Chapter 163 The Worries of the People-Friendly County Magistrate

"Huanzhi, why are you alone here?" Yao Chong came to Pei Yaoqing with the method of growing mung bean sprouts and red bean sprouts.

When Pei Yaoqing tries a case, if it is not a big case, he will not be in charge.

He is just like the senior municipal officials in the capital city. If you want to say that the official is small, it is not small. If you want to say big, there are a lot of bigger ones above.

Of course, he does not have as high a rank as a senior city official.

At this moment, Pei Yaoqing was sitting in the yamen, not sitting on top, but chatting with an old man below. There were only two people in the whole hall.

There are no documents and no government officials.

The old man sat next to him, drinking tea made from tea leaves obtained from Li Yi, and said wow wow.

Pei Yaoqing listened patiently. Anyway, nothing happened. The old man did not come to complain, but strolled over and happened to see the county magistrate at the door.

He said hello and was invited in by Pei Yaoqing to talk in the lobby.

Otherwise, it would be quite deserted to be alone.

What Yao Chong saw when he came over was this scene.

"Prime Minister Yao is here, and they all went to do business. Dad, the prime minister came to talk to me. Let's talk some other time." Pei Yaoqing said to the old man.

"Okay, I didn't know that before. You are so kind to Mingfu. The family will be able to save some spare money this year. It's just that the two and a half-year-old babies can't do the work. Wait until they grow up."

The old man said to Pei Yaoqing, and then looked up at Yao Chong. The prime minister seemed to be about the same age as himself and was quite kind.

As he said that, he stood up and clasped his fists at Yao Chong to leave.

"Brother, wait a minute." Yao Chong stopped him.

"Prime Minister Yao." Pei Yaoqing thought that Yao Chong was trying to make things difficult for others, but that was not acceptable. Even if he was a junior official, he still had to protect him.

"The truth... I came back from Li Yi and I have a good way to benefit the people. Just now this old man said that it is feasible if there is a half-grown baby at home."

Yao Chong explained that in the past he wouldn't have cared if he was old or not.

Nowadays, I always have contact with Li Yi, and he is much calmer.

"Sit down, father-in-law, and I'll make a cup of tea for Mr. Yao. It's a good thing." Pei Yaoqing said to the old man.

"Good thing? Okay, I won't dare to listen to the court's secrets if I stay a little longer." The old man stood there without sitting down.

Pei Yaoqing put some tea leaves in the teacup, poured boiling water on it, and brought it over.

Yao Chong looked at the tea bowl and said: "I drink this tea according to your majesty's request. You just go over and get it directly with the official body."

"Prime Minister Yao, please don't slander your subordinates. Being able to get tea has nothing to do with your official status. The county magistrate can't get it, and Li Yi won't give it." Pei Yaoqing argued.

Go and get it as an official? Are you kidding, that's robbery.

"If Li Yi doesn't use you as Chang'an Ling Anmin, will he give you something?" Yao Chong was not polite at all.

The old man was dumbfounded, you...

"Boy, please, please don't start a fight." The old man was anxious, mainly because he was afraid that the young Pei Yaoqing would beat the old prime minister and cause trouble.

"How dare I be disrespectful to Mr. Yao? Mr. Yao came here to say good things." Pei Yaoqing smiled.

"Pack a pound for me later." Yao Chong asked for tea first, otherwise why would he be saying these things?

"As long as Mr. Yao likes it." Pei Yaoqing agreed.

"Yesterday, Li Yi said that bean sprouts should be grown. He said that it was recorded in medical books that bean sprouts made from black soybeans can cure diseases. Mung beans and red adzuki beans can also be used."

Yao Chong said, taking out the method of growing bean sprouts from his sleeve and handing it to Pei Yaoqing.

Pei Yaoqing took it with both hands and flipped through it. There were not many words in it, so he read it quickly.

"Can it reduce the chance of colds, oh, typhoid fever? It can also cure mouth ulcers. Stir-fried and quickly blanched, it can still function as food."

Pei Yaoqing summarized what is the use of eating bean sprouts.

He turned to the old man and said, "I will tell you how to use mung beans and red adzuki beans to make bean sprouts. You can sell these or eat them yourself."

"Mingfu, tell me, I can remember it." The old man was illiterate and could only listen.

"Soak the beans in water, then pour the water out, put them in a warm place, cover them with a little cloth, and you don't need to cover them with the cloth until they sprout..."

Translated by Pei Yaoqing, what Li Yi wrote is: One liter of beans, placed in a wooden trough, with a height of about an inch and a radius of two feet, soaked in warm water for half a day, filtered, covered with wet silk, placed in a warm place, and poured with water for a day to re-wet. , the buds sprout, the cover can be removed, wait for the buds to grow...

If he told the old man this, Pei Yaoqing would be afraid of being beaten.

After speaking, he complained: "Why is Li Yi writing like this? Isn't it beneficial to the people?"

"If you want to put it into the book, let him write it directly. If he is just a craftsman, he will naturally dictate it, and others will write it down and sort it out, but he is not." Yao Chong said.

When it is included in the book, it must be written in the book, so the writing will naturally be different.

No one wanted to find anyone else, so they just asked Li Yi to write. Anyway, he could write anything.

"I see, Li Yi is indeed a scholar, farmer, industrialist and merchant." Pei Yaoqing understood.

"Pass it out and let the people of Chang'an use it. In a moment... come and have a meal with me in heaven and on earth. I have a card."

Yao Chong didn't want to go back to the political hall immediately. He could guess that before, he took care of everything by himself, but now Zhang Shuo and Lu Huaishen have become bigger.

What are you going back for? Everything was handled by two people.

"Okay, do you want to go to the revolving restaurant? I wonder if anyone is booked there today."

Pei Yaoqing agreed, and he also had a card, but he had never been to the revolving restaurant once and could not get a seat.

Use your official position to rob? He is definitely seeking death.

To seize the place in heaven and earth, it is better to go directly to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to treat you to a meal.

At least His Majesty's life is not in danger even if he doesn't agree.

"Go to the second floor to eat hot pot and barbecue. You can help yourself. Brother, let's go together." Yao Chong invited the old man.

The old man shook his head: "I can't go. I'm going back now to ask my two and a half-year-old children to grow bean sprouts. I remember."

Yao Chong thought for a moment: "Brother, don't worry about growing bean sprouts. If you can't sell them, or if you can't sell them at a high price, go to Pei Yaoqing. He will charge you at least the price of the beans. The sprouts are much heavier than the beans."

Yao Chong sold Pei Yaoqing, but what if Pei Yaoqing collected the bean sprouts? Go ask Li Yi.

The old man left with satisfaction. He was safe. He went home to get the beans to grow bean sprouts. If it didn't work, he came to the county magistrate, as the prime minister said.

Pei Yaoqing shouted loudly, and the person who was handling paperwork in another room of the Yamen came over glumly to help look after the lobby.

He also wanted to attract investment, but he had too many things to do and had to stay behind.

Come over with the paperwork, read it, and process it.

Pei Yaoqing followed Yao Chong to the heaven and earth to eat. There were few people, but the revolving restaurant was spinning, indicating that there were people.

"There aren't many people today." Yao Chong said to Lu Wan who came to greet him.

Lu Wan laughed: "Today...at this moment...it's time."

At ten o'clock in the morning, of course there were fewer people.

"Thankfully I didn't eat too much in the morning." Yao Chong said thankfully.

"Me too." Pei Yaoqing followed.

The two chose a location on the adjacent street and opened the window. Luwan asked someone to get a glass frame, stuck it on the lower third of the window, and covered it with cloth.

Sitting there like this, I have a view of the outside world and Yao Chong's treatment.

Put the utensils and seasonings, as well as charcoal, pots and grates.

Just pour the hot chicken soup into the pot and it's ready to be rinsed.

The small boat carrying the ingredients floats in the falling flowers and flowing water.

Neither of them went to get it, and looked at the street outside together.

"There was news from the Ministry of Household Affairs two days ago that they are looking for money in your county." Yao Chong said to Pei Yaoqing.

But the big name was Zhong Shaojing. When Li Longji killed Empress Wei, he personally led two hundred slaves and Ding Fu to kill him.

There was Da Gong and Li Longji, and then Li Longji became the emperor, so he became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Prince Zhan Shi.

Yao Chong was particularly disgusted with him, and now he told Pei Yaoqing, which meant that you should quickly find a way to get him out.

Pei Yaoqing frowned. He knew that Zhong Shaojing was not a very good person, especially because the people did not like him and he was not from the same group as him.

But go down? How to operate? Looking for Li Yi?
