Just as Chen Jiayu, the eldest daughter of Prince Chun, told Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying, then Princess Chun met Lin Shuran alone, hoping that she could say more good things in front of Xu Junze. At the flower silk banquet, it was even more so

Lin Shuran was asked to sit closest to the main seat.

Not only Princess Chun, but also the female relatives of other palaces who attended the flower and silk banquet, most of them were fawning over Lin Shuran. Who didn't know that the emperor's new decree was to fill the treasury, and none of them wanted to be taken advantage of.

Lin Shuran also learned from the conversation with them that the new Minister of Household Affairs had already excitedly told everyone that the Secretary of Agriculture had found a good way to increase grain production. One acre of land might be able to produce thousands of kilograms of grain during spring plowing and autumn harvest next year.

Unexpectedly, everyone who heard the news just laughed and ridiculed the new minister for his whims. For thousands of years, it was extremely rare to produce 500 jins per mu, let alone 1,000 jins per mu. The emperor must have done this for the sake of the new minister.

The purpose of the false news deliberately spread by the government decree is to make everyone willingly pay property taxes.

Yes, no one believed that the Jin Dynasty would have enough grain to produce thousands of pounds per mu, and more people regarded it as a "conspiracy" of the emperor, whose purpose was just to deceive the ignorant people and the nobles who were unwilling to pay taxes.

Sitting on the carriage returning after the flower silk banquet, Lin Shuran had a wry smile and helplessness on her face. She spent three years improving the quality of local grain seeds in the Jin Dynasty, and actually grew high-yielding grains. But apart from the ones she had seen with her own eyes,

People, no one else actually believed it.

Maybe a thousand catties per mu is too outrageous for people in this time and space, so they can't believe it, but as time goes by, they will always see with their own eyes that this is not a lie at all.

With a "clang", the carriage suddenly stopped as if it had hit something. Lin Shuran in the carriage suddenly leaned forward. Fortunately, both Lingqin and Feiyue quickly protected her.

"What's going on?" Lingqin scolded the groom coldly.

The driver who drove the carriage immediately reported back in fear: "Madam, there is a beggar bumping into me, it seems - it seems that the man has stopped moving!"

"Mrs. Xu, where are you?" Fei Heng forced himself to sit up.

Fei Heng shook his head again and said: "Thank you, Madam Xu, for your kindness. I came to Beijing alone. Now I have no home. I can go back to my home. I can go back to my home. That's it. That's all. I'll be buried wherever I go."

!”

With the ability of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it was easy to deal with a seventh-grade official. Fei Heng offended the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion by bringing down the Su family, so he was dismissed from office and imprisoned. It was really difficult for him.

flat.

Lin Shuran could hear the anger and dissatisfaction in Fei Heng's words. He was originally just a seventh-level county magistrate, but he risked his future and life to go against people like the Su family and Dingyuan Marquis. She admired him very much, and the people in the southern suburbs

The people also admired this "Master Fei" very much.

Facing Lin Shuran's kindness, Fei Heng was very grateful. He studied poetry and books for several years, determined to obtain fame, and vowed to be a good official for the country and the people. He rose from a local seventh-rank official to a seventh-rank official in the capital.

, although he was not promoted, he did a lot of things for the people, which was enough in his opinion. Only a high official can do practical things for the people. Even if he is a small official, he can still share the king's worries and redress the grievances of the people.

Fei Heng smiled sadly and said with a disappointed expression: "Mrs. Xu, please don't call me like this anymore. There is no need for Sir Fei. Now I am just a commoner."

"Lingqin, go down and take a look!" Lin Shuran ordered Lingqin. By the way, she opened the curtains of the carriage and saw a man with messy hair and dirty body lying next to her carriage. But the man was lying on the ground with his chest on the cold and hard floor.

On the bluestone road, it was hard to see his face clearly.

After a while, Fei Heng also woke up. He looked around blankly. It wasn't until Lin Shuran softly called "Master Fei" that he fixed his gaze on Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran did not expect that this blow would make Fei Heng so disheartened. It would be a pity for the people to lose such a good official. After thinking about it, she said to Fei Heng: "Even so, your current physical condition is not suitable.

Walk around more, let's do this. There happens to be Xu's shop on this street. You can rest in the backyard of the shop for a few days and wait until you feel better before deciding where to go. Thanks to you, Mr. Fei, evildoers like Su Sanqiang can be brought to justice.

, to eliminate harm for the people, please don’t refuse.”

Lin Shuran's face was full of surprise. Fei Heng had made great contributions to Su Sanqiang's case. Even if he didn't get promoted a few levels, he wouldn't have fallen to this level. Could it be that he made some mistakes during this time?

Seeing the confusion in Lin Shuran's eyes, Fei Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Mrs. Xu, there is no need to be so shocked. I have been dismissed from office and was just released from prison. I offended the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Now I still have one life left.

This is my blessing, Fei Heng!"

"Master Fei, this is a medical clinic, why are you—" Lin Shuran looked at him and hesitated, not knowing what happened to him.

Fortunately, after being diagnosed and treated by doctors at the medical center, Fei Heng was not seriously ill, but his body was too weak. He could just drink some decoction and go back to rest.

"Your body is still very weak. I'll have someone take you home first!" Fei Heng was a good official praised by the people. Lin Shuran also sympathized with his plight and wanted to help him more.

At this time, Lin Shuran also saw the man's appearance clearly, and was shocked. Isn't this the new magistrate of Shichuan County, Mr. Fei Hengfei? I haven't seen him for a while, how did he become like this?!

It happened that there was a medical center nearby. Lin Shuran asked Lingqin to take Fei Heng to the medical center first, and she followed. After all, Fei Heng was knocked down by her carriage.

Lingqin jumped off the carriage, raised her hand and turned the man over, then squatted down and put her fingers on the man's nose to test, then looked up at Lin Shuran at the window and said: "Madam, this

People are still angry."

After a moment of confusion, Fei Heng saw clearly that the woman he was talking to was Lin Shuran, the youngest daughter of the wife of General Xu, who he had met in Sujiazhuang in the southern suburbs.

It's a pity that he has nowhere to throw his passion. People like Wei Qianjie, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who abuse power for personal gain and bring trouble to the imperial court, can run rampant in the Jin Dynasty. It is really a disaster for the Jin Dynasty and the people.

In the end, Fei Heng was persuaded by Lin Shuran to stay temporarily in the backyard of Xu's pharmacy. Lin Shuran then told Jin Liu to take good care of him, then got on the carriage and returned to the General's Mansion.

It was rare that Xu Junze also returned to his house today. He seemed to have not had much rest outside and went back to his room after dinner.

Lin Shuran thought he had gone to bed first, but when she came to the inner room, she found him sitting on a chair in his middle coat, as if waiting for her to come back.
