shiqi and Li Xiao walked past the prison car while exchanging greetings, turning a blind eye to Chen Hongshou who had snot inside. As for Chen Hongshou's calls and wails, they regarded them as singing.

"Please rest assured, Governor, the affairs of the students in Shandong will be taken care of by the old man. As long as this old man is still alive, let's see which bastard dares to make a mistake." Ma Shiqi burst out with a domineering attitude, unlike the top education leader of a province.

, more like a gangster brother.

"Don't worry about the taxes in Shandong. From now on, if you point to the east, I, Wu Changshi, will never look westward. It is truly a blessing to serve as an official under the governor in my lifetime." Wu Changshi's tongue was a little curled, Wuliangye

It's a good thing. But after drinking it on an empty stomach, my stomach is on fire.

"That's it! From now on, Shandong government affairs, Chief Executive Sun Lao will have to rely on these two adults." Li Xiao smiled and handed over his hand.

"Definitely! Definitely!" Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi held their hands over each other again and again before exiting the gate of the governor's office. Li Xiao turned around and looked at Chen Hongshou inside the cage, as if he was looking at a piece of shit.

A good man never suffers immediate losses! This is an ancient saying with great truth.

Facts have proved that the officials on the ground in Shandong are all good men. As Wu Changshi and Ma Shiqi left the governor's office, a group of fifth- and sixth-rank petty officials came to visit and vowed in front of Sun Chengzong that they would do their jobs well in the future and never let the leaders

Such a dilemma. The degree of humiliation shocked Sun Chengzong, who had experienced officialdom for a long time.

The educational significance of the public trial meeting is huge and the effect is obvious. Those who want to continue to be officials are naturally greeted by good wine and good food. Those who want to imitate Chen Hongshou are locked in a cage like a dog, and Li Xiao will never stop him.

.It’s just that three days have passed, and no official wants to be with Chen Hongshou.

Mrs. Cao Wang put a cup of tea into Tokugawa Chiki's hand, and then Tokugawa Chiki put it on the table. She looked very nervous, clenching the fingers of her right hand with her left hand and refusing to let go. If she let go,

She really didn't know where to put her hands.

"Are you getting used to living in the mansion?" Li Xiao asked Cao Wang while reading a book.

"I lost all my family property in the lawsuit, and my health was broken after I was imprisoned. My husband's family didn't want me. If there is no adult to take care of me, the slave has no choice but to jump into the river." When Mrs. Cao Wang returned home, she was kicked out by her husband's family.

Any woman who says she was raped in front of tens of thousands of people will end up like this. For the sake of her own face, her husband’s family will not let Cao Wang’s family in even if they are beaten to death.

Ever since Zhu Xi led Confucianism to the path of preserving natural principles and destroying human desires, the chastity of women will be particularly valued. Even if Li Xiao is the governor of a province, he cannot use strong orders to make the Cao family accept King Cao

Shi.

Even if Li Xiao comes by force, Cao Wang's life in the Cao family will not be easy.

Li Xiao could only take Ms. Cao Wang, who was seeking death, to her home to see what she could do! Ms. Cao Wang was very good at getting things done, and she was once a housekeeper. Within two days of arriving at the governor's Yamen, she became a Tokugawa

An important minion of Chiki. He follows Chiki Tokugawa all day long and manages the back house of the governor's Yamen with all his might.

Not to mention, she is the head of a wealthy family. In just a few days, she has sorted out many of the shortcomings of the back house. Not only has her expenses been reduced a lot, but the quality of her food has also been improved, and she has been well received by everyone.

"Just stay at home if you want. Our family doesn't want to sell people into slavery. Work hard. If you want to get married in the future, just say so. It won't be embarrassing!" Basically, such a woman will not be married by a serious man.

.Li Xiao’s words are just a kind of comfort.

"No! I will obey your orders." Mrs. Cao Wang also knew what Li Xiao meant, so she saluted without saying anything.

Now that Shandong officials are fully cooperating, Li Xiao will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. Potatoes and corn from Yizhou are brought to Jinan one by one. Li Xiao orders the officials of Jinan Prefecture that this year the officials of Jinan

Every field must be planted with these two crops.

If in the past, this kind of food that had never been seen before had to be planted on a large area in the fields, officials would not do it even if they were killed. Although this would not reduce their salaries, if there was really a civil uprising, they would still eat it.

No need to walk around.

Although there is a preferential policy of halving the rent of tenants, farmers are still full of fear of these two new gadgets. If nothing can be grown in the fields, the whole family will starve to death. But now the Jinan government official has a puddle of shit in his crotch

They ignored the wailing cries of the farmers and forced them to plant corn and potatoes with whips.

At this time, the faces of the landowners in the private fields were filled with joy. Since the official fields were no longer growing grain, the grain in the autumn would definitely be sold at a high price. Maybe in the fall, there would be one or two more tenant farmers in the family.

.I have made up my mind that I will not accept anyone who is not in good health. Only a good youngster who is as strong as a calf can come to the house to make a living. Those who have a frivolous heart are already secretly trying to find out whose girl is pretty.

, you can start as soon as possible in autumn.

Those tenants who worked in the landlord's house also looked at these peasant brothers with pity. Food is the life of farmers. Whether they can survive depends on the food dug out of the land. The officials are trying to cut off people's livelihood! Many tenants

I am deeply grateful for the foresight of selling myself to the landlord's family. The second son of the family has long been optimistic about the girl from the village in front of him. In the autumn, he will tighten his belt to see if he can get his daughter-in-law back.

Each had their own plans, and the landlords all praised Li Xiao. For a time, no one in Jinan Mansion spoke ill of the governor. In the eyes of the landlords, the officials who could make their families rich by making food prices soar were all

A good official needs to praise his virtues and praise his virtues greatly.

Amid the praises of officials and landlords and the lamentations of farmers, potatoes and corn were planted in the fields. As for whether there would be a harvest, no one had any hope. Throughout Jinan Prefecture, all the farmers cultivating official land had sad faces. They were smart.

Some people plant some wheat or rice in front of and behind their houses. Although the land is not very big, they cannot harvest much. But it is still a mouthful of food. Maybe with this food, the whole family will not starve to death.

Li Xiao wore a felt hat commonly worn by farmers and a coat commonly worn by salesmen, walking on the country road. There was no way, his hair was too short and attracted attention, so he had to wear a hat to cover it. Except for monks these days

, there are also those who are born without long hair and are not bald at all. Even ordinary farmers do not shave their heads at will. Everyone has long hair, and many people in the fields cannot tell the difference between men and women just by looking at their backs.

It had just rained, and the spring rain was thin and continuous. There was a hint of sweetness from the fields in the humid air. Inhaling it directly went into the lungs, not to mention how comfortable it was.

"Old man! I'm begging for a drink of water." There was a farmer on the field who had just finished sowing a ridge of land and was resting on the field. Li Xiao walked up to the old man and asked for a drink of water to do his homework.

"Drink! Does your accent sound like you're from Liaodong?" The old man was very kind and pointed at the earthen pots and coarse porcelain bowls on the ground to signal Li Xiao to do it himself.

"Well! I escaped from Liaodong, so I took advantage of the spring to bring my two brothers to sell some goods." Li Xiao motioned to Roast Chicken and Shunzi to put down their burdens, and he sat down next to the old man, picked up a large porcelain bowl, and poured a bowl.

Drink the water.

"Hey...! Life in the countryside is hard. Here comes a 250-year-old governor. I am forced to grow potatoes and corns. I have been managing the land all my life. I have never heard of these two things. Hey...! What if?

If nothing grows in the autumn, I'm afraid our family will have to suffer from the northwest wind." The old man looked at the yellow land, and his face did not have the same look of anticipation as when spring sowing in previous years.

"Old man, are you really talking about corn and potatoes?" Li Xiao put the bowl on the jar and asked slightly surprised.

"What! You've seen it before. Could it be that you have one in Liaodong?" The old man looked at Li Xiao strangely.

"Old man! These corns and potatoes are good things. In Liaodong, the yield of potatoes can reach one thousand kilograms per mu. Although corn is not as powerful as potatoes, it is no problem to produce four to five hundred kilograms per acre. You

I know why it’s so cold in Liaodong, but my life is pretty good, it’s because of these two things.”

"You're such a silly young man. I've been farming all my life, but I've never heard that one acre of land can grow a thousand kilograms of things."

"You don't believe it? I'll make a bet with you. My name is Shunzi and I live in Lixia Xiejie, Jinan Prefecture. If we don't bet too much, we'll just bet a hundred catties of potatoes. If I lose, I'll give you a tael of silver.

If you lose, just give me a hundred catties of potatoes." Li Xiao seemed to be greatly insulted and immediately wanted to make a bet with the old man.

"I, Zhang Erniu, am not scared, but how do I know if you reported a false address?"

"It's easy to say, these two feet of flower cloth will be used as mortgage." Li Xiao took out two feet of flower cloth from the burden and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

"Okay, then, my old man...! My old man...!" The old man walked around and found nothing but a hoe. He had no choice but to push the water jar and the large porcelain bowl.

"It's done! You've got the roasted chicken. In the last autumn, I'll trade this with the old man for a hundred pounds of potatoes. We can chew grain in the winter!" Li Xiao looked very happy, stood up and left with the jar in his arms.

.

"I don't know whose son you are, you are so stupid. Do you think this potato can really weigh a thousand kilograms per acre? Let alone a thousand kilograms, even if it weighs five hundred kilograms, the old man will lose to you." Look.
