The place of exile became lively, although everyone was still working from sunrise to sunset, their actions were two points more fierce, three points less stagnant, their faces were two points more hopeful, and three points less numb.

Especially the men and women who are still in the youth and teenagers, they are full of energy, fantasizing that even in the place of exile, they can have enough food, clothing, warmth and drink, and they don't have to suffer from exile anymore.

Especially women, Zhang Damei, one of the principals of the cloth shop, is a woman, and weaving needs women, which makes them gradually valued by the family, at least they will not be abandoned by the family at any time.

Even Qin Wenyin who was in the inner house felt this change. Seeing the girls with hopeful smiles on their faces, Qin Wenyin felt agitated in her heart, and said nostalgicly: "I remember that Mr. Zhao gave us a homework when we were in Jinxiu. Let's explore the "formation process of cloth". Sisters Tao and Rong and I started from the theory of silkworm rearing in the snail ancestors to today's prosperity of silk and satin fabrics. We consciously debated in detail and comprehensively, but Mr. Zhao put our homework Call back and ask if we know how to raise silkworms, how to plant hemp, how to stretch cotton, how to color cloth, and how to weave patterns on it."

"Mr. Zhao said, we don't need to know it, but we have to understand it, otherwise this homework will be for nothing," Qin Wenyin said sadly, "Sister Tao and sister Rong and I searched through the books at home, and then went to the weaving workshop in the capital. , visited and studied in the dyeing workshop and embroidery workshop, and consulted many farmers. It took eight months to complete this assignment. Mr. Zhao was very satisfied after reading it, and directly rated us as A. In the past, I just thought that this assignment made us grow I learned a lot, and I didn’t expect to be able to use it one day.”

Li Baolu asked enthusiastically, "How much does that mother remember?"

Qin Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled, "It's all in my mind, but it's just talking on paper."

"That's enough. What some people need is a word of advice." Li Baolu encouraged her, "There are quite a few women in the village who know how to weave. Why don't you keep in touch with them and teach them? Maybe we can not only weave Good linen, how can we weave patterned cloth?”

Seeing that her sister-in-law was getting better every day, He Zipei also encouraged her to walk more, and said softly: "Bao Lu is right, if we can make fabrics that belong to the exile area, then the people in this area will not have to worry about their jobs." .This is the life of the living."

"Then, let me try?" Qin Wenyin only knows theoretical knowledge, but she doesn't have enough confidence.

Li Baolu was very happy. Sports and socializing can make people feel happy and open-minded. Her mother-in-law is good at everything, but she is a little more sad, and she always blames her little niece's death on her, otherwise she would not be born until she arrived in Qiongzhou Gu Jingyun would not blame himself for this.

After all, Gu Jingyun was also influenced by Qin Wenyin.

Li Baolu went home and asked Gu Jingyun for credit, "How about it, am I good?"

Gu Jingyun nodded indiscriminately, "Excellent." He closed the letter in his hand and passed it to Li Baolu, saying, "Zhang Yiyan asked someone to send it back. Tan Qian was arrested and imprisoned by the Guangdong police. Now Qiongzhou is presided over by the county lieutenant and the head secretary. We will wait for the new county magistrate to come to Qiongzhou to hand over the affairs."

"So fast?" Li Baolu was surprised. Didn't the Guangdong patrol have only been here for three days?

"It was very soon," Gu Jingyun stroked the teacup and said meaningfully: "It's also Tan Qian's bad luck. It is said that the Guangdong inspector lived in his house and couldn't sleep at night. He went for a walk in the garden, but encountered an assassin. Wake up, the officers and soldiers brought by the Guangdong patrol accidentally found an entire cellar of gold, silver and jewelry from the garden when they searched the assassins, and there were several boxes of whole ingots of official silver that hadn't had time to melt off the imprint."

Li Baolu couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, "This inspector must be short-tempered." The action was too fast.

"However, I'm curious that the inspector has only been here for two days, how did he confirm that the county magistrate hid the gold and silver in the back garden?"

Gu Jingyun has been operating in Qiongzhou for many years, so he doesn't even know about such secrets.

He looked at the tea in his hand thoughtfully, this new patrolman is very capable, but the person behind him is quite powerful, but he doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend.

He put the teacup on the table with a "click" and said, "I just hope our people can react more quickly."

Gu Jingyun had the contacts of the Qin family in his hands. In order to replace Tan Qian and arrange for his own people in Qiongzhou without being suspected by the emperor, Gu Jingyun spent all his time and used his contacts for the first time.

Gu Jingyun waited for the dust to settle in Qiongzhou, while Li An, the grandson who was far away in the capital, became uneasy.

The impeachment memorial of the Guangdong patrol was quickly sent to the capital. In a small county like Qiongzhou, the matter did not need to be brought up in front of the emperor, but Tan Qian was too greedy and cool, and he could already be regarded as a typical example.

Not to mention the money that was confiscated from his mansion, but only the new donations collected by the Guangdong inspectorate over the years, and he even has to pay a tax of one yuan every year on cow dung, because the cow dung hinders the appearance of the county. .

This directly caused the number of farmers raising cattle in Qiongzhou Prefecture to decrease every year.

Guangdong Patrol:...

Originally wanted to deal with him quietly, but there was no way, the crime Tan Qian committed was too typical, and he also found out that mobs had secretly gathered in Qiongzhou. Although no evidence was found, just guessing was enough to scare him. I was in a cold sweat.

Once the mob riots, not only Tan Qian, but all the officials in Guangdong will suffer, and the people in Qiongzhou will suffer the most.

No matter what the reason is, the imperial court will not recruit peace if it can be suppressed, so Qiongzhou may fall into war, and it is ordinary people who are miserable?

Therefore, the Guangdong patrol agency did not dare to hide anything. It not only reported the facts found, but also wrote its own guesses into the booklet.

Just relying on the sentence of "suspected mobs gathered to cause chaos to oppose Tan Qian", the cabinet did not dare to press the paper and report it directly to the old emperor.

When the old emperor saw it, he was so angry that he broke his papers. He first asked the Guangzhou magistrate how he managed his subordinates, and then he greeted the Guangdong and Guangxi supervisors, asking him if he was working for nothing?

Then he yelled at Yushitai, you stared at my harem all day long, where did you monitor the officials outside?

Then he ordered the Guangdong patrol to investigate strictly, and make sure to find out the matter. The people who should be appeased, the people who should be appeased, the people who should be appalled, and the people in Qiongzhou will be exempted from taxes for three years with a big wave of their hands. Taxes also fell back.

For the emperor, Qiongzhou's taxes are dispensable, because he has never seen Qiongzhou pay all taxes in any year.

He thought that the people in Qiongzhou were too poor, but it turned out that all of them went into the pockets of the subordinates. He stared at the ministers below with cold eyes. He didn't mind the greed of the ministers, but if they were too greedy, people would not like them.

He said to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "Qiongzhou is located in an extremely difficult place, and it is also a place of exile. The situation is complicated. You must quickly select a county magistrate and send it to Qiongzhou. You must control the situation. Since the mob is gathering, it can be seen It has not been done yet, and the disaster must be eliminated before then."

So the sooner people start, the better.

The emperor frowned and said: "This person must not be as greedy and shameless as Tan Qian, and needs to rush to Qiongzhou as soon as possible. I will give you a... two days, and send him out as soon as possible."

This is embarrassing to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it is not the year of the imperial examination. Where can he find someone for a while?

In the file, there are many demoted officials waiting to be dispatched, Jinshi and Juren, but he doesn't know them well, how can he confirm that the other party is capable of handling Qiongzhou affairs in such a short period of time.

What's more, Qiongzhou is poor, and most people are not willing to go, and now there are disadvantages such as the possibility of military disasters, unless they are impatient, no one will take this job.

When the time comes, the person sent out pretends to be sick or procrastinates, is he, the direct appointee, to blame, or is he to blame?

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned and went out of the palace. Seeing that the superior was so distressed, the subordinate officials stepped forward to inquire.

Knowing the difficulty of the boss, everyone offered advice one after another, and whoever said in the chatter, "There is someone here for the next official." The person continued without waiting for the boss to look over: "The former Yangzhou Guoxian County Wei Qianzhong, he was transferred to a post in the capital for exposing the county magistrate Wu Zhiqiang's occupation of civilian land. Because of the lack of vacancies in the past two years, he has not been released from the official position. You might as well ask his opinion, maybe he is willing to go to Qiongzhou. , and the promotion of the county magistrate is also a commendation for him."

Everyone couldn't help sneering in their hearts when they heard the words.

They didn't know who Qian Zhong was, but they recognized Wu Zhi. He was the brother-in-law of King Rong and Concubine Rong's cousin.

The county lieutenant first went to the Hangzhou mansion to write a letter, and the magistrate turned around and passed the supervisor and went directly to the capital. Not only did he report the matter to Dali Temple, but he also reported the matter to Yushitai, so that the Wu family and King Rong had to deal with Wu Zhi.

The Wu family and King Rong naturally couldn't let it go after suffering such a big loss. Unexpectedly, Qian Zhong is still alive, but he has some skills.

But he fled south for a bit, going to Qiongzhou is too dangerous, pitiful, pitiful.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials didn't care about Qian Zhong's life or death. After reading his resume and confirming that the other party was honest and upright, he was six points satisfied, and seeing that he was only thirty-five was ten points satisfied.

He was young and vigorous, and traveling was not a problem. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials waved his hand, "That's all for him, come and call Qian Zhong, and I will personally order him."

The officials did not dare to neglect the order of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so they galloped towards the address left by Qian Zhong on horseback.

At this time, Li An ordered people to move this position.

In order not to make the emperor and the fourth prince suspicious, he didn't dare to let people from the prince's family come forward, so he could only find some people with connections.

It was the next morning when his people finally opened up the relationship, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was going to the court early, so the person who kidnapped Shibadaowan did not seek advice from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials early in the morning, but followed him to the court.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the court meeting was held, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the position of county magistrate of Qiongzhou has been replaced, and he can leave immediately."

Li An was surprised, and the emperor was also surprised, "So fast?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was proud, "My Majesty, this person has been waiting for a vacancy in Beijing. Because of his outstanding performance in office, I fell in love with him at a glance."

His Majesty the Emperor was curious and couldn't help asking.

Li An's heart was very cold, and he tried his best to put the dark chess in his hand in the position of Guangdong police officer, didn't he just want to get rid of Tan Qian and replace him with his own person?

In this way, he can not only take care of the Qin family, but also communicate with Gu Jingyun conveniently.

Their father and son have been in business for many years, and they have never dared to send people to Qiongzhou because they are afraid that the emperor will find out and think too much. Unexpectedly, after working so hard for so long, it was all in vain.

It's just that I don't know who this Qian Zhong is, or if he is really a passer-by, but it's just a little unlucky to be involved in this matter.

Li An secretly thought, wondering if this person can be bought.
