The next morning, Jiang Anyi appeared in the court with a refreshing spirit.

I was not in the government office in the past month, and I had a lot of official duties. Fortunately, I didn’t help but sort the official documents, and I would send someone to deliver them to him for processing. Most of the remaining items were printed and passed. After an hour, a lot of official documents were processed.

Assistant officials from his subordinates gathered, Jiang Anyi asked about agriculture, animal husbandry, taxes, public security, etc. Finally, his eyes fell on Tu Yonghe, a resident of the zodiac engineering department, and asked: "Tu Hu Zuo, what progress has been made in the zodiac engineering department during this period?"

When he was able to stay in the government office, Tu Yonghe's little heart was pounding excitedly. When he heard the governor call him, Tu Yonghe hurriedly said: "Sir, since he was a servant, he has worked hard to make things wrong for the master. In the past two months, the subordinates and subordinates have obtained 18 good recipes for a hundred industries, including five farming, three farming, five dyeing, two bricks and tiles, and one chariot and ships. They all have written and drawn graphics for the adults to check."

Taking advantage of the time when the yamen runners went to the official party to pick up the picture album, Jiang Anyi asked about the progress of leather making and blanket weaving. The people who returned from the Western Regions only knew some of the craftsmanship and the technology was far from clear. Jiang Anyi also knew that the Western Regions would definitely keep these goods exported to Zheng State strictly confidential, and they could only see that more people who returned in the future improved the craftsmanship.

The picture album was taken, Tu Yonghe held the case presented to Jiang Anyi in his own hands, stood by the table, pointing at the album, explaining to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi's expression gradually became solemn. These eighteen good prescriptions and practical things can be realized by the people. The effect on social economy will be immeasurable.

Fang Shishu came to the lobby, and Jiang Anyi handed the picture album to Fang Biejia, saying, "Mr. Fang, come and take a look at the recipes collected by Tu Huzuo, which are in line with the way of 'Investigating things and exploring the principles'. If it can be implemented, the people will benefit a lot. Mr. Fang, you see, this wheat craftsman is the experience of the old farmer. According to this method, the income of each acre of wheat fields will increase by half a dou, and our Huazhou can also increase the production of more than 10,000 stones of grain. With this grain in hand, why worry about the wasteland years?"

Hearing Jiang Anyi's tone solemn, Fang Shishu carefully read a few articles, closed the picture album and sighed: "The picture album contains all good recipes. If it is promoted, it is a blessing for the people. All counties can send people to study in the horoscope and spread it to the people. Tu Huzuo, I heard that you worked hard to find these good recipes, saying good things and paying money, and you are really burdened."

Tu Yonghe's eyes were wet and she choked and said, "The lower official is valued by Master Jiang, and he dares to repay him without doing his best. He will not hide it from him. Since he took office, he has lost more than ten pounds in two months."

Only then did Jiang Anyi notice that Tu Yong and his cheeks were deeply sunken, and they had indeed lost a lot of weight. It seemed that the governor did not care enough for his subordinates. He apologized: "Tu Hu Zuo, I know your intention. All industries in Huazhou are about to be developed. I need talent like Tu Hu Zuo, so I should take care of you. You should not bear the cost of compiling the picture album. According to fact, it is just that I can report to the Sihu Army to join the army. I cannot let you both contribute and spend money. The picture album compiled this time is very good, and I will reward 200 taels of silver for 1000 taels of silver for 1000 taels of merit. I will remember once."

Tu Yonghe was so moved that tears flowed. His efforts were seen by the governor. No matter how much hard work was worth it. The voice of governor Jiang came from his ears: "This album is condensed by the hard work of all craftsmen, and is in line with the way of nature. The sky is sometimes, the earth has energy, the material has beauty, and the craftsmanship is skillful. The so-called things are born from heaven, and craftsmanship is opened by people. This album can be called "Craftsmanship Creation". This official decided to print and pass it on to later generations.

”

Jiang Anyi picked up his pen and wrote the four words "Craftsmanship" on the cover. Tu Yonghe knelt on the ground and said in tears: "Tu thanks all the craftsmen in the world for appreciation."

Scholars have three immortals, one of which is to make words. With Master Fan Ziyan's reputation as a man of old age, he wrote the book "Yunshuitan Talk" under the persuasion of Jiang Anyi. For thousands of years, all scholars in the world have been proud to compile their words and deeds into books and spread them to the world. A hundred craftsmen are regarded as a cheap career in the four farming fields, and very few books have been passed down from generation to generation. Jiang Anyi wanted to engrave "Craftsmanship" and was indeed making a name for the craftsmen in the world.

The books published in previous dynasties were mostly official editions, and were uniformly printed by the Imperial College. Most of them were the words of the emperor, the classics of the Master, the historical books of the previous dynasty, the poems of literati, etc. The folk bookstores also engraved some notes on the meaning of classics, the selection of time and poetry novels, etc. The quality of the engravings was not as good as that of the official edition, but the price was much cheaper. Some rich people, such as high officials in a certain dynasty, would privately engrave the poems, songs and essays they wrote, which is a private edition.

The cost of engraving a book is nearly 1,000 taels, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even the books printed in the warehousing book are priced at around fifty texts, so most poor scholars do not buy books, but borrow books to copy. The engraving of "Craftsmanship and Creation" is engraved. As the editor of this album, Tu Yonghe's name must be passed down to later generations together with this book. How can Tu Yonghe not be excited?

After everyone left, Fang Shishu called Jin Shuiyuan, a professor at the prefecture, and said to Jiang Anyi: "Sir, this year is the year of the provincial examination. Professor Jin told me that the houses in the Gongyuan were old and some places were damaged. Fang saw them a few days ago and it really needed some repairs. It costs about 1,000 taels of silver. I hope Lord Jiang will approve it."

Last year, the government office left more than 500,000 taels of silver in the treasury. Since the beginning of spring, nearly more than 100,000 taels were used to dig canals and repair roads. The remaining more than 300,000 taels were sufficient for the annual expenses. However, the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion moved to the town, and the court only gave 400,000 taels of silver. Nearly two-thirds of the vacancy had to be filled, and the silver suddenly became tense.

Jiang Anyi sighed: "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor, and this money cannot be saved. Huazhou's literary style is mostly at home in the gentry. This year, Jimin Academy was newly established. I wonder if there are several juren. I want to see more poor scholars appear. By the way, Professor Jin, how is the matter of collecting poetry and essays going on?"

After the Dabei Tiangou held the apricot blossom meeting, Jiang Anyi struck while the iron was hot and announced the collection of poems and essays praising the scenery of Huazhou. The first place was rewarded with 600 taels of silver, the second place was awarded with two, each with 400 taels of silver, and the third place was awarded with three, and the 200 taels of silver. The evaluation time was set on September 9th. At that time, the Cuishan Mountain climbing to evaluate poetry and essays is also a elegant event.

Jiang Anyi commissioned the collection of poetry and essays to Professor Jin Xuejin of the Prefecture. Jin Shuiyuan bowed and said, "More than a hundred poems and essays have been collected, but unfortunately there are no excellent works. Seeing that the provincial examination is about to be held, the examiners from all counties come to the prefecture one after another. The officials want to take the opportunity to hold a few elegant meetings, and maybe a great work will appear at that time."

Before the exam, the students gathered to chant the wind and chant the moon. Showing up poetry is also a way to gain fame. Many nobles are willing to hold poetry meetings at this time to make friends with promising scholars first, and the government will also hold similar gatherings. When Jiang Anyi went to Beijing to take the exam, he also participated in the Fengshan gathering organized by the Imperial College. He was appreciated by Duke Shen and met the prince and Princess Anle.

Seeing Jin Shuiyuan's bright eyes, Jiang Anyi knew his intentions. He was necessary to hold a rally and asked for money, so he just wanted to do so.

Be generous. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "For the sake of Mr. Fang, this time, the tribute court repairs will be 1,400 taels of silver, and the money for the repair and assembly will be included."

Jin Shuiyuan was very satisfied and smiled and said, "It's enough. The officials will definitely organize a gathering, promote the literary style of Huazhou, and search for a few good poems and essays to present to the adults."

Jiang Anyi let him retreat and said to Fang Shishu: "I am not in the mansion, it depends on Gong Fang. Jiang thanked me."

"An Yi, you go out for official business, why do you have to thank you? The site selection of the Anxi Protectorate has been decided. It is now the busy farming process, and the workforce and materials are enough. The Anxi army will move 60,000 yuan this year, so there must be no scattering. Otherwise, the Yang Dashui really dares to kill people. If it really doesn't work, he will recruit labor from the prefectures and counties next to Huazhou. There is a wage of 40 cents. Those who know it will rush to come." Fang Shishu said with some pain: "It's a pity that the construction period is tight, otherwise I wouldn't let the fat water flow to other people's fields. Alas, the wages of the people in Huazhou are high now."

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is all the people of Zheng State, so there is no saying that the water flows out. By the way, Mr. Fang, I heard that Young Marshal Yang did not return to Bingzhou and lived in Huiye Mansion?"

Fang Shishu sighed and said, "An Yi, I was about to mention this matter to you. This young marquis made a mess in the Huiye Mansion and was unruly."

Fang Shishu shook his head repeatedly with his beard. He had heard of Yang Zhongwu's big fuss about Qixianlou. On the surface, it was a conflict between the Weiyuan Escort Agency and the Zhenwei Escort Agency, but in fact it was a trial between the Anxi Protectorate and the Governor Jiang. How could Fang Shishu not understand?

Zhenwei Escort Agency took advantage of the Jiang Governor Jiang's foothold in Huazhou. Fang Shishu was a little disliked, but Zhenwei Escort Agency was doing business and Jiang Governor did not come forward to take care of it. As for the people behind it, he couldn't say anything. Weiyuan Escort Agency is a local tyrant in the Huazhou Escort Agency. Of course, he refused to stop his interests. It was afraid that the governor Jiang would not dare to take action. However, this time he had a relationship with Young Marshal Yang, and the conflict between the two escort agencies intensified, which was all small matters. Fang Shishu's most feared is that the Anxi Protectorate and Jiang Governor Jiang will have conflicts in the future, and the damage to the Huazhou economy. The old man has been worried these days and wants to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Jiang Governor Jiang. But when the matter is about to come, he doesn't know where to start.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "I can guess what Mr. Fang is just afraid that I will have a conflict with the Anxi Protectorate, and that the career and career in Huazhou will be unfavorable."

"good."

Jiang Anyi stood up, took two steps in the lobby, and looked at Fang Shishu with righteous thoughts and said, "Mr. Fang, you know my character, but not the right thing to do. If the Anxi Protectorate is doing for the country and the country, then even if Jiang suffers some losses, he will give in. But if the Anxi Protectorate uses his authority to do whatever he wants, Jiang will fight even if he is torn to pieces."

Fang Shishu had a solemn face, staring at Jiang Anyi's eyes and asked, "Anyi, it's not that I can't believe you. I'm afraid that you will not be able to hold on to your own right or wrong in your own right or wrong, and will fight for a temporary loyalty and miss the national affairs."

"Mr. Fang said it well. I can trust Mr. Fang. If I have a dispute with Anxi Protectorate in the future, whether it is right or wrong will be judged by Mr. Fang." Jiang Anyi said with a sigh.
