Mei Xun got up and washed, smoked the incense, and sat in the pavilion in the garden and drank tea slowly. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Ju stood not far away and reported to him what he saw in the morning as Xu Ping went to the racecourse, Mei couldn't help nodding.

Speaking of the situation of the pasture in Xu Ping's Zhuangzi, Mei asked: "I have heard about this matter many times, and Xu Zhizhi specially mentioned it to me. However, when I asked the officials of the Herding Division, they all said that it was inconvenient to carry it out, and it was really difficult to calculate the forage collection. ”

Han Ju asked cautiously: "So, when the pastoral supervisor collects the grass, he still collects the loose grass, and then presses it into bales when he arrives in the forage field?" Although transportation is still inconvenient, it saves the place where the horse farm stores grass, and it is also convenient to feed. ”

Mei Xun sighed: "Where is it so simple? What should I do if the forage farm is inspected? Wouldn't it be even more chaotic if the forage stored in the pasture did not match the account books. This matter cannot be done urgently, and it needs to be considered in the long run. ”

In the final analysis, it was just because the matter involved multiple yamen, and the official in charge didn't want to cause trouble for himself. If you really want to do it wholeheartedly, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, but why did Mei Xun take this errand for herself?

Han Ju had no choice but to put this matter down and continue.

Speaking of using a mare to lure the stallion for sperm, Mei Xun suddenly became interested again and wanted to see it again.

Xu Pingxin said, there are only a few excellent stallions in my horse farm, each of which is piled up with money, don't you want to tire them to death by tossing them like this? This is in my village, eating me and living in mine, so many people, I took the money to go in, and the toss is endless, right? It's really done, and I don't know what the benefits are, how can I do this?

Looking at the sky, Xu Ping asked Mei: "Bachelor, it's not early, let's hurry up and get on the road." If you go late, I'm afraid that you won't be able to return to the capital until dark, and the city gate will be in trouble. ”

It was the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and Mei Xun didn't want to stay outside the city longer, so after thinking about it, she had to nod and agree. In normal times, he would definitely stay here for an extra day, and it would be pleasing to the eye to see the scenery in the grange.

After arranging the guard of honor, Su Shen accompanied him to the border of Zhongmu County, and returned with a farewell.

Along the way, Xu Ping's heart was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that he would find Mei Xunmen in a hurry, but he just went to his village to play around, which was equivalent to not doing anything. If I knew this, it would be better to find Han Ju directly, not to mention that it is not so troublesome, and I don't have to spend so much time on the road, and I can do more practical things.

Mei Xun is bold and able to speak when encountering problems, and he is not afraid of offending people, but doing this kind of thing is really not his specialty, and he does not focus on it. The same is true of the atmosphere of the imperial court, what can be done is not as good as what can be said, what can be said is not as good as what can be blown, and what can be blown is not as good as being able to drill camps around, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign officialdom is like this, who can do anything?

When he returned to the capital, the more Xu Ping thought about it, the more wrong things became. If this continues, things are likely to be pushed back and forth between the yamen, and I don't know when I can really do it, and I have wasted all my hard work.

As soon as he entered the house, the servant guarding the door said: "The marquis, the prince often visits, and is waiting in the flower hall." ”

Xu Ping thought about it for a while, but he was afraid that Wang Su was still not at ease with his newly purchased grange, and wanted to take advantage of the holiday to invite himself to take a look. The king of this grange has great hopes, and he is more concerned about his family and industry than before.

When he arrived in the flower hall, after finishing the salute with Wang Su, and sat down with the guest and host, Xu Ping asked, "Zhongyi, why do you have time to come to the cold house today?" Isn't there something important? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that it's the Dragon Boat Festival, and I want us to get together in the same year in the capital. Unconsciously, it has been nine years since the fifth year of Tiansheng, and everyone is struggling in the sea, and it is rare to have some leisure. ”

"Okay, okay, that's right. If you don't say it, I have some meaning. ”

There are not many people in the capital in the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, even the only few people, and it is rare to get together in normal times. Now that Wang Su and Ji Ying are more idle in the pavilion, Xu Ping and Han Qi rarely have time. The Third Division and Kaifeng Mansion are both yamen with complicated affairs, and it is difficult to spare free time not all day.

Wang Su sighed: "Don't hide it, what I've been thinking about these days is the newly purchased Zhuangzi." Now there is still a lot of idle land around Kaifeng Mansion, and if this Zhuangzi is done well, more land can be added at the end of the year. This time, I invite you to my Zhuangzi, firstly, we will get together in the same year, and secondly, I will help me with my staff. ”

"It should. In fact, Zhongyi doesn't have to be nervous, the cultivation of the field is not something that can be completed in a year or two, as long as you take care of it, the soil will not trap people. You are not far from the Bianhe River, the drainage ditch is dug neatly, and the water of the Bianhe River can be diverted to irrigate, and it will become a good land in a year. Unlike me, where the golden water and rivers are clear, this method does not work. ”

"Someone mentioned to me that Wang Shengyuan returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he also specifically talked to me about the method of silting and irrigation. It's just that there is no one here in Kaifeng Mansion to do it, and I can't make up my mind in my heart. ”

Wang Yanzi Shengyuan, who previously served as a transit envoy in Hebei, built water conservancy in Hebei and made considerable achievements. He himself is very complacent about this matter, and when he meets a colleague, he will inevitably have to give some advice.

Xu Ping was not familiar with the matter of silting, so he had to say vaguely: "Let's talk about it when I get to your Zhuangzi, I haven't done these things either, so I don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

The servant brought tea, Xu Ping took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered in his heart, and said to Wang Su: "I don't know how Zhongyi is doing in the pavilion these days?" I met Yin Zhu and Ouyang Xiu and others going out for a banquet a few times, but I didn't see you. ”

Wang Su smiled and shook his head: "My family is in the capital, and I am usually entangled in mundane affairs, where can I find time." ”

Xu Ping knew that Wang Su had a large number of relatives in the capital, and they were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, of course, it was impossible to be idle every day like those people in the pavilion, and if he wanted to socialize, he would also socialize with his own relatives.

After thinking for a while with tea, Xu Ping tried to ask Wang Su: "Now that the free days in the pavilion, Zhong Yi is still used to it?" ”

Hearing Xu Ping repeatedly ask how he was doing, Wang Su knew what Xu Ping meant, and asked, "What, isn't Yunxing having any ministry to introduce to me?" Naturally, I can't ask for it, so why should I waste time in the pavilion. ”

Xu Ping put down the teacup and said with a smile: "That's right!" I raised horses in the village, and figured out a way to raise a large number of good horses, and I thought of reporting to the court, so I found Master Mei——"

Speaking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his head.

"What, Master Fei Mei thinks it's not feasible? Still not paying attention? ”

"No, Master Mei is in the academy, and he doesn't have time to worry about the affairs of the herd division on weekdays, and the herd department is now understaffed, so if you want to do it according to my method, you can do it with your heart."

"Yun Xing means—"

"In the past, there were mostly two herd judges, but now only Han Ju is in office, so there is a natural shortage of manpower. I thought that Zhong Yi wouldn't be idle in the pavilion anyway, so it was better to be the judge of the herdsmen. With the actual dispatch, the grinding is also a good order of qualifications, and now is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, why should we give up this opportunity to our own people. ”

The qualifications of the judge and the herd envoy are far apart, and Wang Su's qualifications are enough, so Xu Ping started the idea. (To be continued.) )
