In the setting sun, Fan Yanzhong returned happily with a cane in his hand, Jiang Anyi greeted him in front of the academy, and saw Mr. humming a small tune, and his white hair reflected the red glow, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Sir, don't come unharmed." Jiang Anyi bowed to the ground, he hadn't seen it for a few years, his teacher was in good spirits, and his body was better than before, which really made him feel happy.

Fan Yanzhong stopped and looked at his proud closed disciple with satisfaction, what Jiang Anyi had done in the past few years was very much in line with his heart, and it also made him feel like he was going to pass on the fire.

"Anyi, I haven't eaten at Master Hongxin's place as a teacher, I don't want to eat your food for a year or two." As soon as Fan Yanzhong changed the image of Yan Shi, he joked when they met.

It is an enviable thing for people to be old and childlike. Jiang Anyi stepped forward to support the teacher and said with a smile: "If the teacher is willing, Anyi is willing to wash the pot and cook for the teacher every day." ”

Deng Haonan said with a smile on the side: "I heard that An Yi has Yi Yin's means, and today Deng is going to touch the light of Master Fan." ”

Qin Zixiong's purpose here was for Fan Yanzhong, and seeing that everyone was talking without introducing him, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the ground and said, "After studying late, Qin Zixiong will visit Fan Fuzi." ”

Jiang Anyi introduced: "Teacher, this is Qin Zixiong, the chief bookkeeper and county lieutenant of Fuluo County, who has been known as Master Mu for a long time, I heard that the teacher came to Huangyang Academy, and the disciple must bring him to meet you." ”

Fan Yanzhong said with a smile: "What is there to look at a bad old man, Lord Qin is afraid that he will be disappointed." ”

"I don't dare to be late, and I ask the master to call Zixiong's name." Qin Zixiong's face flushed with excitement, and being able to talk to Wenzong at close range was no less exciting than meeting the Son of Heaven.

The teacher has a life, Jiang Anyi exerted his twelve skills, made a table of dishes on the spot, plus the five grains and wine sent by Jiang Anyi, everyone was full of wine and food, and they were drunk with pleasure.

After staying at Huangyang Academy for a day, Jiang Anyi invited Fan Yanzhong and Deng Haonan to sit in his Fuluo County. Deng Haonan has been out for nearly a month, he is the head of Zechang Academy, he can't be out for too long, he is going to go back to Fuluo County after seeing it, Fan Fuzi is ready to play until the end of the year before returning home, the old man has time.

Sitting in the carriage, he didn't feel the bumps at all, Fan Yanzhong sighed: "Anyi, you came to Fuluo County, not to mention other achievements, just to renovate this official road is to do a practical thing for the people of Fuluo." ”

"Sir, it's not just the official roads, I've leveled all the roads between the townships in Fuluo County." Jiang Anyi showed off like a child who had won a reward in front of the teacher.

Deng Haonan asked: "For such a big project, how much conscription will be levied, and Anyi, you can't work too much." ”

"The mountain chief is too worried." Jiang Anyi smiled proudly: "It is those mountain bandits in Huangyang Village and some criminals who are traitors and criminals who repair these roads, and I will give them the opportunity to atone for their crimes." As for the levy and issuance of people's levies, they are all paid on a daily basis, and the price is 100 wen a day, and I have implemented the 'tax union into one' in Fuluo County, which is an example of this. ”

So it was, Deng Haonan stopped talking, and asked with great interest about the policy of "combining taxes into one", Fan Yanzhong interjected from time to time, and in less than two hours, he saw the city wall of Fuluo County. The walls have been renovated, the dead grass on them has long been removed, and the flags planted on the walls flutter in the wind, which are particularly majestic in the sun.

Stopping the carriage in front of the city wall, Deng Haonan sighed: "Learning and excellence is a master, and Anyi can benefit the people, which is really worthy of what he learned that day." ”

Fan Fuzi's requirements were stricter, and he said: "This official road is much better than what I have traveled all the way from Renzhou, but there are many pedestrians on this official road, and it is damaged quickly. ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Teacher, I plan to plant trees on both sides of the official road, set up a short pavilion in five miles and a long pavilion in ten miles, release some criminals who have committed minor crimes, let them live in peace near the pavilion, let them do some business according to the long pavilion, and maintain these roads by the way." ”

The pavilion is stopped. People stop gathering also. The long pavilion on the official road can be used for pedestrians to rest, and there are generally small traders who set up sheds next to the pavilion to sell some tea and snacks, and the small business can barely provide for the family to live, and there will even be a small market at the traffic artery, and there are farmers who come to the market regularly.

Fan Yanzhong approving: "Anyi is thoughtful. ”

Jiang Anyi continued: "There are mostly barren mountains and wastelands on both sides of the official road, and I am ready to encourage the people to reclaim the barren mountains and wasteland, and allow them not to pay taxes for three years. ”

Deng Haonan applauded and smiled: "This is benevolent government, so that the people don't have to go out to earn a living, and the family has more rations, and the children can go to school." ”

Pointing to the undulating hills beside the road, Jiang Anyi said: "Fuluo Qingwu tea, the production environment needs mountains and waters, and most of the mountains on both sides of the official road meet the requirements of tea tree growth, I am afraid that there will not be so many manpower to reclaim the mountains by then." ”

Fan Yanzhong shook his head and said: "Anyi, you are too worried, Dazheng has been flooded and drought in the past two years, and there are many displaced people, rather than letting them go into the mountains to become bandits, it is better to collect them to reclaim the fields to save themselves." As long as Anyi can provide the necessary shelter and grow food, I believe that there will be an endless stream of people who come to Fuluo County to reclaim the wasteland. ”

Jiang Anyi's purpose was to increase the population, and the Son of Heaven agreed with him in his will that he would turn the lower county into the upper county, and there was no need to worry about taxes, but the population could not be increased in a few years. If displaced people can be brought in from all over the country to live in peace, then the population problem will be solved by the way.

Everyone walked into the city, and people came and went in the city, and the business was prosperous, which was completely different from the lifeless atmosphere when Jiang Anyi entered the city. When the people saw Jiang County's order, they greeted him warmly, and Jiang Anyi responded with a smile, full of pride in his heart.

Fan Yanzhong and Deng Haonan looked at the street scene, they are all people who have experienced Cangsang, and they can naturally tell that the smiles on the faces of these people are sincere, it seems that Jiang Anyi is quite popular in Fuluo County, looking at the continuous flow of shops on both sides of the street, many stores are being renovated and opened, and Fuluo County is full of vitality.

The county office, Liu Jiusi saw Fan Yanzhong and Feng Haonan, and was as excited as Qin Zixiong, and asked for teaching without leaving three sentences. If it were placed in the ten years of studying Fan Yan, he would definitely give Liu Jiusi a bunch of white nuts, but now Fan Yanzhong is as gentle as the old man next door, and he will answer all questions. At Jiang Anyi's request, Fan Yanzhong and Deng Haonan both promised to go to the county school tomorrow to give a lecture to the students.

Fan and Deng did not live in the post house, but were invited to the Yellow Mansion by Jiang Anyi. In the pavilion, the three of them sat in groups, drinking wine and talking, some of which were easy to say in this environment.

Deng Haonan first said: "At the beginning of the year, the Son of Heaven sent 26 Beijing officials to take up their posts in the local area, the purpose of which was to implement the policy of 'combining taxes into one', I was deeply worried at the time, but after listening to Anyi's explanation of 'combining taxes into one', and seeing the people happy to work after the implementation of this policy in Fuluo County, I was relieved. ”

"Government is good governance, but I am afraid that the people in power will blindly cater to the mentality of the Son of Heaven who is eager to make money according to the actual situation, and then good government will do wrong things. Anyi was the one who proposed this policy, and I am afraid that there will be many people who will attack you at that time. In order to pass the blame, the Son of Heaven may make you a scapegoat. Fan Yanzhong is well-informed, and he is used to seeing the deceit of the court, and he himself was ostracized because of different political views, so he reminded Jiang Anyi: "You might as well summarize and report the successful methods of Fuluo County to the Son of Heaven for reference, and at the same time explain the pros and cons. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded in agreement. Turning his face and asking Deng Haonan, "Chief Shan, when I was in the academy, I listened to you, it seems that Shao Furen and others are making waves again, I don't know if An Yi can do something?" ”

Because Zhang Bojin (now Huang Xi's father-in-law) secretly slandered Jiang Anyi for colluding with the Yuan Tianjiao, the officers and soldiers went to Zechang Academy to arrest Jiang Anyi to Renzhou Sima Mansion, Shao Furen has always disliked Jiang Anyi, and stood by and watched, or later the student gathering made trouble, forcing the government to let people go, which made Jiang Anyi and Shao Furen's grudge deeper and deeper, so that Jiang Anyi was later forced out of Zechang Academy, and Deng Shanchang introduced Fan Yanzhong as his teacher.

Jiang Anyi is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, he emphasizes repaying grievances with straightforwardness, repaying kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge, Jiang Anyi doesn't mind stepping on Shao Furen, Zhao Xingfeng and others.
